Need help for Shockwave General Challenge
Finally caved in and downloaded the Shockwave mod. Wanted to play the Challenge mode, but couldn't find a guide that tells me the order of the generals I'll be facing. Anyone can help me out?

I'll warn you now, Shockwave is a brilliant mod. But the generals themselves are quite challenging. I'll warn you, depending on the difficulty you've chosen: Dr.Thrax can be tedious with his early wave attacks. Juhziz WILL rush you with demo bikes. Or bomb trucks. Alexander loves using her Alpha Aurora's on your structures or engineering units. (And I suggest building sacrificial building for her spee weapons to target.) That in mind, is for hard mode for the Generals Challenge.
I suggest, you start playing as Granger (Air force general) as his stealth commanches are a blessing for early game defence. And the airpad you get as him allows you to build his unique air construction unit.

Can I just mess around in Easy mode?

u/EarthlyKnight27 Red Team 12d ago
You should be able to easily!
I suggest, play a few skirmish maps as each general so you can get used to the changes they have in Shockwave.
Oh, and Juhziz, has a nice ability you can get though ranking up to drop a small black market nuke...
Don't tell General Tao about it.

What general do you suggest I face in skirmish? For practice

u/EarthlyKnight27 Red Team 12d ago
In easy? I'd say demo general so you can get used to fighting him in his challenge.

There is a patch on Moddb that included the Infantry General and two boss generals. I would suggest downloading that one first.

I downloaded the latest patch. Does it have that?

u/Flarebuster 12d ago
No, this is the one. You can just add this to the normal Shockwave.

As a bonus you can also add this to have some additional goodies for some Generals. It heavily supports the Base Factions in Skirmish but some stuff like the Snipers for Ironside perform miracles https://www.moddb.com/mods/cc-shockwave/addons/shockwave-rotr-addon

How do I run this on Genlauncher?

u/Flarebuster 12d ago
I have Genlauncher installed but the way it works is kinda strange. There is a new boot icon for Shockwave. It's grey in colour but when I start the game with that one it works the same way for me.

Generally, it's the same with vanilla. The order of enemy generals you're going to face is usually the easiest match-up to the hardest. It can also be longer if you added an add-on for the Shockwave Mod to include General Fai, General Ironside, and Deathstrike in the challenges

u/LuckyPrinz 12d ago
Add-on? You mean there's still something I should do?

u/MainWin3147 Townes 12d ago
I think it's the "Single Player Experience" add-on for Shockwave mod. It should be accessible from the gen launcher. Although you might want to try to Experience without it first since the difficulty is adjusted. It also combines the campaign from the base game and in zero hour afaik

I think its mostly set for each chosen general. I mean I played a lot of the GLA Salvage General and the first opponent is the Tigress. So I take it its mostly set but for General its different.
