In the end, all fall before me.
- Leang

General "Tigress" Leiong Leang[1] is a Chinese Class AAAA Dragon General stationed close to Tibet.

Background[]

As a member of the PLA's Elite Forces, Leang is a flexible commander, leading a mixed military force that brings together the best infantry, vehicles, defensive structures and special forces operatives from the entire world. Her arsenal includes American troops, Chinese tanks, GLA guerillas and superweapons from all factions. She also has access to all three hero units.

General Leang is stationed at the Tiger's Lair, "somewhere near the China / Tibet border".

Arsenal[]

General Leang has a unique army drawn from all factions. Superweapons double as tech centers (the equivalent of Palace, strategy center and propaganda center) for the purposes of training advanced units.

General's Challenge[]

Main Article: Boss General Challenge

Suicide is not a tactic, General.
- Leang talking in better position

Leang's main base looks formidible, but it is more vulnerable than it appears at first glance. Her base consumes massive amounts of power for defenses and superweapons, the supply for which comes from power plants to the right of the deep ravine. The only apparent entrance to her base, a large bridge, is extremely intimidating, but another entrance to her base also exists under the bridge, leading to a supply dock behind the poorly guarded main entrance.

There are strategies in defeating Leang, such as fighting fire with fire, building superweapons of one's own and targeting large groups of power plants, or targeting concentrations of her units. One of the first encounters with her army will be rocket buggy attack across the eastern bridge. Later, Overlord-led land attacks will come across the northern bridges. Her general's powers should be feared, as she will use a Sneak Attack near the player's starting supply dock eventually or after constructing their tech structure equivalent (Propaganda Center/Palace/Strategy Center). The player should anticipate repeatedly rebuilding base structures and have a force that can react to internal threats. Leang should be defeated as fast as possible, since she will use Carpet Bombings and Artillery Barrages against the player if the fight takes too long, while being able to send wave after wave of units that will overwhelm the player's defenses.

Given the limited amount of land available in the player's starting location, it is advisable to rely on a superweapon-focused strategy. It is eventually necessary to expand supply-gathering operations to the mountainous land east across the bridge, which will result in a widely dispersed base that is difficult to defend and awkward to use.

Although arrogant and convinced of her enormous strength and advantages, General Leang is not above humility upon defeat. Unlike most Generals in Challenge Mode (and just like the AI players in Skirmish Mode), she will surrender to the player after destroying all her logistical and production buildings (like the Barracks, War Factory, air field, etc...), so these count as high-priority targets for the player to destroy, along with the Command Center (which allows Leang to send Sneak Attacks, and normal fully-leveled Chinese special powers, and rebuild her base) and her superweapons (which counts as tech-centers, allowing the production of powerful units, like Avengers, Overlords, and all of the heroes on every faction.)

Her superweapons, although intimidating, suffer strategic fatal flaw: they rely on special structures located outside her main base perimeter, and destroying or taking over one of them will reset the timer for all her superweapons. This applies to even the GLA Generals, who can do so with Rebel Ambush.

The countdown timer of superweapons differ on each difficulty: it is 12 minutes on Hard, 30 minutes on Medium, and 1 hour on Easy.

Trivia[]

  • After defeating General Ta Hun Kwai, he states that the "Tigress" (Leang) will crush the general like an insect. This is the only hint in the game of her existence.
  • Leang does not seem to use the highly specialized units and structures of faction generals, other than Granger's King Raptor, for unknown reasons.
  • Even in the latest version of the game, Leang's units seem to be missing fixes and changes from 1.3 update. Her Avengers are still affected by Composite Armor, America vehicles lack upgrade icon for Hellfire Drone, Sentry Drone isn't affected by Drone Armor, etc.
