![]() ![]() Tiberian Twilight’s solo campaign is divided into two campaigns after the brief three-mission tutorial sequence. In the course of your adventure you will be tasked with a serious decision – do you take the opportunity to destroy the murderous madman Kane once and for all, or will you join him in his scheme to control the world? Unfortunately, extremists are threatening to destroy what little peace remains. In an effort to save humanity, Kane and GDI have established a tenuous alliance dedicated to stopping the spread of Tiberium and harnessing it for power. Tiberium nodes have grown unchecked, threatening to render the planet uninhabitable. ![]() Tiberian Twilight’s story takes place 15 years after the events in Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, and 10 years after that game’s expansion Kane’s Wrath. So it was with great anticipation that I sat down to review Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight, billed as the final entry in the “Tiberium Saga.” Did Kane save the best for last? The Command & Conquer series has been a staple of my real-time strategy diet ever since the first title came out way back in 1995. Must be time for a new entry in the Command & Conquer franchise! Of course, I poke fun at those things only because I love them. ![]() Lots of blabbering on about tiberium nodes? Check. Pathfinding is fussy, which is a hassle when trying to ensure that your favorite unit gets the pickup, but I love the visual upgrades (like extra arms on the Nod Avatar walker) when you snag a rare blue powerup.Bald, goatee-sporting villain? Check. No costs are incurred except for build time, so the only incentive to keep units alive is veteran bonuses, earned through combat and from picking up Pac-Man-like power-pellet drops from fallen enemies. Even when you lose every unit you’ve got, it only takes a couple of minutes to go from just your Crawler back up to a full-strength army. If your Crawler is destroyed in battle, you just deploy a new one. You then pack up your Crawler, advance (or retreat) to wherever the new front line might be, unpack it again and replenish your forces. How different is it? Instead of harvesting Tiberium resources to build a sturdy base and a diverse army, you deploy a specialized Crawler - a walking, rolling or flying distant relative of C&C’s Mobile Construction Vehicles - in a designated spot on the map, and unfold it to crank out units for free until you hit your unit cap. ![]()
