In ZH, EA Games made it so there were 14 or 15 slots for factions and generals, and here's the list, divided into sides:
1 Civilian
2 USA
3 USA Laser
4 USA Superweapon
5 USA Airforce
6 China
7 China Tank
8 China Nuke
9 China Infantry
10 Boss
11 GLA
12 GLA Demo
13 GLA Toxin
14 GLA Stealth
15 Militia
As you can see, we're booked full.
Desert Legends RPG C&C's ONLY
Desert Doorway Defenders
Desert Corps.
BattleTanx
Operation: The Dragon's Den
Construct additional pylons. No, seriously. The power's out. Those power lines are overloaded. WE NEED MOAR PYLONS!

So, while you initial idea might be nice, it's just not going to happen.

I would change the civilian folder, but I need that for other things. So adding new sides is out of the question unless you want to use the random sides and end up with an AI player that does nothing at all. In which case PR would begin to suck then, because a lot of people use the Random option.

All vehicles deal 15% extra damage and go 15% faster, but all vehicles lose 20% armor.
Overwhelmer Gen
Every unit is built 10% faster and 10% cheaper, but deal 10% less damage.
Cannon Gen
Relies on heavy weaponry more. Cannons (tank, artillery, any kind) deals 10% more damage but all of the units affected by this are 5% slower and 5% more expensive, and infantry lose 20% damage.

That's a load of bull ****. Don't get we f****** pissed off and in this argument again. i had already introduced an idea like this before, He'd be called the Napalm General. Just because another mod has it doesn't mean that that's where the idea was stolen from. First of all, I've only played PR and so calling that idea if I had introduced (which I did a while a go) a steal is completly inncorrect and bitchy.
So why don'y you do us all a favor and Shut the f*** up. No one cares if you think we're stealing stuff from other mods, cause we don't and everyone who plays PR knows how much work is put into it. ... [Edited]
Damn.

Yes, but bear with me on this one. This requires a bit of a setup:Anyone else have an idea for Milita gens if there were more slots?
'The Civil Air Patrol (CAP) is the official civilian auxiliary of the United States Air Force (USAF). It was created on 1 December 1941 (just days before the attack on Pearl Harbor), and is credited with sinking at least two German U-boats during World War II. Today, CAP is no longer called on to destroy submarines, but is instead a benevolent entity dedicated to education and national service. It is a volunteer organization with a strongly aviation-minded membership that includes people from all backgrounds and walks of life. It performs three key missions: emergency services (including search and rescue), aerospace education for youth and the general public, and cadet programs.
During World War II, the Civil Air Patrol was seen as a way to actively use America's civil aviation resources to aid the war effort instead of grounding them (as was the case in the United Kingdom). The organization eagerly assumed many missions, including anti-submarine patrol and warfare, border patrols, and courier services. Despite being a volunteer force that was largely untrained in combat and military science, the organization's performance far exceeded expectations.
After the end of World War II, the Civil Air Patrol became a civilian auxiliary of the United States Air Force. The incorporation charter declared that CAP would never again be involved in direct combat activities, but would instead be of benevolent nature. CAP still actively performs search and rescue missions within the United States. The September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center demonstrated the importance of the Civil Air Patrol, as it was this organization's aircraft that flew blood to victims of the attack; they also provided the first aerial pictures of the World Trade Center site.'

(A note for anyone who might be interested - My brother and his wife served in CAP during high school here in the U.S. and again over in Germany while my younger brother was in the Air Force.)
-----------------
Anyway, back to the idea. I know this has been decided by VG before, about how the GLA and Militia will not get an Air force. And how he doesn't want to hear it anymore. But in this case remember, we are now talking hypothetically about militia general 'if there were more slots'. Which we know isn't going to happen. Therefore, speaking hypothetically here, I'm going to bring up the idea of an Militia Air force General, very loosely based on the Civil Air Patrol.
The storyline would be that this branch of the civilian militia, was and is trained by the air force from the government of the country of origin to provide scouting, localized defense, and medical aid to the forces that fight against the GLA tyranny.
The Militia Air Force General would have similar characteristics to the U.S, Air force general in the game, such as Having aircraft and infantry but no super duper tanks or anything to speak of. They would have an infantry ability to build light bunkers in the exact same way the U.S. Air force general has in the game as well as fire-bases that look like the original U.S. in ZH. (I mean any dumba** country, and militia, can layout sandbags and plant an old WWII howitzer in the center of it. lol)
As for what exactly what goes into the light bunker (soldier wise), what units, structures, and aircraft this general should have, and what type of super weapons he should have. I'll leave that up for open discussion. It will be interesting to hear your ideas on this general.
But please don't forget to suggest additional generals, like the original post from Forgotten_Soul had requested.
And I will say this again... This is an interesting hypothetical discussion here. Don't expect to see any of this actually happening in PR. Who knows, maybe this might lead to providing some inspiration for VG for new units for the regular Militia General's side. Anythings possible.
So fire away ladies and gentlemen!
