This is my concept for an CnC mod set in alternate history WW2 setting.
Synopsis: in 19th Century the ruins of a civilization called Antediluvian, are found all around the world starting a race between European powers, United States and even Japan to retrieve the incredible artifacts found inside them; that lead to an unprecedented technological development that quickly caught the attention of national military industrial complexes whom exploit the Great War to test them on the battlefield. Almost 2 decades later Germany and its allies deeds bring the world to a new Great War and the experience obtained by the application of Antediluvian technology, will reach a new peak of death and destruction.
Aesthetic: A mix of early-mid Cold War with retro futuristic elements.
Factions: there are two main factions Axis and Allies, each one divided into nations with their own units and meta, though the type of units are more or less the same with their own unique gimmicks

Expansions
Scorched Earth: Australia is on the brink of invasion; while China is on the brink of falling to the cause of its misfortunes 2 new nations: ANZAC (hybrid units) and Chinese Empire (incendiary weapons), also new maps
The Old Shadow: WW2 is over and all nation involved come out weakened. A movement called International Front For Africa and Asia Liberation (IFFALL), or International Front in short, exploit the situation to start a bloody struggle to end colonial oppression, but its real purposes are beyond politics and self-determination... A new campaign for British Empire, French Republic and ANZAC set in Africa and Asia.
The New Order: set in an Axis victory scenario, where the remnants of Soviet Union try to reunite Russia to expel German oppressor from its territories.
The Red Alert: Tension between Soviet Union and Allies reach the no-return point, who will win? Inspired by Red Alert 1 with new 4 new nations: Spain Commune (tactical flexibility), Ukraine Soviet Republic (artillery), Czechoslovakia Soviet Republic (tanks), North Korea (Hit-and-run tactics) and new units.
Sand Storm: the International Front wars did not spare Middle East. The old tensions no longer matter. 2 New factions Israel (long range attacks) and Levant Coalition (High rate of fire).
