---------- Install Instructions ----------

Step 1: Copy the Map folders out of the pack and into your maps folder, located in
C:\Users\(UserName)\Documents\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data\Maps

Step 2: Open Zero Hour and play! (Solo Play > Skirmish > Select Map > Unofficial Maps)


!!! Only do the next part if you want to open a Naval map in Worldbuilder !!!


2 files that need to be installed before you open a Naval Map

"[Naval v1,4] Objects for Worldbuilder" is the file that
adds units to Worldbuilder. Place it in the folder below

...\Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour\Data\INI\Object

If there's no Object folder in your INI folder, then make one
TAKE THIS FILE OUT OF THE FOLDER BEFORE YOU OPEN ZH
Put it in before you open Worldbuilder then take it out again
Use a desktop shortcut to make it easier to move in and out


I use a large model to view the Shipyard IN WORLDBUILDER
You do not need to use it, but without it Shipyards have
no model. The file is Shipyard.W3D and you install it in

...\Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour\Art\W3D

You don't need to remove this before you play ZH
It's fine to install it and just forget about it


---------- About Naval ----------

There is only one faction: The Navy.

The Navy's ships come in three different classes

- Corvettes
are Small, fast, amphibious vehicles that dominate the early game

- Frigates
are mid game ships that are significantly stronger than Corvettes

- Capitals
are large ships that take a long time to develop but will dominate the battlefield

- Aircraft
which are the fastest units in the game but are limited by your build space.


Each class has its own strengths and weaknesses. Torpedoes will rip Frigates and Capitals apart but do no damage to Corvettes, and Ion Cannons will mow down Corvettes and Frigates but are ineffective against Capitals. Adjusting your fleet composition to better take care of the enemy ships is key to winning any engagement. Navy also has its own array of Support Powers and Buildings.

Building ships, mostly be done by the Shipyard and Mobile Shipyard. Each ship class requires a dedicated facility in the Shipyard in order to be built. For example, if you want to make Frigates from a Shipyard, you will first need to make a Frigate facility. Once it's complete, you can then click on the Frigate Menu button in the shipyard and make Frigates from there. The same goes for Corvettes and Capitals. However, before you can make a ship facility you need to get the upgrade from the Navy Headquarters. Only after you get Corvette Research can you make a Corvette Facility.

---------- Patch 1.4 ----------

This patch aims to improve Multiplayer gameplay and bring capital ships to the forefront of the fight.

I keep a rough log in the Map.ini of all the changes I make for each update. Here are the changes for Patch 1.4!


Patch 1.4 (The Capital Ship Update):
- Major Updates
Multiplayer / Skirmish Update: Players are given a Mobile Shipyard at the start of a match.
Rework Scrap: Salvage Corvettes collect large scrap by moving over them, sinks after a bit.
Rework Salvage Corvette: Removed the Scrap crunch weapon, added an other upgradable weapon.
Rework Harvester: Can now carry 2 infantry inside, can now rappel both Defenders and Seals.
Rework Battlecruiser: Removed the random ship with buff, added customisable upgrade system.
Rework Oil Depot: increased the cost to 3.2K, while allowing us to make as many as we want.
Flagship: Added into the files, is a big Battleship and hyperspace capability, one allowed.
Destroyer: Added into the files, is a small Battleship with Missile pods that you can swap.
Corvette Hangar: Added into the files, place that makes corvettes and dozers, uses 2 power.
Navy Heavy Bomber: Added into the files, Special Power bomber that drops one Heavy Torpedo.
Navy Probe: Added into the files, missile launched scout, crashes 2 minutes after deployed.
Special Powers: Added Heavy Torpedoes, Marine Frigate Drops, Probes and Camera Zoom button.
Camera Zoom Button: Zooms out to get an improved view of the battlefield on the open ocean.

- Balance Updates
Nerfed the Marine Frigate's Ion Cannon Turret damage, no longer as strong as an Ion Cannon,
buffed the health of the Guardian Control Center, buffed the Support Frigate repair radius,
removed that stupid "Dock" feature from Support Frigates that I added from the last update,
Slightly buffed Ion Cannon Tower range, Increased the price of Class Research quite hugely,
fixed a few little tiny bugs relating to performance and the playability of a couple units.
Slightly buffed the Salvage Corvette unupgraded Damage, made this text form a pretty block,
Probably a lot of little things that I adjusted but forgot to document so are lost to time.

Added Campaign Lore! Their files are in The Sarum Pass, The Fields Of Plaz, and Bootcamp


Here are a couple of images of the new things

Battlecruisers can now chose 3 these 6 upgrades, which each provide different features and actions

A small area in the new Campaign Mission: The Fields of Plaz

Destroyers - the new Capital Ships armed with three missile pods

Destroyers can change their weapon loadout once to better combat different types of ships

The Hero unit of the Navy, Flagships are powerful and have the ability to hyperspace jump a certain distance forwards

Here are all the Capital Ships next to each other
