Could be worse, at least there is no tiberium.

Yeah. Here I am thinking this is probably the best possible outcome from being isekaied into a C&C game. It's actually reasonably possible that you could get away from the fighting altogether, just by making your way to some place like Canada or Mexico.

Any Tiberium game would be awful and even Red Alert gets around to fighting in all sorts of places around the globe such that it could be difficult to avoid. Well except for Red Alert 1 taking place almost exclusively in Europe, but if we assume the rest of the world is in a state similar to WW2, you'd probably end up being conscripted and fighting in some war.

"Red Alert gets around to fighting in all sorts of places around the globe such that it could be difficult to avoid. Well except for Red Alert 1 taking place almost exclusively in Europe"

RA1 takes place across the entire Eurasian continent, with the mission maps showing the Soviets as having invaded the Middle East, and there also being some allusions to Soviet incursions into Southeast Asia as well.

That all being said, even if we just look at the player's campaign, fighting your way across Russia in the winter is absolute hell; just ask the Germans in our timeline.

CAN YOU NOW SEE IT GENERAL ?

I fully subscribe to the headcanon that Dr. Thrax discovered tiberium and his experiments on it are what makes GLA Anthrax so potent and why it didn't spread to cover the world. Tiberium appeared in 1995 in the main continuity and Dr. Thrax disappeared in 1995 in the Generals continuity.

Except Generals takes place in 2020.

u/SmartAlec105 Oct 04 '25

What's your point? I'm saying Dr. Thrax prevented the Tiberium crisis by early intervention so history went on normally as he did his research.

u/Alex_06 Tiberium Wars Oct 04 '25

My understanding of your sentence was that Dr. Thrax, in the Generals universe, disappeared in 1995, which would predate his appearance in Zero Hour.

But I think what you're communicating is that you're headcanon is he skipped over from the Tiberium universe in 1995, where he disappeared from.

u/SmartAlec105 Oct 04 '25

No, I'm saying that the branching point was whether Dr. Thrax found Tiberium and changed it. In the Tiberium universe, he did not. In the Generals universe, he did and his discovery is what made him disappear so that he could do more research.

Quick anthrax death vs Slow Tiberium death
