"In cooperation with Yunru's staff somewhere in Kashmir, the Iron Dragon was..."

 

"in Kashmir"

 

 

I don't think this is a coincidence now.

 

Yep, no chance of coincidence. I'll scrap my 'Soviet Remnant' theory to go to 'Get Yunru and her technological expertise to complete the Revolt's weaponry', kinda like Epsilon build up its army from scratch in the 1st Act, and the beginning of Act II.

[lovalmidas]

Technically, Soviet remnants and YunruTech are not mutually exclusive.

 

With all the focus on Yunru, I wonder any one noticed I said at least one known named character.  

[Helbrecht]

 

"Volk" also means "people" in German, and the name "Foehn" itself is a German-originated word.

Don't forget about Uragan, someone must have named him in Russian. Volkov as the personality behind the AI makes a lot of sense already, since he is non-mind-controllable, a cyborg, one of the most experienced soldiers in the world (so he should be able to easily command the defense of the Last Bastion, especially using his flying subroutine "avatar"), and he is on the cover of the mod. If the Soviets do have a cyborg production plant hidden somewhere in the Urals and Volkov's command codes are stored there, it would be wise for Foehn to recover these.

Siegfried, Norio and Yunru could make sense as the survivors of the Antarctica disaster, leading the Last Bastion, Wings of Coronia and Haihead respectively. Though they would not be a part of their skirmish/multiplayer roster for obvious reasons.

it seems all the battleground is on earth act 1 yet in act 2 are we still on earth?

 

 

i notice we kinda lack of silly lunar mission/missions if possible for foehn or yuri

 

 

seriously its kinda waste if there's moon missions (poor cosmonauts is forgotten due different results)

Last time we asked for lost colony mode like 2.0, they said that it might came back. But now 3.3 is out and no news, so I guess it won't happen.

Still, there's that rocket at moonlight and we didn't know what's it for.

[Cule_R]

Soviet mission Earthrise obviously will take place on the Moon. I think we'll receive Lost colony game mode with this mission in future updates

Well I did say "Well, it was also said in the description of the Nanofiber Loom that the Foehn's founder was the co-inventor of nanotechnology. So it is likely there are two scientists behind the Revolt, though one of them founded it first."

 

And yeah, Earthrise likely takes place on the moon. Speeder said there will be a moon mission, and there were a lot of preview screens released that showed an Epsilon moon base.

[Wayward Winds]

At the very least, the Cosmonaut gets a billboard!

 

Gameplay question here; I've noticed that Coronia can build multiple Harbinger Towers, but it doesn't seem to have any gameplay benefit to do so.  No extra Harbingers per attack run (that would quickly get overpowered, so that's not a bad thing), no increased speed on the countdown.  Is there something I'm missing here, or is it simply to give a player redundancy (and more vulnerability to infiltrators)?  Or... is it an oversight?

Also, Harbinger then (wait for Harbinger to get close) Great Tempest = overpowered combo indeed.  Too many enemy base cores utterly annihilated by doing that.

 

I've finally got a good balance with Foehn income offsetting two construction queues, but now my Minermites keep utterly exhausting ore fields in doing so.  You'd think their small ore capacity would fields from depleting too fast, but when three Minermites drop an ore field with two drills down to zilch alarmingly quickly, that's clearly not the case.  Best go capture those oil derricks and get the Reprocessor up ASAP!

The names of Act II's final missions give me bad feelings on what will happen:

1. Hamartia (Allies): Its meaning, "a protagonist's fatal mistake which led to a tragedy", possibly indicate that the Allies will made a blunder during their war against Yuri which ultimately led to their defeat.
2. Death's Hand (Soviets): Perhaps related to the Dead Hand, a Soviet automatic nuclear system which will launch a massive nuclear attack in retalliation for a nuclear attack in their territory, which may mean that the Soviets will suffer a major attack by the Epsilon that forces them to retaliate in a massive scale.
3. Babel (Epsilon): Refers to the biblical Tower of Babel, a structure built as tall as possible to reach the heaven and God, which may mean that Yuri and his Epsilon army will activate the Mental Omega device to reach out the entire world.

About the Harbinger Tower, I think that the Mentalmeisters forget to give it a build limit of 1.

If anyone says that Act II does not cover PF yet, remember that they will be playable in the mission Stormbringer.

 

By the way, I really like one of Grumble's quotes: "Grumble, ready to rumble!" What a great pun.

Harbringer towers NOT having a build limit of 1 is overpowered, IMO. How am I supposed to counter the damn thing if for each tower I destroy (what isn't easy) there are more in each corner of the base?

[X1Destroy]

You don't counter the wind, it counters you

Or in Last bastion's case, the game get worse than with ECA, because foehn can also attack with great speed while having GLA eco

What happens if you Spy it?

Btw is harbringer super weapon or not? Because I can use that thing with super weapon off and it costs money, but it also has the timer and warning of a superweapon

Edited by Handepsilon, 21 December 2016 - 01:06 PM.

[CLAlstar]

It is not considered a Superweapon, however team decided it is actually worth announcing it countdown. Which is almost similar to the one of SW.

Haha, if only it was all... Last Bastion has GLA eco, ECA defences, Russian tanks (and a Topol with unlimited range and free launches) and US infanty. What a nice combination

I found where Windbelts are gone, map is FinAlize'd not sure if used at anywhere else, they are offline first but get online after a while ingame but stay as civilian so provide no power. They are uncapturable by themselves.

FinAlize'd hah. So the Foehn heroes got their maps too.

[Speeder]

Of course. Three of them.

My god Black Widow is really deadly isn't it.... I just had a skirmish of 3 Foehns (mine) and 3 Allies (enemies) all hard AI, and within minutes one of my Foehn friendly base already devastated because 3 Black Widows pretty much 'disable' their defenses and then the artilleries and airships can just swipe in and out destroying everything easily...

 

As far as I played with 3 Foehns on my side, never one base end up destroyed by enemy AI, only when there's an Allied enemy AI and heavy artillery air units from the other 2 enemy base.

Need more Grumbles definitely.
