Nod or GDI?
Kane is the truth
Video games?
Do you want to live in a yellow or red zone?
>>719266882Why would anyone side with the GDI? Its just a capitalist scheme to control the world with lies about tiberium being bad. They just dont want you to have infinite resources and energy from crystals.
>>719266967get the fuck out you newfag.
>>719267031This post has been fact-checked by true Tiberium-infused Nod brothers and found to be 100% true!
>>719266967please go shove several tiberium crystals up your ass you fag
GDI superior force SAAR
>>719266882>Kane is awesome >Like the GDI units more aesthetically like the mammoth tank/air units/mechsIdk what to pick
>>719266882Z
>>719267031>infinite resourcesEven in Tiberium Dawn it's explained that Tiberium puts out roots that draw minerals out of the soil to concentrate them into the crystals, allowing cheap and easy (if hazardous) access to a wide range of useful materials once processed. But reading between the lines, that also means it's stripping the surface layer first and any nation that relied on it would be destroying their ecology and arable land. What's the point of a wonder mineral if you have to spend so much of your new economy on turning it back into fertilizer?
GDI The mamoth Tank and orca fighter sells it for me
GDI. Ion cannons are OP

>>719267031Lmao Kane is not even human and cucked his flock.Imagine simping for ayy lmao just to be left with nothing.
>>719267838jarring how now that I hate pajeets I see how they were being pushed all over in the 90s and 00s
>>719266882NOD, because the world was on the brink of destruction and Kane manage to convince GDI to to do nothing except building a new facility to extract liquid Tiberium and for some reason the pajeets that control GDI agreed that this is the best solution.
>>719268361https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWc9m1N6_FI
>>719268068Plonk it down in a mineral rich area with valuable metals and let it take care of the extraction part. Look at what modern day gold quarries look like.

>>719268694Just because they showed up now and then doesnt mean they got pushed.CnC cutscenes basically went "who's in the office today, let's go with them"
>>719266882TD era Nod. It's just so kino, the Nod military isn't that strong yet, so they rely on high tech guerilla tactics derived from Kane's visions of the future. In the later games the tech level isn't that different between the factions. Kane's briefings also make it feel like you're let in on some hidden knowledge only the Nod high-ups know.
>>719266882HE LIVES IN DEATH!
>>719268598That game never existed.

>>719269494TD era Nod was unironically more interesting than any modern take on stateless terrorism because it was actually stateless instead of a stand-in for sandpeople, ruskies, chinks or whoever is the acceptable media target right now. Even their hardware choices (90% US-made) seem exotic now and imply they got their fingers in everything and everyone.

>>719266882I like playing the shifty fucks that are Nod, but GDI has the biggest guns.
At least your mother tipped well.
>>719266882Given the Windows graphical API is called GDI, and it was pretty terrible to develop games for in the C&C original release that ended up being an MS-DOS game.I'm pretty sure it's just a funny coincidence.

>>719269113...it's a solid 5/10 I think the campaign only upgrades are neat for replayability but some of the missions can last for longer than 30 minutes and both GDF and Dynasty last for about 11 missions each. The 3rd faction isn't even playable, which feels like a missed opportunity.

>>719266882Nod, but GDI are the actual good guys. They're incredibly competent too.
Russia
>>719276308https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j77gwvA2bQUI like the Scrin AI the most, though. She actually looks out for the foreman and becomes increasingly more passive aggressive as the jellyfish in charge keeps fucking you over.
>>719276443The Militants get the 2030 look back in Kane's Wrath...they're still pretty shit though. You're giving guns to morons and hoping they don't shoot themselves anon. The Confessors and Black Hand are your real troops.
>>719276597Fair. I like the way Tiberium Wars Advanced handled it, the basic infantry wearing TibSun armor and a support power to summon militants at a civvie structure.
>>719266882GDI, Nod only stopped being comically evil villains with a bit of nuance in 3in tibsun Kane destroys the fucking world in the NOD ending
>>719276578>Finally drop the Alien bomb the series set up all the way back in Tiberian Sun>Never use them againFuckin EA, man. If CnC4 hadn't killed the series, and not been a glorified mobile game ported to PC, we could've had something very different. The idea of a proper Scrin invasion force would've been neat. Finding out that the aliens didn't expect humanity to be so extremely aggressive and warlike but also have the tech to beat them is unusual for a Sci-Fi setting. Not that I liked the Scrin missions much, between the PACs and the fucking flying artillery that would park just outside of LoS they were pure cancer to deal with. Skirmish wasn't as bad.
>>719277083You mean transforms the world into a tiberium-based paradise
>>719277135No he literally kills everyone and makes the planet into an uninhabitale wasteland
>>719277234proofs?
>>719276443It'll be a cold day in Hell before anyone affiliated with the UN are the "good guys".>>719276578The Scrin are cool as fuck as an adversary. I don't know if they always planned on them being the real big bad but the way they introduced them was so elegant that it really felt like they did, even from C&C1 with Tiberium being brought to Earth by a meteor."Analysis indicates indigenous population is dangerously viable"God bless mankind I love this planet man
>>719277359https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r93c6qN9XyY
>>719277521nta but the Nod campaign isn't canon so it doesn't really matter what "happens".The later games make it clear that this was never Kane's endgame.
>>719277365https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tgcZs7bDWgI've found their introduction awesome no matter the campaign. GDI has you escaping a city being torn apart, Nod with a random ayy invasion in the midst of stealing some nukes and the Scrin's WTF moment to humanity still being alive and a viable threat is just great.As a kid I grabbed the strategy guide when I bought the game, so I spoiled myself to the reveal. Despite that I still love it to this day.
KANELIVES
>>719277638He asked for proof that Kane destroys the world in the Nod ending, so I gave him that>Nod campaign isn't canonwell duh, can't have another game if everyone is fucking dead>The later games make it clear that this was never Kane's endgame.Kane was just a schizo murderous cult leader until cnc3 decided to retcon some higher goals than huffing tiberium into him
>>719277521>>719277836GDI agitrop fake newsBut yeah, you're right. I like Kane being an ayy that sorta helps mankind, but that's an EA invention. Westwood had him as a megalomaniac human.https://cnc.fandom.com/wiki/Command_%26_Conquer_Wiki?file=CNCTS_STORYBIBLEDOC.pdfHere's Westwood's old plans for anyone who's interested, spoilers obviously.
>>719278367What about renegade where it's implied he's biblical Kane when you find the tomb of Abel.
>>719278441As amusing as a spin off game, I think Renegade isn't canon with the rest of the series at large.
>>719278441>>719278509I personally have no problem with Renegade despite the fucked up timeline issues. I find it funny that the game has one of the strongest bits of evidence that he actually is the big C Cain also has a crashed UFO in the previous level.
>>719277521>transforms the world into a tiberium-based paradiseNTA too but that's kind of what happened here, it's up to interpretation since the game just ends there. Nod does make a distinction between successful and failed tiberium lifeforms, the mutants that are naturally created by tiberium being failures. The ascension being real it could be that Nod did actually manage to create proper tiberium based life for humans.

>>719279687If China does anything they lose anyway because they fucking suck
>>719279780their units such individually (even overlords) but they have the best economy in the game. Russia's eco is longer to set up but gives 20$ every 2 seconds which is better in the long run
>>719279780We talking about strength of units or canon? Because canonically China was europe's savior.
>>719279012"tiberium wasteland" concept was introduced in c&c3Kane tib missile was designed to trigger instant genetic mutation (divination) of humanity like he explains in GDI last mission
>>719266882Would have been Nod, but I can't go against my nigga Dr. Moebius
>>719280028The mod he's referring to overhauls the entire game and chinese units are now garbage unless they're in a big group
>>719279891>Russia's eco is longer to set up but gives 20$ every 2 seconds which is better in the long runGuntruck spamming right? I only ever dabbled in the GLA but found the blackmarkets weren't as consistent compared to the basegame. ECA has it the worst where their 5G tower spam can be buckbroken by popping the solar generator crashing the entire economy with no survivors.
>>719280028Canonically China takes over Europe before the ECA can even get their budget finalized. US turns into a hermit kingdom and the Kazakh GLA cell implodes in real time.
you now remember tiberian twilight
>>719280171The can't defend themselves at all but you can put 6 of them in the factory (which can withstand a nuclear missile). Overall I would say russia and china are both tied for the best economy. GLA has the worst since you can now only have one market but it's dependent on how aggressive you play. ECA in general sucks because everyone will target the solar reactor
>>719280353ECA is not canon
>>719280556And?
>>719280353What's the ECA?
So, I just blew your base to shit with dozens of superheavy tanks. Why? Consult the criteria below:>it's actually Europe's fault>you did a Russophobia>you couldn't face my forces head on so you pounded them with arty like a coward or something>your triple A kept shooting down my 1700$ helicopters>Russia is a nation of peace, HOWEVER we must constantly do battle with amerimutts who are always outsmarting us because we're the master race
>>719280556I consider RotR to be an expansion. ECA never took off because the Nuke General kept glassing them anytime they caught wind of a major heat signature popping in.
Does anyone play the global conquest mode for Kane's Wrath? What's some solid strike forces to make that aren't the premades?
>>719280779A shitty turtle faction from a mod.
>>719280961>shitty
>>719279605>>719280961why is the eca so fucking garbage? a poor display
>apparently there is a tiberium mod for factorio>some crazy fucker is posting his tiberium refinery factory>>719239553>>719239852
>>719281308true eca players will know that russia has the best and most reliable lategame units so they won't try to fight russia with vehicles. A good eca player just spams defenses.
>>719266882KANE LIVES!
>>719281635>i can just spam defenses! haha this faction is well-des- ACK!
>>719281308If they had a Rise of Nations style missile shield that prevents their one major component from getting nuked it would go a long way to making them viable. They have some of the most extensive defensive systems yet none of them mean shit when you can just the flatten the lot with a handful of missiles. At least the GLA spawns a Viet Cong hole to rebuild their stuff after getting wiped. Their faction mantra should be high technology with an emphasis on core defense because everything else they have is mediocre at best.
>>719281635So the way to beat Russia is to rush and constantly put pressure on their econ so they never get to their late game units?
>>719281827Fighting eca (and to a lesser extent china) as russia lategame is torture. Nuke cannons and that giant nuclear artillery prototype eca gets hard counter russia and can obliterate entire armies in just a few hits. Your only way to deal with them is helicopters but russia's are the most expensive in the game
Didnt Kane actually turn out to be right tho?
>>719281878Basically. Once russia's eco is fully set up and they have a tank army with stealth detection/anti air all over the place, it's over for you. You have to kill them before then by exploiting how slow and expensive their vehicles are. Ironically eca is the only team that can stop russia later on. GLA would just be fucked
>>719282052Sort of. He went full Tim Curry from Red Alert 3 and said "fuck this shit imma go to SPESS".While leaving all the shit he has done behind.
>>719282370>pulling the ole Mastermind Not my problem
>>719266882Anyone who says otherwise is a cuck
>>719280779A retarded ruskie mod.They can't make a good mod for the life of theirs. Same with HoMM III, they also made this retarded slavjank retarded mod adding idiotic factions such as pirates. Yes, a pirate castle.
>>719266882OUR LIVES FOR KANE
>>719267880This is what Engineers are for, Brother.
I like the nice touch Westwood placed during one of their Red Alert 1 cutscenes. You can see Kane in the background, serving as some kind of an advisor to Stalin.Just how old is this guy? There's this theory he's Cain, unable to die due to being Marked by God for his crime.
>>719284915After Tiberian Sun/Red Alert 2 I'm pretty sure both games are in separate timelines and that's just the actor being used in a minor background role before he became the most iconic character in Command and Conquer as a whole.
>>719285024I'm 99% extra material stated that both games take place in the same world.RA1->RA2->Tiberium\C&C proper. GDI evolved from the Allies, while Nod came to be after the first Tiberium showed up and Kane utilized his connections to create a new, fanatic faction. Many of the people under Kane come from post-Soviet countries.
C&C3 Kane's Wrath still has a few guys keeping the competitive scene alive somehow. Masterleaf in particular made some sweet HD graphics overhauls and keeps patching/balancing the gameI don't know if any guide exists to actually help people patch the game, I haven't actually bothered to do it myself
>>719286521I think by CNC3 and RA3 the "connection" between the two was pretty thoroughly cut as none of it is ever mentioned in the codex entries in Tiberium Wars, and RA3 jumps the shark so hard they turned it into a main attraction at the circus.
>>719282052What actually happens in C&C3 is kind of a cliffhanger. there's the "kane is an alien theory" which """""""""C&C4"""""""" backs up allegedly (I haven't played it). """""""C&C4""""" began life as a Chinese mobile game and EA slapped the "C&C4" title on it to try and boost sales, which of course destroyed the franchiseCHALLENGE EVERYTHING sweourp
>>719286914Anon, barely anyone has played CnC4, so it's fair to say no one really knows what happened in that game. All I know is that they pulled a DoW 3 before DoW3 was even a twinkle in Relics eye.
>>719286706C&C 3 was surprisingly good. I don't really understand what did they fucking think with C&C 4, turning into a fucking TRAVESTY.It basically killed any future development. We've lost so many potential hours of SOVL KINO.Don't think about RA 3 as canon to the world, that was EA doing their shit.Westwood treated the games as taking place in the same world, Tiberium stuff takes place many decades later.
>>719287045You mean Dawn of War 2? No base building, just capture point?The MCVs were always funny, and leaning into them and bases being truly mobile is a really funny idea, but it needs more than the Chinese C-team to flesh out and refine the idea. RA2 had Yuri's mobile refineries, just saying.
Yuri was supposed to be revealed as a NOD acolyte before Westwood closed their doors.
>>719287234No I mean DoW3, DoW 2 was effectively Company of Heroes but with a 40k skin and for the most part that worked out. DoW 3 is trying to be a pseudo moba that also tried to remember it's an RTS but fails at both. You can't really rush because the super turrets will kill anything but heroes fast as fuck, and the hero units are so powerful they can make the rest of your army redundant the moment they hit the field. So most fights end up being who can get their hero/elite units out faster then pushing hard with them. It's not even a fun RTS or a moba.
>>719287420It sounds like shit how you phrased it, but I wouldn't know, I only played 1 and 2. Why wouldn't a developer just let your hero units just lead a small squad? I remember in DoW 1 you could add in a bigger guy to lead a little squad of shitters, and you could buy extra weapons for squad members.A Warhammer-flavored MOBA could absolutely work but I have my danger sense about the monkey's paw curling...
>>719287045The game was not only mechanically raped. Taking into account the ending, it feels like a conscious sabotage.They threw out all the previous lore and Kane's motivations. Apparently, all he wanted was "to ascend" and he did so by using one of Scrin, alien gateways which teleported him to ???.If that was supposed to wrap up the C&C events in a satisfying way then... Yeah, they went full retard. Joe Kucan also thought it dumb, but he played his role greatly, as always.
I can't believe they never released a sequel to C&C3/KW
>>719288936C&C 4 :^)
