Which planet did they destroy?

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Looks to be another part of France. Which is pretty on brand for the French, as no one hates the French more than the French.

[–] CptEnder@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Can confirm: lived in Paris. The French detest nothing more than The French. Besides the French Caribbeans, they don't hate anything. Probably because they're not in France.

Wasn’t this in C&C: Red Alert 2?

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I was just thinking that. Was it turned into a huge Tesla coil or something?

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes

The city was poorly guarded because most of the French forces had joined with the Germany army along the Polish border. Taking advantage of this weakness, the Soviets sent a squad of Tesla troopers to turn the Paris Tower into a giant Tesla coil. The plan was successful, devastating the Allied forces in the region and forcing thousands of Parisians to flee.

What a killer plot that game had.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

One of my favorites. And for anyone wanting to play them again, all the first decade command and conquer games were added to steam and they all run out of the box with none of EAs launcher bullshit

Try the Mental Omega mod. Easily three months worth of campaign content

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Now, witness the power of this FULLY OPERATIONAL EIFFEL TOWER!!

[–] SteveFromMySpace@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 3 months ago

We're miserable, Morty! There's a mandatory curfew, their weird calendar made me 47, and they weaponized the Eiffel Tower!

King Charles: So the French have made their move. Camilla, activate Bigger Ben

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Nah, the Eifle tower will only be weaponized when you station tesla troopers around the base of it who turn it into an enormous tesla coil.

We already know its true purpose. Why do you think there has never been a movie about Godzilla in Paris?

In case anyone is wondering: it's an ice ray and one of the thousands required to freeze the sun in the first part of the fantastic mission set out for us by out glorious leader, life-giver of the universe, Arpoovian Shepper-Shenty.
