General Juhziz is the GLA demolition general in Zero Hour. He gets cheap Demo Traps and Bomb Trucks, Combat Cycles with Terrorists aboard, and after an upgrade any of his units can blow itself up next to the enemy. His army has no stealth and no toxins, and almost every vehicle costs more than usual. The numbers below come from the Zero Hour INI files, version 1.04.
Who is Juhziz
His full name is Rodall Juhziz, nicknamed "Demo". According to his bio card he is 36 and commands the Scorpion cell of the Global Liberation Army. His rank and base are not given.
His tactics on the card: explosives and bombs. He wires up everything he can and relies on powerful charges where the other GLA generals rely on toxins or invisibility.
How Juhziz's army differs from GLA
His features on the general card: the Advanced Demo Trap, the Suicide Bomb upgrade, Terrorists that deal more damage, Booby Traps from the start, Combat Cycles that come with a Terrorist, cheaper Bomb Trucks, and not a single camouflaged unit.
Compared using the Zero Hour 1.04 files:
| Unit or building | Juhziz | Regular GLA | What changed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Advanced Demo Trap | 200, 3 s | Demo Trap: 400, 5 s | half the price, faster to build |
| Bomb Truck | 1000 | 1200 | −200 |
| Terrorist | 200, own armor type | 200, standard infantry armor | stronger blast per the general card |
| All units and defenses | self-destruct charge in the files | none | detonate on command after the upgrade |
| Combat Cycle | 550, 5 s | 500, 4 s | +50, comes with a Terrorist |
| Battle Bus | 1200 | 1000 | +200 |
| Toxin Tractor | 750 | 600 | +150 |
| Rocket Buggy | 1000 | 900 | +100 |
| Marauder Tank | 900 | 800 | +100 |
| SCUD Launcher | high-explosive missiles only, 300 / 350, up to 400 / 450 | high-explosive or toxin | no toxin warheads |
The self-destruct row is the one that stands out. In Juhziz's files every unit, from the Worker to the Marauder, and even tunnels and Stinger Sites, carries a Terrorist charge. After the Suicide Bomb upgrade any of them explodes on your order.
Strengths
- At 200 a Demo Trap can be placed by the dozen, turning the paths to your base into minefields.
- Bomb Trucks are cheaper: a wave of three costs 3000 instead of 3600.
- Any unit, even a badly damaged one, can blow itself up next to the enemy and take it along.
- Combat Cycles with Terrorists race to enemy tanks and SCUDs quickly.
Weaknesses
- No stealth. Invisibility ambushes like Kassad's are off the table.
- No toxins: his SCUD is explosive only and weaker than Thrax's against garrisoned infantry.
- Almost every vehicle costs 50–200 more.
- A self-destructing army burns out fast. If an attack fails to break the defenses, rebuilding is expensive.
Other GLA generals: Dr. Thrax with toxins and Prince Kassad with camouflage. Faction-wide numbers are on the GLA units page.
Playing Juhziz on a phone
On a phone the demolition general plays with fast, targeted strikes:
- Combat Cycles with Terrorists in group "1". A tap on an empty slot in the left-hand bar saves the selection.
- Bomb Trucks in "2"; send them with a tap straight on the target building.
- The main force of Marauders and RPG Troopers in "3".
Demo Traps are placed by a Worker: tap the Worker, tap the trap button, tap a spot on the map. If you tapped the wrong spot, a long press of about 0.6 seconds cancels the construction. A double tap on a group slot moves the camera to that squad, which helps when a truck is already closing in on its target. All gestures are on the controls page.
