So they've finalized the lattice for Indar and are gonna be hosting a public test server to try it out. This is what it's gonna look like on the first pass.

So what is that supposed to do?

[Toaster]

Can only cap along the lines, instead of any adjacent hex.

That may change the gameplay quite a bit now that I think about it. Also warpgate rotation. (And I was just getting used to this one...)

Things that will change (my opinion):
-Tawrich being much more difficult to grab.
-The Crown is more easily accessible to the SE gate, and much less to the other two, with one access being TI Alloys (usually switching sides quickly). That means that TR will probably be King of the Hill 80% of the time. Again.

They seem to forget the rest of the continent exists well they hold The Crown so I can't say I mind.

Yeah, I've even see some Command chat mention the meta for Indar is to see who has the Crown and attack everything they own but the Crown.

[Toaster]

The lack of link between the Crown and Crossroads is pretty interesting, as well as no Crossroads to Zurvan.  It makes Crossroads much less important to hold, especially for the SE WG holder.  Too bad, because there have been some epic battles for it.

It does make the SE WG less crappy since it'll be easier for whoever holds that to hold Tawrich.  From the looks of it, the SE area will be the most changed by it.  The north I don't think it'll have a huge impact, except for requiring to get TI Alloys before pushing down to the Crown instead of jumping straight from Ceres.  Perhaps the fight around Sauvra as well will be a bit slower.

In the SW, most of the time pushing Hvar from the north, people sneak over and grab NS Secure first.  This puts a halt to that, and will make for a serious killzone over that link.

[darkrider2]

yeah I've seen a faction hold only one territory, the crown, while everything else is essentially the other two factions.

Really people?

MUST FARM ALL THE CERTS

MUST FARM ALL THE CERTS

ALL OF THEM

[PTTG??]

I see it as a point of pride; The Crown is the center of the map, it's designed to be the fulcrum. If you hold the crown against both opposing empires and are the last remaining stronghold against your side being totally pushed off the map, then that means that there is something special about what you've achieved.

[Vactor]

its also the best sector to hold onto a continent bonus with, or prevent continental capture by anyone else.

[Chosrau]

It seems that with the newest patch, it is now possible to cloak a Liberator.

[Jopax]

Does it work with other vehicles?

Stealth tanks would be an awesome thing to have

[Girlinhat]

Watch the video.  For some reason, only the liberator.

This is incredible though!
