Guide to Command & Conquer: Generals China Mission 3, 'A Flood Of Violence.' Learn how to destroy the dam, establish your base, and defeat the GLA forces.
Alright, let's tackle China Mission 3, 'A Flood Of Violence.' This one's set at the Three Gorges Dam, and it's a medium difficulty mission that's pretty fun. The GLA has decided to invade this vital Chinese location, and things are looking grim – they've already assaulted a base, and our forces are in full retreat. Your main goal here is to hold them off long enough to rebuild, and the key to that is destroying the dam itself. This mission also introduces you to some cool new units: the stealthy Black Lotus, the versatile Troop Crawlers, and the powerful MIGs.
- 1You start near the Three Gorges Dam. The GLA is already attacking, and your priority is to buy time. Select your General's powers: Artillery Barrage, Cluster Mines, and Emergency Repair will be your go-to abilities.
- 2For now, get your Tank Hunters into that Bunker for some defense. Have your Dozer start building a Command Center to establish your base. Send Black Lotus out to explore the western part of the map – she's great for scouting. The rest of your initial troops should focus fire on the Dam.
- 3Once the Dam is destroyed, it'll cause a massive flood, taking out the bridge and a good chunk of the GLA's base down below. This is your first major victory.
- 4As the water recedes, you'll notice units can now cross the dried-up riverbed. Keep Black Lotus exploring, and she'll discover some crucial tech buildings in the northwestern corner. Have her capture these, along with any nearby Dozers.
- 5Use these captured Dozers to finish building out your main base. Don't forget to set up defenses along the new 'passage' where the bridge used to be – the GLA will try to push through here.
- 6Now it's time to build up your air power. Construct Airfields and fill them with MIGs. These will be essential for softening up the GLA forces. Also, strategically place some Cluster Mines near the point where you see three Scorpion Tanks – this will be a nasty surprise for them.
- 7Once the water level is low enough, the GLA will be trapped in the lower area. This is your cue to strike! Use your MIGs for constant bombing runs on their base while your ground troops push through the main entrance.
- 8Remember, the GLA's supply source is located away from their main base. If you can cut them off from their supplies, you'll cripple their ability to reinforce and rebuild, making your final assault much easier.
- Aircraft are your best friend in this mission. Use MIGs to constantly harass the GLA base and take out their units before they can mass effectively.
- Don't underestimate the power of Black Lotus's stealth. Use her to scout ahead, identify key targets, and capture valuable tech buildings without alerting the enemy.
- Setting up Cluster Mines at choke points, especially where you know the enemy will mass, can devastate their forces and save you a lot of trouble.
- Cutting off the GLA's supply lines is a high-priority secondary objective that can significantly weaken them for the final push.
