You cannot add new buttons to the interface since they are hardcoded into the game engine. In other words what you want would be impossible without the source code.
Would it be possilble to bolt a different type of gui interface onto Generals through a total conversion mod. This gui front end would have different components and be interactive. It would resemble a global perspective with different territories. These territories would be a clustering of maps that needed to be controlled to gain control of the territory. Each territory would resemple a mini-campaign. The user would then select wich territory to fight in and initiate their conquest. This would allow for some non-linear sequences to be faught.
I know this seems like quite a stretch but it would be pretty neat. EARTH2150 and EMPEROR both did something similar to this in their campaign modes.
Thanks-
