Yeah can't really do anything but wait now.

[Kirov_Fury]

The main site, moddb page has been silent like for more than a month now. What's the project been up to recently ? If the release is not going to be within 2016 there is no need to hide it

[Damfoos]

Well, here's your update then.

[Solais]

Huh, what's that Epsilon unit. Doesn't seem to be the Wormqueen.

 

Also I just realized that APC-like Foehn unit looks like it came from Aliens.

[Damfoos]

Is that a Wormking?

Maybe a new Epsilon super unit (since it stands at the same position M.A.D.M.A.N does, except on the opposite side)?

[Wayward Winds]

Heh, look at that M.A.D.M.A.N. at the back, just waiting to go off...

 

I wouldn't be surprised if we don't get confirmation of Foehn's origins in the next release, given that there won't be any actual Foehn missions involved.  The redone Act 1 missions and some of the new Act 2 missions might give us hints, but I expect the MO team is going to troll us by keeping it under wraps for as long as possible.

 

Actually, if the Foehn campaign doesn't start until beyond the point that v3.3 will reach, then that sorta lends credence to the idea that it will be the final one, and effectively an Act 3 campaign.  And that whatever Yuri and anyone else wants to think, it's the Foehn who decide how things lie when all the dust finally settles.

[Solais]

I wonder if that unit is the Reptoir...

i feel like this would backfire on them, a lot of people are waiting to hear how the foehn came to be.

I tried searching for it with the same way I found the Gharial but it didn't lead to anything. It's possible though, despite our limited knowledge

[yunru the gundealer]

random crackpot theory i had (no clue if anyone else thought of this)

 

what if fabarr_b was a barracks that lets you make the loom effected units at a higher cost?

[Chrono Stormer]

...That does make a lot of sense

[yunru the gundealer]

...That does make a lot of sense

i think by that far into the game just using the loom wouldn't have too much effect, outright training the upgraded forms could help keep fohen inf strong later into the game, but thats my reasoning, who knows *shrug*

[Chrono Stormer]

It does bring up the question of how long the Nanofiber Sync charge time is, and its cost. Still want to see a Foehn AI match like the ones made a while ago,too

[yunru the gundealer]

well i'm guessing its a mid-game weapon, so likely 2000-3000$? and i think its gonna be a three minute wait.

and if its a early game weapon then it could be 4 minute and then the loom-barracks mix idea would work even more, as most of the loom units are likely mid-late game units, the loom-barracks is gonna most likely be late game, so early game you can grab late game units, and late game you can make them without need of the loom (and the loom would still help as its gonna likely cost less then just making them)

[Chrono Stormer]

I did make a list of everything we know regarding Foehn, in case anyone wanted to look over the faction without going through the forum pages or unit showcases. Feel free to beautify it or add anything I forget; I've most likely missed something:

[yunru the gundealer]

never knew about cyclops, also i do think the foehn is kanegawa/china/steinsTech mix of some kind, to what level i got no clue

 

"-ENGINEER WOOOO YEA BOI" forever rip, engi 1995-2016. for he is boring as heck

[Chrono Stormer]

I still think that, just for the joke of it, the Engineer should sync into a construction/repair crane. Or maybe a slightly bigger version of himself with no inherent stat changes, done just because the logic is there

[yunru the gundealer]

so then he could turn into a hulk?

[Atomic_Noodles]

Or making the Engineer heal back up to full health and a temporary movespeed boost after being transformed (one time AE effect) since they're being mutated essentially. Engineers don't promote anyway.

[BlackAbsence]

Will confusion weaponry effect things that chaos weaponry couldn't, i.e. Brutes, robots, defence structures, etcetera?

 

What will Foehn have for bridge demolition purposes? :3
