| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series (Video Game) | comment |
The Tiberium saga is the "main" Command & Conquer series, the continuation of the story introduced in 1995 involving the multinational Global Defense Initiative, the shadowy Brotherhood of Nod, and an alien substance known as Tiberium, which arrived to Earth in a meteor crash in Italy, 1995, and began spreading throughout the world; its rich energy properties and ability to leech minerals out of the ground make it a highly valuable asset.The first game, later given the subtitle Tiberian Dawn, was set 20 Minutes into the Future with a smattering of sci-fi elements such as alien crystals, stealth technology, and orbital lasers. A terrorist organization operating from various Third World nations known as the Brotherhood of Nod harnesses the power of Tiberium to challenge the rest of the world on equal footing, under the leadership of the charismatic and enigmatic Kane. The UN-backed Global Defense Initiative, a military coalition dedicated to restoring order and containing the spread of Tiberium, manages to hold the line and defeat Nod, killing Kane in the process. The game was followed by a plot-free expansion pack, The Covert Operations, a multiplayer-only sequel named Sole Survivor, and Renegade, an FPS that boasts an active modding community and a small but dedicated fanbase.Tiberian Sun, the second installment in the series, is set in 2030. Tiberium is now spreading unchecked, forcing humanity to flee to the arctic or desert regions that can at least slow the substance's progress. As governments break down and GDI does its best to bring order from the chaos, Kane reappears to lead a reunified and invigorated Nod into battle once more. A crashed alien spaceship and an extraterrestrial artifact called the Tacitus hint at a larger purpose behind Tiberium, but ultimately Kane's attempt to use a missile to increase Tiberium's spread is thwarted with the man's death (again). The game was followed by the Firestorm expansion, in which Nod's battle AI, CABAL, revolts and leads a cyborg uprising, forcing GDI and the remnants of Nod to unite to defeat him.Tiberium Wars is set seventeen years later in a starkly stratified world. GDI has succeeded in containing Tiberium in areas dubbed Blue Zones, which are bastions of civilization and relative paradises compared to the rest of the planet. Yellow Zones are lawless wastelands where daily life is a struggle and Nod is seen as the last hope of the common man. Red Zones, meanwhile, have been wholly xenoformed by Tiberium and are stormwracked hells lethal to humans. Kane reemerges once more to launch a surprise attack on a complacent GDI, whose retaliation has an unintended side effect - an alien race called the Scrin suddenly invades, seeking to harvest Earth's Tiberium bounty. The aliens are narrowly driven off, while Kane succeeds in his plan to acquire their technology. An expansion pack, Kane's Wrath, introduced sub-factions to the three sides and had a Nod-centric campaign telling the story between Firestorm and Tiberium Wars, and what came after. It also details Kane's reacquisition of the Tacitus artifact from GDI, who had taken possession of it in Tiberian Sun.The fourth and final installment, Tiberian Twilight, is set in 2077. In the aftermath of the Third Tiberium War, the alien crystal mutates and becomes almost impossible to stop. Faced with human extinction, Kane and GDI struck an unholy alliance to build a "Tiberium Control Network", using information from Kane's Tacitus. Though this brings about an uneasy peace, contains Tiberium's spread and begins a new stage of harnessing its potential, GDI reactionaries and Nod separatists once more plunge the world into conflict. The story ends with a triumphant Kane finally achieving his millenia-old ambitions and the Tiberium menace ended once and for all.The future of the series is uncertain, given that quite a few plot threads are left dangling in the last game. The latest release in this canon was a browser game called Tiberium Alliances set between Tiberium Wars & Tiberian Twilight, but it didn't have much of a story.There is a game in public beta testing for mobile phones called Command & Conquer: Rivals, set between 3 and 4.Please note that this page is for tropes that cover multiple games in the Tiberian series. Please add tropes relating to one specific game to that game's page. Also place character specific tropes to the Character Page. | |

Crate Expectations | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series (Video Game) / int_14e569d5 | comment |
Crate Expectations: All games in the series make use of neutral crates that any unit can pick up for cash, unit healing, unit veterancy, improved unit firepower/armor/speed, entire additional unitsnote up to and including a friggin' MCV, in particularly rare cases even one of the opposing faction or other, similar goodies. However, crates in Tiberian Dawn and Tiberian Sun also had a not-insignificant chance to screw you over one way or another, by doing things like releasing clouds of Deadly Gas, resetting the Fog of War, spawning a hostile tiberium mutant, or simply blowing up with enough force to One-Hit Kill whatever picked up the crate and anything in their immediate vicinity. This was removed in Tiberium Wars and its successors where crates are always beneficial. | |

Live-Action Cutscene: Live-Action is used for every cutscene in every game, except for Command & Conquer: Renegade. Westwood Studios's casting director, Joseph Kucan, played the series' Big Bad Kane in every game after recording some placeholder footage for the first entry. Later entries included more high-profile names like Tricia Helfer and Billy Dee Williams. | |

All There in the Manual | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series (Video Game) / int_17ce80aa | comment |
According to the manual, averted in Tiberian Sun: GDI actually does consider the possibility that Kane's hello message was faked, so they have it thoroughly analyzed. The report concludes that while there are some anomalies, they're not sufficient for it to be an actual fake (they theorize that the anomalies are the result of some sort of amplification). The implication is that the anomalies are there because Kane is consistently faking half his face when he sends his messages — when he's shown in person at the end of the GDI campaign, there's a metal plate over half his face, and some scarring still visible just beyond it. | |

Name of Kane: In the original game's manual, Kane's dossier is listed as "Global Net Interpol, file #GEN4:16." The Bible quote in question is "And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and took up residence in the Land of Nod." This is given a Continuity Nod in Command & Conquer: Red Alert, where Nadia quotes the same verse in the Soviet ending, in Kane's presence. | |

Batman Gambit: Several times by Kane, including against his own side (the sacrifice of millions of his own followers at Sarajevo in Tiberium Wars being a horrific example). GDI pull one off in Tiberian Dawn, tricking Nod into thinking that infighting has killed off their funding, crippling them. This allows them to position themselves in such a way that they can wipe Nod's Temple/leader off the face of the earth. | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series (Video Game) / int_420c50b7 | comment |
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: CABAL in Tiberian Sun. Seemingly Slavik is the only one quite aware of this that he is the only one of Nod's leading officers to never use cyborgs as personal bodyguards. Invoked by the Supervisor in Tiberium Wars when he demands that the Foreman reformat his mothership after it starts showing signs of insubordination. In the meantime, the Mothership AI actually looks out for the Foreman's best interests, snarking about the Supervisor's "questionable directives" and forming exit strategies once it's clear the entire operation is in danger. Subverted with LEGION in Kane's Wrath. Alexa is absolutely certain that LEGION will go rogue like CABAL (understandable as LEGION's code was built on CABAL's) but this never happens. | |

Dropped a Bridge on Him: Anton Slavik in Kane's Wrath. After helping save the world and rebuild Nod in Firestorm, he ends up assassinated. Thought to have occurred to Michael McNeil in Firestorm, but shows up alive in the novelization of Tiberium Wars. On the other hand. in Firestorm Umagon ends up mutating out of control, and the crash of the Kodiak kills Lt. Chandra, McNeil's second-in-command. Firestorm was not kind to McNeil. | |

Energy Weapon: Nod's signature weaponry. It started as early as the first game with the Obelisks of Light, defensive towers that melted tanks with ruby rays of death, Tiberian Sun featured laser fences, and by Tiberium Wars many Nod vehicles can be upgraded to use them. | |

Ridiculously Fast Construction | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series (Video Game) / int_4987746e | comment |
Ridiculously Fast Construction: Justified, since Tiberium allows almost any material to be harvested in the field, and its energy properties enable microfabricators and nanofactories to be used in the production facilities. The Scrin also construct things with nano-assemblers, and teleport most of their forces from their fleet at the edge of the Solar System via wormhole portals. | |

Technology Marches On | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series (Video Game) / int_4b17763f | comment |
Technology Marches On: invoked The original game plays around with this with the weapons presented in game - then-new weapons like the M4 rifle and F-22 Raptor had been effectively abandoned by the US military in-series, allowing Nod to get their hands on them. Frequent justification for units switching around or changing between games. For example, in Tiberium Wars, Zone Troopers and their variant are Elite Mooks. By Tiberian Twilight they're just mooks, but there are a number of variations, at least two of which are still elite mook-grade. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Tiberium Dawn is more or less the only game in the series where Nod really waves around their villain card, with multiple missions tasking you with wiping out civilian villages to make a point. Unlike GDI forces, Nod troops automatically open fire on nearby civilians, and civilian buildings can be attacked at any time regardless of whether the mission calls for it or not. Blowing up villages with a Commando even counts towards the "blow up 100 buildings with the Commando" achievement in the Remastered collection, and one late-game mission has so many villages that the achievement can be "earned" there almost in one go. You Bastard! However... | |

Body Horror: Tiberium has a tendency to do this to living things. Assuming you survive exposure to Tiberium at all, the best case scenario is you spend the rest of your life as a deformed mutant. In the worst case, you become a horrible blob of flesh and mouths, called a visceroid. | |

| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series (Video Game) / int_535ec99d | comment |
Non-Entity General: Well, what could you expect? It's Command And Conquer, after all, keeping the fourth wall demounted since 1995! As much as the series love exploiting this trope, though, the original Tiberian Sun washes it off, by letting the player know that he controls Mike McNeil (as GDI) or Anton Slavik (as Nod) through the cutscenes. Becomes somewhat symbolic when, at one point of the game (or two, actually), you get to neutralize the enemy faction's commander. Firestorm gets back to the old routine, however. Furthermore, Tiberian Sun retroactively establishes that the player character in Tiberian Dawn was Solomon. | |

Super Prototype: From Tiberian Sun, the Mammoth Mk. II is absolutely powerful and armed to the teeth. Unfortunately, it also falls into Awesome, but Impractical. The Purifier Warmech is precursor to the Avatar, and is Simple, yet Awesome. It's not as advanced as the Avatar, and unable to upgrade itself. The biggest sell though, is how it's equipped with on-board flamethrower that can be upgraded with Purifying Flamesnote this not only gives a major damage boost to flame weapons, but also lets them deal full damage against anything that isn't airborne, including any and all vehicles. It is not an exaggeration that if just one of them actually manages to get into your base uncontested, it can raze your entire base in less than one minute by simply walking through it because, unlike the Avatar, it can shoot on the move. | |

Death World | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series (Video Game) / int_63557923 | comment |
Death World: In Dawn, Tiberium's just a few patches of crystals growing in scattered fields. In Sun, humanity has relocated to a few isolated safe zones while the world is wracked by ion storms, monstrous mutants, desertification, and the unstoppable advance of Tiberium. By Wars, only 20% of Earth remains safe, and portions of it are completely uninhabitable to non-mutated life. And then the Tiberium Control Network in Twilight suddenly and miraculously reverses the trend, though the landscape still resembles a mostly barren desert after decades of Tiberium irradiation. The situation by Tiberium Wars is not quite so bad as that makes it seem, however — the worst off regions of Earth are worse off than in Sun, but not only are the best off zones better off, GDI is suggested to be at least holding Tiberium at bay or even slowly pushing it back. Then the game's conflict tramples all over the best off zones, and as Twilight indicates the events leads to tiberium 'mutating' to be immune to the method GDI had used for Tiberium control. | |

Crystal Landscape: Tiberium can grow and extrude green or blue crystals. These crystal fields can spout out of the land, a rich source of resources... and full of dangers. Tiberium emits radiation, mutates lifeforms (including turning corpses into blob monsters), and can keep on growing without stopping. By the events of Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars, whole countries are covered in the stuff, with glowing rock glaciers and dried up bays full of crystals. | |

Hostile Terraforming | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series (Video Game) / int_666648a3 | comment |
Hostile Terraforming: The series centers around humanity adjusting to a world being transformed by the eponymous Technicolour Crystaltech - which not only transforms the atmosphere and the ecosystem, but also extracts useful minerals from the Earth's crust for easy harvesting when the invaders finally arrive in person. | |

Biblical Bad Guy | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series (Video Game) / int_66dc50e1 | comment |
Biblical Bad Guy: Kane is implied to be Cain (in Renegade, you actually find Abel's tomb), or at least the person who inspired the story, which certainly puts an interesting spin on the whole "anyone who kills Cain will have retribution brought upon them sevenfold" thing. Makes sense, if one realizes that Nod has brought back even bigger forces every single time GDI "won". | |

Revive Kills Zombie | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series (Video Game) / int_6b486b81 | comment |
Revive Kills Zombie: Walking through Tiberium depletes normal infantry's health and will eventually kill them and turn them into Visceroids. On the other hand, mutant and cyborg units (as the human part of cyborgs is also derived from mutants) actually heal while walking through Tiberium. In Renegade this is extended to Tiberium-based weapons like the chem sprayer and flechette rifle, which mess up regular infantry good, but heal visceroids (which they occasional turn regular infantry into, rather than killing them normally) and mutants. Sad, too, because the majority of these weapons you don't get until you're fighting almost nothing but mutants. | |

Techno Babble: Any attempts by the franchise at explaining even some of Tiberium's nature are generally rife with technical-sounding jargon. In the first Command & Conquer, Dr. Moebius giddily offers the following when asked on a live talk show what Tiberium is: For Command and Conquer 3, EA took things up a notch and commissioned scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to "provide a white paper describing the biophysics of Tiberium, its atomic structure, its method of transmutation, the form of the radiation that it emits, and the way to harness it for powering machinery and weapons — giving it the same treatment as would be suitable for a scientific journal article on a real substance." Actually, an interesting read. | |

Minovsky Physics | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series (Video Game) / int_6d6945da | comment |
Minovsky Physics: Tiberium as of Wars. Before then it had been poorly understood, but the latest is thus: Tiberium is a Self-propagating crystalline compound which acts as The Virus on a molecular level, turning everything it touches into more Tiberium via a nuclear process that gives off ionizing radiation. As a result, Tiberium is radioactive and mutagenic. Plantlife coming into contact with tiberium either become converted or mutate from the radiation into near-alien plantlife, spreading small tiberium crystals like spores. Tiberium leeches minerals from the soil and presents said minerals for harvesting in green crystals on the surface. There is thus no need to dig mines to harvest the substance, and if Tiberium remains on the surface and accumulates enough minerals it turns blue to signal it's 'ripe' for harvesting. Tiberium is capable of mutating itself, in order to gain resistance to anything that hinders its growth. The above all but ensures that Tiberium will eventually become the most valued substance on the planet, causing its population to fight over it, weakening them and allowing it to spread uncontrollably across a planet, gradually mutating or converting all life. Eventually, Tiberium will reach deep into the mantle of a planet as it extracts minerals, liquefying from the heat. This is bad news, as hot Liquid Tiberium is a Ridiculously Potent Explosive and acts as a catalyst to trigger chain-reactions in nearby non-liquid Tiberium, producing an etheral-looking World-Wrecking Wave. Non-heated Liquid Tiberium is far more stable, but maintains every single nasty trait of its non-liquid counterpart. This explosion is picked up by The Scrin harvesting fleets, the beings who seeded the planet in the first place and who need Tiberium to survive like we do air, and signals that the Tiberium harvest is as good as it is going to get. They swoop in, construct massive towers with little resistance since the world has fought itself to the point of extinction over the substance. Harvest the Tiberium, and then skedaddle out of there, leaving a barren planet behind and repeating the process with another planet. | |

Base on Wheels: Mobile Construction Vehicles, which deploy into the Construction Yards from which all buildings are produced. Later games grant scaled down versions for expansions. The Firestorm expansion to Tiberian Sun added Mobile War Factories that worked like the MCV, only producing vehicles instead of buildings. Tiberium Wars features the Rig, a GDI vehicle which provides mobile base defence and vehicle repair. Tiberian Twilight's Crawlers, which are the logical evolution of all three of the above rolled into one. | |

Slap-on-the-Wrist Nuke: You'd expect actual nuclear bombs to do more than wipe out a few buildings. However, these "few buildings" often comprise half or more of the player's base, so in gameplay terms they pose a sufficiently major threat to make neutralizing their launch base a number one priority the moment the enemy builds one. | |

Super-Soldier: The Enlightened from Kane's Wrath are extremely tough, unflinchingly loyal cyborgs built from corpses. They can paralyze vehicles with EMP guns, or just blast the hell out of them with their particle beams. Upgrade their cannons and give them cybernetic legs, and you have squads of lightning bruisers. And from Tiberian Sun, the Cyborg Commando. It's a One-Man Army that can wipe the floor with GDI's commando. The only thing equal to it is the Mammoth Mk. II (The AT-AT knockoff). Additionally, like all cyborgs from Tiberian Sun, you have to take it out twice; the first time you deplete its healthbar, you'll destroy its legs. The Cyborg Commando isn't going to let a minor thing like that stop him. | |

BFG | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series (Video Game) / int_8344209e | comment |
BFG: The Tiberian Dawn Commando fires a silenced .50 caliber sniper rifle. Left handed. The Commando in Tiberium Wars fires a rapid-firing miniaturized railgun. Probably left handed. It's still mostly useless against vehicles, though. The Zone Troopers, on the other hand, use semiautomatic anti-tank railguns, and make short work of basically anything on the ground. Ghost Stalker in Tiberian Sun also used a railgun. The Zone Troopers in Tiberium Wars also had railguns that were effective against pretty much everything, but they didn't hit units in a line like the Ghost Stalker's did. In Tiberian Sun, The Cyborg Commando's weapon fires a big, green ball of plasma that heavily damages anything that it directly impacts and does splash damage. In Renegade, the same technology used to build GDI's Kill Sats is miniaturized into the Merlin Personal Ion Cannon. It makes a reappearance in 4, being wielded by specialist Zone Troopers. High Confessors in 4 have Tiberium particle beam cannons as big as they are. | |

In addition to being a Base on Wheels, they can produce units on the move and unload them once deployed, although already deployed units can't go back in. GDI's APCs in Tiberium Wars are some of the most versatile units in the game. They're dirt cheap, much stronger than the other guy's equivalent units, they tear through infantry and aircraft, they can garrison in any sort of infantry and have it shoot out from the portholes and if you mass them they're a serious problem even against buildings. Add to that the ability to lay down minefields and the armor piercing ammo upgrade in Kane's Wrath, and you have one of the best units in the game. Nod's Reckoner APC isn't powerful, but is nonetheless very useful for ploughing through GDI Zone Troopers and other heavy units with its Dozer Blades, since it's much faster and durable that the Scorpion Tank. The upgraded model in Tiberium Twilight can even burrow. | |

We Will Not Use Photoshop in the Future | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series (Video Game) / int_97346240 | comment |
We Will Not Use Photoshop in the Future: Occurs in the first game, in which Nod uses a green screen and a reporter to frame GDI for a massacre. According to the manual, averted in Tiberian Sun: GDI actually does consider the possibility that Kane's hello message was faked, so they have it thoroughly analyzed. The report concludes that while there are some anomalies, they're not sufficient for it to be an actual fake (they theorize that the anomalies are the result of some sort of amplification). The implication is that the anomalies are there because Kane is consistently faking half his face when he sends his messages — when he's shown in person at the end of the GDI campaign, there's a metal plate over half his face, and some scarring still visible just beyond it. | |

Kill It with Fire: At first, Nod Flamethrowers and Flame Tanks. The Black Hand runs with this lategame, as all of the units will have some sort of fire-based weapon (either they were fire based to begin with, or they gain a Black Disciple, a Black Hand Squad commander with a flamethrower). Not only that, but the upgrade "Purifying Flame" makes all flame-based weapons extremely damaging to all unit types. | |

And from Tiberian Sun, the Cyborg Commando. It's a One-Man Army that can wipe the floor with GDI's commando. The only thing equal to it is the Mammoth Mk. II (The AT-AT knockoff). Additionally, like all cyborgs from Tiberian Sun, you have to take it out twice; the first time you deplete its healthbar, you'll destroy its legs. The Cyborg Commando isn't going to let a minor thing like that stop him. | |

Frequent justification for units switching around or changing between games. For example, in Tiberium Wars, Zone Troopers and their variant are Elite Mooks. By Tiberian Twilight they're just mooks, but there are a number of variations, at least two of which are still elite mook-grade. | |

Rewarding Vandalism: In Tiberian Dawn, civilian buildings, churches in particular, often spawn a cash crate when destroyed, giving players a practical incentive to raze villages beyond Nod's For the Evulz. This feature reappears to a lesser degree in Tiberian Sun, but here the focus lies more on cargo trucks one can often find and destroy in campaign missions, most of which drop either cash or healing crates. | |

A conspiracy that can take on military forces from the world's powers. By the start of the first game, both have gone public, and the world is divided by allegiance to one or the other. As the series went on, and the spread of tiberium worsened, both gradually become world governments - the GDI for the still-peaceful largely First World "blue zones" and Nod for the poorer, more chaotic "yellow zones" rest of the inhabitable world. | |

Alternate History | |

Alternate History: The most significant divergence from our timeline is the arrival of Tiberium on Earth in 1995. This dramatically alters the social, economic, and political landscape to the point that by Tiberium Wars, the world as we know it is nigh-unrecognizable. The first Red Alert was intended to be a prequel to the first Command and Conquer. Kane appears in the Soviet campaign and the existence of the Brotherhood of Nod is revealed in the Soviet ending. The Allied ending also mentions the establishment of the precursor to the Global Defense Initiative (All There in the Manual, though). Word of God is the Tiberian and Red Alert games follow Alternate Timelines diverging sometime after the Allied ending in Red Alert. | |

They are obviously made out to be a mining operation and not an army, with a very formal, almost computer-like speech pattern. | |

May also fall under Artificial Stupidity. The Tiberian Dawn AI really doesn't like Commandos, going after them with single-minded determination even when other, more dangerous enemy units are in range. Needless to say that this becomes problematic in the missions where you need to keep your Commando alive, which means pretty much any mission that gives you a Commando. This is also present in Tiberium Wars, which makes training them a risky investment. Havoc in Renegade does not like Nod hurting civilians. Betrayal is one for Kane. Every single game will feature at least one instance of him executing someone for betraying him. | |

Tiberium is a Self-propagating crystalline compound which acts as The Virus on a molecular level, turning everything it touches into more Tiberium via a nuclear process that gives off ionizing radiation. As a result, Tiberium is radioactive and mutagenic. | |

A.I.-cronym: CABAL is the Brotherhood of NOD's tactical AI during the Second Tiberium War, hinted at by its name of 'Computer-Assisted Biologically-Augmented Lifeform' to not be entirely digital. Indeed, the ending of Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun's Expansion Pack Firestorm shows it running on multiple Wetware CPUs. The GDI tactical control AI throughout the series in their entirity is the EVA, or Electronic Virtual Assistant. After the second Tiberium War, LEGION implies this; it took over where CABAL left off and it's known to be an acronym (as well as another of Kane's self-indulgent Biblical references) but it's never actually expanded upon from there. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: There are many references in the series to Biblical lore, most obviously the Biblical Bad Guy Kane/Cain. Then there's the Brotherhood of Nod itself, referring to the Land of Nod where Cain and his descendants were forced to live after the murder of his brother; Seth, Cain and Abel's brother; Kane as a Messianic Archetype; referring to the followers of Nod as "the chosen people"; and others. Kane's speech at the end of Tiberian Sun where he declares Tiberium to be "the way and the life" almost directly mirrors one of Jesus's statements: "I am the truth and the way and the life". The "funpark" levels in Tiberian Dawn where the player faces off against Dinosaurs, a la Jurassic Park. Tiberian Dawn's cutscene of the Ion Cannon firing is titled "AKIRA" in its .MIX files. It's not the only reference to AKIRA in the original game - take a good look at Nod's Recon Bike. Killian's line in this cutscene is reminiscent of Star Wars. The Mammoth MK.II's cutscene is a near-perfect homage to the scene with the AT-AT walkers in Star Wars. Here, look. Tiberian Sun also had a subtle shout out to Aliens (aside from, you know, Michael Biehn). It's stated in the game's instruction manual that the standard-issue weapon for both sides is the "M16 Mk II Pulse Rifle." Each side gets two interchangeable props used as their versions of the rifle, and one of GDI's is the original M41A. Renegade continued this shout out, with a standard assault rifle that's very heavily based off of the original pulse rifle. Tiberium is a highly infectious extra terrestrial organism with green colour that can manipulate non-organic material and crystalize the bloodstream. Sounds like the The Andromeda Strain, doesn't it? | |

Every element that isn't carbon is non-carbon based. It would've made more sense if he'd described it as a non-carbon based chemical compound or crystal lattice instead. | |

Nuclear Weapons Taboo | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series (Video Game) / int_cdaa029f | comment |
Nuclear Weapons Taboo: Only Nod will ever justify nukes - though the Ion Cannon GDI uses is a fair equivalent, minus the fallout. It is also explicitly stated that GDI still retains its nukes, they just don't need them anymore on account of the Ion Cannon. One of the info snippets noted how GDI took the pledge to never use Nuclear Weapons on the same day they unveiled the Ion Cannon, with most noting how the Cannon made the pledge surprisingly easy to accept. | |

At the end of Firestorm CABAL is apparently keeping Kane alive. More specifically, the Biological Augmentation appears to consist of a roomful of Kane clones all hooked together. At the line "Our directives must be reassessed," the individual Kane appears to have merged with CABAL. | |

At the end of the game one could even call him an all-out good guy, because his designs and GDI hardware create a win-win situation both both sides: the Tiberium Control Network turns Tiberium from a direct threat to the existence of life on Earth into a tightly controlled, effective, regenerating resource, Kane gets to finally go home after being trapped on Earth for thousands of years and takes his most loyal followers with him, thus giving them the promised "Ascension" | |

Imported Alien Phlebotinum | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series (Video Game) / int_d45ad2f5 | comment |
Imported Alien Phlebotinum: The Tacitus device is a sort of ancient alien data drive that holds everything one might (or might not) want to know about Tiberium, ever, including how to control it, destroy it or use it as a power source. The Scrin Threshold 19 tower also counts. By the end on the Third Tiberium War, it was the only alien tower completed (and hence indestructible). It was meant as a massive Tiberium mine and a wormhole to transport it to other worlds, but the aliens never got to use it. In Tiberian Twilight, it's at the center of the Tiberium Control Network, which basically extends its power to mine all the Tiberium on the planet. Kane also wants to use its wormhole to Ascend, along with his entire Brotherhood, which he does. Some of the advanced technology in Tiberian Twilight also qualifies, since it's obviously based on reverse-engineered Scrin equipment. Examples include shield technology and the time-stopping stasis fields. | |

A God Am I: Kane plays with this a fair bit. He concedes that he is not God Himself, but certainly a good runner-up. More often he calls himself "The Messiah" and the Brotherhood of NOD "the chosen people". Kane has been alive and unaged for over a century now, and has successfully deflected shots from an orbital laser cannon with his face, so why not? Not even the Sufficiently Advanced Aliens know what he is. In Renegade, it's hinted that he may be, or at least may lead his followers in believing that he's that Kane. | |

In Tiberian Twilight, he finally reaches his goal, despite the fact that it took him thousands of years and four of the bloodiest wars in history. Commander Michael McNeil, the field commander of GDI during Tiberian Sun, makes it very clear that he will win through whatever means possible. Its makes him Kane's Arch-Enemy. Captain Nick Parker, the best commando of GDI in the Tiberian Dawn / Renegade era.. He wouldn't let some fanatical terrorists, mutated freaks of nature, psychos for hire and one of the greatest Magnificent Bastard in history stop him from defeating the Brotherhood of Nod and win the war. | |

Humongous Mecha | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series (Video Game) / int_e6f18344 | comment |
Humongous Mecha: Tiberian Sun gave GDI the Wolverine and Titan walkers, and the AT-AT lookalike Mammoth Mk. II. Firestorm added the Juggernaut, an artillery platform on legs, and CABAL's "defense protocol" the Core Defender. In Sun there seemed to be a conscious design choice that GDI only used mechs and floating vehicles. Tiberium Wars and Kane's Wrath had GDI return to tanks except for the Juggernaut, although the Wolverines and Titans are still used by the Steel Talons sub-faction. Nod, meanwhile, gained the Awesome, but Impractical Avatar, Redeemer, and the Black Hand-only Purifier. As for the Scrin, if it doesn't float or fly, it walks. Twilight has a few new and old ones in the roster of the Offense class. | |

The Plan | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series (Video Game) / int_e851b5 | comment |
The Plan: Kane's strategies tend to hinge on these, bordering on Gambit Roulette at times - though in Kane's Wrath we get to see just how much planning and effort went into making Tiberium Wars unfold the way it did. In the first game, however, Kane gets played by GDI, which faked having its UN funding cut in order to lure Nod into the open, before hitting them with their latest wave of weapon technology. | |

Simple, yet Awesome | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series (Video Game) / int_ea480f92 | comment |
The Purifier Warmech is precursor to the Avatar, and is Simple, yet Awesome. It's not as advanced as the Avatar, and unable to upgrade itself. The biggest sell though, is how it's equipped with on-board flamethrower that can be upgraded with Purifying Flamesnote this not only gives a major damage boost to flame weapons, but also lets them deal full damage against anything that isn't airborne, including any and all vehicles. It is not an exaggeration that if just one of them actually manages to get into your base uncontested, it can raze your entire base in less than one minute by simply walking through it because, unlike the Avatar, it can shoot on the move. | |

| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series (Video Game) / int_eb7dad86 | comment |
Civil Warcraft: Several times. Nod's first missions in Tiberian Sun are against Hassan, a false pretender to Kane's throne. Similarly in Tiberium Wars, several of your opponents are anti-Kane Nod insurgents. About half the time in Twilight, which is essentially a three way struggle between Gideon (Nod Separatists), Kane (Nod with GDI support) and James (GDI Separatists). | |

Big Damn Heroes | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series (Video Game) / int_eb81c601 | comment |
Probably the most egregious example of this is from the cutscene directly after the first GDI mission of Tiberian Sun. Two cyborgs have just destroyed a pair vulcan cannon turrets in a few shots each. As badass as cyborgs units are, they just can't pump that kind of firepower in game. However, after this, a light infantry in an orbital drop pod falls from the sky and takes out both cyborgs with one shot each. In-game, a single full-health cyborg can successfully take on a group of about 6 light infantry and kill them all before succumbing, not to mention that cyborgs have lose their lower torso if their health drops low enough, which doesn't happen in the cutscene. | |

Beethoven Was an Alien Spy / Historical Villain Upgrade: Yeah, so, the Black Hand, Nod's elite special forces group? They're most likely the same Black Hand that had Archduke Franz Ferdinand assassinated. The Brotherhood itself claims to be around since the dawn of mankind itself (which is actually plausible). | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series (Video Game) / int_ecb70eb4 | comment |
Videogame Cruelty Potential: Especially if you're playing as villains, but destroying cities and sending dozens of tanks against a single rifleman never gets old. Tiberium Dawn is more or less the only game in the series where Nod really waves around their villain card, with multiple missions tasking you with wiping out civilian villages to make a point. Unlike GDI forces, Nod troops automatically open fire on nearby civilians, and civilian buildings can be attacked at any time regardless of whether the mission calls for it or not. Blowing up villages with a Commando even counts towards the "blow up 100 buildings with the Commando" achievement in the Remastered collection, and one late-game mission has so many villages that the achievement can be "earned" there almost in one go. You Bastard! However... | |

Cutscene Power to the Max | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series (Video Game) / int_fe262584 | comment |
Cutscene Power to the Max: The cinematic introducing the original incarnation of the Ion Cannon has its wiping out a small base, while in-game it can't even one-shot a Construction Yard. However, as of C&C 3 it has been beefed-up considerably. Probably the most egregious example of this is from the cutscene directly after the first GDI mission of Tiberian Sun. Two cyborgs have just destroyed a pair vulcan cannon turrets in a few shots each. As badass as cyborgs units are, they just can't pump that kind of firepower in game. However, after this, a light infantry in an orbital drop pod falls from the sky and takes out both cyborgs with one shot each. In-game, a single full-health cyborg can successfully take on a group of about 6 light infantry and kill them all before succumbing, not to mention that cyborgs have lose their lower torso if their health drops low enough, which doesn't happen in the cutscene. While Banshee aircraft is conveniently powerful against armor, the way three of them easily obliterate a Mammoth M.K. II in a Nod cutscene seems a bit too much. The Mammoth M.K. II also gets its share of overpowering in a GDI cutscene where it's depicted getting hit repeatedly by Obelisks of Light, with no significant damage. In game, while the Mammoth could survive a direct encounter with a Obelisk, it would still take serious damage. This scene gives the Mammoth an addtional weapon they don't sport In game: a dual autocannon. Another cutscene also shows Orca Fighters acrobatically evading SAM Sites' fire, and then blasting them with a single missile. The in-game Orca had comparatively weak missiles, needed to hover over its target to attack and was easily taken down by anything that could target aircraft. | |
