Command & Conquer: Generals USA 4 "Black Gold" mission walkthrough. Learn how to destroy the GLA Terrorist Radio Station, secure Oil Derricks, and defeat the northwest GLA Base.
Walkthrough
- 1Start by building your base. Use Pathfinders to detect and Dozers to clear Booby Traps on Tech Structures. Capture all Oil Derricks for income. Position Pathfinders in towers near bridges and build Patriots for defense, especially on the northernmost bridge.
- 2Defend against incoming Yellow GLA suicide bombers from the north. Destroy the radio tower in the northern village using an attack force of Rangers (to clear garrisons), Tomahawks (to target the tower), Pathfinders (to eliminate infantry), and other armor (to destroy Car Bombs and Bomb Trucks).
- 3Advance west. Capture any Tech Structures, clearing Booby Traps. Establish a new base. Use an Air Strike on Jarmen Kell, who guards the derricks near the tower. Capture Artillery Platforms for additional defense and build more Patriots and Pathfinders.
- 4Locate the 3 GLA agents positioned on the map: one south of the north village, one east of the north village, and one in the southwest corner accessible from the Oil Derrick area. These agents are powerful allies.
- 5The western path to the GLA Base is heavily trapped with Demo Traps. Clear this area carefully before ambushing the GLA with your full battle force.
- 6If the GLA builds a SCUD Storm, immediately rush their base or use Air Strikes.
- 7The mission is complete once all non-defensive GLA structures are destroyed.
Tips
- Oil Derricks are the primary source of income; prioritize capturing and defending them.
- Defense is crucial due to frequent attacks and suicide bombers.
- Be wary of the northwest GLA Base potentially building a SCUD Storm.
- Pathfinders are essential for detecting Booby Traps and engaging infantry.
- Agents, similar to Col. Burton but without stealth, are powerful units available in this mission.
