The Brotherhood of Nod relies on large numbers of cheap, expendable units at the low tiers to provide the "distraction" and on specialized, high-tech elite units to deliver the devastating strike. Stealth technology is a staple of Nod's arsenal, along with the iconic Obelisk of Light and the unquenchable Temple of Nod. In addition, Nod's ongoing research into Tiberium-based weapons has produced several terrifying support powers.
For a full list of support powers and unit upgrades, please refer to the

Slogans
The Brotherhood likes to express its ideology in catchy slogans or mottos. Here are a few of them.
- Brotherhood. Unity. Peace.
- Peace through power.
- One vision, one purpose.
- "No longer shall the world be dominated by the legacy of these fools." (from Frank Klepacki's "No Mercy")
All structures are built at the
Construction Yard. Additionally, structures can be built in a simultaneous build queue at every
Crane, but Cranes cannot build defensive structures (Turrets, Obelisk of Light), super weapons (the Temple of Nod), other Cranes, or Emissaries. Structures are produced into two separate, independent build queues, one for main structures (Crane, Power Plant, Refinery, Hand of Nod, Secret Shrine, War Factory, Operations Center, Air Tower, Tech Lag, Tiberium Chemical Plant) and one for support structures (Tiberium Silo, Turrets, Obelisk of Light, Disruption Tower, Temple of Nod).
