Scrin Armor - Command and Conquer - Tiberium Lore

[@OodldoodlNoodlesocks]

One of the hardest things to do when making alien/futuristic armies is in making it look both alien and relatable to human contemporaries. One thing this game does really well is making it quick and easy to determine what is light armour, what is the MBT, what is the heavy armour while still maintaining a very alien design.

[@IonorRea]

Frankly, Scrins look like reskinned GDI/Nod using Protoss portal system for unit construction, walkers from War of the Worlds as their Avatar walker, while Storm Rider and Mothership just plain copying Independence Day movie but at least Scrin's base defense and heroic unit is just copying previous C&C instead of somebody else, so that's something to congratulate the team behind the design with. Let's be honest, C&C3 is not going to win any award for unit design innovation, you get more difference in gaming style between GLA and China in Generals where both factions are from the same planet... I am currently working on a mod that just removes Scrins completely, so GDI can have its energy shields again, while both Nod and GDI get back their plasma weapons among other things that differentiated them as long as it could be balanced and mostly already present in Tiberian Sun but taken away just to make the most generic alien faction ever put in the game with three factions where harvester of one faction have machinegun, other is stealthy while aliens have completely useless hovering harvester that is somehow not able to cross the water. Harvesters not even making sense for Scrins when their whole MCV can hover, so why the hell do they even need a harvester when they can have a hovering refinery instead? The only reasons I see why C&C 3 faction design ended up being so poor would be an attempt to succeed in eSports by making factions as similar as you can get away with in order to be easier to balance or/and insufficient time given to the development team as EA chasing most profit from least development time due to which on one hand they still exist and producing good stuff once in a while but also murdering previously good franchises like there is no tomorrow, though Westwood produced questionable quality stuff twice (C&C Renegade Battlefield like FPS, Earth and Beyond MMO) before EA likely lost patience with this studio and taken it apart, so you can argue who's fault was that...

Man, do I wish the Scrin could be explored more in the future... Properly, I mean. They were my favourite aspect of C&C 3 by far! Even more so when I learned we were playing as a "mining corporation" of sorts, not necessarily their actual military branch! There are some mods out there like Tiberium Essence which lowkey "reinvent" the Scrin and add a ton of different, more "solid" looking units and vehicles. I like to imagine those being the true military branch of the Scrin, more advanced and combat oriented, while the Scrin from vanilla Tiberium Wars is the mining corporation version, with possibly better Tiberium collection but its military units are essentially "outdated" paramilitary forces (they get the job done, but are not the best). But BOY, do I wish the franchise could've explored that more deeply! Maybe even extend the story into other worlds and possibly add a second alien faction, that opposed the Scrin and also Earth (if GDI and Nod took to spacefaring as well). Of course, that would recquire a developer who cared. *And the most care I can see EA taking is **_MAYBE_** remastering Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2.* (again, _MAYBE_ )

[@shoulderpyro]

Oh gods imagine if GDI and Nod both went into space faring as well, and you'd have to manage C&C style space battles. Mining tiberium asteroids instead for resources, and making things like fighters, bombers, larger warships, etc. while upgrading/extending a space station with additional solar/nuclear/tiberium generators and docking bays/drydocks

[@kathydina3646]

I remember that in the campaign, the harvesters had a unique ability to summon a ion storm upon its destruction. This would only happen if it had stored tiberium and the duration of the storm would be dependent on the quantity the harvester had upon its death. I only remember this occurring in the campaign on the disk version, rarely see it occur in the PC version. My guess it patched out in an update and the disk retained it.

[@Barragwin]

As far as I know it has nothing to do with campaign or Tiberium: In the early versions of the game, every scrin harvester had this feature to give them "something interesting", like Nod stealth or GDI gun. In later versions of the game, like one of the earlier patches, it got removed.

[@kathydina3646]

@@Barragwin Shame, it was quite an interesting mechanic. Although it did slow down engagements and long ion storms tended to be capable of destroying light to medium vehicles.

@@kathydina3646 Yea, thats the reason why they removed it. Ionstorms had no counterplay and where devastating. If you wanted to kill a group of them, you had no choice but to sacrifice your army. Also the Scrin commander had then to constantly replace them. It was too punishing for both sides. So they replaced it with the tiberium regeneration. Like that, Scrin commanders had less to worry about there harvesters survivability and enemy commanders could attack them without automaticly killing there own troops.

[@MrMarinus18]

12:35 I think the Eradictator Hexapod is the best one of the 3 because it is optimized for what the super units are best at which is be the center of a deathball that you slowly push into your enemy's base. I usually just load it up with 3 assimilators and use it as a defacto artillary piece while the other units around it do most of the fighting and I use the money generated by the Hexapod to constantly reinforce it.

[@igncom1]

I'd still disagree with calling the Scrin contingent a civilian one rather then a military one as the forces we fight are and were brought to quell the remaining resistance on the planet. Reaper and Traveller themselves are dedicated military organisations of some sort for extermination or subjugation respectively. A closer comparison to civilian or military might be in calling them a Private Military Company whom are escorting the commanding mining Foreman. Not precisely a state military, but also unlikely to be far removed from one either. A tripod is clearly not the Toyota Truck of the Scrin, that is a weapon of war.

[@Tazkar]

They are more of a civilian contingent in that the units are more for Security detail for the mining operation as opposed to an actual invasion force. Since by the time the Mining Foreman shows up on a world the Tiberium should have rendered it basically uninhabitable to anything else. Though Civilian is still a bit of a misnomer I'd agree, but I think he was just emphasizing how it wasn't an actual proper invasion force at all.

[@MrDibara]

"A Tripod is clearly not the Toyota truck of the Scrin" *Okay, you win the internet today,my guy/gal!* 🤣👌

[@Toast_94]

Same can be said about the planetary invasion carrier and devastator battleship, they're clearly not industrial machines but war machines. Most of their military hardware including their ships was most likely military surplus; older military hardware that was phased out of usage by the regular military, thus was sold to this security force to recoup some of the cost.

Yeah the most troubling thing about Scrin in C&C is that the forces encountered so far (I really hope the IP will eventually return) are just the equivalent of a mining expedition. They only came to earth because they thought the planet had been converted entirely by the Tiberium which would probably have meant a lot less resistance, but now that they know humanity might be able to reverse the spread of tiberium, they might just send an actual army to remove the threat before it becomes too much to deal with... It is very questionable whether Kanes actions have saved humanity as he always envisioned or if he has doomed earth and all of humanity to a cruel end at the hands of aliens...

@@jawadsabih4979 I’m assuming you are referring to the ending on NODs mission chain in Kanye’s Wrath. The ending is very vague so I left it out of my main speculation but what it seems to imply is that LEGION (the improved version of CABAL) have been uploaded to the Scrin information/consciousness network, other then that is pretty much speculation. Maybe Kane have done this to try to saboteur the Scrin from inside, maybe it is to try to retain some Scrin connection to earth to motivate them to attack again, or maybe there is some completely different idea behind it. The sad part is that it was pretty clearly baiting a continuation which was intended to come in command and conquer 4… if you have never played that game, don’t bother trying to dig out copies of it… I bought it, tried it and man was it a disappointment… I can’t remember if it have some story to it, might try to see if I can find it and get it working or if I can find something about that online but it is not worth acquiring for the game-play aspects at least… I believe it was even some kind of reskin of another game or something like that, just a cash grab product…

[@isthischannelstillalive9062]

Considering these vehicles are meant to be used as ‘utility units’, maybe they are meant to be used to look for and carve out for tiberium located in certain areas where it may require greater force and “weapons”. I’ll prolly comment later to eleborate on the possible application of these vehicles. Edit: check replies to see my research.

[@isthischannelstillalive9062]

Gun Walkers are possibly used to pick at tiberium crystals, located in higher areas like on ceilings of cave system or such areas where tiberium is higher elevated. Possibly much cheaper too, compared to using gravity stabilizers. This also makes them effective against infantry, since the focused plasma (beam or whatever) can land a potent strike on living things that aren’t metallic or in structures. This is a system of replies, this is part 1.

[@isthischannelstillalive9062]

Seekers are fast vehicles that could’ve been used to scout for tiberium crystals located farther from a base. The disk launcher is likely used to do the same thing as would the gun walker, chip and pick at tiberium crystals. The hover part gives it a higher mobility advantage, allowing all-terrain movement better than a gun walker. The disk in question are also better at hitting harder at more durable areas, allowing the tracking of the disk to hit air targets easier and for hitting armor more effectively. Part 2

[@isthischannelstillalive9062]

Corrupters serve the part as either clearing out biological matter in certain areas or to get through certain obstructions. The tiberium based concoction serves to ensure that obstacles could be melted away with ease, but as it’s name suggest, it’ll likely corrupt the area and cause living creature to become viseroids by mistake (maybe on purpose at times). The fluid is also capable for melting buildings as mentioned, and could very easily kill any living matter if not protected. Practically, the acid is meant to get rid of obstruction and melt things to find tiberium, but can kill anything else. Part 3 Update: The healing factor of Corruptors works at healing other Scrim ‘vehicles’ likely due to them being literally tiberium based organisms, meaning it’s literally patching up the damage with the concoction (the mix might contain some healing chemical that could make it so it heals them, but its absolutely toxic to everything that isn’t tiberium based).

[@isthischannelstillalive9062]

The Devour could function in the sense that it could properly carve through most tough materials. The beam used by the ‘tanks’ can carve through possibly giant or big rocks that contain tiberium and might require more power. The ‘charging’ feature might be used incase it needs more power, depending on the strength of the materials it’s trying to carve through. The combat capability is the obvious range it has against vehicles or buildings with defenses, the beam can shread through vehicle armore or infrastructure with little to no effort, but the issue of no air defense gives it an issue. It is still a durable vehicle, so within that time support could come in when it’s in a pickle. Part 4

[@isthischannelstillalive9062]

The Mechapede (apologies if spelled wrong) is like a jack-of-all-trades kind of ‘vehicle’, capable of being equipped with a variety of tools at its disposal depending on the situation and tools needed. Beams for carving, disk for picking, corrupter fluid for either clearing or repair, and shards (a complicated guess) are used to either clear hostile wildlife or as an actual weapon. The capability of combat for Mechapedes is likely meant for fast or blitzkriegs on the frontlines of a foe, since if the segments break or it’s freshly produced makes it versatile against in some combat situation. Of course, it’s worth noting that these weapons may have less power compared to the actual weapon. Part 5

It worked to let my other forces come in on the other side and attack there smaller groups but constantly being repaired I wish they made a C&C 4 a real one not that mobile game turned RTS

[@Delphineas]

DO Scrin have infantry? Or just robots that perform an infantry function?

[@louievelayo4100]

10:45 But how the Tripod's cannons generate an EMP is... Nope, can't explain it... Even GDI's or Nod's top scientists can't figure that out...

[@joshtan8355]

Will there be Red Alert lore series?

[@johndoesnt6498]

Can you do one explaining what actually happened at the end of cnc4? Im still not sure where Kane went and what happened to humanity after.

[@louievelayo4100]

We don't talk about C&C4 here.

[@mwperk02]

Never heard of this c&c 4 you wouldn't happen to be from one of those other timelines caused by Einstein's Time Machine?

[@TricksterPoi]

C@C4 never exist.

Riddle me this sir: is it pronounced JET-HILD or JETH-ILD? Edit: always fun videos btw keep up the great work!

Can you do KKND2 Krossfire lore?

[@ionutmaricuta958]

But jethild the scrin corrupter it part travel sect or reaper sect and eradicator hexapod why his not part of reaper sect do his brute force?

[@gulasek-nt3yy]

Is it just me or is the corruptor strangley smilliar to starcraft2 infestor?

[@deucedeuce1572]

Are these all from the original game or were any updated or changed more recently?

[@brittonbell5909]

the mechapede reminds me of the battle of umbara in clone wars

[@Дми́трийВикторович-о3с]

So, a mining expedition has like one type of proper mining equipment but several types of armoured units (including heavy and super heavy) and some AA on top of that? That and literal military sect regiment and a bunch of potentially polymorph infiltrators onboard!? That's like uranium miners carrying aim-9 to blow up tunnels and indoctrinate rogue ore chunks. Pretty sure that scrin employee was over exaggerating their "invasion force". Most likely they're like some pmc dudes - have some fancier equipment and more attitude.

[@Beleidigen-ist-Pflicht]

Important side note: þe scrin units' name's are denominations made by humans describing þe lot of þem and do not by any means reflect, how þese units are actually classified as by þeir own kind.

I feel suckered. I thought was about the type of armor they use. Crystalline / Organic or some type of unknown alloy. You know, actual armor. I was ready for the density and resistance lecture. We know sonic weapons are effective, but what about fire? lol

[@mwperk02]

Fire as the brotherhood took note of was not particularly effective against the large scrin vehicle or creatures. It was however able to incinerate smaller scrin very importantly buzzer swarms could be quickly engulfed where other traditionally armed troops could be overwhelmed quickly by the sheer number of them.

Idk if it is he bug but whe can control viseroide in scaveging mod

Not really used for war, but used for mining stuff.

Question, I just went back to play KW again tonight and I was abit surprised that Scrin Building can seldomly randomly repel missiles. Did anyone see this?

[@Toast_94]

It's actually a little known ability of the Storm Column, but only in KW.

[@Toast_94]

@Sneed Feed And Seed You can enhance an obelisk by targeting them with your beam cannons; granting the obelisk significantly increased range and fire rate. It's similar to Red Alert 2's tesla coils with tesla troopers (though that increased damage instead of range) but i'm not sure if you can keep an obelisk functioning without power like you could with tesla coils (the wiki fails to mention it).

[@Toast_94]

@Sneed Feed And Seed yep

[@Gingee_9]

In my 9 years of Kanes Wrath I’ve only used mechapedes once

[@mwperk02]

I don't think I've seen the ai use them really and I mostly just play GDI to learn the ins and outs of their weapons to discover weaknesses for the brotherhood to exploit.

Ngl the scrin Harvester is kinda cute

[@JoaoSoares-rs6ec]

the tiberium FPS was to deal whit the return of the scrin, it irritates me that they canceled it and instead we got the never to mention horrible game, to bad tiberium FPS was loooking great.

[@MrDibara]

I heard that the story would've revolved around Earth having been conquered and enslaved by the Scrin _(clearly the Cult of Reaper were not involved)_ and our character's story arc in this new world. That setting sounds so fucking awesome! Imagine, both GDI and Nod, forced to serve the "Scrin Confederacy" _(someone once came up with the name and I loved it)_ and anything they develop and employ are observed by the Scrin and geared towards serving them, unless both factions wish to lose any protection guarantees for humanity. So both sides are under constant survaillance and even having their forces teleported to other worlds, either to simply help harvest Tiberium faster or to deal with the local lifeforms as expendable frontline forces. _Thus, naturally, they each secretly plot some way to be free of the Scrin's control through one way or another._ And your playable character, unbeknownst to himself, would eventually play a key part in helping that happen... or not. _But_ OF COURSE *_EA had to literally shoot down that very cool idea_*_ and instead aim for something_ not only generic, not only a downgrade (no Scrin), but also NOT WELL MADE AT ALL! And don't get me wrong, the giant walker mobile base is very cool, but it was used SO WRONG on top of everything that was... *that unspeakable title!* DX _SIGH... Remember when EA used to at least make good games, even after closing down studios like Westwood?_ *Those were the days...* T__T

[@JoaoSoares-rs6ec]

@@MrDibara actually the story for tiberium was from what was released, first stage fight nod investigate the tower, scrin invasion starts, second stage retreat regroup, third stage fight back to the tower, fourth stage destroy/cripple the tower, the game was to be a mix of RTS FPS and was looking great, the footage is at least a decade old and still looks good today and they claimed the quality was crap, wen both the footage and campaign appeared great, good idea yours nonetheless, I just don't think it would fit the scrin doctrines.

[@joshg8053]

@@MrDibara That's closer to the plot of C&C Arena and also Half Life.
