Invisibility Cloak: Difference between revisions

* Each ''[[Command and& Conquer]]'' [[Real Time Strategy|RTS]] makes sure that it goes public with some kind of active camouflage unit. In the earlier games, especially before the ''Generals'' saga was even here, it's more likely that Invisibility Cloak is [[Planet of Hats|the expertise of a certain faction]]. A rule of thumb to reveal an enemy unit is to have a friendly unit approach it, use sensors or hurt the enemy unit.

** In the ''[[Command and& Conquer: Tiberium|Tiberium]]'' saga, the Brotherhood of Nod is rather fond of Invisibility Cloaks and is specifically mentioned to be the leader in that field. It first began with "Ezekiel's Wheel" Stealth Tanks and the occasional [[Crate Expectation]] bonus when the very first ''C&C'' game, ''Tiberian Dawn'', debuted in 1995. And then, it just expanded from there. ''Tiberian Sun'' moved on to footsoldier and building versions when it included the aptly-named Chameleon Spy, as well as mobile and stationary Stealth Generators that can generate invisibility fields base-wide. As of ''Tiberium Wars'', Nod even gained a [[Support Power]] derivative.

** The ''[[Command and& Conquer: Red Alert|Red Alert]]'' series takes Invisibility Cloak differently, what with even wackier science. The Allies understand this trope as the ability to jam radar or generate [[Fog of War]] using specialist vehicles and buildings. Although they mostly subvert this trope, they do learn to build a [[No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup|one-time prototype]] [[Awesome Personnel Carrier|S.Tank-APC hybrid]] in ''[[Expansion Pack|Red Alert: Aftermath]]''. ''Red Alert 2'' sees no changes in their mindset: [[Mobile Shrubbery|Mirage Tanks]] are implied to use holograms to hide themselves. The Soviets (and later on, Yuri's army and Imperial Japan) are more straightforward about this with submarine technology, which survived all the way to ''Red Alert 3''.

** ''[[Command and& Conquer: Generals|Generals]]'' and ''Generals: Zero Hour'' are easily the most generous and the least sci-fi ''C&C'' games with this trope, seeing how Invisibility Cloak (innate or attained by upgrade) can apply to aircraft, footsoldiers, vehicles and even buildings alike. Justifiable in a sense that most of it is merely from modern camouflage technology, rather than from [[Applied Phlebotinum]]. The extremest of extreme goes to none other than ''Zero Hour'''s Stealth General, Prince Kassad. He has the [[Support Power]] to cast an Invisibility Cloaks on literally ''anything''.

* ''[[Super Smash Bros.|Super Smash Bros Melee]]'', cloaking device. These also prevent you from seeing yourself. Of course this [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard|doesn't affect the AI in any way]].
