Also known as the developing unofficial patch 1.1 to both Generals and Zero Hour, this beta mod release as experiemental contains some of the balance changes to improve Generals and Zero Hour. USA, China and GLA changes apply to both C&C Generals and Zero Hour. Don't worry though, there are more changes to be made there.

Put the folders in C:\Program Files\EA Games or C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts (whichever installation folder you install in). No files are needed to be overwritten and both C&C Generals & Zero Hour will overwrite the changes on what's in those files.
Pretty soon I will open up a Moddb page on this once it has reached "release candidate" status.
