[. . . ] 87 "We have waited centuries for this moment. The rivers will flow with the blood of those who oppose us. " -- Kane, suspected leader of the Brotherhood of Nod (Global Net Interpol, file #GEN4:16) HISTORY THE BROTHERHOOD OF NOD Commonly, The Brotherhood, The Ways of Nod, ShaÆSeer among the tribes of Godan; see INTERPOL File ARK936, Aliases of the Brotherhood, for more. FOUNDED: Date unknown: exaggerated reports place the Brotherhood's founding before 1, 800 BC IDEOLOGY: To unite third-world nations under a pseudo-religious political platform with imperialist tendencies. In actuality it is an aggressive and popular neo-fascist, antiWest movement vying for total domination of the world's peoples and resources. Operates under the popular mantra, "Brotherhood, unity, peace". [. . . ] Once one is found, convert the MCV into a full-service Construction Yard and use it to build other structures. Since this vehicle is slow, unarmed, and expensive, you will want to keep it well guarded with other units. GDI UNITS HARVESTER ARMOR: HEAVY COST: 1400 SECONDS TO PRODUCE: 93 RANGE: N/A WEAPON: NONE This armor-plated vehicle seeks out and scoops up raw Tiberium, then transports it to refineries for processing.

HOVER CRAFT ARMOR: HEAVY COST: N/A SECONDS TO PRODUCE: N/A RANGE: N/A WEAPON: NONE This heavily-armored unit deploys men and vehicles during amphibious assault.

When playing as GDI in the solo play missions, destroying all Nod SAM sites will give you access to the A-10 airstrikes. Since the A-10 bombs in a line, it is a good idea to pick a target that is part of a group. You can do damage to more enemies this way. GUNBOAT ARMOR: HEAVY COST: N/A SECONDS TO PRODUCE: N/A RANGE: LONG WEAPON: TOMAHAWK MISSILE Heavily armored, and armed with surface-to-surface missiles, this unit is the backbone of GDI's naval forces.

When playing as Nod against GDI in the solo play missions, destroying the GDI's Radar Facility will keep GDI from launching A-10 airstrikes against you. 46 ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS CENTER/ION CANNON ARMOR: HEAVY COST: 2800 SECONDS TO PRODUCE: 186 POWER USAGE: 200 PURPOSE: PARTICLE BEAM CANNON An upgrade to the Communications Center, this structure not only provides radar, but is the uplink center for the Ion Cannon--GDI's most devastating weapon. Once charged, it can unleash a blast on an unsuspecting target. The Ion Cannon requires power to charge: If your base is under powered, it will stop. To fire, left click on the Ion Cannon icon in the sidebar. GDI STRUCTURES WEAPONS FACTORY ARMOR: MEDIUM COST: 2000 SECONDS TO PRODUCE: 133 POWER USAGE: 30 PURPOSE: PRODUCES HEAVY VEHICLES & AIR POWER This structure builds GDI's vehicles. It is well armored, but is also a favorite target for enemy Engineers. If your Weapons Factory is captured, not only do you lose the ability to build vehicles, but the enemy is able to build your vehicles in addition to his own. Building multiple Weapons Factories will decrease the amount of time it takes to create a vehicle. HELIPAD ARMOR: MEDIUM COST: 1500 SECONDS TO PRODUCE: 100 POWER USAGE: 10 PURPOSE: HELICOPTER LANDING Building the Helipad allows the use of the ORCA attack aircraft. The Helipad is also the rearming station for the ORCA. If the Helipad is lost, the ORCA will not be able to reload. Any ORCA can use any Helipad on your side. 47 REPAIR FACILITY ARMOR: LIGHT COST: 1200 SECONDS TO PRODUCE: 80 POWER USAGE: 30 PURPOSE: VEHICLE REPAIR The repair facility allows you to repair damaged units. Moving a vehicle onto the repair pad will begin the repair process. [. . . ] If your forces are wiped out, build 10 to 15 Minigunners and send them all at once. You should be able to see the GDI barracks, where their Minigunners are created, as well as some silos, a refinery, and a construction yard. You can destroy all the structures in the GDI base in the same way you do Minigunners, simply by targeting them. However, you can capture their structures instead, which would be much more advantageous. USING ENGINEERS Build a couple of engineers and send them over to the GDI base behind your other forces.
