I have a neat idea. In maps with towns and cities and the such (actually, a group of 3 civil. building would be enough), each side would have propaganda trucks, each with it's own unique look. It would then automaticlly (like a supply truck) go around the buildings, spreading propaganda, creating infantry men (random: US gets rangers/MDs, GLA gets rebels/RPG soldiers, China gets Red Gaurd/tank hunter). It, however, would be a "ten men every house when it passes", but at a much slower rate, like one man every 7 or 8 houses/buildings, maybe 2 men. the truck would be slow and unarmed, and cost from $2000 to $3000. I know PR has the AI set up so they will build some new stuff, like the M1 A2 Abrahms, so they could set AI up to do that to. The Militia, I'm thinking though, should be able to produce men from civilian buildings they garrison, turning them into a barracks while men are in it, if that's possible. if not, they could just as easily have a propaganda truck to convert civilians (not in the Militia) into infantry for battle, probably 2 guerillas or 2 stinger soldiers per 7-8 houses, maybe at the same building. If this can't be coded, (I'll understand), it still seems like a pretty good idea to me. If anyone's played "Chrono Defense" on RA2, they should remember the propaganda truck making civilians fight you.
Neat Idea for propaganda trucks...

and maybe the propaganda truck could have the ability to have infantry who can attack from inside so it can hold its own a bit better

Sounds cool. The USA version should be armed(along with everything else the USA has) cuz they don't send anything into the fight without at least a handgun.

I think I know the defensive systems for all of em. The USA one could get drones and would have a PDL. The China One could have a speaker tower, upgradable with subliminal messaging, in addition to the unit production effects. The GLA one would have high armor and be garrisonable, like a bunker.
Technical stuff:
1. USA: all get PDL and has good resistance to machine guns, but weak against missiles. all can produce drone.
2. GLA: all have high armor, HP, like a bunker, can hold 3-5 men.
3. China: all ets propaganda tower, upgrades w/ subliminal messaging, low HP, comes with small gattling gun.
4. (if possible) For All Gens and Forces: makes buildings garrison with the civilians turned soldiers.
5. Stealth gen. gets truck camoflaged at start.
6. SupW gen. gets single-missile-firing EMP Patriot mounted on top.
7. Inf. gen gets two gattling guns.
cant decide on specifics for other gens. Help would be appreciated, but please keep it from being a nuke cannon, particle beam, or anything much more powerful then these ideas, that would unbalance them and make them be too good. Thanks.

Air Force: All drones on all vehicles are better, so there is no need for another upgrade here
Laser: Small laser gun
Superweapon: Twin TOW missiles and a machine gun
Infa: Gattling Gun like you said
Tank: Small anti-tank dumb-fire missile
Nuke: Same as Tank with radiation
All GLA: Your plan, garrison
Stealth: invisible
Thrax: small toxin sprayer
Demo: Demo Trap factory, works like Red Guard mines only its a demo trap instead of a minefield
Militia: A pickup, people can pile in the back and shoot, trailer mortar?

Hmmm... maybe make the nuke gen's propaganda truck a dual rocket launcher (spreads radiation), demo should have a grenade luancher or 2 instead, because allowing it to build demo traps gives it an unfair advantage for units after it, and it may end up destorying the buildings it's patrolling near, making it able to destroy every building and keep it from getting soldiers made. it would suck to have all the houses blown up by your own propaganda truck, after all. everything else is fine, except maybe Superweapon, she should have emp missiles, she does seem to like emp stuff in this mod 
. and then Militia, them having pickup is sorta copying GLA, not to mention the fact they already have 3 transport units already. dual 50 cals or anautomated morter would fit them better (and I do have a point saying they have too many transports).
This'll work out soon, only a few things in there that don't seem to fit the force or is too overpowered.

I noticed on my first post for this topic had a mistake. it went "It would, however, be a "ten men every house you pass" thing" it's supposed to say "It WOULDN'T, however..."

K I'll PM you the info for War Games
Anyway back on topic:
For a slight modification, maybe each side should get differently equipped civilians. USA spends lots of money to make sure they all have quality guns, armor and training, but each person you recruit costs you money. They have good range, power and rate of fire.
China gives them a rifle and drops them out. Decently long range, but lousey rate of fire and average power. They do get a bit of training, though.
GLA passes out the AKs. No training, just walk around and unload in every direction. High rate of fire but short range.
Militia passes out shotguns. EXTREME power but short range.
