Generals:War Factory

From Command and Conquer Wiki

War Factories were structures assembled on the battlefield by the USA and China and used to manufacture a large array of tanks and other vehicles (in fact, all of the combat ground units used by those factions). Vehicles were built individually, with commanders able to set a 'build queue' of units to be constructed. In addition to constructing vehicles, War Factories had repair bays capable of repairing one vehicle at a time, and could also develop certain upgrades for both factions.

Note that the GLA did not possess War Factories, but rather 'Arms Dealers'. However, the functions of the structures were essentially identical.

[edit] Units produced

USA

The USA War Factory could by itself build

• Crusader Tanks (or Laser Tanks for General Townes)
• Humvees
• Sentry Drones
• Ambulances

And with a proper promotion the Paladin Tank(note that none of the US Generals will ever use this tank especially the superweapon and Air force general).

If a Strategy Center was also present it could build:

• Avengers
• Microwave Tanks
• Tomahawk Launchers.

China

The China War Factory could by itself build:

• Battlemaster Tanks (Also note that the Infantry general will prefer Tank Hunters instead of this tank)
• Troop Crawlers (or Assault Troop Transports for General Shin Fai)
• Gattling Tanks
• Dragon Tanks
• Listening Outposts (or Attack Outposts for General Fai)

With a Propaganda Center in place it could also build:

• Inferno Cannons
• Overlord Tanks (or Emperor Overlord Tanks in General Ta Hun Kwai's case)

With the proper promotion this would also let it build Nuke Cannons, although China trusted General Tsing Shi Tao enough to make them available as standard to him.

[edit] Upgrades available from the War Factory

USA

• TOW Missile - Added a TOW Missile launcher to every Humvee.
• Sentry Drone Gun - Gave Sentry Drones a machine gun.

China
