OK we've had several ideas, the most popular one being "What CNC3 should've been" - or "Scrinvasion", as others have called it. We'll decide on a better name later OK  It can be based off of things talked about on the Petroglyph forums. If you didn't know, most of the ex-Westwood staff are now working in Petroglyph, including the ones who made Tiberian Sun. There is awesome info here on the intentions of TS, before EA butted in, including some plans for CABAL and the Scrin. There were planned something like 2-3 expansion packs planned, that were cast aside for the crappy RA2 folly... The information they gave is enough for a guideline, but there's more than enough gaps in to fill in with our own creativity. Or it might be good have something entirely new and unique, but it'll be a lot more tedious to plan since there's no real guidelines, and anything is open game. Not only that, but most 'unique' ideas are sometimes more cliche than ones that are borrowed from elsewhere - If our story is going to have an evil dictator plot world domination, we may as well use the Tiberian Universe anywho Another idea is to have a star wars mod, but ehhh.... When I get a clear idea on what the theme should be, we'll proceed with the more detailed planning, like campaigns and unit concepts and stuff - Right now there's a great deal of ideas already planned for the "scrinvasion" theme, so that's what I'm leaning toward. But I want to hear what everyone else thinks. It is, after all, a community project

Sorry about that Cheil - I like the second part of what you said It also gave me an idea: what might be cool is to have the mutants on some missions just chillin... Then have hidden triggers that will activate them & choose who they ally with. So, if you were to free the mutants from an attack or something, then it would activate a trigger that makes them ally & activate their AI triggers, and help you out. Or if you were, to maybe destroy a church, it would ally the mutants against you, and you'd have to fight them off as well as the original enemies.  Then we could do globals - if you get the mutants to ally with you in one mission, then they'll be your allys in another one, for example, or you might get reinforcements, or something. >And yea the scrin flying thing I was thinking we could make them hover, and change the hover height & [cliff] hover=%100, and everything else in Jah's thread on PPM... I'm thinking we might be wanting some navy stuff, and if we do it'll defeat the purpose of normal hover vehicles - - - OR we could have or exe editors work on a tag that makes HoverHeight= a unit-specific value. >I'm seeing some resemblance between the mutants and Scrin rebels - both of em tame the tiberian wildlife, and since the mutants have the tacitus, they might have some of the rebel's technology - >For part II we can divide the Rebel's technology between the Scrin and the mutants, and maybe Nod as well
