If you think about it, this game is actually a kind of existentialist horror. The moment time travel gets invented, the war becomes non-linear in time, meaning it can never truly end because any defeat can be undone, and an attack can be staged at any point in time before or after hostilities have "ended" in any given timeline.

[@pizzaeater8905]

[@TheNapster153]

As far as the 'people' are concerned, I'm fairly sure they wouldn't feel the change. Some are literally unborn while others are entirely altered by history. What is certain however, is that time will be utterly destroyed once the first jump is made. There will be more time as the future loses its meaning by becoming tangible. So yeah, you're point is made and I'll add that time travel no matter how small will screw us all.

[@nerezza5505]

Theres actually a really crazy and cool game called Achron which integrates time travel into a RTS. You can basically go back in time in the game to move units somewhere if you find yourself getting flanked in the present for example. The game updates temporal changes every few minutes, so you have time to counter any past moves made by your opponent. Its a really fun game thats hampered by poor development of every feature outside of the time travel mechanic, and the difficulty of understanding how it works.

(Unless Kane coming from nowhere to preach for a Tiberium revolution while recycling Yuri's tech...

[@NationalSniper]

The Allied ending is considered canon in BOTH RA2 + RA3 (well until the second time travel that changes everything) as well as the Tiberium series. After the Allied victory they set up GDI. Setting up a Global Defense Agency was already mentioned in one of the Allies cut scenes, which was the forerunner of GDI. With a Soviet victory GDI would never have been established. If you think of Nod becoming rich and powerful because of Tiberium and it would have never landed on Earth, Nod would never have risen and this allows the route to RA2. But one could also think of there being no connection between RA and Tiberium series at all. IIRC there is no mention at all in TD, TS, TW or TT of the Allied-Soviet war. So although RA was originally planned to be a prequel to TD, RA2 and RA3 being released changed this. The Tiberium games could simply have the same history as real life in regards to WW2.
