Hmm, I remember something similar, except that the Forgotten built their buildings but deploy/undeploy.
But you seem to have everything in order.

I'll help beta test. Good luck! XD

The Story (I love fiction)

Tratos was dead, Umagon...Something much worse...

The Forgotten were truly forgotten.

Then the rouge Nod AI has suddenly declared a war on all biological lifeforms, plunging the world into chaos. GDI became more concerned with defending their own affairs and Mutant relations became low on thier priority list. All over the world mutants from outposts and settlements were being systematicaly rounded up and processed in CABAL's Cyborg Production plants. Unable to seek help from the GDI, the Forgotten took thier survival into their own hands. The newly annointed mutant leader "Kresta" and Ghoststalker took the Survival of thier people into thier own hands.

Launching raids against poorly guarded GDI arms depots. Using non-lethal tactics the Forgotten disbled GDI defences and "Borrowed" old GDI technology. Realising however they needed more, they launched more raids against Nod arms depots. This time, the guards were expendable. With thier new army, the Forgotten were truly a force to be reckoned with, attacking and destroying CABAL production plants, freeing Mutants and Civilians alike.

When CABAL was eventually shut down (Or was he?) the Forgotten were seen as savoiurs not only to thier people but to the Civilians too, who had also felt "forgotten" during the firestorm crisis.Soon the Forgotten were soon seen as an alternate to GDI. Despite this growing strength, the new Faction wanted to keep close ties with GDI, who despite recent failures, had freed and helped them in the past.The Forgotten had become quite popular with Civilians and Mutants in the newly appointed Yellow Zones and became know was "The Defenders".

(So what do you think?)

[0warfighter0]

Not bad but why would they fight a war now?

[jadems]

They've got nothing to lose.

[Shakar]

As Jadems said, I'll also help test it =)

Story seems good, since they were pretty much left out of Firestorm. I will help with testing, and probably map making if my remake of Sinkhole is great to the public. But other then that, it seems like you have this down =)

[Nintyuk]

One more helper here!

[The White Wizard]

Ok I need to fix some stuff but I will be releasing some screenies lol

[Scorch]

(Maybe I can help a little later on with voxeling and such.)
