The unofficial expansion mod to CNC3 Tiberium Wars is the enhanced version of Kane's Wrath Reloaded. This mod is where the beloved C&C series shall end its conclusion from CNC4.
This is not a new idea at all. But it works ingame just like every Protoss structure in the Starcraft series would do. This is the first and only experimental structure in Shield-98 faction to take shield damage before taking structural damage before a shield recovery. This Drone Platform has a shield but without the shield art model. In the next release of C&C3 TA, all Shield-98 structures all provide shield protection without shield models. For the Scrin, Reaper-17 and Traveler-59 factions, those structures will be provided shield protection with a research upgrade.
Now if anyone thinks you can put shields on an infantry or vehicle squad, not such a good idea. It'll take a longer time to eliminate them unless if it's an individual unit.
