Maybe Kane actually wanted to recapture the first Temple at Sarajevo in Tiberian Sun because he didn't want GDI to get hold of his bedroom camera like the one in Cairo...
When I played Renegade for the first time and saw Cain's bedroom and the camera, I thought "it's a SECURITY camera, to see if Cain's was safe". Sooooo innocent
I never played Renegade so I never knew about the camera in Kane's bedroom... but now I can't stop wondering how much of NOD's funding came from Kane's OnlyFans account xD
9:07: What is important/interesting to know is that the Hebrew on the mural is essentially Genesis 4:16 "And Kane went out from the presence of the Lord, and took up residence in the Land of Nod."
I've always theorized that Kane may have posed as certain kings throughout history. He may have even been a Pharaoh at one point. We all know he is the bona-fide Caine who slew his brother Abel.
5:55 That image is an edited still from the final briefing video in Red Alert 2's Allied campaign where the Harriers fly over the American flag, edited with the Brotherhood's sigil instead.
I just now realized: When Kane isn’t in control of the tower, the color is red. When he is in control, it changes to purple. To me it signals the change in approach to Kane’s tactics. Personally, I believe he intends to take over the Scrin.
Between him and all those blondes in tight black outfits in Nod command, you could fund all the stealth tanks your heart desires without touching a single Tiberium crystal.
5:48 From my own theory, it was meant not only a cameo or a easteregg. Although meant to be a reference from Renegade 2 where it takes place BEFORE Tiberian Dawn and FIRST Renegade. Although the prequel was cancelled sadly.
Little correction: 6:52 Actually, this is Kane's personal desk where he briefs the Nod Commander personally after he offed Seth... The wall behind the desk is that giant LED screen that shows pictures that proverbially interpret what Kane says... Best example is the picture of floating hourglasses when Kane said "I see the future." during the briefing for either the Assassinate Dr Wong mission in Tanzania or the Destroy Mammoth Tank Factory mission in Angola...
I just learned more about this kind of stuff in the last 30 minutes that I have in over two decades of playing this franchise. Your dedication to giving us all of this lore, and everything is admirable.
My brother in Nod, I'm a god damn 40 year old geezer whose been playing C&C since the very first one released in 95 and I too was surprised to learn the temple resembled a scorpion.
The Temple of Nod has to be one of the coolest evil lairs I've ever seen, a cathedral designed to look like a scorpion, a "tail" that houses nukes, and some red and black stained glass. No lair better represents the religious fanaticism of its leader better than the Temple of Nod.
When Kane comes out of stasis and is stumbling around my first thought was “look at that goofy ah fella” right as Jethild contains a laugh. I was going “was he thinking the same thing?” 😂 love your videos man, I watch em the moment I see them.
Love your series because I played most of these. I never realized how much lore I had absorbed and taken for granted, especially because of how much lore exists in every game I have played since. Top notch, sir.
It surprises me how there are still CnC videos being created till this day. Keep it up Jethild, never thought people would still find CnC lore interesting
Wow 30 minute video on Temple of Nod alone! How in the world you managed to write a script for a single building in an RTS that goes that long is a serious talent! Awesome!
I just stumbled upon your channel and I am in shock to see so many people watching your CNC lore. I am so happy to see such a fanbase decades after these games were in their prime. Tiberian Sun was my second of all time favourite RTS after AOE2 and next was Tiberium Wars. This universe is so interesting.
thank you for making these vids, i am not a fan of the C&C series but i randomly found your steel talon video after one of the worst moments of my life. it kept my attention when nothing else would. thank you.
I love these videos, and thank you for not including the 4th always online game in your videos as most people I know don't consider that particular game to be Cannon anyway.
Man.. if only EA did not kill Westwood and let them do their thing and we still would have had a great franchise.. with a good story.. why is the C&C franchise as good as dead man...
I imagine that the camera by Kane's bed was for communication with distant commanders or operatives in case of emergencies. The lack of a screen for viewing the counterpart though is odd.
It honestly would've been so much more fitting if Kane's Tower had been named Bable after the one in the bible, considering all the biblical references already stuffed into the Nod faction.
Babel would be babylonia, mentioned in the bible but much bigger than what mainstream media portrays it as. Babylonia was a fairly big empire during its peak (:
For the Cairo mission, I was able to destroy the launch site in about 6 minutes. I trained a commando and a half dozen squads of zone troopers, used their jet packs to flank from a cliff on the far right edge of the map, and just bypassed the defenses to the launch site
Honestly kanes bedroom on the hardest mode it should be you enter that room and it turns into a fully working obelisk with health bar. A camera set up near the bed switchs on amd kanes voices goads you as you dash and benny hill flop around the room as a room full of nod soldiers and kane throw popcorn and place bets to see if obilesk gunner Benny can hit havoc in the nads.
*WARNING: TEMPLE OF NOD DETECTED!* 5:50 Yeah the other painting is a screenshot of the Harrier flyby during General Carville's funeral in the briefing for Operation Chrono Storm(The Allies' *SURPRISE!* invasion of Moscow), only the US Flag(in half-mast) was replaced with a Nod banner... 6:12 "Is that camera still running!?"

i never noticed the bull skull but it plays so well into the story of kane being from the bible as he and able had a bull to work the fields. the attention to detail lmao
@@louievelayo4100 yes Mammoth Tank. But lets assume its a Mammoth Tank even we know that footage was taken in different timeline where Mammoth Tank was succeeded by Apocalypse Tank
Hunters seekers were supposed to be improved with a discarded "Threat Rating Node", at east for GDI. Also note the lowering in lore and cause/effectevents from tiberium wars and onwards....
Honestly. Even as a GDI fanboy, I feel this is out of character. Ive never got the impression he got hung up on anyone. Considering McNeil straight up ganks him and Kane never even mentions it as anything other than a setback. I would chalk it up to his fanatic followers.
People say tiberian sun was bad but i thought it was the perfect middle game where the game atmosphere always had a gloomy, foreboding vibe suggesting a very alien future.
I may be asking alot, and may have even missed it if it's already out, but I'd love if they'd make a mod for tib sun where you can generate your own map, build a scenario, then invite players to compete together or against you.
1 It would be interesting to play the first part of redux with the third company of "red ants" 2 It would be interesting to play the second part of the redux with the "forgotten mutants" 3 it would be interesting to play the third part of the redux with a full company of "Screens " guests
It plays into their stealthy tricky guerilla theme. As opposed to the GDI Eagle flying high and striking hard. Tib Dawn had victory cutscenes where the totem animals would kill each other. (At least GDI had a scene. IDR the nod version from memory)
I prefer the look of Temple of Nod in Tiberian Sun. And according to some sources, it was a meteor shower, not a single meteor, brought Tiberium to Earth.
5:32 Taking a better look at it again, the figure who is standing (presumably Kane) looks rather alien to me, humanoid, but with several traces that seem to depict strange features. 6:34 It wouldn't surprise me if Seth's body had been kept in stasis not only as a trophy, but so that he could be used in Kane's cybernetic creations, probably CABAL or LEGION, if not either of those, then a more conventional cyborg, perhaps. 9:02 While I'm inclined to believe that Kane is indeed some ancient person, Havoc's perspective here has a lot of merit, for one Nod loves to use propaganda, they love perpetuating their own mythology, it serves to enhance their legitimacy in the eyes of potential new followers, just a while ago we saw a whole studio with a green screen where they made up whatever the hell they wanted, who's to say that this place, which clearly was not kept sealed since it was full of cyborgs, was not the same as that studio? Perhaps the truth lies somewhere in the middle of all these myths and revelations.
Cool note: In the room with the sarcophagus there are Hebrew writings on the wall which look like biblical Hebrew. it looks to be an extract from the Bible. I'm not an expert on the topic. I just know Hebrew. There are writings on the sarcophagus itself saying Abel.
“In front of this bed was a camera, which functioned as a recorder and transmitter through which Kane could create hardcore Tiberium-infused pornography for his Inner Circle.”
Maybe Kane actually wanted to recapture the first Temple at Sarajevo in Tiberian Sun because he didn't want GDI to get hold of his bedroom camera like the one in Cairo...

The temple looks like it is at a weird angle compared to the other buildings.
I always wondered what the one scientist was doing with a random Tiberium plant. It makes me think that NOD does not conform to OCSEA regulations.
Ironically, Nod hates redtape.
Who would've thought that they give Seth somewhere to preserve his body. Guess it be gone the next.
5:32 Taking a better look at it again, the figure who is standing (presumably Kane) looks rather alien to me, humanoid, but with several traces that seem to depict strange features.
6:34 It wouldn't surprise me if Seth's body had been kept in stasis not only as a trophy, but so that he could be used in Kane's cybernetic creations, probably CABAL or LEGION, if not either of those, then a more conventional cyborg, perhaps.
9:02 While I'm inclined to believe that Kane is indeed some ancient person, Havoc's perspective here has a lot of merit, for one Nod loves to use propaganda, they love perpetuating their own mythology, it serves to enhance their legitimacy in the eyes of potential new followers, just a while ago we saw a whole studio with a green screen where they made up whatever the hell they wanted, who's to say that this place, which clearly was not kept sealed since it was full of cyborgs, was not the same as that studio?
