Obelisk Of Light

(Concept Art)



Strength: Strong
Armour: Strong
Cost: 1200
Power: -120


The Obelisk Of Light is one of Nod’s most effective defensive structures, spanning from the The First Tiberium War. The Obelisk of Light charges and then fires a devastating laser beam at it’s targets causing massive damage.

ZZZZAP! I love the look of it, though if the base was turned the other way it'll look more...hmm...angular.

Looks like as if there was a magazine behind the obelisk. Makes the whole thing appear as a huge gun placed vertically #Tongue

Also, I'm not that fond of the base :/ IMO the obelisk should always curve on itself, like the original did. TS is an exception #Tongue

Again, curve it. The TD and TW ones look menacing because they curve. TS' and this one look like some metal god are flipping off GDI.

Actually, the back looks like some laser space AK-47...

it's a compromise between an actual "obelisk" and the TS design and based off early Nod architecture skethes of evil gary.

it's "hightech egyptian" look alike and i think that is ok.

I think they looked menacing because they ztype'd your ztype up!

I actually prefer it straight. It looks much more like an architectural simplicity that way, and a construction possibility for a faction like Nod. The only thing I dont like are the 6 dots, just below the eye. Something about them is... off.

Other than that, its a solid design, and pretty original too. Better than anything I could have hoped to design.

I don't thnk the eye bit at the front is very good... looks like a weak spot to me; not very good for a defensive structure.

On what basis did he add an "Eye" on it? Is it perhaps because TS Nod temple had an Eye thing on top, or as an alterante to the pending red light on the TS obelisk?

TBH i really like this concept, probably the best one i've seen that blubb has worked on. very interesting. it would be neat if the tail was actually down on the ground, then when an enemy approached, the tail would flex, charge, and fire at the enemy. just an idea though.

nice eye cany, though I think the obelisk shooud be bent towards the big part of the base (the eye) instead of away from it, then the render rotated so that the eye part, as cool as it is, is facing away from the viewer

or bend only the top part, so it has again the TD similar section style and resembles more a scorpion tail.

Anyway, these sketches are awesome. I wish we would have such talented concept artist for TI.
Echt tolle Arbeit Blubb!

In that case the obelisk should stay erect, though.

Did you really just take that image and use MS Paint to flip a little square in the render? xD

That was funny.

IMO, this is the least cool design I've seen for new units on TO. But it's still good. Just... Relatively boring.

Maybe take that GDI-Getting-Flipped-Off idea a bit further? =)

The eye seems to imply symbolically a "gaze of death".

I don't understand how such structure can be considered strong. It seems like the tail is very easy to shot off, same for the eye (if control room is located there (but this is just a wild guess)).

Nod obelisks never had control rooms - and no - Renegade ones dont count Wink

Besides. Obelisks just -are- strong. No matter what they look like. You did play TD, no?

That and TD obelisks were pretty weak, actually. It's just that only a handful of units could outrange it, and thus prove it fragile.

So if you out-range this one, then you can prove it fragile #Tongue

Yeah, about 5 medium tanks can take out an oblesik with zero to one medium tank dying.

This model required 3x3 room! I think it will a bit problem if used in original campaign which only take 2x2 space. May be good for Cabal base defense in new missions..

That one managed to just fit 2x2.

The one I have nearly finished (I remade the Obelisk since Vef never did damage or buildup, to my knowledge) also fits to 2x2.

I think its looks great, but I think a larger crystal would make it look alot meaner, It should intimidate.

Well I'm going for the intimidation occuring when it fires, in the form of a terrifying charge and glow, and that horrifying hum (I recall how terrifying it was to meet the obelisk in that hammerfest mission... Oh God)

Looks cool design wise

I am sure a bigger crystal in terms of reality would make the beam dissipate into smaller less focused beams

Any ideas to buff its ability?
