Войны разорения - релиз состоялся. Обсуждаем)

[Hobbit]

О да. Полагаю, что этот продукт мы увидим где-то между роумовским же Time of Triumph, долгожданным Technical Readout: Omega и новыми сурсами для BattleRun.

Наивная реакция общественности слегка озадачила
"Генетическая" серия омнисов, кстати, довольно милая идея.

Что же здесь милого?

Stone Raptor - это еще, что за шняга)))
24 листа рекордшитов - это вкусно.
Скорее бы вышло.

[Fenris]

неужели айс скорпионс таки ня (Коннор Руд это гут), а гадюки таки того (зачем тогда био Эндрюсу?)?

[J.S.]

Получается что осталось лишь 9 изначальных кланов, а из остальных слепили 5 мутантов...

[Fenris]

мутант в виде ледяных скорпиончиков лично мне очень нравится заранее ужиков опять же не убили, красота в общем...осталось про стальных гадов узнать

[Маленький Скорпион]

Меня больше интересует дарк каста, генокаста и прочее. Да и насчёт заговора учёных -- как оно там раскроется?

[Scorpion Dog]

А это не шутка?

Джейк Кабрински, как основной игрок - занимательно

А "Tainted Ones" - интересно, что это?

"Запятнанный одиночка" или ""Некто опозоренный" ?
Может так обозвали Гадюк? Эвфемизм, вроде "неназыаемого клана" ?

[Маленький Скорпион]

"Ones" -- множественное число, т.ч. "испорченные [кто-то]". По всей видимости, собирательное название неких отщепенцев и/или мятежников против клановского образа жизни. Например, дарк-кастовые сообщества, CSC, общины генокасты и иже с ними.

[Hobbit]

Я продолжаю не испытывать ни капли доверия к Роуму и его превьюшкам.

А один чорт -- больше офлуждать по этой теме нечего

[Rabid Coyote]

Каменный раптор - никак, новый клан состряпали?

[KolbunD]

Каменный раптор - никак, новый клан состряпали?

вот только из чего его слепили? да и нафига это было делать, если задумка авторов заключалась в полиле многочисленности?

[Маленький Скорпион]

вот только из чего его слепили?

"Я его слепила из того, что было" (с) народное
Вариантов можно придумать разных. От остатков некоего "осквернённого" клана (или нескольких кланов), демонстративно порвавших с означенной скверной ради возвращения к истокам клановского образа жизни (откуда и новый тотем) ...и вплоть до особо отличившихся вольняг, которым позволили создать новые бладнеймы.

[Minor]

Прочитал эту тему, улыбнуло. Так это всеже первоапрельский прикол или действительно содержание официальной книжки?
Больше похоже на стеб если честно. Особенно смешно выглядят "слившиеся" кланы вроде бладкобров и айсскорпионов. 8)

Huh. Found this floating around on a flash drive. Might be something, might just be discarded notes from some stupid project…


There is no set defining moment of the disastrous wave that engulfed the Clan Homeworlds. Recounting the waterfall of bloodshed and catastrophe is what this report is, in crucifying detail. Since many of the key pivot points in the Clans’ recent history revolve around various Grand Council sessions, it is as good a spot to begin as any.

Note that this report has been compiled from hundreds of sources, to best present to the Council of Clans a full view of the events that occurred in the Homeworlds up to the present day. Upon reading, the Khans will note that we have incorporated our own theories, thoughts, conjecture, and intellectual guesswork into the events as recorded, a benefit of our hindsight. In the gaps where little information was known, we have filled in what we could based on the historical record available to us. It is very possible we have missed some connections or overlooked other bits of evidence; in these cases, as always, the crucible of future history will cast our fate.

What you will read in here will shock and disgust you; it is amply evident the Homeworlds of our birth have grown tainted and twisted, well beyond the Founder’s Vision. While it is not my place to say what the will of the khans should be, I— and many of my counterparts—agree that from this first Grand Council forward, our former brethren and their fates should be sealed for all time. Maybe generations down the path we could debate reopening such a horrific box, but for now, it is best for those of us that remain that our past remains behind us.

It is indeed grand foresight that the Wolves saw these dark days coming, and acted to save our Founder’s line from the corruption. It is a hope that has saved the essence of the Clans, and one that we six will continue to hold on high.

———————————————

It is quite possible Khan Montose’s own genius set up the Hellions for their eventual fall. Strategic failures aside, the overly complicated “shell games” she put the Clan’s touman through between 3068 and 3070 were so convoluted not even the Clan’s own Watch could keep abreast of which Clusters were situated where. It was not uncommon for a Hellion Flurry to arrive at their assigned post, get settled, and then within days—or, in a few cases, hours—be handed new orders for redeployment.

On paper, the strategy seemed somewhat sound; constant movement meant that the other Clans could barely keep up with the unit postings. Many times, a challenging Clan would arrive to declare a Trial of Possession, expecting based on their own recent intelligence to find certain units in place—and find a completely different Cluster ready to defend against them. In one case, the Star Adders arrived on Hector and challenged for a Trinary’s worth of Ice Ferrets, expecting to face the Seventy-eighth Hellion Lancers. Instead, the Trial was defended by the Fifty-third Striker Irregulars, which had arrived the day before; at the end of the Trial the next day, the victorious Cavaliers were already loading for departure as the Khan’s orders moved them elsewhere.

Such a pace cannot be maintained indefinitely, yet the Hellions kept it up for just under three years. Fatigue and common illnesses, usually rare cases among Clan warriors, became common ailments during the last several months. It is entirely possible that by the time the Hellions arrived at their launch points along the Falcon border, they were already operating at higher stress levels than normal, which may have contributed to the Clan’s later cascade of failures.

Montose’s plan was not without its successes, dubious as they might seem. The Clan’s constant whirlwind of activity in the Homeworlds was of enough intensity it kept many of the other Clans off-balance, allowing the Hellions to amass more than enough material and resources for its journey to and assault on the Jade Falcon OZ. It was not until the early 3070s that a few Clans began to notice the absence of particular Hellion Galaxies and move to take advantage of the situation. If Montose had not been madly swirling her forces around the Pentagon and Kerensky Clusters, who knows just how long the Hellion’s Fury assault may have actually lasted. Certainly, it would have petered out quicker than it ended up.

There are many ‘what-ifs’ that arise after examining Khan Montose’s actions during the period between 3068 and 3072. They are worth consideration by future Clan leaders, if only to better avoid the fate that befell Clan Ice Hellion.
