If this thread is open for general feedback for casters, I'd like to offer my ten cents as a non-caster who watches a lot of content and has got a number of friends into CoH2 from other gaming communities.

1. Noun is right - a caster with passion but perhaps not he best technical set-up is better than a slightly bored one with brilliant editing and skill. Luckily, with our most popular casters, we have folks who can do both (farewell TFN, for example). Among my favourite casters, bar none, are Rogers and Pounder. Why? because they are funny and love this shit. Their last cast with Barton was fucking brilliant, they were cracking up laughing most of the way through. That's why I watch replays.

2. This brings me onto my second point. Less is more. If R&P cast one game a month like that I'd be beyond happy. It's better to have one awesome cast than fifty meh casts.

3. Mind you, as Stalin once said about his army, quantity has a quality all of it's won. But if you are going to be prodigious then do what The Dane does. He casts himself, noobs, the best players, 2v2s and every permutation inbetween. And all the time he does it in a Teutonic accent with a free history lesson. He's another community legend.

4. So while I'm being fulsome in my praise, Noun is also correct about how respect is important. As a consumer of game casts (and listen to this --- I'd *pay* to watch the best ones) I like it when the community is a happy ship. I like drama as much as the next internet monkey but childish shit-slinging is dull.

Thanks for reading. I'm a cynical fuck most of the time but I want this game to work. Snark has it's place, but ultimately too much will drag us all down.

Best regards

Quite. But we need to see the utility. Will the resource implications work out exactly as you suggest? What is the synergy between the other doctrinal nerfs and the Ace?

The Tiger Ace nerf should please a lot of people.

Personally it doesn't overly trouble me (the ace) as I play in larger games where it's easier to manage, but I'm very pleased about the purchased veterancy alteration.

I also use this doctrine myself, now I'll have to think about pressing that commander button... which imo is a good thing.

Am still pissed off with the scout car, possibly the most disappointing unit in CoH2.

Who cast 'Summon Imperial Dane?'

Yes, the penal troops like like Abercrombie and Fitch models, not a legion of the doomed force to traipse through minefields.

The idea is for skins, dude. Nobody is suggesting replacing the vanilla ones, I don't hate them. They could just be better.

Meanwhile the modelling hobby is an ever-reliable source of inspiration. Show me a man who won't throw down a couple of bucks to turn his 'scripts into a Soviet Naval infantry iteration and I'll show you a loon! Look at the moustaches! Stripy tee-shirts! It's a bit village people but I love it!
