Remember, you don't need an account on ModDB to vote and you can vote for more than one mod, so be sure to spare a vote for our affiliates, Dawn of the Tiberium Age and Mental Omega too! QUICK_EDIT
Offtopic, but I find it amusing, is that the Tiberium universe was used to be set in the future, but it is very quickly becoming an alternate history as time catches up.
Look at TI now - 2019 is pretty close. _________________ Tales of War QUICK_EDIT
2019 was the old date, the main story now takes place in late 2030s. This was done in order to make the advances in technology and Tiberian evolution more believable. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
I don't know. If the Tiberium Meteorites crashed into the earth in the early 2000s and a war would have taken place, technology would have taken a way different route from the start.
A lot of the things in TI already exist (particle beam weapons and stuff, like the Eclipse's cannon) or could be made on a whim (the Kazuar). Cyborgs and Nod's Anti-Grav technology are the biggest question marks, but before World War II nobody believed commercial jet engines would ever be a thing either.
And yeah, RA was always an alternate history to begin with, starting with a succesful assassination of Adolf Hitler. I always saw the TS-line as an sci-fi that became an alternate history as the 2000s passed without Tiberium meteorites crashing into the earth. _________________ Tales of War QUICK_EDIT
I'm pretty sure Tiberian Dawn played in 1995, the same year it came out in reality.
The date of the first tiberium meteorite impact was also not stated in TD iirc (only the location near the river Tiber, giving it the name. Or as Kane named it after Tiberius Drusus Caesar), with people speaking about that impact quite some time in the past.
Since the events in TD are quite a while after the first occurance of tiberium and tiberium has managed to spread already around the globe, i would guess the first tiberium meteor came down something around the end of 1980 or early 1990, giving it a few years to spread around the globe. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
Nod splits from the Soviets during the early 90s, the first Tiberium War starts in 1999 and ends in 2002. It's possible that Tiberium itself arrived in 95?
I voted for the mod of the year (round one), But still not in editor's choice (round two). _________________ If you are a MetalHead (Heavy Metal Fan) and don't want to be a metalhead, Just remove your metal ball from your head. �:p .
QUICK_EDIT
I never played the first games, I never realized they were linked.
Considering, you know, RA2 and YR, it always made little sense to me either ^^ . _________________ Tales of War QUICK_EDIT
EA had RA2 developed due to the popularity of RA1. This kind of broke Westwood's continuity, so they planned to address it in their C&C3: Incursion (well in an early draft at least).
Apparently WW would've revealed that Yuri was a result of Nod's trans-human experiments and an acolyte of Kane. At some point he was involved in a battle with GDI, who were attempting to retrieve something called a Screaming Eagle suit from the vaults of Area 51, but they unwittingly activated the last functional Chronosphere (RA1 design) during the battle. As a result Yuri was thrown back in time, creating the offshoot RA2 time-line. _________________
