  • What would it look like if world War III was over Tiberium?

    #1
    1st of all, this would involve messing with Tiberian Dawn lore, which I know is a little sacred, but just imagine a reboot of sorts, where the Tiberium lands on earth and the GDI and Nod arn't officially formed present on the world stage.

    The War is over Tiberium in its pure resource and monetary value, before they fully see the damaging effects.

    The combatants would be the current nations, and be relatively modern , maybe like Generals.... hmmm

    Anyways,
    the aftermath of the war, GDI is formed, and Nod rises from the ashes, and then we get the events of TD or so,

    What to you say to such a concept?

    Viable as an alternative universe, but that is exactly wherein the problem lies. You'd split up the tiberian universe into two different game(s/series)

      I would support it if was to be a seperate/new command and conquer universe.

        I'm all for a reboot of TD and the rest of the games later. So we'll give the series justice and some coherent story.

          This idea has my support! Fix the problems that have arisen over the years, but keep the beautiful (and toxic, and flora-and-fauna-mutanting) Tiberium! :-D

            The problem is why, exactly, will nations be fighting each other? Tiberian is an unlimited resource, so there's no need to fight over it. The only reason Nod and GDI fight is because Nod is portrayed as a terrorist group, but fighting just for the sake of it sounds like a pretty poor story.

              Fighting over a precious resource is rather an old concept these days, perhaps you should find a better concept if you can.

                Such a thing is old and boring. Play WW III, there you got your World War 3. Not about Tiberium, but for oil.

                Well, anyway - keep as it is. Cause ... if any nation was fighting against the other for Tiberium, I think there wouldn't be much left.

                  So this is like connecting the Generals Universe with a New Tiberium Universe. This idea has my support! They could start this with Generals 2!

                      You could do the WWIII thing but then you would have to explain how Tiberium suddenly formed and started growing on earth. GDI and Nod could form after the tiberium discovery and possibly little evidence of Scrin but who knows how it could go at this point.

                        Hum!?

                        Tiberium came crashing down as originally (just a bit earlier), dented out Italy a nice bit and all that. Not being able to cope with the problems arising, Italy as a state crumbles down, degenerating into seperatistic city states and warlords seizing their opportunities. Amidst the chaos, a roman-fascist ideologized faction discovers the merits of Tiberium and recklessly uses it to gain power throughout all of Italy, whilst the other nations on earth are busy handling themselves in a not-yet hot conflict on natural ressources and technology, having regarded Tiberium as a hazard only, do now recognize the reason of New Rome's rise and the potential, and dangers, that come with Tiberium.

                        Soon, after having manifested in former Italy, New Rome starts an expansionist war to keep their previously war-centred economy from collapsing, throughout the means of extensive utilization of Tiberium as a new ressource founding their efforts, with more and more nations aligning themselves into opposing blocks:

                        One that longs to benefit from the Tiberian infestation and its potentials.
                        Another that opposes its spread on the basis of the yet unknown magnitude of its hazards.
                        And finally New Rome itself, which is more or less simply looking out for ways to keep going as a relic from the warstricken former Italy roving warlords to survive as a people and to reintroduce itself as a nation.

                        With the foreign blocks more and more antagonizing themselves and a not yet socially, economically recovered but unparalled in military might and wealth on resources led by ideologists embracing fascists basics and the illusion of a reborn Roman Empire ignite the powder kettle, a new world war erupts with one faction trying to seize control of the Tiberium, the other fighting from keeping from it, New Rome just trying to survive and through their utilization of Tiberium as a power drawing the envy of one and the hostility of the other faction.

                            I see a WWIII/tiberium scenario with a new generals game. Others may say that this scenario shouldn't be done but I would like to see how the generals universe deals with tiberium. The only problem I see is mistakenly copying Tiberium Dawn in the process. Also, GDI and NOD coming out of the ashes is not going to work...that was already done in Red Alert. I don't think I can handle another alternate universe.

                              The point of this idea is make sense of the past in tiberium, and explore how modern nations would have reacted to tiberium,

                              It's not directly meant to combine the Generals universe, but it could.
