Cards for Devs is a project EvilConker and NodSoldierGirl are leading which has the aim of making the developers at EALA not feel abandoned when they're let go. Basically, when the news of the layoff came at EALA, we felt guilty, and we noticed that lots of people who like C&C felt guilty too. It doesn't matter what you think of the games, these developers have worked their heart out on every one of them, and they've given us so much that it's time we give them something back in return. So what we decided to do is to send cards from the community to them, in a reverse of what developers usually do which is send cards to the developers. We're currently trying to find someone who can make some good artwork to put on the card.

The end result will be that the developers won't feel like we betrayed them and will walk into the cruel world of unemployment knowing that somebody cares about them.

They've given us so much, and it's time for us to give them something in return.

You can send your submissions to NODSOLDIERGIRL or EvilConker Good Luck! We can't wait to see what you'll come up with.

The Command & Conquer franchise has one of the largest and most active fan communities in the world. It has been alive for 15 years thanks to the contribution of many active fansites. On May 27, 2010, the website CnCSaga.com will be 5000 days old (~13 years and a half). On this occasion, the staff of CnCSaga invites you to take part in a challenge named:

Click the above image to get started and post your pictures of boxes!

Take a picture of each of your Command & Conquer boxes (PC, MAC, Console) and go now on http://www.saga5000.com/ to load them on the site. Each new box will raise the counter and every day the gallery will be updated.

We will launch a lottery next May 27 : some goodies to win for the participants.

I have received orders from "The Messiah" telling me that Kane is unhappy with the way this site looks. Due a to tiberium vein reaction (down to some of my experiments) earlier this week, Kane can not afford any more downtime. So over the next few days, visually, this site will slowly start to change. It will get ugly here and there. The Messiah has personally requested that i establish a forum thread for Kane's loyal servants (and GDI's scumbags) to post their comments on the changes.

Evelyn Rios Profile was also posted this morning too.



Elected head of Idris, a multinational company serving government, the Secretary General Rios came to power after a wave of global optimism. Worker, Rios reached the summit while seeing his father die slowly from a cancer caused by Tiberium. CEO of the last superpower still in place, it is a subtle politician and confirmed, strongly committed to protecting the nascent democracy, whatever the price.

"Legendary Nod figure Brother Marcion designed the original Purifier Warmech as a manifestation of his own combat achievements during TW-II, designed as much to strike fear in the hearts of his enemies as to dominate the battlefield. In preparation for TW-III, Nod engineers took Marcion's original concept to a new level, creating a much more adaptable and versatile monstrosity; a veritable manifestation of Nod's forces on the battlefield...An Avatar."
