Is it compatible with macOS?
>>43184950No idea.
They should add an Epstein island event chain or even a tag. Maybe when Klugetown gets actual content.

It is time to put an end to the final enemy that caused a civil war in our beautiful land of Equestria.
>when you have decided to protect terrorists just because they said they are "sorry"
Justice has been served
It is actually a bit sad, you cant put one of the solar bats in charge of Solaria, I went specifically Protector for that
A world safe for Harmony and my little ponies
And the Sun Empress will perhaps even establish a friendly relationship with the Empress Matriarch of the Flames
you can really tell how old the Solar tree is
>>43186607Based. Total Chiropterran death.
>>43186651I really want to commission some art of solar bats vs chiropteran bats for that true Warhammer feel.Also, naturally, the entire time during the war I was listening to Sundowner theme on the loop.
>>43184946Is that a chick or a fag? Ehh, either way…
>>43186610It's actually annoying. I ended up having to conquer half of Zebrica on my Solar Empire playthrough.
>>43186612Based.>>43186614I hadn't thought of that because I went "God-Empress" Daybreaker on my civil war Solar Empire playthrough. It's a missed opportunity.
>>43186702It's a mare.
>>43186657Based.Personally, I went with Sacred War on loop for the whole "finally putting down a total evil" feel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FtqkGeTgr0
>>43186769It is certainly weird how easily Carrot Stick can join MST, considering how evil chirropterans were. Well, Hippogriff navy was quite strong this run, I had to get tricky and invade the Abyssinian faction and get to them that way.
>>43186775Cute.
>anon don't you know that glorifying war is bad?
>>43187106Yes. Thankfully, this is a fictional setting with fictional characters, so real life concerns don't matter.
>>43187106For peace and safety of the ponykind, we must destroy all our enemies over there, Empress commands and protects
>For peace and safety of the ponykind, we must destroy all our enemies over there, Empress commands and protects...super villain aura
>>43187430Boop her.
>>43187106Prove it!
Is Balefire Blues worth playing? I lost interest in Fallout autism years ago.
Is there a page on the wiki for uniforms. I kinda want to contribute to the fan art
>>43187106>war is retarded>petting war-weary ponies is awesome>can't have one without the otherThis reality is inconsistent. Something must be broken in its very core.
>>43188395Not sure, but maybe there's something in the mod's files?
>>43188395just look at the portraits, silly
>>43188748He probably meant the unit uniforms, or the game models.
>>43188766To be fair, these are not very reflective of actual national uniforms. I guess changelings kinda are, and griffons are for Empire. But ponies and zebras dont look much like they do in the art.For Equestria you really should look at the portraits of generals.
Anyway, I can't decide whether to do the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfMYKSdZdAY or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLzxrzFCyOs for the next run
>>43188874Chiropterra/Lunar Empire or communist Griffonian Republic?
>10Why is this board moving so damn fast?
>>43187106
>>43189253Yes
>>43189832Celestia if the Buffalos repeatedly refuse to be puppeted by her.
>>43187106>"A computerized war game? I'd love to give it a try.>"This is quite the fascinating hypothetical Equestria has been put in.>"So the first objective is to defeat this changeling country in a war which can't be diplomatically avoided? They're not terribly strong. I suppose this conflict must be introductory, a way to prepare the player for future objectives.>"Anon, there seems to be some issue with the game. I've mobilized a force and gathered it near the border, but the button to declare war isn't working."
>>43190506You have to wait for them to attack you. You also need to build up a lot to beat them. This war will be much bigger than your previous wars against the Changelings. Even with all of those preparations, the Changelings will likely get close to or even take Canterlot, and might even take the Crystal Empire, and then gradually be pushed back. Try to get the help of Stalliongrad if you can.
>>43182482>Anyway, who is the character on the right?Knight-Lieutenant Elfreda of the Arcturian Order in the Equestria at War mod.She can potentially lead the Supremacy ideology under certain circumstances.
>>43190573The portrait doesn't look very knightly, for a nation that is supposed to be an actual knightly order. Modern EaW really once again proves it can't keep consistant aesthethic
>>43190582I hadn't thought about that, but yeah. She looks more like a samurai or a ninja or something than a knight, unlike the generals and models of the Arcturian Order.Also, apart from a few features such as her eyelashes, it's almost impossible to tell that she's a mare rather than a stallion.
The Grand Equestrian Republic should have events for after the referendum where if Celestia had not taken any evil actions during the buildup to the Great War and the Great War itself, then she starts adapting to her new place as an ordinary citizen, travels and visits various countries, feels out of place in the rapidly-changing world, gets therapy for her many mental issues, and so on.
Balefire Blues is shit.
>>43190951The whole referendum is being removed in the rework.
>>43190598Yea, they should have taken actual inspiration from Arthurian legends or Monty Python and make her actual dark paladin like Agravain. Or like Black Prince.
>>43191048Which is retarded, but the mod still needs more flavour events, especially ones that take into account the fact that Celestia, Luna, and Twilight are not mentally stable.
Would you continue the Ataghan bloodline, anons?
>>43191888I'm only into human women.
There are a lot of routes where alicorns are tyrannical and the population just goes along with it. I have an idea for a tag where the opposite is the case. Alicorns are relatively common, but are systematically enslaved ever since a revolt against tyrannical Epstein-tier alicorns a long time ago. The tag is a complete shithole with the lowest development levels, no or few factories, no infrastructure, a risk of famine, and so on because the tyrannical alicorns had destroyed the country with their degeneracy and working the population to death and not maintaining any equipment. The alicorns suffer horrific abuse (including rape) because nothing can actually harm them. The alicorn enslavement national spirit is the only reason why the population isn't constantly decreasing.Industrialising this slavery-reliant shithole eventually raises the question of what to do with the alicorns. Killing them is impossible. Freeing the dangerous alicorns results in another tyranny of Epstein-tier degenerate alicorns destroying the country and being overthrown and enslaved again. Freeing and reintegrating the younger alicorns puts the country on the path to a harmonic republic. You could even end up with a harmonic alicorn rule.It would probably fit better in the Balefire Blues submod, where alicorns are more common and there is much more edgy stuff.
>>43192827>There are a lot of routes where alicorns are tyrannical>a lotThere are precisely TWO in EaW and ONE in BB. >muh EpsteinYou are an underaged retard.
>>43192827>nothing can actually harm them>younger alicorns appear somehowIs it a situation where all not too inert matter is doomed to ultimately be converted into alicornhood? Imagine bedrock coated as far as the eye can see with a think layer of immortals just laying helplessly on top of each other, eternally hungry because every last molecule there was to be eaten was turned into undestructible flesh aeons ago.And how do they control the undestructibles? The way I understand it, slavery exists in a narrow corridor where the enslaved are strong but not too strong. You can't force me to do stuff with direct violence if I can just lay down, disassociate and wait for you and your grandchildren to die. And neither you can rely on me caring for vulnerable others if hurting innocents for fun was my whole schtick. All that's left is cheating with brainwashing spells that work because they do. At this point, just mothball them in concrete and call it a day.
>>43192869>There are precisely TWO in EaW and ONE in BB.Daybreaker, Nightmare Moon, Twilight Theory, and the evil diarchy. Also even some of Balefire Blues' unique focus trees aren't actually finished.>You are an underaged retard.no u>>43192878>Is it a situation where all not too inert matter is doomed to ultimately be converted into alicornhood? Imagine bedrock coated as far as the eye can see with a think layer of immortals just laying helplessly on top of each other, eternally hungry because every last molecule there was to be eaten was turned into undestructible flesh aeons ago.Ignoring Balefire Blues' FEV stuff, Cadence shows that alicorns can have alicorn children. It can just be that enough alicorns had and continue to have alicorn children that they make up a reasonable minority, but are still outnumbered by the rest of the population.>And how do they control the undestructibles?

And neither you can rely on me caring for vulnerable others if hurting innocents for fun was my whole schtick.They use anti-magic to restrain their abilities and use them for low-risk grunt work such as agriculture. The idea is that this tag is a complete shithole that is barely keeping its head above water, and takes it out on the race that the tyrants that destroyed everything were of. Also, not all of the alicorns were tyrants. Some were completely innocent or were even born into slavery long after the tyrants were overthrown.>All that's left is cheating with brainwashing spells that work because they do.Alicorns can still feel pain and still have emotions.>At this point, just mothball them in concrete and call it a day.I did consider sealing them away in a steel and concrete vault like nuclear waste as a way of dealing with them (or at least just the most evil ones) once enslaving them was no longer necessary.
>>43193032>Twilight Theory, and the evil diarchyThose are April Fools content, you absolute retard. There is a difference between actual content and literal jokes.
>>43193144They're still mostly decent content, and even if you ignore them, it's still two routes with tyrannical alicorns in a setting with very few alicorns (three routes if you count the shitty unfinished FOE submod), so why not have a shithole that's a reversal?
>>43193162Because there are only five alicorns in the entire existence right now, and only two of those can go mad. And even if they go mad, they can still have at least one path each where they put the well-being of their ponies first.
>>43193170Yeah, of the five canon alicorns, two of them can become tyrannical. Now imagine a tag in this mod where there are enough alicorns to make up a reasonable minority instead of just a handful of them.
>>43193453That is impossible. Because alicorns are not a race. They are just ascended form of ponies, tied specifficaly to Equestria. They don't exist anywhere else in the world.
>>43193484Flurry was born as an alicorn, and I'm pretty sure Celestia and Luna were also born as alicorns.

>New air technologyNice.>Early magical infantry equipment for MaretaniaInteresting. I hope that it ends up being a bit like a magic BOS if it ever gets content.
>7>Slidefag is black
Time to boot up the game again.
>>43194964good
>>43194624Maretania and karkadannistan getting a formable and that early magic company raises a suspicion for me that real content is not that far from seeing the light, remember that in harmonycon panel we already got teased with aestltonia content
>>43194624If I remember correctly they were supposed to be a magic academy mixed with SCP Foundation>>43195452I cant wait to play Shahanshah and subdue Aestlonia and then push out against Yetis and Zebras.
>>43194589beeg
>>43195476>If I remember correctly they were supposed to be a magic academy mixed with SCP FoundationI see. I mixed it up with the BOS because they are autistically focused on keeping dangerous military technology (especially WMDs) out of the wrong hands, and from the end of the first game onwards, they reintroduce less dangerous technology to the wasteland.
>>43194811sad
>>43196223that sounds nice
>>43194964What nation?
Theyll be doing a stream soon.
>>43198217For what tags?
>>43196749>8Very sad.
Is it just me, or have recent updates made Equestria much less likely to accept Greneclyf's trade request even if the player improved relations to the maximum?
I'll be hosting an EAW game this Sunday at 18:30 CET.
The Griffonian Republic's content was old, but complete. It didn't need a rework, especially not a shit TNO-style minigame.There are several tags even in Griffonia that aren't actually finished and need new content, such as the Riverlands and Wingfried's Hellquill.
>>43199916I am sad that Cyrus left to fuck trad girls, instead of finishing the Ost-Griffonian Empire content.
>>43199965Good for him, but couldn't he have published his notes or at least have had someone else on the developer team finish the content?
>>43199916>Wingfried's HellquillHow is it not complete?
>>43200004You prepare and declare war and then that's it. The war itself is the content. There's nothing after that. Not even any epilogue content. You would think that literally bird Hitler would have something about genocide or anything other than giving the Riverlands a debuff after he actually gets his war.
>>43200029To be fair, just making it about Genocide is quite boring. I always liked the idea of the original foudner of Tales of Griffonia, where Wingfried had an adopted pony son. It certainly gave him a level of complexity.
>>43200053I mean, he's literally bird Hitler, so it's just the first thing that came to my mind. My point is that any content (even just some epilogue focuses) would be better than nothing.
>>43200117I mean, Hitler wasn't too into actual genocide; he was more into his weird race theories and hierarchies between races, slavery and esotericism. Genocide should be more something Sturmgriffen do.
Of course, if we go with Cyrus´s original idea for OstGriffonia. You would still kill a lot of ponies. Because it was supposed to be that Reformisten manage to pacify Lake City, and everything else is Partisan Royale.
How does this make you feel Sungliderfag?
>>43200248And yet, you have him as a field marshal.
>>43200248Unlike you, I'm not a faggot.I already told you that I wish that there were more potential leader options for the first pan-Griffonian elections. I just used Sunglider as an example. I only played one playthrough of the Griffonian Republic before the rework and one playthrough after the rework.
>>43201108>I only played one playthrough of the Griffonian Republic before the rework and one playthrough after the rework.Wow, and yet you try to speak like an expert. I played all the paths before rework.
>>43201464I played all the paths of the other tags, but I couldn't be bothered to play all the paths of the Griffonian Republic. I never claimed to be an expert on the tag. I just said that it's a better option than the various shitholes on the continent.
>>43201504Ok fag
Ok so the new Herzland reconstruction is absolute bulshtiAll the decisions are just you incuring maluses, it is not even a game of give and take. It is not giving you anything good in return. I just decided to decision.nochecks it halfway through.
>>43201508no u>>43201609Yeah, it isn't even fun. I get that it's meant to slow the Griffonian Republic down and give the other tags more time to prepare before it steamrolls them, but I would rather it just restrict warmongering until after the military and economic focus trees were complete instead. It doesn't even make sense in terms of writing because the republic already has its own bureaucracy and already spent the first part of its focus tree cleaning itself up. Revolutions don't happen overnight. The republic's entire backstory is that they have spent 30 years preparing to return after a counterrevolution forced them out.
>>43201618>The republic's entire backstory is that they have spent 30 years preparing to returnThat one though makes no sense in game. They SUPPOSEDLY spent 30 years of preparing. Yet you have to spend the entire first year dealing with warlordism, risk of fmaine which doesnt even make sense considering Cloudbury geography, underindustrailisation, and language issues. The focus tree acts like the revolution happened just yesterday and not 30 years ago. Chaing managed to consolidate China in much shorter time before the Japanese attacked. It is comical how bad Republican starting siatuation is. It makes it sound like Kemerskai did absolutely nothing in those 30 years and was just jacking it off to the tricolour. I am astounded that the rework didn't address this, considering it was an issue pointed out by me and Sig already years ago.
>>43201738Apparently it was originally conceived purely as an adversary for the Griffonian Empire, so it starts off extremely weak and gradually gets stronger and stronger until it ends up being (in my opinion) the best option for the continent. The rework was probably an attempt to add balance for the sake of players of various minor nations that get stomped, but it ended up just breaking a lot of things, including the writing.
>>43201778What is that response? That has nothing to do with what I am talking about.

This retard deserves to get eaten by the deer or Barrad or Wittenland or the River Federation or all of them one after another.
>>43205108Why?
>>43205136His war memorial stuff is just "war is bad because lots of people die horribly", which is very shallow and lacks nuance, especially for a country that has to constantly fend off attacks from insane mages to the north, slaving Vikings to the east, and potentially overzealous knights to the west. If it was a war memorial for Hellquill or Longsword, then it might make some sense, but as it is, it's just retarded.

>>43205712No u>>43206141It depends on the context. War is a terrible thing, but it is sometimes necessary. Lûa just goes "war bad" and ignores all nuance.>>43206468Lenin was a gymbro, but he was still a fucking commie.
>>43206513>Lûa just goes "war bad" and ignores all nuanceYou are such a stupid hylic. The entire point of his path is about building an actual real Republic out of the collection of refugees that is Kása at the start. Something that you should consider, given everything you have said thus far. You clearly are too stupid to read and only look at the surface. The war isn't even the main point, because all Kásan paths go to war with Barrad to end the madness there. If you want to go on a jihad against all the tyrants of the world, then you should have played Altu.
>>43206520You dumb LOTR-worshipping faggot. I'm not talking about warmongering. I'm talking about how a country that has to constantly fend off attacks from its hostile neighbours should have a more nuanced view on war that just "war bad because lots of people die horribly". An actual real republic that has no interest in warmongering still needs to defend itself in defensive wars because there is a difference between defensive and offensive wars. Lûa just insults his population's intelligence.
>>43206559Why do you hate LOTR?
>>43206559You absolute hylic. Lua path is literally about that. He rebuilds Kása into an actual functioning republic and he also defends it. Did you literally not read any events or focus descriptions? There are multiple focuses stating that they will be defending their freedom. That is literally what they do when Barrad, Gryphus, Deer and Riverlands come for their land, potentially. And yes, war is bad because a lot of people die, that is the most important reason why it would be bad. If people didn't die in it, then nobody would care.
>open wiki because I am lazy>literally can find Lua focus tree there>focus tree literally has a focus called IN DEFENCE OF LIBERTY and ASTERION MODEL>retard claims that Lua is not ready to defend the republic and its creatures
>>43206578You absolute LOTR-worshipping faggot. I did read all of the events and the focuses. I literally did a playthrough right before I started this discussion. That's why I know that Lûa is a retard.>And yes, war is bad because a lot of people die, that is the most important reason why it would be bad. If people didn't die in it, then nobody would care.Are you German? The Germans never really learned why what they did in WW2 was wrong. There's a reason why people in defensive wars rally around the flag and are willing to fight and honour the fallen as heroes, while people in offensive wars protest and draft dodge and see the fallen as retards that died for nothing.
>>43206597You dumb faggot. Read the events, especially those to do with the war memorials.
>>43206599>There's a reason why people in defensive wars rally around the flag and are willing to fightThat path is literally about being in a defensive war. You literally can't even stay consistent in the things you are complaining about. >Are you German? The Germans never really learned why what they did in WW2 was wrongGerman people are the biggest detractors of offensive wars nowadays. What are you even talking about? >Read the events, especially those to do with the war memorials.Unlike you, I know how to read and I have read All quiet at the western front.
>>43206709>That path is literally about being in a defensive war. You literally can't even stay consistent in the things you are complaining about.Dumb faggot. You're pretending that the existence of a military tree means that the writing isn't just "war bad" without nuance.>German people are the biggest detractors of offensive wars nowadays. What are you even talking about?No they aren't. They support Ukraine defending itself, but they made themselves reliant on Russian fossil fuels. They destroyed their civilian industry with bad energy policy, then converted one of their civilian factories to make air defense components for Israel. All of their opposition to war is just "war bad" without any nuance.>Unlike you, I know how to read and I have read All quiet at the western front.Unlike you, I know how to read and I have reading comprehension. You're pretending that a retarded war like WW1 is the same as defensive wars. You're just a dumb liberal faggot that is allergic to all nuance.
>>43206808>existence of a military tree means that the writing isn't just "war bad" without nuance.It is in the political tree, retard. >nuanceYou dont even know the meaning of that word. >retarded war like WW1 is the same as defensive warslol lmao, you are such a lolcow
>anontard talks about nuance>he literally has to lie and omitt truthsThe event also very clearly states that formally, Barrad is part of Wittenland so going into war would be declaring war on Wittenland and River Coalition by proxy. I am so tired of always dunking on the tard with my huge fucking brain. Well, at least I will replay Kása, been a while since I did a chill game in the corner as them.
>>43207121Kasa is nice.
>>43206833>It is in the political tree, retard.Because if you actually read the event, then you would know that it's about how the army shouldn't be used by the president to declare martial law and arrest the legislature. You dumb secondary.>You dont even know the meaning of that word.no u>lol lmao, you are such a lolcowno u>>43207121>he literally has to lie and omitt truthsIgnoring the spelling mistake, I very clearly specified the events that were to do with the war memorials. Barrad isn't guaranteed by Wittenland and the River Coalition. The only thing that happens if Barrad is defeated or its territory is held by any country other than Wittenland is the country gets an event where Wittenland asks for its land back, which basically just serves to clean up border gore after peace conferences. The only exception is if Honoria takes over (which doesn't happen in historical) and attacks Kasa using their occupation of Barrad as an excuse because her route gives free wargoals.
game goood
>>43206576LOTR is just an upper middle class English gentleman seething about industry. Some retards base their entire worldview on it.
>>43207839>how the army shouldn't be used by the president to declare martial law and arrest the legislatureThis literally implies the existence of the army as well as unyielding commitment to the ideals of freedom and democracy. >The only thing that happens if Barrad is defeated or its territory is held by any country other than Wittenland is the country gets an event where Wittenland asks for its land back, which basically just serves to clean up border gore after peace conferences. The only exception is if Honoria takes over (which doesn't happen in historical) and attacks Kasa using their occupation of Barrad as an excuse because her route gives free wargoals.You really are a retard. Just the fact that you have to talk from the mechanical standpoint because you literally can't comprehend the story or to read anything. Every single Wittenland path will eventually invade down south to reclaim Barrad. Honoria and Wulfric will do it 100%, and White Star with Republicans can do it too. Not to mention that Nimbusia can also invade Kása.So antagonising River Coalition is in fact not in your best interests. >LOTR is just an upper middle class English gentleman seething about industry.It is not even remotely close to what the story is about. You are simply a hylic who can't understand anything with depth. Plus, bringing up LOTR out of nowhere, when I have not mentioned it once in this discussion just shows how little argumentative power you actually have.
>>43208553Not really.
The Republic was established in south griffonia

>>43208584>This literally implies the existence of the army as well as unyielding commitment to the ideals of freedom and democracy.The tag starts with a few shitty units and one of the first things that happens is the current head of state retires and elections are held. Your argument has nothing to do with my point.>You really are a retard. Just the fact that you have to talk from the mechanical standpoint because you literally can't comprehend the story or to read anything.No, you retard. It shows that I have actually read the events and played the game. Lûa thinks that volunteers going to try to stop the insane mages that control Barrad will cause Wittenland and the River Coalition to declare war, even though in reality, Wittenland has lost control of Barrad and it knows that Barrad is causing trouble for its neighbours. Honoria will attack Kása using its occupation of Barrad as an excuse, but the others will take into account the reality of the situation and merely demand the return of its territory. Lûa only thinks of legal paper instead of the actual reality of the situation.>Every single Wittenland path will eventually invade down south to reclaim Barrad. Honoria and Wulfric will do it 100%, and White Star with Republicans can do it too.Irrelevant to Kása. The Wittenland focuses even show that if if someone else has already defeated Barrad, then they merely demand the return of the territory instead of invading south.>Not to mention that Nimbusia can also invade Kása.Irrelevant. Nimbusia attacks Kása and the deer for a land grab, not because of their actions.>So antagonising River Coalition is in fact not in your best interests.No, you retard, attacking Barrad does not antagonise the River Coalition.>It is not even remotely close to what the story is about.Yes it is. You simply lack reading comprehension.>You are simply a hylic who can't understand anything with depth. Plus, bringing up LOTR out of nowhere, when I have not mentioned it once in this discussion just shows how little argumentative power you actually have.No, I mentioned LOTR because (ignoring arguments in previous threads) even your insults show that your entire worldview is based solely on LOTR and books by Nazi collaborator faggots.
>>43209199Nice borders.
Any tags where you play completely differently to most tags? The Arcturian Order is a nice change of pace, but I already played it.
>>43210458Romau? Submit to Empire and help it reconquer the continent. Maybe Ferdinand with his Herzschmerz. Skynavia for puppet zerg rush. Fascist Avian for redrawing the continent entirely. Princely Lake City and trying to unite Federation peacefully. Changelings but only declaring war after you have a full army of heavy tanks, superheavy tanks in your infantry and land cruisers.

I'll be hosting an EAW game this Sunday at 18:30 CET. This will be a coop game as the Equestria faction (either coop as Equestria or play an ally) against a buffed changelings and allies + Serov Stalliongrad.
I am trying the new Loudbark path and I must say. Bronzehill is still incredibly shit. It inexplicably takes even longer to pick a path now. And you still dont get any actual bonuses to take on the Empire. You have no manpower,no industry. You cant utilize the trollhounds anymore. It just really isn't fun to play. Meanwhile, the Republic unified all of the north, and Aquileia ate resurgent Arantiga. It really feels like the devs just dont even play the game and playtesters are utterly useless.
Like, I like the spirit of going against a much stronger opponent. *insert the Major´s speech here* but you still need to be able to actually inflict damage on those stronger opponents.
>>43212454I haven't played Bronzehill in a while, but it was quite fun. The Griffonian Empire is the first major hurdle because it will declare war on you quite quickly, but if you play it right, then you can take over the Herzlands and have the Herzlands' industry and resources to take on the Griffonian Republic and the Aquelian Republic. Fighting a two-front war against them is difficult, but possible if you play it right.If you don't mind messing with the custom game settings, then you can give Bronzehill an early leg-up by setting the various Herzlands states to become harmonist republics, which weakens the empire. However, doing so does strengthen the Griffonian Republic when Bronzehill eventually ends up at war against the Griffonian Republic and the Aquelian Republic.
>>43211752>9
Griffonia unified at last, all thanks to regent Loudbark
Ready to stand against all those who oppose it
>>43213399Good work.
>>43213395Wholesome.
What's the most efficient way to stomp the Windigos as the Arcturians? I win at a cost of tens of thousands of manpower lost because I just add logistics and hospitals to the base knight and peasant templates.
>>43214862just sit on your forts and let them grind on youthey have no factories so eventually they will wear themselves out.
>>43214887That's what I usually do. The problem is that they eventually just stop attacking. It's when I go on the offensive that I start actually losing manpower, but at that point, losing manpower isn't really a problem because the game is effectively finished anyway. Should I spam CAS or add anti-tank guns or something? I'm just looking for ways to optimise.
>>43214903You can probably get some airships and cas them yea
I played a little bit longer, and helped Rzorbeak get revange on bats and establish a friendly stratocracy in north zebrica. Also, reclaimed New Mareland and pushed Equestrians out of Griffonia.
I rarely do land cruisers, but considering I am militaristic Empire, I thought that I might as well. Not like the resources are an issue at this point.
>>43214931Landcruisers are cool, but sadly by the time you get them, the big wars are already over.
>>43215753I did specifically wait until I got them in my Verány run. I let Kemerskai die like a failiure he is, and let Empire fight bunch of wars to weaken itelself.
I specifically decided to do the Verány run because of this image
>>43215767France should have just built that to win.
>>43216380France should have extended the Maginot line (including the Ardennes forest), spammed anti-tank guns, and researched and made use of radio.
>>43216380French and Germans were literally the biggest proponents of building land cruisers, anon-kun.
>>43216765What other retards supported land cruisers? What retards (other than the Italians) supported light tanks? Who went all-in on medium tanks?
>>43216922Soviets were also looking into the Land Cruisers and so were British. Light tanks were done by literally everyone. Though also separation between a light and medium tnak is lot harder to define outside of the game.
>>43217065I see, but who went for medium tanks the most? I thought that the Soviets and the Americans spammed medium tanks the most.
>>43212380Lobby is up! Game will be starting at 18:30!ID: 90285302522945551PW: /mlp/Mods: Equestria at War, Player Led Peace Conferences, State Transfer Tool MPHotjoin and coop will be on.
>>43217504>soviets>medium tanksthe entire soviet doctrine was built around making cheap and disposable tanks, to which you get in, ride as far as you can, and when it breaks, you get out, leave the tank there, hop into a new one and continue. The perfidious T34 so to say.
>be Equestria>be at waroh no!
>>43218066Yeah, shitty disposable medium tanks, while the Americans had better medium tanks.
>>43218066In all fairness, the IS-1 and especially IS-2 was pretty good
>>43218066great tank
(((Windigoes)))
>Feather Bangs' tenure as Mayor, and as President, has come to an end. Who will succeed the musical heartthrob in the Equestrian Republic?
>>43219457Our Town is the next country to get a rework, right? I hope that it's good. The tag is currently just the equivalent of Tannu Tuva, so the bar is even lower than the Griffonian Republic.
>>43218130True, but those were for the very specific and critical operations. They wouldn't be used for the main frontline push, that is what T34s and so were used for. >>43219457>Worker´s ParadiseI will be disappointed if this is not Cheese Sandwich path. >dragon focus censored>looks vaguely anarchistI assume it is the dragon girl from comics
>>43219495Dev said the Our Town rework is going to come with the Stalliongrad rework>>43219611It's probably the Stirner dragon that was teased a while back
>>43219679Oh, right, I forgot that. Now I am sad. The dragon girl from comics would be a better choice.
>>43219696Isn't she a teenager though?
>>43219712What of it? Why would it stop her from being a leader?
>>43219712im pretty sure there are young leaders in the game
I only hate thestrals because of the content of their character.
>>43220532What does that even mean? If you hate Lunarists just play the the southern revolt and let the Moonspeakers elect a non-Lunar leader.
I was looking through the Zar-Hay source code to find the conditions for some eventHoly basedness, the source code is a treasure trove
>>43220680holy based
>>43184946The biggest issue with this mod is that I swear 75% of the team is writers and the reason why it doesn't update as fast as it used to is because they have writers bloc.
>>43221004I thought that it was artists because the art is always good even if the writing is bad.
>>43220554I mean they're all cringe and a fifth column.
>>43221846They are not, you should all the more so play the non-nightmarist southeastern bats.
>>43221004>75% of the team is writers and the reason why it doesn't update as fast as it used to is because they have writers bloc.Only half true, the issue is that most people are writers and idea guys and there are only handful of coders. And all the more so, even less can code well.People like Cyrus, Psody and Yard who could both design content and code are rare.
>>43222006Which tag is that? I haven't played the Equestrian civil war in a while.
>>43222105Southeastern bats
>>43222126NMS?
>>43222012Sounds like they need to have the writers start coding then, coding should really be half the job. Maybe remove some idea guys, they are as useful as the community. Cause waiting a year and a half for three nations is kind of err
>>43222126NMS are barely any better than the Lunarists. They're still traitors that won't rejoin without EQS sending them an ultimatum or defeating them. They're also just a collection of weird tribal cultists.
>Here's your wholesome bat bro
>>43223042He is choosen by the Moon, he shall vanquish the Nightmare and bring true freedom to the bats
>>43223042>moonatik
>>43223263Blame the EAW developers for letting him on the team.
>>43223263Moonatik is a great example of how liberals want to torture, rape, murder, and do various other crimes to other people, and how modern politics is mostly just the Epstein "right" vs the Maxwell "left". He even simps for Starmer, despite the fact that even British left-wingers hate him and the Labour party distance themselves from him.
>>43223945Why are you such a dumb pansy? I don't give a shit. His art is really good.
>>43223976Why are you such a retarded faggot that seethes about everything? He is a skilled artist, but he's still a cringe faggot.
>>43223991Because, I don't particularly care about dev political takes. I only care what they do for the mod. If you want to seethe about devs inserting their irl political takes then you should do it about actual devs like Caspy who single-handedly ruined Kirins because of it. Moonatik is literally just artists.
>>43224175I'm talking about his art because I went through art tagged with him as the artist and a lot of it is cringe. You're the one that lets your IRL politics affect whether or not you like a tag, while I just play tags and routes from the lens of in-universe logic and conditions because it's a fictional setting with fictional non-human characters.
>>43224361Except, nothing about Kirins makes sense from in universe logic. It is completely and utterly contradicting how they are portrayed in the show, in favour of shitty "PRC is le bad" message.
>>43224417One small village does not make for a good HOI4 nation.
>>43224417EAW is a fanfiction that is just "WW2 but in MLP". A lot of things are different from canon. I'm talking about in-universe of the mod.
>>43224914not for everything
Sex minigame when?
>>43224857I am talking about concept. The concept from the show is still way better than what EAW did. It could easily be expanded to nation size. Just the fact that they made the Silence nonmagical is shit on its own. Furthermore, it makes no sense there would be anything like that, if Kirins can easily control going between Kirin-Nirik, as shown in Lan Kir. The entire point of why it worked in the show was that they couldnt actually control this shift, which is why them getting enraged was actually dengerous. >>43224914Yes, and Griffonia still manages to still craft a better in-universe narrative while staying faithful to the show. The griffons are still shown as being cuntish, contentious and greedy. There is still an actual Griffonian Empire which is at start in decline. The idol of Boreas is still lost. And Grover II is remembered as great unifier whose consequences are still felt. Kirins are simply shit and show why someone should never just seethe about something when deving a nation.
>>43226166And Equestria doesn't have aircraft carriers in the show.Griffons being cuntish, contentious and greedy shows why republics are popular there. Any power-hungry cunt can just run for election, and the Griffons' greed can be allayed by industrialisation and reducing poverty.Kiria's civil war does show why them getting enraged is dangerous. The Silence is unsustainable, but messing up the 3.5 year plan causes a terrible civil war that is best avoided. Also, I found the Kirin buffs to be better than the Nirik buffs, but the Nirik research should really be nothing but retard bait. I agree that seething while developing a nation or route is bad and cringe.
>>43226235>And Equestria doesn't have aircraft carriers in the show.But they do. They literally use clouds for travelling. Airships and air balloons, and they literally have sky cities. They went far beyond just aircraft carriers.
>>43226240Those are airships, air balloons, and clouds, which are all light, not big heavy ships carrying airplanes, which are heavy. Even the Cloud Based Naval Infrastructure special project has to be developed by Equestria and every other tag.
>>43226141I would kill for a nsfw submod

>>43226964
Shit update.
>>43227940y?
>>43226450same
>>43227947Because it is. Every game in decline because of discord retards ends up focusing on making it "balanced" instead of adding actual content.
>>43226958>When communist leader refuses to submit to the Duchess, he now swaps ideology to Democratic Socialism rather than keeping Socialist Monarchism.Socilist Monarchism actually makes more sense for Herzland. I dont actually remember what he does if he unites Herzland, but it is weird that there are not more communists and Democrats who keep Grover as Emperor/King.
>>43230311There are quite a few routes that are monarchists, and more routes wouldn't hurt. The issue is that only Bronzehill are near uniformly monarchist, while the rest of the continent (including the Herzlands) range from supporting the monarchy to hating it.
>>43223945>liberalsI'm preety sure he's an open communist
>>43230961I recently learned that he was an EAW artist and I wanted to see what other art he had drawn. One of his most recent "art" (3809344 on derpibooru) is about liberalism. A lot of his art is just gay rape, torture, murder, etc. because that's all that liberalism boils down to.
>>43230958That is the issue. Herzland should have lot more democrats who want to keep the constitutional monarchy. Even socialists should be monarcho socialists. It should be actual Repiblicans and non monarcho socialists that should be minority.
>>43231073I meant that unlike the dogs, most griffons don't give a shit whether they have a monarchy or a republic.
>>43231119They very clearly dont, considering how much importance is put on the imperial reconquest, republican struggle and aquileian and wingbardian regional dominance and so on. The entire griffonia is a battle of different ideologies.
>>43231137The politicians, yes, because they can see that the Empire is declining and (like all politicians) they all have their own ideas for the future. The public, on the other hand, just want governance that isn't shit.
>>43231179Hoi4 literally works on the great men theory, so the people are fully on board with the ideas the politicians have.
>>43231238That's a lot of different ideologies that the public can support.
>>43231238What ideology is the pony of shadows? What politician or political movement is it based off of?
Is there a more satisfying feeling than seeing changelings overextend, cutting them off and deleting 30 divisions at once?
>>43232635t. Rockhoof
Our Town is getting lots of teasers recently.
>>43234632As it is, it's just the equivalent of Tannu Tuva. They will have to buff it by a lot and add a lot of content to make it worth playing.
We're getting closer and closer to Equestria rework. It's nowhere close, though, because Solar Empire is a part of it, and nobody even began working on it
>>43235195Equestria is old, but complete. They won't rush the mod's titular tag, so they will just keep working on it for six gorillion years until it is finished.
>>43235195>rethink the academiaAbsolutely disgusting, literally the worst part of the last seasons. It shouldn't ever be referenced in EAW. Honestly, they should just integrate Pax Solaris for Solar Empire submod. It finished a lot of stuff.
>>43235195>It's nowhere close, though, because Solar Empire is a part of it, and nobody even began working on itNot necessarily, they could in theory just switch to the old Solar Empire focus tree if you go that route. That said I think a bit of Solar Empire stuff was teased a while ago.
>>43235719>Not necessarily, they could in theory just switch to the old Solar Empire focus tree if you go that route.I don't think they're gonna release the flagship of the mod with an updated harmonic tree and the old Solar tree.
>>43235851I mean, they very well could. Solar Empire is its own thing. It really depends how in-depth the harmonic Equestria is going to be.
>>43235195Nice.
dont die
Another glorious victory for Zarcids
