GAMEPLAY

The core gameplay of Generals at War revolves around resource management, base building and PVP against other players, players will be tasked with building up their own headquarters and fielding an army that they can use to attack other players and defend their own base from dozens of available units that can be researched. Players have a number of different Achievements that they may also work towards for extra bonuses and benefits creating a meta game within the main game itself.

RESOURCES

Resource acquisition and management is vital to being successful in the game, with six different resources that players must access (Gold, Money, Ammunition and Oil, which can be converted into gasoline or diesel) these resources are spent on construction of buildings and units, maintenance and upkeep as well as research. As players progress into the game then need for more resources will ever increase and so they must find new ways to acquire them including upgrading their resource production buildings (Ordinance Factory, Oil Derrick, Manor, etc.), trading with other players through direct exchange or diplomatic negotiations or simply attacking their rivals to claim their resources.

RESEARCH, BUILDINGS AND UNITS

Upon building a University a player is able to research new unit types, made up from Infantry, Marine, Aviation, Tanks and more, each of which requires an amount of money invested into it to research that particular unit before it is accessible as well as the corresponding building that produces them. Units also require resources to construct/train and ongoing maintenance to use them, as well is this it takes time to fully train up a unit (or construct/upgrade a building) which can range from anything from a few seconds for the lowest units to hours for the highest units. Each unit has both a defence and attack value, showing where its main strengths lie and how it would best be utilised in battle either for aggressive offensive attacks or defensive tactics. When in battle and armies combined attack value (made up of all units) matched against the oppositions defence value to determine who will be the victor.
