Inspired by the Gulf War, the socio-political climate at the time and various other ideas, however, it soon followed down a path that was unique for a strategy title. But rather than rest on their laurels, as Westwood co-founder Brett Sperry recounted in a 2001 Gamespot feature by Bruce Geyrk, “it was time to build the ultimate RTS without the ‘leg up’ from a license like Dune.” The budding project was originally planned to be a high fantasy affair, similar to what a then-newly christened Blizzard Entertainment was conceiving, with 1994’s Warcraft: Orcs and Humans being the end product. Inspired by and building upon gameplay mechanics introduced in the Genesis game Herzog Zwei(made in 1989 by Technosoft), the developers codified the foundations of RTS as it’s known today, such as mouse-and-keyboard controls and base building. Its release of Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty in 1992, however, would bring it lasting fame in the history books. Westwood – founded in 1985 and acquired by Virgin Games (later, Virgin Interactive) seven years later – had already gained a solid reputation, having worked on RPGs such as DragonStrike in and the first two Eye of the Beholder titles, to name a few. To understand the game and its significance, one need only to turn the clock back to the early 1990s. Please keep in mind that using that feature, MCV number one will actually be your second base.Westwood Studio’s Command and Conquer is one of the most important games in the 1990s computer game landscape. The initial resources after founding a new base can be found in the Arsenal section of the game, bottom right corner. Your bases both show up highlighted in teal and for the first few hours afrer placement the base is protected under a shield allowing you time to gather resources and upgrade before you become vunerable to attack. Once researched the MCV button appears on the Base view and once clicked allows you to found a new base on the Region Map within 20.5 spaces of an exisitng base. The MCV is expensive and while Tiberium and Crystals gathered on each base is solely available to the base they are mined on (though they can be transfered at the cost of Credits) Credits earned from battles and Refinerys are shared across all bases. You can find the MCV under the "Special" tab on the Research Menu. The first base is gifted to you but from then on you will need to spend Research Points and Credits on researching ever more expensive MCV's to build additional Bases.
The MCV is the unit that allows the player to create another base.
