😎 Ya know what would make a good mod better?
Boats. There are already images for a battleship and hovercraft so use em.

I totally agree with you Sloane. I've always wanted naval units in Generals, because it would add a ton of gameplay to it. However, it isn't as easy as you think to add that kind of stuff to a game or mod. You can't just say," oh! we should put boats into the game." and then it happens overnite.

Regardless of the fact that there are already images for hovercraft, or battleships, you still have to write the code for them, write their behavior code, write code for water/shore boundries, write code for all the other units so they can attack boats, and syncronize the voice clips with the boat's actions, etc. etc. I would love to see naval units in future installments, but it just may not happen.😞

maybe an idea for EA to make another expansion for generals that includes naval. but i dont think it's something for generals. if they make like a ra3 then it could be in there. units in generals are just too big so just imagine how big ships would be then. in ra2 ships where just a little bit bigger than tanks they cant be that big in generals that would look stupid and ruin the game. and there might be a hovercraft and battleship but what will the other sides get then? hovercraft aint that good in a game though. it would have to be big if it even has to carry like 2 tanks. chinook is kinda stupid that it carries 2 tanks that togheter are bigger then the chinook. so the hovercraft would have to be as big as a ship. and that would be too big for a warfac. so it cant be made there if it is then it aint realistic. if you make a shipyard then that would have to be HUGE too. and i wonder how much it would cost. or how much a ship would cost when you look at the cost of a tank well maybe a ship should cost 30000 then. and if you have a aircraftcarrier whit the capacity for 40 aircraft then when you make it it would cost 80000 then and then the aircraft that you still need to make how you planning on getting cash for that? well no no naval for generals generals is based to much on realism to be able to have a navy. but a new ra could have a navy.

ea could make a RA3 and that would most likely be 3d as generals but in thatone they could do ships because ra2 wasn't based on realism and tanks and ships where too small there so they can be too small in ra3 too so it could have ships in a game that's more like generals then like ra2 in graphics.

GLA could have pirate ships with those cannon ball launchers (forgot the name) and a Age of empire style fishing net to earn money, lets see, rafts for transport, cannoes full of gunpowder, and the naval yard can actually be called the sea port!
