Politics is done via war primarily, and even then those wars rarely have political solutions (like dynastic alliance or something like that).ĭune comparisons are more.

Alliances don't change and barely happen. I mean, sure, every state has a dynasty but those don't change really. While Game of Thrones may seem like somewhat fitting comparison, and i used to think it fitting, nowadays i think BT lacks sufficient focus on political intrigue and dynasties for that. The Dark Age is something else, never could figure out a good comparison, part of the reason i like it i suppose as it feels unique-ish. The Clan Invasion has kind of 'alien invasion' feel. The Jihad era feels like a mix of cyberpunk and War on Terror along with certain focus on conspiracy theories. (Current 3025 doesn't give me that feel anymore.) Giant robots in space is common theme but otherwise it varies.īT 2nd edition has this 'forever war' (not the book, i haven't read it) and post-apocalyptic feel (in general, rather than Mad Max specifically), combined with medieval Europe. so far I call this one a $5 dlc release, not a $20.I find it difficult to pin down a vibe for BT because it varies strongly by era. I've been noticing there are more missions now with a bit more variety, so I dunno. The pack wasn't worth $20 imo, not for the flashpoint. The two lances just beat each other up and I came out and mopped up.īut yeah, the end game rewards sucked, and sucked worse the second time I ran it since my loot wasn't nearly as good as the first time, but the first time, like you, I lost 2 very valuable, spec'd mechs, I wasn't having none of that since the SLDF equipment is so scarce.

Maybe one of the upcoming Mods will help do that. I hope you come to better enjoy that particular Big and Stompy BATTLETECH Experience too. It has more to work with than ever before, and may have ever again.Īs for me, I am going to start a non-Ironman Campaign game so that I can progress to the Mini-Campaign Finale and save that match for year and year. What I do know, is that the BATTLETECH AI has never been any better than this. I know this likely doesn’t shine a different light on the topic and for that I am sorry. : )Īt its best, and you beat it, ++Weapons, Lance Abilities, Secondary Lance Abilities (a form of Ability that we’ve never seen!) and you were victorious. ++Weapons, Lance Abilities, and Secondary Lance Abilities! It was so darn sweet. Unfortunately my game was an Ironman game so there is no saved game where I can go back and experience that high-level of AI Combat again and again and again. The Final Mission of the HEAVY METAL Mini-Campaign sees us face three-party Combat, where fratricide between AI Lances is all but assured. And the culmination of the “Of Unknown Origin” FLASHPOINT Chain gives us just such a BATTLETECH challenge. It wasn’t always like this, my first game or so saw the AI kick my butt more than I would like to remember. I blunder directly into their Kill Zones and take on two, three Lances at a time. I’ve long ago given up any hope of being challenged by the AI.
