They seem to believe that themselves…

To be fair, the Capellans literally tried to replace Hanse with a brainwashed, face-sculpted stooge a couple of years before.

You'll find quite a few things happen in the Battletech Universe that seem crazy to say but actually did happen. Yes Hanse Davion had plates with different star systems on them. He did declare the CapCon as his gift to his new wife. Their Chancellor, who was a tad insane already, damn near broke down from the stress of this news. Grabbing at plates and screaming how they are military intelligence. Comstar, the phone company that was running this party on Terra, kept trying to calm him down as would any wedding coordinator. Then one of the Military Intelligence operatives for the CapCon, who was secretly working FOR Davion at the time as a double agent, merely toasted to Hanse silently, swigged down the drink, then crushed the glass with his robotic hand. Yes the man was a cyborg. Also during this wedding, a highly revered Mercenary leader snuck some swords from his dead friend to the party, threw them down at the feet of the Draconis Combine's leader and cursed him out. Then flipped duces at him, said for the guy to watch his back, and peaced out. It was a very interesting wedding party, with the typical drama one would have at such a shindig don't ya think?

Yes, that is an in universe quote. Pretty crappy wedding gift tho.

This same event was depicted in MechWarrior 4, if I recall.

@@ObiwanNekody GET ME A REAL SUCCESSOR STATE LIKE THE LEAGUE

Don't forget that the mercenary leader delivered his threat in perfect Japanese, despite being raised with English (or the 31st century form thereof) as his first language

I don't think planetary genocide was their goal this far into the succession wars, they want to keep as many civilians alive as is convenient, maybe during the first succession war planetary genocide was a goal.

@@spaghetti3944 Not a goal... but not a real problem either. Although what they fail to consider apparently is that the Tikonov defenders should be able to crank out quite a bit more defenders than they can import attackers. The whole premise is rather flawed. Worst case scenario: they sabotage all the battlemech factories when the invaders win, blowing them sky high just as the first new mechs are completed.

There really are no good guys or bad guys in Battletech… okay, well some of them are pretty much bad like the Word of Blake and Stefan Amaris.

Not a genocide, just a military campaign against a foreign nation that had tried a few years before to replace their head of state with a brainwashed and face-sculpted double.

They’re battlemechs, and they’re kinda similar in concept but also different.

its also the main ship from FTL ;)

You first amigo.

By the time of the 4th Succession War, which this trailer describes the start of, the Great Houses had battered each other to the point that they had no Warships left, and were having trouble building and maintaining smaller combat vessels. Also, the Federated Suns had attacked Tikonov at least twice prior to the 4th Succession War, and destroyed most of Tikonov's space defenses. They did still have 3 combat Dropships and 70 aerospace fighters to defend the planet in space.

All warships were destroyed during the first and second succession wars along with the capability to maintain and build them even if they did find one floating in space it was not affordable to maintain it it was better to have countless battlemech that can be built and maintained sure they had fighters and such but even then it would be wastful to use on big targets that are to heavily defended

I know I pulled it from the BattleTech files if you prefer I could change it, just a big fan of your avatar!

coming from the ultra authoritarian police state that's rich, I spit on your grave Liao bootlicker

@@spaghetti3944 Glass houses dude with an Eridani Light Horse pfp. Glass houses.

​@@comingupooo Those guys would eventually help wipe out Smoke Jaguar so show some gorramed respect for this former SLDF force!

dude im so down, if you need a lance mate msg me

Not really, no. This may be cheesy, but fan projects really aren’t good 90% of the time.

While I prefer the epitome yet a bit flawed merger of FRR+GBD into GhostBearDominion/RasalhagueDominion. I choose them along with the Capellans, Taurians, Magistracy, Jarnfolk and other clans like Sea Fox, Snow Ravens, Coyotes hundred times over the arrogant pompous sun stain with a badly hidden spoiled brat attitude infested Sun sniffers😂 Capellans can be true jerks and 3 gov body type dictarorship for sure, no faction 100% but I cheered on them for recapturing yellow golden boys snitched territory of Liao. Well deserved payback. Dracs slithering towards FS capital yet our RD are just about 2 jumps away from the Dracs capital😂

hanse brother is good too he defeated the clans

@@aidahirai1020 That's his son, Victor Steiner-Davion.

yeah but they were griffins 🤢

But... but where was the dining table and the plates??!!! 🤣

@@spaghetti3944 Isn't the Griffon also present in the Throne room of house Steiner? So there could be more meaning to this.

@@larslaufer301 There's 2 SLDF Royal Griffins in the Steiner throne room, Julian Davion 'accidentally' knocked them over once... then left a Marauder 2 getting humped by a Zeus in their place. Only Julian and Callandre Kell know exactly how they managed it, but they both got exiled from Tharkad because of it.

@@larslaufer301 yeah the Steiner's are big griffin fans, even though in my opinion they're not very good option

i know i didnt notice till i was uploading the video

well we can agree on one thing the vermin between our borders are not worthy of the throne...

I mean it's the capellians. You can't really be upset if they disappear.

@@Seresh-j8m I wouldn't be upset if those murdering Dracs disappeared too. Never forget Kentares IV

@@Seresh-j8m The only good capellan is a nuked one.

And yet they supported and joined with Comstar and Word of Blake 🤔

High Chancellor Liao, emperor of the Capellan Confederation was also invited. It was at that moment he stopped grabbing food for his plate and started breaking dishes and screaming.

Well you know, it does make sense for Steiner and Davion to have an actual border and Liao being the pain in the ass is the goal.

Every single successor lord was invited. Steiner and Davion had their militaries ready and people in place to kick it off and keep things coordinated while they went flying back home. The others didn't.

@@tennoskoom2233 He did not break the dishes, the dishes had names of important worlds for every state but in his paranoia he thought that Hanse Davion was mocking him with the plates and that they were the names of the worlds that were going to be attacked so he started grabbing them saying it was important information.

Declaring TWO wars at once 😂

the first time i watched this cutscene it gave me shivers, the rasalhague dlc was pretty good but nowhere near as cool as the kestrel lancers

Because... It was meant to do so :D

because those who want to go to war rarely ever fight in it.

Because, comstar.

I mean some artistic liberty is the to be expected, the developers chose to add these things to improve the game experience overall, and not necessarily just to make the game more realistic.

Funnily enough, the original game at launch just had your XO(?) confirming your orders & calling out damage/destruction to ships when turns were playing out, resulting in a very “quiet” replay (aside from the music & gunfire). Many players found the lack of CIC radio chatter to be very underwhelming. The gameplay isn’t meant to be “realistic”, it’s meant to be “immersive” (ie bringing alive the BSG TV experience to the player at the controls); that means sound in space & listening to Viper chatter as the battle goes on. If you want realism in your space battles, you’re looking at the wrong franchise. :P

Ebo nut here!

Military leaders are probably too busy doing their jobs and thinking about how real armies work to play with digital spaceships.

Usually not sometimes though but usually scifi is paper rock scissors approach to strategy. Where as modern day Era games trys to push combined arms. Most military leaderslook into historical Era games that recreate scenarios that allow them to grasp context of how situations came up and what could have been done better. As they are comparing themselves to to others and trying to recreate the situation and it would have been with the caveat of themselves.

well, the valkyrie IS the smallest battlestar. whilst the mercury is the biggest. xD

@@spaghetti3944 lol

​@@spaghetti3944 cause its good

It does. I wish we got to see a functional battlegroup of colonials vs the cylons in BSG (2004). It would've looked sick

Yea more fun watching these videos than playing the actual game.
