The thing I fell in love with is the teamwork with strangers. 20 randoms coming together to rush the enemy spawn point with HE grenades is something I've never seen before 😅
Great video about Foxhole! This game is definitely not for everyone but for those of us that do fall in love with it, we fall hard. Logistic is what made me get this game. And I love doing my logistics "job" when I log in and supplying the fronts to help our faction move forward. And side note the thing about mass reporting has gone down, but it does still exist unfortunately. We are working on building a more positive and welcoming community for new players. Thanks again for making this!
One of my favorite aspects of Foxhole is the artillery system. Artillery guns can shoot incredibly far- so far, in fact, that the binoculars won't let you see out to their minimum range. This means any spotters have to approach the front lines and do _trigonometry_ to calculate the optimal firing vector.
@sebastianeriksen5619 the real vets don't need the calculators anymore and do it by finger feeling and adjust afterwards. That is if the arty doesn't get obliterated by retaliation fire after the first shell hits 5 meter too far to the right
the most horrifying moment i've ever had in gaming was in foxhole. namely taking a trench/bunker system only to be wiped out by a counter attack with the collies using flamethrowers, it was like something out of all quiet on the western front.
My favorite Foxhole moment. 4 partisans caught me on the way to the front with supplies. I hopped out of my truck and took cover behind it. They were coming from the front of the truck and I only had a pistol to defend myself. I peeked around the corner and took out the two on my left side before they could fire back. I moved to the left side of the truck while the two remaining enemies came from the right side. I peeked the back corner where I had just been standing and took out another enemy. The final enemy panicked and tried to run away and I shot him in the back. I took all of their gear and delivered it with my supplies to the front. The guys at the front asked where I got Warden gear and after I told them the story everyone cheered and commended me. Foxhole is an incredible game! Logi gang!
I remember when i bought Foxhole couple years back. I spawned in frontline region "Faranac coast" i think was a name. I was trying to figure out what to do and all of sudden some dude pulled up with a truck. He noticed i am new, he tell everyone to commend me and asked me what my favorite animal is. I then jumped into the truck, he brought me to the actual front and i died shortly after. In this map, there is (or maybe was) this narrow path with rock on both sides of the road. We were fighting back and forth there for 3-4 days. Finally we pushed through and take out enemy base. I died in the process... but as i was going back from spawn, i had one of the best moment in gaming. There was column on the right of the road - tanks, trucks bringing supply to new base, construction vehicles, bus full of soldiers and in the other direction, there was column of push guns, tanks and truck which we stole from the colies. Everyone was cheering and yelling. It was special
@@smithynoir9980yeah, even when you l'ose a front, the desperate scrambling, people trying to empty the base of stuff before it gets taken while others hold the line as much as they can to give everyone time. It is intense and beautiful

If you aren't aware, these same devs are making a medieval version of this game called Anvil Empires, if you want to REALLY feel like a peasant toiling for your feudal lords. It's not out yet but they run closed betas and it has a steam page.
I have got a notification today that foxhole is on sale, and it also have listed for me other games from these devs and Anvil Empires has really gotten my attention just from the thumbnail, it was an instant wishlist hehe
tbh, I find the idea of medieval version would be more intrigue than world war settings, I hope they're success with Anvil Empires as I find Foxhole despite being a good game, is so difficult to get you hook into
this game legit saved me from suicide twice. Community is beyond nice. if you are new to the game best thing is to ask someboyd if they need help and that you are new
@@wawawuu1514 Initially it gave me something to think about so i wasn't thinking about stuff going on in my life. Also i met random dude in game he noticed i am new so he just decided to teach me the game and invited me to his regiment giving me new social circle so i wasn't alone. Community is nicest one i seen in gaming
You saved yourself by being sharp enough to seek distraction and community instead of focusing on the negative alone. Give yourself some credit, homie.
The thing about Foxhole is you learn whatever small section you're interested in. Whether that be Infantry, Trucker, Factory worker, Engineer, Scraper gatherer. Tanker, Seaman, etc. Its near impossible to do it all but it forces people to band together and each pick a piece of the puzzle to create cohesive organizations. If anyone is looking to join foxhole then I recommend you join a regiment(clans). There a lot of them who try to focus on different things.
What's the incentive of working in a factory though? Do you level/rank up, get money to spend on the front? I don't get why anyone would play logistics in a top down war game.
you cant even do anything but logi and inf without a ton of people, and to be effective you need to be organized. I do logi and infantry and what every else I get adopted into.
@@synchc There are people who drive trucks for 10 hours then go home to play Euro Truck Simulator til it's bedtime. Are you really surprised about this at this point?
@@synchccontributing with the war effort, logistics is satisfying in that way but thats it, if logi was more fun akin to something like space engineers id play it alot more
I've always been an infantryman. Just another body thrown at the front. Highlights of my playthroughs so far would be: - Getting stuck in a relic base for a full half an hour unable to do anything as high caliber shells pounded everything around us. - A collapsing front which was saved by the timely arrival of friendly tanks. The euphoria of having the cavalry arrive and save the day was unforgettable even if I died when our infantry mass charged alongside the tanks. - Fighting in a doomed last stand alongside a single remaining Warden tank who also refused to retreat while the Collies swarmed us.
This game is teamwork. Anything form, "Can you carry this tripod so I can place this machine gun out on the frontline?" to "Hey, come be a part of my tank crew." It can be great for making people feel involved just from people talking to others, and with how many unofficial roles you can take on, some seemingly more important than others, but everything is for the war effort at the end of a day. You might be swinging a hammer relentlessly at a building of yours being besieged to stop it from falling, or you might be a medic risking their meat out in the midst of gunfire to save your fellow teammates.
Absolutely true. I bought the game months ago, and watched tutorials. I played for a few hours, and got some logi done, fired a few times at some dudes...and then joined a Bridge Battle. That bridge battle was all it took. I was hooked and now I love it.
The best part though is the Warden propaganda. I was stunned into stopping mid fire to listen to "Colonials Eat Babies. Kill the Colonial. Shoot the Colonial." Some video a dude was rambling on for like twenty minutes while they rushed us.
If you let go of the idea that you need to be able to do everything yourself and.. you know... cooperate with other people in MMO... you'll quickly learn that this game doesn't need you to play it like a job
@@chaosinsurgency6636 coming on a little strong here buddy. The people that treat it like a job do it because they enjoy it. That doesn't make it a problem, it makes it part of what makes Foxhole so unique. Any MMO is going to have a subset of players who devote their time to it like it's their job, that's not unusual at all. Look at the big clans in WoW, or heck just the average EVE Online player (/s).
I have to disagree heavily about the difficulty of basic logistics. You can learn all you need to know about basic logi just by playing the game as a frontliner, and then asking someone who knows what's going on about how to actually make stuff. It only gets complicated when you try to make your own facility or base.
I agree with that. It really is as hard or has easy as you can make it. Even sending Basic materials to a front under heavy fire or fuel to a front where it's full of tanks Is a godsend. And usually dictates wether your base gets destroyed or your tanks overrun. It really can be as easy as Hammer resources-> Refine them -> put in truck -> send to front
I agree, but it is mainly your approach on logi. If you mean delivering from a stockpile to a frontline base. Yea its pretty easy to learn. Its also easy to learn scrapping -> refinery -> factory -> seaport/stockpile. Tho that's pmuch where basic for me ends. Sulfur/components -> refinery -> MPF/factory/garage -> seaport/stockpile is a bit harder to 100% learn while the basic principles are still the same, harder to know what is needed for these resources at what frontline base. They are always pretty spread out from one another, sometimes your main logi hex will not have any of these. Facility and Naval logi a whole other thing too. Naval logi is pretty dope to see aint for me tho. The real hard part of learning logi is the gameplay loop. Not so much learning the loop, its preventing burnout. If you do not enjoy playing logi or like relaxing gameplay you will 100% burn yourself out super quick doing logi. You gotta enjoy the gameplay loop to somewhat have fun doing logi (still boring tho). Literally today I spent like 12 hours in the backline doing the same loop over and over again ~ this is why people say logi is hard imo. Now I havn't watched the video so lowkey I got no idea what he says in it. I just checked the comments cause im a player of foxhole and wanted to see what people were commenting.
Yeah you can do very effective logi by just driving your truck around also thats the best way to be the mvp on a frontline. I think its just easy to learn game but hard to master.
No sorry just telling you all the mechanics at the start and how to do something is not a fucking tutorial no one has photogenic memory and will perfectly recall everything instantly when it’s needed
Foxhole's appeal and the thing that makes the tedious less tedious, is that each small objective achieved is working towards a larger goal. I remember a war I was a part of on a front in Acrythia. It was Day 2 of the fighting so there was no tanks or arty, just good ol fashion mammon rushes. Us and the Wardens were in a 3 hour stalemate between fortifications that couldnt have been more than 40 meters apart lol. At night time the entire warden team would grab mammons, everything would go silent for a few minutes as they grabbed their grenades once darkness fell and then BOOM! 50 Wardens right on top of us out of the darkness, overwhelming our trenches just chucking HE grenades at our defenses. You couldnt see more than 20 meters in front of you so you had little time to shoot back. Inch by inch they destroyed our fortifications over a course of a few hours as we desperately tried to repair them while under fire. Colonials would slam themselves into the warden onslaught with bayonetts only for a warden to suicide himself with a grenade to take down the attacker so more Wardens could make it through. The beauty of Foxholes economy is that arguably the cheapest thing in the game to produce is small arms ammunition and your shirts (essentially your lives) which allows for this meat grinder to exist where your job as an infantryman souly revolves around tossing yourself in front of a bullet to protect your much more valued armor and static defenses for the glory of the legion. This is what makes the static meat grinder so intriguing. Battles on a front can go static for days with back and forth advancements but I know every warden I kill is one less shirt they have every second I waste is another second I stall for the bigger clans to hatch a plan to break through. Everything you do slowly contributes to the war.
And it's really nice how you have all these different scenarios. In a lot of games, you really fight the same battle with some small differences over and over again. But in Foxhole (infantry used as an example) you might be gaining and losing trenches, you might be maneuvering around open country with single enemies at the periphery of your vision, you may be on a low pop region hunting the enemy for their loot, you might be fighting in the hills and run into the enemy point-blank, you may be assaulting a Town Hall with gruesome urban combat or you might be throwing yourself at a bridge just to keep the enemy onslaught from your BB, with no ground gained and hundreds of casualties - and all of that in the day, during the night, in snow, rain, mud. Even though infantry is only one small aspect of the game it rarely ever gets boring - and if it does, you can do something else or fight somewhere else.
Foxhole is such a unique game I love it Tip: as a logi main don't ever try to do ALL the logi focus on backline, midline or frontline logi. you can look up what these mean but Logi is not just 1 job :)
@@DakkerUK to be fair, I play a lot of logi and 90% of the how to do things I learn from just asking logi chat or someone noticing I'm lost and telling me over local voice chat. And even the rest of the 10% that I looked up out of curiosity, could have been learned in the same way. Most people will be happy to help and teach you things if you ask. And those who've played for longer will even have exact specifics, numbers memorized ^^" I pass on the knowledge that I've gotten too, the cycle continues.
Or you can go to the roads just behind the enemy lines and get logi that way :) not to scare you. But quite alot of people don't give a shit and deliver to the front regardless of people stopping them, they just want to farm the commends, those people shouldn't be playing. Talking bout those NPC's with no mic, if they got a mic we usually sort it out.
It would look a bit overwhelming, but if you are interested in logistics the most important thing you should know is that basic materials, also called dearly as "bmats" are used to make mostly everything as well as fixing structures, and to make bmats you need to harvest salvage from salvage mines or fields.
Some of the people who play Foxhole has set up Factorio levels of logistics where all they do all day long is just set up the most efficient assembly line that starts with scrap and ends with finished battleships and tanks in record time. Probably something they could take with them to a job interview to show their level of commitment. ^^
@@slorgs that’s incredible, you ever get into the retro sites where they were modded? VIP was free and you had access to unlimited coins so you could create whatever you wanted?
Foxhole is complicated* The key is you dont need/want to do alot of the overly complex things, and if you want to do them, they are usually farm-intensive meaning made by a large group of players, so they can teach you. If you want to learn pretty much anything in this game, just ask in global chat and someone will come help.
I'm very much an off and on, casual Foxhole player myself; spent about 200 hours ingame spread out over several months in inconsistent chunks. And I think almost everything you said in the video is spot on, with one exception. The game as a whole is pretty crazy complex, but in my experience, the invidual parts that make up the bigger system are fairly simple and accessible. I think most new players can learn some of the basic activities like trucking, frontline infantry, or field medic, in maybe an hour or two. And there will always be a need for people who just show up out of the blue and drive a truck back and forth a couple of times or spend one battle dragging casualties back to base. And to be honest that's what i've most enjoyed doing myself, in Foxhole :) And in my experience, there's plenty of people in Foxhole who are more than willing to teach a new trucker enough to be useful or who welcome the occasional part-time medic in to their regiment. So this would be my advice for people who think this sounds like fun but who are unwilling or unable to commit for hours upon hours or who are unsure that they even want to. Just give it a try :) Hop on-line, ask around if someone's willing to show a recruit the ropes, there's almost always someone willing to help. Spend a couple of hours in a truck or with a medkit in your hands, or even just grab a rifle and head for the nearest frontline. That's all you need to be able to enjoy Foxhole. And if you find that's something you enjoy, you can totally just log in every now and then for a short simple session as a low-level grunt. That's how I've been playing Foxhole most of the time, and there will always be a place for people who can drive a truck from a to b or who are willing to run around dodging bullets with a medkit for even 30 minutes. There's even plenty of regiments who welcome that kind of occasional part time casual player, if you prefer a little bit more organised teamwork or community, I've been part of a few of them myself and people have been universally friendly and welcoming in my experience. So in other words, if you don't have the appetite or the stomach for the full menu, you can still enjoy foxhole in bite-sized chunks when the mood strikes. At least, that's been my experience
I love crafting in games, it's one of the things I most anticipate in a game when available. However, many MMOs I played have relatively lackluster crafting systems and, for me, the results of crafting in such games lack meaning as well as depth. Yet, in Foxhole the crafting system is in depth and every single thing I produce has meaning. That's what drew me into the game. Personally, I don't think the game is too complicated, you have to take it one step at a time instead of trying to learn everything simultaneously.
Over 3 years and 6000+ hours in and yet the game still keeps me coming back for more! As much as I may complain about balance, "The Vision" of the devs, etc. I will still recognize this is one of the greatest games I've ever played
I fell in love with this game because it’s so heavily relied on players which is probably it’s greatest asset as well as it’s downfall because players are so unpredictable. The game is truly and utterly realistic. Love the video!!!❤❤❤
7:29 a facility flow chart showing facility is hard but not basic logi is easy enough (scrap field to refinery to factory/mass production factory) and don't interact much with facility logi
Slorgs, I already love your videos quite a bit - I think you do a great service to the games that you cover - but something about the tone of the this, the somber yet hopeful music at the end really did something for me. Thanks for making quality videos, and I hope to continue to be your viewer into the new year!
There is one game wity an even steeper learning curve and worse community, space station 13, where your first challenge is learning the fucking controls
I'd actually really enjoy some of the uncut footage of you and Jeff just trying to make your way in this hellscape. Really interesting, creative game that I woudn't touch with a barge pole.
If you’re put off by the complexity, don’t be! Lots of vets, far from what the reviews tell you (though there are a couple bad apples) are willing to help out. Slorgs has also exaggerated the learning curve for the average player a bit - the more complex stuff is done in a regiment, where different people will be all working together and helping each other out. Lets look at truck driving, what you need to do: 1) locate a truck. This can be done in 3 ways. Retrieve it from a storage depot (barn icon on the map) or seaport (on the coast, looks like.. well, a seaport). Alternatively, find one parked somewhere. If it’s locked, you can use a wrench to unlock it. Do ask people around you if they own it first though! If, for some strange reason, there are no trucks available, you can build one at a garage. Simple enough, grab 100 basic materials (can be found at basically any bunker base) and use the garage (truck icon on the map) to construct it, then hammer away at the blueprint until it’s done. 2) refuel the truck. This only needs to be done if it didn’t have enough fuel to begin with. Do this by either grabbing a stored diesel can, or by parking next to a fuel container (big cylinder, normally yellow), exiting the vehicle, and pressing the refuel button on the vehicle’s UI. 3) go to the seaport or storage depot. Inside will be crated items that you can load up into your truck. If you like, grab another that you keep in your inventory. 4) deliver these crates to a frontline bunker! This may seem like a lot, but it boils down to truck, fuel, supplies, deliver. Far shorter than the massive chain described by Slorgs, because a lot of the parts he described are done by other players for you.
As it was always said to me, "This ain't London brotha." Hahaha 9:48 Awesome video! Absolutely well done. You hit the mark on every point! Glad you've been enjoying the game, it's a gem!
I must say, once i joined a regiment (one that is not that hardcore and want me to show up every week cause i do have a life) and had someone to ask stuff immediately and made some friend i got the opportunity to experience the game and do stuff while getting instructions from people who do know that that way im learning he game :) Love your content man and would love to introduce you to people whom will show you what's up with the game
You can still play it casually! It's usually when it comes to producing things that require a lot of knowledge and reading. But fighting, logistics, partisaning etc are easy to pick up.
When did you start playing? What wars have you been in? I started in September and played almost throughout the entirety of war 117, would've loved to see you in game. I've been watching your PR Videos and I like how you've been diversifying your content lately, really nice editing and writing even if I sometimes disagree with some points you bring up.
Best thing you can do to enjoy foxhole is join a regiment either in game or through discord. Players want to teach you partially to make you a more useful meatsack but so that you can learn to enjoy the game too. There is dedicated builders, facility managers and logi players in almost every regiment. These people allow you to do the largest and most coordinated operations and battles. But you can also just hop in and trench and ask "what can I do to help" or "how do I do this" and there will be people there to help. And you can have these amazing moments where you go from 10 random strangers to a band of brothers rushing trenches together, cordinating defensive play or disrupting enemy supplies by blocking a road and gunning down the next truck you see behind the frontline
Foxhole is now on sale and I am seriously thinking about getting it, although nowadays I am grinding Project Zomboid experience - imho Foxhole really, really deeply simulates what a real war is like, for even in real life war or basically any conflict, or even anythin relying on multiple sources, it imho still relies on the most important things: skill and knowledge. Can you imagine Euro Truck Simulator 2 if it was an MMORPG? How many times would it happen to you, just like in real life, that you would roll up in time with your fancy-ass lorry / geared out semi truck into a location where you are supposed to load or unload goods and will have to wait for couple of hours, days even, just because "noobs are in the game" and it takes them a lot of time to finish tasks, yours also. If throughout my life and my gaming career and ESPECIALLY tactical games I have learned something, then it is that COMMUNICATION is the key - is it frustrating to be surrounded by noobs (in any game or IRL scenario) ? Yes! Is it your fault if by proper communication you cannot make things happen and people cooperate? Absolutely!
I'm 90% sure that is not AI art. There are dedicated Foxhole artist out there. My regiment commisioned an art piece about 6 months ago and the art style looks very similar so it's propably the same guy
There's being such a big wave of non-foxhole youtubers doing Foxhole videos and attracting new people! Cheers mate! People like you don't keep this game alive... they DUPLICATE it's essence.
Spot on review, I was encouraged to try it by a friend, spent about 6 hours and never came back. It was just more than I cared to learn to do anything meaningful.
8:58 You nailed it on the head. I've played Foxhole since 2018 and the one thing that has changed over the years for the worse, is how much of a chore it feels like to play. Facilities take time and consistency, naval ship crewing and upkeep takes time and consistency, maintaining supply lines takes time and consistency. It's... rough for new players, especially ones with not a lot of disposable time on their hands. That being said, it's also a game that manages to bring some truly unique and wonderful experiences. I just can't recommend it on the basis that it demands your time rather than asks for it.
Love this video, every time I watch a video like this it makes me wanna go hop right back into the action fighting for the colonials! I’ve been playing for a while now (on and off since war 108 I believe) and have never stopped loving it. I am actually grinding to get to SSGT (I’m getting really close) so I can create my own regiment- wish me luck!
Foxhole's a blast. As a new(ish) player I started by hyperspecializing - just did front line logi driving. That's it. Picking up stuff from storage, and dropping it off at frontline bases. Easy stuff, you're basically an uber eats driver for instruments of death. Then I thought about focusing on what people would actaully need on the front... So, I played frontline soldier for a bit. From that, I learned about what equipment would really make a difference in the fighting. What would give us an advantage? What do we need? I applied that knowledge back to logi running and the commends (praises from other players) started flowing in 😎 I've expanded out from there recently to manufacturing, shipping, driving, and commanding a tank with crew. Start small and expand at your own pace. Anything you do makes a difference, no matter how small the contribution. If you like that feeling, Foxhole's the game for you.
I have most definitely played it… I played it at the first early access launch! It has changed so, so much. So much deeper with more ways to play it now. I’m really excited about the new melee weapons in this recent update
I always imagine foxhole players playing the game in a dark room with a blanket over their head waiting for the sun to come up so they can go to their IRL job
8:20 some thing are simpler than the other in Foxhole. Obtaining a basic logi truck requires barely any effort - you either find 100 basic materials lying around and hammer it up in a garage, you just pull a public truck out of a storage depot or just hop into an unlocked truck you bunp into randomly. There learning curve is not very steep, it takes time to grasp the more complex mechanics, but you dont need to know those to have fun in this game. Learning stuff in Foxhole is actually really fun itself, especially when you get help from more experienced players, many of whom are always eager to help the newbies like myself. I got 800 hours in this game and didnt even manage to try out everything there is to it, yet Im still having fun playing it
Just played this today and learning the logistics portion got me hooked. I spent 10 hrs delivering equipment to a small island lmaoooo did not fire a single shot 😅
cheers man, i think the play is definitely to invest spare time into 1 banger video at a time when your time is limited instead of trying to cover all the updates and shit because that will wear you down real fast, at least in my experience as a fellow also having a full time job enjoyer
@@slorgs Funny you say that! I did my best work yet (spent too much time) on THREE videos starting 5 videos ago... "High Production" lol AND, they winded up being literally my poorest performing videos in years! My community said I should not put too too much effort into any one single video... But truth be told, I still lean with you, I put at least ENOUGH effort into each and every video! yeah yeah, I made my BEST video yet, in 7 years! However, it is not "TH-cam friendly" as it is the type of video you need to watch all the way through haha. That, and I totally fumbled with the Title and Thumbnail as I was kind of rushed to get it out by that point! Yeah, I gave it an AI thumbnail (boo this man!) and the Title doesn't fully represent what the video is REALLY about. With that said, if and when you have a spare 12 minutes, I implore you to watch this video! I drop some old man gaming knowledge for real for real, and I think you will enjoy it! I talk about something pretty profound actually, and I have yet to see anyone else touch on exactly what I touch on in this video... But anyway, sorry for the novel, keep kicking ass! Consider watching this video of mine, if you ever watch any! I know you will enjoy it, and you should learn quite a bit about the gaming industry, and maybe even take a little convoluted look into "Gaming's" future! 😁🪖 th-cam.com/video/9FoqFOR5fww/w-d-xo.html&t
I saw naval invasion into Fishermans Row island . Yes , i am the one of who defending that island and i was the one who build AI Pill box near the cliff you guys has been shot. We successfully defended that naval invasion but sadly after 12 hours we lost control the island. GG
There was something talking about the Winter War update, years ago, and then i found the videos about it and I could not be happier with a game. No other game can capture the essence of warfare, especially the reality of logistics, how long and tiring combat can be, even simulated, and how you might just end up staring at a stretch of land for a hot minute. Why, you would ask, before seeing the next platoon to company sized element assaulting your position. Oh and its been three days of fighting over the same few buildings and trenches, with thousands upon thousands dead to take one town hall or safe house that just refuses to fall. If this game ever took off, popularity wise, it would be amazing, but also horrifying. Frontline fights are always a mixture of WW1 trench warfare mixed with WW2 urban close quarters and tank warfare. GLORY FOR THE WARDEN EMPIRE!!
This video convinced me. I saw it on sale and said to myself that I will rather buy something else even after I knew about this game for years. Good job slorgs, love your content.
One of the reasons why I liked the foxhole was that it was open to many things. I always wished that the games did not give you a reward when you did something in particular, because the game gives me a reward, whereas when someone else does a job, I don't want them to even thank you (by the way, you explained it very well, I thank you for this data). I hope this can be a guide for new players or people who play this game can teach new players to be more economical.❤
This game is amazing! Had a blast playing the other day even without a mic, I was accepted into the 501 squad after derping around with them and then our island got attacked by a gun boat and we had to evacuate the supplies! 11/10 and I wish this game had come out when I was younger and had more time to actually play
I love Foxhole. I did a lot of solo logi stuff earlier this year and it was fun. Relaxing but at the same time you feel the weight of the frontline's needs pushing you to be swift. It wasn't uncommon for me to see a request for shirts, guns, or ammo at the front and then I'd get there to find no trace of our men any longer. Then there's the time we'd have a hex nearly being overrun by Collies, but the only "safe" path through was a hotzone for partisan activity and the other routes are straight through Collie territory...tough times... Fun game
Saved equal to 800 lives last night in endless shore while my warden buddies kept mammon rushing, was a sight to behold. The rushes were so entertaining
"And yet, you'll never play it..."
This is the obligatory "Oh yeah? Well I already play it, so there!" comment.
You're welcome.
Same bro same
"I got news for you buddy, how do you think I got here?"
same
I'm playing it right now. Logi is love, logi is life.
Well, what am I going to comment now??
The thing I fell in love with is the teamwork with strangers. 20 randoms coming together to rush the enemy spawn point with HE grenades is something I've never seen before 😅
Oh nice seeing you here. Do you regularly watch slorgs videos?
I been watching a bunch of your vids lol
@@splizzex I saw the thumbnail and thought the tanks looked familiar 😅
Ward wardenson is it you?
and things like that are just an everyday thing in foxhole
Great video about Foxhole! This game is definitely not for everyone but for those of us that do fall in love with it, we fall hard. Logistic is what made me get this game. And I love doing my logistics "job" when I log in and supplying the fronts to help our faction move forward. And side note the thing about mass reporting has gone down, but it does still exist unfortunately. We are working on building a more positive and welcoming community for new players. Thanks again for making this!

@RobertLovesGames how does it feel having replaced feerek as "the tutorial guy"
One of my favorite aspects of Foxhole is the artillery system. Artillery guns can shoot incredibly far- so far, in fact, that the binoculars won't let you see out to their minimum range. This means any spotters have to approach the front lines and do _trigonometry_ to calculate the optimal firing vector.
There are tools online that will do the trig for you.
@@Habo777-o4qwind could affect the shell so you need an observer. Small flags on each building change according to wind speed and direction.
@@rinsonator1668 sounds like some PVT that havent used the calculators for arty before
@sebastianeriksen5619 the real vets don't need the calculators anymore and do it by finger feeling and adjust afterwards. That is if the arty doesn't get obliterated by retaliation fire after the first shell hits 5 meter too far to the right
I love doing vibe based artillery spotting
the most horrifying moment i've ever had in gaming was in foxhole. namely taking a trench/bunker system only to be wiped out by a counter attack with the collies using flamethrowers, it was like something out of all quiet on the western front.
My favorite Foxhole moment. 4 partisans caught me on the way to the front with supplies. I hopped out of my truck and took cover behind it. They were coming from the front of the truck and I only had a pistol to defend myself. I peeked around the corner and took out the two on my left side before they could fire back. I moved to the left side of the truck while the two remaining enemies came from the right side. I peeked the back corner where I had just been standing and took out another enemy. The final enemy panicked and tried to run away and I shot him in the back. I took all of their gear and delivered it with my supplies to the front. The guys at the front asked where I got Warden gear and after I told them the story everyone cheered and commended me. Foxhole is an incredible game! Logi gang!
Somebody call an ambulance!
That's awesome! There's nothing quite like being at a significant disadvantage but still managing to claim a win.
Great story,cheers from a Warden! :)
Love it!
LOL the absolute disrespect of taking their gear and delivering to your guys is amazing 10/10
I remember when i bought Foxhole couple years back. I spawned in frontline region "Faranac coast" i think was a name.
I was trying to figure out what to do and all of sudden some dude pulled up with a truck.
He noticed i am new, he tell everyone to commend me and asked me what my favorite animal is.
I then jumped into the truck, he brought me to the actual front and i died shortly after.
In this map, there is (or maybe was) this narrow path with rock on both sides of the road. We were fighting back and forth there for 3-4 days.
Finally we pushed through and take out enemy base. I died in the process... but as i was going back from spawn, i had one of the best moment in gaming.
There was column on the right of the road - tanks, trucks bringing supply to new base, construction vehicles, bus full of soldiers and in the other direction, there was column of push guns, tanks and truck which we stole from the colies. Everyone was cheering and yelling. It was special
The feeling of being there when the front gives and moves, I'm not sure there is anything like it in any other game.
Love it!
You should pick it back up. Moments like those happen all the time!
@@smithynoir9980yeah, even when you l'ose a front, the desperate scrambling, people trying to empty the base of stuff before it gets taken while others hold the line as much as they can to give everyone time.
It is intense and beautiful

If you aren't aware, these same devs are making a medieval version of this game called Anvil Empires, if you want to REALLY feel like a peasant toiling for your feudal lords. It's not out yet but they run closed betas and it has a steam page.
That's sweet, I was thinking a medieval version of Foxhole would be sweet.
I have got a notification today that foxhole is on sale, and it also have listed for me other games from these devs and Anvil Empires has really gotten my attention just from the thumbnail, it was an instant wishlist hehe
Holy shit man, that's amazing news

tbh, I find the idea of medieval version would be more intrigue than world war settings, I hope they're success with Anvil Empires as I find Foxhole despite being a good game, is so difficult to get you hook into

Community is nicest one i seen in gaming
You saved yourself by being sharp enough to seek distraction and community instead of focusing on the negative alone. Give yourself some credit, homie.
The thing about Foxhole is you learn whatever small section you're interested in. Whether that be Infantry, Trucker, Factory worker, Engineer, Scraper gatherer. Tanker, Seaman, etc. Its near impossible to do it all but it forces people to band together and each pick a piece of the puzzle to create cohesive organizations. If anyone is looking to join foxhole then I recommend you join a regiment(clans). There a lot of them who try to focus on different things.
What's the incentive of working in a factory though? Do you level/rank up, get money to spend on the front? I don't get why anyone would play logistics in a top down war game.
you cant even do anything but logi and inf without a ton of people, and to be effective you need to be organized. I do logi and infantry and what every else I get adopted into.

I've always been an infantryman. Just another body thrown at the front.
Highlights of my playthroughs so far would be:
- Getting stuck in a relic base for a full half an hour unable to do anything as high caliber shells pounded everything around us.
- A collapsing front which was saved by the timely arrival of friendly tanks. The euphoria of having the cavalry arrive and save the day was unforgettable even if I died when our infantry mass charged alongside the tanks.
- Fighting in a doomed last stand alongside a single remaining Warden tank who also refused to retreat while the Collies swarmed us.
This game is teamwork. Anything form, "Can you carry this tripod so I can place this machine gun out on the frontline?" to "Hey, come be a part of my tank crew." It can be great for making people feel involved just from people talking to others, and with how many unofficial roles you can take on, some seemingly more important than others, but everything is for the war effort at the end of a day. You might be swinging a hammer relentlessly at a building of yours being besieged to stop it from falling, or you might be a medic risking their meat out in the midst of gunfire to save your fellow teammates.
Absolutely true. I bought the game months ago, and watched tutorials. I played for a few hours, and got some logi done, fired a few times at some dudes...and then joined a Bridge Battle. That bridge battle was all it took. I was hooked and now I love it.
The best part though is the Warden propaganda. I was stunned into stopping mid fire to listen to "Colonials Eat Babies. Kill the Colonial. Shoot the Colonial." Some video a dude was rambling on for like twenty minutes while they rushed us.
@@BlackTalonGaming Propaganda?
I have witnessed this act on the frontlines, they even ate the parents after.
FOR CAOIVA!!
If you let go of the idea that you need to be able to do everything yourself and.. you know... cooperate with other people in MMO... you'll quickly learn that this game doesn't need you to play it like a job
You just have other people have to play it like a job yeah just ignore the problem and there isnt one genius
@@chaosinsurgency6636 coming on a little strong here buddy. The people that treat it like a job do it because they enjoy it. That doesn't make it a problem, it makes it part of what makes Foxhole so unique. Any MMO is going to have a subset of players who devote their time to it like it's their job, that's not unusual at all. Look at the big clans in WoW, or heck just the average EVE Online player (/s).
1:10 Yep I was right
I have to disagree heavily about the difficulty of basic logistics. You can learn all you need to know about basic logi just by playing the game as a frontliner, and then asking someone who knows what's going on about how to actually make stuff. It only gets complicated when you try to make your own facility or base.
I agree with that. It really is as hard or has easy as you can make it.
Even sending Basic materials to a front under heavy fire or fuel to a front where it's full of tanks Is a godsend. And usually dictates wether your base gets destroyed or your tanks overrun.
It really can be as easy as Hammer resources-> Refine them -> put in truck -> send to front
I agree, but it is mainly your approach on logi. If you mean delivering from a stockpile to a frontline base. Yea its pretty easy to learn. Its also easy to learn scrapping -> refinery -> factory -> seaport/stockpile. Tho that's pmuch where basic for me ends. Sulfur/components -> refinery -> MPF/factory/garage -> seaport/stockpile is a bit harder to 100% learn while the basic principles are still the same, harder to know what is needed for these resources at what frontline base. They are always pretty spread out from one another, sometimes your main logi hex will not have any of these. Facility and Naval logi a whole other thing too. Naval logi is pretty dope to see aint for me tho.
The real hard part of learning logi is the gameplay loop. Not so much learning the loop, its preventing burnout. If you do not enjoy playing logi or like relaxing gameplay you will 100% burn yourself out super quick doing logi. You gotta enjoy the gameplay loop to somewhat have fun doing logi (still boring tho). Literally today I spent like 12 hours in the backline doing the same loop over and over again ~ this is why people say logi is hard imo.
Now I havn't watched the video so lowkey I got no idea what he says in it. I just checked the comments cause im a player of foxhole and wanted to see what people were commenting.
Yeah you can do very effective logi by just driving your truck around also thats the best way to be the mvp on a frontline. I think its just easy to learn game but hard to master.
No sorry just telling you all the mechanics at the start and how to do something is not a fucking tutorial no one has photogenic memory and will perfectly recall everything instantly when it’s needed
@@chaosinsurgency6636 oh no! He's salty cuz his brain small.. 😢
0:48 he hasn’t even said the title of the game and I can already tell he’s talking about foxhole
Foxhole's appeal and the thing that makes the tedious less tedious, is that each small objective achieved is working towards a larger goal. I remember a war I was a part of on a front in Acrythia. It was Day 2 of the fighting so there was no tanks or arty, just good ol fashion mammon rushes. Us and the Wardens were in a 3 hour stalemate between fortifications that couldnt have been more than 40 meters apart lol. At night time the entire warden team would grab mammons, everything would go silent for a few minutes as they grabbed their grenades once darkness fell and then BOOM! 50 Wardens right on top of us out of the darkness, overwhelming our trenches just chucking HE grenades at our defenses. You couldnt see more than 20 meters in front of you so you had little time to shoot back. Inch by inch they destroyed our fortifications over a course of a few hours as we desperately tried to repair them while under fire. Colonials would slam themselves into the warden onslaught with bayonetts only for a warden to suicide himself with a grenade to take down the attacker so more Wardens could make it through. The beauty of Foxholes economy is that arguably the cheapest thing in the game to produce is small arms ammunition and your shirts (essentially your lives) which allows for this meat grinder to exist where your job as an infantryman souly revolves around tossing yourself in front of a bullet to protect your much more valued armor and static defenses for the glory of the legion. This is what makes the static meat grinder so intriguing. Battles on a front can go static for days with back and forth advancements but I know every warden I kill is one less shirt they have every second I waste is another second I stall for the bigger clans to hatch a plan to break through. Everything you do slowly contributes to the war.
And it's really nice how you have all these different scenarios. In a lot of games, you really fight the same battle with some small differences over and over again. But in Foxhole (infantry used as an example) you might be gaining and losing trenches, you might be maneuvering around open country with single enemies at the periphery of your vision, you may be on a low pop region hunting the enemy for their loot, you might be fighting in the hills and run into the enemy point-blank, you may be assaulting a Town Hall with gruesome urban combat or you might be throwing yourself at a bridge just to keep the enemy onslaught from your BB, with no ground gained and hundreds of casualties - and all of that in the day, during the night, in snow, rain, mud. Even though infantry is only one small aspect of the game it rarely ever gets boring - and if it does, you can do something else or fight somewhere else.
This game IMHO is truly one of the best games out, there is nothing else like it.
Yeah,it's one of those "games-experiences" that don't happen that often. And I don't even like multiplayer.
Foxhole is such a unique game I love it
Tip: as a logi main don't ever try to do ALL the logi focus on backline, midline or frontline logi. you can look up what these mean but Logi is not just 1 job :)
"you can look up what these mean"
Case in point lol
@DakkerUK look it's a lot to explain in a post versus a short video tutorial ok lol
@@DakkerUK to be fair, I play a lot of logi and 90% of the how to do things I learn from just asking logi chat or someone noticing I'm lost and telling me over local voice chat. And even the rest of the 10% that I looked up out of curiosity, could have been learned in the same way. Most people will be happy to help and teach you things if you ask. And those who've played for longer will even have exact specifics, numbers memorized ^^"
I pass on the knowledge that I've gotten too, the cycle continues.
Or you can go to the roads just behind the enemy lines and get logi that way :) not to scare you.
But quite alot of people don't give a shit and deliver to the front regardless of people stopping them, they just want to farm the commends, those people shouldn't be playing. Talking bout those NPC's with no mic, if they got a mic we usually sort it out.
It would look a bit overwhelming, but if you are interested in logistics the most important thing you should know is that basic materials, also called dearly as "bmats" are used to make mostly everything as well as fixing structures, and to make bmats you need to harvest salvage from salvage mines or fields.
Honestly, it's understated just how important the scrap scroopers are! The legend that scraps and fills the refinery, they are everybodies hero!
I'm currently at 5095 hours on foxhole, been playing for 4 years, yet still learning new things.
"You'll never play it."

Freakin' second-hand PTSD from being shelled. 10/10 great game no notes. Siege Camp pls pay for my therapy.
Some of the people who play Foxhole has set up Factorio levels of logistics where all they do all day long is just set up the most efficient assembly line that starts with scrap and ends with finished battleships and tanks in record time.
Probably something they could take with them to a job interview to show their level of commitment. ^^
It's groups of players that do this. It's not really that weird. People get on 1-3 hours a night with friends and build factories together.

I am so glad I discovered your channel. Your writing and story-telling is absolutely amazing. I love this topic!
I'm very much an off and on, casual Foxhole player myself; spent about 200 hours ingame spread out over several months in inconsistent chunks. And I think almost everything you said in the video is spot on, with one exception. The game as a whole is pretty crazy complex, but in my experience, the invidual parts that make up the bigger system are fairly simple and accessible.
I think most new players can learn some of the basic activities like trucking, frontline infantry, or field medic, in maybe an hour or two. And there will always be a need for people who just show up out of the blue and drive a truck back and forth a couple of times or spend one battle dragging casualties back to base. And to be honest that's what i've most enjoyed doing myself, in Foxhole :)
And in my experience, there's plenty of people in Foxhole who are more than willing to teach a new trucker enough to be useful or who welcome the occasional part-time medic in to their regiment.
So this would be my advice for people who think this sounds like fun but who are unwilling or unable to commit for hours upon hours or who are unsure that they even want to.
Just give it a try :)
Hop on-line, ask around if someone's willing to show a recruit the ropes, there's almost always someone willing to help. Spend a couple of hours in a truck or with a medkit in your hands, or even just grab a rifle and head for the nearest frontline. That's all you need to be able to enjoy Foxhole. And if you find that's something you enjoy, you can totally just log in every now and then for a short simple session as a low-level grunt. That's how I've been playing Foxhole most of the time, and there will always be a place for people who can drive a truck from a to b or who are willing to run around dodging bullets with a medkit for even 30 minutes.
There's even plenty of regiments who welcome that kind of occasional part time casual player, if you prefer a little bit more organised teamwork or community, I've been part of a few of them myself and people have been universally friendly and welcoming in my experience. So in other words, if you don't have the appetite or the stomach for the full menu, you can still enjoy foxhole in bite-sized chunks when the mood strikes. At least, that's been my experience
I love crafting in games, it's one of the things I most anticipate in a game when available. However, many MMOs I played have relatively lackluster crafting systems and, for me, the results of crafting in such games lack meaning as well as depth. Yet, in Foxhole the crafting system is in depth and every single thing I produce has meaning. That's what drew me into the game. Personally, I don't think the game is too complicated, you have to take it one step at a time instead of trying to learn everything simultaneously.
Over 3 years and 6000+ hours in and yet the game still keeps me coming back for more! As much as I may complain about balance, "The Vision" of the devs, etc. I will still recognize this is one of the greatest games I've ever played

Welcome to Foxhole, who makes the bullets? YOU DO!
i love your writing omg it's only been getting better and better, good job!
It is incredible how far you've went Slorgs! This video and it quality is a testament to that!
Amazing video! Really touched on some amazing parts of the game. Didnt expect the Alex Honnold reference. Definitely subbing after this
I'd actually really enjoy some of the uncut footage of you and Jeff just trying to make your way in this hellscape. Really interesting, creative game that I woudn't touch with a barge pole.
If you’re put off by the complexity, don’t be! Lots of vets, far from what the reviews tell you (though there are a couple bad apples) are willing to help out. Slorgs has also exaggerated the learning curve for the average player a bit - the more complex stuff is done in a regiment, where different people will be all working together and helping each other out.
Lets look at truck driving, what you need to do:
1) locate a truck. This can be done in 3 ways. Retrieve it from a storage depot (barn icon on the map) or seaport (on the coast, looks like.. well, a seaport). Alternatively, find one parked somewhere. If it’s locked, you can use a wrench to unlock it. Do ask people around you if they own it first though! If, for some strange reason, there are no trucks available, you can build one at a garage. Simple enough, grab 100 basic materials (can be found at basically any bunker base) and use the garage (truck icon on the map) to construct it, then hammer away at the blueprint until it’s done.
2) refuel the truck. This only needs to be done if it didn’t have enough fuel to begin with. Do this by either grabbing a stored diesel can, or by parking next to a fuel container (big cylinder, normally yellow), exiting the vehicle, and pressing the refuel button on the vehicle’s UI.
3) go to the seaport or storage depot. Inside will be crated items that you can load up into your truck. If you like, grab another that you keep in your inventory.
4) deliver these crates to a frontline bunker!
This may seem like a lot, but it boils down to truck, fuel, supplies, deliver. Far shorter than the massive chain described by Slorgs, because a lot of the parts he described are done by other players for you.
As it was always said to me, "This ain't London brotha." Hahaha 9:48
Awesome video! Absolutely well done. You hit the mark on every point!
Glad you've been enjoying the game, it's a gem!
It's not that "difficult" or "complex" game. Just join a good regiment and within few years you will be ok on the main things. I promise
I love how half of the intro clips were squad
I must say, once i joined a regiment (one that is not that hardcore and want me to show up every week cause i do have a life) and had someone to ask stuff immediately and made some friend i got the opportunity to experience the game and do stuff while getting instructions from people who do know that that way im learning he game :)
Love your content man and would love to introduce you to people whom will show you what's up with the game
You can still play it casually! It's usually when it comes to producing things that require a lot of knowledge and reading. But fighting, logistics, partisaning etc are easy to pick up.
When did you start playing? What wars have you been in? I started in September and played almost throughout the entirety of war 117, would've loved to see you in game. I've been watching your PR Videos and I like how you've been diversifying your content lately, really nice editing and writing even if I sometimes disagree with some points you bring up.
Ok this is sick! Thank you for making this video I’m definitely gonna play this now despite the title
Best thing you can do to enjoy foxhole is join a regiment either in game or through discord. Players want to teach you partially to make you a more useful meatsack but so that you can learn to enjoy the game too. There is dedicated builders, facility managers and logi players in almost every regiment. These people allow you to do the largest and most coordinated operations and battles. But you can also just hop in and trench and ask "what can I do to help" or "how do I do this" and there will be people there to help. And you can have these amazing moments where you go from 10 random strangers to a band of brothers rushing trenches together, cordinating defensive play or disrupting enemy supplies by blocking a road and gunning down the next truck you see behind the frontline
great video dude
thanks mate
slorgs is now a foxholetuber confirmed
your intro to the game should be the first open cutscene! The last Hanged Men merc monologuing before he dies!
Foxhole is now on sale and I am seriously thinking about getting it, although nowadays I am grinding Project Zomboid experience - imho Foxhole really, really deeply simulates what a real war is like, for even in real life war or basically any conflict, or even anythin relying on multiple sources, it imho still relies on the most important things: skill and knowledge.
Can you imagine Euro Truck Simulator 2 if it was an MMORPG? How many times would it happen to you, just like in real life, that you would roll up in time with your fancy-ass lorry / geared out semi truck into a location where you are supposed to load or unload goods and will have to wait for couple of hours, days even, just because "noobs are in the game" and it takes them a lot of time to finish tasks, yours also.
If throughout my life and my gaming career and ESPECIALLY tactical games I have learned something, then it is that COMMUNICATION is the key - is it frustrating to be surrounded by noobs (in any game or IRL scenario) ? Yes! Is it your fault if by proper communication you cannot make things happen and people cooperate? Absolutely!
The intro art is some of the best ai art i've seen for foxhole.

I've been playing it since the war started! 7 hours and counting!
8:58 You nailed it on the head.
I've played Foxhole since 2018 and the one thing that has changed over the years for the worse, is how much of a chore it feels like to play. Facilities take time and consistency, naval ship crewing and upkeep takes time and consistency, maintaining supply lines takes time and consistency. It's... rough for new players, especially ones with not a lot of disposable time on their hands.
That being said, it's also a game that manages to bring some truly unique and wonderful experiences. I just can't recommend it on the basis that it demands your time rather than asks for it.
I came to foxhole from Eve Online. Foxhole is piss easy to learn and not at all complicated!
Love this video, every time I watch a video like this it makes me wanna go hop right back into the action fighting for the colonials! I’ve been playing for a while now (on and off since war 108 I believe) and have never stopped loving it.
I am actually grinding to get to SSGT (I’m getting really close) so I can create my own regiment- wish me luck!
The game I've owned for years and yet don't have more than 30 hours in. I think we're the same bald egg, slorgs.
Foxhole is the GOAT
*This looks like a 2nd job*
Foxhole's a blast.
As a new(ish) player I started by hyperspecializing - just did front line logi driving. That's it. Picking up stuff from storage, and dropping it off at frontline bases.
Easy stuff, you're basically an uber eats driver for instruments of death.
Then I thought about focusing on what people would actaully need on the front... So, I played frontline soldier for a bit.
From that, I learned about what equipment would really make a difference in the fighting. What would give us an advantage? What do we need?
I applied that knowledge back to logi running and the commends (praises from other players) started flowing in 😎
I've expanded out from there recently to manufacturing, shipping, driving, and commanding a tank with crew.
Start small and expand at your own pace.
Anything you do makes a difference, no matter how small the contribution. If you like that feeling, Foxhole's the game for you.
I have most definitely played it… I played it at the first early access launch! It has changed so, so much. So much deeper with more ways to play it now. I’m really excited about the new melee weapons in this recent update
I always imagine foxhole players playing the game in a dark room with a blanket over their head waiting for the sun to come up so they can go to their IRL job
Thinking about playing Foxhole: 🤩🤗😲
Actually playing Foxhole: 😩🥴🤬
8:20 some thing are simpler than the other in Foxhole. Obtaining a basic logi truck requires barely any effort - you either find 100 basic materials lying around and hammer it up in a garage, you just pull a public truck out of a storage depot or just hop into an unlocked truck you bunp into randomly. There learning curve is not very steep, it takes time to grasp the more complex mechanics, but you dont need to know those to have fun in this game. Learning stuff in Foxhole is actually really fun itself, especially when you get help from more experienced players, many of whom are always eager to help the newbies like myself. I got 800 hours in this game and didnt even manage to try out everything there is to it, yet Im still having fun playing it
Just played this today and learning the logistics portion got me hooked. I spent 10 hrs delivering equipment to a small island lmaoooo did not fire a single shot 😅
When I first got the game I wandered around in the backlines confused lol
My time in foxhole was 90% dying and 10% being the most heroic medic i could be lol

Best Milsim Creator!!!
You inspire me Slorgs! My biggest problem is, having enough free time outside of working, to make videos!
Keep killin' mate!
It's always actual toxic people complaining about "the toxicity" it seems... lol
Have you seen the First Person Perspective mod?
It's pretty gnarly, I'm sure it's janky as hell, but the novelty alone is worth checking out!
cheers man, i think the play is definitely to invest spare time into 1 banger video at a time when your time is limited instead of trying to cover all the updates and shit because that will wear you down real fast, at least in my experience as a fellow also having a full time job enjoyer
@@slorgs Funny you say that! I did my best work yet (spent too much time) on THREE videos starting 5 videos ago... "High Production" lol
AND, they winded up being literally my poorest performing videos in years!
My community said I should not put too too much effort into any one single video...
But truth be told, I still lean with you, I put at least ENOUGH effort into each and every video!
yeah yeah, I made my BEST video yet, in 7 years! However, it is not "TH-cam friendly" as it is the type of video you need to watch all the way through haha.
That, and I totally fumbled with the Title and Thumbnail as I was kind of rushed to get it out by that point!
Yeah, I gave it an AI thumbnail (boo this man!) and the Title doesn't fully represent what the video is REALLY about.
With that said, if and when you have a spare 12 minutes, I implore you to watch this video! I drop some old man gaming knowledge for real for real, and I think you will enjoy it!
I talk about something pretty profound actually, and I have yet to see anyone else touch on exactly what I touch on in this video... But anyway, sorry for the novel, keep kicking ass!
Consider watching this video of mine, if you ever watch any! I know you will enjoy it, and you should learn quite a bit about the gaming industry, and maybe even take a little convoluted look into "Gaming's" future! 😁🪖

@@boogie5 You're a misim TH-camr too?
I saw naval invasion into Fishermans Row island . Yes , i am the one of who defending that island and i was the one who build AI Pill box near the cliff you guys has been shot. We successfully defended that naval invasion but sadly after 12 hours we lost control the island. GG
As soon as I read the title I knew this would be about Foxhole, and I've never had the pleasure of playing.
This kind of top down. Shows project zomboid. Yes my beloved
Such an immense wealth of artwork has been made for this game over the years, its actually crazy. And yet you still used ai art for the intro...
I really appreciate the Royal Navy advert reference.
Soldier/cannon fodder -> Scrap Collector -> Logi Driver -> Basic weapons builder -> Base builder -> Vehicle builder -> Train builder -> Factory builder -> Ship builder.
I reckon that's the learning curve
There was something talking about the Winter War update, years ago, and then i found the videos about it and I could not be happier with a game. No other game can capture the essence of warfare, especially the reality of logistics, how long and tiring combat can be, even simulated, and how you might just end up staring at a stretch of land for a hot minute. Why, you would ask, before seeing the next platoon to company sized element assaulting your position. Oh and its been three days of fighting over the same few buildings and trenches, with thousands upon thousands dead to take one town hall or safe house that just refuses to fall. If this game ever took off, popularity wise, it would be amazing, but also horrifying. Frontline fights are always a mixture of WW1 trench warfare mixed with WW2 urban close quarters and tank warfare.
GLORY FOR THE WARDEN EMPIRE!!
This video convinced me.
I saw it on sale and said to myself that I will rather buy something else even after I knew about this game for years.
Good job slorgs, love your content.
One of the reasons why I liked the foxhole was that it was open to many things. I always wished that the games did not give you a reward when you did something in particular, because the game gives me a reward, whereas when someone else does a job, I don't want them to even thank you (by the way, you explained it very well, I thank you for this data). I hope this can be a guide for new players or people who play this game can teach new players to be more economical.❤
This game is amazing! Had a blast playing the other day even without a mic, I was accepted into the 501 squad after derping around with them and then our island got attacked by a gun boat and we had to evacuate the supplies! 11/10 and I wish this game had come out when I was younger and had more time to actually play
"I'll never go anywhere near it, but I will gladly watch other people do it." You pretty much just summed up everything new in this game bud.
I love Foxhole. I did a lot of solo logi stuff earlier this year and it was fun. Relaxing but at the same time you feel the weight of the frontline's needs pushing you to be swift. It wasn't uncommon for me to see a request for shirts, guns, or ammo at the front and then I'd get there to find no trace of our men any longer. Then there's the time we'd have a hex nearly being overrun by Collies, but the only "safe" path through was a hotzone for partisan activity and the other routes are straight through Collie territory...tough times...
Fun game
Saved equal to 800 lives last night in endless shore while my warden buddies kept mammon rushing, was a sight to behold. The rushes were so entertaining
