      Was about to comment the same. The only piece of that Tib-game-that-shall-not-be-spoken-of that I like is the fact that GDI, who have the technology and experience building starships and space assets, actually did something with it to prepare for possible Scrin's return after the third game.
      Imagine how interesting it would be to see a fleet action between a group of Kodiak-class battlecruisers going toe-to-toe with Scrin's invasion fleet.

An addict doesn't pick up a knife to fight, they pick it up to feed the addiction. meanwhile mankind has no such addiction and no reservations on using tiberium however they need to.

    I had always hoped the Brotherhoods ascension in TW3 via the tower was to teleport all their forces in a mass exodus. They use the tower to leave Earth and establish a colony, taking some Tiberium with them to continue its use elsewhere. We'd eventually see them establish a space force.
    Without Nod around, GDI is able to refocus efforts on preserving the climate and turning areas of yellow zones back into blue, we could see it revert back to something along the lines of TW2 flora and fauna but with areas of the advanced crystal forums in the oldest of red zones.
    Beyond this we know the Scrin will make another go at Earth, they will also most likely retaliate and hunt the Nod Exodus forces where ever they have ended up and established themselves.
    Tiberian Sun is by far my favorite era of this franchise and every time I see the cinematics, part of me sees some SG1 in there. Then my brain fantasizes of a slower paced Tiberium war where we have a SG1 like tv show with a Nod and GDI cast. I see the Kodiak and think of the Prometheus and how hard it took SG1 to get there, what a great achievement it was watching over the course of the show. I could easily see a story arch of that with GDI. The Scrin - when added, would probably come out similar to how the Wraith were like in SG: Atlantis.
    Anyhow, I digress, thanks for making another great video on my favorite sci fi verse.

    What I'm curious about with the crash site of the GDSS Philadelphia are the two open patches next to it that looked like sites for some kind of structures with vehicle tracks leading to them that perhaps was where the ZOCOM salvage crew set up a temporary base on and after completing the job where then sold off or redeployed.
    I think its safe to presume that whatever was left that could be useful from the Philadelphia had long since been removed by either GDI ZOCOM or whatever scavengers picked through what's left, otherwise it would've been at least a secondary objective target to claim had there been anything worthwhile to gain from it.

    "Spacecom wanted to save some money", it was one of the Director Boyle`s choice made during GDI Ecological Recovery Project (he`s director of Treasury after all). His shady and incompetent leadership during before and at the event CNC3 take place cause not only GDI nearly lost everything, but also the lost of New Eden and billions of lives on Earth in the hand of Scrin. It was him, the GDI weakness that was exploited by the Kane. All this time i always believe that was he "not onboard" and not able to attend the Energy Summit not without purpose, since there`s never a coincidence in Kane`s plan.

      Well, they have multiple spaceports like Kennedy Space Center where in a near perfect future, there was more emphasis on the funding of the space program. So they brought in building materials through even a bigger fleet of space shuttles like the International Space Station. But in the alternative future, they ultimately end up building something bigger than what we have now during the modern era.

      It is said that the Red Alert timeline (i.e. RA2 and beyond) spawned from the Allied victory in the first Red Alert, whereas the Tiberium timeline is spawned from the Soviet victory. I don't know how those two endings affected the arrival of the Tiberium on Earth, but the two timelines actually seem to be parallel to each other.

      @@18Krieger No, because it's the Soviet ending that shows Kane coming into power. Allied ending doesn't even mention or show Kane, at all.
      With the Soviet ending, it seems that Stalin's death during the cutscene made the Soviet victory very short lived, and USSR somehow collapses soon after too. The world goes back to normal... until the Tiberium shows up.
      With the Allied ending, it looks to be that the Allied put USSR on their leash, maybe even installing a puppet leader. The clue for this is in the RA2 opening cutscene, when the Soviet leader Romanov "rebels" against the Allied by launching a surprise attack against the Allied, when the Allied and the USSR were supposed to be allies, according to the U.S. president. Obviously, no Tiberium arrived on earth in this timeline.

    Kind of an off-topic trivia, but the reason why the Kodiak was destroyed in the early stages of the Firestorm expansion was to kill off some the characters from the original Tiberian Sun. According to what I can gather from the grapevine (so take it with a grain of salt), the developers disliked working with the characters, which was why you the player take the role of an unnamed commander once again, which has since been the norm throughout the Command and Conquer franchise. The canon of the Tiberium Wars novel is dubious at best, but at the very least, McNeil (the GDI commander from Tiberian Sun) is implied to have survived in lieu of not being onboard the Kodiak when it crashed. As always, take these with a grain of salt, cause the canon of the Tiberium saga is, as I said, dubious at best.

    • @floricel_112
      @floricel_112 25 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Whether that was a good decision or not, or whether this is true or not, all I'll say is that I instantly felt more invested as the nameless "commander" during the Firestorm campaign than just watching McNeil's B action movie escapades. Nod's base campaign was fun to follow though, due to Slavik being a much better POV character thanks to being much better characterized: the introduction showcases his fearlessness and resolute willpower in the face of painful toxins and potential death; when confronting the traitor in his team he deals with him with cold, ruthless efficiency; he cracks a joke about his partner's "death", congratulating her for it, which slightly humanizes; when executing Hassan he shows he knows how to work a crowd, showing that he can be charismatic to motivate others; he was on good terms with his female partner and typically being on the same wavelenght (due to both being horrible people and fanatically loyal to Kane), bouncing off of each other very well (also not having a forced romantic subplot YAY), as well as his general ruthlessness throughout the campaign ("define favorable outcome" "they all DIE!" "that will do"). Like, what can you say about McNeil other than "Han Solo from episode V, but less interesting"?

    Its really make sense for GDI has a superiority in Space since they have technology to use ion canon and early deployment in space.
    Whlie the Brotherhood got the underground networking which is more difficulty to track and locate on their bases and due to stealth technology in their advantage.

      This kind of contrast actually parallels a lot of situations around the globe, if you think about it.

      Afghanistan/Taliban: difficult to find tunnel networks.
      South Korea: superior technology, backed by one of the world's leading powers (U.S.).
      North Korea: mostly relies on the threat of its nuclear arsenal, but also its huge and expansive tunnel network to deploy troops and transport materials.

    Man, it would've been amazing if space was the only option left for GDI in a possible Command & Conquer 4!
    GDI creates orbital stations for living populace, while Nod attempts to regain all control on Earth's ground. I say "attempt" because, _well,_ the Forgotten tribes are still out there and could be using this increase in Tiberium proliferation to regain more land for themselves.
    That and the possibility of LEGION being overwritten and taken over by CABAL's remains could mean that the Brotherhood is still much safer sticking to Threshold 19. *Unless the Scrin come through it again.*
    If, however, the Scrin send a "recognaissance fleet" in order to first reactivate the tower so that *then* the full invasion can commence, then it might fall on GDI's space forces to find a way to deter and stop said fleet, possibly becoming Humanity's most important line of defense.

      The thing with tiberium is that it mostly doesn't reach deep enough to where simply blasting the surface to bits with large bombs wouldn't destroy it completely, and the imperium in particular will be willing and ready to do it. And while the scrin are the only ones with full knowledge about tiberium, that doesn't mean that other factions can't find out how to deal with it on their own. The asteroid based spreading would also not be too hard to deal with because large asteroids are sth. most factions already solve by way of intercepting them before they reach atmosphere, so the tiberium gets obliterated before it can do anything. What I believe would be the most obvious place for tiberium to be would be space hulks, because most factions won't and/or can't perform a deep clean of those, so they will regrow when in the warp.

  • @dragonking322

    Simple lore fix to make both the RA timeline and the Kane timeline sync up and make sense. RA2 and onwards only exsist after an Allied victory against the soviets, and the Kane timeline only exists if there's a Soviet victory and Kane meets stalin. Stalin would give kane a free hand to operate in Sarajevo in the soviet aligned state of Yugoslavia.
    In both timelines the tiberium asteroid should impact in the same location but in RA's the focus would be on containment as the west (including the republic of italy) would have more resources from having to spend less on defense spending. This is why we don't see the militarization of low orbit in the RA timeline. In the Kane timeline France, England, and the US are never really ravaged by war but agree to partition Germany and dismantle the British and french colonial sphere in the middle east and beyond in exchange for an armistice. If NATO forms it's far smaller in scope while the UN's formation becomes more driven by soveits as a means to allow them to recover from the war. In the soviet victory timeline Stalin bankrupts the USSR despite expanding what would be the warsaw pact states. Germany still reunites at the end of the 80s and at the start of the 90s the russian economic collapse still happens leading the former soviet states even further into needing the UN for the maintenance of peace and order. This need of UN intervention leads many none state aligned entities and terrorist cells to pop up around the wold, one of them being the brotherhood of NOD.
