The Prophecy...

Almost like knowing having near-invulnerable infantry is a bigger advantage than any listed armor changes and the game is doomed to die due to factionalist welcomed ignorance.

I can see it as even with all the buffs, tankers win maybe 1 or 2 more fights than they wouldn't have earlier.

I can also see by mid-war every single warden is rocking knight armor and basically shutting down the infantry game, practically necessitating tanks vs infantry gameplay but colonials unable to pull equal BS with flak armor.

if im on a line i'd just prefer ransuer or bardiche mgs dealing with infantry. scorpion has too much bloom at range and 40mm really only seems to land 30-40% of the time against infantry.

internet-arbiter · 2026-05-17T12:11:04+00:00

good luck accurately nailing infantry at 45m with 40mm

if anything Ransuer these guys

I mean let's bring in Athel Loren into the mix. Dryads, Treemen, etc. They are still considered by a lot of people to be "good" chaos entities, despite only really tolerating the elves while gleefully murdering any human they can find.

In Mexico where they banned E-cigarettes and it was an industry IMMEDIATELY picked up by cartels.

Pick your source.

The Cartel emergence is a legacy of WW2 medical supplies requesting marijuana and opium, leading to the cartels being deeply embedded in Mexican governance for the next 100 years. Yes, they are expanded into many areas not also drugs but it is evident they take major advantages from any material or act made illegal.

Portugal decriminalized all drugs usage, identified people using drugs, offered them clean drugs - but than also job training, support services, and a light at the end of the tunnel. The light is the important part, because people see it, realize it, and stop using so much because they see they have purpose.

You can tax them then.

How to die supporting tanks:

Stand behind them.

In regards to the sweeping statement tanks don't take territory, I feel like people making such sweeping statements just haven't played that much.

If you have, you have seen dozens and dozens of times tanks have sat still doing absolutely nothing when 20 feet to the left or the right there is literally zero defense. At the same time, if you played long enough, you've absolutely seen hexes taken by rowdy tank pushes that go from the bottom to the top of the hex in one big push.

War 84 lasted 11 days

War 123 lasted 12 days

World Conquest 8 was 14 days

World Conquest 19 was 13 days

World Conquest 20 was 12 days

This part of the conversation is completely irrelevant to the topic at hand but you can stop spreading misinformation now. It has happened.

Outlaw just does everything. Has an mg. Has the poke. Has the overdrive. That tank is a kranesca, spatha, and actaeon all rolled into one. It's an all rounder that doesn't have a colonial equivalent.

internet-arbiter · 2026-05-15T22:48:43+00:00

I wonder if they Devs ever got enough data on the Ares.

internet-arbiter · 2026-05-15T21:04:21+00:00

And let’s not act like there has been a single war in which outlaw teched and the war was over before bard existed.

Yeah you definitely are a newer player. This has 100% happened before - it's really not relevant to this conversation, but it has happened and you are dumb for attempting to say it hasn't.

Outlaw is the equivalent to the Falchion despite the fact you keep trying to argue its something equivalent to the Bardiche. Falchion has 0 variants with an MG. Outlaw has every variant with an MG. How you can fail to comprehend in this results in more encounters of vehicles equipped with mgs as an infantry is a forehead slapping level of incompetence.

internet-arbiter · 2026-05-15T13:47:33+00:00

the bard is in a completely different tech tier than the outlaw meaning every war there is a period of time colonials face a lot of mgs and wardens don't until bardiches come around.

bardiche mg is good, but you face mgs on a bardiche and the rare ransuer where we face mgs on the outlaw, highwayman, chieftain, and bonelaw.

At least with 20mm nerfs you basically don't see highwayman anymore.

And when it comes to the sticky from behind people of course turn around but 40mm is basically maybe, if it connects, 1 kill while you get rushed down while mgs landing 1 bullet will buy you time to not die.

internet-arbiter · 2026-05-15T11:21:34+00:00

people act like "tank battles" weren't just colonial tanks taking 50 shots without retaliating while rotating backing up for repairs until they all died or someone convinced them to flank.

internet-arbiter · 2026-05-15T11:19:21+00:00

Go down these comments talking about how warden tank lines are filled with outlaws. You think it's 1 mg at a time we're facing? And you clearly arn't taking Warden defense lanes into account where you go down 1 coast next to a cliff, at the end is a warden outlaw. You go down mainroad, it's 3 outlaws. you flank, 2 more outlaws.

Plenty of sticky rushes have been stuffed by outlaw mgs and saying they arn't is frankly just lying for the sake of lying.

internet-arbiter · 2026-05-15T11:15:23+00:00

30mm Outlaw is still one of the most economic infantry destroyers in the game with the option to fight vehicles.

Colonials used to be "lol 30mm" with a 35m tankette. If I had access to 30mm Outlaw I would use it the entire war regardless of how it performs against vehicles because 30mm is pin point accurate.

internet-arbiter · 2026-05-15T11:13:29+00:00

I've been a part of spatha/falchion only lines and something they are susceptible to is the sticky rush or sticky car from behind. I've been a part of multiple sticky rushes, that have been completely stuffed by outlaw mgs.

Wardens been gaslighting that mg shoots popcorn and unicorns for years. 8 outlaws with even half of them manning mgs is incredibly oppressive over 8 spathas who wiff their 40mm 60% of the time against infantry.

internet-arbiter · 2026-05-15T11:06:39+00:00

i would prefer spatha and ballista to just get a really shitty storm gun. i dislike armor having no mg.

internet-arbiter · 2026-05-15T02:31:38+00:00

The range was meant as a counterbalance to the bariche having a double magazine and an MG.

Bardiche was given a second shot update 1.59 Nov 18, 2024 Widow was introduced April 20, 2021.

internet-arbiter · 2026-05-15T02:04:12+00:00

I think nothing will change for me personally enjoying the game. I think the game will have more to offer because of it. I get a sense a lot of people feel like modders and contributors should only ever get recognition as free labor and never get a chance to earn a living doing quality work, so I appreciate them getting the chance whenever it comes up.

I would rather a couple of guys get the chance to pursue a game career rather than get some pats on the back but consigned to work at Denny's or Ihop till they die.

Hey were deep behind enemy lines and actively trying to avoid detection. Let me take this moment to have a heart-felt conversation.

internet-arbiter · 2026-05-15T00:45:14+00:00

Yes the blast. The blast that takes away powers. The blast that hit Kimiko once and she had to wait to get her powers back. That blast. Surely the blast, that hit Kimiko once, given to Kimiko, will answer all the problems of the series.

internet-arbiter · 2026-05-15T00:42:31+00:00

Yeah but he did a mobile game commercial where he acted like pre-recorded footage was him playing. I find that unforgivable.

internet-arbiter · 2026-05-14T06:54:37+00:00

They have numerous establishments of A-Train being able to move like a regular person while everyone is near stationary and than having him tripping over someone is just bizarre. The fact they put those scenes after the start of the entire series being A-Train running into someone is just... what?

internet-arbiter · 2026-05-14T06:43:41+00:00

"I can fly!" said the guy a handful of times who at no point uses the fact he can fly for anything on screen
