Mutant "Epic" Unit
Subject description: A possibility for a Forgotten extremely powerfull unit.
Well, i have been really, really excited with the new Forgotten units, buildings and stuff, and suddenly this idea came up my mind all the sudden, and i wish to share it with you guys...
Well, we all know that Nod has the Cyborg Commando, and GDI has the Mammoth Mark II. So, removing the Ghost Stalker a bit from the plan, i got an idea about a Mutant Powerfull Unit.
He basically, Grodom the Elder (Fiend), as the name implies, he is one the first Tiberium Fiends that appeared on Earth, and due to his age and time in battle where many people tried to kill him, he acquired many experiences in battle a become much of a powerfull enemy.
As well, Grodom size is larger then any other fiend, as well he misteriously acquired shards of the much recently discovered New Tiberium Type (Cruentus, no spoiling where it is in Campaing).
The Mutants, otherwise, showed and extreme respect for the creature, and eventually, Grodom would become the Mutant's Guardian, capable of swarming anyone that tries to kill the people who now cults him as a Blessed Creature.
So, this is it. Grodom is a Fiend with a bit of larger size and Red Tiberium on his back, he is indeed much powerfull then a regular Fiend and he can shoot down Aircrafts. You guys can as much as imput it on any mission on the Regular Campaings, or (if you guys ever plans to give Globotech one) a "Globotech versus the Infected" like mission where they must bring down the "Mutant Infestation."
And that's all i have for now, it's stupid, crazy and mostly unable to be put anywhere, but... Hope you guys at least get inspired in any sort of form.
The idea is nice, but i see a few problems.
a) TI has already blue and green fiends. So a 3rd red one wouldn't be very special
b) the Forgotten in are not a big faction (if at all), so it might be a bit strange if this small side has such a powerful "presence". Instead Globotech would be more suitable for superunit, though it wouldn't fit to the philosophy of GT (except prototypes like the disruptor).
However as a campaign only unit, such a unit would be surely possible. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection. Main Nod building SHP creator.
Well, so that's why he wouldn't be like a normal one, he even has a name given to himself, and like he is only one, a unique-of-a-kind.
And i'm not saying he is avaliable for ALL Forgotten to be used, he is the protector of certain group, as the Forgotten is not a whoooole worldwide united group. Those mutants who found and took him with them as a Guardian, only they have access to the prowness of Elder Fiend.
And i agree with ya, Globotech HAS room for a powerfull unit, but they role is not much to me impose themselves this way. QUICK_EDIT
Yet, I actually like the idea of having 'super' fiends, like a leader of a group fiends.
These would be larger then a normal fiend - maybe even a vehicle? Then again, he wouldn't be all to special, just like the elder raptors kind of - an addition, but not a unique _________________
So, yeah, I've created a new acc. 'cause no one could remember Ordosherrscher - and I didn't like that name anyway. QUICK_EDIT

Exactly the point i was going to talk now, a "Pack Leader" can be much well nice to put, it would give a more "natural state" to the Fiends, like any real anymal groups, there must be one Leader... QUICK_EDIT

It can be done easily, but it doesn't need a new unit altogether. The current Red Tiberium Fiend could be edited via a maps custom INI to have special stats, place one among a herd of blue and green fiends and you have a special pack-leader. _________________
Ok, since the Fiend Idea was modified, then i got a new idea, this one less "Wild"
The unit is actually a man called Vexgrim, a 7 ft. tall Mutant man known for his strength and endurance, he can take a crapload of damage compared to regular mutants due his size and muscular density and this same factor allows him to bear a Obelisk Type Laser Cannon, which he stole himself from an deactivated TW1 Nod Obelisk and customized it in a way he could carry it in his shoulders.
Vexgrim is normally a nomad that travells through the very splitted Mutant Colonys and helps out anyway he can, he can be big and mean but he's ready to take on anyone who dares threatning his fellow Forgotten comrades.
Yes he can be compared to the Mutant Maraude in Tiberium Wars, but again, he is like the Cyborg Commando version for the Forgotten. QUICK_EDIT
Instead of the Obelisk type gun, why not a gun he recovered from a downed Nod Hornet, modified to be stronger or rapid fire like the Laser Chain gun from renegade. _________________ Total Annihilation is the only battle strategy.
