Description
Command & Conquer developed ideas from Westwood's previous
Dune 2, forming a real time strategy game which has influenced many. The control system of selecting units with the mouse and then directing them is similar to future titles such as
Total Annihilation.
The game focuses on a war between two organizations, The Brotherhood of Nod and the Global Defense Initiative. You can take control of either side for more than 15 missions. Both have different units and structures, including artillery, tanks and light infantry.
In most missions you have to build a base first to build new units and structures. Most important are the special harvesters, which collect Tiberium and deliver it to a refinery, where it's converted into money - money which is needed to create additional units.
The game also features FMV mission briefings and victory cutscenes.
Alternate Titles
- "終極動員令" -- Chinese title (traditional)
- "Command & Conquer: Tiberium Dawn" -- Working title
- "Command & Conquer Teil 1: Der Tiberiumkonflikt" -- German title

Trivia
Westwood voluntarily changed a few things in the German version, because they feared the game could be indexed.
- The cover: the soldier on the cover was displayed bigger, so that the weapon on the left couldn't be seen anymore
- The manual: the photos of the soldier units were censored with "Geheim" [secret], so that nobody could see that they had human faces
- The game: the soldiers were called 'androids' or 'bots', and they spilled black blood when they died (oil)
I also believe that one of the videos was censored, when Seth gets a head-shot, but I am not sure of this, because I don't own the US version.
