Capture Building is an upgrade available to any general, enabling their basic infantry to capture buildings

BackgroundEdit

In modern wars, generals realize that battlefield is too dangerous for engineers to be deployed. In order to prevent unnecessary loss of live, basic soliders of factions are trained to capture enemy building, even the high-tech buildings like Super Weapons. Base defenses controlled by AI (or primitive structures like Stinger site), however, cannot be captured.

List of units affectedEdit

• USA
  • Ranger
• GLA
  • Rebel unit not available to Dr. Thrax and Prince Kassad
  • Toxin Rebel unit only available to Dr. Thrax
  • Stealth Rebel unit only available to Prince Kassad
• China
  • Red Guard unit not available to General Shin Fai
  • Mini-Gunner unit only available to General Shin Fai

TacticsEdit

With a Para Drop, Sneak Attack or Rebel Ambush a General could be able to capture buildings of the enemy (and use or sell them immediately), this is mostly faster than destroying the buildings, but the soldiers are no longer able to defend themselfes. When there are helicopters or when buildings are equipped with mines, the entire attack force will be decimated in seconds.

It's not always a must have upgrade, China's Black Lotus (or Super Lotus for General Shin Fai) are experts in taking buildings, but can do little more than that.
