Generals Abilities is a fresh element to the Command & Conquer franchise, it is similar to the Supporting Power system in Tiberium Wars and the Protocol system in Red Alert 3. Generals Abilities can allow off-map assets to quickly change the course of a battle, provide improved support for military elements, or devastate an enemy's base. Most Generals Abilities require the Command Center to deploy.

Generals Abilities are acquired from the General's Window using Skill Points. One Generals Ability can be chosen for each Skill Point earned.  Skill Points are earned from experience gained by destroying enemy units and structures. The yellow experience meter on the far right of the Command Bar at the bottom of the Game Screen <!-- Images required, could somebody please add some? --> indicates the current experience level.  A Skill Point is earned whenever the the experience meter reaches the top.

The Generals Abilities are ranked in three levels.  Each level requires a Promotion to achieve.  A player begins as a One-Star General and has access to the Generals Abilities on the first level.  After earning three Skill Points, a Three-Star Promotion is achieved and the Generals Abilities on the second level become available. Likewise, five Skill Points achieves  a Five-Star Promotion and the third level Abilities are available.

In campaign solo-play, Skill Points carry over from mission to mission, but the Generals Abilities are reset.  This allows the player to select a new set of Generals Abilities based on specific mission requirements.


In Skirmish and Multiplayer games, the player starts off as 1 Star General with 1 Skill Point. With every promotion, one Skill Point is added. Therefore when the player reaches 5 Star General, there are 5 Skill Points to spend. In Zero Hour, the player gains 3 Skill Points when promoted to 5 Star General, increases the total number of available Skill Points to 7. The player cannot earn anymore Skill Points when he reaches 5 Star General.
