People's General (a.k.a. Dynasty General) is a turn-based strategy computer game developed by Strategic Simulations, Inc (SSI). It was released in August, 1998 in North America and in September, 1998 in Europe. The game originally focused on early 21st century warfare in Asia but both the time-frame and geographic coverage have been expanded by gamers.
People's General focuses on modern conflict in Asia between 20 countries, principally the USA, China and Russia.
In the original game the countries are organized into an Eastern Alliance and a Western Alliance. China, Mongolia and North Korea comprise the Eastern Alliance. The USA, Russia, 13 other countries and the United Nations comprise the Western Alliance. Vietnam is included as an un-allied country.
Gamer created campaigns and scenarios have expanded this premise to include different regions of conflict, different alliances and other countries.
The original campaigns and scenarios expanded on this premise with a more detailed background story provided by SSI via an introductory video. The video narrated hypothetical "future" events occurring from 2000-2004, i.e., after publication of the game and before the start of the campaigns and scenarios.
According to this video, both the USA and Russia reduce their military spendings. Russia is in turmoil from food shortages and other internal conflicts. China grows stronger militarily. After invading Taiwan it initiates a plan to dominate all of Asia from Sakhalin Islands and Vladivostok in the east to Volgograd and Kazakhstan in the west; from Siberia in the north to Southeast Asia and Singapore in the south. China justifies this as "reclaiming traditional Chinese territories".
The USA sends its 7th Fleet to the Taiwan Straits to force China to withdraw. Chinese air attacks sink 7th Fleet's flagship USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72), claiming it was in Chinese waters. United States denounces this as an unprovoked attack and declares war on China. The US is joined by the United Nations and most of its members.
Many campaigns and scenarios created by gamers diverge from this background story.
- Attachments which modify attack, defense, supply, movement & spotting capabilities can be assigned to units.
- A strategic air mission system provides various forms of air support independent of core and auxiliary units.
- "Trigger hexes" provide random increases in unit experience, air missions, prestige and other resources.
- Veteran & elite units can be purchased with higher levels of experience.
- Helicopters have been added as a new equipment class.
- Three new terrain types have been added.
- New types of special equipment have been added and a unit's special equipment is now indicated on the unit display;
- An alliance system has been added which allows purchase of units from any allied country.
- PeG's graphics are 16 bit (65,536 colors), while PG2 uses 8 bit graphics (256 colors) so icons and maps are richer looking.
