Tiberian Sun: Rise of Omnius Options

[Machine]

The history of this mod starts about 20-25 years after the events of Firestorm.

History:

The Brotherhood started to wander once again in the fate of destiny, after Slavick's assassination. Leaderless, Nod is in disarray fighting with itself in the barren world that was once called Earth, waiting for a new messiah, or to perish in the tiberian desserts of Earth. Their faith on tiberian divination is falling someone, or something must do something about it, or there will be no more Brotherhood between men.

GDI left most parts of the world leaving them to Nod, as the Tacitus, though incredible in power, proved to not be enough to save the planet, not at least with the small resources left. The device, however, was used with a better purpose, the evacuation of most of the planet's population under their influence, to gigantic orbital stations or colonies in the neighbor planets. Starting a new life in space, though watching over their home planet, hoping that one day, humanity could return and live in prosperity like in a time that only "books" have known.

The world was left in a relative calm by many years, until the storm was about to begin, once again...

Technological Descriptions:

The Brotherhood of Nod:

Cyborgs: Banned after the betrayal of Cabal, they are again at the Brotherhood's disposal; but not like they were before, now they are strictly used in wounded troops which their only hope for survival is to become part machine, so they can fight for Unity, Peace and Brotherhood once again. They're no more computer controlled, now the mind is always over the machine.

Tiberium as a healing factor: Developed after several years of study in mutants, Nod has developed pain suppressors based on tiberium, allowing them to make the most horrendous medical procedures on battlefield. How it works, is something that the GDI doesn't know, but is speculated by it's scientists that tiberium could simply destroy user's pain receptors, permanently damaging their brain and sensitive abilities.

Escape to the Underground: In a world too contaminated to live, Nod has constructed completely underground cities, were they believe that they are safe from tiberium harnessing effects.

The Global Defense Initiative:

Spacial Colonies: The last refuge to the civilized world, as GDI calls them, developed to flee from tiberium, and as a platform for global surveillance, and to research for a last hope. These huge stations have the size of an entire city, sometimes even cities, they have artificial gravity generator thanks to the Tacitus, which also allowed to anti-gravitational engines on aircraft.

The Tacitus: This little artifact contained the information for eradicating tiberium, but it didn't contain the information for restoring Earth, which was the most difficult task, too time consuming, and too expensive to be afforded with the small ammount of resources left on the planet. Also tiberium has been growing way faster in the latter years, but it's less concentrated in resources. Finally with the use of the tacitus technology, GDI was able to slowdown the growth of tiberium.

Side Note:

Cyborg:
Their basic definition is a biological being augmented by mechanical components; the definition of biomechanoid/bioroid a robot made with biological parts; the definition of Hybrot a robot made with mechanical and biological parts, being the mechanical component primarily the computer(s) that controls it. So as you see technically TS is wrong; since clearly the cyborgs are computer controlled, being in fact no real cyborgs, instead being Hybrots or something very similar to that.

Features that are going to be implemented:
-4 Sides; sort off two branches of GDI and two for the Brotherhood.
-An interesting history that is developed in the campaign; this is a late goal for the mod.
-Voice acting/New voices for existing units.
-New Superweapons.
-Improved AI
-Other features will be added latter.

BTW: The unit list and the storyline, are already sorted. I just didn't want to give away too many things yet.
We2ll enough of this; here you have some previews, of the work already done so far.


Here you see various things already in game; I'll make use of almost every public resource made by me in this mod.; Here you also see a placeholder of the Starport building (say good bye to warfactories), the new cameo style, a modified sensor array LKO's behemoth, and the Titan Mk.II unit (made by me), which is able to deploy. As you can see there are Chriz's hover MLRS (modified) and Amphibious APC (though I modified it and now it's a hover APC)

[Creagor]

Now this is what I've been waiting for! The units that are publicly availabe I know are superb, so I can guess that any new ones coming will also be of awesome quality. You seem to have thought out your mod well, I look forward to seeing the story you have thought out. I gather you are ignoring the events of Tiberium Wars then :biggrin: . Best of luck to you, I lookforward to seeing this compleated sometime in the future.

[Team Black]

WOOT
This looks like the makings of an excellent mod, I'd very much to be a part of it
I can join as a voxeller (preferrably) or a mapper - I haven't posted any maps to the public yet, though I can give you previews of WIP's on msn.
I won't let you down, cap'n

The story indeed appears to be really thought-through. Only one thing though... You shouldn't forget about the cliffhanger at the end of Firestorm (the final Nod FMV).
...Or didn't you forget about it?

The Scrin are of course also en route, but they don't necessarily have to arrive at the time your mod happens in. The Scrin could also be already in our solar system for a long time just waiting 'till the time is ripe.
So if there wouldn't even be a hint of the Scrin in your mod's campaign, it wouldn't really be a problem, though it might not be a bad idea to have another crashed Scrinship in a mission (in matter of fact the only real crashed Scrinship we've seen in C&C -the one we saw in TS was built by Kane- was in TD and it looked like a small shuttle).

That heavy liftoff looks quite similar to the Orca Dropship I some concept art for. Is it based on it, or is it just a coincidence?

[Aro]

I was thinking that you and LKO should make a mod together... Mech Wars or something.

Need a mapper? I've always got room for an extra mod... As long as i'm not in charge of campaighns too...

[cdmt]

I like your mod idea. Especially since everything you've made thus far has looked great. I look forward to seeing your new designs for buildings.

[harv]

im in for sure, heres some pics of my voxels









wow thats alot pm if im in

[Corsair]

So, no Earth Evolved Harv?

[harv]

ha ha, yes there is, just you wait

[Aro]

If theres no, Earth evolved... Then that'd be an awful waste of terrain.

But a problem guys, i don't have time to make you a Campaighn... (I'm speaking to TS:EE By the way)
However, i can still make some multiplayer maps for you...
But being as you already have, Ixith, i guess you wont need me... Unless theres room for 2 multi-mappers. :smile:

(Ok, now i'm speaking to this mod) :biggrin:
This'll definatly be a mod worth downloading... I'm looking forward to it.
Oh and if i'm in for mapping, be sure to let me know.
If you want to see some of my work, click on my signiture and it should take you to: Freedom studios.
From there, there should be a pinned link called maps... Made by yours truly.
Then look thorugh that thread and thats where you will see all my recent.. And In my opinion, best work. :biggrin:

Oh and i HOPE theres navy in this mod.

[harv]

there is a tsee

[Aro]

Harv, Dude, did you read my whole post, by any chance? :biggrin:

[harv]

yes

[Aro]

I Love your little one word replies. :biggrin:

But seriously, i need to know the answer.
Do you even need me on the team being as you have, Ixith?

(Sorry for the little offtopic discussion here)

[harv]

doesnt matter atm cause terrain must be made before you can use it

[Blacksilence]

So new mod eh i'm looking forward to it.

[vOi!king ship]

Meh, ugliest mod I've ever seen. Poor concept, total lack of cool units and the graphics are horrible. Also, the mod leader smells like rotten pickels.

Just kidding. I really like what I see Machine :smile:

[Machine]

Wow, quite a big deal of posts, even if it mainly Aro and harv talking to each other .

@Bittah Commander: I haven't forget that, and in fact it's an important part of my mod /hint/ check Wikipedia for Omnius; that could give you a little clue about the storyline of the mod
There will be no links between the mod and TW's history; consider the mod as my own vision of a twisted trama
The Whale Dropship, is based in Tiberian Twilight/Continuun (I do not know for which was intended, I've seen it labeled for both) concept art.
Expect to see more designs similar to those, like Mammoth Artilleries or similar :biggrin:

@Aro: You're more than welcome to do mapping for my mod, even if they're not campaign ones.
About your work; I've already seen it, and I like it.
BTW I asked LKO, and he refused to be part of the team .
About a navy, I don't really know if it fits, but I've been thinking about one; this is the only part of the unit list that I haven't planned yet.

@cdmt: I have basic design for them ATM, I have to send them to our concept artist to work them out.
Expect at least, starports, subterranean warfactories, droppod arrival zones (I really need a name for this one) and a new HoN.

[Aro]

Right, sorry for the reply to the old topic, but for all whom are interested in this mod...

Here is the link to its Forum located on : PPM...

Thanks. :smile:

Simply, just use the ETS, when a stable version is finished, as it support multiple mods.
Ans also we're going to use the ETS, so there's a hint
