- An Imagining of the cut Fai General's Challenge fight
- Assume control as one of the 10 general's armies to challenge General Fai and his infantry horde located amongst the cherry blossom trees in Fai's main stronghold
- To those unaware Vanilla General's Zero Hour has a few generals who never received a proper general challenge map and were instead left out as opponents you were able to face, Fai being one of those generals. This map is an imagining of what could have been his general's challenge map whilst still following the formula of my previous general challenge remakes.
- I also added gatling cannons to Fai's arsenal as he was originally meant to be able to produce them but were instead cut from the main game - I have since readded them for better unit variety
- If you're having a hard time I recommend lowering the difficulty as I set appropriate difficulties when you select them on the Custom Missions Screen.
- EASY - 20k cash, faster XP gain per kill, Fai seldom uses artillery units, lighter attacks, level 1 artillery only, level 1 infantry drop, longer initial nuclear missile timers
- MEDIUM (Recommended for first blind play through) - 15k cash, moderate XP gain per kill, Average attack strength, level 2 artillery barrage, level 2 infantry drop, initial Nuclear Missiles whilst having a longer timer isn't as generous as compared to Easy
- HARD - 10k cash, low XP gain per kill, Brutal attacks, level 3 artillery, level 3 paradrop, Highly recommend playing medium before you attempt hard, it's quite a significant step up in difficulty
- When playtesting I found Hard to be nigh impossible and had to receive countless nerfs, if you wish to best Fai as a general without snipers or cash bounty I sincerely wish you the best of luck, give 'em hell!
----- TIPS -----
1.) Take a moment to learn the map, learn what tech structures are around you and what supply piles you can easily reach. Also understand all avenues Fai can attack from
2.) Spending a general's point for pathfinders will be a use boon in keeping Fai's attacks at bay, if you're playing as Kassad Quad Cannons with the Quad Cannon Sniper Round Upgrade will probably be the most overpowered unit when facing Fai's arsenal
3.) Fai can and will use neutron shells on his nuke cannons which are able to unman vehicles, clear out garrisons, and, most vexingly, can kill everything you have stored in tunnel networks. They are insidious and can single handedly undermine your defense line, especially if you're utilizing bunkers and tunnel networks
4.) Fai will use bunker helixs and attempt to flank your base with them, be careful
5.) Destroying important base structures such as Command Centers, Barracks, War Factories etc. will expedite the hidden timer controlling when Fai will unleash his horde, being more aggressive will cause him to be provoked and unleash it sooner than expected
6.) Fai will drop his infantry battalion via cargo planes, stock up on anti-air to prevent yourself from being overran
7.) I changed various modules in the map.ini - if you were experiencing crashes and issues when saving in loading in previous maps they should (for the most part) be solved, you can save and load as you wish.
- In the chance you stumble upon any bugs or quirks with the AI please feel free to let me know.
- Have fun generals
- I will likely take a little break before I begin making the next challenge map remake, these maps take a lot of work from just one person and while they are super fun to produce I also have work and college to juggle while I make these. Can't promise when the next map will release but what I can promise is that more will eventually come. If you wish to suggest who I should make next by all means!
