This is what we know as of May 22, 2007. Post any more useful info you find, if it's not in here:

I took a look through the Petroglyph forums and found these topics that might help with the mod:
Original intentions for TS
Regarding Scrin
The CNC Storyline
CABAL
These were the most useful ones

Quotes from Ishmael, on the links posted above ^^^
I did a blitz on each of topics and brought together to most important ones...We should make the mod follow these as much as possible wink1.gif

QUOTE (popcorn2008 (a fan))
So in TW it is a liquid tiberium explosion that summons the scrin to Earth, "Ichor LQ Detonation". Was this planned from the start?


It was not. It was the scrin rebels that fled with the tacitus that brings the Scrin forces to Earth.

QUOTE (popcorn2008 (a fan))
Now that being said, was the storyline changed from what you guys intended Kane's original goals to be?


It's different than we had planned it, but remember it didn't go through as much scrutiny because we never got to filming stages with it. I don't know how it would have ended up with us, but it was different in the planning stages.

QUOTE
We went back and forth on just where the Tacitus came from, but the translation of it is really the key -- what some may interpret as a warning from it could really be written prophecy or even an instruction manual to other eyes, depending on who is reading it and what they want to get from it.

I'm curious to see where EA goes with the Tacitus now. There's several directions they could take it in from where we had it post TS/FS. Given the C&C3 story, they didn't really expand on its origin one way or another, since again, its message is open to interpretation.
QUOTE
Remember that tablet that Kane had in his palace in Renegade? In a vid at the end of C&C TD during the credits?

It depicts something important, and gives you a clue as to his origins.

QUOTE
Yes, there was a loadout screen where you could choose units to take into battle. This was also planned for C&C3, which we had working in the WW prototype, but that wasn't the direction taken by EA. The drop pods, added in Firestorm, were supposed to be in TS (and customizable before a match) for GDI.
QUOTE
Also, these responses are more in-line for what C&C3 would have contained originally, not TS.
QUOTE (Crasking)

- What did you plan to happen with the forgotten ?


The Scrin didn't account for what effect Tiberium would have on some humans (i.e. the forgotten). They thought it would kill all humans off, but unfortunately, some that were exposed survived and actually began to be able to harness Tiberium's energies themselves. They turned out to be humankind's most powerful weapon against the Scrin, since they could control Tiberium in a way the Scrin could not, making them a huge threat. The forgotten were going to become a full faction in the expansion for the game.

QUOTE (Crashking)
- What did you plan to happen with tiberium and tiberium life forms?


Tiberium had taken over parts of the planet that GDI did not build and run their atmosphere processors near (data from the Tacitus allowed the creation of these processors, which reversed Tiberium's growth). Some areas were more affected by Tiberium than others (Tiberium grew better in moist / warmer climates), and those heavily affected had undergone complete metamorphosis of terrain, flora, and fauna. Species of all forms of life either died off, adapted, or mutated into things that could survive in those areas. Even GDI and Nod would not enter some of the (to use the C&C3 vocab) "red" zones, where Tiberium had completely taken over, as constant ion storms and all kinds of new animal and plant life was very hostile to intruders. Those areas were written off as lost causes.

QUOTE
Ah, CABAL... I remember the day we came up with the acronym. I can still see it on the white-board.

Computer Assisted Bio-organic Artificial Life-form

RE: CABAL's future

Yep, we had plans for him. Without going into any real detail, eventually, he'd re-emerge with a cyborg / machine faction that had its desires set on conquering not just humanity... but the Scrin as well. The creation of CABAL via the Tacitus information and Kane's mind made for a very power-hungry and ruthless entity that sought control above all else.
QUOTE
Kane built CABAL and incorporated pieces of his psyche into the machine while constructing its personality. Ever see the film "Saturn 5"? The robot learned its obsessions and murderous tendencies from the "teacher" it was connected to -- a similar thing happened here. CABAL is an extension of Kane's mind so that Kane would have a completely obedient and cunning ally. Unfortunately, the data from the Tacitus gave CABAL some other desires that allowed him to bend Kane's will and desires....

FWIW, there were 5 eventual factions planned when we were talking about C&C3 it back at WW: GDI, Nod, Scrin (first release), Forgotten (expansion 1), CABAL (expansion 2).

QUOTE
Don't forget that in Firestorm Nod stole an EVA module from GDI once CABAL went rogue on them, so the idea of them having a more malevolent EVA for Nod actually fits the fiction.

well taking all that in i have a good direction for my story to go that should lead up to the scrin invasion very nicely, so if you guys want to wait to write of the campaign story until my story is finished and go from there it would be nice.
