Really fun series of lore. Tiberian sun was the first C&C game I played. It's really the backbone of the franchise.

[@RC-qv9in]

Agreed.

[@mindtraveller4143]

I think Tib Sun had the best worldbuilding in the series, particularly with Nod's motivation. The Tiberium series, at it's core, is about humanity's reaction to having their planet essentially xenoformed by an alien substance. GDI and Nod represent two conflicting responses (reclamation vs adaptation). PS; I'm starting to understand why the Scrin are hated by a certain faction of the fandom. C&C 3 made them the focal point of the whole franchise, rather than Tiberium. This is especially evident in the Brotherhood shifting it's motivation from adapting humanity to Tiberium to the nebulous goal of "ascension" that just so happens to revolve around the shiny new faction.

[@smithsanity2727]

Shoooot… idk about that one chief. Tiberium Sun is a great game and was iconic due to it being the first game of what ended up being many, where the military technology used is futuristic. As a result it really took the series to the next level as futuristic tech captured the imagination and attention of a lot of new players and the veteran players a like. However, I’d argue that C&C Red Alert is still the backbone of the franchise. That’s the game that most C&C players fell in love with first. For it’s time, with the only exceptions being Age of Empires and StarCraft, it was way ahead of every other game like it. Even with just modern military technology being used it was a freakin blast to play and honestly still is even today.

[@BBBHuey]

I mostly like the idea that Kane's Brotherhood rose to power through Stalin's victory in Red Alert. While it is possible that Kane could still rise after the Allies victory over the Soviets, I find his involvement in the Soviet campaign to be the moment the Brotherhood of Nod truly came out of the shadows. And that Kane took whatever Soviet secrets he could and salvaged what remained of the Allies tech for his own secret army.

[@meathead6155]

@Dick Trickle Not exactly the idea are dropped, that's what the fans think. In the actual story of Red Alert aka prequel to Tiberian Dawn, the Allies won the war not just lead the Red Alert 2 but lead to Tiberian Dawn. The idea wasn't scrapped, my thought from the cancelled C&C 3 Incursion by Westwood where Yuri was the one who screw up the timeline. Separate universe timeline sucks for me, can't change the future man. "While it is possible that Kane could still rise after the Allies victory over the Soviets." That's true, if the Allies won the war. Then Kane is going to wage revenge not until the time has come.

[@conrad4852]

That's my preferred story too--RA & the Allies win & we get RA 2 whereas RA & the Soviets win & we get Tiberian Dawn.

In Serbian culture it is not difficult to know that the actual spelling ought to have been Slavić, meaning that in fact the final part would actually be pronounced with the ending -itch rather than -ik, literally "son of [the] great [people]."

[@eloquenthillbilly]

I always thought that Westwood named him after the ethic/linguistic group, which I thought was an odd decision. Around that time Americans were still fascinated with the recently collapsed Soviet Union, and NATO involvement in the Balkans brought up those regions in every day conversations. Westwood using/mispronouncing a foreign sounding name makes more sense. I wouldn't be surprised if some entertainment industry folks in 1999 California got it right, the actor/director mispronounced Slavić, and they just ran with it for budget/time reasons. It's reasonable to have very low expectations for the entertainment industry, especially a B list studio working on a video game in 1999.

Once again, I find myself having to correct so called fans of this game who refuse to do any research on the lore. Both Tiberium and the continuation of Red Alert both come from the Allies winning WWII. The Soviet ending is non cannon to both sides. Allies winning allows the events of Red Alert 2 to unfold. Tiberium Dawn hints completely to the Allies victory, there is no Soviet Union, Russia is a founding member of GDI hence why GDI has the Mammoth Tank. Several smaller members of the former Soviet Union are pro-Nod. And I don't give a fuck what you saw in the ending the Soviet Campaign. Westwood and EA both agreed the Allies are the canon ending.

@@trueredpanda1538 No, once again, so called fans failing to do research. Both universes are coming from Red Alert Allies victory. The reason for Red Alert 2 opening was because Westwood intended the entire series to roll within one story but EA changed that idea when they bought the series and thus locked in two different universe but from one canon ending. Even Red Alert 2's lore is explained by this. The Allies defeated USSR, USSR current Premier was a US elected leader. USSR completely lacks a modern air force due to a treaty put in place by the Allies. Europe is not Soviet secured even remotely.

Anyone, who would bring harm to Cain would also suffer harm from God himself.

Jethild awesome job you belong to the brotherhood

[@DelectableDays]

Cybran are basically Nod, there’s so many similarities: red, cyborgs, stealth technology, spikey insectoid designs, ect.

[@Dostoron]

i say the (entirely theoretical hypothetical) scenario of utilizing this treshold tower to facilitate the ascension as planned, probably by drawing on the immense energy stored in tiberium, could in a certain point of view confirm the messiah brand, because if i remember the translation correctly it is savior/deliverer and on a planet being actively devoured... i'm just saying it would theoretically be worth exploring but one should NEVER RUSH those things.

[@clarkisaac6372]

There is a logical mistake here that a whole storyline and the studio oversight it for sure, which is Kane was not killed by ion shot at his own temple in Savjevo back in the first Tiberium War, later GDI once again fired the same weapon at the same location for killing the same person during the third Tiberium war event. How could the top GDI officials have not learned anything on record of terminating Kane?

[@TH-Insider-HT]

The time between the first and third Tiberium Wars was 40-50 years. So most senior commanders in GDI would either be dead or retired. The other thing to consider is that most of the GDI top brass was killed when the GDSS Philadelphia was nuked, leaving Redmond Boyle, the Secretary of the Treasury, as the leader of GDI. So an incompetent leader and half a century between these two events along with Kane seemingly to be to reappear out of nowhere makes the Ion Cannon attack in TW3 have some plausibility.

[@thanevakarian9762]

One day I’ll form a massive cult like the brotherhood of nod except we’ll just listen to the C&C soundtracks and play the old games.

[@DarkOperationman]

Came back to watch this again and notice what was off in this video the whole time. You didn't use "No Mercy" as for Nod's theme!!

[@NarutoGeek411]

I've been binging these videos for the last few days and I love how Tiberium Twilight is completely ignored. As it should be.

[@Beginner_Seven]

So how old Kane is?

[@hoangnguyenbui4614]

around 4000 or 6000 years old i guess. I'm pretty sure the bible about him was just bluffing thanks to EA

[@johnathangolden6288]

I really want to get back into this game series is there any on steam?

[@Jethild]

You can buy the C&C Remastered Collection on Steam which encompasses Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert plus their expansions. As well Red Alert 3, C&C 3 Tiberium Wars and their expansions. And C&C4. The only ones you cannot get on Steam are Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2. But you can find them over at cnc.community/ as they are considered free ware.

[@JC-js3er]

C&c4???? The best game of all time?????? Yeah im gonna buy it......... When hell freeze out!!!!!!!

Ahh nod the noble and selfless rebels who fight for the future of humankind. So poetic.

[@allenaju1856]

I turned my fallout 4 into a command and conquer universe I tried to make minutemen and railroad as close to the GDI as I can and the brotherhood of steel the brotherhood of Nod best attempt I could i honestly wish the Tiberium war got more love yes I like Red Alert but it’s because of the VA and actors that made that game amazing. It’s heart breaking the tiberium war saga is done and the command and conquer series has turned into a mobile game practically a spawn of Nurgel

[@jordiruizylamafiarusayserb8432]

The brotherhood of nod or the black hand are from Serbia. Grettings and like, 😁👍.

they really did my boy Slavic dirty if he had been in the third war he would have wiped the floor with GDI

[@andreykuzmin4355]

[@Thylacinus]

Yet another "nod" to the bible is that Cain was exiled to the "Land of Nod" after killing his brother Abel, hinting to the connection of Kane and Cain as well.

[@sonye-jin6737]

What an amazing thumbnail

[@rohenthar8449]

Excellent, but you forgot about one thing, originally Soviets won Red Alert 1 which is shown in Mammoth tanks (and other soviet units) used by GDI and allied equipment used by NOD, yet for some reason it was changed/retconed later.

[@antediluvianatheist5262]

It wasn't. Soviet Union was part of GSI.

It's called "Mechanical Mind" by Mikael Sandgren. It's from the Kane's Wrath expansion.

[@qiranwang]

Why did Kane want Scrin on earth again? Why did he make sure that Threshold 19 was complete?

[@Jethild]

Basically he thought the Scrin could give him answers as to his origin. He hoped to gain some of those answers by capturing the Threshold Tower and pulling as much data from it as I could.

[@qiranwang]

@@Jethild So Kane didn't know how and when he was born? Did he succeed?

[@Brakiros]

@@qiranwang It's hard to tell since the story in C&C 4 was a little half baked. But essentially Kane wanted to use the Threshold tower to gain access to the Scrin portal and ask them directly or something.

[@hujiaming6151]

PEACE THROUGH POWER!

[@danielkennedy5602]

I love how jethild doesn't feed the accepted fan theory that Kane is immortal. Instead I personally wish they'd reboot the series to bring other games into the same timeline, and make the story where Kane in old age discovered genetic manipulation and could stall his aging, not stop it, through regular infusions. He would then be able to seem immortal and with his own charismatic and tyrannical personality he would be convinced in and of himself as "the messiah". Then go with Westwood's original story for cnc 3 where Kane cloned himself to make yuri and they assaulted area 51, stole Einstein's original chronosphere and yuri would set up his own empire behind the iron curtain in preparation for Kane's rule and Nod's victory in the future.

[@WallNutBreaker524]

Connecting Kane to his biblical counterpart is pretty cool though.

[@mathew4485]

Wasn't tiberium named after it first crashed near the Tiber river in Italy?

[@Jethild]

It depends on who you believe really. GDI claims it was named Tiberium due to crashing near the Tiber river. Whereas Kane claims he named after Tiberius Julius Caesar.

[@mathew4485]
