Multiplayer allies
When you are playing a multiplayer game, if there are two allies, make one of them GLA. Now build a tunnel network beside your friend and give him troopers and vehicles.
Honors
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "skirmishstats.ini" file in the "command and conquer generals data" folder. It can be found in "c:my documents" or "c:documents and settingsadministrator" in Windows XP. Change the Honors line to "Honors = 999999999999999". If you do not have the Honors line, enter that line under the Challenge line.
Activate all cheats
Bring up the map, click on it, then type: allcheats.
Ghost town
Make your base invisible by doing the following. Bring down console, then type in ghost town.
Build order
Here is a suggested order in which you can build your base so that you get lots of money as quickly as possible. Note that this is only one method, and that there are plenty of other build orders that are just as good. Deploy the Moveable Construction Vehicle, then build power, barracks, refinery, power, weapons factory, then harvester (1 or 2). You should now be earning a steady income which you can build upon.
Change weapon cost
Edit the INI.big file in your game directory using a hex editor. Do not change the length of the file or the game will not work. Just overwrite the text as required.
For Example:
Search for "BuildCost" and overwrite it: "BuildCost = 0000"
Play as Russia
Bring up the command console then type the following to get units with names from some of the old Command and Conquer game titles: Russia:Yuri_Relived.

first of all the target file "ini.big" which is in your generals game folder must be backed up cos if something goes wrong you will have to replace a copy of the backed up "ini.big" file.
you must have a hex editor to do this cheat.
now you must have a copy of the orinial "ini.big" in your game directory.
open it with your hex editor. you will see that this is a collection of .ini files. for example there are rank.ini file, specialpower.ini file etc. read these files carefully and you will understand them. now replace the numaric values as you please but keep in mind that you must not alter the file length.
for example if there is a value say "0" then the max value you can replace it is "9". every unit in the game has it fire power, reload time etc fixed in some where in the file.
the specialpower.ini file has those special generals powers described.depending on your side you must change the statistics of your units and buildings. for example if you want to change the building cost of your war factory, find the section that say "warfactory" "side = america" then change the build cost from 2000 to 0010. then change the build time from 30 seconds to 02 seconds. like wise very carefully change your side's stats. the more you read each sub ini file section the more you gain knowlage of the whole game's stats.
if for some reson after you have change the copy of "ini.big" and the game want start then delete the "ini.big" file in the game directory and put a copy from the backed up iriginal "ini.big" to the game directory.
