i got this idea after plaing as a commander a few times in a row and some guy kept saying "Blizzerd, the singing general" because i won game after game as comm and when im happy/winning i sometimes spontaneously sing out loud (and they apparently noticed when i used mic to talk) anyone who played c&c generals zero hour will know what i mean by this we fill in the "General" form template and add a picture as if empiresmod is c&c generals zero hour and we are the generals (as commander) :p why? giggles and fun, but mostly because you can tell something about how you command in a cool way general pictures (if you dont want to include a picture of yourself) NOTE: please, dont make yourself a general that uses stupid strategies or impossible things, this will only remain interesting if its heavily based on how you REALLY command, although exaggerating a small bit is fine i guess about what you talk as general however is up to you the template is only for people with bad inspiration Edit: I like the idea of this thread therefore I deleted all off topic posts ~Brutos

My entry General "Singing General" Blizzerd Personal: This general is often seen on the battlefield as an engineer or rifleman when not in command, providing support to his squad, as a driver he prefers engineer with repair upgrade as to "repair" his way trough minefields Faction: Although seen commanding as a mercenary for the Bertonian empire on occasion, he prefers the Northern Faction by far Command Style: Rush and overwhelm Infantry General Will try to overwhelm the enemy by letting his troops attack on a lot of different fronts early game by infantry, or by making them gang up on single targets with cheap fast tanks Note: this general will often lock the vehicle factory early game and then mass produce his own flavour of very cheap tanks/apcs to overwhelm the enemy while bigger and more costly late game tanks are researched favourite research tree's: psychics and electric, although bio is often used late game to supplement heavy tanks Favourite chassis: APC Army composition: General Blizzerd's army is mainly composed of fast attack apc's combined with infantry attacks by adv personnel deployment, sometimes they are full plain apc's with only DU equipped, just to maintain the moment of surprise and early domination Note: this general often has a ticket problem late game, if he does not get the map domination early game he often tends to run out of tickets
General "Spam Deploy" OuNin/ostolero Personal: Among the greatest squad leaders among the ranks of both Jekotian and Brenodi armed forces. Experienced saboteur and corpsman. Faction: Brenodi Empire/Mercenary Command Style: Appear everywhere Favourite research tree's: Physics/Chemistry, Mechanical Favourite chassis: APCs Army composition: High-speed APC swarms deploying teams of commandos. Note: Usually more effective on the field, leading a squad.
General "MOAB" pickled_heretic General pickled_heretic seen leading an amphibious assault on Brenodi forces at tropic vendetta Personal: A relative newcomer to the Northern Faction, pickled_heretic has proven his capability as a tank commander and infantryman. Seeking to prove himself on the final frontier of Empires, Gen. pickled_heretic has upset the balance of the war with his decisive strategies and keen sense of observation. Faction: Northern Faction Command Style:An impetuous leader hellbent on victory at all costs. Respected for his combat prowess in a tank and feared for his bouts of uncontrollable rage when things start going south. Favourite research trees: Any research giving speed and initiative to his armored batallions, including electric (3 phase) and physics (fission reactor). Favourite chassis: light tanks, AFVs Army composition: engineers and riflemen rushing in jeeps and light armor, bases have minimal defenses, forces focus primarily on offensive deployments and tactics. No APCs, tanks only. Note: Extreme NF genetic manipulation has caused pickled_heretic to turn into a bear. Also, MOAB = Mother of All Badasses.
Personal: He's a pretty cool guy and he doesn't afraid of anything. Has been known to stickystun heavies, jump on top of them and taunt the drivers. Faction: BE Command Style: A very angry commander when shit doesn't get done, but a very nice fellow all-round if the team is working together and following orders. Has been known to try to ninja over 8 times in a single game, and fail miserably every time, but he's a tenacious fucker who won't give ground until he's smeared all over the ground. Favourite research tree's: Chemical. All the way. Favourite chassis: BE Med Army composition: Brenodian Medium tanks with 8 balls, flames and killer decals. Note: Warning, improper use of Empty may result in victory, at the cost of several hundred tickets.
General "The Ear" Cloud Personal: A rookie commander who hates his job, he's rather clueless and gets ordered around by his team. He prefers fighting on the frontlines as an engineer. Faction: Neutral Command Style: He listens to his team and just does whatever they tell him to. Favourite research tree's: Physics. Favourite chassis: JEEPs, no seriously, jeeps. Army composition: They ride whatever they wish to ride, and play whiechever class they wish to. They also travel wherever they wish to and make lulzforts if they feel like it. Note: He dislikes commanding, so i try to avoid it. And he also sucks at it.
General: "Faceless One" Aeoneth Faction: Any Command Style: Tries some rather unorthodox tactics with small relatively inexperienced teams. Usually pays for it anally, but sometimes gets lucky and crushes all opposition. When a team kicks him out hes either building stuctures or getting headshot. Hence why he is "faceless". Fav Trees: whatever he thinks will work Fav chassis: APCs and LT/AFVs (MkI not Mk II) Army composition: Mostly grens w/ adv rpg and LTs Note: Due to a string of losses (humiliating ones at that) he's temporarily banned from comming on the ELC/anywhere
General "Flaming" Kane Personal: This general is often seen as engeneer while wasting tickets, if not commanding he still feels responsible for his commanders command style and tends to flame unsuccessfull commanders Faction: Mercenary, payment: Cookies or cake Command Style: Raxspam Tries to force his troops to rush the enemy bases, leading to high ticket loss, but a fast spread of bases over the whole map Note: This general however tries to controll single units and uses move/attack order spam for success favourite research tree's: Chemistry and Physics Favourite chassis: APC Army composition: It`s very uncommon to see med chassis on the battlefield while this general is commanding anyway he rarly gives orders relating to weapon layouts but tries to order vehicledriver to best locations Note: The flaming general likes tactics with upg. grenade launchers, plasma MG and other explosives like dual HE heavys too much, also needs often a reminder that reseach have to be done
General "DevHax" Kylegar Personal: Travels the land on magical clouds with 'DEVELOPER' scribbled on cardboard taped onto the sides. Is absolutely fabulous. Faction: There is no faction to describe this general Command Style: I Dont Know What I'm Doing I Just Press Buttons LOL. Favourite research tree's: lol research, what is that? Favourite chassis: BE Transport Army composition: There is like 10 people, and noone really has a clue whats going on. Note: We have secrit forums too!
General "Jeff-fear" Jephir (it's actually pronounced Jeff-fear, please do so. do not say Jeff-furr unless you are in Jeep clan) Personal: This general is often seen commanding because he doesn't trust anyone else to. Except maybe HSM. Faction: Both, but prefers Brenodi because they actually look like an army, unlike NF. Command Style: Sit back and let the team do everything. Never move the comm vehicle. Offensive comming is a failure on the commander's part. Spam targets every 5 seconds to everyone on the team. Even if they don't want it. Intricately place turrets in optimal firing positions with MGs always in front of MLs. Max out wall limit on tank traps. (Note this tank trap design is copyrighted, trademarked, and patent pending by Jephir) Yell at teammates for getting stuck in tank traps. Favourite research tree's: APD > Reflective > Fission / Gas Turbine > Bio MG > Bio ML > MK IIs Favourite chassis: NF MK IIs, or BE Medium Army composition: Whatever the team decides to build. Which is usually jeeps Note: Vote Jephir.
General "Skybox" Lazydog Personal: Often found on the field as a medic running around reviving dead soldiers. while commanding, can often be found stuck on the skybox unable to move Faction: Auto Assign Command Style: Usually tries to take an early lead in territory by commanding all units to charge relentlessly to the front. While good at giving research, he is susceptible to ninja attacks. Favourite research tree's: physics Favourite chassis: BE medium tanks Army composition: one can often expect BE medium tanks on the field with ranged cannons and reflective armor. Note: commander drive around the main base should the enemy breach the front lines. Only way to calm him down is to drive the enemy back out and re-secure the lines.
Personal: Has a deep voice(?) Faction: NF Command Style: Usually makes detailed plans like "go north", "kill the enemy". Tries to help the team as much as possible, to the fact where he sounds like a retard. Also tends to fuckaround a lot. Favourite research tree's: Nukes. Favourite chassis: NF LTs. But AFVs against infantry. Army composition: Will often do the unexpected. Note: Hates trees.
General "Napoleon" fnoneninetyeight Personal: plays empires to feel good at something fml Faction: Brenodi Empire Command Style: find vulnerabilities and exploit them Favourite research tree's: ER, and HE Favourite chassis: imperial command vehicle Army composition: mechanized infantry Note: has a higher apm than any other commander in empires
