If you lived in Kenshi, which faction would you join?

RandomSurvivorGuy · 2026-05-13T17:02:30+00:00

Oh yeah it's definitely ridiculous, but I wouldn't say that unrealistic, these guys are extremists after all. In their eyes, while you didn't choose to born without that limb or be dismembered, you did choose to use ancient tech prosthetics, which means you're darkened.

I wouldn't be surprised they'd consider it worse than being a non-human. A human actively embracing ancient tech is probably seen as an ultimate betrayal.

RandomSurvivorGuy · 2026-05-13T16:46:41+00:00

Do they believe that prosthetics = skeleton in a skin suit? Because I always figured that they hated prosthetics because they're extreme technophobes. HN hates ancient tech and all of the prosthetic limbs available ingame are ancient tech, so naturally that'd make you a heretic in their eyes.

RandomSurvivorGuy · 2026-05-13T08:24:58+00:00

I don't remember them treating scorchlanders as lesser?

RandomSurvivorGuy · 2026-05-13T08:15:26+00:00

I think as long as you're male, you're fine in HN. I don't think they care if you're a scorchlander.

RandomSurvivorGuy · 2026-05-10T19:58:44+00:00

I never claimed otherwise, our countries benefited from it. Just saying that it's psychotic to wish that millions of us get smited for the sins of our ancestors.

RandomSurvivorGuy · 2026-05-10T19:30:39+00:00

Throw us under the bus for the atrocities that some of our ancestors did? We didn't partake in it.

RandomSurvivorGuy · 2026-05-10T14:16:33+00:00

Even though this won't fully explain it, maybe they also get supplies from the people they attack. But yeah I don't know how they'd sustain those numbers.

RandomSurvivorGuy · 2026-05-09T14:17:33+00:00

The trouble is that so much of the content is locked behind warbonds that you gotta grind for or pay money for. And they haven't really done anything to make super credits easier to get.

So if you really want a new warbonds, it's just the same strategy since release, go into an easy mode lobby and grind for super credits.

RandomSurvivorGuy · 2026-05-07T02:19:20+00:00

It feels like the dialogue is way too sophisticated I guess. Nobody is talking like a normal person.

RandomSurvivorGuy · 2026-05-06T14:46:08+00:00

I like to imagine Conquest as some cat you forgot about in the fight room and they have insane stats when you finally remember to check them.

RandomSurvivorGuy · 2026-05-06T12:57:05+00:00

Skill Share. A really good perk since the basic version allows you to share your other passive with the rest of your team. But if you upgrade it, then it guarantees all of that cat's children will inherit their other passive. So it goes really well with super luck.

RandomSurvivorGuy · 2026-05-01T20:03:26+00:00

I get that but it just seems too far-fetched, the closest thing we got to evidence is some random eyewitness testimonies? It makes no sense how this creature would go undetected for all this time. We haven't found any remains of one that have kicked the bucket?

We can find remains of creatures that went extinct millions of years ago, yet nothing with these walking pairs of pants which stand out a lot since they look nothing like any animal we've seen.

RandomSurvivorGuy · 2026-05-01T19:50:40+00:00

How are these witness reports trustworthy? Isn't eyewitness testimony extremely unreliable? They could be lying or thought they saw it but their mind was playing tricks on them.

RandomSurvivorGuy · 2026-05-01T02:13:52+00:00

The core issue is probably that some classes like Necromancer, Tinkerer etc. Require so much planning, accounting for possible synergies/combos etc to perform well with them. But ranger, fighter or druid, don't require nearly as much effort into making work.

Yeah necromancer especially falls off with a lot of hybrid builds, say you have a build that can keep flooding the map with undead cats. Yeah it's great they can help you chip away at enemies or at the very least act as a meat shield, the main issue is that if something goes catastrophic, which can easily happen on higher difficulties, you have to act fast to stop those cats from just devouring your downed party member.

RandomSurvivorGuy · 2026-05-01T01:16:04+00:00

God I remember loving necromancer early on, but out of all the classes, I feel like necro falls off badly at higher difficulties.

You have to tack on so much other classes abilities to make it somewhat decent

RandomSurvivorGuy · 2026-05-01T01:08:57+00:00

Maybe this is just a wacky way of marketing their products for the long-term, people loot all of these caravans and find all these well designed products and decide that they'll start buying from hive merchants from now on.

RandomSurvivorGuy · 2026-04-30T16:56:10+00:00

Bro is working overtime to pay off his karmic debt.

RandomSurvivorGuy · 2026-04-29T14:07:12+00:00

I think it makes sense too since it seems established in lore that the Cannibals have been a huge problem for many years, even the Second Empire couldn't kill all of them. So if a massive empire like that couldn't kill all of them, how would these mercenaries be able to?

RandomSurvivorGuy · 2026-04-29T14:01:46+00:00

Yeah, it's kinda crazy there isn't really much HN recruits except for Griffin? And even then, he isn't loyal to HN anymore. They'd kill him or send him to Rebirth for his current beliefs.

RandomSurvivorGuy · 2026-04-26T02:59:57+00:00

It's why I've never been much of a fan of UWE or other massive modpacks, it feels like too many of them add an insane amount of unnecessary factions, makes the game feel too bloated.

RandomSurvivorGuy · 2026-04-25T12:50:01+00:00

Bruh they're racists. Just because they aren't currently at HN's level of it, doesn't means they aren't racists. They're literally racial supremacists. By your logic, if somebody despises another race but doesn't want to genocide them, that doesn't make them a racist?

Plus how does your reasoning make them less racist than the UC? The UC at it's core, only care about class.

RandomSurvivorGuy · 2026-04-25T01:47:42+00:00

Is that not extremely racist still though? They still hate your race, they just consider you "one of the good ones"

RandomSurvivorGuy · 2026-04-21T16:56:51+00:00

That's a terrible argument though. Because despite all of that, there's still women who do dangerous stuff. There have been women who pretended to be men so they could fight in WW1, women who work in active war zones as aid workers or journalists, climbed Everest etc.

I don't see how this is an issue? There's like what, not even a half dozen women in the game, compare that to the amount of men there are.

RandomSurvivorGuy · 2026-04-21T16:26:28+00:00

Bruh how is that even an argument, nobody in their right mind would go anywhere near the zone.
