They are. Also the Soviet Equivalent for the Squid/Dolphin is the Seawolf.

How about the faction is based on the lore of time travel, they come from a universe where Einstein survived but worked for the Nazis... (snip)

 

Hmm, talking of Einstein...

I can't find the reference now, but was Einstein's body ever found?  My vague memories of the relevant MO backstory have him being lost in an accident of undefined nature/cause, and Seigfried is basically carrying on Einstein's legacy.  If my (shaky) memories are correct, they never actually confirmed him as dead, only "missing, presumed dead".

Either way, Einstein's absence has always struck me as likely being rather significant (especially given that Seigfried brings all of Einstein's RA2 tech into MO anyway so the change has no real impact on gameplay (yet)... although admittedly I can't see Einstein riding into battle on a chrono-tech outfitted hovercraft).  Captured by China/slipped off to the PF, and progenitor to the Revolt perhaps?

Inb4 Einstein is a Foehn hero unit. What, he even has a voiceover already, no need to record a new one

Einstein is dead. Roughly close or later than his Real Life Death. Having Einstein exist during the 80s would have made him over a hundred years old which just doesn't seem plausible for humans of his lifestyle,etc.

[Chrono Stormer]

...Foehn seems to have transcended human limits with their engineering, lifespan could be next. *Cybernetic Einstein runs around shooting harbinger-esque particle colliders from both hands*

[Solais]

Nah, if Einstein somewhat plays part in the story, it's probably his Project Paradox mystery, or what was it, that Siegfried tried to solve. Or maybe he got a child in this timeline, working behind the shadows on Foehn, maybe a daughter. With a very Einstein-y name like Eureka or something. Actually, Einstein having a daughter would be something like a paradox, as his first child IRL was a girl, but there's a lot of mystery surrounding her; like not even a name and she seemingly died a year after birth. There could be a whole mystery built up on that; though even if that was true, she would be quite old at the time of the events of MO (like around 80). But it's really wild speculation at this point, because there's barely any info that wasn't discussed to death already.

[XoGamer]

Foehn's origin, I think it's a some kind of corporation, what do you guys think?

Tbh PMC sounds like the best idea for Foehn since there isn't much else it could be (confirmed not Aliens etc.)

but they could also be some kind of, well, "Revolt" as in a group of people joined together to revolt against a nation.

Tons of speculation here though...

[Solais]

Well, all of the stolen tech units are done, all Foehn units done, I think release might happen soon. The soon is real.

[TimeTravel_1]

I wanted to post my thoughts on the mod before its release: 

 

1- TECH TREE

 

My guess is: 

 

Spoiler

windbelt + ore refinery = war factory,naval shipyard, nanofiber loom,cloud peircer.

nanofiberloom + cyberkernel = cloud peircer,nanocoat,knightfall protocol

cyberkernel gives us an airfield, and the nanofiber loom gives us the blast furnace, the tempest architecture and the reprocessor.

 

barracks gives us a wall,2 gates,sonic turret,a shield or defense buffer

cyberkernel gives us railgun tower,confusion tower,immobilzation trench

nanofiber loom gives us economy booster,nanofiber sync,harbinger strike,firestorm trench,blast trench,avalanche cannon,madmine

cloud peircer gives us things

something gives us the plasmerizer

blast furnace gives us blasticade

tempest architecture gives us great tempest

 

barracks gives us engineer,an octopus shaped infantry (scouting infantry),knightframe,lancer

with cyberkernel, it gives us huntress,some kind of infantry that looks similar with the brute,(kingsframe that is available after using the nanofiber sync on the knightframe)

with nanofiber loom, it gives us clairvoyant,(railguneer,deviatress only available when using the nanofiber sync),and the 3 heroes of the revolt.

 

weapons factory gives us draco ejection tank,bison battle tank,(animal name, just like the rhino) custom tank,chaos drone,teratorn

with cyberkernel, it gives us the mcv,jackal racer,and a unit

with nanofiber loom, it gives us, pteranodon,mastodon,megalodon,sweeper,irritator, and some other, including the madman tank that was shown in twitter

with all this with the shipyard, it gives us, angelshark,swordfish,warturtle,a unit similar to the teratorn but in the water, and 2 units look like the aircraft carrier and the british battleship

 

2- NEW GRAPHICS + OTHER

 

Spoiler

bloatick nest/tunnel,huge bio reactor,boris statue,the mermaid building,prince aziz palace, something cool like the huge building with the allied logo at the top of the building that can be seen in the #ControlMOre teaser trailer

 

NEW EDIT: 3- OTHER

 

guesses on the middle names of the 12 basic tanks:

-

Spoiler

bulldog/rotweller light tank it's a light tank,with flashbang.

cavalier/grizzly battle tank the main battle tank for the allies

kappa/predator hover tank the only hover basic tank, and also the lightest, am i right on the lightest?

-

rhino heavy tank is just a heavy russian tank manufactured by the faction

jaguar battle tank the battle tank of the faction, and used for the confederation, And ejects a suicide terrorist bomber sometimes

qilin heavy tank the strongest basic tank of the faction

-

lasher light tank is the main basic tank of yuri's army

mantis light/junk tank, a tank that gives a junk repair-like logic to repair it's group of mantises after its destruction

opus custom tank, the only tank that gives a double-barrel to fire twice as its normal (with 1 barrel)

-

draco ejection tank, i named it ejection because it ejects its turret after its destruction

bison nanite tank is a tank that releases nanites to repair itself

??? walker tank, a heavy tank walker for the revolt?, i dont know (i guess it's a mecha)

 

Questions: 

 

will the modded finalalert 2 map editor be available with the 3.3?

how many objects with the support powers foehn have? maybe over 99? (allies are: 94, soviets are: 94, epsilons are: 84)

will the apocaypse,radar tower,allied service depot,soviet service depot coming back?

will we would see the cyberkernel artwork in the next news bulletin?

what is the purpose of the foehn neutralizer?

"Before the next ‪#‎MentalOmega‬ is released you'll have a chance to play the 1.15 version of The Dawn of the Tiberium Age."

 

Since the mentioned version of DTA is going to be released in the end of the summer and we'll "have a chance to play it before the next MO release", it can be assumed that the new MO release isn't planned to happen until the end of the summer. Well, not really a surprise, but I saw some people thinking that the release is VERY close. 

 

I hope there'll be at least a new news update this week or the next one.

 

Maybe you are true, The release is very close (between oct30 and nov07 or 10 or 22 or 29), That means, the 3.3 version will be released without announcement? But this might be wrong too, Speeder should at least announce the official release date before its release by 1 month.

 

Spoiler

Don't even click it.

Spoiler

Are you sure?

Spoiler

I don't think so.

Spoiler

There are signs that the mod is really close than you thought, I actually found the 3 firestorm walls from the mod site, and a new spy-like infantry, and mostly are vehicles (i found the haihead basic tank, i describe it two words, not tank, with other 2 epic units that are actually the old one boidmachine and the madman that appeared in twitter that is deadly, including a very fast unit for foehn, that is like the epsilon speeder trike, foehn have a rollermine-like ball vehicle), aircrafts and water units: the gunship that brings meteors is the quetzalcoatl aircraft, I hope we be able to build  it from the weapons factory, and the unit that appeared in a certain chinese boards, the leviathan, spawns aircrafts like the aircraft carrier, And i can't show the other units (other unit like the death's hand).

 

Questions:

What is the matter with the Haiheads? they have huge mechanical units even they are more than GDIs

Will the mod actually come out in less than 2 weeks?

I wonder how you found those, since the image folders of the site have been made forbidden ever since people found out about them. I mean, you can get to the images directly, but you have to know their names.

 

But yes, it's been known that all Foehn units are done, and now all the stolen tech.

I know that /images/ is denied to access, But how did i know the names? Take a look at allied (all) barracks (barracks) .png, If you changed all to foe, will give you the foehn barracks, if sov, Will give you the soviet one, What i have done to find the quetzalcoatl preview image, I just went to mentalomega.com/images/units/foequetz.png

 

/units/ is the list of all 4 faction units image preview, /bld/ is the list of all 4 faction buildings image preview, including the neutral ones, /inf/ is the list of all 4 faction infantries image preview.

 

remember cesare di maio youtube channel? When he was selecting buildings/infantries/units/terrains/overlays/other objects to add for the map he made in the speedmapping, There were revealed foehn things in the list of objects to add, The only ones i knew were most buildings and units, and very few infantries.

They were:

Spoiler

buildings: windbelt,barracks,ore refinery,war factory/weapons factory,cloud piercer,cyberkernel,nanofiber loom,avalanche cannon (well known as the plasmerizer),repr is the reprocessor and not a repair bay,blast furnace,tempest architect (i was right at guessing its name),inhibitor,stungrid,turmoilgrid,blasttrench (for the blasticade),madmine (the mad weapon from the madman tank),nanocoat (it looks similar to the tempest architect, but i don't know its purpose).

 

Infantries: knightframe,kingsframe,lancer,railguneer,huntress,deviatress,clairvoyant,duplicant,syncronaut.

 

Units: they are very more: minermite,teratorn,draco ejection tank,bison nanite tank,cyclops heavy tank,(i guess there is no chaos drone),mcv,jackal racer,sweeper,seitaad ballista,mastodon,tarchia cannon,m.a.d.m.a.n.,ramwagon,boidmachine,raccoon,diverbee,irritator,harbinger gunship,megalodon,quetzalcoatl gunship (that throws meteors from the side 4 reveal trailer),roadrunner (the rollermine of foehn, it may be fast like the speeder trike),warturtle,swordfish,angelshark,leviathan.

 

Cameos: all except for barracks,knightframe,warturtle,syncronaut

 

I used their names after foe(***).png to view them, May be this is a sign that the release is very close than we thought (nov 29, this is what we thought), right? These are ones of i have found yesterday: , , , .

Wow. That's some serious dedication if you have found all this, I'm impressed. Reminds me of how one fella guessed the URL for 1.85 release of Rise of the Reds and got it 2 days before the official release So you're saiying these images weren't there until yesterday and have only appeared now? Maybe it's a preparation for an update? Anyway, nice to see some more news, I don't think many people will know about it so it isn't a very big leak, more like a reward for the most dedicated fans.  

I'm looking at the cameos and I must admit Nooze (or whoever else was making them) did a pretty good job! And damn, Foehn has a freaking Nuke Cannon from Generals.... 0_0

[Solais]

Yeah, this is the way I found many of the images as well, but again, you'd have to know the names for the units and buildings to deduce the the foe***.png filenames. I never realized that Cesare's video contained them, huh. Good find!

Obviously, I didn't want to share any spoilers I found during my image tries until the info was officially released.

 

I guess since the cat is out of the bag, I share one secret too:

 

Spoiler

mentalomega.com/images/inf/ remains unblocked to this day. You can find all the remaining infantry there, including the heroes, if you want to be spoiled.

Btw, just like when we found the folders the first time, I'd recommend if this leak would be condensed here in this thread for as long as possible, so other sources are not compromised with spoilers.
