C&C 3 Original Campaign Balance Patch
Full Version 12 commentsThese are the game files you need to download to use this mod.
The campaign is extremely difficult, though not impossible, in patch 1.09. I have completed it on Normal with great difficulty, but on Hard some of the missions were just too grueling to be fun. I think it’s mostly due to the way patch 1.09 nerfed the economy. A harvester filled with tib pre-1.09 was worth 2400 credits (Blue tib 4800) whereas on the latest patch it is worth 1400 and 2800 respectively. The changes were meant to be multiplayer only, but had the unintended side effect of screwing with the campaign. This mod restores the economy to its original state and also gives the Crane the ability to produce defenses again (This also helps with the bonus objective in the Nod Washington D.C. mission).
NOTE: This mod is for the base game, not Kane's Wrath. The expansion does not suffer from this problem.
INSTALLATION:
Retail / Steam
-
Create a shortcut to CNC3, or find your existing game shortcut. Right-click and in the context menu choose 'Properties'. In the 'Target' field append '-ui' to the end of the existing path text.
Alternatively, in Steam, find CNC3, right-click and select 'Properties'. Enter '-ui' in the 'Launch Options' textbox.
-
Unzip the contents of the zip to "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars\Mods". If the folder(s) does not exist, create it.
-
Launch Tiberium Wars. A second launcher should pop up instead of the game. Choose Game Browser and navigate to the Mods tab. Select the mod and launch the game!
NOTE: See this video tutorial for a guided walkthrough.
EA App
IMPORTANT: EA royally screwed the mod menu in the new EA app, but the following less optimal procedure should work.
- Download and run the CNC3 Mod Installer (Direct link). It may take a minute for the program to load. After verifying the program has opened, close it.
- Unzip the contents of the zip to "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\CNC Mods\Tiberium Wars". If the folder(s) does not exist, create it.
- Launch the CNC3 Mod Installer. Select 'Tiberium Wars', highlight 'CNC3 Original' and click Play Mod. The mod will now be activated. You may continue to use this launcher or the original game shortcut to play CNC3.

I haven't used this mod yet but does it fix ai that stops attacking? Especially skirmish ai?
No
Is this just the crane and economy change or does it revert stuff like the mammoth tank nerf?
Only crane and economy
Felt the itch to play through again and Christ, they really ****** the campaign. Thanks for this!
Thank you so much for this. I knew some missions could be tough, but man some were absolutely demolishing me, even when going down to normal/easy. Now I know why, must've played an unpatched or less patched back in the day.
Only other comment from me is that to get this to work I had to use and instead of the & in the file name, but still perfect 10/10. Wish I would've used this earlier and saved myself a few hours of tedium in some missions!
This is manual how to install this mod on EA app version of the game without using CNC3 Mod installer which does not work for me anyway
1/
Download fixed launcher from Bibber.eu
And instal it will fix the CAC 3 TB and KW launcher (shortcut of the game on the desktop Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars and Kane's Wrath )
On fixed launcher right click properties and in the target add -ui on the end of the target "C:\Program Files\EA Games\Command and Conquer 3 TW and KW\CNC3Launcher.exe" -ui
Once done when opened we have a choice to launch TB or KW but it will not straight launch the game but You have the possibility option menu where is Game Browser tab
2/
-Open a Windows file browser window, type (or paste) "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\" in the address bar (again, without the quotes), and press [Enter] to go there.
-If there is no folder called "Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars"
in there, create it. (It will be probably missing just as in my case)
It has to be in this format the name of the file there has to be and u can not use & symbol it will not work if you name the file with & "Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars" it will not work for EA version it will not shown on the MODS in the game versions
-Inside that folder, create a folder call Mods, Replays and Screenshots
3/Put mod filles in Documents\Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars\Mods
Open Launcher - choose Game Browser - Mods - CNC3Original
Enjoy
I hope this will help somebody to run this awesome mode on EA version.
MANY THANKS TO CREATOR OF THIS MODE
On Windows 11 the path is different now.
C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\OneDrive\Documents\Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars
Yes, this is only if you use OneDrive, if you don't use OneDrive then it's the old path.
