Only area I really see not being represented is the Caribbean Sea and various islands of Oceania. Though really Oceania isn't worth much except as naval bases.

That would be Indonesia. Did you get mixed up with the Philippines when naming zones?

Crap. I did it in Paint too, so that's hard to fix without redoing the labels entirely. Oh well, I did only spend like 5 minutes on it, so w/e. I take it that Taiwan is part of the Chinese YZ or the Philippines YZ?
Uuuuuuuuh? That's Indonesia.

YZ-16: Horn of Africa is very tempting as well. As isYZ-6: Western Australia.
Areas with the sea on on side and Tiberium on the other.
Really YZ-16 is looking like something we should develop. It's near the work we're doing on the Middle East, on a shipping lane and across from India.
I've mentioned it before but pushing Northern YZ-9: America West to the Northern coast is probably something we should look into one of these days.

Our plate is currently full with Karachi buildup, execution, and follow-through, but once that's done and we've accomplished some more of our Military plan goals sounds like a good next target.
To say nothing of all the funds and focus we are going to need to put into Enterprise, the moon mines and whatever else we decide to put up in space (likely Colombia). Not that we won't be able to do so and then some.
We also potentially have to finish the Chicago Planned City eventually.

Yeah, apparently the Ground Forces still don't have enough ammunition stockpiles. We should build up that, and missile reserves too.
I mistyped the wrong city. Sorry.
I believe building up shell plants is a prerequisite for our Karachi Sprint plan, but I'm not sure.

Or the canon problem of omnicidal mania of the controller.
I take you are not a Supernatural or a Jessica Alba fan. Tiberium Dawn is a Cyberpunk series, just in the vein of some late 90s early 00s Cyberpunk like Dark Angel. My bad for not realizing how many various pieces of US fiction have that name. I meant this one:
Ain't the default state that NOD had problems in the past.
Hey @Ithillid does this count as an omake?

"Potentially have to?"
It's definitely a thing we can agree to do, and the Developmentalists like the idea, as might a notional Global Reclamation Party.
Yeah, that's all definitely on the radar. I don't think anyone's forgotten the desire to build up the consumables/ammunition/ablatives/missile/??? factories, it's just that we have a wobbly balance between doing that and doing the deployment projects, further complicated by the desire to give Krukov a good swift kick in the balls with the Aurora bomber program.
I dunno. I'd say Tiberian Sun is pretty Cyberpunk.
"Potentially have to?"
It's definitely a thing we can agree to do, and the Developmentalists like the idea, as might a notional Global Reclamation Party.
We also need to do the development for the plasma weapons, railgun munitions, tactical ion cannons, and the new mastodons plus the mastodons' deployment. We just have so much to do.😖

Which ones specifically look like that? Aside from all the islands, Hawaii especially.
EDIT: Is it Eastern Australia that you're thinking of?

Horn of Africa to begin with. Later stages involve more land but atm? It's surrounded on three sides by water. It'd make a good naval station as nothing else and open another front on Africa for abatement.

I think we'd need to bulk up the navy more before we can safely create a green zone that has no land border to a blue zone.
Edit: Actually, that's basically what the Karachi Planned City is, isn't it? Both are about the same distance from the Gulf States BZ, both would require heavy military and infrastructure support to capture/build the port facilities to supply the area...
But Karachi gives that needed line of connection to the Himalayan BZ, plus is an actual staging point for adventures into India, or mining operations in the Iranian RZ.

To be fair, isn't the only significant warlord in the region Mehretu, who isn't really well-known for his navy? And the Arabian Blue Zone is right there.
Although to be fair, India is uncomfortably close to the Horn of Africa, so we would definitely wanna hit that to see what comes out before actually trying to make a Green Zone there.

Development projects are easy to fit in, and none of those have to be done literally next turn. We're talking about a time horizon of 2059Q3 and Q4, thinking about impending war. The only one of those likely to be a good fit for "do this right before a war" is railgun munitions.
I think it's actually Yellow Zone Harvesting action that involves claiming more territory. fortress towns are what we do to hold more territory.
True, but if we leave them alone for too long we may not get them done in time for the plan. It may only take one, two, maybe three if we are unlucky, dice to do the development but that still means time needs to be spent on them.

The thing is, development projects generally take one die, maybe two.
We're not idiots, we're not going to completely ignore these things clear up until 2061Q4. It's just that we have so many genuinely urgent priorities required to strengthen the military (including things like shell plants and OSRCT that we also promised as plan commitments) that something we can easily knock off in 1-2 dice at any time we wish is not worth doing immediately unless we expect immediate payoff.
