=============
3 Tips and Tricks
=============

Kill a hiding Jarmen Kell
Jarmen Kell, when occupying a building, can be ungarrisonned with ease by using stealth infantry that can not detect stealth units, i.e. rebel, Burton.
Spot the buiding where an enemy  Jarmen Kell is hiding by using stealth detector, then withdraw the detector so the  building is "flagless" again. Then order a stealth infantry which is not a detector, to enter the building. When he is in, move the detector nearby to detect the hostile Jarmen Kell. You will see enemy Jarmen
Kell sneaking out of the building, making him an easy prey.

Stealthy Offensive Defense
Cloaking Offensive Defense: Playing as Prince Kassad will give you this advantage because of two things: the innate cloaking ability owned by his Tunnel Network,
Stinger Site, and Demo Trap, and the second is the GPS Scrambler General
Power early advantage. The first thing is to get promoted as soon as possible.
When you are already a 3-star general, gather some of your workers in an area, cast GPS Scrambler on them. If those workers successfully infiltrate enemy base, they can wreak havoc enemy base by building Tunnel Network, Stinger Site, and
Demo Trap there.
1. Using Stinger Site: Well, no more explanation.
2. Using Tunnel Network: a lot of RPG Troopers and Tunnel Network and probably reinforcements from your base will throw chaos in the enemy base.
3. Using Demo Trap: build a Demo Trap somewhere. However, if you wanna blow a building using it, you must quickly activate its manual detonation once it is completely built. When you have finished building some, order them to explode together. DO NOT explode it once it is finished being built. An explosion will lure enemy to scan the area, and your workers will scream, "Hei, it's not me that you want!" or "I'm innocent", etc, etc.

Additonal Upgrades
Some factions have special upgrades that may benefit others. For example,
Tank General's Battlemasters may gain advantage from Patriotism (Infantry General),
Demo General's Rebels can be stealthed by researching Camouflage (Standard
GLA Palace).  Refer to Unit Information for upgrades that are not available in a faction but may benefit its units. It is marked with a ~.
For example, let's see the statistics below. It describes a Demo General
Scorpion.

Upgrade Information
- Scorpion Rocket (Arms Dealer): Installs a deadly rocket on the
Scorpion
- AP Rocket (Black Market): +25% to Scorpion Rocket damage. Only works when Scorpion Rocket upgrade has been researched.
- Junk Repair (Black Market): Scorpion receives auto-repair ability.
- Demolition (Demo General Palace): Commmits suicide by exploding the hidden explosive, damaging the nearby hostile and neutral units.
~ Toxin Shell (GLA Palace): Loads Scorpion shells and the rocket with a handful doses of toxin.
~ Anthrax Beta (GLA Palace): Replaces the standard toxin with deadlier agent,
Anthrax Beta. Only works when Toxin Shells has been researched.
~ Anthrax Gamma (Toxin General Palace): Fills Scorpion's shells and rockets with Anthrax Gamma, but it is just for fun. No additional damage, compared to Anthrax Beta. Only works when the Toxin
Shells upgrade has been researched.

Commonly, a Demo Gen. player can only get Scorpion Rocket, AP Rockets,
Junk Repair, and Demolition upgrades researched. However, if (s)he can also have access to Toxin Shells (by building a Standard GLA Palace, for example,) his/her Scorpion can also benefit from this upgrade.

Free Upgrades
Building some other factions stuctures/units may also give you free upgrades. For example, building an Infantry General Barracks automatically gives you a free Nationalism upgrade. Here is the list containing units/buildings that may give you free upgrades after those units/buildings are built. Again,
BUILT, not captured.

Faction                      Building/Unit                Upgrade

Aurora Bait
Build at least 6 Aurora bombers. Choose 5 of them and make them 1 group
Let's call it Attack Group". Then elect the last Aurora and make it the second group, or "Decoy".
Send the Decoy near the enemy AA turrets and order it to attack a target located far. Before it releases its bomb, order it to attack another target. Do it repeatedly near the enemy AA. The enemy AA, if not controlled, will always target this unattackable Aurora. With the enemy AA targetting something not destined to fall, order the Attack Group to attack a real target near the firing AAs. 5 Auroras can destroy every building with ease
(Superweapon just need 4, Command Center 5, if I am not mistaken).
Better if you target the AAs so that the next attack will be easier. When the Attack Group returns safely, order the Decoy to go home by attacking something far (ensuring that it is still unattackable) and anytime you see there is no imminent threat to the decoy Aurora, order it to return to its Air Field.
Don't use this very often or your enemy will see your pattern and manually attack the Attack Group instead. Combine it with ground attack, so your enemy will have to choose wisely what to be eliminated first.

Builder Replacement
I found it in the Web, but I did not remember who found it.
You can order a Worker, for example, to build, say, an Internet Center.
How? First, order your China Dozer to build its foundation. When it shows
"Building 0%", stop your Dozer and order the Worker to continue it.
This trick, I must say frankly and honestly, is very useful in some situations.
Let's see one example:
. When you have captured an enemy Command Center of different faction and it has built the faction's builder. You need to quickly replace the
Command Center and the builder in case they are destroyed quickly.
Before capturing the Command Center, select an empty space where your original faction's builder is waiting and bookmark the place (Ctrl-F1).
Retake the enemy Command Center, build the faction's builder, select the new builder, press F1 (to return to the place you have bookmarked), and build the new faction's Command Center there. Wait till the frames of the building appears with the progress indicator ("Building 0%) then order the builder to stop and command your original faction's builder to continue.
You can save time and perhaps even save your only chance to build a different faction's Command Center.
.
Forcefully Capture Building
Use your Microwave Tanks to disable an enemy building you intend to capture.
This will disable the "Sell" command.

Disable both Building and Vehicle at the Same Time
Order your Super Hacker to disable a building. Then order him to disable an enemy vehicle. You will see that he is able to disable both at the same time.
If you order him to disable a building and before he successfully knocks the building down but in the process of doing that and then you order him to disable a vehicle, he will disable the vehicle first and then automatically continue to disable the building.

Steal Ally's Units
Some Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge's players may remember a simple trick: play as Yuri, force attack your ally's Construction Yard with Yuri Prime, and new toys are available for the thief. C&C Generals Zero Hour can also use the same trick, but only to American or Chinese ally.  Play as Standard
China, Infantry Gen., or Nuke Gen. Build Red Guard and Nuke Cannon, research Neutron Shells at the Nuclear Missile Silo, load the Nuclear Shells, force attack your ally's dozer with Nuke Cannon, claim the empty dozer, and voila....!

Discharge TNT/C4 on Units
Got your vehicles TNTed/C4ed and no Dozer/Worker nearby? If there is a transport or Tunnel Network nearby, you can "move" the explosive. Send your TNTed/C4ed units into transport or Tunnel Network. The explosive will be left behind on the transport/Tunnel Network as if it is attached on the transport/
Tunnel Network, damaging the transport/Tunnel Network. If the TNTed/C4ed unit leaves the transport/Tunnel Network before the explosive detonates, the explosive will be "carried away" again by the unit. If you put your charged unit into Tunnel Network A, evacuate it from Tunnel Network B, and order it to enter Tunnel Network B before the explosive blows up, the explosive will stick onto Tunnel Network B.

Jarmen Kell/Colonel Burton against Fire Base
You can use Jarmen Kell/Colonel Burton against an undefended Fire Base.
1. Jarmen Kell can seriously damage a Fire Base when the Fire Base is loaded with infantry.
2. Colonel Burton can deliver deadly attack on a Fire Base with his knife attack ability (This is not mine, I am still searching my database to find the FAQ publishing it, but no result found yet).
