Command & Conquer: Generals is a real-time strategy video game and the seventh installment in the Command & Conquer series.
Command and Conquer Generals operates like most other real-time strategy games, in that the player must construct a base, acquire resources, build various combat and support units, and defeat opponents.
Various unit types can be constructed, ranging from infantry to vehicles and air units. The player may control the United States of America, the People’s Republic of China, or the Global Liberation Army, and each side has its unique characteristics and abilities.
All sides share some similarities, such as training infantry at a barracks, building armored vehicles at a factory, possessing “high tech” buildings needed for more advanced units, possessing a means to acquire additional resources and possessing a unique superweapon.
