Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn (1995) - Nod 13C Cape Town, South Africa - C&C Gold Walkthrough Episode 47

Welcome to my Let's Play of Westwood Studios' Command & Conquer. In 1992 Westwood released Dune II, the first ever Real Time Strategy game. The success of Dune II lead them to believe there was a future for this genre and so they set to work developing their own IP and expanding on the gameplay of their first RTS. The working title for this new game was Tiberian Dawn. In 1995 Westwood Studios released the first installment in the franchise they would become best known for, Command & Conquer. As more games were added to the series the original game would go on to be referred to by its development title, Tiberian Dawn.

In Command & Conquer the story follows the events of the First Tiberium War. In 1995 a meteorite crashes on earth bringing with it a new element, the titular Tiberium. Tiberium had remarkable properties, leaching from the ground precious metals and other valuable minerals and bringing them to the surface. These Tiberium crystals could then be easily collected and processed to gain access to the valuable elements within. The Brotherhood of Nod, an ancient and secret society, appears on the world stage and reveals they have advanced knowledge of Tiberium harvesting. By partnering with the disenfranchised third-world they are able to quickly spread their influence and grow in power. Nod is fast becoming a new superpower and to deal with the threat they pose the UN forms the Global Defence Initiative (GDI) to combat them. When Nod is linked to several terrorist attacks in Europe, the UN declares open war on Nod and GDI is tasked with eliminating them.

Command & Conquer was released on August 31st 1995 and was followed up by an expansion “The Covert Operations” the following year. A second expansion was developed into a full retail release and released in 1996 as Command & Conquer: Red Alert. This would serve as a prequel to Tiberian Dawn, taking place 50 years earlier. In the original game the player can choose between the two factions, each having their own campaign of a dozen missions. At several points in the story there are branching paths to choose from, the end result being a total of 20+ missions per faction.

There are no difficulty settings in Command & Conquer. The current plan is to play through the entire game as well as all possible alternate missions. I have music disabled for my playthrough but have added in Frank Klepacki’s incredible soundtrack during the editing process. I will be alternating between the Nod and the GDI campaigns with a new mission posted each day at 1pm UTC.

I am playing nyerguds’ Command & Conquer Gold: Project 1.06. This fan patch of the CD release copy of Command & Conquer allows the game to run on modern systems as well as fixing several bugs in the original game. There are no gameplay changes so the challenge remains the same. The main quality of life improvement is the increased resolution that Command & Conquer can now be played at. Because the game relies on 2D sprites however, increasing the resolution too much can result in the game assets being so small that it becomes unplayable. I’ve chosen what I think is a happy middleground at 720p. This Let’s Play is played on my PC (i7 8600K, GTX 1060 6GB), video recorded with OBS, audio recorded with a Blue Yeti microphone and edited in Lightworks.

This is my second Let’s Play on YouTube so it is still early days for my channel. For the next few months my plan is to upload Westwood Studios games at 1pm daily and id Software games at 2pm daily. I’ll also have the occasional third video. There may be a brief gap between Tiberian Dawn and The Covert Operations where I squeeze in another Westwood Studios game but those plans might change. As I'm still very new to YouTube I'd welcome any feedback that'll help me improve my videos. Hope you enjoy the video. Thanks.
