Genau so!

I can't agree more, it really felt like the world was falling apart in that game

I really hope they remaster Tiberian Sun like they did the OG C&C and Red Alert

The old games just had this feel. It was not always rational, but always very emotional. They were less serious and "realistic", but more artistic. Modern games are the opposite, maybe because of higher graphical fidelity, but they just don't hit any close. That, and also we got older, of course.

Agreed! Tiberian Sun atmosphere is the best! I played other RTS games as well but nothing feels like Tiberian Sun. The combination of designs, looks, & music in Tiberian Sun always keep me coming back playing this game. Even saying the name 'Tiberian Sun' alone gives my mind the excitement.

Hehe! Building a large base is always my favorite things to do in Tiberian Sun when I was a kid. Now I'm revisiting those memories again. Building in cities is a nice trick to save placing concrete though 👍

@@g3nkamgaming Same. I always thought the developers should increase the dimensions of the pavement. Maybe instead of a 4x4 section, make it an 8x8 section, or even a 12x12 section. It's just one of those quality-of-life considerations. I also wish the pavement covered the ground immediately surrounding existing structures just to make it look a little more seamless.

Omg, I thought it was just me spending 20 minutes taking over an entire city.

Hehe, I think Tiberian Sun made us really want to build a proper base. It feels good. I also spent hours on my father's computer when I was a kid to make giant base and now I want to revisit those memories.

Glad to hear I am not only one who kept enemy alive, but mostly defanged and built impregnable giant bases - also taking over enemy bases and mixing both technologies. Guess Stronghold was only game where developer was scratching that particular itch through gameplay mechanics.

One of the reason I like survival games now, where I can build for both practicality and aesthetics. If RTS games had a similar mechanics, where aesthetics are also important, not just piling things together, that would be actually great. I can see so many hours spent on such things. It wouldn't be any game that can become cybersports like Starcraft, of course.

FINALLY someone GETS me, I'd do the same exact thing, turtling, being practical with my placements. I'd be absolutely terrible at competitive but that's not me.

Thank you! Yes, I used to mod Tiberian Sun in the past. The modding community was awesome back in the day, changing how the game behave, adding new structures and units, etc. But I never really modify the adjacent very much. Thank you for the trick!

I had a same type of trick, without changing any files... if you have buildings "ghost" out, move it right next to the build bar on the right, so that its right on the edge of disappearing under it. While the ghost is white on the edge, click and HOLD the LMB, and move the mouse curson over the bar. Then, use the arrow keys to move the camera to the location you wanna build. Make sure the area there has open ground for the building UNDER the buildbar. Then, when you are certain of the free space under the build bar, release the LMB. The structure should be built under the bar, at that location.

Any tips for expanding the size of pavement?

Is there any way to get rid lthe black area. I like to see the map clearly when i start the game.

Hehe! I just revisiting my favourite things to do in Tiberian Sun when I was a kid. Spending hours building a large base! :)

@@g3nkamgaming i always loved just building in games that should be short too. Like I remember in the past playing AOE2 against 1 cpu player who was allied to me with locked teams enabled, and just try to build the largest possible economy. Sometimes have all of them farm, sometimes all lumberjacks, or gold miners, or fishing boats, or whatever

Haha! Agreed, that is one of the annoying things when we want to get a perfect clean base, and then there are craters everywhere.

@@g3nkamgaming there should have been a bulldozer to flatten craters

What about the good times where your OCD forced you to use artilleries to lvl the ground , but a single mistake with the force applied will over on a terrible hole? o.O

Cool! An addition to that I really hope EA will remaster Tiberian Sun and implement sidebar tabs similar to Red Alert 2 and Tiberium Wars, like what they did to the C&C Remastered. So we can build much faster without the need to scroll the long list of structures & units.

@@g3nkamgaming Exactly! Options like EMP strike, Firestorm defense activation, Ion Cannon, Cluster Missile, Chem Missile, etc, deserve their own hotkeys. Also, would have been cool if beta features would have been finally implemented too, such as Spotlight Tower bonus, lightning affecting combat effectiveness of units and defense structures, dropship reinforcements, usable Orca transports, Nod subterrannian reinforcements, and so on. I'll go full "shut up and take my money!" for THAT TibSun remaster. XD

@@g3nkamgaming i hope they will remaster it🔥 this game was my childhood 100%

Thank you for watching! I love playing Tiberium Wars too, but not really for building large bases like Tiberian Sun.

Don't worry, you are not alone! Everyone love building bases in RTS especially Tiberian Sun as me and you!

Paving the way to a practical and... concrete... future

Thank you for watching! Yes I will do NOD and hybrid bases too in my coming videos!

Thank you! Hope you like it :)

Shift clicking doesn't work in standard TS unfortunately

Thats a fun mission, If I recall you get the full tech tree as well to go crazy with. same with the GDI mission to destroy the prototype facility, capture that little boxed in war factory and tech center, start spamming cluster/tiberium missles

Tiberian Sun makes building big bases fun!

@@g3nkamgaming it’s the pavements, walls and gates that make it 😀 sadly none of which is available in C&C3 which is why I didn’t enjoy it as much.

Well, modern RTS are made to be fast-action spectacles and turtling isn't fast. Also, aside from Starcraft, modern RTS focuses a lot on battles and not so much on base building.

@@Codesiderio to be fair, even in Tiberian Sun, turtling was never competitive. You can even tell by this video he had to play hard and fast to get the CPU under control so he could start building

@@RenegadeVile agreed

I still play it on my old school windows 95.

Cool! I used to do this in Red Alert too, but I like to do it in Tiberian Sun more. Hehe

Hehehe!

Awesome to know that there are many people actually enjoying TS by building large bases!

@@g3nkamgaming Cool, hope you keep it up! :D

Perfect base! That is exactly how l describe the big base l built! Ha ha. I usually build insane amount of defense structure forming two or three layers defense grids

Hehe! It's always awesome to hear everyone love building bases in Tiberian Sun as I do!

This was actual human vs hard AI gameplay. Hope I can convince you :)

True!

can confirm

G. D. I. !!!

Just a theory but by meeting your power needs with just stock power plants means that you are less likely to unknowingly over extend your power grid as you expand your base. This means that once you are pretty much done building you can go back and start build turbines and finish hardening your power grid against enemy attacks. Also by spreading out the power plants it makes it hard for super weapons to knock out your power grid as well.

Thank you so much 😀

Tiberian Sun music is the best! Really capture the industrial, post-apocalyptic atmosphere

Now that you mentioned it, I just realised that I never tried it before! Hehe

@@g3nkamgaming let me know how you get on.

I remember running the shield on and it blocked that missle attack that spread out after dislodged from the center missile from NOD. The gdi one blocked that one.

The map is called 'Westwood's Canyon'. I can't remember if it was available in the original Tiberian Sun & Firestorm, but I played the CnCNet version

Yes! There are several other RTS with gates and walls, but Tiberian Sun is one of the best and fun to play with

The actual song name is called Scout

Oh, I didn't build them. The concrete cliffs were part of the map design. The map is called 'Westwood's Canyon', and it came with the CnCNet version of Tiberian Sun

@@g3nkamgaming hey do you know where I can find maps for the windows 95

Haha yes, but it's fun to build a base in Tiberian Sun :)

Thank you for watching!

@@g3nkamgaming no problem bro, didnt have time to watch ebtire vid, but i like how you built the base, i really did same. Wish game had more emphazis on how to build a base besides the build range and abilty of units to move from one side of the base to other :)

Yes, there are several mods that add that features. You can also actually edit the .INI file to enable them, but the transport heli won't work properly once there are units inside it.

@@g3nkamgaming link to mod?

Thank you for watching. You can try download and play the CNCNET version of Tiberian Sun here cncnet.org

Yes, EA actually has released Tiberian Sun for free several years ago. So you can download and play the game without CD. Or you can get the CnCnet version of the game here cncnet.org which is easier to install. It includes patches / bug fixes for gameplay & graphic so that the game will run properly in modern machines. Plus, online multiplayer works now so you can play against other players on their server as well! :)

Nod artillery was able to do this in groups, like 4 of them (removing upper layers, clearly not able to fix "holes" / lower lvls... Up to this day I wonder to what point would be imposible to add something to fix this, like auto-lvl terrain with concrete

Hahaha GDI is actually a city builder in its freetime

@@g3nkamgaming Which, to be fair, isn’t exactly out of character for the Global Defense Initiative.

Refineries come with their inbuilt silo, so maybe it was redundant.

Sorry I forgot the map name, but the map came with the cncnet.org version of Tiberian Sun Firestorm

Haha SimCnC

Hahaha!

True!

Thank you! Noted!

Thank you! I guess I'm too focus on building a large bases and keep forgetting to micro my units
