Rally Point 30- New DLC for Attila to be announced. Free if...

[Crandar]

we stopped getting owned by CoH fandom for three years in a row. I hope we defeat them this time, not because I care about the DLC, but because CoH is thinly veiled Nazi apologist propaganda. A despicable game.

Skip to 5:28, if you find Warhammer incredibly boring.

Thoughts about the DLC?
I bet that it's going to be about the Slavs, which is pretty ironic, considering that this is the ethnic group against which Relic obviously has a vendetta.

By CoH, do you mean company of heroes? Is that sarcasm or do you really think it's Nazi propaganda?

To be accurate, it's anti-communist propaganda, which turns into pro-Nazi one, because the Soviets were the enemies of Nazi Germany.

lol, I never played the campaign in coh2. I just find this whole thing a joke from a strictly PVP RTS battle standpoint. Anyways, more backroom discussion than anything.

The reason TW always loses in this is because CoH2 has a much higher player base and Rome2 was so crappy on release that it killed whatever player base it would have.

I did. And they made the NKVD guy in charge of the Soviet protagonist an evil murderous asshole. Plus to make the Soviet protagonist sympathetic he's not really cut out for combat duty. Or life in Stalinist Russia in general. And you can tell fairly quickly that all of Relic's research for CoH2 was watching Enemy at the gates. And any Cold war era Soviet troupe they could think of.


Besides if anything in CoH heroes is pro-Nazi it's the second expansion for the first game. Where the single player campaign protagonist is a Waffen-SS officer around Arnhem, Wolfgang Berger. And they are portrayed very sympathetically.

Because we all know Stalin and the NKVD were paragons of virtue throughout their history. It's a story, getting upset over it is silly. Relax comrades and understand that Russian leadership during WW2 was not a super nice happy go lucky bunch of hippies but a pretty brutal party incredibly equivalent to the Nazi party.

The problem is that the game is intentionally lying. Not just misrepresenting the defensive war of the Soviet citizens, as some sort of an aggressive action, but they clearly lie.

Example:
A loading screen is a letter of a "common" soldier who states how unjust and bloody the war is and how every soldier didn't want to fight for such a horrible cause.
The problem is that the author was a Soviet general and he was talking about WWI. Goebbels would be proud.

Me, I just think the contest is stupid, and CA needs to pull their heads out in the design of it such that it's possible for the TW side to win. As it is, this is just a yearly self-own by CA, something they already regularly do in their game design decisions, so not sure why they feel the need to pile on themselves.

Honestly, I think most of that is intentional.

I got it in Attila and Rome II, since she was uninterested in history, but being given she used to be a Warhammer Youtuber, her lack of passion is a bit strange.

Bein funneh!

Irony confirmed, old rascals! It's the Slavs, so we have a Slavic DLC against the most russophobic game since the times when Goebbels played pétanque with the Latvian SS unit.

And yet the Roxalani are still pattened after the Huns, not the Alans.
