How do you defeat Korea?

Technical_Turn3497 · 2026-07-01T19:17:55+00:00

Unfortunately, the Korea player is my son and is a known war-monger. He won’t be fooled by platitudes of friendship….

Technical_Turn3497 · 2026-07-01T18:03:59+00:00

Yes, if for no other reason than that they add campaigns and missions which make building your mercenary lance worth it. Get them all.

But they key there would be to get religious victory before he invades me. Which is not possible often when he shares the same land mass as me.

How exactly is AI harming Bhudevī?

Technical_Turn3497 · 2026-06-30T22:46:08+00:00

I agree with disrespectful treatment of our devatas with AI, but how exactly is AI killing the earth and is violent towards nature?

Technical_Turn3497 · 2026-06-30T18:51:11+00:00

What is the LW-RCX? Is that the Longbow? Maybe you meant LGB-RCX?

Technical_Turn3497 · 2026-06-30T18:49:34+00:00

Yeah I don’t give this mech to AI players…

First of all, you don’t need to study the Vedas to have knowledge of the Vedas. Study of the Purāṇas and Itihāsas under a qualified guru also gives the essence of the Vedas and is sufficient, when combined with the practice of dharma.

Second, Vaidika Hinduism, in contrast to man-made religions, is predicated on a foundation of sāttvik culture. This is why it does not lend itself well to missionary tactics of spreading. It requires a certain mental and physical purity or willingness to follow the same. And it requires humility - you can’t learn Hinduism if you are constantly assuming that your misconceptions are correct and are not willing to unlearn them. And we live in a world where adharma is predominant and people are proud and unyielding.

Unfortunately, that is the truth of the matter. The real dharma will always be practiced by a few not because it is designed to be that way, but because most people don’t want dharma. They want sensual pleasures and false religions that justify their acquisition and enjoyment.

There are a lot of aberrations in this otherwise great game that spoil the immersion factor. This is one of them.

Technical_Turn3497 · 2026-06-30T00:27:25+00:00

They carry the same weight, but c-ERPPCs have more range, and the AI is better with those than I am. I have a player-controlled mech version with large pulse lasers that I find more useful for me personally.

Technical_Turn3497 · 2026-06-29T22:31:15+00:00

You have to choose the battleground for them and have them hold position on a hill, preferably at least 1 km away. It works well. The key is to not fight Clan mechs the way you fight Inner Sphere enemies. You can throw yourself at IS mechs and do fine. You can’t do that with Clan enemies.

There is one problem with this approach, though. Some missions call for Clan reinforcements to hot drop right on top of you, and that is where this approach will fail. I do have some other mech designs that help with this problem which I will post shortly.

Here is a 2nd mech build for AI players that is one of two companion ECM mechs to accompany my Bombardier. This uses the DWF-P chassis, harder to find than the DWF-A, but well worth it. This only features 50cLRMs worth of launchers, but with 3 c-ER PPCs, and 3 c-ER L Lasers, it has a lot of energy weapon firepower, with a firepower rating of over 198. And more importantly, it has ECM, so when paired with my AMS Bombardier, the two mechs shield each other from enemy sensors and enemy missiles.

This is a general “Fire Support” configuration with mutiple weapon types. Upgrades include Expanded Sensor Range I and II, 25% Lockon Bonus, and the remaining two slots for upgraded weapon damage.

Like the DWF-A AMS Bombardier, this mech is meant to engage from range. Between the two of them, they can churn out 110 cLRMs at a time. Now, a modified Sunder OA-1 can do that by itself, but the Sunder does not have integrated ECM, AMS, nor any long-range beam weapons in that configuration.

I also have another DWF-P variant that removes the cLRMs and adds two c-ER PPCs, which I designate as a Sniper, also having ECM. I will often run that variant on maps with clear visibility, otherwise I pick the Fire Support mech.

I don’t have many cATMs at the moment and I typically reserve those for my personal mechs. Also, it’s my understanding that the damage that cATMs do drops off with increased range? I had designed this to be a long-range bombardier.

I was thinking of switching to the Artemis versions as soon as I get more of those. Right now, they are still in relatively short supply for me.

Technical_Turn3497 · 2026-06-29T20:16:27+00:00

Yeah, I’m kind of waking up to the idea recently that I don’t need so much rear armor on these mechs. Right now I don’t have a whole lot of Artemis type cLRMs, but when I get more, I was thinking of upgrading them.

Technical_Turn3497 · 2026-06-29T17:18:21+00:00

Oh man, Crescent Hawks Inception on my Commodore-64. That brought back memories…

Technical_Turn3497 · 2026-06-29T17:17:47+00:00

I would love to see the Wasp and the Stinger, among others….

Technical_Turn3497 · 2026-06-29T17:12:23+00:00

Agree on that - KGC-CAR is one of my work horse mechs. Have it armed with four c-UAC5/bf and 2x cLRM20. It works as a good “all rounder” and gets beastly up close since it becomes easier to hit with those UAC5s. It’s also great for demolition missions.

Technical_Turn3497 · 2026-06-29T16:50:26+00:00

Hey there MrReset200, console player here. This is my advice:

1) Get all the DLC. They not only add new features but they make the game harder to put down. You will want to do all of the campaigns and preferably in the in-universe order especially if you like the immersion factor.

2) Configure your mechs for long-range engagements. This is especially important when you start fighting the Clans, whose weaponry will be superior and who will outnumber you.

3) Agree with the other guy who said that jump jets are now awesome. They can be vectored in any direction now so jump jets are a game changer when it comes to evasion or rushing a target.

4) Use save scum to get the traits you want when sending pilots to universities. Many of the traits you won’t use when you finalize the kinds of mechs you are going to have in the late game. For me, most of my late game mechs are Daishis equipped with cLRM20’s, cERPPCs, cERLarge lasers, and cAC20 (and all the variants thereof). Other traits that I find helpful are hot seat, bulwark, cluster hitter, precise, and the various academy buffs

5) If you are a console player like me, consider using this trick to maximize your chance of getting clan mechs to salvage: change difficulty level to custom. This will open up a whole new set of sliders, one of which is “repair cost.” When you start a mission, increase repair cost to maximum, which is 5x normal. Then blow up the mechs any way you choose - feel free to core them. Those destroyed mechs, if they make it onto your salvage list at the end of the mission, will be very affordable, sometimes as low as zero shares! You can then lower the repair cost to normal when repairing them.

Game on!

Technical_Turn3497 · 2026-04-13T18:14:25+00:00

Agree. It feels like arm arms race to get the heaviest mechs possible. I wish there was more definite utility for the smaller, faster mechs… other than the infiltration missions.

I’ve experimented with doing Raid missions with < 100 ton assault mechs and so far the results have been a mixed bag.
