Surprisingly, despite being the Laser General he has only one real laser unit at his disposal (the Laser Crusader). The left one is probably unused because you can't really recognize the aircraft in that picture due to the side view.

There are two selection pictures of the B2 Carpet Bombing special power in the game, but only the right one is used. This suggests that originally the Tank Drop was supposed to go to America, but since it does not really fit any of the factions, it may be either a relic of the prototype (which had an American Tank General), or a sign that the developers wanted to resurrect this idea for the expansion pack. On top of that, they depict American Crusader tanks, rather than Chinese Battlemaster tanks. The selection pictures of the Tank Drop of the Chinese Tank General are found in the file where the American selection pictures are stored. But not only does the wake move in the wrong direction, but planes cannot land on moving objects due to game engine bugs, which forced the developers to make the aircraft carrier a static building. The American Aircraft Carrier, which normally only appears in the second American mission (but can be placed on custom maps via Worldbuilder) has unused wakes which would be used when the aircraft carrier is moving. (Source: Stanislav.Saw for making the videos) Aircraft Carrier There are other unused sounds, like 'Spectre is nearing the target area' which are equally unused. If you click somewhere after it has bombarded the area but before it leaves the map, it will respond with move voices but not do anything. It seems like the Spectre Gunship used to work like a normal unit at first. No Generals' Challenge map exists for him and his actual faction design is unknown, although he has been recreated in several mods including the popular 'Shockwave.' Notably, the picture that is commonly passed off as his portrait is not in fact the one used in the development of Zero Hour, no official portraits of him exist. The Firebase has an unused animation of the howitzer undeploying back into the platform.Īnother American general that was intended to appear in the Generals' Challenge, Ironside has a complete sound set and may have been an American 'boss' general analogous to General Leang. That and the fact it didn't have anything other than the intelligence special power, compared to the Strategy Center which houses most USA upgrades.

The developers probably removed it because they wanted to root out all that remains of the POW logic. The Detention Camp, a structure in the base game, was removed in Zero Hour and its only function was given to the Strategy Center.
