The authors introduce the general compromise value for cooperative games with transferable utility. With respect to a set of potential payoffs of which the maximal and minimal potential payoff vectors are regarded as the upper and lower bounds for players, the unique pre-imputation lying on the straight line segment with these two vectors as the extreme points is defined as the general compromise value. Potential-consistency and maximal proportional property are introduced to characterize the general compromise value.
