Bunker (Generals 1)

Bunkers could be constructed by Chinese generals to defend their bases and any outposts on the battlefield. Each Bunker could be garrisoned with up to five infantry, who were protected while inside it, even from toxin and flame attacks. A Bunker filled with Tank Hunters would certainly slow down an enemy commander, especially since the Gattling Cannons were only effective against aircraft and infantry. Bunkers, like all Chinese buildings, could also be mined to prevent fast ground assaults.

Due to there being no power consumption this structure is unaffected by EMP effects, and the structure can be constructed quickly. Whilst the bunker itself was moderately armoured and surprisingly cheap, if it is destroyed the infantry are made much more vulnerable. Since the weapons of the infantrymen inside still had the same limited range, Bunkers were vulnerable to artillery units.

Because of the threat posed to infantry in structures by some weapons systems, the Chinese designed the bunker to be able to withstand some attacks that would clear out other structures, including: In addition, if the building is destroyed, the infantry survive, whereas with other buildings the soldiers vacate when it is critically damaged, they can remain inside a Bunker until it is destroyed.

On units
The Overlord tank and Helix could be upgraded with a bunker similar to the free-standing structure.This "bunker" is actually an vehicle upgrade to carry troop compartment with fit-to-all-weapon firing ports. These type of "bunker" virtually add a infantry carrying capacity. Beside armor clad, these type of bunker provide no other protection, especially from chemical, nuclear, or garrison-clearing weapon.

General Shin Fai also had the Assault Helix instead of the normal Helix, this improved the maximum number of passengers, but could only be upgraded with bunker (instead of bunker, gattling cannon or an propaganda tower).

Shin Fai
General Shin Fai, the infantry general, adopted an improved Bunker design for his forces, the Fortified Bunker.
