Modifications and Variations
PeG is the most easily customized of SSI's Generals games for several reasons:
- More flexible file structures which SSI introduced with PG2 are easier to quickly modify and test;
- Powerful game editing tools are available which enable customization of the game executable, scenarios, maps, equipment files, icons and game interface graphics.
- Substantial research has been done on the game dynamics defined in the program.
PeG has produced two main streams of customization:
- Modifications which alter elements of the game executable (program code) but retain the modern warfare focus of game play;
- Variations which use the original game executable but focus on a different era and change the appearance to match.
The PeG community includes active and creative proponents of both approaches.

Famous quotes containing the word variations:
“I may be able to spot arrowheads on the desert but a refrigerator is a jungle in which I am easily lost. My wife, however, will unerringly point out that the cheese or the leftover roast is hiding right in front of my eyes. Hundreds of such experiences convince me that men and women often inhabit quite different visual worlds. These are differences which cannot be attributed to variations in visual acuity. Man and women simply have learned to use their eyes in very different ways.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
