History of Command & Conquer

*Global Defensive Initiative*

Founded October 12.1995,the Global Defense Initiative has always stood to
enforce the United Nations Global Defense Act by providing nation at war
with assistance,and to suppress terrorist acts.Not long after the
formation of GDI,were they forced to contend with the quasi-terrorist
group known as the Brotherhood of Nod,during the first great tiberium war.
They emerged victorious,and to this day have managed to maintain a way of
life among the planet's population despite the ever dangeroud alien
mineral,tiberium.
Now,twenty years later,the mineral continues to grow stronger and engulf
in an increasing amount of the earth's land mass.Rumor has it that the
leader of the Brotherhood,Kane has survived and is in the process of
rebuilding his empire.GDI is now faced with several new and dangerous
problems.Problems of such magnitude that only time will tell if they will
survive......


*Brotherhood Of Nod*

The Brotherhood of Nod,previously believed to be only a small terrorist
operations,are now considered to be the most powerful and well-equipped
organization out there.Their considerable economic and political strength
allows them to secretly purchase military hardware.
During the first tiberium war,Nod's leader Kane battled the Global Defense
Initiative for control of the alien mineral,Tiberium.Things didn't go well
for the Brotherhood and they were not successful.Kane was believed to be
killed when the Temple of Nod was destroyed.
Twenty years have passed.and Nod has moved underground to build up their
forces.Assuming the role of the leader is Hassan,and the Brotherhood plans
on making a second attempt at taking control of the Tiberium.But,there is
some turbulance within the Brotherhood,as it is rumored that Kane has
survived and he has quite a backing.Before they can start the attack on
GDI,they will have to settle their differences.And Nod doesn't settle it's
differences over a cup of tea......

*The Forgotten*

The Forgotten are a growing organization of people mutated by the alien
mineral,Tiberium.Many are former Nod soldiers who were experimented with in
the Brotherhood's search for the ultimate soldier,while others were mutated
by coming into contact with the deadly plant.But they are all rejected from
society and they aren't too happy about it.They have grown to be quite a
powerful group,with many of their own units to protect their cause,and are
willing to rent them to anyone willing to pay.Their cause is still yet to be
known,but whatever it is, it probably has something to do with revenge.They
are not to be underestimated and they want to make sure everyone knows it.


THE STRUCTURES

*GDI*

Construction yard
The most important structure in the entire game.All constructions of other
structures are handled here.In short if you happen to lose this sturcture,
you won't be available to build anything.

GDI power plant
The GDI power plant supplies power to emable other structure to function
to it's full power.A normal power plant supplies an amount of 100 power.

Tiberium refinery
The processing plant for tiberium harvested ny the harvester.Raw tiberium
that has been harvested are processed here in exchange for money which
allows you to purchase other units.

Barracks
This is where the GDI elite infantry forces are trained.With a GDI flag
hanging at the front,it shows the loyalty of GDI's elite force in protecting
the human race.

Power turbine
An add-on for GDI's power plant.When a turbine is added on an available slot
on a power plant,the power production of that certain plant will be increased.
Cheap and effective.

Tiberium silo
This is bassically a warehouse to store processed tiberium.All processed but
unused tuberium are stored here waiting to be spent.IF a silo has run out of
room,tiberium being processed won't be credited so make sure there is always
plenty of silo's available.

Radar
The radar is a structure that enables a GDI commander to have intelligence of
the enemy.When deployed,a map on your right taskbar will be visible allowing
you to view areas in a sector that has already been previously explaored.

Component tower
A tall erected tower for the purpose of defensive means.

Vulcan add-on
A vulcan cannon to be added on a component tower.Excellent for handling
infantry units but useless agaisnt high armoured tanks.

RPG add-on
Another add-on for the component tower.Superb for handling very high armoured
vehicle and even infantries.The only drawback is has is it's very slow firing
rate.

SAM add-on
Missile launchers that can only provide cover on air attacks.Not that effective
but it does the job to keep pesky air crafts at bay.

GDI war factory
Ah....the place where all kick-ass GDI mobile vehicles are assembled.From
towering mechs to four-legged tanks,this place has it all.

Concrete wall
Defensive walls to provide cover from enemy fire.Virtually useless as a few shots
even from the most pathetic cannons can bring it down.

Gate
As they name says,a gate to shield bases from enemy fire.

Pavement
Stone slabs that can be deployed around bases to stop pesky NOD burrowing vehicles
from appearing out of no where in the middle of your base.

Service depot
A repairing bay which repairs all mechanical units for a small price.Very slow and
only 1 unit can be repaired at a time so that makes it uneconomical.

GDI tech center
This is where GDI scientist are continously developing new technology to counter Nod
forces.Once constructed,other advance structures can be constructed.

Helipad
Reloading bay for orca aircrafts to reload ammunition.

EMP cannon
A cannon that generates a powerful electro magnetic pulse blast.Once the blast hits
a mechanical unit,it will be temporarily offline where you can move in for the kill.
Very slow at regenerating but a worthy weapon nevertheless.

GDI upgrade center
An upgrade center providing slots to be added once new technology has been developed.

Fire storm generator
The fire storm generator provides fire storm defense which is strong enough to even
keep out chemical missiles.As long as a fire storm compartment is built in the perimeter
of your base,you're quite safe from enemy nukes.

Ion cannon uplink
An add-on for the upgrade center.2 uplinks can be added on to increase the power of the
all time favourite-ION CANNON which i don't think i need to elaborate on how powerful it
is.



*NOD*

Construction yard
Has the same purpose of the GDI's con yard.All construction are handled here in this
facility.

Nod power plant
Supplies power to other structures.

TIberium refinery
Processes raw tiberium into money with the aid of a harvester.

Hand of Nod
The training ground for all Nod infantry troops.This high-tech facility even experiments on
mutants which is evident as the production of cyborgs are also handled here.

Nod wall
A wall to shield your base from enemy fire.Very weak but luckily the cost to construct a gate
is very cheap.

Gate
I don't think i need to explain the purpose of this structure twice.

Laser
Nod's first defensive structure.It fires a beam of light thus incinerating enemies.Weak but
at
least it has a fast firing rate to counter for it's weak firing laser.

Tiberium silo
As identical as GDI's,the tiberium silo stores unused processed tiberium.

Nod war factory
Here is where the cream of the Nod mobile vehicles are constructed.Powerful mechanical units
are being produced whenever orders are issued and provided there are enough funds to assemble
the units.

Nod radar
Provides radar for a Nod commander to spot enemy intelligence.

Emp cannon
Freezes mechanical units for a short period of time.The powerful Emp blast covers a certain
radius thus allowing multiple units to be stopped.The only drawback is that the range of this
particular cannon is not that great.

SAM
Provides defensive measures against aeriel GDI aircrafts.Strong and very reliable.It's just
too bad it's not mobile so using rocket infantries is a better option.

Helipad
A landing site and reloading bay for Nod Harpees and of course their very advance Banshees.

Nod tech center
Once constructed,other advance structures will be available to be built.

Advanced power plant
An upgraded version of the Nod power plant.It produces twice the amount of energy a normal
power plant will so it is an obvious choice over it's predecessor.

Laser fence post
A higher technology version of the wall.This fence post is surrounded by laser beams.It is
very highly armored so it's ideal to cover up the perimeter of your base provided you can
find enough flat terrain to build it on.

Stealth generator
This interesting but costly structure will cloack any units or buildings in it's surrounding.
A good way to defend your base from incoming attacks and also to suprise your enemy with
defensive obelisks.Be aware though that it eats up a lot of power so be sure to have sufficient
power before deploying it.
