This was very enjoyable. I particularly enjoyed your discussion of potential super units and why it would be so important to have Kane win in someway shape or form in a real fourth and final game. I do have a question though, and your hypothetical fourth command and conquer game, what does Cabal want? For the other factions it’s pretty easy to understand the motivations, but in the face of the Visitor invasion what is Cabal interested in accomplishing? One thing that I think might potentially be interesting is perhaps developing Cabal along the lines of David in the film “Prometheus.” If you have not seen that film, it’s actually an interesting (though rather flawed) look at the human quest for answers to our existence. What makes me think of Cabal is that in “Prometheus” the android David is thoroughly unimpressed with his human creators and hopes that the alien race that created humans is more interesting and more noble but it turns out that that alien race is no more a satisfactory answer for David than they are for humans I.e. existence is fundamentally random and whatever meaning there is is meaning we create, rather than given to us by creators. I think it might be interesting perhaps to have Cabal intrigued by and hopeful about the Visitors and then come to hate them just as much as he hates humans (assuming he still does).

I recently did a podcast with fellow C&C YTer Actaeon, who has also previously done a few videos of his own on the subject of rewriting C&C4. This was a fun conversation we had, hope you enjoy it!
