Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn is a real-time strategy game released in 1995, marking the beginning of one of the most influential RTS series in gaming history. Developed by Westwood Studios, the game sets the core standards of the genre: classic interface, two unique factions (GDI and the Brotherhood of NOD), FMV cutscenes, resource collection and real-time base building.
The player leads an army in a conflict over the rare alien mineral Tiberium. The story unfolds through briefings and full-motion videos with real actors, while missions offer both open battlefield combat and well-designed tactical operations. The game stands out with its dark atmosphere, futuristic setting and memorable soundtrack.
At launch, Tiberian Dawn becomes a revolution and a foundation for an entire generation of RTS games.
Today, the game remains a key part of the retro RTS community. Thanks to the release of the source code and the OpenRA project, the modding scene keeps growing - with remasters on modern engines, improved campaigns, multiplayer balancing, visual overhauls and even total conversions. Some fans create alternate missions with new storylines and organize tournaments.
Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn continues to inspire retro enthusiasts and modders alike, maintaining its status as a living classic.
