The Dawn of the Tiberium Age is a Tiberian Sun to Tiberian Dawn (C&C
Gold) total conversion and it was my intention to make it both look and
play as similar to Tiberian Dawn as possible, while taking advantage of
Tiberian Sun features (these include skirmish, multiplayer support,
drag-scrolling, high resolutions, customizable keyboard short keys and
many others).
This mod started off as a solo project and I kept it quiet to most
people until the release of the very first version, after which I
slowly squired a staff.

- Maps

To view all the maps included with the current version of DTA, visit http://dta.ppmsite.com/maps
You can also go to the following page to download more maps or to upload your own: http://dta.ppmsite.com/forums/mapping
If you wish to make your own maps there are a few things you need to know in advance:
- The map editor is located in the FinalSun sub-directory.
- Make sure you always place the impassable clear ground under the
foundation of any terrain objects that are bigger than 1x1, otherwise
infantry will be able to walk right through them and vehicles will
always attack them instead of moving around them.
- Make sure you never place tiberium on impassable tiles, because this
will cause harvesters to move onto those tiles and get stuck.
- Whenever you've finished a map for DTA, you can upload it at

- Comp Stomp maps
------------------
Comp Stomp maps are modified versions of normal maps and are
optimized for battles between multiple allied human players against
multiple allied AI players.
Since both human and AI players play differently on different
maps, the difficulty of the different Comp Stomp maps can vary,
which is why we came up with a difficulty rating system, which is
indicated with stars after the map name:
- (easy), ** (medium) and *** (hard).
How to play:
After starting a game on a Comp Stomp map, all players (both human
and AI) will be on the same side of the map and the MCVs will start
right next to an animated tile; a teleporter. All human players are
meant to send their MCVs into this teleporter so that they'll all
teleport to the opposite side of the map, while the AI players will
remain where they started.
To use a teleporter, first select your MCV and without first moving
it (this is important, because the MCV might refuse to enter the
teleporter from another location than where it started from) click
the teleporter (the mouse cursor will change to an "enter" cursor
when you move it over the teleporter). When the MCV enters the
teleporter, it'll instantly teleport to another location on the map
and to quickly find out where it went you can press either the F key
("follow") or the H key ("home") on your keyboard.
All locations where the human players will teleport to are also
revealed so that you can immediately ally with all other human players.
To become allies with another player, first select one of that
player's units or buildings and press "A" on your keyboard (all
players will need to do this at the start of the game).
