The second-generation Hand of Nod was a Nod infantry training and housing facility during the Second Tiberium War and the Firestorm Conflict.

Background

The Hand of Nod had a very low profile and its exterior was shaped like a human hand, grasping the ground. Almost all of its internal facilities were located underground. From a statement by CABAL, it was revealed that Nod had their infantry "shipped" onto the structure in hibernated state (in a specialized container) and awakened on site to be deployed. The Hand of Nod was replaced by the next generation of the Hand of Nod.

Game building

The Hand of Nod takes up 6 ground tiles. Only 5 units may be trained at a time in the build queue. The more Hands of Nod a player owns, the faster the infantry production will be.
