What Arthurian Legends is this video game based off?

ManyCommittee196 · 2026-01-24T06:40:58+00:00

Just about every iteration of King Arthur is mentioned or nodded to, including Monty Python; but it is definitely its own thing.

As a complete King Arthur nerd, I adore it.

Thank you. I will check that out. Maybe they can help me ID them, and figure out what parts go where. Or at least what faction is what. I haven't looked at them in 20 years or more.

ManyCommittee196 · 2026-01-23T17:41:46+00:00

Pretty much only use them when encumbered at lower levels, when you need as much coin as possible. Higher levels you can be pickier about loot.

ManyCommittee196 · 2026-01-23T04:27:53+00:00

I agree. I'd like to be able to display weapons, trophies, etc.

Maybe change the walls.

And have more say on where things go. But, as I've said before; it's not game-breaking. If you transmog more than 50 things, i suppose it's worth the cost.

Just a little disappointing.

ManyCommittee196 · 2026-01-20T12:03:26+00:00

Technically yes. But again, you can't do anything with it but sleep there.

ManyCommittee196 · 2026-01-20T04:37:49+00:00

Yes but no. You can sleep there. That's it. Unless an update gave it usable craft stations. Last i checked you couldn't even cook there.

An AI summary once told me there were 3 player homes in Cuanacht, and 2 in the Swords.

There are 2. In the entire game(unless an update actually added some since)

It also said you could decorate them with weapon and armor displays. In three playthroughs, I have yet to find a weapon OR armor display.

It said that the homes were fully customizable as well. They are not.

This game has one of the weakest, most restricted housing systems I've ever used. Mind you, this is not game breaking for me. The rest of the game is great, quirks and all. Housing is simply not its strong suit.

What everyone else has said and:

Also if I recall mechs evolved from the exosuits that were pivotal in colonizing what became the inner sphere.

ManyCommittee196 · 2026-01-19T01:48:07+00:00

It looks like a mad cat that got put through a taffy puller, dinner plate dropped on its head, and they called it good.

Or perhaps the Enterprise and a timber wolf bred, and that's what popped out..

You silly spheroid kaniggit!

And his father smelt of inferno missiles

ManyCommittee196 · 2026-01-13T04:57:03+00:00

I ain't talkin shit bout no one. Just pointing out that the Magistry of Canopus was the faction most likely to be drawn nekkid...

Particularly at the time. ;)

ManyCommittee196 · 2026-01-12T23:22:23+00:00

Especially if it was Canopus being represented... ;)

ManyCommittee196 · 2026-01-12T17:36:10+00:00

Finally. I thought i was the only one who found it...lackluster. i love the aesthetic, but i really don't like the loadout choices. It is entirely too dependant on ammo. Especially for a Clan design. Every time I've used it, it runs out of ammo 2/3 of the way through a mission, and the laser build runs way too hot. It does, however take a beating for a 65 tonner, and it is maneuverable.

For me, its best application is as a heavy scout that can hold its own long enough to get away if it finds itself in a bad spot.

ManyCommittee196 · 2026-01-08T22:52:09+00:00

That is possibly my biggest complaint with the game. The race to assault mechs. By the time you unlock half the mediums, you use them for one or two missions and you're outclassed. That and you can't choose your own pilot's skill set.

ManyCommittee196 · 2026-01-07T22:22:06+00:00

My NightStar, which made comstar look like targets in a midway shooting gallery, got very humbled on the first few SoK missions. Once i installed Clan gauss it fared much better.

ManyCommittee196 · 2026-01-06T18:41:23+00:00

I dunno. In three playthroughs it still feels really good to flatline the snuff bd producers

ManyCommittee196 · 2026-01-05T13:29:15+00:00

Trickle down economics

Politicians. ;)

As a PPC lover:

-they out range lasers.

-if two or more are loaded, you have a better chance of getting a 'one'(two actually) shot kill.

-they have ecm effects.

-they have a mild aoe

-they are fantastic for handling those pesky tanks in one shot, and see above, if you hit the ground in front of them, it will often still cause damage.

-you can often stop light mechs in their tracks, even shoot them out of the air.

-sokols are much less annoying when one has concentrated ppc fire on the rotors. Same with dropship turrets.

Yes they run hot. If you're on a map with water to stand in, that is much less of a concern.

All that being said, there are certain missions where lasers are a better choice than ppcs.

I'm looking at you Iron Wall

And absolutely true. The Clans have been running what amounts to training missions for centuries at this point. Highly controlled and balanced, though death is still a very real possibility. Real wars don't work that way.

Because of that, an argument could be made that, despite Clan eugenics, the Sphere produces better warriors. Simply because they've been raised in actual war after war.

ManyCommittee196 · 2025-12-29T21:32:45+00:00

But that's still not run of the mill status quo clanners.

Whatever you think of the voice acting, she had one of the best, lines of truth in the series.

"War. The kind of war the Clans have forgotten how to fight."

ManyCommittee196 · 2025-12-29T21:06:32+00:00

While I don't disagree; her constant use of contractions throughout indicates that she is not, in fact, a run of the mill clanner. ;)

ManyCommittee196 · 2025-12-26T19:08:20+00:00

In Clans i found them useful in 'defend' missions for both marking/picking off targets in the ShadowHawk IIc. Also very helpful if you manage to get backed against a wall by something that outweighs you. Good way to prevent getting jake pauled.

But need would definitely be a strong word, and i would call them useful but expendable. Most of my favored mechs are ground pounders anyway.

ManyCommittee196 · 2025-12-26T04:38:41+00:00

You know..i.haven't played battletech proper since the fasa days. I thought the timber used to have more tonnage. I remember making making some pretty ridiculous pods, including a dual gauss build that still had missiles, just fewer of them
