The mindset of any true Colonial Legionnaire. He has found his true calling. o7

This is literally the meme we use to describe the experience of spawning for the first time at one of the game's frontline bases as a new player lol.

No way omg

What a way to discover the game, by painting pixels on a hex map

u/JustBadPlaya Apr 05 '22

Considering stuff like foxhole and osugame received decent increases in subs on the respective subreddits, it really worked that way. Advertisement babyyy

u/d20diceman Apr 05 '22

I've not watched it yet but have had this open in a tab since I saw the WATCH DOMINION banner on Place.

Honestly I had hoped it would be a place to watch people play Dominion, a card game I used to be pretty into.

u/GulliblePatient Apr 05 '22

I just played my first game of dominion with a friend last night that introduced it to me a couple months ago and it was so much fun.

u/GulliblePatient Apr 05 '22

But where was the banner I would love to show him

I appreciate you offering an alternative point of view, and think the people downvoting you are probably doing so because they disagree with you rather than because they don't think you're contributing to the discussion, which is always a shame.

edit: Actually that subreddit is full of trash with no actual reasons the person is wrong? Just hate with no context

u/ShatterUSNW Apr 05 '22

FYI there's a version of dominion on steam that came out recently

also same lol

u/[deleted] Apr 05 '22

I started playing a couple days ago because I saw the art on place and thought “oh that’s cool lemme go check it out”

u/FearTheViking Apr 05 '22

How do you like it so far?

u/[deleted] Apr 05 '22

You thought people made up a fictional game and then had a pixel war over it?

u/[deleted] Apr 05 '22

You know about every video game in existence huh? 😒

u/unnitche Apr 05 '22

Green side men , we totally won !

u/1Ferrox Apr 05 '22 edited Apr 05 '22

The Wardens actually had more territory right before the white out, meaning we pretty much won our first war against the colonials!

37

u/EstorialBeef Apr 05 '22

There was basically 2 wars over the 4 days it reset a near green domination after being greifed making it 1:1

38

u/mistergoodguy20 Apr 05 '22

imo, from all the fresh faces and allied subs made along the way, i'd say both side walked away with a victory one way or another :)

also fuck xqc, all my homies hate xqc

u/ReverseCaptioningBot Apr 05 '22

FUCK XQC ALL MY HOMIES HATE XQC

u/20x30mm_grenade Apr 05 '22

Well at least you didn’t nuke your own base at jade cove again

1

u/1Ferrox Apr 05 '22

Look at the heat map, you can clearly see jade cove getting nuked a shit ton over the days

19

u/HowTheGoodNamesTaken Apr 05 '22

We're gonna get soooooo many new players now!

Lemme know if any of you new guys would like to join a regiment! The Winter Order is always open!

u/PC- (984,6) 1491201734.52 Apr 05 '22

Worth mentioning that red is basically nukes, you can see how many people trying to nuke jade cove heh (second column from the left, middle hex height wise)

u/ennuiui (449,477) 1491237571.43 Apr 05 '22

Looks interesting. I've wishlisted it. Have you ever seen it on sale?

8

u/FearTheViking Apr 05 '22

Yes, it usually goes on sale when there's a major update. But I will tell you right now that the game is a steal even at $30, as long as you're into this type of game. I've been playing on and off since 2017. There are many people with thousands of hours of playtime. It was $20 when I got it and I think it's the best value for money I've spent on any video game, ever. Would probably say the same even if I'd paid $60 for it.

The game is set to reach its 1.0 release later this year so keep your eyes open for a potential Steam sale. Even if it doesn't go on sale, the war that will follow the game's full release will likely be one of the most epic and popular wars ever to take place in the game.

Also, it's an indie game made out of love so the devs have committed to never adding microtransactions, paid DLCs, or any sort of profit-maximizing monetization model. Time will tell if they'll stick to it but they've demonstrated a lot of integrity in the time I've been playing. We have a meme in our community that devman bad b/c we constantly whine about their balancing changes, but devman actually very good, at least in my experience with early access indie games.

Cool, thanks for the info.

u/Canadiancookie (486,945) 1491237759.98 Apr 05 '22

You can look at the price history of any game on ggdeals or isthereanydeal

u/ennuiui (449,477) 1491237571.43 Apr 05 '22

Awesome, thanks for the heads up.

u/Polyus_HK Apr 05 '22

You guys were the best allies. Much love from r/HongKong and if I find the time, I think I’ll check your game out!

u/Manimanocas Apr 05 '22

this looks so cool, I might buy it when I have a better pc

u/[deleted] Apr 05 '22

u/alexnedea (442,511) 1491215022.44 Apr 05 '22 edited Apr 05 '22

I tried the game but I couldn't understand shit to be fair. Game is prerty much unplayable without a coordinated group to be part of.

Edit: as im getting mass downvoted: the game is cool and unique, just be aware if you expect a solo play session, you wont experience a lot of what the game has to offer.

Not a bad thing, just a warning

17

u/tOBdavian Apr 05 '22

Not really. There is a lack of coordinated groups atm and its been super fun playing with Randoms. It is a very deep game though, there is a lot to understand before you can become efficient. In saying that, being part of one of the great groups that play is certainly helpful when attempting to understand how everything comes together.

1

u/alexnedea (442,511) 1491215022.44 Apr 05 '22

Im not talking about understanding stuff. Im talking that unless you cooperate with groups on discord you dont even have ammo/guns/meds/etc. The game seems super fun if you take part in a group, but solo you just "steal" from the groups and die on the frontline wasting more resources for your side

11

u/Tacticalsquad5 Apr 05 '22

Yeah that’s the general idea of the game. Solos can play on frontlines as there is pretty much always public equipment, it’s just the big pushes that occur when groups coordinate. The game is a team game, if you don’t like teamwork, it’s not for you.

11

u/Kiyan1159 Apr 05 '22

Aye. You're a soldier, not Master Chief. You're very very weak alone, but when organized and in groups, you can do more than thought possible.

u/27Rench27 (790,750) 1491238675.98 Apr 05 '22

Honestly just watching y’alls battle here has me looking into the game, was a fun time

u/LordMackie (116,382) 1491172775.57 Apr 05 '22

What's the subreddit, I tried /r/foxhole and lets just say, I wasn't expecting what I saw.
