Why is the logo a shark? 

 

 

No idea, but sharks are known as swift but relentless and deadly predators - this may reflect the Foehn's tactics: maximum force for maximum effectiveness.

 

By the way, I become fixated with Uragan's voice - he is really an immense and menacing figure. Would someone gladly posted the list of Foehn units' quotes (along with new units for other factions)?

That shark on the logo should be the Megalodon. As one of the biggest predators ever existed it is quite fitting.

It is alone by itself and rarely appear, but it is big and dangerous. Like nobody know how and where Foehn came from, they suddenly came and give the victorious Epsilon a big, nasty problem.

Uragan... yeah, he's literally a man-Irkalla of Last Bastion, arguably does more friendly fire than Eureka... mainly because if his energy balls doesn't find anything hostile to chase on, they will decide to just eat your own army instead.

Diver Bees should be more anti structure, and just better in general, especially since they're one use T3 units.

[Damfoos]

They shouldn't, because they are almost unstoppable. It is not that difficult for Foehn player to get enough money to produce them in numbers, especially with bounties, accelerated miners and an oil derrick or two under his control. Try to save your CY or other important buildings then.

The mission called "Golden gate" sort of ended in a way that implied a continuation. Can we expect a revisit to San Francisco?

[Handepsilon]

BTW I don't know if anyone asked this yet but what is your Foehn's favorite soundtrack?

[Solais]

The Remnant and any other version of it. Back then, I watched the reveal trailer over and over just to listen to the music.

[Handepsilon]

Ha, The Remnants (+ of the Distant Future) are cool.

Personally, Edge of the Razor and Downfall (last trailer background soundtrack) gets my vote

[nikitazero678]

The Remnant (+ of the Distant Future), ctOS Calibration, Last Line of Defense and The Brotherhood.

[aethiraes]

Same here, the Remnant (+ of the Distant Future) and Downfall are all pretty great. They make every Foehn game hype. Destiny is similar, the opening with the brass instruments is sheer awesome followed by an almost space sci-fi melody during the middle. 

 

I love "The Rescue" though. I think it shows World Beyond's talent. The opening is a mellow, almost mournful tone. Then it transitions into this cold-metal electronic sound. The whole track has this gentle intensity that I love. Mindshell has these awesome hype tracks like "Destiny" and then more quieter pieces like "The Rescue", so there's a lot of variety that keeps me from getting tired of the album. Each track is characteristically "Foehn" and seem to tell a different story. 

[Alex06]

Remnant of the Distant Future, The Remnant, Last Line of Defense, Beyond, The Rescue, ctOS Calibration.

Those are my favorites, so far, in that order, I suppose.

 

I can also kind of see themes for each faction and hero of the Foehn, in the tracks' names:
Last Line of Defense: Last Bastion

Stormbringer: Wings of Coronia

Ex Machina: Uragan

The Rescue: Fin & Alize

Edge of the Razor: Haihead

Aftershock: Eureka

Breakdown: Nanotech weapons

The Destroyer: M.A.D.M.A.N. tank

 

And for some reason, I always imagine Megalodons decimating an enemy armed column when listening to "Beyond". "One Final Chance" reminds me of Mass Effect 1's ending and of Mass Effect 2.

I think I can listen to the entire Foehn soundtrack and doesn't find a single track uninteresting. On the other hand, can't get used to all Epsilon and some of the Allied tracks.

Most favorite ones are Heroic, ctOS Calibration, Downfall, Break down. They're epic battle themes.

[Graion Dilach]

Eh, I guess I am the sole one who finds the whole Foehn OST a bland boring generic "epicmovietrailer" music. Black Ice 9's songs have an overall feeling, WB not really.

[Solais]

Nah, epic movie music is a lot more blander than the Foehn OST. A LOT MORE. The Foehn OST actually got melodies to them and they are memorable; you can easily hum them. Movie music very often just have "scenes" chopped from a generic suite, and they are barely memorable at all.

We favourite Foehn OST songs nao? Then let's go.

 

First one - Heroic. While most of songs give you a feeling of being against all odds, i think Heroic shows that in every way. I usually play it when im planning to do something stupid, which can turn the tides of match - and hell yeah, it works perfectly. All-in head on assaults with lesser numbers of units also counts for that - there is me, group of brave detriments under my command and my micromanagement. Come get some (ง•̀o•́)ง

 

Next on the list - One Final Chance. Probably due to title, it reminds me of One Final Effort from Halo 3. However, it gives me the same feeling. Dont. Stop. PUSHING. It's either them, or us - preferably them. Usually played before attacking enemy with the full might of Coronia's air armadas. Result is probably self explainatory.

 

Destiny. One of tracks that do not really fit into combat, but maybe more like traversing through unknown areas, maybe as scout party. Plays whenever i want honestly, i dont have any specified moment to instachange song to it.

 

Right on Track - Someone before mentioned Memelodon assault? Then this is the perfect one for me during that scenarios. I dont play much of Haihead, but hell, if i do then its always the one to play. Crowning Moment of Awesome Eargasm starts at 1:22 of track.

 

Downfall - Self explainatory. Trailer's OST always neded to be epic in both video and combat.

 

Honorable mention - Beyond. "We are not here to fight". Lovalmidas will understand. Also, fits anywhere into battle.

 

Honestly, entire OST is epic but i like those most.

I love the Epsilon OST. In fact, it's probably the reason why Epsilon became my fav faction, not the units. Ok, maybe the OST and Libra. "Psychosis" fits perfectly for her anyway.

[GuardianTempest]

I like the Foehn voices, very varied.

 

Also, is it me or does the Zorbtrotter sound like he's so unsure about everything?

You're not the only one :v

[Solais]

Well, he lives in his own little bubble.
