Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars NOD Build Orders and Strategy



These are some good strategies to try when using NOD as your race.

Shadow Team Rush
*Build a Power Plant (Optional Emissary at the same time) *Build a Hand of Nod *Build a Secret Shrine *Build a Refinery *While the Refinery is in construction, build two Shadow Teams, summon two more, and sell the Shrine afterwards to get a fifth team. *Build another Refinery *Build a Factory *As soon as you get your 5 shadow teams built, You want to use them to harass the enemy. Use the shadow teams to go for refineries, war/vehicle factories, etc, but don't go for the constuction yard since the 5 shadow teams won't be able to destroy it with one hit. The key is to micro-manage these teams well and get a lot of use out of them while building up your own economy. I would suggest moving into a scorpian spamming(more factories and more refineries) mode after the above build order has been executed.

Quick Economy and Scorpian Spam tactic
*Build Crane (Optional Emissary at the same time)
*Build Refinery
*Build Power Plant
*Build Refinery
*Build War Factory
*Build Power Plant
*Build Refinery
*Build War Factory
*Build Refinery
*Build War Factory
After you get the war factory up, you can start spamming scorpians. One good thing to do is to scout out the enemies base with a bike as well so you can get an idea what they are doing. From this point in the build order, you can either expand with more refineries and war factories, or you can tech up. If you decide to tech up, the venom can be very powerful after it is upgraded with the laser upgrade. Try to go for map control, along with harassing with your scorpians in this tactic.

Quick Scorpians, Venoms, and Tech
*Build Crane (Optional Emissary at the same time)
*Build Refinery
*Build Power Plant
*Build Refinery
*Build War Factory
*Build Power Plant
*Build Refinery
*Build Operations Centre
*Build Refinery
*Build Air Tower
*Build Power Plant
*Build Air Tower
*Build War Factory
*Build Tech Lab (laser upgrade)
This is pretty much just a slightly quick tech up while spamming scorpians and venoms. This is a bit of a risky strategy since it takes awhile to get a decent size force built up. After the build order above, you will want to put up more refineries and another war factory or two. The scorpian/venom combo is one of the best in the game, and it is very tough to stop after the laser upgrade has been completed.
