Tacitus Archive

Tacitus Archive is a neutral tech structure, which grants access to highly advanced units upon being captured.

Tiberium Essence[]

Tacitus Archive was added to replace the useless Expansion Point tech structure in Tiberium Essence version 1.6. Any Commander who captures a Tacitus Archive may deploy faction specific special units. It also provides a small ground control area to deploy structures. Each faction has its own method to bring in the units purchased from the structure.

GDI deploys the following units via a small Orca Dropship:

Nod deploys the following units via its Tunnel Network:

Scrin deploys the following units via teleportation:

Forgotten do not currently have Tacitus Archive units.

When a Tacitus Archive is destroyed, it becomes a Tacitus Archive Rubble. While in this state, the Archive is invulnerable, and its functions can be restored by an engineer unit.

Trivia[]

Tacitus Archive was originally required to construct Kodiak II, Montauk and Conqueror from their respective production facilities, working similarly to Secret Lab tech structure in C&C Yuri's Revenge.
It uses the retextured model of GDI Future-Tech Lab from the vanilla game, which in-turn reuses the GDI Barracks concept from GDI Style Guide.
Advanced units from other factions can be produced by capturing the required structures. (E.g. A GDI commander may deploy Venoms after capturing a Nod Construction Yard).
