It is an interesting thought. With the tacitus cabal might have been capable of significant technological gains, the cyborg army and tech in c&c 2 seems superior to c&c 3 in many ways.

Great work on the video! I remember back when I did the Marked of Kane faction video I had wondered why CABAL didn't make use of the MoK cyborgs during the Firestorm crisis, since the intelligence database from KW seems to suggest that they were completed by then. CABAL was pretty much integrated into all of Nod's computer systems at that point, and of course, was connected to Kane himself. So I'm curious to hear what your thoughts are on that specific topic. The only thing that came to my mind was that the MoK cyborgs were disconnected from the rest of Nod's computer systems, and so CABAL didn't know of their existence. But he was connected with Kane, so I'm kinda surprised CABAL didn't just read his mind on that subject. Though I guess he could of just not had the time to activate the MoK before being taken down by GDI and Nod.

[@NoStringsPrd]

Oh dang, thank you so much for watching! That's a good question. Since the actual answer (the Marked of Kane weren't a thing back when Westwood were developing :P) is a pretty boring one, I like your notion that they were disconnected and CABAL needed time he didn't have to activate them. So the quote you referenced is "...as the Second Tiberium War drew to a close, the Marked of Kane finally neared completion. However, it was too late to save Nod...", so I'd interpret that as they were nearly complete but not yet ready by the end of TW2, and since FS began very soon after (perhaps only weeks after the end of TW2) the Marked were presumably in a similar state of incompleteness, and now no longer under active production given Nod's recent loss. There's also the matter of logistics, the Marked were developed under "...the Tiberium wastelands of Central Asia and the Russian Steppes", so perhaps CABAL needed to focus on other Cyborg resources since IIRC FS was more centred on the Americas, Africa and Europe, and CABAL's primary core in Africa. They may not have been deemed worth completing yet Cheers mate!

[@Jethild]

@@NoStringsPrd Cool, thanks for taking the time to answer! I figured the MoK were something the C&C3 devs just came up with to reintroduce cyborgs back into the Brotherhood arsenal for KW. So they had to figure out how to fit them into the lore as best they could. But hey, I didn't even know there was anything C&C related in Lands of Lore 3, let alone it having to do with CABAL. So perhaps I had missed something related to the MoK. Anyway, like I said, great job on the video!

[@factfiend1000]

The MoK was a black project directed by Kane himself. Its files were not in the pyramid's databanks, otherwise GDI would have discovered them. The secret bunkers were likely disconnected from the main network as you said. Though I have wondered who were the followers he sent out there. Slavik, his named successor didn't even know about this program. The scientists from Project Regenesis?

Contacted for comment, retired war hero and former head of the Bureau of Mutant Affairs, General Paul Cortez, lauded for his role in CABAL's defeat, dismissed his fallen foe as "...a second rate EVA with a goatee and Napoleon complex." Cortez also claimed to have refused a GDI invitation to attend the detonation ceremony, citing his opposition to the current leadership's controversial Tiberium containment policy and "weak kneed" approach to the Brotherhood of Nod. Rumours that this particular bunker displayed evidence of human or humanoid life forms in suspension capsules were quickly dismissed by GDI spokesperson Arlene Shepherd... --- The encoded text is only a partial excerpt from the entry, and I don't know if it has been significantly modified because it was a pain to type out (I do assume it wasn't though).

Besides "Tiberium is good for ya!" and "Kane is our paramount Leader!", there is really nothing more about this specific matter. Sure, maybe there is some additonal Info in the Database (C&C3) that I missed out. P.S. Looking forward to play 'The Forgotten' mod for CnC3. They not only added a 4th faction to Multiplayer. No, they added a complete new Singeplayer campaign and an OST, too. I urge any CnC fan who is looking for new Content to give it a shot.

Wow! Just Wow!! loved the vid man, awesome work. Also, I had no idea there was a fantasy game that connects to the tiberium universe. you really left me in shock! Fantastic vid buddy! Keep on it!

[@DrTrax1887]

I Never new about the last few minutes from the other games, amazing to see. I think we all need a „Siri“ voice of CABAL

"In the name of Kane, of course." :^)

[@dAgent47b]

Love your videos, this one was one of the best. The 2nd Tib War has always been my favorite part of the saga and Cabal my favorite character after Kane. Keep up the good work. This series really does enhance the experience of the franchise as a whole, for me at least

[@NoStringsPrd]

Thank you so much, this really means a lot, cheers!

[@MK_khaos-kenshi--khaos-takeda]

To this day CABAL is still my favourite command and conquer character

[@BadGhosts]

Fantastic video, as always. Your editing in particular is excellent.

[@GRAVEMIND08]

Great video as always! Hope everyone's keeping safe. 💜

[@rainbowsnail4171]

I truly wish we had gotten to see the original Westwood plans for C&C 3, and the Cabal faction it would have had.

[@Atarnal]

I am actually glad I found this channel only now, I just reinstalled Kanes wrath after years, and man this brings back memories , Westwood was a paragon of games design. 🤗 I miss these games so much

[@aegisofperdition]

Sir, you are a genius. Keeping my childhood alive!

[@Korasi]

Dude, this is an amazing video. Keep up the amazing work :) I listen to your videos to fall asleep haha, and it helps a lot!

[@alialatrach9788]

I am not sure if you are interested in RA3 but I managed to find a way to edit the singleplayer missions and with playing actual singleplayer custom ones. If you want me to show you the steps, or to write them, or anyone else in the comment section, let me know!

[@SomethingEls]

This is amazing dude. Congrats on another fabulous lore vid, I loved watching it

[@baseddugalle1838]

Another splendid work.

[@Crimson542]

Dude, this blew my mind. Instant sub

[@NoStringsPrd]

Oh dang, welcome, really glad you enjoyed it!

[@ShadowPriestBear]

Command and conquer lore is perfect

[@squirrel9407]

Ah, you're going to make me replay them all now lol! Great vid!

[@PLPEberronguy]

I never knew about that last game. I now need to dig into it as deeply as possible.

[@NoStringsPrd]

The game is Lands of Lore 3, it released shortly before Tiberian Sun so it's actually CABAL's first ever appearance. The game is available on GoG and Origin (it's kind of dated and has very slow loading but plays well enough), I'm looking into uploading my saves somewhere if people want to skip to the Nod Temple. CABAL in LoL3 is played by Milton James, the same voice as in TS and FS

[@Mr.Fortunato]

@@NoStringsPrd Shame Milton James died. Always hoped he would come back to reprise the role of CABAL

[@whitehavencpu6813]

@@Mr.Fortunato I mean, if we could dig up his body....

[@somerandomdude7785]

Joe Kucan should voice both Kane & CABAL.

[@kerrican]

I absolutely loved it! I need to rewatch it when I get home to get that last reference 😁

[@juliovictormanuelschaeffer8370]

Now I can only imagine how epic a C&C/Lands of Lore crossover would be. And I mean ALL OF THE TIMELINES with the Lore one.

[@sirnukealot84]

man what a fantastic video! :D really made me smile and dream about the story in the cnc games :)

[@Villanuevac4]

Hey, thanks Stefan! This video was pretty good!

[@doktorstreicher6993]

Another Great Vid Man, i appreciate your efforts !

[@NoStringsPrd]

Cheers, glad you enjoyed it!

[@lonelyteapot858]

I've said it before, I'll say it again. We as the commander are the most loyal to Kane. Not to Nod, but Kane. And the only one who doesnt die. In many ways, We are Kane's closest friend.

[@videocrowsnest5251]

You know - Now that I think about it: Perhaps the most mentioned Slave in "Slave to the System" is actually talking (besides cyborgs) about a certain bald megalomaniac? If so: What other nods and references are there hidden in the many musics of Command and Conquer? Oh...and did I just make a little pun?

[@user-ue6ur5nt5z]

I saw command and conquer again because it's part of the autumn discount and DAMN did I get a huge wave of nostalgia, but I also learned new stuff. I DID NOT know it had lore. The only command and conquer I know was one version of red alert, and the command and conquer that uses human troops where, if I remember correctly the tutorial took place in a desert like place where I had to fight like terrorists? These tiberium, earth destroyed and cyborgs are very new to me even though they seem like the first rel3ases.

[@kiningroseburg9288]

Awesome video!! Well done!

[@cadcTV]

As always, thanks so much for such great videos, never stop!

[@krakalot]

Thank you for releasing yet another well made video! I'll make sure to play some Tiberian Sun again after this.
