The Hand of Nod is a signature structure of the Brotherhood of Nod, serving as the barracks.

Background

It is perhaps one of Nod's most recognizable and distinct buildings, integrating the shape of a human hand into the architecture. This reflects the Brotherhood's use of symbolism. In this case, the infantry trained are the "hands" of Nod, changing the world according to Kane's will.

Gameplay

• The building trains infantry and is also a prerequisite for other, more advanced structures.
• The Hand of Nod is a production structure essential for training infantry, only one unit may be trained at a time in the build queue.
• The more Hand of Nods that are controlled by a commander the faster infantry units will be trained.
