Does anyone here have the TD manual or know exactly why Tiberium was first harvested, and what its properties for this are? I mean, why is it useful, and why do they pay for its harvesting?

Any help on this will be hot ;)

Thanks

I AM working on it dude... just being really busy ;)

Tiberium is a non-base carbon element. It was called tiberium after the river it landed nearby: tiba (I think) where Nod found it. Its got loads of precious minerals in it as it sucks them up like a sponge. It also produces loads of dangerous gases. It affects human respiratory systems but long-term effects were unknown.

It spreads underground or by trees. In the old days the only effect way to eradicate it was by fire (a flamethrower torches a tree in a FMV), nukes or by harvesting.

I will give you the composition soon..

The river was the Tiber in Italy, which runs through Rome.

Oh yeah, I forgot that it sucked up minerals from the soil. I suppose that has somethin' to do with why it is so valuable

(Mostly I only got this thread up 'cause I thought you'd forgot AG ;) Plus, someone else might have had another answer that helped...)

Yeah Tiberium is basically a leech. As a byproduct of its growth, hazardous gas and mutations can occur. Unknown elements have also been detected in Tiberium.

Tiberium presents often at warm,tropic and subtropic fields.there you go

Brotherhood of Nod Database.... accessing Tiberium files....loaded

What is Tiberium?
Tiberium is a non base copper element that is still 1.5% unidentified. tiberium contains many dangerous gases that are hazordous to all life. Around 28% of these gaxes are also unidentified.

The Growth of Tiberium
Tiberium grows much like a sponge, soaking up ground minerals and nutrients. This makes other plant life quickly die off. The only regions of the earth that have not been covered are the polar regions. This is because there is not enough nutrients in the ground to sustain tiberium spores. Tiberium grows radidly, turning a small park into a poisonous wasteland in hours.

How Tiberium was Discovered
Tiberium was introduced to earth when a meteor fell to earth in 1999. It was found by either GDI or Nod. GDI's story is that it was named after the river Tiber where it landed, in Italy. However the more probable story is Nod's. Kane claims that he named it after the Roman emporer, Tiberius. It is more probable that Nod discovered tiberium because they were the first to develop Tiberium harvesters and refineries.

How Valubale is Tiberium and why?
Tiberium is very valubale because of it's alien nature and also from all of the nuitrients it gathers. Tiberium is worth twice it's weight in gold and is highly prized.

The Drawbacks of Tiberium
However, Tiberium still has it's drawbacks. It devestates the landscape around it and produces gases that eventually make the atmosphere unbreathable. Now over a 1/2 of civilian deaths are related to tberium somehow. Infantry suffer damage by walking across tiberium.

Tiberium Mutations
Tiberium has been know to cause major mutations to humans, plants, and wildlife.

The Tiberium Fiend is a knd of mutated cross between a dog and a pig. It has large chunks of tiberium growing on it's back.

The Visteriod is a living ball of flesh and matter, generating energy to attack lifeforms. It simply slimes the opponent to death.

Other lifeforms have been detected but currently the Tiberium floater does not seem to be mutated from any earth animal. The floater harms opponents by spraying chemical waste at them.

Tiberium Veinholes are dangerous pits with teeth. They use their rapidly growing tenticles to destroy vehicles. Nod harvests the viens to construct chemicial missiles.

The Top People in Tiberium Research
The people in the world that know the most about tiberium are Kane, GDI scientest, Dr Ingetno Mobius and his daughter, Sydney Mobius.

The most comman ways to get rid of Tiberium
The More comman ways to get rid of Tiberium are Harvesting and Flame weapons.
Nuclear weapons and Ion cannons have also proved effective. GDI tried to design a chemicial to counteract tiberium but it failed.

Tiberium Weapons
The Brotherhood of Nod have developed weapons with tiberium. The chem sprayer is like a flamethrower that sprays tiberium waste. As mentioned earlier, Nod also uses veins to construct deadly chem missiles.

Harvesting Tiberium
Nod was the first to develop a means of Harvesting and Storing Tiberium. Using highly armoured, tracked vehicles called harvesters to mine it, Refineries to process it and Silos to store it. All of these are made of the strongest of titanium alloys to stop the raw tiberium from melting it's way through.
