Cradle Of My Temple

Cradle Of My Temple is the final mission of the Nod campaign in Command & Conquer.

Background
With GDI's ion cannon firing codes now in the hands of Nod, Kane now deemed it the perfect time to push GDI out of Africa for good. As a symbol of Nod's firm grip over the continent, Kane planned to build a Temple of Nod at Cape Town, South Africa - the location of GDI's last stronghold. Kane left the task to his second-in-command while he prepared the pieces to hack into GDI's ion cannon defence matrix.

Aftermath
GDI had lost their last foothold on Africa, and Nod cemented their control over the Third World continent. Nod had managed to hack into GDI's ion cannon network by bypasing its defence matrix, and the Nod commander was given the opportunity by Kane to fire the orbital weapon onto one of the Western monuments - the White House, the Eiffel Tower, Brandenburg Gate or Buckingham Palace.

Although Nod seemingly triumphed over GDI, their operations in Europe could not match the successes enjoyed in Africa. GDI would retaliate ferociously which culminated in the climatic Battle of Sarajevo that led to Kane's "death" and the fracturing of Nod. However GDI would never be able to liberate Africa completely even thirty years after the end of the First Tiberium War.
