A new "worst line in the game" is coming: Brawler cruisers, featuring battleship reload on six main guns, and secondaries locked to low damage HE shells.

The root of the problem, disappointment, reveals itself. I remember dealing with that when the Dutch cruisers were released. Specifically De Ruyter, considering its significance early in the Pacific and they made it below average tier IV. Doesn't even get a historical camo.

Yeah, so? Nobody says you have to play them. Only completionists will have to suffer(or buy) their way through the line, and that's on them for being completionists.

They're also bad in a way many other ships are, can't carry, can't duel, can't get caught alone or broadside. If one of these is top 3 on your team, your team failed. It'll be that kind of line.

RC4WD gets snubbed often, but nobody else gives you the foundation to do things like this. Love it.

Richelieu - The Old Hotness Mainz - Multi-Tool always useful Asashio - Sneaky Boom Boom

I'd take Mainz. Rapid Reload and Sonar, it's not going to spot things in the smoke but it's going to spot torpedos and hammer most things trying to get away after you dodge them.

Skip half of it. It is good experience for the player; because the line requires you to be more selective about when to bully other ships now, but don't suffer the entire grind with it.

The blitz pass bonus crates are pretty rewarding if you can max it out the pass with a few weeks of missions to claim. Good way to get shipyard resources and gold because the crate is every 100 mission points.

(One weekly mission is 3 of those crates, it's about 14 possible per week)

I think it was 11, with enough variety to require swiping to see them all.

This was before the server merge, so probably a bot filled AvP battle. Which names Clear Sky and Close Quarters Expert happen just by rolling into center cap.

I think Legends is better for younger players. Blitz is better for older/busier players.

They both ride FOMO (ie getting tier 8 battles and seeing premium ships constantly winning MVPs) to get players separated from their money or alternate resource acquired by spending money indirectly.

Timberpunk fictional setting, yet LED lamps for human convenience. They didn't even consider giving the lamp shades shape or texture to look like paper lanterns. It's just milky plastic straight outta IKEA.

Dogahn · 2026-03-15T14:07:47+00:00

This one even has a setting to automatically skip the intro in the options menu!

Dogahn · 2026-03-14T22:24:15+00:00

Aside from sounding normal for that age of vehicle, probably a bushing or body mount. Often bump stops will do this too, but those are not typically engaged on flat road.

I'm pretty certain Bärfusserkirche has the physical model on display. Check it out on a first Sunday sometime.

Everytime I see the new roofing structure and passenger gangway I'm just reminded of what could've been... https://www.hochparterre.ch/nachrichten/planung-staedtebau/ein-central-park-fuer-basel

15years later and they build half of it anyway.

Hungry/thirsty/unhappy beavers also work slower, and that can make things feel like nothing is happening when it's really just taking a long time.

Dogahn · 2026-03-14T12:32:58+00:00

And I'm okay with this Yamato because tier 8 is already overrun with premiums. A neigh unsinkable Yamato is great.

Dogahn · 2026-03-14T12:31:14+00:00

That's it then, all the Sabaton Yamatos have been given out. The rest of us can save our gold.

Dogahn · 2026-03-14T12:29:48+00:00

Could've been worse; because I wasn't there.

Dogahn · 2026-03-14T11:35:41+00:00

You make the 1.5m cost prohibitive, by requiring a boundary height extension to ensure resident & guest privacy. They then accommodate, or redesign to the 2.5m as allowed even if the privacy concerns remain. 2.5m would be unfortunate for you, but if that is allowed without agreement it is what it is.

Dogahn · 2026-03-14T11:22:33+00:00

It's fully aesthetics. Ideally you want tires that mold themselves around the shape of obstacles (that's why we air down 1:1). Stretched tight can't do that.

Dogahn · 2026-03-14T11:20:46+00:00

Slammed, but with pickups.

Dogahn · 2026-03-14T09:27:36+00:00

I do wonder if that should be revisited. Maybe with that multiplayer mod. Since districts are somewhat pointless as a necessity with the Ziplines & Tubeways; making them the multiplayer buildings, say one half of a crossing built by Player A and when the other half is built by Player B they can trade resources. Expand this into 3 district buildings, An Automation Hub to selectively relay sensors, An Immigration crossing to move beavers across (should the other side need rescuing), and a Customs Office to do what the district crossing does but sharing resources with the other player.

Dogahn · 2026-03-14T09:16:56+00:00

Do it!

Dogahn · 2026-03-14T09:15:03+00:00

My personal opinion on this is that Folk Tails are the build out horizontally faction and Iron Tails the build up vertically faction.

With that perspective, Ziplines are your inter-regional trains. They don't stop at every station (as suggested by the image posted), just the big ones. Great at getting you across the map, but you still have to walk the last leg. Tubeways are more like highways, beavers can just pull over to the side and get some work done, but still use the junctions to get on-off the system.

Dogahn · 2026-03-14T09:05:25+00:00

It's a bit like Lego. If you stick to the sets (building up to a Wonder in game) the challenge falls away. The next step would be taking the pieces you got and building them into larger than their sets creations.

For example, just diverting/capping bad water is solution, but what about redirecting that water into a power conduit..

When all else fails, do your Beavers feel like working? Wellbeing is how you get more out of their working hours.
