GOING AFTER TIBERIUM

Now that you own a Refinery,

you can harvest Tiberium. Explore

the area until you find some

Tiberium (the green crystals that

are growing out of the ground).

There should be some along the

west edge of the map.

If you captured the Refinery with

the Harvester in it, you will own

the Harvester as well. This unit is

used to collect the Tiberium. The

Harvester has no weapon, and

aside from heavy armor, it isn’t suited to be put in combat situations.

If you have discovered any Tiberium, the Harvester will automatically move towards it and begin

to harvest it. This is an automatic process that you shouldn’t worry about. If you haven’t locat-

ed any, you will have to send the Harvester out.

If you don’t see any Tiberium, select some of your other units and scout around until you

do find Tiberium. Once you have, select just the Harvester, and target the Tiberium. Left click,

and the Harvester will begin to gather the crystals. See the manual for more information on

the Harvester and how to control it in certain instances.

STORING THE TIBERIUM

The Refinery can hold up to 1000 credits worth of Tiberium. Once you collect beyond that

number you will have to Silos to hold the excess amount. Silos can hold 1500 credits of

Tiberium. Since you can’t build one right now, you may want to capture one like you cap-

tured the Refinery. If you don’t have a Silo, and run out of storage space, any credits that

you didn’t have space for are LOST, so make sure you always have some space available.

TAKING OVER THE BASE

Now it’s time to build an Infantry

Barracks in the enemy’s base.

Follow the steps you’ve already

learned to do this. Be sure that

you place your new Barracks next

to the Refinery that you captured.

When you’re done, make the

new Barracks the “Primary” struc-

ture. To do this, select Barracks by

left clicking on it, and a “Primary”

label will appear beneath the

Barracks. All infantry you build in

this mission will now emerge from this building.

Make sure you destroy all Nod troops around and in your newly-acquired base. From here,

it’s just a clean up job. You can choose to either destroy or capture the remaining build-

ings. Be sure all Nod units are destroyed and all Nod structures are either destroyed or cap-
