Starting the game

Please be patient while the game is preparing... It will need some time - but EVA will tell you when preparations have finished.

The story so far

The GDI suffered a defeat in the southern part of Germany when they tried to invade into the Alpian fortress.
Now they retreated to the northern part of Europe: Finland. They found a hideway in the coastal area nearby a city.

Here the GDI started to develop measures to influence the weather. But they didn't think of the monster they unleashed after they switched on the weather control station.

So, 8 Players will have a fight fest on ice (beware, it's thin....) and will discover the evil of the GDI research station in their hideway. The secret area holds some surprises at will....

The map starts around Friday noon (the 13th), while people are gathering on the street and waiting for the bus to take them home after they had lunch in the lake shore restaurant.
Evening is to come while the train has departed ... and battle is imminent
Fright night is fight fest....

Play the map, either in skirmish mode or in multiplayer - on your own in deathmatch mode or in coop-mode.
Discover the secrets of the small cities, the railway station and the research facilities...

The map was designed to somehow reflect the reality of the shore of Finland at the East Sea in Europe. The ice is built to carry one big vehicle at a time - so beware....

The Do's and Dont's

Of course this map is spiced up with some artificial intelligence. Why this? Well, this is to have more fun while playing against each other - and to increase your points while destroying some specific buildings.

Please be aware of some specialties:

The Do's

• You may shoot civilians or crush their cars and buildings. This can be advantageous to train your units. But be a friend and let the public transportation system pass.
• There are several ways to reach your opponent's base. Do not just rush straightly into his defense, instead consider a detour to surprise him. Each base has two entrances.
• The tunnels and ice areas are useful shortcuts
• The retreated GDI have some installations which are worth considering a sudden raid
• The night mode can help you advancing while being covered in the dark.

The Dont's

• Never start a war in the blue tiberium fields. This resource is way too costly to waste it.
• Pay attention about the creatures which are lurking in the dark.
• Do not think your base is a fortress for all time
• Do not stay where you started

The Game within the Game

The spice of a multiplayer game is to also ally with your friend and seek a challenge against a third party - someone who can be victimized to have more fun while playing. Here are your orders:

The Tiberium Farm

Look at the secret laboratories. Here, the GDI seem to grow tiberium - and they breed a lifeform. The creatures are said to have harvesters as their primary meal.

Try to avoid the farm.

The Research Station

Look at the picture below. This is the research station. You will find several installations:

The Weather Control Station:

This building is responsible for some devastative thunderstorms and other strange weather symptoms.
Try to destroy the building if you think you can handle it.

The Drop Pod Node:

This building is a training facility for the drop pod personnel. Try to investigate what it's used for....

Some teasers...

Last but not least here are some teasers:

Afternoon in Nod city. Some GDI tanks enter the quiet scene.
The ice is thin in the early morning...
An ion storm hits the storage buildings nearby the railway station in the middle of the night
Some GDI mammoth tanks clean up Nod city in the late evening.
Something is going on inside the laboratories after the cargo train unloaded its freight...
