A GLOBAL CRISIS officially announced!
A new war rages between Israel and Syria, while the American and Chinese forces continue to fight against the GLA terrorists, turning the local Mid-East crisis into A GLOBAL CRISIS. 
 

 
Coming Soon...

"A Global Crisis" is a mod for "C&C Generals: Zero Hour", created by "Abra" (me...) as a private initiative.

"A Global Crisis" adds Israel and Syria (originated from Isotx's MidEast Crisis total conversion mod, with their permission) right into C&C Generals: Zero Hour universe, with some great new changes in all factions, like realistic skins and models, some new units and few gameplay modifications.

"A Global Crisis" includes all of the original Zero Hour campaigns and Generals Challenge missions, as well as Skirmish maps for Multiplayer and Singleplayer games.

Full AI support in ALL Skirmish maps for ALL available factions (except for the Boss General which has AI support only for the last Generals Challenge mission).

"A Global Crisis" will be available through Mod DB and also through Crosus - Isotx's games and mods management system.

Available factions:

Israel:
To counter their smaller numbers, Israel prefers high quality units over quantity, but their units  are very expensive.

Syria:
Syria relies on mass numbers of outdated but cheap and reliable Russian equipment and fortified positions.

USA:

- USA main faction.

- Air Force General.

- Superweapon General.

- Laser General.

GLA:
- GLA main faction.

- Toxin General.

- Demolition General.

- Stealth General.

China:
- China main faction.

- Tank General.

- Infantry General.

- Nuke General.

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

Modifications:
Some Zero Hour 3D models and textures had been replaced. for example: USA Crusader Tank model (Leopard) changed to M1A2 Abrams model (desert colors), GLA Scorpion Tank changed to T55 model, improved realistic infantry skins and so on.
New GLA units also replacing some old GLA units (for example: AT-14 missile Technical for stealth GLA General instead of Toxin Truck).

I have also modified the original MEC gameplay so most of the Israeli and Syrian units are now available without specializations. (Buying special technology now used mainly for reducing vehicles/infantry/aircrafts costs and for purchasing upgrades) and I've changed the Israeli infantry uniforms color to olive green (like the real ones are).

I have rebalanced the game so both Zero Hour and the Israeli/Syrian factions are more balanced (mainly increased health for Zero Hour units).
