Tiberium Dusk is a re-imagining of the Kane's Wrath universe in a way I feel better fits canon, as EA did a pretty poor job with the C&C franchise continuity from Tiberium Wars onwards. This mod doesn't change anything with regards to the story but helps add elements to the gameplay that "fill the gaps" and provide a more Tiberian Sun esque experience (including all its flaws and unbalances) and departs away from the Kane's Wrath RTS formula. Still a work in progress, I've made changes to the AI (buffed turtle AI and made brutals harder), made changes to "Militant Squads" which make them work with the timeline of the franchise, changed the "Nod" faction entirely with a new name, as Kane's Wrath "Nod" works more of a splinter faction rather than a true "Brotherhood"; with Marked of Kane being the new face of the faction. There are also numerous changes to GDI and Scrin, especially Reaper 17 and Steel Talons, which make them play significantly differently.
The Mastodon is getting a bit of revamp with a new addition of 4 railguns making it an absolute unit.
The original guns may or may not be removed, or separated onto an upgrade path, this isn't likely the first change to this unit however. ;)
looks awesome still
Oh damn!
The chin gun looks ridiculous compared to its original Mammoth Mk. II counterpart tbh, but hopefully that ridiculousness is backed up by adequate power to replace its former chin-mounted twin-machine gun.
Still looks nice on the overall design regardless. :)
Its likely to be removed due to the new design, I may seek to replace it with an anti-infantry machinegun or something similar.
I always thought that the goofy looking cannon looked more like an EMP or something.
Its based off the goofy *** CNC4 models (ignoring my edit ofc) which some parts are amazing imo (The Mastodon in itself is fairly cool) but the weapons look terrible. lol
ha ha ha Yeah, I hear ya and am IMMENSELY RELIEVED you share my opinion on how goofy/ridiculous its chin gun looks like in comparison to its original non-goofy/ridiculous twin-barreled machine gun, which the Tiberium Essence mod replicates beautifully like its former TS counterpart as shown here in these two render images of it: I.imgur.com I.imgur.com
