Structures (3)

Learn about the unique structures in Command & Conquer: Generals. This guide covers building mechanics, power requirements, and strategic placement for USA, China, and GLA factions.

Command & Conquer: Generals introduces a distinct approach to base building compared to previous titles in the series. Unlike the instant deployment of prefabricated structures in the Tiberium and Red Alert games, Generals requires dedicated 'builder' units to construct all buildings. This adds a layer of strategic planning to base expansion, as builders must be protected and managed effectively. Power is also a crucial element, with structures requiring a steady supply of energy to function optimally. Neglecting power generation can leave your base vulnerable and your units less effective. Each of the three factions – the United States of America, the People's Republic of China, and the Global Liberation Army – features unique structures that reflect their distinct technological capabilities and combat doctrines.

Structures covered in this guide:

• USA Structures: Focus on advanced technology, aerial support, and defensive capabilities.
• China Structures: Emphasize heavy armor, overwhelming firepower, and robust defenses.
• GLA Structures: Highlight guerrilla tactics, unconventional warfare, and resourcefulness.
