Tiberium Essence

Tiberium Essence is a mod for Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. It is dedicated to return some essential elements and features from previous C&C games, in particular Tiberian Sun. For this reason some of the units that were "updated" in this mod have again their older look (for example, the Flame tank is now once more a Subterranean tank) and many units from Tiberian Sun were added back in the field. A notable addition is that of the Mammoth Mk. II, which can now be deployed to the battlefield through the use of a new structure.

The mod also replaces some units (for example, the Pitbull is replaced by the old Wolverine, and the Predator by the Titan) and adds some completely new ones (mainly to the Scrin). There are also many minor visual, sound or balance changes in the mod to make the overall game feel better.
