Mechabellum - Precognition 

"...can't say fairer than that...he's earned it."

Hahaha, had to keep the Boink! animations from last game they were too much fun :D

​@@Drone_101"Holy storm callers, Rhinoman!" -Phoenix, probably

Yep, see him as a young upstart who should know better and needs to be reminded of his place when he messes up spectacularly on camera!

Cheer dude! Was happy we got such a clean close to the game, gave Editing DRN an early night last night :D

And of course the rhino edit lmao He died as he lived: feeding his enemy XP

Mr Rhino bringing the pain train, one swing at a time! Boink!

Wait, should I edit it to beginner now that he's chaffain't?

I'll accept the title of 'Novice' as somewhere between Intermediate and Beginner :D

Hahaha, thanks dude! Sometimes fewer words is better though, there's definitely an art to eloquence and sometimes I throw myself into the deeper end of the obscure word pool unnecessarily. Blame reading Tolkien as a child, Pratchett as a teenager and GRRM as a young adult. I do love when I know the exact word for any give situation or moment though. Causing a kerfuffle with the combined flank approach was a lot of fun and think we Bamboozled his defence!

Thanks dude. I'll be honest when they came out I forced them almost every game to get a good feel for them and think they're a bit too niche for most of my games. I think of them as a bigger, riskier Rhino with a higher payoff if you can get them level 2+ with Absorption Module, Heavy Armor or Regen but otherwise they just die too quickly to units I often face like Scorpions, Phoenixes and Melting Points. I do use them in 2v2 and player Brawl quite a lot because there are bigger game deciding mobile beacon plays you can make with the larger maps. Maybe my opinion will change with time but I've been burned by underpowered new units quite a few times so don't tend to play them in tourney games in their first few weeks of existence.

Boink! Boink! BOOM!

Thanks man! Gotta keep up with the competition :D

A true connoisseur of high level gameplay has no need of actually playing there themselves, even just spotting and appreciating my mistakes is a very good sign! And as long as you're having fun, who's to say it's wrong playing techless tanks into Scorpions? If two aren't working, try four! If four aren't enough, you clearly need more!

Thanks Tasty, sometimes games just go well and you're in the zone and can read the lie of the land :D

Hahaha, sorry not sorry! I know what I am, and what I am is a rambler in both senses of the word :D Journey before destination!

He's a very good player! Plays a lot of 2v2 too :)

Think we got a touch lucky there :D

Thanks dude - as long as it makes people smile I'll keep it going!

Thanks! Yeah, it's something I've put a lot of thought into. Haven't really made many scripted videos, more just experiential ones where I bring folks along for the ride in a series of tournament games. I'm going to test out something new today with a patch notes run down video, talking through my thoughts and opinions on everything. Part of my problem is I know there are far better players than myself and I'm well aware of my weaknesses, so it feels a bit disingenuous to pretend I'm some all knowing fount of knowledge when I can't remember my plans from 30 seconds before after getting distracted by "Ooooooh shiny!" :D

@@Drone_101so maybe just 101 and 201 then? Just watched the patch rundown. Helpful and level headed insight as usual. Appreciate the effort either way. Cheers!

Only way to stay grounded when everyone is so nice to me! Have to be my own worst enemy.

Haha, was just Editing DRN poking fun as Live DRN :D

Hey nice one dude, we've probably crossed paths along the way then sometime, or will do in the future then! I flucuate between 1600 and 1900 on good days and bad days. Have struggled a little since the Fort nerfs because they are my favourite unit!

@@Drone_101 That 1600 point is quite the roadblock for me. You 1600+ guys are some tough nuts. Honestly it really feels like quite a tangible "rung" in the ladder.... and I can't grasp it xD

@@mrtoestie2707 Don't worry I feel the exact same way about the 2k+ players :D

Thanks dude!

Cheers dude appreciate the sentiment! Numbers are meaningless though, I'm not looking for fame or riches, just enjoying the game and having fun making videos along the way :D

@@Drone_101 fren never stop being you 👌

@@someaussiebloke4487 You're the second person today to tell me that... I'm beginning to worry if my Mum calling me 'special' meant something else! :D

Yeah, think we dodged a bullet there! Maybe he assumed I'd be selling the Rhino so any extra damage from the Fort would be wasted shooting chaff. Dunno!

Stangs in general are very strong, they make up alot of backbones I see.

It's funny, since the Forts and Crawlers lost a lot of HP suddenly the average board health pool went down so generalist reliable 'backline' dps units all got a noticable boost. Mustangs were already doing quite well before, now even though their classic bodyguard frontline Forts are weaker, they themselves feel stronger.

@@Drone_101 This is a very great point. I appreciate your perspective!

Spot on, that's almost exactly how the exp is earned, but it's 2xCost then multiplied by (2xLevel)-1. My understanding is half the exp goes to the unit that gets the killing blow, the other half is spread out evenly with all currently living units you have on the board - including the unit that got the coup de grace. So at the end of the round your last unit always gets 100% of the earnable EXP. EXP required to level depends on the unit and is individually tuned, I'm afraid to see all the values you'll have to check the Testing Grounds, a few I remember off the top of my head are Forts need 1600 exp to go from 1 to 2 and Vulcans need 2200 I think. It's a strange system and one I'd love to have a tinker with sometime with better info from player metrics at a variety of MMR snapshots but that's just a pipe dream for me :D

Thank you ​@@Drone_101, this helps a lot. Let's go kill some spiders

Don't worry I'm sure there's loads of ways of saying words. And there's words I've only ever read myself so just have to take a wild stab at pronouncing them. If someone ever corrects your spoken English just say you were taught by a Yorkshire man one year, an Irishman the next and a Welshman after, all whilst staying in Scotland and living with a Geordie and not a single one of them ever agreed how to pronounce anything!

All good man. I'm looking forward to it, new toys are always cool. They've got a tendancy to release units a little undertuned in the past and I normally spend the first week of their release hard forcing them every game I can and my MMR suffers but it's fun :D We'll see, hoping to do a patch notes video once things are out as fast as I can!

Yeah, left the door open for us to go all in on the Phoenixes which solved the problem of the Mustangs getting stuck on the tanks.

Hahaha, two sides of the same infuriating coin I'm sure! :D

Haha, that was quick!

@@Drone_101 rather lucky, just reentered front page and there you were with a vid :D

@@Coldsun609 On a video titled Precognition too... it's a sign!

@@Drone_101 that's way more true than you think xD
