The foundation of any base starts with the Mobile Construction Vehicle (MCV). Able to deploy itself into a fully functioning Construction Yard, the MCV is a highly prized piece of equipment for both GDI and Nod. To deploy the MCV, select it, then double-click. If you get a "no deploy" cursor, something is blocking deployment of the unit. Move any other vehicles and infantry away from it, or move it away from trees or rocks that would prevent deployment.

The Mobile Construction Vehicle, or MCV, is the base construction vehicle of GDI and Nod in Tiberian Sun and Firestorm.

Background[]

The foundation of any base starts with the Mobile Construction Vehicle. Able to deploy itself into a fully functioning Construction Yard, the MCV is a highly prized piece of equipment for both GDI and Nod.

Game unit[]

The MCV is heavily armored, but also extremely slow, though this can be mitigated somewhat through the use of Orca Carryall in GDI's case. Since it is completely unarmed and very expensive, it must be escorted by other forces while en route to unpack location.

AI behavior[]

In skirmish, any MCVs owned by the AI will be ordered to deploy immediately. Furthermore, it will not create new MCVs to expand or increase build speed, and will only replace destroyed ones.

The AI is not programmed to unpack Construction Yards.

The AI in skirmish has the notorious ability to rebuild MCVs even if they lack access to their Tier 3 arsenal, so it is encouraged to destroy all their War Factories to prevent this. The higher the difficulty, the more likely the AI will prioritize rebuilding their MCV.
