================
1 Did You Know?
===============
* = it is already mentioned in the Unit Information sections. Just a reminder.

1. When 4 or more MiGs attack air units and create Firestorm, the Firestorm will be created on the ground, damaging the ground units.
2. Black Lotus can not disable transport with units inside.
3. SCUD Storm can be ordered to launch some of its missiles. Activate your SCUD
SW to attack, wait till all missiles are erected, ready for launch, and when one of those nine missiles are already in flight, press "S" key, and the others will abort launching. Discovered by DreamChaser.Useful for confusing your enemy:).
4. Ambulance can also repair ground vehicles and drones.*
5. If your Hole Worker gets killed but you need to rebuild the building quickly, impatient of waiting the next Hole Worker to pop up, just order your common
Worker rebuild the building. Only works if your Hole Worker has somehow built the building in progress.When the Hole worker appears again, he will just watch and disappears when the building is complete.
6. Emergency Repair General Power does not to work on units influenced by Enthusiasm. Perhaps I am wrong, but I always tried and got the same result.
7. A Demolition General Rebel can be ordered to commit suicide without having
a Demolition upgrade. First, select a Demolition Gen. Worker and then select a Demolition Gen. Rebel. The Suicide command is on then. Click it, and your Rebel dies! Suicide attack? Unfortunately not, just a stupid suicide...
Meaningless....
8.  AI Missile Defender never activates its Laser Missile Attack, but he always fires as fast and as long as if he activates his Laser Missile Attack.
9. You can activate a General Power from a Command Center of different faction which has the same General Power. For example, you can activate an Air
Force General A10 Thundebolt Missile Strike Level 1 from Laser General
Command Center. However, it will not work on different General Powers though they share the same characteristics, i.e. activating an Infantry
General Carpet Bombing from Nuke General Command Center.
10. When you are playing US ZH Mission 5, try to build Dr. Thrax's Command
Center. This will let you choose choose between Rebel ambush (activated through GLA renegade Command Center) or Toxin Rebel ambush (activated through Dr. Thrax's Command Center).
11.  Hijacker can hijack a Combat Cycle.
12. The best offensive units against Prince Kassad computer hard mode is
Battle Bus loaded with RPG Troopers. Put your loaded Battle Bus in a bottle neck area, or in his base, and let it be hijacked by enemy hijacker.
The Battle Bus will change owner, but not the passengers. Never tested on other units such as Assault Troop Crawler or Humvee, but theoretically it will work on those units as well.
