"But Kane doesn't die a lot," laughs Bass. Guess what? In the aftermath of the Temple Prime explosion, everyone assumes Kane's dead. The results, building on the success of Battle for Middle-Earth II, were a success. The GDI repels the Scrin and destroys all but one of the towers - only one has been completed - but it's dormant and it doesn't appear to be doing anything." The controls had to go through some real rethinking for the third game. They invade the Earth and build portal towers. The Scrin think, 'Oh crap,' essentially, but their job is to get the Tiberium, so they're sent in. Their assumption is they would either find cavemen or that everyone would be dead, but they instead find two heavily armoured militaristic factions who, with the Tacitus and Tiberium, have become a fairly advanced race. That in turn alerts the Scrin, in dormant form in a mining fleet outside of Pluto, waiting for Earth to turn into a green harvestable ball. "The GDI launch an ion cannon attack on Nod Temple Prime in Sarajevo, not realising Kane's constructed a liquid Tiberium device inside, which creates an enormous explosion. "They're not trying to conquer GDI but to lure them into attacking," says Bass. Kane's attack destroys the Philadelphia, the space station that played a crucial part in Tiberian Sun. And the yellow zones are being encroached upon by red zones: uninhabitable Tiberium areas, which are effectively an alien environment."
They've effectively made a terrorist nation state: they bring food and medicine but they also use the yellow zones for recruiting. We'd taken the stratified society of Tiberian Dawn and Tiberian Sun further, and the world is literally divided into zones - blue zones, which are utopian futuristic GDI areas where the rich and happy live, and yellow zones, post-apocalyptic areas where the downtrodden live. "15 years after Firestorm, Kane leads a Nod invasion of the Eastern Seaboard," says Bass. It all kicks off with the return of Kane.
There was fan fiction and internet theories - some of which were awesome - and we wanted to make them real." "The main thing we wanted to do was introduce the Scrin properly. "With Tiberium Wars, we were bringing the series back nine years after the last one, but we wanted to pick up the story where it left off," says Bass.
Once again, it's wrong, but players would have to wait the best part of a decade to find out why. Once again, by the end of Tiberian Sun, the GDI believes it's killed Kane off. Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars (2007)
