"War... War never changes. The reasons why we fight these wars remain much the same; some are fought to conquer, for religious and ideological beliefs, other wars are fought over gold, oil, spices – natural resources and money. Power is the key element. This war is no different - except there's nothing natural about Tiberium. The year is 1995 and we have just begun to open up our eyes to view a brave new future, some will come to say it's a horrific future. It is the Dawn of the Tiberian future." --- Tiberian Dawn is a total-conversion for the game Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars. Our goal is to bring C&C1;to a new engine, with enhanced features and graphics while also bringing back much of the classic style of gameplay while not taking steps back from what C&C3;implemented in the series as gameplay features. This is not of course our only goal - the idea of the total-conversion was inspired by an art piece by Godwin that showed the cruelty and bitter humanity of...

It's interesting that Nod gets AKs whilst GDI gets M16s but in the original C&C they both use the same rifles. I got nothing against that, the differentiation is great!

I'm just wondering about the logic. Because Nod gets Bradleys and other US made weapons systems but instead of M16s they now got AKs.

There once was a guy on your forum who suggested that you should replace the american made Bradleys with it's chineese counterpart (actually replaceing ALL american made weapons that Nod use with it's counterparts from different countries) but you where against that since it would go against cannon. Using that logic why is it okey to change the rifles then?

And as I have said, I think it's great that Nod and GDI got different weapons to increase the differentiation between the two. So nothing against that.

No need to argue.Kiddies want the same boring 100% replica of TD in C&C3.
Ironically,C&C3 is based on TD and has simmilar gameplay.
"This is why you dont ask the community about anything"

if you want a more logical basis,you would need to start modding yourself.
Most renegade models are free.You just need to convert them to C&C3 and you are a step forward.

While giving their troops some of the later AK variants does not seem that far off, I am slightly intrigued by the presence of what seems like the iconic but rather dated RPG-7 in their arsenal despite the fact that from what I remember, Nod kind of tended to prefer advanced tech in most if not all their stuff.
So wouldn't something like the RPG-29 (in service since 1989 in the real world) be a tad more...fitting?

I know it might be a bit late for bitching about details like this but it just kind of seems the thing either fits better into RA1 or the Soviet Afghan war, depending on when you think the story broke off from the real world.
It just seems odd to have turretless laser towers that can fry ships covering 360° arcs while using shoulder launched AT weapons originally built for tanks roughly two generations older than the Abrams.

To answer 2 questions here, Nod did indeed inherit a plethora of US- style tech and weaponry, as the official C&C storyline details, it was smuggled in via the black market. As for why the Nod rocket soldier and Minigunner have more "archaeic" technology, we have designed it this way as a conscious, cosmetic tradeoff, since the Brotherhood relegated the basic low-tech soldier to little more than cannon fodder, whereas the higher-tech soldiers got exponentially more impressive tech on their equipment.

As a contrast with GDI, who using a more structured military environment, had more of a typical, gradual tech tree, more in lime with the concept of discipline and uniformity.

More to come, we still have GDI commando to release ;)

That was EA's argument with adding the militant units in C&C 3.

Sadly, it kind of goes against the canon of the original games. This isn't some mob of ill-equipped insurgents we're talking about here. Nod is, for all intents and purposes, a stateless superpower.

I'm just saying I think the minigunner and rocket soldier should have something a bit more contemporary than an AK-47 and an RPG-7. AK-100 series if you want to keep the silhouette, maybe.

>> Quote: "Nod is, for all intents and purposes, a stateless superpower."
First of all, if we consider First Tiberium War's timeframe then we get BOTH GDI and Nod as a multinational superpowers, BOTH commanding loyalties of national governments (and, contrary to popular belief, according to the game (Tiberian Dawn) there were Nod-aligned countries with democratic governments and GDI-aligned countries with authoritarian governments), guerrila movements and outright terrorist groups. So, practically, as per First Tiberium War both Nod's and GDI's forces would be essentially composed of three uneven parts - fist are the GDI and Nod regular/quasi-regular troops, recruited and trained directly be one of the powers "from the ground up", the second (and the main bulk of each power's forces) are the regulars from the armies of the countries, aligned to respective power, the third are GDI-aligned and Nod-aligned guerrillas, resistance movements and outright terrorist groups.
PS: Main theme of conflict, as per Tiberium War One could be best described as globalism (embodied by the GDI) versus nationalism (promoted by Nod and used by the Brotherhood as a leverage). GDI's vision ultimately see a world united under a single multinational government, making common rules for business and trade across the globe, while Nod at the time publically promoted intstead nationalstic values of keeping the individual nations unique cultural differencies. However, while GDI is known to state it's general goals openly, Nod have differencies between "what said to public" and "what the Internal Circle and Kane himself" are up to.
>> Quote: "This isn't some mob of ill-equipped insurgents we're talking about here"
Militants in Third Tiberium War weren't against the canon in fact. Given the situation exploiting masses of disillusioned volunteers from Yellow Zones' inhabitants is quite logical for Nod.

I know this is too late and nobody will see it, but it is very curious what you wrote regarding the ideology of the Nod and the GDI and the thinking of the member countries of each faction.
It always seemed to me that the Nod represents globalist values ​​or thinking, while the GDI represents nationalism and the defense of cultural and ethnic identity against globalization.
So that my explanation is better understood I will say that I live in a Hispanic American country (unfortunately) I was born in that country and it is not something that in any way I would have chosen.
In the so-called third world countries they are poor for many reasons, most of them in hispanic America and Africa are artificial nations without identity and with people with different cultural and ethnic identities with nothing in common and forced to live together, not to mention that in several that in most of these nations they still suffer the consequences of the colonial past that condemns these countries to perpetual poverty.
Already making clear how a third world country is and how it works, what would happen if a meteorite suddenly fell with strange crystals that collided with the earth, fused with plant life and spread throughout the globe destroying ecosystems and spreading infections mortals, you think the Third World nations I already explained will be able to deal with such danger.
If in the midst of this crisis an organization appeared that would put people safe and provide help and services and contain the spread of the Tiberius, it is more than certain that people will be very favorable to that organization and will surely be willing to fight for she.
It is more if that organization shows that it will give a better government than that of its own countries, it will surely give control to that organization to live better and with safety, l make it clear that they have to demonstrate it and not make promises, the people of these regions are Accustomed to unfulfilled promises, they simply will not respond to the call of the brotherhood if it does not demonstrate that they will give a better and fair government.
I will explain it to you in a simple way, they live in artificial countries without history and with false identities and under heavy oppression, not to mention how disastrous their nations are.
If the Nod offers them a better life in exchange for their homelands and national identities and embrace globalism they will accept the deal.
Clarifies that this only applies to hispanic America, the Philippines, Africa and the Arab world, not to the rest of the world.
Regarding why I think that the GDI represents nationalism, you just have to look at who its most prominent members are: USA, Russia, Great Britain, Japan, Korea, India and several European countries, all of them are nationalists and in no way will they let an underground brotherhood take control no matter how beneficial it was, they would rather protect their independence and national identities.
The reasons why these nations defended their national identities, you already know if you live in any of them, it is more, because China, Iran, Turkey, Vietnam and most of the Asian nations are from the Nod, none of those countries would allow may the Nod control them.
I think Westwood put all his prejudices and ignorance of the real world in this game, the one that should be painted almost entirely in red are Hispanic America, the Philippines, Africa and the Arab world, much of Asia and that includes Turkey, Iran, China and Vietnam would have to be GDI, Brazil would also be GDI and South Africa of the Nod.
BTW, I'm using the google translator, sorry and my comment looks strange.
Finally, I am from the Nod and it is unfortunate that our soldiers are not equipped with their M16a2 rifles and their M47 Dragon or M72 LAW, it is also sad that they do not have their Outer Tactical Vest (OTV) and their Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH).
According to the lore of the game, the Nod had a highly disciplined and well-trained superior infantry from the beginning and until the end of the war. For its part, the GDI from early stages of the conflict began to suffer from shortages of good troops due to the large casualties suffered at the front and massive defections, at the end of the war the GDI infantry only had the advantage of numerical superiority.


By the way the existence in Hispanic America is more horrible than I wrote it and there is an evil and racist elite that is the origin of all evil, I simply ran out of caracteres to tell it.

I still do think the RPG-7 needs to be changed. As that thing is an ancient AT gun, but in the game its used against aircraft as well.

Well, the Mujahedin have been known to modify the things so they could be fired upwards at helicopters without injuring the user and there's the Mogadishu clusterfuck of 1993 which saw two Blackhawks permanently grounded but both of those kind of depended on fuckloads of dumb luck and all the aiming principles of the musket era.

By the way, I can't look forward to having to fork over a few grand to remedy that crap for the fodder thing as a Noddie in the advanced mode if doesn't get axed either, right?
Not that I'm complaining much. You've already given both sides much better weaponry than the 9mm Calico SMGs they seemed to be toying with in the original version.

What if the basic infantry have variable weapons (aesthetically of course) Like since GDI is UN some might have a G63, SG550, M16/M4, and other weapons on the 5.56mm NATO cartridge. Since NOD has black market they'd get AKs and other weapons common of guerrilla fighting forces around the world.

Well, lore-wise both GDI and Nod are multinational and draw their forces from around the globe. So - their infantry would use weapons from different countries.
Game-wise we are dealing with basic tier one infantry in RTS game - the devs simply made them visually different and that's all.
How to reconnect lore and gameplay? Just adding some imagination - while specifically these GDI soldiers seen with M16A2s and specifically these Nod soldiers seen with AK/AKM/Type-56s other GDI troops could use other weapons (be it AK-74, G-36 or whatever assault rifle your countrie's army use) and so with the other Nod troops.

The infantry look awesome, but I've gotta admit that the RPG-7, which was, in the C&C timeline, likely introduced way back in Red Alert 1 (~40 years before Tib' Dawn), would be totally obsolete as an anti-tank weapon in Tiberian Dawn's time period. Sure, the RPG-7 would be good back in RA1 when the first "Abrams" tanks just had old-fashioned steel armour, but 40 years later, GDI is using much more advanced versions (equivalent to our M1A2 Abrams) which, with their heavy layers of composite armour, would be far more resistant to the archaic RPG-7. Not to mention GDI's Mammoth Tank, which would be pretty much invulnerable to those.

Just saying, I understand the idea of giving Nod's cannon-fodder a lot of cheap, outdated weapons, but using an RPG-7 against a GDI M1A2 or Mammoth tank would be like using a 1930's anti-tank rifle against a Tiger Tank; It just wouldn't work.

Not like a contemporary AT rifle would do much to a tiger anyway. Shells several times the size of their bullets could bounce off. And I'm pretty sure a PG-7VR would bounce off a Mammoth in much the same manner. And that's the big version of RPG-7 ammo.
The RPG-29 is capable of piercing modern composite armour, though. That's why I suggested it.

No offence but, I don't like it.

The GDI soldiers look like today's US MARPAT issued Marine units.

The both Engies are a reskins of eachother but that's okay.

The NOD chem trooper looks like he's wearing a welder mask with a yellow visor. Which actually looks quite comical to me. I would suggest switching it to a some sort of a gasmask just to keep the terrifying visage the NOD units maintain.

The flamethrower unit looks okay. The regular soldier is my main concern. He looks like the VERY typical and a generic guerrila guy with a boonie hat, rolled sleeves and a AKM copy in hands. And that is soo unlike Brotherhood of NOD. The NOD is/was a quasi-religious superpower without a state with support from various countries & organisations from the world. Prior to EA's renditon of C&C there was no mention of NOD using half-trained gueriila forces and "willing" civviies (I'm talking about TW).

Their tech level in TD was on par with GDI, having access to LAV's, Apache gunships & other military gear which was almost all US based. Only the camo scheme being different and them using superior unorthodox tactics aganist the GDI's routine of war. In TS they have proved themselfs to beat the GDI in war tech (look at CABAL).

My point is that the NOD is NOT just a larger & unique guerrila force, it is a well-organised, well-equiped and motivated army utilising terror tactics, ruses & effective propaganda to win. Through the franchise their use of black & red as their main colour acted as a psychological "symbol" of their ruthlessness & cunning. More on next comment.

They were pioneeres in Tiberian research, first used NBC weapons aganist the enemy. It takes a alot of funds & time to create indivual weapons system which the NOD developed sucessfully to combat the GDI.

The RPG-7 with that current warhead would have been useless aganist most of the GDI armour IRL. But then again, I couldn't imagine NOD using any other AT execpt LAW or maybe the Carl Gustaf because of it's large selection of munitions.

It would look kind of strange to see NOD using masses of boonie hat wearing light infantry. The design also looks a bit like it was taken fom Act of War: Direct Action's Consortium faction Grunt unit.

I just can't fully agree with the vision of NOD using massed cheaply equiped & trained soldiers as frontline when having a small selection of "exotic" and fitting to their strategy units.

The Tiberian Sun NOD regulars appeared to be better then GDI, at least in the visual matter.

So yeah, I'm done with my yet another useless and totally un-informative rant. I just had to write it all.

Was it? Red Alert featured rocket soldier from both sides use "Dragon TOW missile launchers". And we don't know if any connection remained between Tiberium timeline and Red Alert's.

Well, got the point ) But if we consider that GDI tend to use "high-tech equipment" and since Russia is GDI-aligned in Tiberian Dawn that should rather be XM8s, G36s, L85A2 and AN-94 "Abakan" for GDI and M16A1, AKM, FN FAL, G3A3 for Nod.

The TW engine makes all the infantry the same and makes every model the same too, it was the previous and later engines that were more flexible with infantry since they were not squads.

The people who made both games said the two games are connected, you can see it in both of the campaigns.

The problem with these infantry is that Westwood wasn't big on research so much as making fantastic gameplay and storylines.

It is really not THAT simple. At some point during Red Alert 1's development they were connected and beta script of Red Alert contained explicit references to Nod brotherhood that were nearly all erased out of retail version. That the Red Alert 2 came out and thing got even more complicated. However, if we pursue option "Red Alert 1 and Tiberian Dawn storylines connected" with Red Alert 1 "as it is now" than it is even more interesting, since Tiberian Dawn's events could transpire only after the events of Soviet campaign, since Allied campaing lead directly to Red Alert 2 timeline.

Yeah, CnC Tiberian Dawn can ONLY take place in a Soviet victory timeline in RA 1 (if we are going with the two are connected theory)...Which would mean that Russia cannot really be part of GDI (as Kane was the one to put you in control of the USSR...ergo they would probably fight for Nod)...

On the contrary, Pro-GDI Russia in Tiberian Dawn is rather logical, considering that according to Nod's schemes USSR would have been "outlived its usefulness" by the beginning of 1990s.
It should also be noted, that Tiberian Dawn-era Nod was not an outright "tiberium-worshipping fanatics", Nod's "public face" at the time was, first of all, that of economic superpower (controlling 49% of world's tiberium harvesting and processing), slowly gaining open political power - first "taking hold" of "Third World" countries and then beginning to gain ground inside Western ones (with pro-Nod political parties represented inside Great Britain's House of Commons and USA's Congress at the eve of First Tiberium War).
PS: Such setup also casts doubt on claims of Vienna grain trade center's bombing being actually a work of Nod brotherhood (and canon do only state that bombing was BLAMED on "Nod terrorists" , but do not state who was responsible in fact).
