Hi,
First of all I just want to say that I don't play online at all. But I do
play offline a lot, and vs my friends occasionally. I also enjoy watching
replays and it seems like GLA is by far the most powerful faction in
Generals/ZH. When I play vs the computer GLA also gives me the best
opposition. Why? As I see it, GLA's units are too cheap compared to their
effectivness. Example: a 900$ rocket buggy can destroy a 2000$ Overlord tank
with 1200$ gatling gun upgrade, too keep this overlord alive you need either
a 800$ ECM tank or a 1000$ airfield with atleast one 1200$ Mig.

GLA neither has or need support units like the ECM tank or
aircraft/helicopters, which saves them a lot of money to be spent on even
more fighting vehicles. It seems like GLA can survive by solely using three
kinds of units in great numbers: scorpions, quad cannons and rocket buggies.
These units provide you with everything you need to a low cost. Two of these
units doesn't even require the palace. I don't think this is fair, and I
thought it was China that were supposed to defeat its enemies by
overwhelming numbers.

Okay, somehting has to be done - that is obvious. But what? Some of my first
thoughts were adjumustments in cost and production times for GLA. However, I
think that GLA's units are supposed to be cheap, so this sure is a tricky
question. Maybe a large part of the problem lies with the other two
factions? The Battlemaster really needs some help, it's not a good tank
right now, I think it should cost 700$ and be produced faster with slightly
increased armor protection. That would probably help a lot. As for the quad
cannon, that vehicle must be made less effective vs buildings, and that gun
and the whole vehicle itself should turn around much more slowly. The
scorpion rocket upgrade is very effective and it must cost more money and
time to buy it.

I have more ideas, but this has become a little too much text already. I'm
looking forward to your feedback.
