NOD TUTORIAL -2

lect Tiberium. It has no weapon, and aside from heavy armor, it isn’t suited to be put in com-

bat 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 manually once some Tiberium is discovered.

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

On your construction bar, you should notice that you now have another option: a silo. Silos

can hold 1500 credits of Tiberium, and since your refinery can only hold, 1000, it is a good

idea to build one to hold excess credits. If you don’t build 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.

BUILDING MORE TROOPS

Now that you have some money

coming in, you can build a Hand

of Nod (the barracks for Nod’s

forces). This structure will allow

you to train all of your Minigunner-

type units. Build this structure in the

same way that you built the others.

Place this one closer toward the

part of the map that you don’t

know much about. This way,

Minigunners will be closer to the

front lines, so they can respond to

threats quickly.

At this point in the game, you can only build two types of units: Minigunners and engineers.

Minigunners are your standard troops and will be used for much of the game to take out

tanks or guard your base.

Engineers are special units that are only used to capture enemy structures. These come in to

use a bit later in this mission, so for now, just build some Minigunners.

From here, you can choose what you want to build. The more Refineries that you build, the

faster your money will come in. When more than one barracks is built, Minnigunners can be

created faster. Usually, it is a good idea to have two refineries going at once, so you may want

to build another one.
