C&C Story line Thread

The great qustion i how dose the storyline go? Do Tiberum Dawn and Red Alert have any conection? Wher do Kain come from? How old is the Brotherhood of nod? Dose Generals have anything to do with C&C at all?

In short this Tread is about what YOU think.

RedAlert -------> Tib Dawn ----> Tib Sun
-AfterMath -Fire Storm
-Counter Strike

For the most part it goes like that. RA2/YR can be considered a "spin-off" type of game, since they have little or nothing to do with the creation of Nod and GDI.

And Generals.....It just has almsot nothing to do with C&C at all

I do not belive that Red Alert was before Tiberum Dawn. I think Red alert is in a parale univers. how else did technolgy like Tesla weapons and Time trave become forgoten?

if you ask me you didnt really have to ask, just do some research on google i bet you could find an answer there, a thread for one question to be answered by 1 post is incredibly pointless

If you search on Googles you will find most certen a someone else opion. This is one story spreed by a game magizin that has become very popular but is not form Westwood what i know. Also know that this therd is made to descuse the storyline in a many levels. Like the simlartys betwin Kain and the bortherhood of Nod with the bible.

Red Alert is part of it. WS intended it to be that way.

Remember the quote "he who control the past, conquers the future." ? Kane was in Red Alert as an assistant to Stalin, you can see it in one of the cut scenes.

The Soviets become Nod, and the Allies become GDI. But since the Allies won the first war, they of course stole a number of technologies from the Soviets, such as the Mammoth Tank. After the Soviets fell, years later follwers formed the Brotherhood of Nod, as you know, they were an underground organization, that only gained power when they could make money from harvesting tiberium.

Tesla tanks were in the expansions, not the actually C&C storyline. And obviously time travel was not forgoten, since Kane was there in the first place.

a very simeler quote can be found in the book 1984 wich do not have anything to do with time travel. The quote can be seen as is the victorys who wright the history and by contronling the history you can control the persent. Just look at what you lern in history class and you know what i mean

But if Red Alert is in a paralel universe then Kane may very well excitste both in TD and RA timeline. Infact it would be odd if not nod would excite in the time RA is played out as the orgnisation is sade to be extremly old. (I think i saw some date it back to 4000 BC.) And its also a unknowe how old Kane him self is.

And why did not GDI or Nod use Time travel if it was invented? Nod would defenatly not hestate in useing as they ar a very Technocratic cult.

PS: Tesla tank may have bin in the expation but Tesla weapons like the Tesla tower exciste in the unexpanded game.

I don't know why you're being so philisophical. I mean, it's just a game. They development team could've screwed up on something. lol

Becuse its fun

Yeah i know ther may be many mestakes made by Westwood but this is just for fun. Just see this as one of thos idiotic Treki descutions why almost all civs ar humanoids.

A lot of thought was actually put into the C&C storyline. They were all best selling titles too. I've yet to see another RTS series that has such a complex storyline.

1:command and conquer 1 -> tiberiun sun
-covert operations -tiberiun firestorm
+command and conquer renegade

2:red alert 1 -> red alert 2
-counterstrike 1 -yuri's revenge
-counterstrike 2
-the aftermath

3:generals
-zero hour

that are the 3 main streams of westwood/ ea pacific

and,.,,, the brotherhood of NOD is born in 1995 i think that was the year command and conquer 1 was released to show some real guts in the game world

Yes it true that Nod started to show is self during the 1990is but ther seams to have conection way back. It could be just that Westwood just copyed some parts from the bible for no reason but i belive they knew what they wher doing. (and in the process creating a mysic aura about Nod.)

Followers of the old(fallen) soviet union formed Nod, but stayed underground for years, then surfaced when they made loads of money from tiberium. That's one way TD follows off of Red Alert 1(TD had shit all to do with RA2, that's why it's not in the main storyline. It's more of a spin-off, like I said.)

The thing i find realy interesting and very confusing is the Renegade 2 to seams to take place betwine Red Alert 2 and Tiberum Dawn. The game neven made it but ther is a lot of concept art and Sreenshots form the delopment. Why do they make it all so confusing? (ofcouse whe can just igore Ren2 as it never made it.)

There is a lot of reading but it's all there...

Planetcnc.com

I have read it but ther seams to be many thigs that do not add up. Lots of speculations and false asumputions.
