---- 2. FAQ ---- [2000]

Find answers to common questions about Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun, including alliance choices, mission progression issues, and environmental details.

Q: Which alliance is better?

A: This is a question that really has no answer. It all depends on your preference. GDI relies more on brute force and heavy firepower through its Titans, Orca Bombers, Mammoth Mk.II, etc. Nod, on the other hand, relies on stealth and speed to win its battles. Each side has its advantages over the other. Try out both sides equally to see which one works for you.

Q: Why is the "Destroy Chemical Supply" mission not ending?

A: Make sure that you destroy all of the white "Chemical Tanks." I believe there are two next to the Waste Facility you find at the beginning of the mission. There is a whole group of them east of the other two Waste Facilities in the same mission, plus another three inside the Nod base. Once they're destroyed, the mission will proceed. After that, you must send a unit across the bridge north of the Nod base. There, you will reveal a train station. Send Ghost Stalker onto that train to finish the mission.

Q: Where is the train station in the "Rescue Umagon 'B'" mission?

A: The train station might not look like a train station to you. It can be found at the western edge of the map in the form of a large, white building next to the track. I passed this building on my first playthrough without even knowing it was the train station myself. Westwood really disguised it there.

Q: ACK! Why is the GDI transport not appearing in the "Villainess In Distress" mission?

A: Even if you freed Oxanna from her prison and killed all surrounding GDI forces, the transport might not arrive for a few seconds. Be patient and wait for it. You will be notified when it comes.

Q: I was attacked by a Mammoth Mk.II in "Destroy Mammoth Mk.II Prototype" mission. I destroyed it but the mission didn't end. What's up?

A: The one Mammoth Mk.II you MUST destroy is inside the main GDI base. GDI may send a second Mammoth Mk.II to attack your base. I don't see how this works here, but that Mammoth Mk.II is not the prototype that your objective means. Destroying the prototype inside the base will finish the mission.

Q: What are those cactus-like things standing in the center of tiberium patches?

A: They play an important role. At regular intervals, they will spit out Tiberium (or seeds or something, I don't know). With one or two of these within a Tiberium patch, the amount of Tiberium can never run out as they will keep growing.
