    Foxhole Devs kept hearing complaints about Clans in Foxhole so they made an entire game based on a period (Late Antiquity/early medirval) dominated by clans lmao.

      @@Ronin.97 Sometimes you can run into the wrong clan and "mess" up their base or operation. It's generally just new players not knowing what they are doing and where the new player is "messing" something up. A lot of the miscommunication can come from other players from different countries as well where there is a language barrier.

    This shit is awesome, dont get the people complaining its not identical to foxhole, this has the potential to be some shit we aint seen before, an entire medieval world with cities, clans, guilds, feudal systems, countries all with intricate productions, economies and politics, all the way down to the individual player, the opportunity for the sheer amount of what they could do with this is insane.

      ​@@RobertLovesGames what do you think of the possibility of not having permanent factions, like foxhole? I mean, allowing clans who fullfil certain criteria to declare war or ally themselves with other clans, being of the same faction or not. That would open the window to a lot of variety in almost every aspect of social interaction of clans. It would be like enabling the "rebellions". The coalition leaders or kingdom leaders would have to take into consideration clan loyalty and the possibility of betrayal. I think it would be pretty awesome

      So villages won't be raided by animals that ruins the immersion and feel like a really sweaty try from the devs to force you to fight constantly.
      Foxhole can be a game of peace when you do lone logi at night or mining with a Harvester or just running a factory.

    (This is just my personal opinion)
    Great concept, same as with Foxhole, my only problem with it is the lack of single player .-. Would it be amazing with mods? Yes. Would it be amazing in single player? With standard AI, why not? Does it make sense? Well, if an AI can "act as a human" then yes, because it would "act like a human" in the end.. Sadly the design is just pro MP rather than SP.
    PUBG was always MP. Why? I mean you get it's an entire genre (battle royale) restricted to MP only? It's almost like making some sport male or female only 😂 even if it "needs" the online component (which is not true at all btw, again, the offline battleroyale was kinda never invented, literally), people like me who play Stellaris, Civ games, CoH, AOE, etc.. in offline mode, and sometimes with close friends against AI, do enjoy the single player or even small coop experience. This is just sad, understandable and I wish the devs success, but to me personally is still sad ._.'

    Anvil is still questionable for me. 4+ years of development and they still haven't made any proper combat system. Basically just a medieval framing simulator.
    I remember early Foxhole days and it was completely different: a somewhat finished fun combat system with a basic logi.
