Earth (CnC) (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=390510)
If you were intersted, well, now it's open!

I know that there are tons of Earths out there, But I was wondering if anybody would be interested in an Earth based on one of the Command and Conquer worlds of either the Tiberium Universe, the other, Red alert, and finally the Generals version. I know that RA was supposed to lead into Tiberium, but ever since RA2 came out, they've kinda been seperated...

The idea would be something like this.
--First, if people seem to like the idea, then a version of CnC to go with, (RA, Gens, and Tib) would be established as either a new Earth, or just another RP to join in. (If there's to be a new Earth, then it'll be called Earth CnC or something...)
Then people can choose a side to go with.
-RA would include the Various Allied Nations, and the Various Soviet ones.
-The Tiberium version would start out just when the Asteroid lands, and first contaminates Earth with Tiberium.
-The Generals version would include the three factions, (China, USA, and the GLA.) Other nations that join can choose which side to support.
--Once the factions and supporting nations have been established, it could either flow with the established story line, or flow with a new one. For example,

If it seems people would rather go with the Established story line, (for example, the Soviets lose like their supposed to, Kane keeps coming back, the GLA triumph rather than get plowed by the Chinese), then this'll just end up being an RPed version of the CnC gameplay.

If people would rather RP a new story, (For example, Kane dies, and NEVER comes back, or, the Soviets and the Allies end up forming a truce, and Yuri doesn't go rouge.), then I'll set up a new Earth, and people can RP their own way.

Either way, nations would choose a faction, or a nation, and back up a faction of their choice. (Unless of course, if a RA version of Earth is set up, and somebody chooses Britain, then by default, they will have to support the Allied side.)

I'm sorry, if I didn't explain too clearly, there's still a lot in the air right now, and I won't really have anything concrete until I get some feed back

Alright, so the questions I'm asking are
1) Would you join if something like this were set up?
2) Do you think that this be just an RP senario, or should I create another Earth to give joining nations some more freedom with where they want to take their nation in this CnC based Earth.
3) If this were to be created, what version of CnC would you rather join?

This will obviously requires quite a bit of knowledge on what CnC is, no matter what way it goes, and this is part of the reason why I'm posting this.

Poll linky:
Poll of which version of CnC to establish. (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=389883)

EDIT: the following has been decided.
-An original Earth will be created, the main problems will be carried over to get things started.
-In Generals, we'll start out where the GLA have launched their missile at the US, but it gets shot down, and they begin their campaign against the GLA, like in the story. But that's where the similarities will end. From there, whoever, chose the US can decide what action they take.
-For the RA universe, Things'll begin when the Soviets first start to invade.
-In the Tiberium version, things will start after the asteroid lands, and the planet is first infected by Tiberium.

tag; very interesting idea.

Tib was the best tho'.
A Tiberian universe would rule :D

Very interesting... I would be interested in joining this. I think creating another Earth would be best, preferably RA, but any CnC would be splendid.

Nice idea. I did create Earth Tommarow, a little bit of some Generals added into the land plots and world powers. You lot should check it out, it should still be on the first page.

Thanks. The idea has been sitting in my head for some time, but I just never got around to getting it all down.

Nice to know other CnC fans out there. :)

Edit: @Truitt. Hmmm, thanks, I'll take a look.

lol, Generals pwns all, even I still like to play RA2 Yuris occasionally.

Like the idea, but I say we do generals (zero: hour) but RA work too (not to much knowledge of Tib) just don't have uber prism tanks :mp5: (die uber tanks!)

lol, Generals pwns all, even I still like to play RA2 Yuris occasionally.

Oh, there are quite a few hardcore fans out there that would probably argue with you to the death about that...

But, I agree with you. I still find myself going into RA2:YR myself.

Argh, I should've made a poll...

Actually, I might have to make two seperate polls. One for whether or not one will join, and another for which version of CnC to make...

Generals wasn't real C&C
Tib series is original and best, but RA has its merits (Many a multiplayer game of Ra2 at High School convinced me of that ;) )
I loved Tib tho'; wars among the overall horror of a planet being devoured by this thing....terraforming for some insidious purpose.

New poll to be posted, asking what version of CnC should be established.

Strange, for some reason, I can't make a poll...

well, I say make an RA2 Yuri's one, that would be interesting.

Aye, I think the three factions make for better "earth" than just two.

To get around that, you can select another nation, and then decide which main faction to support. So for example, if some one has taken the US in an RA version, you can select Britain or some other nation, and back the US up.

Well, except Yuri has no faction....and that countries like Australia were not on there, so they will have to choose.

Well, except Yuri has no faction....and that countries like Australia were not on there, so they will have to choose.

If one chooses a nation like Australia that was not listed under Allied, or Soviet nations, you have the choice of which main side to support. Is that what you mean?

Bump.

Hell I'm all for this! Tib Sun all the way!

Bump!

But for Generals, where would start? At the beginning, at the end of the first one (USA whoops GLA) or at the end of Zero Hour (China becomes leading world power)? As a side note, I hated the ending of Zero Hour. Every country in the world lining up on the side of a Communist dictatorship, and the US, a free democracy becoming a second rate power? C'mon, that's as if the Soviets won in RA...

I've decided that the game's ending can be ignored. Makes everything far too rigid, and takes a lot of the fun out of it.

An original Earth will be created, the main problems will be carried over to get things started.

In Generals, we'll start out where the GLA have launched their missile at the US, but it gets shot down, and they begin their campaign against the GLA, like in the story. But that's where the similarities will end. From there, whoever, chose the US can decide what action they take.

For the RA universe, Things'll begin when the Soviets first start to invade.

In the Tiberium version, things will start after the asteroid lands, and the planet is first infected by Tiberium.

whoot! First Tiberium War!

Bump!

Can we "get our claim on" now or should we wait?

Can we "get our claim on" now or should we wait?

The poll ends in a day. Seems like Tiberium will win. I'll still have to type up rules, list of available claims, and find a map. So it'll be little while before the claiming can begin.

Bump for interest.

So, it's where the GLA campaign ends, except with a twist? Ah, and if we're doing Tiberium, does anyone know if I could possibly download the game? I'd really be interested in the RP, but I've never played it, and you can't buy it anymore. If so, TG me please. And I'd like to be the USA, if at all possible.

So, it's where the GLA campaign ends, except with a twist?

The beginning of Generals, the story which was supposed to get the game started, began with a failed GLA Chem missile attack. Those three missiles that did make it in the end of the GLA campaign was a second attempt. If a generals version get's established, the first failed attack is where things will start. But it does look like Tiberium will win. Generals has only recieved three vote...

I don't know where you can get the Tiberium games, but, since this will only be loosely based on the established storylines, you won't really have to play the games to get it. I recommend just googling the basic story, and you'll be fine. About your interest in the US, which US? (the one from Tib, RA, Generals...)

Well, ideally it'd be generals, but Tiberium looks like it'll be the one to win. I originally tried Rping as an evil maniac, but the US seems to be fitting my idealist bent... I'll try to dig up the game somewhere. Maybe we could mix gameplay with RP somehow? That would be interesting and unique.

this is interesting count me in when your descide on what theme. Oh check out my mall i hope atleast i can promote it also Gammorah Mall Here (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=389900) . Hmm but if you guys do a them from red alert then i would like to be The French since i love there cannon. If generals then i would like to be china. GO NUKE ARTILIRY!

@Armandian Cheese: What parts of both are you thinking of?
@The Shadow Dogs: alright then. Thanks for the help.

Well, we could possibly engage in a battle, set it up according to the RPed situation, and then write up posts based on how it turned out. Just an idea.

Bumpeth.

I've been thinking about how to make sure many people can join, but still maintain the main factions.

What I've decided is that people will choose a nation, and then pick one side to back up. But I now also want a few nations that msut back a certain side.
For example, someone who chooses the US will automatically have to back the GDI. The problem I'm having is deciding which nations must back which faction. Any ideas?

Poor people third world for NOD, bloated richies for GDI and those poor suckers near where the meteriorite landed for Mutants.

well the french in RA was always with the allies but in generals, the china's is a tricky task... im not sure if they would be on GDI or Scorpian...hmm....

Well, the Chinese probably wouldn't ally with the GDI, but then again, being a Communist nation, they wouldn't exactly favor Kane's cult and the fact that he promotes a different way of thinking, contrary to Communist ideology. Maybe they'll be a rogue state? The US and the UK will obviously go for the GDI. Germany as well, although France may be iffy. South America will probably be split, altough Africa will most likely be Nod. Who will control Kane though? He's not limited to a country. I'd like to be the US, with Dubya as President, if the time has come to claim, by the way.

If it worked out like that I'd wana be Canada and jsut stay nutral. -stick tounge out at GDI and NOD-

I could control Kane, if you want

Are you knowledgable of him? The people who control guy's like that should be experts on the series.

I Could be Kane; after all, I've played all the games with Kane. I know his plans, his visions; I want a tiberian future! xD

Bleh bleh :confused:

hello

Let Chronosia be Kane-I've only played 2 of the Tiberium games.

Well, I think there were only two...Anyway, it's up to the guy who started this. I don't really care either way.

omfg...
Ummm, it kinda sucks to say this, but I've been looking around for a while, but I haven't found a map that lets me color it entirely in MSpaint. Everytime that I've tried to use the paint bucket, there are always the edges of the country that are a different color...

http://cncreplays.com/forum/uploads/post-84-1106088348.jpg

I'm looking for a blank political map, or at least one that I can use that doesn't have this problem...
No other Earth creator seemed to have this problem...

Bumpeth in the hopes that someone can help me with this.

I take it that I'm the only one with this sort of issue...

...I'm think that I'm asking a simple question, is there really no body that even wants to help?...

Sorry man. No idea there. You could zoom in and do it manually...Ask the other Earth creators. Ah, and where is the US on the map? And who does the Red swath represent?

Not sure how to help...

Sorry man. No idea there. You could zoom in and do it manually...Ask the other Earth creators. Ah, and where is the US on the map? And who does the Red swath represent?

You see, I was trying to color China in the Asia map (I intend to have a world, Asia, Americas, Africa, and Europe map ) all in one go using the paint bucket, but as you may or may not know, the bucket feature only colors in one color, and for whatever reason, in the Bitmap format that I saved in, (I guess it's part of the data loss in saving a smaller file), the ares the where close to the black lines were colored various shades of grey, and it simply be painstaking to go in, and erase, recolor, and generally eliminate these random grey blotches. This is why that red swath does not cover the whole interior of China, as I intended. Instead, there is that grey pixilated ouline around the edges, that I can't seem to get rid of.

Weird. That usually only happens when you save it in JPEG format. Try a new map again, and check to make sure it's a Bitmap.

Thanks, I've tried, it, but I the same thing still happens. I'm lost.

I'm just about to post the main thread, but there's one last thing that I'd like to ask for opinions on. As this is going to be loosely RA based, you know that RA2 nations had their own little special unit or power. I'm thinking about setting it up so everyone has those techs. Just wanted to know from possible joiners is they think that this is a good idea or not, and why.

i like it since the french get grand cannon oh plz let me be french if it is RA

If you claim it I'm sure you can have it, but its gonna be toned down, so it will not be the end all cannon (ever try to break france when they have AA and cannons like 1/3 screen thick?)
