The History and Evolution of Tiberium

Recommended Posts

CNC Gamer have posted an article called The History and Evolution of Tiberium, it takes a look at the history of Tiberium and discusses how it has evolved from its first discovery, to what we see in Command & Conquer 3. Here is a sample.

 

During the early 1990’s the planet Earth experienced a small minor meteor shower that struck in Italy near the Tiber River. Though little could prepare us for what the meteorites had brought with them.

 

A few months after the incident the local residents reported a strange plague outbreak and the bizarre appearance of green crystals at the impact area. Thus an expert research team was assembled and sent in to Italy to investigate and report on their findings. Not long after the investigation began the lead research scientist, a brilliant man named Dr. Ignatio Mobius discovered the crystal and christened it with the name Tiberium – After the Tiber River where it was first found.

Though the infamous leader of the Brotherhood of Nod – Kane, would later claim that he was the one who in fact discovered the alien crystal, and also claimed to have named it after an ancient Roman emperor – Emperor Tiberius.

I liked this too.

 

It was good to be reminded that although the dispersion of the tiberium may have been through organic pods and trees, tiberium itself was a crystal...
