she stole Sylvanas's bikini :P

Frost Witch Regalia, interesting choice

improvised weapons, whether they be Tiberium based or older technology etc

looks more like a mini-nuke
but I'm used to a tactical nuke nailing a good chunk of a base and strategic nukes wiping out cities

that was one tiny nuke XD

was a smart business decision at the time given what an abject and expensive failure Earth and Beyond was I can't exactly blame EA for pulling the plug on another unfathomably expensive MMORPG
Westwood was good at making RTS games but any time they tried to expand outside their are those games ended up bombing or having a niche audience

I quite enjoy exploring all the little minutiae of C&C lore, and like to share the stuff I found, not trying to be argumentative
not critiquing your story, just responding to the one person who said 2019 and showing why we and others came to that conclusion

the part I remember most about the Tib Sun manual was all the errors in the unit descriptions, as well as the swapped images for them
Cyborg and Rocket Trooper, Missile Silo and Tiberium Waste Facility
that game was such an unfinished thing, EA forcing it out the door way before it was ready

I love how he does research and his presentations, all his C&C lore vids are worth watching, they are amazing

the comments on the video actually talk about that stuff, sort by newest and he actually touches on the source for that 90s date

The wiki and I have a friendly disagreement. The wiki cites Rade, Producer for FS and something similar for TS, as having said that TS takes place 30 years after TD ended. I put very little stock in developer intent and prioritise what’s in the games themselves. We just interpret the lore through different standards. I have a very recent video on this channel called The Epistemology of Fiction that goes into all this if you’re interested

another good comment
I think this was a clear sign of divergent intention in canon.

Tiberian Sun happen in 2030. The Tiberian Sun manual states that Kane had disappeared for decades and the Philadelphia had also been there for decades. That would imply a more than 20 years gap between the First and Second Tiberium War.

An article by Rade Stojsavljevic in 2000 said that Tiberian Sun was set 30 years after the end of the first game.

Then C&C Renegade put its event at 12 March 2020 with remark that Nod entered into the 21st century.

The ending of C&C 1 put the length of the conflict at more than 3 years

The GDI ion cannon was already there in Renegade meaning it was nearing the end of the First Tiberium War.

So that would put the First Tiberium at possibly 2017-2020.

I think that's the best precise number that could be said for the First Tiberium War.

The statement of exposing GDI in 2019 was very vague, as well as the 28 years of fighting Nod, which could mean that Granger only entered service in war against Nod in 2019, not that the war started in 2019. Same with the remark of Kane travelling between 1995 to 2019.

C&C Bible was said by someone in Westwood to be non-canon even when it was written. It was mostly not canon to Tiberian Sun much less any game after it.

I"d also recommend his Epistemology of Fiction video

Youtube.com
10 min vid, where he shows his sources

2019 was the first tib war

sounds like a recipe for disaster

105mm Abrams v the 120mm modern version, the newest version of the Abrams do weight quite a bit more, but in a world with Super Heavies being the new heavy would make sense that each of the old classes got bumped down a classification
although IRL the Abrams is an MBT combining the breakthrough potential of a heavy with the speed and maneuverability of a medium

I always feel bad for the doggos, that death sound :(
wonder if it is worthwhile to add the Husky skin for Soviet attack dogs while the Allies retain the Shepherd

nexusmods is such trash

hey look its Talanji :P

thats a pretty good pull of the entire palace model from WoW imo

it still bothers me that they hold their shield on the wrong side of their body, you always hold the shield in your left hand to protect your heart at it is slightly to the left of center in your chest

edit and now its no longer mirrored so its fixed

I'd hope you don't have tiberium growing in backyard though :P

I love April first sometimes XD

can't beat chemical weapons

Kanyon, I though it was Kauyon XD

Warhammer 40k dreadnought voice works quite well for that

same game engine, BFME and BFME2 are just a later version of SAGE, so not a surprise that they end up being similiar

quick question, I have some significant bug reports to drop, where would be the best place for that?
the mod forum or elsewhere?

yeah i figured it out after i asked

how would one go about playing this once you have reforged?

Death Korps+Imperial Fists=The Imperial Shovel Knights XD
