 Introduction Welcome to C&C Generals Zero Hour : "A GLOBAL CRISIS". This mod brings Israel and Syria (from the popular Mideast Crisis total conversion mod made by Isotx) with their full unique armies - into C&C Generals : Zero Hour expansion pack, with all of the original ZH factions, campaigns and General's challenge missions, BUT with some great new changes like realistic artwork and some new units. If you liked Zero Hour and you thought it just needed a new look – This is the mod for you. If you liked Mideast Crisis total conversion mod but you still wanted to play Zero Hour – Well, you don't have to choose anymore! A GLOBAL CRISIS – C&C Zero Hour mod made by "Abra". Special thanks to Isotx team's leader Vincent Van-Geel (known as Ome_Vince) for the permission to use his Mideast Crisis mod in A GLOBAL CRISIS. Thanks for the original MEC team and for all the good people who helped and let me used their art (see a complete credits list at the end of this document).

 Israel and Syria Israel and Syria have authentic units, graphics and voices. Some military elements were changed to create a more interesting arsenal and enhance game play and balance.

 Israel

Israel focuses on agility, speed and using the latest high tech equipment. This makes them a deadly opponent, capable of lightning fast strikes. In this mod, Israel has been modeled to fit this profile. For example, they don’t construct concrete structures, but instead, build tent facilities easily and rapidly. All vehicles and infantry are flown in. These advantages in construction speed and agility allow Israel to be very skilled at the short rush attacks. The downside is that having all of its equipment flown in takes more time than on-site training or vehicle construction, and that the tents do not afford much protection, making Israeli buildings vulnerable to attack. To counter their smaller numbers, Israel focuses on creating the most advanced army in the Middle East, choosing high quality equipment over quantity. With extensive missile abilities, such as the Cruise Missile Launcher, Israel can pinpoint targets from all over the map with deadly results. However, their arsenal is expensive, requiring a lot of time, money and effort in their manufacturing of units.



Syria

Syria has always relied on large numbers and fortified positions to be victorious in battle. They buy most of their military arsenal from Russia, acquiring inexpensive, outdated equipment. In this mod, the Syrian arsenal has been slightly adjusted to achieve a better game-play balance, thus allowing Syria to be an even deadlier force. Syrian structures are large concrete buildings, capable of withstanding a large amount of damage, giving Syria a defensive advantage. Syria must create a Supply Depot and a power generator, as Syria relies on generating enough electricity to power their structures, as well as the fact that their structures require a lot of time, materials, and large area to build them on. Once the structures are in place, infantry is trained within the facilities, and units are constructed at the factories, enabling Syria to create large armies very quickly. The Syrian units have essentially the same movement rates as Israel, though most of the equipment is outdated and no match for their Israeli counter-part. However, the SA-6 is still considered a heavy AA unit, and must not be underestimated.

 Special Army Technology (for Israel/Syria. Requires 3 star General abilities) Unlock your special technology choice by selecting it from your Generals Powers. Each side has its own choices. You must have 3 Stars Generals Abilities. Then, purchase the upgrade at your Command Center. These upgrades provide you with special new abilities or new stronger units.

Syrian General's Promotion Abilities

SU

 New Oil Refineries Tech. Building This new type of Tech Building is spread throughout the “MEC“ maps in tactically key locations. Like the normal Zero Hour Tech Oil Derricks, an Oil Refinery delivers $1000 to your funds, and produces a stream of revenue. However, at the start of the game, an Oil Refinery is indestructible. This is to encourage players to come out of their “base” and battle strategically throughout the map.

 Original C&C Generals: Zero Hour Factions – List of changes: In the mod A GLOBAL CRISIS all the original factions from C&C Generals: Zero Hour (USA, China, GLA and their sub-factions) are still in the game, with the original campaigns and Generals Challenge. Great modifications had been made though, like increased health for armor units (for balance) and especially in some units design and appearance which make them look and feel more realistic. Here is the list of changes made in the original Zero Hour factions: (Note: If it's not listed below, it stays the same as it was in the original Zero Hour).

 United States of America

USA Infantry New desert colors uniforms skins and new weapon models for the Rangers (M-16 with M203 grenade launcher) and for the Anti-Tank infantry (AT-4), new skins for Path-Finders, pilots and for Colonel Burton.

USA Vehicles

GLA Rebel New skin and new AK-47 assault rifle model.

RPG Trooper New realistic skin.

GLA Vehicles Lots of changes had been made in the GLA vehicle units; some units had been completely replaced. The changes include new T-54, T-55 and T-72 tanks models, Ferret wheeled Scorpion, AT-5 and AT-14 Technicals, New rocket launchers, and a new skin for the Scud missile launcher. In addition, the regular GLA technicals starts with 2 rebels infantry inside. These changes make the GLA Stealth and Demolition Generals more like real guerrilla groups, and make the main GLA faction and the Toxin General a bit more realistic.

T-55 Scorpion Tank This tank replaces the original Scorpion tank for the GLA main faction and for the Toxin General. It has low quality gun. It still uses the original Scorpion tank gun and missile upgrades.

T-72 Marauder Tank This tank replaces the original Marauder tank for the GLA main faction and for the Toxin General. It uses the original Marauder tank gun shells and salvage upgrades which now increase the tank's fire-rate (instead of double barrels).

Ferret wheeled Scorpion This armored vehicle replaces the original Scorpion tank for the GLA Demolition General. It still has the original Scorpion tank gun and missile upgrades.

T-54 Marauder Tank This tank replaces the original Marauder tank for the GLA Demolition General. It has an improved tank gun. It uses the original Marauder tank gun shells and salvage upgrades which now increase the tank's fire-rate (instead of double barrels).

AT-5 Technical This Anti-Tank technical replaces the toxin truck of the GLA Demolition General. It's the same as the Syrian AT-5 technical, but with a GLA dude on top.

AT-14 Technical This advanced Anti-Tank technical replaces the toxin truck of the GLA Stealth General. It's the same as the Syrian AT-14 technical, but with a GLA dude on top.

BM-21 Rocket Launcher This unit replaces the Rocket Buggy for the GLA Stealth and Toxin Generals and replaces the battle buss for the GLA Demolition General. It's the same as the Syrian BM-21, but the Stealth and Demolition Generals use conventional warheads while the Toxin General uses chemical warheads.

Frog-7 Rocket Launcher This heavy rocket launcher replaces the mobile Scud launcher for the GLA Demolition General. It's the same as the Syrian Frog-7, but has only conventional warheads.

Mobile Scud Launcher New camouflage colors skin. Now, only the main GLA faction and the GLA Toxin General can use this unit.

 China

Chinese Infantry Only minor skin changes had been made, so now all Chinese infantry units have the same uniform colors.

Chinese Vehicles Type-59 Battlemaster Mk II Tank The Chinese Tank General's upgraded Battlemaster tank with boosted reactive armor, much better against missiles and slightly better against tanks. The standard Battlemaster gets upgraded to this MkII when you research the autoloader upgrade. Only for the Tank General.

Gattling Tank A new model for the Chinese Gattling Tank. Looks way better than the standard one.

 Boss General General Leang, the Chinese Boss General from the last Generals Challenge mission, is now unlocked and can be chosen as Human player side for Multiplayer and Skirmish games (No AI support for Skirmish). Some units of this General had been altered (It's a little surprise) so now there is a perfect logical reason why she controls units from all the original factions (and even more…).
