Well, hello, this is my first post. I've always loved C&C, though I haven't played Wars or Generals yets, but I have a story idea based loosely on the Into of Tiberium Wars and I wanted to run it by people who might actually read it:
Here's the story I want to do:
As you can see from the intro, most of the US is Yellow Zone, so GDI doesn't protect it. However, what if, as was the case in Tiberium Dawn, that the United States Armed Foreces still exist and THEY try to protect US yellow zones from Nod and general chaos? Obviously the US forces would be a sideshow compared to the GDI. Probably as well or better trained, but not as well equiped, and they don't have to be because mostly they do policing work.
Story idea is this:
A general in a the fiction Fort Wainewright out outside Cincinnati OH, is briefing new troops. Many of them are from the Blue Zone, and have no real loyalty to the idea of the United States; they are GDI washouts. Others are local boys, with Shiners intermingled among them. The general himself is a mutant, but refuses to accept non-human status. He also points out that General Solomon (the hero of Tiberian Dawn and the CiC of GDI in Tiberian Sun) has no use for Shiners, making the said general, in HIS (not mine) words, "a nigger's nigger," which burns him up. He's not really anti-black, more of a crank, but he distrusts non-American refugees. He hates GDI for usurping US soviegnty and de facto abdononing the Yellow Zones, but he LOATHES Nod, seeing them as anti-US, anti-Christian and anti-Human.
The first mission is a "Scratch and Burn," an anti-Tiberium cleanup that requires fighting Tiberium lifeforms and not dying of Tiberium exposure. The target a glacial patch around Harveysville. This is to reopen I-71 between Cincinnati and Columbus, both of which are still heavily populated and even have refugees from red zones too poor to live in the GDI paradice Blue Zones. It's nasty, brutal, and needed work. Excpet skirmishes with Nodies and conflicts of persoanlity between Shiners and humans, Blue Zone versus Yellow Zone, even though they are all technically American citizens.
A caveat: this is slightly AU in the zone designations:
Blue Zones: Areas COMPLETELY without Tiberium, except for designated Tiberium farms.
Yellow Zones: Areas with moderate Tiberium infestation. Some look like Tiberiun Sun, but most look like the world of C&C Tiberium Dawn: still green, still full of life, but with Tiberium life forms comepteing and slowly winning against the Earth life. Ohio in 2046 is as green as it ever was, and the General aims to keep it that way. Actually, the Ohio River basin itself qualifies as Blue Zone on environment, thanks to US efforts, but GDI will not defend those areas "yet."
Red Zones: Exactly the same as in Tiberium Wars except that there are no large Red zones in Europe. Instead, Tiberium has claimed almost all the Sahara.
Does this sound like a winning idea?
