NO when i grow up I want to be GDI not Nod

[starwarsfan117]

@SlyNicolai well isn't that the biggest misunderstanding ever in existence?

hehe but nod has a few more objectives on the agenda

[Mashermat]

@SlyNicolai

Same goal, different methods.

[TheBlitz1]

EA couldnt make anything this good ever, not even 10 20 or 30 years later

[tuktuktok]

When I grow up I want to join NOD.

[HADESRULE44]

why they always lose (storyline wise considering they always go with GDI based ending stories)

[5master11111]

@HADESRULE44 because if Nod wins, there's no point to war. any potential resistance would have thereby been crushed.

no war, no story, no game.

@tuktuktok

Remember, it's Nod, not NOD.

The substance is named as such because it was first discovered near the river Tiber in Italy. Kane, who claims it was in fact the Brotherhood who first discovered Tiberium, states that he himself named it after Tiberius Drusus Julius Caesar.

@Hosea22 dude no one cares

[Hosea22]

In Tiberian Dawn and Tiberian Sun, it will spread very slowly in-game but primarily comes from special Tiberium-generating Blossom Trees, infested trees that release Tiberium spores into the air; in Tiberium Wars, these trees are replaced by Tiberium Fissures in the Earth's crust, and Tiberium will not spread outside a certain radius of these fissures. Either way, it is harvested by vehicles called harvesters. As a currency, Tiberium is collected to build structures and to train units.

[MrJakys1234566]

@Hosea22 and your telling every one this why?

[Hosea22]

Tiberium can be thought of as, in effect, a commodity, with everything that one builds in the game costing Tiberium-based credits. It can appear anywhere on Earth, but spreads much more slowly in areas of extreme cold climate.

[Hosea22]

In the context of the gameplay, Tiberium can also be seen this way with its obvious tactical advantage as a resource, and its destructive effect on infantry, sometimes transmuting them into Visceroids.

[Hosea22]

Tiberium is presented as a double-edged sword within the context of the story arc of the respective video games. While it is the greatest mineral resource ever encountered, conveniently gathering many potent elements into an easily harvestable form, it also brings with it considerable hazards: areas rich with the rapidly spreading Tiberium substance are eventually exhausted of their native ecosystems, and become too toxic to support normal carbon-based life.

[Hosea22]

Tiberium has extra-terrestrial origins and comes in a variety of forms, mostly the common green crystal, but also in the form of more rare blue crystals and in the form of "veins". It does not naturally exist in a liquid state, but can be artificially made to exist that way in Tiberium Wars.

[Hosea22]

Tiberium is a fictional substance that is central to the plot of much of the Command & Conquer series of real-time strategy video games. Within each C&C title set in the Tiberium story arc (Command & Conquer Tiberian Dawn, Tiberian Sun and Tiberium Wars), the Tiberium crystals represent both the tools and spoils of war and are used by players to purchase new units and buildings, with each of the series' factions either directly or indirectly battling for control over the crystals.

I love how they are explaining tiberium.
