It is the year 2030, the Earth's natural resources and minerals are depleting, the effects of Global Warming are becoming evident. Global Economies are beginning to collapse due to the lack of trade, resources and global hostilities. As wars between nations continue we only continue to destroy the Earth. Coal and Oil fuel the War efforts, they are constantly depleting. Already nations wage war to obtain these vital resources.

The United Nations, a once influential organisation that had lost all of its power, originally founded to prevent conflicts between the human race, it had failed to achieve its original goal, and now all that remained of it was the name..... Many countries started to pull out of the United Nations, and then it just disbanded.

The Russian Federation faced another bloody revolution, a communist party successfully seized control of the government, through the use of propaganda and then by staging coup d'état. Many of Russia's generals and military forces turned on their government, believing that they would be forging a new age for Russia, those who resisted were killed. Thousands of lives were lost, even though this significantly reduced the military might of Russia, they would have to re-stabilize their economy and military soon, otherwise they might face an invasion.

The United States of America, once known as the world's most powerful and proud nation, has now been forced to reduce its military might due to the lack of resources it requires to maintain it. The country was forced to look into 'investing' in new allies and soon they found one, Japan, whose economy was still very strong, although in the aftermath of WWII its use of its military but now that could all change. With Japan's money and the USA's military they could once again be a force to be reckoned with and so the Pacific Alliance was formed.

The European Union, made up of the majority of countries in Europe, has become even more influential, many more countries have joined this Union. Soon the boundaries between countries were gone. From then on Europe would be a single nation, the European Union, which would be led by a group of senators. To expand its land the European Union then preceded to annex the countries on the continent of Africa. Without any or little opposition they joined the European Union, forming the EurAfrica Pact. They then saw to the annexation of Canada, a country originally formed by the European Settlements. Now with Canada in their control they could now keep the Pacific Alliance In 'check'.

China was now suffering from the impacts of overpopulation, the country has now running out of room, so they needed to find a solution in this 'problem'. Of course they immediately looked at the new Russian Republic which had land which was uninhabited in many parts of the country. After the revolution it was short of thousands of soldiers. Soon a union was formed, Red Asia Nations a new nation to be feared. in an act to show its newfound power they began to conquer the rest of mainland Asia.

South America a continent filled which rich fertile land, it's land would be a vital asset in the years to come. To protect it and to ensure their own survival the nations of South America signed a treaty to form the South American Union.

Now a new faction would enter the stage, a Private Military Corporation known as Universal Defence and Security. They established themselves in the Oceania region occupying Australia and New Zealand through brute force; it is unknown how they gained enough military might to do this. They then annexed the surrounding island countries, such as the Philippines, Papua New Guinea and Indonesia. They also seemed to have amassed a large amount of funds to produce weaponry and fund research for advanced technology.

As these superpowers began to build up their forces, tension began to grow between them, war would soon be inevitable. The UDS had successfully engineered a new source of power known as the Arc Reactor, a very promising and yet experimental power source. Red Asia Nations spies within the UDS then attempted to steal the plans but they were unsuccessful in their attempts and executed on sight. The UDS demanded answers from Red Asia Nations, but they only responded with moving an invasion force into UDS territory, their excuse was killing the spies was an act or war. The UDS immediately retaliated with full force.

As Red Asia Nations and the UDS fought. The Pacific Alliance moved its focus to the Polar Regions, where they would try and attempt to take the oil and coal. This would not go unnoticed by the EAP who had already had a presence in that region, and threatened the PA to move otherwise they would open fire, but of course the PA were looking for a fight now that they had their forces at full strength again. Then the war began between the two. PA began to 'liberate' Canada from the EAP, which had been under the control of its 'motherland' for some time now but the EAP had already seen this coming beforehand, one of the PA's most prestigious generals was secretly loyal to the EAP and rebelled against the PA using prototype stealth technology but even with the combined forces of the EAP forces there the PA crushed the EAP turned to a more southern continent....

The SAU remained neutral between this conflict at first until they noticed that the PA was moving their forces into their territory for no apparent reason and when they sent fighters out to see what was happening, they were shot down. They saw this as a clear act or war if the PA wanted to fight a war the SAU would give them one.

The war has started; each faction would stand alone although some factions still remain neutral to each other that would all change soon.

So this is first update with storyline of the Global Uprising. As you can read in description you could expect 5 new factions. U.D.S., newcomers from nowhere. Red Asian Nations, endless masses with chemical and nuclear weapons. Pacific Alliance, abicious and ruthless technologists. EurAfrican Pact, xenophobic specialists in blitz and trench warfare. And South American Union, neutral armies of soldiers and merceneries from Amazon.

But for the start every mod presents some of their work, and GU will not be exception. So lets take a look on them, shall we?

UDS Guardia Tank

Full Name: Guardia Tank
Role: Main Battle Tank
Description: Since the U.D.S. for the first time appeared, their skilled infantry divisions were supported by these wide tanks. Officers from other nations are saying tanks with design like this cant be much effective, but the opposite is truth. Guardia is very efficient on the battlefield with its proportions giving them a option to easily drive across the rocks, and its massive 134mm gun giving them a ability to precisely hit and destroy the target within range of six kilometers, when favourable conditions occur.

RAN Salamander Tank

Full Name: T-142 "Salamander"
Role: Main Battle Tank
Description: Collective work of the Russian and Chinese engineers, T-142 Salamander is armoured workhorse of the Red Asian Nations. Easy to manufacture and maintain, Salamander is mass produced and with its 115mm gun everyone, who will dare to stand against it, will dont live long to tell. Rumors are spread that Salamanders have been seen with nuclear reactors, but this havent been confirmed, as there are no survivors.

PA Golem Tank


Full Name: M7A1 Golem Tank
Role: Main Battle Tank
Description: Nations of the PA seen in their neighbours' tanks a serious threat, and ordered to make the main battle tank, which will easily overpower other tanks in the world. After failure of M6A1 Gritton, new tank was created. M7A1 Golem. Its boxy design and corrosive-piercing ATGM weaponry makes it the best competitor to other tanks. Golem can mount various upgrades to make it even more efficient, from machine guns to nanite generators.

So these were the main battle tanks of the first three factions, which will be included in 1st release. I hope you liked them and also entire team hopes you will be watching us. smile.gif

Well, I'm wishing you the best of luck with this new project of yours, even though I'm not particularly fond of the story as it seems kind of generic. Not trying to sound harsh, but it's basically the standard future plot where the new Russia goes back to full blown Stalinism, the hundreds of nations of our world get forged together into a handful of huge, space filling empires with no regard for the massive political/social/cultural consequences and to top it all off, there's also a big PMC. The models look all right, although I suggest using finished, fully textured models for media updates in the future. WIP models with no skins just don't spark people's interest as much.
Gen.Kenobi
The pursuit for survival, made everyone try to join forces, what killed all borders and cultural differences.

It's meant to be a very interesting mod...with a lot of interesting factions/ways of play Generals in a way that you never seen before...

Is U.D.S really a PMC? Is SAU so neutral? This you're going to find out.

The "history" that you saw here is just a plot.

Keep tracking us biggrin.gif

Watch us over Moddb!

Sounds a lot like vZH to me tongue.gif
Is the US really a force for peacekeeping? Are the GLA really the bad guys in all this? You decide :3
Gen.Kenobi
Hehehehehe. It won't...
this mod won't be a mod that will look like v.GensZh It'll be completely different. You'll be surprised as i am.
this mod won't be a mod like anyother mod that you played before.
this mod won't be a mod that you play just skirmish...

smile.gif We do plan to include a full history that will answer all your questions. And we'll not give it up wink.gif
Pickysaurus
Sounds interesting, however alot of mods promise those things and never deliver...
Curiously, how many mods are you currently working on? Because you can't possibly intend to finish all of them?
Gen.Kenobi
If you haven't seen, all the projects that i have active participation are going well now.
Jester
i do not agree with yet ANOTHER mod AFAIK none of the grans studio productions have been released yet and have been in production for some time i mean project evans was chugging along fine until another mod came along that youre working on and has only had 1 media update since. but if you can handle all the mods and productions then be my guest im anxious as to what this will turn out like good luck.
Shock
Unless you get skins on those models I won't give this a good chance. That is for the lone fact skinners are the hardest thing to get in modding and without one you're pretty much a dead fish in the water.

It's not a GRANS Productions Mod. And this project has been in heavily development for much more time.

@Shock: Thanks for the "encourageament"... We appreciate it. [/sarcasm]
Shock
You know I'm right. I hate to see efforts put in another mod if you don't have a fully completed team at it already. I would also rather 'encourage' you to focus on one to two projects, not more. Also what exactly do you mean by heavy development, if you haven't yet got a textured unit, just a plain model. I have seen way too much mods like this that never made it because they had no skinners and thus motivation and development ceased fairly quickly.

Why don't you learn to skin yourself? You can make models allright so why not take the next step. I'm sure you would develop your mods much faster if you took some time to learn texturing your models.
ComeOn
Uhh... I don't have much confidence on this mod.
Especially that you are working Forgotten Fury and Project Evan at the same time. >.<

IonCharge
I'm afraid that i have to agree with a majority of the other posts. I cannot see this being too successful, i think you should concentrate on getting another of your several mods completed instead of running several at the same time.
Shock
Not to mention (and not to bash) you know that the concept of this mod has been over and over and overdone so many times I really wonder how you would be able to keep yourself interested as well as the public.

To be fair, ROTR does kinda follow the same basic storyline.

ROTR was among the first to do this, and to date, the best also.

I'm not disputing that - ROTR is my favourite mod... I just wish for an update soon tongue.gif

I mainly meant throwing most influental countries in unrealistic alliances (I have heard Eurasia so many times) and make them (3 factions usually all having a three digit name) fight eachother. Its almost a template.

ROTR is more of a very thorough expansion pack, rather than a total conversion like this.

This doesn't mean those mods are bad, some of them (cue European Conflict) have proven to be very promising, but I wouldn't advise to start a new Mod on that very same template again.

Forgotten Fury is made by us, No Life Studios, and no it's not dead

Progress is just slow, we need skinners blah blah you know the drill...

Come on Zeke, you can't take too much credit tongue.gif
Forgotten Fury is almost extensively a one man project by Pirate tongue.gif

I agree with Shock on this. The story can work but starting a new one at this stage wouldn't be as appealing as something more unique.

@ Kenobi - I would say again to stick to a single mod but thats been said before tongue.gif

I am not "taking credit" I am stating a fact, I'm not even sure why you brought that up...

@ GU Team: This quote from The_Hunter sums up my thoughts:

...I think you guys should just do whatever you want and not care what anyone thinks...


It's your time, your effort, your mod do what you want with it. wink.gif

Hurr taking my post out of its context

We didn't start the fire Yes many mods do these plots for not just zh but alot of games, people should just take the time to skin then show public there work imo. Hell i have a ton of time on my hands , I would take up skinning if i knew how to apply the textures in 3dsmax. mod leaders im sure know what to do lure them in tongue.gif
mbob61
Applying the skins to a unwrapped and UV'd model is the easy part tongue.gif

Mike
Zeke
Yes especially if you have a tablet mindfuck.gif

Skinning in general is not hard, it's just long and annoying
Frostyarmy
I dont know how to apply skins or unwrap sad.gif
