This weekend we did a PvP focused game; Equestria, New Mareland and Crystal Empire VS Changelings and Bears
Cadence sent volunteers to deer, unfortunately the conflict ended before any benefits could be made.
Equestria intelligence could not be matched by the Changeling VOPS. (Missed a picture of Changeling's top operative being captured)
>HI ANON I LOST NINE ENTIRE MILITARY FACTORIES!Something strange happened in late 09 Somehow after declaring independence Princess Cadence somehow made her military factories disappear. Clearly the military factories were actually a large team of skilled VOPS infiltrators appearing together as a factory.(fortunately this issue was fixed with a quick rehost)
The changelings soon began to mass on the border and ponies began to dig in.
Falling back in good order to preserve ponypower and divisions was essential.
New Mareland's tanks tried to continually breakthrough the changeling lines with no positive results in the early stage of the war.
Unfortunately the Changelings made a breakthrough past Vanhoover.
Frontline, shortly after hearth's warming.
Changelings kept trying to make encirclements, we kept pulling back but not always in time for all units.
The New Mareland armored core was nearly wiped out here; fortunately most managed to escape.
>>40329607>Deathstack of 12 tanksRookie move.
Shortly after the escape of the New Mareland tank corps the majority of the Crystal Army was encircled and trapped against the northern mountains. Stalliongrad arrived to stand with their fellow ponies but they could do little to turn the tide.
>How to confuse VOPS about your division templates with this one weird trickCrystal city fell, and shortly after Stalliongrad as well.
Nearly got an encirclement on some troops that bit off too much.
>>40328707Prostate lol
A pretty bloody war, but with new mareland safely evacuated home perhaps there is a chance for rebellion? (not likely if beaky invades NM)Good game guys.
I THINK DAYBREAKER SUCKS
>>40329703>NMM enjoyerGTFO
I was the changeling player in the last game. Sadly, I forgot to take screenshots as I was too busy microing a bunch of tanks, but I figured I'd post the tank designs I was using throughout the war.
>>40330206As you can see, I sort of used the same philosophy just upgraded with time. They did pierce New Mareland tanks while being super cheap, which worked quite well in my favor hence my and Polar Bear victory.
>>40330210
>>40330216And here's the template I was using. I pretty much had 8 of these ready at the start of the war near the end of 1010.
>>40328847Anyone know if they're just adding these without changing the already existing techs?
>>40329679Well at least Stalliongrad's dead lolThanks for the recap Lyrabro

Daybreaker? Laughable The Day will surrender itself to the Night and the Moon will reign forever!
>>40332225
>>40332558Damn, nightmare moon is heavy.
>>40332558Literally in a dream.
>>40332225Baaam boooom straight to the moon
>>40332832Literally true for Daybreaker entirely.Regardless, Celestia is more powerful than Luna, so why wouldn't an evil Celestia be more powerful than an evil Luna?
>>40332225>>40332548>>40332558>>40332832>>40332847>>40332895Sorry moonniggers and sunfags, but the show is about overcoming difficulties and differences together as a team
>>40332895To be fair, I prefer the evil Diarchy. Something about Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon oppressing ponies together is very appealing. I just like the concept of Fallen Divinity.
>>40333025I don’t know, I’m one of those who would prefer the so-called "dejavu"
>>40332895>Celestia is more powerful than LunaCitation fucking neededAnd no, we're not using the "bigger ass = more power" rule, fuck you.
>>40328475I like the juxtaposition of a smiling leader with bombers and destruction in this poster. Any more like it?Also, I want interesting commie nations in Griffonia.
>>40328475UN. THE SUN. THE SUN. THE SUN. THE S
so, where in the fuck is the land with all the goats and grogar located in EaW? is it Tartarus? or an unexplored continent?
>>40333619The Star Father can meet them.
>>40333619There's a region near Trotselvania called the north and south "Goatcuses" I assumed they were just nationless.

It is almost the end of summer, where are the Kirins? Did the devs lie again?
>>40333963They have 10 days until it's a lie.

>there's no Dutch pony representationI cant even think of a name for a ponified Dutch placeNemarelands? no.Maretrecht kinda works, Marebrant and Maresterdam tooI just think they're neatbut also because I want some ongezellig references
I did another nation in the A-Z challenge that I'm doing. This time, it was Dread League.Dread League was more fun then I expected, but it wasn't that great. Sadly, due to some navel mismanagement (don't turn on automatic split off if you don't have total navel dominance or the enemy will hunt down your ships as they get to your fleet) I somehow lost most of my navy despite getting some pretty great victories and I could not invade because of that. Since I pretty much owned all of Griffonia I could have filled up its coastlines with dockyards and eventually build up to outnumber them, but at this point it was almost 1030 and ridiculously slow so I really didn't want to bother. Final victory was pretty much only a matter of time at that point.Pros:>Surprisingly fun gameplay once the war vs the world starts if you prepare for it.>The fact that you actually get to kill off core populations and turn them into ponypower really makes you feel like your playing as necromancers.>It essentially sets you up for a WC as the main objective.>Actually interesting story stuff.Cons?>Clearly outdated. Filled to the brim with long focuses.>Stupidly strict research restrictions make it neigh impossible to do anything but mass infantry spam with little to no support equipment.>You do get a decision that buffs mil production, but nothing for dockyards, which really should be needed if you start with no navy and can get into war with potentially a full on victorious harmony pact in late game.>Very slow and boring start and also because you need so much time to prepare, your pretty much left with nothing to do for huge chunks of the run.Overall, not a very good nation these days, but still surprisingly fun. I think there are more fun nations if you really want to do a WC, but also far worse. At least this pushes you towards just that. If you really want to try it out, I would advise not attacking early, even if it seems like waiting will make it worse. Remember, you can mobilize entire populations of states that you don't even core and considering the amount of enemies that you'll be facing, you will need a massive wall of divisions to stop them. I used 10 battalion infantry, which with mass mobilization was only 11 width. That worked wonders alongside sheer numbers. Also be very careful with your navy. Don't do stupid shit like I did and just focus on getting to the other continents. If you can get a good landing you should be able to overwhelm them with sheer numbers. Just don't let them kill your navy or you'll get stuck with a slow ass gamespeed like I was.Next time will be Duchy of Talouse.
>>40334922Actually decent buffs. Might not even want to fire her.
>>40334492The Dutch are represented with the Griffons in costal Feathesia and Skyfall. Makes sense given how the griffons are greedy and sneaky.
Sombra did an oopsie
>>40335185Who the fuck are those generals?
>>40335201>Who the fuck are those generals?Feathasian ones
bump
>>40335185What a chad. Imagine not fighting everyone at once.
>>40334492Feathisia is a pun on Frisia. Gryphus has an overtly Dutch path, and Feathisian colonists have at least three nations in South Eastern Zebrica that mirror Boers and Dutch Indies.
>>40334728I agree with thisI played Dread League once and the campaign lasted for 20hrs
Did another A-Z. This time, it was Duchy of Talouse.Overall a very fun nation. I decided to go communist for no particular reason and it was pretty fun as far as commie routes go. The tree gave me wargoals and cores on the Karthinian Pact memebers and for some reason, I got into war with Sicemon once I declared on Wingbardy. They also managed to beat Asterion before I got to them so I kind of own most of the south. Pros:>Nice story bits. Clearly a lot of effort was put into the writing.>Good coring potential and even gives you a nice name and color change once you beat Wingbardy's faction.>Overall fun gameplay. you start off weak and your enemies are stronger then you, but you have a very good defensive position and plenty of growth potentialCons:>Not a lot to do early game.I really did like this nation, although I may be biased after playing Dread League, which was severely outdated in comparison. It had a fun war with nice story and was an overall pleasent experience. I would advise trying out Talouse.Next up will be the one and only Equestria.
>>40335185Fuck, what the hell... I wish that when they remade Crystal Empire, Sombra's pact could include not only Chrysalis, Sinester and Nightmare Moon, but also Daybreaker and Sirens...
>>40336653I really think that Nightmare Moon should be removed from it. Neither her nor Daybreaker make sense in it, considering the goal of the Pact is to take Equestrian lands. Sirens would be nice addition, they can already work with Chrysalis afterall.
>>40336653What are those three ladies planning on doing? O_O
>>40336653an unholy alliance between these three to destroy griffonia and zebrica would be kino
>>40336653I like that idea, a pact of unholy evil out for conquest and blood
>>40336653>>40337397>>40337509That's stupid. They hate each other and have goals that are diametrically opposed. Not only that, but the one thing that two of them have in common (Chrysalis and Nightmare Moon hating Celestia) is one-sided. Nightmare Moon doesn't need Chrysalis at all given how she's able to handily defeat Celestia entirely on her own. Meanwhile Chrysalis was only barely able to beat Celestia when she had the power of the strongest love behind her. Adding Daybreaker to the mix only makes it even worse. She already explicitly wants to kill Nightmare Moon and absolutely has the power to do so. She'd probably have Chrysalis's head mounted on the wall in her throne room.
>>40337686I like the idea better than getting another furfag nation
>>40337766What kind of response is that?
>>40337769Bait for a redditor I'm guessing.
>>40337686Buuuh, another boring egghead. When will you realize, that anons could care less about this "deep and serious" lore of funny mode on funny game? If you want realistic politics - go outside and run for office, not wtite posts itt.
Spoonfeed me on creamapi what it is and what it isn't.
>>40337686>no dude this needs to be muh super duper serious and pragmatic game of thrones game you cant have cool shit like a Tripartite Pact between the three biggest bitches on Equus that doesn't make any sense bro.
>>40337810Its a tool used for pirating DLC's.
>>40337810It lets you enable DLCs for a game even if the DLCs are pirated. So you can own a legitimate copy of the base game and have all the functionalities of that (like multiplayer and the workshop) while also getting to have all the DLCs without needing to buy them. It doesn't actually give you the DLCs though. With some games the DLCs exist in the files but are just disabled until you buy them. Creamapi will set all of them to being enabled. In other games (like HoI4) the DLCs aren't there and you need to download them from somewhere else manually. Creamapi will then put those into the game and enable them as though they were normal DLCs.
>>40337793>>40337826>fun is when wacky meme pathsParadox and its consequences have been a disaster for the strategy gaming genre.It's even worse considering that you're advocating for turning the entire continent into one big hugbox, literally removing the primary gameplay.
>>40337863>Nooo, you must kill, maim, betray, exterminate!!!!Tell me honestly, are you by the chance a warhammer manchild and/or darkfantasy fan?
>>40337893>>Nooo, you must kill, maim, betray, exterminate!!!!>in the eaw thread>with a chrysalis flagIronic.
>>40337905Nope, it is just sad how people reject freedom of choice and constantly try to force the whole world to work according to their wishes.
>>40337893>>40337927It's a fucking wargame you retard, I want to actually engage in war.
>>40337945Imbecile, what is stoping you from doing this? If you do not like this path, then just don't do it. It is really that simple, you weak-minded fool.
>>40328475
>>40337893If you want to spend the entire time reading events about a continent ruled by them then you should just go read a fanfic instead.
>>40337975when the plot armor wears off
>>40337995*arbitrarily wears off
>>40338016And?
>>40338032No other country suffers from it. It's just a weird hatewank. Hellquil can do full Generalplan Ost to the riverlands and be more successful than the Changelings long term somehow. It doesnt make a ton of sense. The honest answer is that the mod makers wanted to copy tno and decided to do a 1 for 1 just sped up. A lot of nations in this mod benefit from plot armor, but none actually seem to be actually punished for winning like the Changelings are. It's a forced meme.
>>40338041True.Death to plot armor.
>>40338041What's funny is Manehattan can beat the pony resistance and become a great power in the Celestial Sea region. If you're lucky enough you can take the dragons, Haukland, Vedina, and New Mareland and make them your puppets and break from the shadow of the greater Changeling nation.
>>40338048My favorite part is that Chrysalis just kind of lets it happen even though she's supposed to be full egomaniac by that point. Lol. Based Queen Lilac tho.
>>40337826Tripartite pact only works if it is Sombra, Chrysalis and Sinister against Equestria. It fundamentally doesn't work if they ally Equestria. Because who the fuck are they gonna fight against. There is no great enemy to fight. Even in vanilla, half of the fun playing Axis and Japan is that you are outnumbered by diametraly stronger Soviets and Allies.Without that struggle it is boring. And not fun at all.
>>40337975It is certainly weird how it happens overnight. Like there is no progressive change of Chrysalis becoming more incomprtent. It just happens from day to day because plot now calls for it. I really hate how post war changeling content is done. I hate it all the more so because idea was interesting but execution is just horrible. And writing makes me want to scratch my eyes out. Save me Tolkien.
>>40338041Griffonian Empire is even better example. Despite subjugating the entire continent they never suffer from any resistance from subjugated nations.
>>40338133It Twilight can tell Jachs 'you're doing a good thing' even though he half-asses it all then she can accept Sonata.
>>40338150It is such a weird thing for Twilight to say that to Jachs. Like, he is still a changeling occupant and works towards making changeling rlue over ponies permanent. This is exactly why I despise Pax writing, because it literally is out of character.
Can't we have fun AND seriousness? Why does it have to be one extreme or the other?
>>40337863>fun is when wacky meme pathsYes. Have you played a HoI4 mod?
>>40338133I mean if one Siren deserves a pass it's Sonata.
>>40338205Yes, and the best and most fun paths are the ones that actually fit and that you can get immersed in rather than trying and failing to be a YTP in HOI4.
>>40338229Such as?
>>40338229>the best and most fun paths are the ones that actually fit and that you can get immersed inThis guy is VERY SERIOUS about his mappies.
>>40338258Haukland
>>40338283Yes.
>>40338193The problem is that most meme paths aren't fun, they're just reddit humor.And why do you portray fun and serious as mutually exclusive?
>>40338326I don't, other people do
>>40338076lol you do realize there's a focus in vanilla HOI4 that lets you ally the soviets as Germany and stomp the allies even harder right?
>>40338041Chiropterra falls into a similar situation after beating Hippogriffia. But after you get the local commissariat occupation law, you're basically gold. you can just set it up begin blobbing out into Maregypt or Colthage while the resistance crashes and burns. Then you get the powerful industry relocation and "enslave locals" occupation laws. (the latter sadly only works in the North Zebrica region)but yeah, the "pax chrysalica" ending is dissonant with the actions you take up as a player before it happens. Chrysalis suddenly becomers retarded. The sixth hive plan is completely ignored by Chrysalis' underlings if you choose Vanhoover as the location. (in a totalitarian state lol) Chrysalis' own advisors mock her behind her back despite her becoming basically one of the greatest conquerors in-universe and supplying her country with an endless source of love. Every character that supports Chrysalis or speaks of her positively is a bloodthirsty retard.the fact that a race of INFILTRATORS fails to control the populace is also hilariously retarded and shows clear writer bias on its own. Chiropterran thestrals destroy resistance groups in North Zebrica like it's a breeze, while a race geared towards social engineering fails to do so while having both the numbers and resources for the job.
>>40338746>Every character that supports Chrysalis or speaks of her positively is a bloodthirsty retard.And?>shows clear writer bias on its own.Pretty much everything except this is very heavily biased in favor of changelings.It's safe to say this is just regular writer retardation.
>>40338133Possible Sonata general in Maregypt?
>>40338229You are clearly a butthurt dev. But your shilling won't ammount to anything. Because simple truth is that fun things are fun. And it is backed by Bears, Tobuck, Zarantia and Sirens. As oppopsed to Coltaghe Coltva, Chital, Warzena, Chirroptera, Hippogriffia and Adelart which are just crap. I will rather havd nations that let me have fun thsn seriousness.>>40338463It is not easy at all because vanilla Allies are still jscked as fuck. Especially when US awakens. And you actually have that as a war. If Daybreaker or Nightmare join Grey pact you have nobody to fight.Only way it would make sense is if you dont ally Changelings and Stalliongrad and fight them.
>>40339442>You are clearly a butthurt dev.>your shilling
>>40339451Just calling it how it is. Nations that wank seriousness are just not fun.
>>40339515He's too busy trying to get immersed to address your points. In the game where where you just stare at a map.
>>40339524Also, if you need 101 events that usually are just pure tryhardism and don't even add anything, then it isn't immersion. Like most events are just legitimately boring, they don't even have anything insane or interesting about them, nor do they lean into some specific aesthetic. It usually just more pissing and shitting just like CK3 events
>>40339442Chiropterra's Ocean Spray path is pretty fun doe. Both Winggarden and post-defeat. Very good balance between fun and tryhardism.
>>40340076Not really, there is nothing fun about Chirroptera. It is one big waste of the initial Chaos Marines idea. And its entire lore is just dumb. There is no way they would reasonably be able to stay hidden the way things are. Especially not with that kind of coast. And Wingaarden doesn't really go deep enough. It really needs to be expanded.
>>40340103Chiropterra is unironically one of the best written nations in the game.
>>40340107No, it is not. It is horrible. My source: I read actual literature.
>>40340140So do I and I will say that it is genuinely amazing.
>>40340103they weren't completely "hidden" though. equestrian informants went in and out. (read lore note on New Ayachactli)they were also "found" by the Storm King, who decided not to waste any troops on them prior to his invasion of Hippogriffia. (thanks to Stone Palisade's fortification skills)and obviously the slave raids are well known throughout Zumidia, Warzena, Tobuck, and whatever regions they raid. especially since they're stealing zebras away by the dozens of thousands. (mentioned in the Colthage focus for alliance with Chiropterra)i can think of two reasons why they weren't invaded or subdued:>they are only occupying a tiny chunk of land prior to integrating zarantia and tobuck and would probably get curbstomped if they moved against Hippogriffia or Colthage on their own, which are the only two nations that could succesfully invade early Chiropterra>on the other hand their country is extremely well fortified and filled to the brim with zealous, well armed and highly professional legionnaires, so occupying it would be hell for the invadersequestria is another candidate, but incursion into Chiropterra even prior to their militarization would end in a bay of pigs type scenariobesides, their in-lore strength is overestimated. when they started evacuating all loyal agents and disgruntled lunarist populations out of equestria at the end of their focus tree they yield their ambitions for equus entirely.
>>40328475>>40330934>>40333963>>40334018Kirins is releasing on the 25th.
>>40340685Source?
>>40340107The whole foundation for Chiropterra is fucking stupid as hell and required bending over backwards to accommodate their existence. Fucking hell, the bat ponies being their own thing already ruins the whole point of Luna's fall from grace, making it so she had a bunch of other ponies backing her just makes it even worse.
>>40340685So after the summer ended, wow they lied again.
>>40341086Not really. It makes complete sense.
>>40341239No, the entire Moonshine opperationmakes no sense. The entire plot has to bend over backwards to make it work.
>>40341282And that's why there is a separate path if it fails. It makes total sense.
>>40341286Chiropterra takes away from the changelings. A massive espionage operation intended to inflame almost violent social unrest in Equestria and it's not a changeling operation, even though the changelings are Equestria's primary foe?
I really miss the times when i just discovered the mod in late 2017 and rediscovered it with lots of new content in 2021. Both of those times i'd play for days on end, exploring fun paths, larping and drawing nice borders. Now i wanna play ponies again but i've played all the interesting paths a thousand times now and the updates take insanely long. I'd love to play updated stalliongrad and equestria but seems like i'll have to wait a year if not more for them to come out, and the same excitement just isn't there. Yeah.
>>40341086>the bat ponies being their own thing already ruins the whole point of Luna's fall from graceI wouldn't say that. Them existing is fine, but them being a significant portion of the population is what makes it bad. If batponies actually lived mainly underground in caves (like the closest thing to canon information we have on them said) and were a tiny minority, like 1% of the population, then it would still make sense.
Chipoterra bros, it feels so good
>>40328475Which character has your favorite name? My suggestion goes for Hard Line. That is such a corny name, I wish he had a twin sister named Moderate Line.
>>40341544That's perfectly normal anon. have you tried Red Flood? Or the 1984 mod?
>>40342258Cats?
>>40341897Red Flood suffers from the same issues ankn mentioned. And lack new content updates realy killed it. It also is too limiting in what you can do and doesn't hsvd that freedom of early EaW.
>>40342258Reminds me of the game Limbo
>Tfw I've been writing loc for Kiria for 3 years and it's finally Joever
>>40343567Yea, but is the nation actually fun to play? Who even gives a shit about the amount of words.
>>40336653Sombra would genuinely have to choose between the Sirens and NMM and Chrysalis and Daybreaker. Hell I think 2/3 of Daybreaker’s paths would tell him to shove it.
>>40340076Did they actually add the rest of Ocean Spray’s Winggarden path or does it still end when you take Aris?
>>40343934Protector and God for sure. I suppose Mother is supposed to be the most pragmatic. So I guess it could be possible, as a way to avoid war and redirect Sombra´s aggression against changelings and the north.
>>40343760It's primarily done by Caspy so no, it's going to be a boring, bloated mess like everything else he's touched.
>>40344053Ok WCtranny
>>40344100What?
>>40343960i don't think they did sadly
>>40343934>>40343997Even then it would be at most a Molotov-Ribbentrop situation. Zero chance she lets a threat like that continue existing.
>>40344053Well, Fascist Avian was really fun. But yea, Changeling are kind of bloated and not fun.I am a bit scared of what I see in the teasers, but I do want to stay optimistic about Kirins. I WANT TO BELIEVE THAT THEY WILL BE FUN. *huffs hopium*
>>40344164Most likely, one could still get some fun content out of it. Both of them delaying war for later. Building up, and then having this massive conflict between a Demon King and Evil Goddess. I really want EAW devs to go on these aesthetics harder for Sombra and Daybreaker. They are critical. I NEED IT.
>>40328475Talking about whackiness, how come practically all nations are less wacky than their IRL counterparts? Where is Himmler's magic casttle and wizards? Where is the Germans turning most of Poland into a massive nature reserve with wild cows? Where are Stalin's man-chimp hybrids?
>>40340685>No sourceWe're never getting Kiria.
>>40344430That too, but I am also sick of direct expies. Like sure for symbolism you can can borrowthe symbolism of a nation. But then, this is a magical world. Do something more interesting with it. Fucking Adelart and Chital and Coltaghe even Hippogrffia are very guilty of that. And that is
>>40344720I think this might be the single worst part of the mod.
>>40344730Griffonia in general is guilty of that. I just didnt want to recount rhem all. It is easier to say stuff I like.I like concept of Vedinian religion. I like Yale. Greiffenmarschen. Haukland. I like Fezera, though there could be more done. Going deeper into cyberpunk and maffia/detective aesthethic. Perhaps some cyoa. I like radical paths in Mareland. I like conceptually Falcor and Sicameon. In execution there could be more done. I like Longsword. I like idea bdhind Gerring. I like idea behind Klosau. I like Wulfric path. I like idea of Barrad but not execution. Riverlands in general are weak. Because they are supposed to be defensive faction. But then both their main enemies Hellquil and Barrad are hilariously weak.
>>40344764Oh right, I also like Rumare, Hansetic path for Romau after Dawnclaw and Maarite Ebonwing. Nearly forgot about those.
I'll be hosting an EAW game tomorrow at 18:30 CEST. Everyone is free to join.
>>40344053I'm pretty sure the same guy made Equestria Liberation Front and Manehattan, which is hands down some of the best content in the mod. Changeling post-war as far as TNO style content goes it's well executed. The changeling aesthetics are pretty kino and the kirin ones look good too. I'm sure whatever we get will be at least Manehattan or ELF tier, if not better
>>40344797I know the answer, but how come unicorn weapons have handles? Wouldn't a sharp object that's sharp everywhere be more effective?
>>40345002Maybe the weapons are designed for general use and not just for unicorns? I guess there could be some weapons designed specifically for telekinesis users, but most would probably be mass-produced for general use.
>>40344720>ChitalI don't get calling that a direct analogue at all my dude, they're if India was colonized by Vikings. That's weird and interesting, I liked their canon path well enough, and I'm pretty interested in how they're going to interact with Kiria.
>Something bad happens after Governor get shot:aussie_griffon:
>>40345416Nova Griffonia DEFINITELY needs a revisit. Only one kinda fun path in the whole nation, glad to see this.

>>4034593610w nerf, so sad.
>>40345299Yes they are vikings. And it does nothing different with it. Besides the typucal viking memes. Ignoring how they are leagues away from homeland and how their culture would change as a result through interacting with natives. Even Britbongs who settled in their little Raj were often adopting aspdcts of Indian culture they found interesting. And Indians did the samd from Bongs. But Chital has none of that. It is just le vikings in India. Which was already done in Austurland, and while that could also be done more interestingly, it is still leagues better than Chital.
>>40345416I assume it is rework to how you get Highhill path.
>>40344797The game will start today at 18:30 CEST. The theme will be that we will all coop as Griffonian Empire (or someone can play Romau or Bronzehill if they want) and set Aquileia, Griffonian Republic and Skyfall to be buffed. We'll have to work together to stop the republican menace. Note that we will likely go archon.
>>40346013You should play a country before you complain about it, because they do that, and saying fucking Austerland is better than Chital is the craziest thing I've seen in these threads(The leader designer idea at the start is interesting, but other than that it's a very not fun nation to play). The whole power struggle between the various factions, the mechanics behind who gets to be the leader, all of that is fun gameplay wise.Also, not every place colonized by the British adapted the the indeginious cultures my dude, look at Australia and hell America. The reason why the more culturally Viking section is spotlighted is because the nation you're playing at and Unifying Hindia with is Chital, the coast that was most heavily colonized by the Viking deer. I'm sure there will be more of what you're describing once Dolehi gets their tree.
>Kiria will release by next Mareday
>>40346064You clearly miss the point of what I am saying. Chital literally doesn't do anything interesting with the ideas and symbolism it uses. And let's not even go into how it doesn't even do anything interesting with the concept of this being a fantasy world. Like you are using symbolism and aesthetics of Vikings and Indians. Yet, you don't even do anything interesting mythologically speaking. Where is the magic, where are all the crazy heroes and monsters from these mythologies? Or where is your own spin on these aesthetics and mythologies? It is literally just bitch basic power struggle and politics. Tobuck and Zarantia blow Chital out of the water because they actually do feel like fantasy takes on the aesthetic they use. Or Yale, Yale is still unsurpassed and is the best nation in Griffonia and more devs should actually do narrative, characters, and focus trees like that.
>>40346160Not summer, it already disappointed
>>40346160When is Mareday
