"Welcome back, Foreman."

Man I miss this series so much. Almost nothing I've played, before or since, has managed to nail the atmosphere of its world, quite like this.

Fun Fact recently shown by one of the Kanes Wrath player, Masterleaf: Sonic Emitter has additional function, in area around it, Emitters REMOVES Ion Storms, basically making it an a way to counter the Storm Columns and Plannetary Assault Carriers Storm Ability This isnt stated in description of Sonic, but in code.

What's always worth considering is that as apocalyptic as the Scrin 'invasion' was, it was never intended to actually be an invasion. The fleet we see were miners. Tiberium left to it's own devices would consume a planet, render it uninhabitable to all life except Scrin, and upon reaching a critical mass would cause a massive explosion, signalling the nearby dormant Scrin miners to begin their work. Every single event in C&C3 was carefully orchestrated by Kane to bring the Scrin to earth before that happened. -The destruction of the Philadelphia to start the 3rd tiberium war -The creation of a massive liquid-T reservoir underneath Sarajevo -The baiting of GDI to strike Temple Prime with the Ion Cannon, thus triggering the liquid-T and causing the same kind of explosion that signalled the Scrin This meant that when the Scrin did arrive, instead of finding a tiberium world with /maybe/ a few isolated pockets of resistance, they instead found two world superpowers already on a war footing, which is why beyond the initial shock of the Scrin arrival, they were defeated in pretty short order, and of course Kane succeeded in capturing the most valuable bit of alien tech ever seen We see a little bit of the more military arm of the Scrin in Reaper-17 but we never actually see a full planetary invasion force, or what the Scrin consider their actual military (assuming they make such a distinction)

Scrin was my favorite faction back when me and a friend played this. I like their utterly alien design, and they had a lot of neat tricks up their sleeve.

A second scrin invasion had so much potential for c&c 4... Yeah, even the crawlers, which would have made sense when mobile warfare would have been necessary against hunting and evading the scrin forces maybe. There could even have been traditional base building in sectors of high importance for the specific factions filled with easter eggs and challenging scrin-alien-bosses. There could have been battles in space with space-crawlers which would have made actual sense. We could have gotten a little teaser what happened to the brotherhood and Kane after they went through the gateway and their purpose or battle against the entire scrin world... What missed potential everywhere...

I wasn't aware of the Ion storm's effect on missiles, it's a neat little detail. Anyways, good video, as usual!

Forgot to mention that you cannot construct or place any structures directly under a storm column generated ion storm. This made placement of Scrin defenses tricky, especially in the heat of battle. One trick used by a savy Scrin Foreman was to construct a storm column, then power it down while placing other defenses (or even, another storm column) nearby. Once defenses have been set, power was restored to the column.

Always a good day with the next dose of C&C lore!!!!

You ever notice how the wormhole power looks like the cutscene chronosphere effect? Really makes you think!

5:25 correct. in early versions of the game cranes could build defenses

I had no clue ion storms could do that to missiles, it's still surprising to me that there's still more to learn on this game!

2:52 that's new thing number 11 that I learned about Kane's Wrath today

You know, knowing we were playing as foreman in scin campaign, make me feel horrifying of what scrin military force are.

Time to learn some more about our favorite funky space farmers.

Could you make a lore video on all the various alien devices and objects, or earthly attempts to duplicate them, that we know about in the Tiberium universe? There are quite many, such as obviously: The Tascitus and all of its various shards, the alien ship parked in Nod's Cairo base as seen in Renegade, the Tiberian sun "Scrin ship", which was actually a Nod construct, some of the Renegade weapons like the Volt autorifle that seems like it ain't based on anything earthly (looking at those storm columns and lightning spikes, sure seems like an early attempt to replicate their weapon systems by Nod), and such and such. Heck, even the Tiberium meteors that, after the initial impact in Italy, have been a constant thing to bombard earth could technically count as an alien device/object. In the Tib sun manual, it's noted that meteor storms seem to have a knack for impacting already existing Tiberium fields for whatever reason too. Earth being bombed by a ton of Tiberium loaded meteors after the original one brought it here can't be a coincidence. Either those meteors were sent by the Scrin, and so were a continuation of seeding it here, or some of them were natural. Which in itself presents a troubling realization: If those Tiberium meteors were the result of the original ground zero Meteor infecting other asteroids as it sailed towards Earth...this would mean likely, given enough time, every single terrestrial planet in the solar system will begin showing signs of Tiberium infestation. As despite Carbon based life being handy to spread it early on...Tiberium is more than capable of just getting by on its own if it landed on, say, Mars, or one of the moons of Jupiter or something. Merely, it just grows a lot slower.

Glad to see CC4 is not Canon here lol. I wish we got more on the thresholds though. I wish we knew what Kane really wanted it to do.

2:28 "What the hell is that!?" "Looks like a localized ion storm." "But that's impossible!" "Yeah, tell that to the aliens!" - Excerpt from a conversation between GDI soldiers encountering a Storm Column during GDI's reclamation of... Well, what's left of Berne, Switzerland

Just another long hard day mining tuberium, gotta love your work!

Just so happened i opened YT Home Page and found it early

The photon missiles were honestly more of a nightmare to deal with than the lightning tower. The towers at least only strike one unit, but the Photon missiles? Have air units clumped together, and and watch the splash damage hit like three units.

this game's depth and quality is still standing as a masterpiece after all this years.

Nothing like ending the day with another portion of C&C lore. I missed this so much and can't wait for another video. ☺👍

I find Scrin defense soo strong and synergies well with their own units

I've never clicked so fast for a c&c content before. And with the Scrinn being my favorite. I wouldn't want to miss a video about them.

it's so sad to watch how your one of the most favourite game is just gone without story ending....

Excellent execution as always, Jet. Happy to get more lore and information about this stuff

Something I used to do was after building a storm column, I would power it off and build another one right up against it, up to four of them, and then turn the power back on for them. While on, the storm they produced prevented you from building around them, but when off and the storm dissipated, you could build next to them like any other structure. I found this out and started stacking them like Tesla coils from Red Alert 1&2 😂 Literally the only way to get past them was to use artillery or super weapons.

damn today seems to be my lucky da 1st i get to see another lore epi on deathkorps of krieg (warhammer 40k) and now a C&C vid from you 😍 great video as always 👍

This just went from a good day to a great day! Good to see ya Jeth!

I love the Tiberian Sun 2 intro so much. And the button sounds. Ohhh..

GDI kicked a lot of hornet's nests and stepped on a lot rakes when trying to attack Scrin bases

Keep up the good work man time to get peoples attentions back to this amazing series, as I pray we get something that removes the stain of twilight as I would fucking love to see a passion game come from it.

I had no idea they deflected missles, that's new to me

Great video as always, eagerly awaiting NOD defenses next

Damn i miss c&c so much. I just wanna say thank you for all the videos man! Each single one is an absolutle blast to watch!

thanks for the comeback jethild

you made my day with this awsome video again thx for all this work you put in these videos 👍

Nice work on the scrin defences and turrets

Heck yeah! I knew today was a good day!

Nice video! Continue doing these. Super interesting lore!

Well the first Scrin "Invasion force" wasnt rly a invasion force but more of a icor harvest force, so the actual scrin military should pack far more of a punch than the ones from the harvest force.

Excellent video, keep this wonderful videos coming !!!

Awesome. Always love when you bring out a new CnC vid. 😊

i was expecting that you will make new video this week

When you're done with the tiberium timeline, are you gonna then work on the red alert timelines.

Welcome back, Jethild

An amazing new vid to start the year off!

Welcome back my friend ❤😊

Excellent work jethild 👍

I couldn't understand why the Scrin didn't either interfere with or wipe out GDI's ion cannons. Surely they would have some form of interstellar ship capable of taking them out. I miss the tiberium series so much from CABAL to the Scrin these games had such an awesome storyline. I wondered if LEGION containing elements of CABAL if LEGION would ever been taken over and then you get an even worse version of the Firestorm crisis. Sadly because EA own the IP I will probably never even see another remastered collection because they need the game to sell like hotcakes so their overly greedy CEOs and investors will be happy. So now it sits in a sort of dead limbo along with everything else spawned from the CNC games. Even the DUNE games are in ashes and no I don't considered the Dune Spice Wars anything as its turn based. I want to play a real RTS again.

Your videos never fail to impress! ❤

Glad you’re back!

you always bring us the greatest content as usual

another exelent tactical briefing by Logistics Officer Jethild as through as always 👍

Dude these videos are so good i remember I binge watched all the videos and just wanted more!!! Iv subscribe now finally I cant wait for more uploads

If C&C ever gets resurrected, they need to continue off from where Kane's Wrath left off. Legion activates the dormant tower and inadvertently allows the scrin to invade with a full invasion force

I've been playing this game for over a decade and didn't know that ion storms can disrupt missiles!

Consistantly high quality cheers b

The plasma missile battery rips everything when upgraded with shard launchers. Won so many games laming Trav-59 just with this + disint + cultist. BTW E.R.H.A.N.

I'm gonna need to replay this game for the nostalgia.

Is very curious the desing of the scrin defenses, looks basic desing but very usefull and strong, specially the storm tower.

I wonder if/when you will cover the Red Alert universe.

Nice

"second invasion will be begin shortly foreman,the time to take over earth!" well the scrin more high tech than others so maybe more units in their arsenal will have in the second invasion

5:20 in 1.0 cranes (GDI, Nod and Scrin) were able to build defenses; however, as some players were used to spam defenses to entrench themselves, this was seen as an issue and thus the ability cranes had, got removed 12:10 another use of the scrin wormhole was to teleport the mastermind near the T3 tech structure (to deny the enemy capacity of building heavy units such as the Mammoth tank or the Avatar walker), once the T3 tech building was captured, a Signal Transmitter was built, allowing the deployment of a mothership, who immediately begin to fire on the Signal Transmitter: the blast could devastate a whole enemy base, or force the enemy player to sell a lot of valuable buildings to preserve the remaining of his base from an utter destruction I remember once having seen someone using it this tactic to win a 2v2 match by destroying his whole base and his two opponents' bases :D 12:40 for this one, a common strategy was to deploy this power on a part of the enemy tank group - u know, when during 1v1 or 2v2 matches player do a push with a bunch of tanks - so when half of the enemy tank army was "disabled", you were able to outnumber the remaining tanks and destroy them 13:30 about the mothership, note that once it was spawned above your base.. well, you had to act quickly, because not only these things can obliterate your whole base in a matter of seconds, but they were also pretty armored, despite looking like a floating hula hoop. Have i already said that these things traumatize me still today? :D

I loved using storm columns and PAC's and just turtle my way to victory.... Lol

if i remember right when the game first released you could build defences from the support crane but they patched it out as you could defend a location very quickly.

I still have every original C&C disc and licence key. Will have to dust them off and go back in time for some retro gaming fun.

Ris and shine, Mr. Foreman. Rise and shine.

the overlord's wrath power makes me wonder if the scrin have laced other planets with tiberium in our solar system.

For some reason I thought the signal transmitter was called a fleet beacon. Maybe I just have too much starcraft on the brain.

MORE LORE I GOATTA FEED MY THIRST FOR LORE I AM THIRSTY

the tiberium FPS was going to be the second invasion, still wondering why they canceled it.

5:21 The Foundry and Cranes used to be able to construct base defenses but lost the ability in a balance patch.

The humanity must evolve too, to fight back...

Crane's and foundries were able to construct defenses in the 1.0 version of the base game. It got patched because of gameplay reasons.

I read somewhere a long time ago that the energy used by the Rift Generator was anti-matter, but I can't find it. -.-

I miss this franchise, some people seeth at the very concept of the scrinn when they were around for well since CnC2, but being a secret third faction was always awesome to see. Its a shame the franchise didnt go past kane's wrath.

I wish they would make a real c&c 4. With decent story and Kane to go along.

I never knew the Storm Column Io Storm could deflect missles

Are you planning on making "Red Alert Lore" videos? Because hot damn i want to know how chronosphere works!

you are correct that the crane being unable to build defenses is for balance reasons in 1.0 cranes could build defenses and scrin harvesters created ion storms on tiberium fields they were using

Could you do the forgotten base defense and structure next?

Still can't getover the fact that in lore, the Scrin we see in the franchise was only an expeditionary mining group in charge of scouting and assessing tthe new planet of harvest. This means that the tech used by the Scrin on the expeditionary mining group was not even their best and GDI and Nod already had trouble with it.

Juan minute!

so... the brotherhood of NOD is the good guy/faction after all V:

Also just to clarify, the rift created by the Rift Generator is a wormhole heavily charged with antimatter particles created as a powerful singularity that blows everything sucked in into deep space... Think of it as an artificial black hole with an exit point past the event horizon... Boy I gotta lay off the Tiberium for a bit, I went total astrophysicist there...

Would it be possible for you to make videos about the lore of command and conquer red alert universe?

Fun fact: in version 1.0 of the game, the cranes and assembler could build defensive buildings

The only faction that can have all your support power and defense well they will rip ya.

Can you try to cover the Universe at War:Earth Assault factions?

The Scrin really gives me Gigeresque Vibes.

well... I guess it is time to install C&C

I think it can't detect tiberium units as it's not harvestable and has been more refined maybe not giving off enough "energy" to be detected. I think that can get around that issue do you agree.

As for the Brotherhood and the towers, Kane never wanted to get off Earth for the sake of wanting to get off Earth. He took the tower so he could choose a planet for the entire Brotherhood to live on without ANY GDI interference and begin building his own interstellar empire He wants universal domination. Like most of the fanbase I consider C&C 4 completely non-canon.

Jet... What do you think about Generals Shockwave.... Its very good Mode and 3 new generals with good lore! Please...?

Was TibSun ever remastered for modern hardware?

You should add Halo Wars to your future expansion?

Supervisor : This humiliating defeat cannot be tolerated. Informed the main fleet.... The Overlord demand retribution. Sadly.... The forces known as Electronic Ark destroy earth before the Scrin can command and conquer it...
