Attempting to Fulfill the Plan: GDI Edition

Reader mode
Very glad that we boosted all our consumables and vastly improved our logistics this turn.
NOD may very well be celebrating the 10th anniversery of the end of the Third Tiberium War by starting the Fourth Tiberium War.

@Ithillid Would picking this option remove our nuclear stockpiles from the reach of NOD, or do we not currently have a nuclear stockpile? I'm not quite sure.

One of the very first promises GDI made as an organization is that it would not use nukes. Despite this they still keep around a stockpile of nuclear weapons. Just in case.

That action would take all those weapons and move them off Earth and into space.

As for Karachi, the sooner we can actually get GDI spooled up and on the offensive the better off we're going to be, given we've been twiddling our thumbs waiting for the conflict to escalate and that warlord's screw up- hopefully we can start launching major offensives sooner or later.

Launching our own offensive before NOD can launch theirs is definitely what I want to do next turn. But I think the strategic situation is going to call for planetary offensives via Yellow Zone Harvesting to sally out and fuck up NOD's staging grounds on our borders everywhere, rather than a deep penetration invasion of India. Karachi most definitely will inconvenience the Indians hardest, but it doesn't do anything to directly mess with Stahl or Krukov or Gideon's offensives and allowing them to launch their attacks unmolested might not be worth it.

Not immediately, I know, but I figure the war won't be a one quarter thing. Just wanted to make sure people saw the option.

Oh, also, the orbital military options look really good. Maybe we should just go all in on orbital supremacy? It'd certainly put a hamper on NODs plans.
 
I definitely think we should make the OSRCT a priority with any slack we can get, being able to hammer any NOD offensive, or outmaneuver any attempts to withdraw will rapidly degrade all the various Warlords' capacity to conduct offensives, and when GDI gets to start picking it's battles- it wins them.

…couldn't we combine that with the Karachi sprint to run a major offensive through India whilst blunting retaliations from the other warlords?

Also, yeah… if our nukes are sitting around on the ground more or less free for the taking, maybe we should invest in bumping them up to orbit where NOD can't currently reach.

A focus on orbital supremacy would require Low Orbit Support Satellites, which are locked behind two phases of Orbital Cleanup. However, given the apparent lack of any weapon designed to counter our orbital assets, and, even then, the prospect of rapidly deploying a large combined arms force anywhere on Earth, it will likely be worth doing.

Do we need Low Orbit Support for OSRCT? I thought it worked just fine without the Low Orbit Support options, because it's just drop troopers?

You are forgetting that Mehretu has been probing as well looking for a place to strike at with military forces not just covert ops.
 
I'll bet that it was Gideon. He tried something sneaky, but our sensors were deployed enough to give... precise warning and then he got slapped, and then our orbital assets dropped right on him, leaving his territory under GDI control and him captured.
Plus: One warlord less, clay. Minus: Treasury needs to reasset itself and start redeveloping clay.
 
The fact we didn't do a Security review of Services/our AI department does concern me somewhat, the Erewhon segment left hints that it was being infilltrated due to Attercops reason for outing himself.
 
Blue Zone Power Production no longer available.

That leaves only liquid Tib as dedicated and relatively cheap Energy project.

We are in trouble, aren't we?
