How do you put in buildings or units into a map ? Like the Spikes, expansion point, mutan hovel..

One thing I did notice from Kane edition vs the normal version is the lack of a certain map. I'm looking for the map called Ground Zero. It has a massive Tiberium field in the middle of the map and close to one of the sides. It has has a bunch of buildings surrounding the hole and there are bridges connection to either base side from the area of the buildings.

When playing GDI what is the best air defence against Scrin when it send it's planetary assault carriers and the warship ? I find the Zone troopers can do some damage but it's never enough. The GDI Air Defence towers can't penetrate there shields. I've been playing using the the newest c&c Retarded mod with the snipers that fire EMP bullets.. Those I get a kick out of.

What is the difference from just Tiberium Wars and the Kane edition

Looking for some advice on how to beat the computer on Brutal with the personality set to random. I managed to hold them off for about 10 minutes or so and then as always the harvesters started to act dumb and the cash flow stopped coming in. I was playing NOD vs GDI.

The only map that I can really play on brutal is unfair advantage and with the mod. I'm going to try without the mod to. It seems like the computer cheats like crazy besides having double the start up funds.

Who decided to preorder Kane's Wrath ? I know I did.

I found out if you can hold off them off and build up a good defence then your mammoth tanks and mostly juggernauts will get rid of any Tripods. The computer sends in the Tripods ahead and has the ships close behind. Then it will slowly crept forward. By this time it's in range of my air missiles and they wipe out the scrin ships. However I had to use GDI and Scrin air missiles along with the firehawks to really fight off the ships. The thing is I have not learned how to fight them off and still build up a defence fast enough at the same time. I had to use the plasma force shield to protect my units till I was ready to face them.

I tried all these suggestions and they work great. However playing against them using the mod on the hardest setting with turtle personality is just impossible.. I cannot see any way you could build fast enough to fight them off and if you did how to keep them off. You fight off the first wave and then it sends in wave after wave. It's never ending. You can't pump out enough units fast enough or even generate that kind of cash that fast. You would have to have like 10 airships and pumping out like 10 avatars/stealth tanks at a time..Even then I don't know if it would be enough.

I managed to do it. You click on the field and then it's info will be in that pop up window. Go to Tiberium and you can edit how fast it grows or how large it is. Then right click anywhere on the map so it's saved.

To edit maps in the game use a BIG editor. Then locate the files that cold the campaign maps and skirmish maps. The only thing I can figure it is why they turn out black. I'll post a screen shot later to show what I mean.

If My Video card is slower and it makes the game slower for me, does it also make it slow for the computer ?

The way I see it the more I play brutal the better I get and I might be able to stand a chance online. I can beat the computer on brutal using the cc retarded mod..

Well what I've been doing is the first thing I build is a crane then 4 refineries then power plants and hand of nods and then pump out rocket squad and miltans. I'm trying to this on a map called Redzone however the blue tiberium make my harvesters stupid and they keep trying to collect from it even when it's empty and when I tell to harvest a diff field. I get side tracked trying to defend the base and keep a eye on the harvesters while trying to upgrade. I managed to get to avitars but ran dry of money. I couldnt keep up the line of defence I had and pump out enough avitars. The ION cannon is what killed me the last time. I couldnt recover properly.

I so pre ordering this. It looks good.

I figured it out.. Only one problem is the view screen is mostly black and I don't what is where unless you know the map well.. You see the enemy as whatever color you picked and yourself where ever you and the enemy are on on the map. However you don't see terrain. Suggestions ?

I downloaded this program that allows me to open Big files and I was able to open the .big file for the maps that come with the game. How do you properly extract the maps so that you can edit them and then use then modified version you created ?

The special bonus pre-order maps were never officially released. They were only made available to those who pre-ordered C&C 3 via some US retail stores like Best Buy and GameStop. I was sent some "information" on a ways to obtain them but it would be very unprofessional for to post such details. They are still online the maps your talking about. I did a google on them and found them. It's not that easy. It's in a .big file and I think in the map preview. I could be wrong about this.

I need some tips on how to win playing the torment arena map. I tried playing it on medium against GDI with health -20 and I even gave myself 50,000 and they still walked all over me. I tried to build as fast as I could but no matter what I do I can't seem to win.. It's like the computer is cheating somehow. They always seem to send wave after never ending wave of units after me and I can't seem to keep them fought off. I fend off enough attacks to get the mammoths tanks and there upgrade and I run out of money as the attacks are getting stronger by now and I'm wasting money like crazy. I'm sure the computer plays differently based on the map. There was this one map I beat with a start up of 15k and the AI -20% Health and it was on hard for difficulty.

Whats a fast paced RTS ?

That is true but even then it's a slow fire rate.

Mammoths are strong but there slow. The Scrin destroyed ships and the tripods wipe them out easily.

It's just a map though. I still have some saved games from it when I was trying out the game on my Friends copy of kane edition. That's what lead me to buy the game. I had no idea it was this fun till I tried it out Yes I do.

Scrin can be powerful if you play them right and are given enough time to build a good defence. I've walked all over GDI on many maps using the tripods on the ships alone. The wormhole is handy. You can use that as a diversionary tactic. Surround them and attack from in there own base..Gotta love that.

Got it! That was a insane game! I picked unholy alliance and I found out I could build from all all 3. It was a interesting game. The tripods in the end dominated and won the game.
