I mean the only tactics they really had at that point was covered in the Centauren Lore, such as blmbardments, and Chemical warfare, and urban warfare. Alongside trench warfare the horrible tolls of it. I personally think that Centauras tactical perspective makes sense.
Nah, wait. I don't like where's Centaura going in lore. Making extra extra extra powerful Antares and smol weak other Centaurian countries. That's not a German Empire or Reich. It's kinda strange, as I think. Maybe I just need to see a mod for HOI4 with Centaura and we'ill understand why do we rush throw mines and anti-tank batteries to capture one little city or why do Cetus defended one village for idk what
@@alexwake1629 I saw something (from a dev) on the wiki community where Antares is going to take over the world a few days after I posted it. People are freaking out.
@@MrMereScratch oh hell nah. I thought that at least Orion has a good navy and marine forces to just don't let Antares to take over the world. I'd liked the mapping video about the war between Centaurean Antares vs Orion and it's allies. That's just looks realistic.
Well Antares actually won because they attacked their enemies one at a time which gave them an advantage, and when they were attacking Riaa they had the help of Ursa, plus, Antares is a very militarized nation and is very powerful nontheless
An Idea I had for trench maps was they extended the trenches beyond the playable boundary to give a deeper feeling of a stalemate. A game called Verdun does this by having the trenches either caved in or Blocked by barbed wire
The thing is, if you use strategy like actually you could end a game. I had a Capri Valley game last 6:06, with 527 casualties. Cetus Victory because we said, “Hey why don’t we attack after the arty strikes?”
2:04 Your country evolved to Emperium and occuiped a continenth 2:07 You lost so many soldier (literlly half of army) and your general but still make terror. 2:13 RANDOM 2 BATTALION MARINE DESTROY YOUR EMPERIUM. YOUR EMPERIUM COLLAPS TO 4 COUNTRY AND YOUR LAST GENERATIN SURRENDER TO OTHER COUNTRY. ((MEGA UNSTONKS
I would like to point out that similarly much deadlier battles over basically useless ground happened in the first world war. While i agree that trenches appear short thats mostly a gameplay limitation and you would most likely suspend your disbelief.
A HOI4 player commanding a well trained and well equipped military with manpower between Tucana’s and Orion’s manpower can steamroll Antares under the command of General Archer.
Antarean soldier aren't that strong, the Antares Imperium just happened to have an absurdly big amount of it and in every battle they just spammed the heck out of them and send as many armoured divisions as they ca
Another thing to do with manpower and resources is that yes in our world it seems like way too much but Forma is around 2x bigger so troop counts which would be seen as a lot in our world don’t really have as big of a deal in Forma
@@ashton2283 Technically, as far as I know, there are two other devs alongside several community contributors (providing helmets, webbing, and other meshes).
@@bg1052 It is, but… Do be warned that when searching for lore, stay away from the Reddit and the Discord server. I’ve distanced myself from it for good reason: some pretty messed up lore and community stuff has happened. I’ve only heard rumors, but they’re terrifying.
why wouldn't any pf the countries form a coalition after antares invades aquila? their only justification is uniting centaura which is a big enough threat +they invaded cetus and don't seem like they will stop soon
@@Scober420 The NCA is formed between the remaining Centauran nations after Aquila falls. For whatever reason it is comically weak. The argument of “Imperialism estranging countries”, in my opinion is kind of weak. Psychologically, one of man’s greatest priorities is survival. Because Aquila and Cetus had fallen when standing alone, it would be clear that banding together strongly is the only chance of survival. Second, Antares takes around two decades to fight mountainous Columba but suffers no anti war protests. In WWI, French and British armies were mutineering after three years of trench warfare and Vietnam was absolutely riddled with interior unrest in the United States.
I had read somewhere that the trench warfare in ww1 is nothing like what we see in capri valley for example. They didn't blindly send one wave after another into the attack without success, but rather the opposite. They had captured the first trench line "relatively easily", but could not hold it because of a very fast counterattack by the rear lines. (I see this error, as far as it is one not only in this game) And please correct me, but are the trenches actually missing dugouts ? (I know it is a game)
@@mountenia5556 Yeah, a lot of people are under the impression that soldiers are blindly thrown into battle in larger than life combat. The trench networks were not isolated during WWI and went from alps to sea.
@@mountenia5556 Also yes, they are missing dugouts. I get that “there was little time”, but those trenches are massive. You’d think there would be some infrastructure so they can actually function.
@@Stravinghelp If you’re asking for advice: read a lot of military books, stories of veterans, study maps of battles, understand what each country is capable of. If you’re not asking a question: idk but don’t ask Antares
imo capri valley it should start off with both teams in their respective trenches and corvus starts a massive artillery barrage towards the cetus trenches shortly after the match starts. corvan soldiers would then charge and hopefully claim at least 1 trench. then a little while later cetus fires their own barrage and it's one big back and fourth between artillery barrages and waves of infantry, instead of random small barrages and soldiers trickling into no mans land (which makes 0 sense)
