Unlock Boss General

[Gengen la gégène]

Hey all !
I have a question : is there a simple way to unlock Boss General (General Leang) ?
On CD version it was easily doable by changing INIZH.big file (for "StartsEnabled" set "yes" instead of "no"), but when I try this on Steam version it provokes a crash (game no longer starts).
I'm looking for the original version of boss general, not a rebalanced one through a mod...
Have a nice day !

No idea how to make her playable on skirmish or challenge as her own sub faction but I once made a Leang's construction dozer command button on my command center and build it. The dozer can build up Leang's tech from the original challenge so you can still pretty much 'play as her' , that's the simplest method I did though. It didn't have her general experience abilities unless you further modify the game files.

Thank you for your reply, I've finally found a simple solution, by editing INIZH.big file with FinalBIG instead of Notepad...and it works perfectly. But IA is unable to play her in skirmish

Generals/Zero Hour have their own ini files stored in a file called "INI*.BIG", which you can extract with FinalBIG editor. You can find some repositories with these ini files already extracted, too.

As for unlocking, you need to place a file in the game's root/Data/INI called "ChallengeMode.ini", and change the line "StartsEnabled = no" to yes under "GeneralPersona9" section. You'll then be able to play it. However, not against it, because it has no AI in regular maps.
