Can you Beat Command and Conquer Generals Deathless?

My favourite of the three Command and Conquer series Generals has the perfect blend of realistic grounded combat and the signature Command and Conquer Charm. Can I beat it without losing a unit though?
This game has some curveballs in what constitutes a unit but I think my rules and compromises fit well. Lets see how it goes.

It's sad to hear that rappelling into a building from a helicopter is useless, because that did look really cool.

[th_kd]

USA Bulldozer be like
"Ill build anywhere"
"sorry i cant build there"

[micuu]

Ah yes, the secret fourth faction: TRAIN

[lolreadthis]

I haven't finished the video yet.
But Generals with its clunky tanks and chockepoint maps has never been a game i considered doing deathless.
respect.

[mrvex]

Angry mobs will forever be a unit that will never be forgotten, its both hilarious and funny and the jank behind this unit is just immense.
Strayed too far from the mob ? You die
Reinforcing the mob ? You die

Recently i have been replaying the old campaigns, but with Rise of The Reds mod (there is a fan made addon that lets you play the OG campaigns) and that, even with deaths allowed on second difficulty makes this challenge look actually easy to try...

[Knight]

It's wild to me that Generals doesn't get nearly the same amount of love as Tiberium. It's such a cool game. Thanks for making a video on it!

Guilty.
I quote a lot of units from Generals all the time...
When I get frustrated, I start putting on the Quad Cannon voice and quotes...

[redwings]

I find it hilarious that the best way to beat this game deathless is to send a bunch of angry mobs to their deaths. TECHNICALLY DEATHLESS! Kind of!

Also lol that train company is dedicated! Rain, shine, or nuclear infested warzone, our trains ALWAYS run on time!

[rebornpheonix]

About the CHINA 4, the Stinger Sites are unrelated to the 3 deaths. The mission itself kills the units in the end because there is no airport and once they fire their missiles, they get shot down. Nothing you can do.

[zzzz]

youtube showing me a game i havent thought of in 20 years

[Dafuqinator]

I didn't even expect this game could be done deathless, but you proved me wrong.

Now do Zero Hour. That's sure to be a fun and relaxing experience. :)

[mischaprudon]

Also since your doing deathless here is a trick in the zero hour gla campaign you have the mission where you steal toxins form the Usa and with 2 strike teams on each side of the map.

During this mission you need to capture some tommahawks to take out some patriots, but when you do a raptor strike destroys the tomahawks.

Fun fact if you tell your tommahawk to enter the transport ferry it just drives across the mountain inside it.

So as soon as you aluxnh the final tommahawk tell the tommahawk to enter the ferry and the raptors will fly around for a minute or 2 and back off and land at their airfield.

Which you can then capture and get 4 free raptors.

Thus not losing a unit, hope this helps.

The battleship thing is actually 'realistic' ircc, I think C&C Generals is a parody of the Gulf war where a US battleship did provide bombardments I recall, not all were decommissioned yet. So the game just took that fact and dialed it up to 11 with the WW2 style beach landing XD

[robertbarrows]

Man, that train REALLY hates your units!

[ximbabwe]

I love how you start GLA mission 1 with $53

[crazyguy]

I played Tiberium, I played Red Alert. This is the RTS I never knew I needed until now.

[cptshelly]

Little did he know there was another main character, other than "Mr Dam". The true main character, Thomas the tank engine

[Blundabus]

Generals Zero Hour is not just the greatest RTS, but the greatest game of all time.

Period.

You basically have a choice between 12 factions, physics matter, hills actually block shots... you can control more than 12 units unlike how it worked in starcraft.

Hell, you could have wars of thousands of units fighting each other like its Supreme commander with its infinite money generating units/buildings.

[marley]

worth noting the battleship thing the usa is the nation that to my knowledge appreicates the concept of naval support guns most and activley wants to do it just hasn't come up very often

This game was a case of really, really weird early 2000s German censorship. A lot of C&C games from that time where changed into every unit actually just being robots, but this was the first game the voice modulation really became a problem. All units have a warble effect applied, which combines terribly with the arab and chinese accents and makes some cutscenes downright impossible to parse. And in Zero Hour, all the Generals received changed portraits that made them into robots.
