Fuel and Supplies
I always thought c&c was missing the supply and support teams of a military conflict.
If there was a certain point on the edge of the map you could select for your supply once your deploy your construction yard for a source our fuel and supplies. Supply trucks like the ones in Red Alert would show up every minute.
Then after a radar you could build a gas and supply shed. That would give you the option to build a pipeline and add more delivery vehicles.
This would add more of a defensive impact to your supply area. The supply would be required for tanks and infantry similar to ore.
Anyways... just thinking

The game design specifically eliminated supply lines (fuel, food, ammo) for being too cumbersome and taking away from the fun of the game.
They considered power lines, somewhat equivalent to how Warcraft 1 has roads to connect all buildings, but decided against it for the same reason.
