Restoring The Cut Boss Generals (I Already Done It)
Introduction
In the world of video games, mods can breathe new life into classic titles, offering players a fresh experience and a chance to revisit beloved games. As a modder, I've had the privilege of working on a project that brings back the cut boss generals from the classic game, Command & Conquer: Generals. In this article, we'll take a closer look at the process of restoring these iconic generals and the mod itself.
The Cut Boss Generals
The cut boss generals I've chosen to restore are:
- General Ironside (USA Boss General): A legendary figure in the world of Command & Conquer, General Ironside is a highly skilled and decorated military leader.
- General Leang (China Boss General): A brilliant strategist and tactician, General Leang is a key figure in the Chinese military.
- General Mohmar 'Deathstrike' (GLA Boss General): A ruthless and cunning leader, General Mohmar is feared by his enemies and respected by his allies.
These generals were cut from the original game, but their legacy lives on in the hearts of fans. By restoring them, I aimed to give players a chance to experience the game with a new set of challenging and interesting generals.
The Mod
My mod, Generals-ZH-Mod, is a comprehensive overhaul of the original game. It includes two branches: one with vanilla balancing and one with custom balance. The vanilla branch is designed to be as faithful to the original game as possible, with only bug fixes and minor tweaks. The custom balance branch, on the other hand, offers a fresh take on the game's balance, with new unit stats and abilities.
The mod is available on GitHub, and installation is a breeze. Simply create a new copy of the game, drag and drop the mod files into the directory, and you're good to go. Alternatively, you can use GenLauncher to install the mod.
New Generals
In addition to the restored cut boss generals, I've also added a new general that combines the abilities of all three. This general, known as the "Ultimate General," is unlocked by loading a custom map. The Ultimate General is a game-changer, offering a unique set of abilities and playstyles that will challenge even the most experienced players.
Conclusion
Restoring the cut boss generals has been a labor of love, and I'm thrilled to share the result with the community. Generals-ZH-Mod offers a fresh and exciting experience for fans of the original game, with new generals, units, and gameplay mechanics. Whether you're a seasoned player or new to the series, I invite you to check out the mod and experience the game in a whole new way.
