INTRODUCTION
The Story So Far
In
Command & Conquer™ Generals
, the world stands in a state
of peace, but storm clouds are brewing. An organization that
calls itself the Global Liberation Army, or GLA, has established a
series of strongholds in Central Asia. Because these strongholds
exist in the sphere of influence of several countries, the Security
Council has had extreme difficulty setting up any sort of mean-
ingful discussion with the group. Worse, the GLA has recently
crept over the borders into western China, looking to set up its
own independent nation. Its sources of funding and leadership
are unknown, adding to the confusion.
For China, this is nothing but bad news. The GLA opposes
recent reforms in China and stands poised to block them at
every possible opportunity. However, the Chinese government in
Beijing has stood resolute, which led to the recent attacks by the
GLA on the Chinese military depot at Yecheng. The GLA stole
thousands of rounds of ammunition and destroyed a nuclear
power plant, causing dangerous radiation levels as far as 100
kilometers away from the site. The Chinese government is furi-
ous and has allowed the Security Council to step in as mediators
between them and the rebel GLA.
The United States would seem to be a natural source of
information and manpower against the threat, but has been sit-
ting on the fence regarding this matter. Recent Security Council
failures to back American actions in the Middle East to prevent
terrorism are still fresh in the mind of America; hence the super-
power has remained on the sidelines, offering only orbital recon
to assist the Security Council effort. Meanwhile, U.S. forces have
remained on high alert.
And here the situation stood until the GLA forced its hand,
attacking both Chinese and American targets. The world stands
at the brink of war, with both the Chinese and American forces
looking to maintain the status quo, while the GLA hopes to over-
turn the current balance of power in their own favor.
The Americans enjoy the luxury of high-tech prowess and an
unmatched air force. The Chinese can muster more troops and
vehicles into battle than any other army in the world, and can
use this force to overwhelm enemies. Meanwhile, the GLA lacks
manpower and technical savvy, but has stealth, guile, and an
ability to strike from the shadows. Your position in this coming
war is at the head of one of these three armies. Your success
leads to promotions and the possibility to use newer and more
powerful technologies. Failure means the destruction of your
cause.
The
Zero Hour
expansion picks up where the first game
ends, with the defeat of the GLA. In the new missions, the U.S.
military moves to destroy a remnant GLA general known only as
Dr. Thrax, pursuing him across the desert to rid the world of his
toxins. The GLA campaign picks up with the death of Dr. Thrax
and the resurgence of the GLA as they attempt to push the
Americans off the European continent for good. The Chinese
pick up from there, crushing the GLA just as they celebrate their
victory over the U.S.
How to Use This Guide
This guide is divided into two main sections. In the first, you will
learn about the units, abilities, and structures of
Command &
Conquer: Generals™
. Further, it highlights important strategic ele-
ments in the game, takes you through the basics of playing, and
walks you through all of the different campaign scenarios, from
the basic training mission to the final battle, for each of the three
armies.
In the second part, this guide includes information on all of
the new units, structures, upgrades, and Generals Abilities found
in the
Zero Hour
expansion. Each of the three
Zero Hour
cam-
paigns is covered from start to finish, with tips for getting the
most out of your units. Finally, notes on the new Generals
Challenge mode, the special units available to the Generals, and
tips on defeating each General on his or her home territory are
provided, giving you the best possible chance to dominate on
land and in the air.
This guide does not contain every possible strategy for every
battle you might face. There are too many variables in a game of
this scope and magnitude for one guide to handle every conceiv-
able situation in every scenario. Instead, we provide possible
strategies that have been proven to work, as well as paths that
take you from the beginning of a mission to its successful com-
pletion.
You will undoubtedly come up with strategies on your own
that will work for you. In fact, some of the strategies you devise
may be easier or more effective for you. Everyone has their own
style and preferences. You may find units that you can’t live with-
out in situations where this book makes no mention of them.
That’s fine, and it’s to be expected.
Good luck! A whole world of battle awaits you!
