#COMMAND AND CONQUER TIBERIAN SUN HOW TO#

Action Girl: In Sun, Umagon is a mutant soldier who sure knows how to fight.The Core Defender also has no means of detecting stealth units, so if you've completely stealthed your base it will simply walk to its location and stand there dumbly.If you're either very lucky or launch it after taking out everything else on the map, it can turn a nightmarish fight into an embarrassing (for the Defender) Curbstomp Battle. CABAL's Core Defender in its packed-up state is completely invincible to anything you can throw at it, with one exception: the humble Hunter-Killer drone.GDI's Mammoth Mk II can launch missiles at air units, but they're so weak that it's just as screwed if the opposing player can field a decent air force. Nod's Cyborg Commando is an absolute beast in ground combat but completely defenseless against aircraft.Others suffer from Crippling Overspecialization by relying almost completely on one type of defense (anti-ground or anti-air) instead of mixing them up. This often takes the form of a hidden, barely defended backdoor into the base that leads directly to its power plant park or construction yard. Most enemy main bases in the campaigns have a glaring flaw in their layout that players can exploit if they discover it in time.Nod harvests the tentacles of tiberium vein monsters and processes the stuff into corrosive and highly mutagenic tiberium gas for use in missile warheads.

GDI upgraded their grenadiers' loadout from standard hot potatoes to disc-shaped grenades, which can be thrown farther than standard grenades and can bounce off of the ground a few times to let them reach even farther.Ability Depletion Penalty: You can freely activate and deactivate the Firestorm Defense system without having to wait for it to recharge but if you deplete it, you will have to wait for it to recharge entirely before you can use it again.

A crashed alien spaceship and an extraterrestrial artifact called the Tacitus hint at a larger purpose behind Tiberium, but ultimately Kane's attempt to use a missile to increase Tiberium's spread is thwarted with the man's death (again). As governments break down and GDI does its best to bring order from the chaos, Kane reappears to lead a reunified and invigorated Nod into battle once more. Set in 2030, tiberium is now spreading unchecked, forcing humanity to flee to the arctic or desert regions that can at least slow the substance's progress.
