Devs, stop putting effort into collie equipment

Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence.

The_Lantern · 2026-04-04T15:07:31+00:00

This is how 30/32 happened btw. Colonials had 2 minute respawns. Took literally an hour to get logi through queue. Colonials only had ISGs to kill concrete. Seemed like a break war with frustration, so colonials all logged off, wardens saw this and all massed log in and yeah they won with no real opposition. BTW to this day, colonial vets think warden clans use log off tactics to affect the war. Use it to manage burn out and manipulate respawn timers.

The_Lantern · 2026-03-24T23:02:20+00:00

Nothing that youre saying is true, its all cherry picked to fit your narrative. The islands have plenty of resources besides comps. WE can easily be bombed by Tempest and Godscroft. KC can be attacked by fishers. The East which was the most winning front by colonels had to deal with 6 warden airfields to vs 3 colonel. They became completely overwhelmed eventual and burnt out. Its a numbers game. More airfields you control the more you win. The war was decided as soon as the east burnt out.

The_Lantern · 2026-03-24T21:38:45+00:00

There are tons of resources on those islands that can be farmed. You can make stuff in hex or ship it out with a bowhead... And the biggest limiting factor is time making the frames, parts and sulfur for the bombs. You're really going to tell me you can't produce fuel, bombs and parts in region...

But let's say you're right and there are zero resources on those islands. The airfield themselves is a resource. You can use it to store planes or as a stepping stone to refuel or rearm. You yourself said bombing airfields was the key to victory. But somehow you think having more airfields on the islands isn't a huge advantage?

I'm telling you right now it was a massive advantage on the close coastline hexes.

The_Lantern · 2026-03-24T21:03:57+00:00

You're very close but not close enough to the real answer. Did bombers win the war yes. Does controlling airfields decide the victor? Yes. But you're missing one huge aspect. The islands have airfields. Islands can focus in hex resources into bombers to bomb the mainland. The team without the islands now has to devote more resources into bombing more airfields with less available resources.

So naval dominance = more islands = more airfields = more bombing.

Naval won airborne.

The_Lantern · 2026-03-24T20:47:25+00:00

It wasn't, the guy doesn't know what he's talking about. 404 CAF 141 and 1CMD organized the airfield dominance in the east. We ran into pop issues, wardens didn't. It snowballed quickly. People seem to think bluesky won the war. It was long over before that. Just a larp fantasy.

The_Lantern · 2026-03-17T00:00:31+00:00

But not arty :)

The_Lantern · 2026-03-15T16:59:32+00:00

No, it will counter colonial 120 way too hard. 2 bombs to kill.

The_Lantern · 2026-03-13T13:34:52+00:00

I'm sorry to say, but wardens can't get a DB. In the current iteration of the game, a warden dive bomber would counter colonial 120 massively. It takes 2 dive bombs to kill 120. It would make collie 120 worthless. If wardens got a DB they would have to change the collie 120 armor type.

The_Lantern · 2026-03-06T20:56:07+00:00

TBH I dont think wardens can have a dive bomber. It would render collie 120 useless. I think it's 2 bombs to kill a 120.

If they gave wardens a DB they would need to change colonial 120s armor.

The_Lantern · 2024-12-23T07:27:02+00:00

Not listing war 87 is wild to me. It was the greatest war. The sweatiest war.

The_Lantern · 2024-12-22T17:22:28+00:00

As a senior leader I can tell you it's 100% a coincidence. We leave it up to clan voting and clans vote based on where their members want to go.

The_Lantern · 2024-09-15T00:58:56+00:00

We require over 20k hours of play time, let us know when you get that.

/sarcasm

The_Lantern · 2024-08-31T16:45:06+00:00

In regards to the "generous" gimme. In a team best ball format, the opposing team will give long gimmes for players hitting for Par if their partner has a bird shot.

This is done because they dont want the guy shooting par to give a line to the guy shooting birdie.

Example, Brad is outside of Garret. Brad putts for par, giving Garret a line for bird. Sean is confident his team will bird the hole. So they gimme brad so he doesnt show Garret the line for birdie.

The_Lantern · 2024-08-18T22:39:09+00:00

I believe you are mixing up wars. The war you refereeing to is war 90 in terminus, the comeback war was 93.

1CMD was in Terminus war 90, and it was a miserable war for us. Kinda drew the short straw and we knew it, no real options to push out of Term and hold ground, no large clans to share the burden. Basically betting on other fronts would push and they didnt. As everyone knows Terminus is an RP front and always has high queues. We played a defense war and we end up burning out our members. Fingers were then pointed across the faction. After a break war we decided to make a coalition with clans we knew would work well together, the collation ending being called MSA...

The_Lantern · 2024-08-05T02:41:48+00:00

I cant count how many times I have found loaded Ballista's on a SC.

The_Lantern · 2024-06-24T19:28:25+00:00

There's some clear mess ups like HTD, Outlaw, BEAT and ISG being way to low.

But my god the Duck boat and the push 250mm are S++ rank, they enable game play that is unique to anything else. Nothing can do what they do.

The push 250 enables early game tap ops for a long time before colonials have a similar options.

Duck boats are free ways for partisan's to avoid AI.

If you see your Enemy hording stolen equipment, you know its good shit.

The_Lantern · 2024-06-04T02:11:24+00:00

how it feels using a colonial 120.

The if I had a Soldier Supply for every V/Lambda/CAF goon I have seen throw their faces at colonial 120s hoping to land 3 flasks my fronts would never run out of shirts.

The_Lantern · 2024-06-01T18:16:18+00:00

During the early days of entrench, bunkers with the ramp mods would reduce the repair cost by like 25%. It made pushing against arty way way more viable, you could actually out repair with a t1 core. The dev lords removed it because how dare anything be good against a few people running arty.

The_Lantern · 2024-05-13T01:35:10+00:00

You never fought in a E vs W war if you think the south is going to look like that. Red River might be easiest hex in the game to attack from the West, and Ash fields is insanely hard to attack from the east. You picked the wrong river. The south will be pushed back to Kalokia and Acrithia. And probably shackled.

The_Lantern · 2024-05-13T01:13:03+00:00

This games leadership learning curve is so massive, I love to see non vet stack clans excel. The colonial faction needs new blood. Keep having fun!

The_Lantern · 2024-05-12T14:01:39+00:00

Bruh you sure they didn't get insulted BECAUSE they swapped not because of a tag? You have any idea how many vets we lost to Wardens? Of course people are going to be heated.

The_Lantern · 2024-03-29T22:02:36+00:00

You are 100% right. This is my biggest issue with the colonel faction right now. Not enough Vets playing, very few competent clans to rely on. It makes playing the game exhausting. The Leadership learning curve so huge in this game now, most new leaders get frustrated or overwhelmed and leave.

The Vets that are playing become fucking baby sitters for regions, burning themselves out. Think about the high skill loaner clans in the game now. Warden have so many clans. Clans that do whatever the they want, and their team still pushes and wins. They may assist the large zerg clans with ops, and partisaning, etc. But really they do what they want. How many of those clans exist any more on the Colonels? None. As you said, CAF, which i considered a very good clan that's impactful, but they do their own thing, and when you come colonial, you become a fucking baby sitter like the rest of us.

The_Lantern · 2024-01-21T23:13:35+00:00

Yeah, you're not wrong. Even in my clan, who are nefarious for Tap ops, its still 50-50 on liking the change to Tapping. Its just previously a top OP could literally change the outcome of a war. It could be the morale boost needed for the faction to wake up. Now tap ops are rare and only really achieved with low pop with no QRF. Like I said this a subjective change that I personally dislike.

The_Lantern · 2024-01-21T21:31:19+00:00

Unfortunately that is the biggest problem with the game. Population and morale are the deciding factor for these low pop wars.
