How to Build Guard Towers in Tiberian Sun Patch

Base building and defense is a major aspect of "Command &Conquer: Tiberian Sun." Both the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) and Brotherhood of Nod have their own unique guard towers. The method of building these towers differs slightly. The GDI uses modular towers that require two separate structures to be built. The Nod towers are built in the same manner as other structures. Guard towers are primarily used early in a game to defend bases from weaker enemy units. These towers become obsolete later when higher-tech units outclass towers in terms of damage, health and firing range.

Things You'll Need

  • Construction yard
  • 350, 500 or 800 Tiberium (GDI)
  • 300 or 1500 Tiberium (Nod)

Instructions

  1. Global Defense Initiative

    • 1

      Build a power plant. You build structures in "Tiberium Sun" by clicking on the icon for the structure on the right side of the screen. Click on the map to choose where the structure should be placed. All units and structures have a Tiberium cost that must be paid before it can be constructed. The power plant is the prerequisite for the GDI barracks.

    • 2

      Build the GDI barracks. This is the prerequisite for the component tower, which is the main structure for the GDI guard tower.

    • 3

      Build a component tower. This structure costs 200 Tiberium to make. It does not do anything until you build a turret on top of it, but it can still be attacked and destroyed by enemy forces.

    • 4

      Build the Vulcan cannon upgrade to create a low-cost turret that is primarily effective against infantry and lightly-armored vehicles. The upgrade is built like any other building, except the only place you can build it is directly on top of an empty component tower. This upgrade costs 150 Tiberium to build, making it the cheapest guard tower available for the GDI.

    • 5

      Build the surface-to-air missile (SAM) battery upgrade to create a turret to shoot down enemy aircraft. This guard tower can attack ground-based targets, but it is not very effective against these targets. This upgrade costs 300 Tiberium to build.

    • 6

      Build the rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) tower to defend against heavily-armored vehicles and infantry. This upgrade costs 600 Tiberium to build. Due to the low rate of fire and limited range, it does not work very effectively on fast, lightly-armored vehicles. These vehicles can, if used effectively, get into attack range of the tower, attack and drive back out of range, taking only minimal damage.

    Brotherhood of Nod

    • 7

      Build a power plant. This is the prerequisite for the Hand of Nod.

    • 8

      Build a Hand of Nod. This is the prerequisite for the laser turret, Nod's basic guard tower.

    • 9

      Build a laser turret by selecting it from the menu on the right side of the screen. It costs 300 Tiberium to build.

    • 10

      Build a Tiberium refinery, radar installation and Nod tech center. These are the prerequisites for the Obelisk of Light, the more advanced guard tower.

    • 11

      Build an Obelisk of Light by selecting it from the right side of the screen. It costs 1500 Tiberium to build this structure.
