generals is a great game, i cant really speak about how much it changed from the previous games as this was my first basically, dad played command and conquer and i continued. What i like about generals is honestly the art design just takes the game to such a higher level, something about this era of warfare is very interesting to me because its was an evolution of warfare, and this game really captures that.

you have China, GLA which is middle eastern forces, and USA, all of which have bonuses and weakness. for example the GLA forces do not require power, and save a tremendous amount of money by getting upgrades from enemy tank wrecks, and building power substation to maintain defenses. the problem, is theyre weaker, and realy on hit and run attack or something to surprise the enemy. China and USA use power to maintain defenses but must bide their time till they achieve tech dominance over GLA.

i really recommend finding a way to play this game, its prob pretty cheap online for a real copy. and it doesnt interact with windows 10 that well
