Act III GDI: The Bitter End
The year is 2052, 5 years after the Scrin invasion of Earth. GDI has lost the Tacitus to a revived Brotherhood of Nod, after GDI's Rocky Mountain complex was overrun by Nod cyborgs, Black Hand and mainline forces.
The Third Tiberium War and Scrin Invasion has left GDI crippled. 70% of GDI's troops have been killed or missing after years of intense fighting. As a consequence of heavy civilian casualties across the world, GDI may never be able to have enough recruits to refill their ranks to pre-war levels.
With the disgraceful fall of the Steel Talons, ZOCOM has gained additional funding and influence in hopes that their anti-tiberium fanaticism can save the planet from complete devastation. Can the remaining, battle-hardened GDI military stop Nod for the fourth, and hopefully final, time? Or will decades of GDI's resistance to Kane's will break down in the bitter end?

Amazing addition, love how the mission opens up.
Is there a way to implement your readme mission description into the mission/intelligence logs? Its a nice touch that deserves to be read tbh.
Some minor issues:
-in game objectives readings as lines of code.
-The enemy mutant AI tends to ignores/walk through my base defenses and units which makes the mission a bit too easy.
Look forward to the next installment!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the mission!
I've never thought about trying to add in the readme briefings into the intelligence logs. I'm not sure how it can be done but it's certainly a good idea that's worth looking into.
When you say in-game objectives: does is come up as 'MISSING:...'?
The enemy mutants try to rush through where your base is in order to go straight for the tracking station, as that's their priority target.
If the bridge is blown, they will take the long way round.
GDI 2 will be out soon at some time in November I'm hoping so keep your eyes peeled!
Exactly those mission writeups are done quite well, esp. your take on Nod's Ajay story it was great.
I gave the mission another run-thru, the error messages showing Missing. Noscript, etc no longer persists. It probably was a hardware specific issue on my end.
About having the mutants rush to the tracking station that makes sense but maybe consider having a attack force accompanying the mutants to freely target any GDI defenders standing in the way to the tracking station. I think its a fair since the mutants cant really put any pressure on the player once you have 4-5 turrets setup in the northern city entrance. It can feature as a modification to the hard difficulty, though thats up to you man, I respect your work and the creativity that you put into this.
Your dedication is really awesome for CnC community to have, it'll be worth the wait when Part 2 comes out!
Thanks mate, I didn't like how Ajay was treated at the end of C&C3; as he just walks out and that's it. However, that does open the door for anyone who wants to carry on his arch, which I enjoyed doing.
Yeah, I've heard from others that the 'MISSING' error happens randomly, I'm not sure what causes it but I'm guessing it's a compiling issue.
You raise a good point about the mutants. The way I think about attack teams is more story orientated rather than gameplay. The reason the mutants/Divine send so few units against GDI/ZOCOM is to test GDI capabilities, while Nod are hellbent on wiping GDI out. You probably also noticed that the attack teams consist of expendable tamed fiends, Visceroids and Floaters. This was done so that their would be few Divine losses of note, seeing as they are a relatively small sub-faction. I'm a 'show, not tell' developer which perhaps doesn't always work in the missions. I'll consider adapting going forward based on your advice.
Thank you once again, comments like yours makes it all worthwhile!
Absolutely, the work your doing is giving modern EA it's run for its money. Having millions in money, resources large teams doesn't matter when vision and creativity is absent. God bless ya fren :)
Well of course the aftermath of Kane's wrath campaign will be made by the greatest C&C modder in our time i have always wandered what happened after the nod campaign (Totally ignoring the imposter that EA made) well then good luck and enlighten me with the answer
i played first missions dude and it was awesome. thank you for your content!
Thanks mate for coming out with Part Two so fast.
I hope you and your family are doing well, stay safe.
Thanks mate, I hope you and your family are safe and well too.
Is this the complete version. Been played other campaigns that made by you and feels awesome.
Hey, glad you are enjoying the campaign so far!
At this moment, 2 missions are released and 2 more will be added to make a total of 4 missions for the campaign
looks awesome man. your work is amazing!
Seems to be something wrong with mission 4 that is causing random failures. The two marked buildings I need to capture are clearly still alive, but I got a random mission failed at this point twice.

My guess is something you are supposed to protect later on outside of the playable map dies, but since I've not seen the whole mission/map I can't be sure.
Yes, I have also bug with failures, but after 5-10 minutes of game.
It seems, that it happens randomly.
Maybe they have to check script about lose/failure.
Does this happen on one certain difficulty or all? I haven't encountered it myself but I'm guessing it's something to do with the AI building units when they shouldn't be
I don't know exactly, but I was playing that mission at Hard difficulty and unfortunately I haven't idea what it could be related with
I was playing on normal difficulty and I don't know what is causing it either. I built a small force, cleared the nod base of units and defences and pop, mission failed.
Ah that happened to me too. I think it because the GDI space port's base was destroyed by Nod forces right before or after we capture the small Nod base.
I only know that the next objection are defending the port and destroy 2 nuclear silos.
So will mission 4 fixed ?

Thank you for your work! These are probably the most beautiful maps you have made among your C&C 3 maps 😄😄😄😄😄
Mission 1:
Mission 2:
Mission 3:
Mission 4:
Mission 4 fails .
In mission 4, in hard. The Nod IA is so aggresive that destroy the main objective even before i capture the first Nod base
What's with the Conqueror at the end of mission 4?
