***Features***
**************
The main goal of this mod is to make Zero Hour a more interesting game with more diversity between the generals, making you think twice before you select a certain general, and overall provide more choices, diversity, and strategic freedom than in Zero Hour - while keeping the spirit and design direction of the original Generals game and storyline.

ShockWave includes 3 new Generals, over 100 new units, tons of new structures, upgrades, maps and many other gameplay tweaks. ShockWave also provides completely custom made sound effects, new in-game weapon effects and visuals, bug fixes, and an improved battlefield overview with a higher viewpoint.

That will be all. Drop a line at our forums (http://forums.swr-productions.com/index.php?showforum=20), and enjoy the mod!

Thanks again and stay safe!
