For Tiberium War, the initial release of the game the cranes could build base defenses, a balance patch took that away and a campaign mission where you started with only a crane became more difficult.

[@cursedhawkins1305]

I was WONDERING why that was a thing, because I came into Tiberium War after Red Alert 3 and in Red Alert 3 the crane used by the Soviets could build both base structures and defenses.

Yeah, and it's *DUMB!* I can take it in Kane's Wrath, not in vanilla Tiberium Wars!

Disc version being the best version of the game is great. When they did only updates to multiplayer, that also effected the campaign, you basically redo the campaign on ultra-brutal hard unintended difficulty. Because your income is halved. Base defences are weaker. Power plants do not spread build area, and cranes can't build defences

[@saladinbob]

I think there's another reasaon why Nod had underground construction facilities in the 2nd Tiberium war. The onset of Ion storms meant the EMP shut down everything on the surface, having them underground provided the facility with natural shielding against it allowing it to continue to operate during a storm. Although not represented in game, if there were also storage facilities Nod could quickly release an army of vehicles immediately upon the Storm ending.

[@VJK102]

​@EugenijusKrenis first, this was designed way before all this Ai generated bs; Second, is a crane with some weird legs; Of all the MCVs, its one of the most believable ones; no 90% of the building spawning out of nowhere

[@MeowMeowMeowMeowMeowMeowMeowww]

In sense of the vehicle folding together, yes. But what we see ingame is always just a translation. The reason why bases in C&C can build this fast is do to gameplay and i think they delibaretly never specifyed how fast the actual build time is. I mean, how long does it take to train a Infantry Squad in C&C 3? Also, C&C3 plays in the year 2047. We can 3D print alot today, even buildings. That a Military is useing Nanon Assemblers for there forward bases in the next 3 decades, doesn´t sound unrealistic at all, anymore.

[@justjoking5841]

I kinda had a hypothesis that the Crane seen is similar to the Scaffolding erected when Starcrafts Terran Builders are constructing barrack and stuff. Kinda like a giant 3d Printer of sorts

[@KimPossibleShockwave]

7:33 It's likely that the Renegade Construction Yard was a refined or improved version due to the rapid advancement of technologies and lessons learned as the war continued, since it was more heavily automated (as with most Renegade buildings), and it was likely the base for the Tiberian Sun Construction Yard. It's also likely that all the materials which should have been inside the Nod Construction Yard had been used to reinforce the base, since Nod knew GDI was coming, and that personnel had been evacuated/moved elsewhere. 9:31 The Forgotten at this time seemed to be desperate to grab anything and everything: From then-modern military hardware of both GDI and Nod manufacture, to older weapons and small arms (such as the first generation Nod Flame Tank), to improvised weapons (such as what were basically technicals in the form of armed pickup trucks). By the time of Firestorm and with their alliance with GDI more solidified, they seemed to be more militarized with GDI equipment, forgoing Nod's stuff and the improvised weapons/tools.

[@MrMarinus18]

When playing C&C 3 I actually rarely build the mini MCV's. I usually just build a crane about as far away from my refinary as I can since it allows buildings to be build around it and then I move my MCV to the other place I want to build. A crane and base expansion vehicle have the same cost but a crane has other uses too. The larger construction range of the MCV also allows it to do the job of 2 mobile units at times.

[@Viper1Zero]

Ah hell yeah boys, 22 minutes of MCV deep dive.

[@Mastervitro]

So a lot of the base building was done as "make believe"/"pretend" where they just don't show the workers moving supplies around and building. I understand why but it would have made the game more immersive and allowed for more options to attack and defend supply lines.

[@dracmeister]

It was in-line with a certain design philosophy. The devs wanted an RTS you can just pickup and play without having to do busywork-this is why the CnC games only have 1 resource besides providing your base power (which is still inherently liked to income.). They didn't want complicate the gameplay too much by implementing things like supply and logistical lines but instead imply they are there via story. Just because something would be interesting to implement doesn't mean it's going to be fun.

[@sonicslv6132]

C&C always designed to be fast paced combat heavy skirmish though, not resource management. Besides, lore wise, everything is assembled and transported underground. All the workers and engineers are underground. That's why the "build range" or ground control is core mechanic. And if you look at the animations, all buildings pop up from ground while all the ConYard / Cranes crane will deposit the materials underground when you build something instead of extracting it out.

@@Saviliana I agree, while I still like a lot of units and designs from C&C 3 and will play it, unlike my boycotting and dismissal of #4; My canon for C&C still rests at the end of Tiberian Sun. I like the Scrin (the Nod "space ship alluded to a coming alien threat in Tib Sun), I like that things are building up to it, I just don't like how the executed the story of C&C 3. The Forgotten were... Forgotten, prominent characters killed off screen or retired. The change of the world's Tiberium flora and fauna that was so compelling in Tib Sun. I do think the oldest Redzones could still develop to the point of the pure massive crystals we seen in Tib 3, just I wanted everything from before to also carry over. I think I'd start the game with Anton Slavic still being alive, not killed off screen, and I'd keep the SG1 style storytelling and CGI we got from Tiberian Sun. The Kodiak and Montauk still being used (maybe even as proper MCV vehicles) and I think I'd have the destruction of the Philadelphia actually happen as the mid point of the games story, a turning point so to speak of things ramping up.

[@Von_Langstein]

or perhaps even have the Philadelphia's destruction come from the Scrin Invasion rather than a Nod missile, Having the first half of the game still have GDI drop Troopers coming in would be too cool, and seeing them scramble from a space dominant doctrine to working with what they have on the ground
