[. . . ] The rivers will flow with the blood of those who oppose us. " -- Kane, suspected leader of the Brotherhood of Nod (Global Net Interpol, file #GEN4:16) HISTORY THE BROTHERHOOD OF NOD Commonly, The Brotherhood, The Ways of Nod, ShaÆSeer among the tribes of Godan; see INTERPOL File ARK936, Aliases of the Brotherhood, for more. FOUNDED: Date unknown: exaggerated reports place the Brotherhood's founding before 1, 800 BC IDEOLOGY: To unite third-world nations under a pseudo-religious political platform with imperialist tendencies. In actuality it is an aggressive and popular neo-fascist, antiWest movement vying for total domination of the world's peoples and resources. Operates under the popular mantra, "Brotherhood, unity, peace". CURRENT HEAD OF STATE: Kane; also known as Caine, Jacob (INTERPOL, File TRX11-12Q); al-Quayym, Amir (MI6 DR-416. 52) BASE OF OPERATIONS: Global. [. . . ] Its good points are that it can take a beating before being destroyed and it is proficient at crushing enemy infantry. HOVER CRAFT ARMOR: HEAVY COST: N/A SECONDS TO PRODUCE: N/A RANGE: N/A WEAPON: NONE This heavily-armored unit deploys men and vehicles during amphibious assault. It is not buildable in any missions, including multiplay. 39 A-10 GROUND SUPPORT AIRCRAFT ARMOR: HEAVY COST: N/A SECONDS TO PRODUCE: N/A RANGE: LONG WEAPON: NAPALM BOMBS GDI UNITS These units are highly maneuverable, ground-hugging craft that level enemy units with napalm. When playing as GDI in the solo play missions, destroying all Nod SAM sites will give you access to the A-10 airstrikes. Since the A-10 bombs in a line, it is a good idea to pick a target that is part of a group. You can do damage to more enemies this way. GUNBOAT ARMOR: HEAVY COST: N/A SECONDS TO PRODUCE: N/A RANGE: LONG WEAPON: TOMAHAWK MISSILE Heavily armored, and armed with surface-to-surface missiles, this unit is the backbone of GDI's naval forces. This unit makes special appearances in GDI missions, but is normally unavailable. 40 41 GDI UNITS GDI UNITS HIERARCHY STRUCTURE(S) BUILT: ALLOW(S) BUILDING OF: BARRACKS MINIGUN INFANTRY GRENADIER ROCKET SOLDIER ENGINEER INFANTRY + BARRACKS ADV.

The Construction Yard is fairly strong, but as with almost all structures, it is vulnerable to Engineers. Try surrounding your Construction Yard with walls to keep out unwanted guests. GDI STRUCTURES POWER PLANT ARMOR: LIGHT COST: 300 SECONDS TO PRODUCE: 20 POWER USAGE: NONE PURPOSE: PROVIDES POWER TO BASE This unit provides power to the structures in your base. Power output is directly related to the Power Plant's condition, so protect them during battles. If they get damaged, you must repair them quickly or else some of your base defenses may cease to function. The Power Plant outputs 100 units of power. ADVANCED POWER PLANT ARMOR: LIGHT COST: 700 SECONDS TO PRODUCE: 47 POWER USAGE: NONE PURPOSE: PROVIDES POWER TO BASE This high-yield structure handles the energy strains of some later, more power-intensive structures. It may cost a bit more than the original Power Plant, but it generates double the amount of power (200 units). 44 INFANTRY BARRACKS ARMOR: MEDIUM COST: 300 SECONDS TO PRODUCE: 20 POWER USAGE: 10 PURPOSE: PRODUCES INFANTRY This structure is a field training center for all available infantry units. Building multiple Barracks will increase the rate at which infantry are produced. GUARD TOWER ARMOR: LIGHT COST: 500 SECONDS TO PRODUCE: 33 POWER USAGE: 10 PURPOSE: DEFENSE Armed with a high-velocity machine gun, this structure provides manned defense against Nod ground attack. The Guard Tower is exceptionally useful against infantry and other light units, and since it doesn't require any power, it will remain functional when your base loses power. It can also detect Nod Stealth Tanks when they are near. ADVANCED GUARD TOWER ARMOR: MEDIUM COST: 1000 SECONDS TO PRODUCE: 66 POWER USAGE: 20 PURPOSE: DEFENSE Provides strong fortification against ground and air units. The Advanced Guard Tower (AGT) fires Tomahawk missiles at considerable range, but it requires power. [. . . ] You should be able to see the GDI barracks, where their Minigunners are created, as well as some silos, a refinery, and a construction yard. You can destroy all the structures in the GDI base in the same way you do Minigunners, simply by targeting them. However, you can capture their structures instead, which would be much more advantageous. USING ENGINEERS Build a couple of engineers and send them over to the GDI base behind your other forces. Engineers have no weapons, and are quite slow, so make sure that there's nothing threatening them while you move them to the GDI base. [. . . ]
