      @@Jack29245 That is true in one sense but in another sense, they never actually fully explained what the Tacitus was or what it did so in another sense they were free to come up with endless possibilities for that. My assumption was that the Tacitus would allow Nod to invade the Scrin homeworld and CNC would expand to a war over 2 planets. GDI would lag behind at the beginning but then discover new tech to be able to follow Nod to the Scrin homeworld. That could have been a starting point in my eyes.

    I feel like Tiberium wouldn't feel too out of place in a Lovecraft story. I mean it already has some of the base requirements for a non-sentient eldritch entity of unknowable and alien power ala The Color from 'The Colour Out of Space'. It may not be as _much_ of an abomination but it has been described as otherworldly and alien. we still have only a vague and primitive understanding. But the things that it spawns and mutants are _certainly_ Lovecraftian, plant matter turning to a fleshy material, horse-sized croc-hounds that shoot Tib spikes, and a living battle-blimp that shoots lighting.
    Tiberium is also the ultimate MacGuffin that could literally do anything with how vague and mysterious it is. Need Psychic dream defense? Boom, Tiberium. Other dimensional creatures and energies? Boom, Tiberium. Need a permanent but cheap and effective defensive No Man's Land? Boom, Tiberium. Need an answer to God's angels and other alien gods kicking in the door? Boom, Tiberium. Technological renaissance in the need of a shot in the arm? Boom, Green Apocalypse Crystal.

    That description of the tiberium landscape from 13:26 onward is so perfect. To me, that description illustrates the big difference between the tib universe vis a vis Red Alert. Whereas I love Red Alert for the gameplay and it´s rather fun story and lore, the Tiberium Universe is just so dark and depressing. The tone is much more serious. And just as the Red Alert 2 gameplay is fun and fast the Tiberian Sun gameplay is slower, more methodical, with a threathening and darker soundtrack. It is almost as if the game is emulating the spread of Tiberium over our planet. Well made video as always!

The driver/commander sits in a big red glass cupola in the front of the tank; it is like a big bright target on a huge weakspot. The Predator is slightly more believable, but it still suffers from some odd design decisions, with the tank treads being completely exposed without any armour at all.

    I seem to have played most of the RTS games *other* than C&C when I was younger so it's nice to see a guided tour of the lore from various sources. Miracle elements can be an awesome addition to a plot that will make significant use of them, but I feel them having a series of major drawbacks (beyond just explosive volatility or whatever) are just as important as their potency.

    • @NoStringsPrd
      @NoStringsPrd  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I can see that, they look a little like it and they do make weird noises, there's a C&C3 mod (can't remember which) that interprets them like that. I go by the FS manual (gamepedia.cursecdn.com/cnc_gamepedia_en/3/37/Manual_Firestorm.pdf?version=57236bd9e559bb3d976b757e6373f380) which refers to them as 'Canus Tiberius', which I think is perhaps the 'Canis' genus misspelled, as in pertaining to canines. Even though they have tusks, I think it fits. The C&C3 mod The Forgotten has I think the most faithful rendition of the old Tib Sun sprites, only without the tusks, there's a bit of footage of them at 3:00 in my video on The Forgotten if you're interested
