A new Nod campaign has been added to The Dawn of the Tiberium Age, a freeware Command & Conquer RTS

Update

The free fan-made RTS The Dawn of the Tiberium Age has received a major update. It introduces a new story-driven campaign for the Brotherhood of Nod faction, titled Shadow Exodus. In it, you play as a rookie commander who takes control of the faction’s forces in Eastern Europe.

The new campaign isn’t the only attraction awaiting players. The renderer has finally been improved, replacing the ancient DirectDraw system, which fixes virtually all the compatibility issues that The Dawn of the Tiberium Age had on modern PCs. Unit control has also been improved, and the multiplayer mode has been enhanced and expanded with four new maps.

Translated with DeepL.com (free version)We’ve finally received a new version of The Dawn of the Tiberium Age, a free RTS built on an enhanced version of the engine from Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun, which brings together factions from both the Tiberium and Red Alert universes in a single game.

The update has been labeled version 15 and introduces many new additions and improvements

1. First and foremost, the game now includes sixteen new missions for co-op mode.
2. Version 15 has also significantly improved enemy AI.
3. Many units have received new visual effects.
4. The multiplayer lobby now displays identification numbers for saved game states, making it easier to resume interrupted matches.
5. The authors have also fixed numerous technical bug fixes.

In addition to combining different universes from the franchise, The Dawn of the Tiberium Age also offers a large selection of campaigns (both singleplayer and cooperative), a wealth of standalone missions, and an extensive multiplayer mode. In many aspects, the game also significantly improves upon the gameplay and graphics of the originals. Such extensive content is the result of many years of development—the project’s first version was released 19 years ago.

Let us also remember that The Dawn of the Tiberium Age is a completely standalone game and does not require you to own any official installments of the series. The developers were able to release the project in this form because, long ago, Electronic Arts made slightly stripped-down versions of several early entries in the series available for free, allowing fans today to build on the foundations of those releases.
