Anyone know of a good website I could read through some strategies?

What army do you play?

Whats your strategy?

And as the US how can I ward off those ridiculously large Chinese tanks?

i've been playing chinese because that's the only army i know. i just finished the gla campaign so i'll try using them a couple of times. usually with the chinese i try to get to overlord building asap. then i send in a bunch of battlemasters and those chain gun guys and overlords with the speaker towers and a couple with gatling guns. get nukes going too and the black lotus is key. i send her in and take over key buildings like power structures and research tree necessities.

check this out for some strategies
 

Impossible to control your units. Got a headache and deleted it. Went back to Advance Wars.

I use either the GLA or the Chinese. I don't really like playing as the US for some reason. That might change. Basically, I use the same strategy that works in every other rts. Control the resources and never let your opponent build up. If you can do that, you will win every time.

What about hospitals? Are they on a lot of the multiplayer maps?

And it seems to me that the chinese are way more superior.

You suck.
The latest 1.05 really helped GLA gain up. They still suck, though. I play as china. In my opinion... China > USA (GREAT air force though) > GLA (only good for mad rushing, but their low armor means that they'll always get cut down).

The best strategy is to attack, this game is built upon it. Turtlers just get killed, the more you attack the more generals' points you get, and you stop the opponents progress at the same time. Capture any resources you can quickly. China has a marginally better army (although in some dispute). Me personally, they are easier to get to grips with than any other nation. If you learn your side well, you can win with that side.

GLA can tear anyone apart if done correctly.

China however has super powerful overlord tanks, that may take a while to start building, but once you have a force, say buhbye.

USA airforce is great, until you get attacked by chain gunners, and paladins cant help you then.

China: Start off building right up to the overlord. Build as many of them as possible, and put like 3 gattling guns per 1 speaker tower overlord you have. Then get some of the long range artillery to back you up, and a few flame throwers, say goodbye to most any force. Build up bunkers, and surround them with the mines, should help against most ground based forces.


USA: build as many paladins, and comanches as possible. Build as many anti-infantry as possible too. This should help you. Paladins will take out missiles, but not chain gun fire.


GLA: immediately build whatever you can. Suicide bombers are good. Build them fast, and run them to the opposing teams base quickly. Back them up with a posion guy. Then for protection build as many of the explosive barrels as possible all around your base. Build up as many suicide stuff as you can and attack.

I play this game a lot. I agree about china being superior. However, I do love USAs airforce (very fun to use). Nothing beats Chinas bunkers full of rocket guys and a few gatling guns for defense. Mows down angry mobs, etc, and USA cant flashbang the bunker. Sometimes I just build 10 nukes and kill my enemy that way. I don't like losing guys in battle. Against USA I use my EMP, then go in with Lotus. I use my general promotion points this way, save them up till level 3. then get lvl3 artillery, and EMP when I am level 5. Then the rest is up to you. Maybe get medium repair etc. Also, one superweapon never takes out another, it always requires either a10s or artillery along with a superweapon. However, if you are playing against, say, China and they have a nuke counting down, and all you have ready is either a10 or artillery, then go for their power. They may have 2 nuclear power stations together, and the artillery will surely take those out, then the nuke won't have power. Just do whatevr works.

If you play as USA, Col burton kicks ass with advanced promotion. When he is level 3 a gla stinger site dies fast. I could go on and on. PM me if you have any questions.

i've played a few games as GLA at LANs and a couple online and i have yet to lose. i'm 11-0 multiplayer. GLA is damn great side to play as, you just have to know how to use em. sure they may not have an air-force, but they don't need one, their anti-air is superior anyway. remember, always mix in some angry mobs into your army... actually, build "around" the angry mobs. have anti-air to protect the mobs from any air attacks and focus the rest of your tanks on the gatling cannon's or other good infantry-killing tanks (such as nuke artillery for instance. basically, two angry mobs with ak-47s can tear apart a group of tanks in seconds, and bases even faster. and once the mobs start to level thats game :)

Too bad my 16 MiGs with upgraded armor and black napalm just took out all your mobs, created a firestorm, and knocked out 70% of your main battle force. I love migs. They almost never get shot down until they drop their payload.

I feel like if you play usa verse china that once you are past the initial parts of the game USA does not stand a chance...

So its either rush or lose.. What am I missing here?

that is basically true, unless you have a massive amount of airforce power to counter the Overlords. Also, massive amounts of rocket dudes take tanks out quickly VERY quickly. you wouldnt think so but they do.

China has tons of power if they get overlords going.

in fact, i am going to play my bro in a second (he is normally china) so i ma gunna be hmmm. USA and try a huge force of air.

although i am normally china against him so actually i am gunna be china too

The problem with rocket infantry is a few migs and they'll all get taken out. 8 migs with black napalm will create a huge black firestorm totally killing off most of the enemy army.

It's not unbalanced, you just have to know how to play.
