The EVA unit in comparison gives at best logically-formulated advice based on the sum of the information it is presented with, having no will or sentient mind of its own. For the player, there is no difference in [[Technology of the Global Defense Initiative#EVA|EVA]] or [[CABAL]], both c
haracters are part of the story and exist only for the story and as decoration of the game.

CABAL's [[Personality psychology|personality]] was createn that of the stereotypical "Evil AI" present in many [[science fiction]] stories.

==Lands of Lore III==
CABAL also appears in [[Lands of Lore III]], another game produced by [[Westwood Studios]]. It appears as the end boss in the final portal world (which is a nuclear wasteland) in an abandoned NOD structure, and must be defeated in order to obtain the final shard of the shining path.

mMiddle aAges, thinks that it is in fact a magician.
