It is 2047 and the stakes could not be higher. Tiberium-a self-replicating alien substance that has infected the Earth-is spreading like a radioactive ice age.

The GDI, a high-tech alliance of the world's most advanced nations, is fighting to contain Tiberium, but Kane, the megalomaniacal leader of The Brotherhood of NOD has other plans for Earth. Kane's secret society turned superpower is bent on using Tiberium to take control and transform humanity into his twisted vision of the future. All-out war rages over Tiberium and the fate of the planet rests in the balance.

Note:
'The Last Ore Chasm' is my first map for C&C 3 and coincidentally my first map using World Builder. The last RTS map I created was back in the original Red Alert days, so it's been awhile. The theme of the map is inspired by the last mission of the GDI SP scenario and is thus a Red Zone chock full of ore chasmy goodness.

As far as the gameplay goes, I directly opposed the direction that most of the official maps took. Rather than open everything up and allow for "limitless possibilities" (as the WB manual suggests) I chose to tighten everything up and create a few key chokepoints to govern gameplay. Hopefully this will quash the rabid tank rushing strat that is so prevalent.
