Retaliation




It is revealed that General Solomon, and thus the GDI, are working alongside one, or potential many, members within the Brotherhood of NOD. Just how telling is this regarding the current disposition of forces between both major factions across the globe? So far it is unknown, but this could be very dangerous for either side, if it happened to be revealed to the population at large.






Somewhere east of Benghazi and South-West of Derna. Good luck finding an island there!




Location: Near Mechili, Libya
Objective: Capture the TV Station and destroy all of Hassan's forces in the area.

Briefing: Hassan spreads his propaganda to the Brotherhood through a nearby TV station. With the Brotherhood in chaos, the opportunity to divide Hassan from his followers presents itself. Capture the TV station and those once loyal to Kane's technology of peace will return to the fold. And as for Hassan's pathetic guards - crush them.

Author's note: A nice level, but it definitely feels like there's one specific way to do it right, which is almost the exact opposite of how I did it.

Rocket Infantry
RANGE: Medium
ARMOR: None
WEAPON: Bazooka

NOD’s heavy infantry carry a shoulder mounted rocket launcher that is effective against vehicles, structures, infantry and aircraft. Because of the increased weight of the rocket launcher, rocket infantry are slower than light battle infantry but are more heavily armoured.

Author's Note: The anti-vehicle infantry for the Brotherhood, it can target both ground and air units. Great in groups, but their vulnerability and slow speed are definite handicaps. The note on being heavily armoured is false, based on the rules.ini file.



Attack Buggy
RANGE: Short
ARMOR: Light
WEAPON: Raider Cannons

[There is no manual entry for this unit.]

Author's Note: An anti-infantry weapon platform that combines good damage and speed. While it is great against infantry, it suffers greatly when pitted against GDI vehicles apart from the Wolverine.



NOD Power Plant
ARMOR: Light
COST: 300
POWER USAGE: 0
POWER PROVIDED: 100
PURPOSE: Produces Power

Power Plants supply power to all structures in a base. Without enough power, structures will either not function at all or will function in a reduced capacity.

Author's Note: Unlike the GDI Power Plant, NOD does not have any upgrade modules.



Laser Turret
ARMOR: Light
COST: 300
POWER USAGE: 40
PURPOSE: Defensive turret for the Brotherhood of NOD

The Laser is Nod’s main base defence. Like its larger cousin, the Obelisk of Light, the laser fires a focused laser beam at enemy units. Recent advancements in laser technology allow the laser to generate its own power so that it can remain
operational during low power conditions.

Author's Note: The main form of defense for a NOD base's perimeter, its main advantage is being able to function while you are low on power.




Author's Note: The Tiberium Silo, War Factory, Harvester, and Engineer are functionally similar to their GDI entries, and their text is exactly the same for both sides. As a result, I have omitted them.
