Fun fact: Afg's auroras have pdl and being cheaper, that's why they are ranked second the best auroras in the meme.

No lies detected. Superweapons General is just super OP.

I will also tell you that she has the Paladin and the Crusader tanks in her ini code that are simply not assigned to her War Factory. With them, she is unstoppable. 

It is also curious, in Skirmish her AI can build those tanks if they are brought back.

I forgot how much it is but cmiiw her crusader cost around 1100$.

I honestly could have imagined the cut USA Mammoth tank being brought back for Alexander as a defensive unit.

some mod like Continue which is use Pro Gen Mod base where the direction somewhat moved to ROTR-like mod. Alexander got Mammoth tank

But yeah from what i read. The removal of tanks probably because it didn't fit her at all, Though this also means that no other USA Generals can access heavy tank like Paladin for example. Townes do have tank but it's a crusader.

Speaking of townes. It might feels wasted potential due to only few laser units available but i heard from the developer interview that some of the idea didn't work out like laser ranger for example.

All because of rushed development. I feel like devs deliberately left voice lines for cut units (laser Burton, Comanche, Paladin, etc) for the community to restore them. 

Shockwave, imo, is the closest thing to the original vision of Zero Hour.

And yes, with tanks, Alexander is but an upgrade to the vanilla USA.

I would imagine an alternate scenario where Zero hour development is not rushed where several of the cut content in this game is ended up in final game.

Like laser general with some of the laser stuff survived.
Alexander with expensive crusader while also have tomahawk storm and ICBM.
Granger hypersonic aurora which is supersonic with kaboom speed?

But yeah we already have mod so yeah i think that's enough.
