I normally don’t like the “this lost ancient technology is much more advanced than our own” trope, but it definitely fits with foxhole’s world pretty well.
@@nathanpace3090 Its almost like in a society where everything is falling apart around you. And people freak out if you straight up tell them the raw truth. People are stuck having to dress it up as fiction that things used to be better in order for the wider audience to understand the idea on any level.
I want an event where we make the conflict of Warden VS Colonial and then just throw the hanged men in there with random scattered outposts throughout the map and then engaging in gorilla war with both sides.
maybe some sort of npc territory. they could be friendly territory where the colonials and wardens could meet up and have a laugh. or we could take them back from the hanged men and also they would capture random territories making it harder for the opposition and also your own.
It would be interesting if they were introduced as a Third Faction, but not on the same way as the main 2. Instead they could as a smaller faction with a capped limited number of players per server whose goal would be to survive, carve a small enclave on the map and lead guerrila actions against both sides. Their victory goal could be simply to survive and be a nuisance to the other two.
I think there are three ways to keep them from just getting wiped out. 1. They're underground and in order to assault them you need to find the secret entrances to their tunnel network. 2. Their territory is somehow far more costly to assault than the main enemy's. Maybe they get easy access to high tech and expensive defensive emplacements that can make attacking them directly a bad idea until late into the game. 3. They're always moving. Maybe instead of holding onto territory, they have some kind of big mobile headquarters that doesn't show up on the map. I don't think they'd be able to build their own stuff for the most part, instead relying on logistics raids to obtain weapons, ammo and vehicles.
to stem off this idea what they could do with the Hanged Men being pirates and smugglers is add s couple regions to the sides of the world and have them be island archipelagos which can only be assaulted through naval invasions.
@@screamingcactus1753 they could also have the ability to block the said tunnels off, in case of them being found out. Otherwise, trying to hide the said entrances would be pretty stressful and bit too much responsibility.
@@screamingcactus1753 I like 1 best. 2 doesn't make much sense to me given they're deserters, and 3 feels overly complicated. I think mixing 1 with covert ops and small bases away from roads would make them a serious nuisance, even if just for a little while
I would actually adopt my infection idea for Dead Harvest for the Hanged Men. One player would start out as the original revolutionary. Anyone they kill joins the Hanged Men team. If the people who become Hanged Men want to return to their faction, they have to kill and convert two other people from either team. What's different from the zombies is that The Hanged Men start on a tiny island off the main map, where Colonials and Wardens cannot go, and it has all resources available, but they are meager in scope. Their tech tree is heavily reliant on mounted guns, meaning all their vehicles are customizable, though weaker than Warden or Colonial counterparts. How the initial revolutionary is chosen is by first-come, first-serve opt-in. If they are killed before they can convert anyone, the next person on the list gets an attempt. Unlike those they infect, they cannot choose to return to their faction unless they are the last Hanged Man.
There used to be relic vehicles and relic weapons hidden within those vaults, and the factions would fight to secure them. They were removed some time ago for balancing reasons.
It would be nice to have some sort of special event at the front, where Wardens and Colonials made a temporary truce to eliminate pockets of resistance of The Hanged Men, only to resume the fight once they are dealt with.
Why not external islands that you can take a boat to and "desert"? That then reassigns you as a hanged men and you play for a different faction from there on out. It could have like ~2 desertation points on the map, where anyone can desert to the hanged men. They could have their external territories be some islands, and from there they could launch small attack groups towards the wardens and colonials. Obviously you would have to implement some anti sabotage systems, like indicating that you want to become a hanged man for 24 hours or even longer, and in that time having no access to public storages. And if storage dumping or friendly fire or structure damage is above a certain amount, block people from even trying to become hanged men.
@@ballsdeep9981 There would have to be some kind of cap or resistance to players wanting to join said faction. the pull to do a new thing would be way too great and would have WAY too many people trying to do this leaving the war itself probably feeling really empty since everyone is running off to be pirates suddenly.
@@kennyroberson5726 well then maybe make a system to be able to join them instead of just making it free with a pop cap. So the way the system works is if you get friendly fired by someone when your not on the frontlines it add to your discontent count you have. As time keeps going and more times you get friendly fired, lose a point, or after so much time a war lasted it adds to that discontent count your building. Once you get to a certain amount then you can get a mission or a task that gets you to become a hangman. The task could be to rendezvous to a place to meet some hangman or to sabotage something to then get the location to fully switch to the hangman side.
Something like only allowing 1 player per 12 online, having to join either colonials or wardens but searching in abandoned areas for underground entrances that allow you to swap to the hanged man. Providing you with new equipment, outfit etc. Network of tunnels, supplies etc.
It would be really fun if the hanged men were a pop up faction of sorts, around 1/4 into the war they’ll become available with a vote on a landing position, they’ll land at a point and begin reigning hell on either warden or colonial forces. The hanged men would probably have incredible naval warfare ability (like a dreadnought) very light armored vehicles, and a logistical network around naval shipping. Yes they would probably have to add a few small islands to the game but that would only make foxhole even more fun! Not to mention the idea of hanged men coming in to turn the tide (and maybe even win) is incredible. They’d probably have the best AT in the game but horrific armor themselves, with armored cars and maybe a medium tank at their best. They might have a mechanic of some sort? Like infiltration of enemy lines through disguise, or people can defect to the hanged men by performing a certain option. Meaning that if the colonials are getting their shit rocked, they can defect to the hanged men and become a part of their faction. Same with wardens
I sometimes wondered about this as a non Foxhole player. How the Hell is there not more than two factions? There is bound to be a decent number of deserters and the disaluisened after centuries of war. Apperently there was. Now am hoping there will be a third faction of modern day, filled with deserters.
Fun fact: the 2 factions aren’t actually countries. The Wardens and Colonials are actually the armed forces of Caoiva and the Mesean Republic, respectively. Those nations themselves are very large, encompassing several smaller nation-states with differing cultures, all of whom contribute to their armies.
@@nerd9777 your PFP says it all, but as a Fellow Nerd, i Agree, Foxhole Puts worth on making it seem like an Actual War, and naming the countries wardens and colonials seems childish, so they are just the Armed Forces.

I always had an idea that their could be 4 factions in the game. Why? Well, because it could create temporary Allies, trading partners, coordinated attacks and most importantly betrayel. Also factions wouldn't start off in war they would have to declare it allowing logi players to prep in some type of cold war pre game. I don't wish all that work on the devs but I always thought of it as a neat idea.
In the Tarot, the "hanging man" is a card that represents thinking and observation of the world, in order to access truth and reconnexion to spirituality. Maybe there is a link. ^^
Planetside 2 is an example of a game that did this well (last I had checked, which was a while ago). Interestingly enough, it was rare for two factions to gang up on the third, unless the third was the one sweeping the map. Then, once they had been pushed back to a reasonable territory, the other two factions would attack each other again. I figure the same would happen in Foxhole.
Huh, strange, I actually wrote up a fan faction with a similar concept called "The Union", as a third faction, a separatist faction, consisting of defected conscripts from both sides who live in the region and wish to create their own nation separate from both sides, their vehicles, uniforms and equipment were inspired by Soviet gear, and the idea behind the faction was inspired by Bolshevik revolutionaries, with the default uniform being that of civilian clothing with red armbands, but research allows for an optional "paramilitary" uniform which was inspired by the Soviet Army uniform.
i have read that the Colonials were inspired by the USSR (and USA) but that'd be quite interesting (plus had foxhole be inspired within the cold war era we could definitely see them with BRDM-2s, BTR-60s and T-55s haha)
Wardens and Colonials have been grinding down on each other for some time now, dunno if they are the only big powers in their world lore but if they arent it could be interesting to see a new war break out. One between the new superpower that decided to attack the Wardens and Colonials while they were endlessly battling each other and thus weakened. Definitely would be something else to have Wardens and Colonials work together against an even bigger threat. I mean Wardens seem to be a mix of french and german against colonials which look like britain + colonies so maybe something asian or even italian flavoured ie dunno the Roma Empire or something like that. Having Wardens and Colonials work together would be epic especially since you could combine each factions tech for amazing combined warfare results.

The videos are getting more accurate. However, the second half of the letter to Judith Abell is talking about her modifications to the Dunne Truck. You can find a mechanics note in stonecradle warning a worker to go get Judith if people start asking questions about his work since it’s her personal project.
very nice, I saw that note about them replacing the parts on the truck and wondered if they were connected. Good find. I assume they were interested in more than just the truck though.
I guess the Wardens were right about reverse engineering being pointless, the collies did successfully reverse engineer (or at least refit) a relic tank to make the Ares, and that thing sucks.
I'm six days late but, Just a friendly note that I would highly suggest chatting with the lore-chat down in the Foxhole discord. They can give you the best information there is.
It'd be great to have this third faction in game for players who are penalized. A lot of old school mmo's had "criminal/outlaw" factions where pker's were thrown into if they killed enough of their own team. If anyone gets reported for non-ban worthy crimes they can get tossed into the faction too. Then you will have yourself your cutthroat/misunderstooders/against the grainers in one faction for a game. You can place 3 spawn points randomly in the map in hard to get to places that are usually ignored. It'd make for an interesting dynamic.
Imagen if the hanged men where in the game as a CPU controlled faction that would some times show up and attack the other two factions,or have soldiers from both other factions openly desert and join the hanged men.
the rifle (tripods) he must have been referring to is probably something simliar us (hunters and a like) use when making sure the gun is sighted in and as well make sure won't explode
You're correct there are many other nations allied with either side. This video is only focusing on the hanged men because I thought they were neat, and people seemed interested.
It's interesting that the lore is reflected in weapons and vehicles from recent updates as both the armored train carriages and the colonial battle tank are clearly taking elements from these relic vehicles
I wonder if the relics that both fractions were reverse engineering led into the development of the Super heavy Tank its just my Theory but thinke about the super heavy tanks are will very Advanced looking
I personally choose to believe that foxhole is for honors world, and that war became so central to them that they eventually developed mass weapons and lost technology, it would also explain the wardens name, as one of the knight hero’s from for honor is: the warden
@@beeflord think of it, it makes sense, in for honor a catastrophe whiped out most things and war lead to them loosing technology, in foxhole a calamity hits and die to it a war starts that leads to both sides slowly loosing technology,
It would be cool if the dev team did an event that they spawn in with unique uniform colors with op tanks and just roll across the map. And both wardens and colonials try to take them out. (Kind of like a war of the worlds type of thing going). We won't be able to use them or anything but make it like an end of the war type of deal. (like the hangedmen got fed up with all the fighting and finally want to put an end to it) just my idea
I can see some system where the Hanged Men maybe appear before a war during the prewar phase. And maybe what happens prewar can affect the start of the new war.
"that's literally me" Jokes aside i do fuck around with everyone for a good time/laugh. It's not everyday you have conversations with the enemy and planning a massive troll
I'd love to see the Hanged Men implemented, adding a faction that deliberately ignores frontlines and coventional logi would encourage development of different tactics and strategies, and could act as a "stalemate breaker" by keeping the other two armies off balance. The only problem is how to balance it, particulary when you consider that all the great veteran partisans of both sides would be likely to flood their ranks immediately...
Thought this was going to be a meme vid about pop issues on Baker caused by prolonging Charlie's existence. Whole regions went white for hours at a time.
I'm willing to wager that they'll bring in the hanged men as a world event near the end of foxholes life span letting players fight on three fronts. granted having said that, that kind of event would most likely breath more life back into the game then being the final heart beat of the game.
Only way i can see them implemented is as some ragtag group of pirates in a sea update. Sea mining operations would be cool, digging up stranded ships or making small oil rigs for fuel etc...
@@juhotuho10 yea, i meant lorewise you could find their smuggler ships and mine them for components in sea-digging or oil fields could be used for ships etc...
the thing about calling the hanged men petty smugglers could easily just be propaganda so that people dislike them and have a bad opinion like, if a bunch of people were deserting, im sure the government would try to slander them as much as possible
Well the people on the cross may also have been people who tried to desert from the battlefield. Its not uncommen to kill people which were caucht deserting, like hanging people in public. The soldiers should fear doing so after all. And they probably called themselves the hanged man, since they deserted and with that would have been hanged.
The idea of a 3 way war in the future sounds so cool, and with the political side of foxhole I can imagine peace treaties being worked out on certain fronts
Why do I feel like that the Hanged Men would be a great faction to put solo players into after they get put there by the devs via clan complaints? That sounds like the perfect excuse! 😂
I don’t think there should be a third faction until we can get more players. We are already running desperately low on soldiers, splitting the player base even further would be bring an end to the war, which I don’t think anyone would want to see.
As someone who has played planetside religiously since the first one, foxhole does not need an active third faction in game. Fix servers and remove the shards!
*you see a badly beaten box* *it starts falling apart with the smallest use of force* *inside is a piece of dirty cloth* *inside is wrapped a large metal case* *inside - another piece of cloth in better condition* *it looks like a collection of paper ripped out of something* *the first thing you can make out is the number 1984*
Oh so they already know they were going to have balance problems and have a third faction ready to go. Even gave it a story that fits the I'm tired of this imbalance.
I normally don’t like the “this lost ancient technology is much more advanced than our own” trope, but it definitely fits with foxhole’s world pretty well.
reminds me of the "WW4 will be fought with sticks and stones" except it has been so long that they have completely forgotten about the old technology
Isn't kinda foreboding. It's almost like as the society in the real world today decays. That technology along with ethics simply become lost to time.
Damn, that’s my favourite trope. Necrons, Forerunners, etc, all my fav science fiction empires.

Played both factions and I grew to hate both sides this faction seems perfect for me
It would be cool if the dev team did an event that they spawn in with unique uniform colors with op tanks and just roll across the map. And both wardens and colonials try to take them out. (Kind of like a war of the worlds type of thing going). We won't be able to use them or anything but make it like an end of the war type of deal. (like the hangedmen got fed up with all the fighting and finally want to put an end to it) just my idea
A third playable faction would help the game stay alive for sure and would balance a little bit everything
I can see some system where the Hanged Men maybe appear before a war during the prewar phase. And maybe what happens prewar can affect the start of the new war.
was one of the demolitionists for one of the vaults, it contained a heavy carrier tank. ngl it kinda sucked.
"that's literally me"
Jokes aside i do fuck around with everyone for a good time/laugh.
It's not everyday you have conversations with the enemy and planning a massive troll
I'd love to see the Hanged Men implemented, adding a faction that deliberately ignores frontlines and coventional logi would encourage development of different tactics and strategies, and could act as a "stalemate breaker" by keeping the other two armies off balance. The only problem is how to balance it, particulary when you consider that all the great veteran partisans of both sides would be likely to flood their ranks immediately...
Oh nice, bandits, i wanna try that sometime.
Neither Warden nor Colonial but a Secret Third Thing
Thought this was going to be a meme vid about pop issues on Baker caused by prolonging Charlie's existence. Whole regions went white for hours at a time.
I'm willing to wager that they'll bring in the hanged men as a world event near the end of foxholes life span letting players fight on three fronts. granted having said that, that kind of event would most likely breath more life back into the game then being the final heart beat of the game.

Hint: cool things to commit in war
war... war...
war atrocities!
hanged men failed the puzzle, hence the name
war crimes
At this point the hanged men are either in their own Atlantis or on the moon.
Estrelia just sellin guns to everyone:
Those skeletons could've just been dead soldiers from the battle that were posed for a picture or something after the battle took place...
what causes people to defect?
Well, being forced to do logistics is one of them.
You know whose fault it is that the Hanged Men exist?
It’s going to be those darn filthy Collies!
shit I ran into one of those hidden vaults yesterday I was wondering what it was
There’s one you can still enter
That Callahan fellow looks Familiar..
Hold up there’s future tech treasure vaults and lore in this game???
Its tech from a previous generation of war, that was lost. And yes, this game has very odd lore.
good video, thank you.
Only way i can see them implemented is as some ragtag group of pirates in a sea update. Sea mining operations would be cool, digging up stranded ships or making small oil rigs for fuel etc...
they wont be implemented as a third faction, they are just related to lore
@@juhotuho10 yea, i meant lorewise you could find their smuggler ships and mine them for components in sea-digging or oil fields could be used for ships etc...
Pirates huh? Naval update is coming in the next few wars... sure would be cool to add some yellow dots to the game
COOL
very cool
the thing about calling the hanged men petty smugglers could easily just be propaganda so that people dislike them and have a bad opinion
like, if a bunch of people were deserting, im sure the government would try to slander them as much as possible
This is like the 5th foreign group mentioned in lore though, I doubt they will add 3rd faction
agreed
Тот случай, когда висельники более технологически развиты, чем "правительство".
🏴☠
Hope to see them with naval update.
I honestly didn't think this game had lore. I thought story was made through the actions of the players.
would be interesting if everytime someone picked their factions they had a random chance to be assigned to the hanged men
Well the people on the cross may also have been people who tried to desert from the battlefield. Its not uncommen to kill people which were caucht deserting, like hanging people in public. The soldiers should fear doing so after all. And they probably called themselves the hanged man, since they deserted and with that would have been hanged.
The idea of a 3 way war in the future sounds so cool, and with the political side of foxhole I can imagine peace treaties being worked out on certain fronts
CLAN MAN BAD
so the third faction would just be some scavengers or partisan fighters
Yes and or pirates
yes
Imagine if the hanged men are just players who never came back. Or siege camp themselves....
Very cool
for see more alting lets go
They should fill relic vaults with AI relic zombies and see how it spreads among warden and colonials
That would be an excellent halloween event
Why do I feel like that the Hanged Men would be a great faction to put solo players into after they get put there by the devs via clan complaints? That sounds like the perfect excuse! 😂
Honestly good idea
Those rifles could be either anti tank rifles (like from the early ww2) or anti material rifles (like the Barrett and others). Just my two cents
The wardens are quite disrespectful on the other hand colonials had open arms for new players often
Foxhole needs to add a new faction I would like to join the hangedmen
Pirates? I hope that implies a naval update
They’ve been in the game for a long time, and the next foxhole update is naval
God I hope so
You have a link to that photo in the thumbnail?
Hit up the guy in my description. He’s on discord.
I don’t think there should be a third faction until we can get more players. We are already running desperately low on soldiers, splitting the player base even further would be bring an end to the war, which I don’t think anyone would want to see.
comment= gooood = yes yes = best comment = all other comments = trash = yes yes
yes yes
Me when I make up lore for my alting antics
Woosh its now cannon
Fourth faction: Devs "Wars over early boys!" 😂😭
No one tell this guy about the bronze men or Estrella it'll be funny
As someone who has played planetside religiously since the first one, foxhole does not need an active third faction in game.
Fix servers and remove the shards!
alt faction fr fr💀💀
Hmm turning Foxhole into Planetside 2,how bad can it be?
Hmm 🤔🤔 the hanged man faction smells reek to me.
😂😂😂
*you see a badly beaten box*
*it starts falling apart with the smallest use of force*
*inside is a piece of dirty cloth*
*inside is wrapped a large metal case*
*inside - another piece of cloth in better condition*
*it looks like a collection of paper ripped out of something*
*the first thing you can make out is the number 1984*
Scavs, scavs
yes yes
interesting....
good job devs, a third edge lord faction for the trolls to rally too. Now we will be able to shoot them without getting friendly damage warnings
I should clarify the hanged men are only in the lore
@@beeflord You know whom else has armies that are in the lore, The Wardens and the Colonials. ;)
Oh so they already know they were going to have balance problems and have a third faction ready to go. Even gave it a story that fits the I'm tired of this imbalance.
First
gamer moment
colonial psyops
We can't even get a Warden buff, this factions never coming in game sadly.
Don't yall have enough?
@@Nike-nm8jc No.
