Tech Structures

Master Command & Conquer: Generals! Learn about capturing and utilizing vital Tech Structures like Oil Derricks, Hospitals, and Repair Bays to gain a strategic advantage.

Hey there! Let's talk about those special buildings you'll find scattered around the map in Command & Conquer: Generals, called 'Tech Structures'. These aren't your regular base buildings; they're neutral and can be captured. You'll spot them by their yellow flag and wrench icon. Capturing these can give you some serious advantages, so knowing what they do is key.

Tech Structures List

• Oil Derrick — Produces money. Capturing it earns $1000 initially, then $200 periodically. Available in both Generals and Zero Hour.
• Fuel Refinery — Reduces the cost of Armour and Aircraft units. A must-have for players focusing on these unit types. .
• Hospital — Heals your Infantry units anywhere on the map. .
• Repair Bay — Heals your Armour units anywhere on the map. Exclusive to Zero Hour.
• Artillery Platform — Provides defensive bombardment capabilities against Ground Units, similar to the American Fire Base. Exclusive to Zero Hour.
• Reinforcement Pad — This is a big one! It drops off a free Armour unit (like a Tank) every two minutes. The specific vehicle might change depending on your General. Exclusive to Zero Hour.

Tips: Prioritize capturing these structures early, especially the Oil Derrick for income and the Fuel Refinery if you're building lots of vehicles or planes. The Reinforcement Pad is incredibly powerful in Zero Hour, so defending it is crucial!
