History VideoGame / CommandAndConquerGeneralsContra

''Command & Conquer Generals: Contra'' is a GameMod of ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerGenerals: Zero Hour''. Much like ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerGeneralsShockwave'', this mod aims to improve the depth and variety of ''Generals'' by taking its Generals mechanic and essentially turning it Up to Eleven. Whereas in Zero Hour, each general is a specialist who primarily follows the faction template with a handful of unique weapons and upgrades, Contra functionally turns every single general into its own faction, with wildly-different unit types, tech trees, and special abilities. It alsoadds several new features, including three new generals and "super units" - Vehicles unique to each faction that are extremely powerful and difficult to destroy.

Despite lacking a real campaign, (the ones from Generals and Zero Hour aren't compatible), the Generals Challenge mode is intact and fully compatible with the mod's new features. And in addition to revamped versions of the challenges from the already-existing generals of Zero Hour, there are also several challenges from new generals who were created exclusively for this mod.

* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: Compared to the other generals, the Cybernetic General has TWO super units with unique strengths

* ShoutOut: The lines of each General's super unit contain a variety of pop-culture references.

** As a faction as a whole, Shi Tao, China's Nuke General counts as this. His Nuclear Storm is ''''THE'''' most damaging super weapon in the game, and many of his units are also [[Glass Cannon Glass Cannons]] as well, but he doesn't have any defensive structures at all, forcing him to rely on landmines, Attack Outposts, and guarding key locations with units to defend his base.

** Missile Defenders, Tank Hunters, and RPG Troopers no longer have the ability to shoot at aircraft, something that's [[AntiFrustrationFeatures explicitly stated in their descriptions]] in the mod, as to not confuse the player, and instead, their role of anti-air infantry are given to Red Arrows and Stinger Troopers, with the USA not having an anti-air infantry unit anymore.

* GlassCannon: Malcolm Granger's super unit, the Wyvern, is incredibly powerful, yet is the most fragile out of all the super units. It makes up for this by being both stealthed and blindingly fast.

* AdaptationalWimp: General Kwai's Emperor Overlord Tanks no longer have anything capable of dealing with aircraft but make up for it by being able to be upgraded with bunkers, radars, long range sniper cannons, and flamethrowers, all while still having their pre-installed propaganda towers.

* AttackDrone: USA's Cybernetic General makes extensive use of these in place of normal aircraft.
* {{Cyborg}}: USA's Cybernetic General's infantry, including his version of Colonel Burton, are all these.

* FragileSpeedster: The Cybernetic General's Widow is quick to move and attack, but is very lightly armored.
* GlassCannon: The Air Force General's super unit, the Wyvern, is powerful and fast, yet is still very vulnerable after it drops its payload.
* HumongousMecha: The Cybernetic General's Angel-class units are all these.
* MasterOfAll: The Toxin's General's super unit, the Karakurt, is effective against all types of units, including infantry, ground vehicles, and even aircraft!

* MightyGlacier: Certain "super units" like the Suan Ni, Guan Yu, and the Omega Cannon are quite slow, but they make up for it by having an absurd amount of health and devastating firepower.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: The units of the Cybernetic General's Angel production line, which are all humanoid robots that vaguely resemble the creatures in question. While they do have "wings", however, they cannot fly.
* SpiderTank: The Cybernetic General's Spider-Class units. Also, the USA Boss General's Super Unit, Leonidas.
