    All the work you had to put to explain veterancy really shows how appreciative we should be for games like Deserts of Kharak, where each unit has a tab explaining exactly what each echelon of veterancy does, and how far from the next one said unit is...
    ... And then to see it get focus fired and blown before you could even select it...

  • @Redeemed2163
    @Redeemed2163 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I think the reason on some maps you gain veterancy faster with rebel bases is due the the veterancy of the units on those bases and the amount of units on those bases. Some maps have more units per rebel base than others and they have higher veterancy.

    • @antiwave5294
      @antiwave5294  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's definitely a factor for some like Beaselys and Fort Deen. But Frozen Valley and Fort Deen have the same amount of Rebels per base (however Frozen valley does have more base locations).
      Good point

    • @antiwave5294
      @antiwave5294  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Glad you enjoyed the video! I shoulda brought it up, the information was founded by a person named "Abaddon" on steam; accessed the game files and stated
      "Having a Spartan inside the vehicle adds an extra 1.15x damage and 0.86% damage multiplier on top of pre-existing veterancy."
      So plugging in the values and doing a little bit of math a 13 star power turret scorpion tank has
      -23061hp
      -661.5dps
      -0.64% damage multiplier on taken damage. (damage resistance)
      The effects of these numbers are shown in part 2

    The reason nobody talked about Veterancy is because the game itself told you about what it does on the main menu.
    But leaves it at "increases HP and damage output". And doesn't tell you that upgrading units counts as a hidden veterancy upgrade nor the faster HP regen.

    so why is It that HW2 feel missing somehting?

    • @antiwave5294
      @antiwave5294  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      -Jerome grants Veterancy through a leader power called Field Promotion (Ruins the whole point of earning stars)
      What HW2 is missing is "Rebel bases"
      - There's no Rebel base faction equivalent of bases on any HW2 Map , every base slot is free(ON EVERY MAP). The closest thing to rebels are the sentinels around power nodes which only give stars to infantry units at most.
      Because there's no units to bank on stars with beforehand the ONLY WAY to earn Veterancy is through simply killing the opponents units over and over again while keeping yours alive which already a challenge giving the unit variety
      Thus games are significantly faster with no effort getting expansion bases (aside from enemy players taking it from you)
      While many games in HWDE end without killing rebel bases the fact it's there adds a layer and another factor of something in the way
