Originally, this was going to be a video on "The War of The Alliance", but I forgot it takes me awhile to get back into full production mode after a long break. Good thing St. Vincent's War serves as a nice little prelude into The Alliance War, which will come later in the year since I've already recorded the audio and did some preliminary work on it.

Man, this guy can be reading the instructions on the shampoo bottle and somehow will manage to make it an epic greater than life narration. Your research into the lore is very moving, makes me think some people still care about the lore of things.
Before the Merchant War, the NLC and WFP had an alliance known at the Northern Alliance Defence Organization (NADO). They were unsuccessfully trying to get the UMF to join, until it's defeat in the Merchant's war. As for the end of the St. Vincent's war, while none of the Northern leagues withdrew from the war effort, the UMF was threatening to and support for the war was waning in the NLC itself. Only the WFP was still fully dedicated to it. Just two notes I found conspicuous by their absence.
2:36 is gonna be my new wallpaper. Great vid as always. I'd like to get more into this game once I have some money and can figure out which books have the best introductory lore.
HG2E is the best for that. That really sets you up with a majority of the important things. Following that, Life on Terra Nova 2E. Both have a good hi-res version on drivethrurpg. (Revitalized)
Thirding "Life on Terra Nova Second Edition" for Lore stuff, to say it's filled with background info would be an understatement. Also the Heavy Gear RPG 4th Edition sourcebook is out now on drivethrurpg and Dream Pod 9 through their cons. I dont have a copy (yet), but supposedly they've moved the timeline up by another couple of decades.
@@MacsLore Life on Terra Nova is dated 1936, just prior to the outbreak of the Polar War. The storyline books cover the events up to TN 1951 and the 4th ed RPG takes it to 1954
@@MacsLoreI think its on RU-vid, but its a gem of a show to me anyway. Not as many factions as you describe here only North and South who instead of going to war play games against each other instead for political leverage
Loved the HG games and the TV show, even the OFP / ARMA mods all back in the day. Thank you for explaining the lore that escaped me back then...when you can kill armies with big stompy mechs you tend to miss stuff like that.
That was when it was called OFP "Operation Flash Point. They had to change the name to ARMA when they split with codemasters. So ARMA 1 era and graphics...we were still happy with it back then. @@leftwardglobe1643
