Someone posted the Scrin on Reddit so that probably helped the views.

L Coop oh thats why thx for this info since I don’t reddit

Thanks for the kind words! And I'm glad you enjoy the videos. And yeah I'm hoping the videos give people easier access to the game's lore, as their is actually a good deal of it. Especially across the whole game series.

These will pop up in the future. Just wait.

I had always thought that cabal had been the one to create the marked under direction of kane and that is why he went "rogue" to get as many subjects willing or otherwise as possible

Apologies for the random reply here, but, if you play close attention to the cutscene before the Awakening of The Marked of Kane mission, Kane explicitly says that, "The Marked were disconnected from CABAL's Main grid"

@@TheTiberianWolf That was also the reason why cabal wasnt aware of them and why he didnt use them himself. That said i find it highly suspicious that he didnt knew about them - he would see the NOD resources being diverted somewhere for some purpose and if anything he would be suspicious what that purpose was especially if the materials diverted were for cyborg construction in nature. or personel or scientists specialised in robotics/cybernetics

​@krzosu Even LEGION didn't know about the Marked of Kane until after it reawakened in 2052 and Kane told it to activate them, and as we saw through the fear and concern that Alexa Kovaks had as she saw Legion awaken, there was a portion of CABAL's will and memory in LEGION, suggesting the two were very connected. I believe after Kane returned, he would have found what remained of CABAL's data core and used it to build LEGION, which would include what survived of CABAL's memory banks. If CABAL knew of the Marked of Kane, that data could pass to LEGION, unless Kane ordered otherwise or the data was lost. As for the data pertaining to resources used for the Marked of Kane development and storage, Kane could have completely severed that whole region from CABAL's network, preventing it from tracking resource usage that it wasn't even allowed to be aware of. If Kane told CABAL to ignore a region, it would listen, and it would have nothing to share to LEGION. But that's just a theory, and we don't have a real 4th C&C title to expand on that, so we'll just have to speculate.

@@krzosu Kane could of easily had a subtle "glitch" in Cabal's programming where it couldn't see anything related to the Marked nor could it reasonably conclude that the existence of MOK.

Was looking for this comment. Omnissiah bless.

it was stated by kane in his diary that no he basicaly spent that entire time mentaly dueling cabal cabal jockeying off of many bodies to increase creative thinking and to increase cognitive ability

CABAL was the framework that LEIGON was built from, its why you see flashes of it. During his time in stasis Kane had to mentally “defeat” the AI to regain his own body again.

@@Ontinara Yet CABAL could still be like a ghost in the machine that is LEGION. Still I like CABAL way more and hate how EA just killed it off. It was the best Villain of command and conquer next to Kane.

@@burninghalls oh for real fighting him felt like humanity was on the back foot the whole time. Having him be a sleeper in LEGION would have been fun. Like if the Marked of Kane then betrayed from the inside on the final mission and as the overall commander you'd have to handle GDI and half your base against you.

Ra1 is connected

I was thinking the same thing that cabal ran out of time but I also think he couldn't bypass kanes security systems (thus why at the end of firestorm storm you can see the monitor of cabal and Kane trying to merge as a means to trick the system however the union prevented its task from being completed) so that if cabal was ever compromised then he wouldn't have to worry about gdi or nod learning about his secret and try to either destroy the mark of Kane or use them for their own purpose. Honestly i don't think he ever expected the security system to hinder cabal and its genocide of humanity lol

It*

We do know he did something like this. GDI spent years hunting down cabals bunkers until almost the 3rd war.

That was the good thing about the cyborgs from Tib Sun. Granted the standard cyborg had pretty mediocre weaponry, but they were tough to get rid of in large numbers. I missed being able to heal the new ones in tiberium given how they were weaker than their predecessors. Still, it'#s good to see cyborgs make a return.

The in-game rendition of the awakened does drop the ball a bit, they don’t look nearly as intimidating as in the concept art. Nothing that some mods can’t fix tho

@@soulgamer612 the cover art awakened is so much cooler than the shity in game version and the concept art version

@@bernholtz1 yeah I meant that version. A shame it didn’t translate in-game

Face it, the aesthetics were just better in TibSun overall. The maps looked more apocalyptic and desolate, the units had more realistic designs despite employing futuristic weapons, and the animations of projectiles while simpler, had a lot more punch behind them and looked better. C&C3 on the other hand, had more pastoral maps, grossly exaggerated, cartoonish units, and silly animations. For design, let's compare the devil's tongue from the 2nd Tiberium War with the flame tank from the 3rd Tiberium War. The latter has two large, very conspicuous fuel tanks that are just begging to be shot at, and the whole thing looks like a vacuum cleaner. Its 2nd Tiberium War counterpart on the other hand is nightmare fuel. We only have to conjure the image of that poor GDI soldier being consumed by one in the trailer to convince ourselves. Now let's compare cyborgs. Cyborgs from the 2nd Tiberium War were terrifying. How we do know this? Well just look at 'em! Again, we can consult cut scenes in order to prove that our opinions are correct. Now let's turn to those of C&C3. What happened to their necks? Why are their heads so big? A normal human is 7.5 head lengths tall, whereas the Marked of Kane specimen featured at 9:19 is about 6.5 head lengths. Aren't they supposed to tower over normal soldiers? And since they use actual human bodies as their core, shouldn't they be 9 or 10 head lengths in height, if not more? Did Kane handpick those soldiers with the largest heads for his cybernetic research? Finally, why the hell do they swing their arms out to the sides when they run? Call it what you will, but it certainly doesn't invoke any of the dread of 2nd Tiberium War cyborgs. C&C3 is what you get when you have a larger budget, better specs, but less talent and creativity on the part of the developers.

@@xshullaw You mean Boyle, not GDI. The general himself was not in favor of that, but alas, power has it's place.

Sorry for the incoming long comment. So originally I did believe exactly what you said about the MoK being developed after cabal's rebellion. But the intelligence data base entry regarding the MoK implies that that was not the case. I would read that whole entry, but specifically there is this last paragraph which says: "The path was long and arduous, and outside of a few promising developments - the most notable being the cyborg armies of CABAL - far from successful. Eventually, the Second Tiberium War drew to a close, the Marked of Kane finally near completion. However, it was too late to save Nod and the Marked of Kane were left to slumber deep beneath the Earth, awaiting their master's call..." This seems to imply that they were in development during TW2 and were very close to completion but it was too late for NoD to make use of them since Kane had been wounded by McNeil and put into stasis, which put Slavik in charge who, along with other members of the Inner Circle, did not seem to know about the existence of the MoK specifically. Obviously they new about the generic cyborgs that they used but the MoK were apparently separate from those. The only other entity besides Kane who could have known about their existence would have been CABAL who was hooked up to almost all of Nod's computer systems. Though I guess it's possible Kane could have also kept the MoK's existence disconnected from CABAL's systems as well.

@@Jethild That bit of intel makes it clear, thanks.

@@Jethild I think if Kane was smart enough he would of kept the MOK project secret from CABAL. Kane has done things like this before in the past. He kept information from Alexa and Killian as well as others he didn't fully trust. I wonder if he thought CABAL might of been changed by the tacitus. He still needed Tratos and CABAL and himself and possibly his top scientist to translate it. The tacitus might of only contained information but its best to be on the safe side if your interfacing a machine with something that might have some possible virus on it. Slavik also had to capture a functional EVA unit and have it reprogrammed so if Kane was worried about CABAL somehow becoming changed or reprogrammed that would make sense. It's odd that in Firestorm CABAL requires the Tacitus which Kane requires to learn how to get the Scrin to come to earth. I wonder if CABAL was infected with some virus which made him want to exterminate all human life and replace it with his army that he can control. There is still not enough known about the Tacitus and who made it. If there was some other ancient society or other alien race that were the rival of the Scrin then they would do anything to stop the Scrin destroying life on planets and replacing it with teberium based life. If the Tacitus is Scrin then they would want it back in their hands or away from Kane or CABAL or GDI as they only want to go to planets are Tiberium has done the job killing off all life, then you can just harvest forever in peace with next to no resistance.

We also must remember Kane intended to lose the 3rd war. Revealing hid trjmp card would only lead to it's destruction.

You can just read the wiki too. Hes saying the exact same thing.

I think there's another possibility, CABAL seized control of the Cyborg Corps directly while LEGION had to go directly to Russia and reactivate the Marked, it could just be that the Marked weren't networked and CABAL didn't want to waste the time or resources to bring them online and network the units whether because of arrogance or because CABAL was too busy with Nod and GDI in the war to spare the "manpower."

@@lordfrostwind3151 Your theory makes more sense. Could even tie a bit with the cost-effectiveness/obsolescence one. Or that CABAL just saw them as redundant at that point - it (or Kane... or both) didn't foresee NOD and GDI allying to take CABAL down.

Hm, I'm not sure I classify the MoK as obsolete compared to their prototypes in TW2 and Firestorm. While they may not be able regenerate on tib fields, they are significantly faster than the lumbering machines during the second war and are equipped with EMP cannons. Considering how effective the Reaper was with just simple nets to capture infantry, cyborgs with emp to shut down tanks alongside them would have been a huge bonus for CABAL. Holding onto those as back up as NOD and GDI got *near* his core and then never using them doesn't seem likely. As for cost-effectiveness....in CABAL's army, there's not really an 'economy' to speak of as there is only one will. The only thing that would limit CABAL would be resources, but considering how much he could have salvaged from GDI and NOD during the beginning and middle of his insurrection, he probably could have made due easily enough. Nah, the only two reasons CABAL wouldn't have activated the MoK was, as you said, perhaps arrogance or he didn't know about them.

Most of the Fandom doesn't count CnC 4 as Canon since it doesn't mesh well at all with the existing timeline

@@Darqshadow Oh, I know. :) The joke on the subreddit that C&C4 doesn't exist has been going on for 12+ years now. C&C4 was an awful game, but it had some interesting ideas and concepts that could be reused for other things e.g. a C&C3 mod (which is why we see mods with C&C4 units in them). The game itself? Garbage. The storyline? Garbage. The units and concepts plagued by poor execution? Salvageable. Heck, even the Crawler System could be used, if they were MCV enhancements (e.g. adding advantages and disadvantages, such as wheels being faster on flat terrain, aerial being weaker in HP and armour, and legs on rough terrain/cliffs).

You are right. I don't why I never noticed this. So if in Nod are dr. Gero and cyborgs, there also should be the ultimate Nod cyborg like Cell xD

No wtf are you saying it's just a coincidence

I’d like to see a Forgotten one too.

I think your auto correct is messing with you, Siberian Tropper and Siberian liquid

Just a guess, but they may have been used for propaganda purpose. At some point, Nod realized that a robot face made it harder to get denizens of Red and Yellow Zones into thinking Nod actually cared about them and ultimately joining the Brotherhood than a human face even though both bodies were just as souless.

I don't know if there's a lore explanation, but there are many reasons I can think of, for one having an abomination of flesh and metal can be scary asf (just look at the awakened concept art or the Firestorm Reapers' cinematics), so *psychological warfare*, specially if they are mutant-humans (like the ones from Project ReGenesis or the ones from TibSun) or dead ones (the Marked of Kane, probably the Reapers as there's a cut cinematic where there's one with a human skull and no flesh). You also have the problem of the AI's, despite how advanced EVA is, it's still pretty basic compared with CABAL (who used both robotic components and literally human minds/brains), so there's probably some problems with machine/software-only units, or maybe they aren't as clever/tactical as the cyborgs and the controlled-drone units (like the "Mantis")

Their human minds certainly retained some memory of the Nod religion. Pairing that with the AI/biological interface, and you had a soldier that literally believed in the input code received. Fear was stripped away. Certain biological functions no longer impeded their efforts. Essentially, they were terminators derived from a prior living soul and iron framework.
