Manual:ShockWave/Factions/General Kwai/Structures

• Cost: 500

Protects the building with a ring of anti-personnel mines. These kill infantry very quickly and rapidly destroy tanks moving through the mine field. Enemy forces can use tank shells and missiles to prematurely detonate the mines. As long as the parent building is still standing, any detonated mines are replaced over time. If the parent building is destroyed, all of the mines belonging to it are immediatly detonated. Friendly Units can walk or drive over mines unharmed, since they carry transmitters tuned into the deactivation frequency of the mines.

• Cost: 500
• Requires: Mines

Substitutes the anti-personnel mines around a building for EMP mines. These kill infantry and damage vehicles, and also instantly disable any vehicles moving over them for a period of time.

• Cost: 2000
• Requires: -

The Command Center is the hub of Kwai's command and intelligence, and is the foundation of any forward base. It builds Dozers and can be upgraded with radar. Generals abilities are also activated from here (see Generals abilities for more information).

Radar

• Cost: 500

Upgrades the Command Center with radar capability.

• Cost: 1000
• Requires: -
• Power output: 10 (15 when overcharged)

To supply their bases with power, China utilizes Nuclear Reactors. They provide 10 units of power, and can be temporarily overcharged for extra power. The reactors themselves are rather flimsy and cheaply constructed however, and they will melt down and explode violently if the structure is destroyed.

Overcharge

This switch allows the Nuclear Reactor to be overcharged for an additional 5 power units. Don't leave your nuclear reactors unattended with the switch on, since overcharging damages the structure over time and eventually causes the reactor to explode if Overcharge is not switched off.

• Cost: 500
• Requires: -

The Barracks is where infantry can be trained and infantry-related upgrades are found. Injured infantry can enter it to recieve medical treatment.

• Cost: 1600
• Requires: Nuclear Reactor
• Power consumption: 1

The Supply Center is the building where Kwai's Large Supply Trucks are built and drop off their supply crates to provide money for China. It comes with one free Large Supply Truck, and can also construct more if needed.

• Cost: 2000
• Requires: Supply Center
• Power consuption: 1

The War Factory is responsible for building Kwai's heavy vehicles, as well as repairing any damaged vehicles if necessary.

• Cost: 1000
• Requires: Supply Center
• Power consumption: 1

The Airfield can produce and hold up to four aircraft and can also produce Kwai's one and only helicopter. After returning from an attack run, damaged aircraft are automatically repaired, and helicopters can also be sent to land here to be repaired.

• Cost: 2000
• Requires: War Factory
• Power consumption: 2

The Industrial Plant is a key building in Kwai's tank production line. When constructed, it will immediately reduce the costs of all vehicles by 15%. It also enables the construction of some more advanced technologies, and provides upgrades to further enhance the effectiveness of Kwai's weaponry.

• Cost: 2000
• Requires: War Factory
• Power consumption: 2

The Propaganda Center is the central hub for all Chinese propaganda and research efforts. It allows advanced units and structures to be built and additional upgrades to be bought. Additionally, it is fitted with a speaker tower, healing any friendly units in range and increasing their rate of fire.

• Cost: 2000
• Requires: War Factory, Propaganda Center
• Power consumption: 4

China, noticing the need for a secured environment for their Hackers to bring in money, recently introduced this special structure. Using a high-speed internet connection, up to eight Hackers can hack money with a slightly increased hacking rate while inside. Additionally, Hackers inside the building are able to use enemy spy satellites for the Chinese army after the Satellite Hack upgrade has been bought. Hackers inside this structure cannot be killed by conventional means and the Internet Center is immune to capturing as well.

Spy Satellite

• Requires: Satellite Hack 1
• Recharge time: 1:00

Reveals the targeted area, including any stealthed units.

• Cost: 500
• Requires: Propaganda Center
• Power consumption: 1

China's morale will be boosted by a large margin when this seemingly simple structure broadcasts uplifting messages about the strength of the motherland to all that are so fortunate to share in its greatness. It will increase the combat effectiveness of any units nearby by increasing their rate of fire and providing healing or repairs. This effect can be increased with the Subliminal Messaging upgrade.

• Cost: 5000
• Requires: Propaganda Center or Industrial Plant
• Power consumption: 10

When all other methods of defeating the enemy have failed, this building will deliver the final blow. This silo contains a nuclear missile, a feared weapon all over the world. Once the countdown is complete, it will be moved into launch position, ready to be launched at China's enemies. Nuclear-related upgrades can also be purchased from this building.

Nuclear Missile

• Recharge time: 6:00

When launched, the nuclear missile will fly to its destination and detonate in a horribly powerful fireball, incinerating anything nearby and sending shockwaves with winds of several hundreds of kilometres per hour in all directions. Nothing but the strongest buildings can survive this kind of power, and even in its wake it leaves radiation which is deadly to infantry and also damages military hardware.

• Cost: 200
• Requires: War Factory

Rather than relying on weak infantry to defend a base, Kwai has designed a simple yet effective bunker that can hold a single armoured vehicle. Vehicles inside are still vulnerable to attack, but they can fire out at enemies more effectively and are also repaired if they become damaged.

• Cost: 1200
• Requires: Nuclear Reactor
• Power consumption: 3

Kwai has upgraded his Gattling Cannons with armour-piercing rounds, turning it from merely a pest into a serious threat to any armoured vehicle. Even a small amount of hits from this death sprayer can damage a light vehicle substantially, and with sustained fire anything will be torn apart.
