  • Hey! It's my Birthday today and I got you all a gift instead!
    The Battletech Mainline lore series continues with the first video from the Inner Sphere perspective. Following the events of the Star League video, this one picks up right were that one left off. We look into what happened to the Inner Sphere after the Exodus, and witness the series of wars that nearly broke the Inner Sphere. Covering events from 2780-3032, there's alot in this video, so make sure you have a drink and snack at the ready. Reactor: Online...

    Sorry, I am 3 weeks late, but I wanted to say that this video was a great primer for the Succession Wars era.

    for someone with written and spoken dyslexia, this was very well done, if u hadnt mentioned it, i wouldnt have known, havent noted anything, great vid, and if i may say so: for a piece that covers all 4 succession wars and the political atmosphere, it was pretty precise and painted a clear vision on the situation and how messed up it was! keep up the good work, definitly earned a new sub ^^

    I think it should be noted, in regards to the Ares Conventions: The Ares Conventions were created as far back as the Age of War, that's Pre-Star League. One of the First things the Star League did upon coming together was to rescind them at the start of the Unification Wars, they were never reinstated.

    I don’t know if you already knew this, but Maximillian Liao was pretty cooky to begin with. When Hanse Davion gave his speech where he ‘gifted’ his wife the Capellan Confederation, the Liao family was at the wedding when he did that and it set off Max’s mania.
    How bad was it?
    As Maximilian Liao and his family were hurriedly departing the wedding, Max ordered his guards and servants to take all the commemorative plates that had been made celebrating the wedding, ranting that Hanse Davion had hidden clues as to which worlds would be targeted first according to the decorations on the plates.

      The location is interesting to me.
      Scientifically, the location is pretty bad. There's really good reasons we launch rockets into space where we do, but I imagine with BT's "shoddily advanced" technology would make those concerns obsolete. Or so I like to think.
      More so than that, I live in the general area (Pacific Northwest region, Canadian prairies), so having my favorite universes centre of everything roughly 1000km away from me is kinda awesome.
      As for background reasons why Puget Sound was chosen, was because IIRC, Jordan Weissman (BT's creator) was living there at the time and was familiar the the nearby region and often imagined a futuristic-fantasy castle in the Cascades.

      @@Madcat529 Same reason that Shadowrun is centered on the Seattle Metroplex I believe, yes. There used to be a MASSIVE Mechwarrior diorama at the Seattle Wizards of the Coast building cause of it.
      Would the capital need to launch rockets though? Its just the center of government, they got like, orbital launch facilities and stuff for that by this point.

      @@KillerOrca not so much rockets as dropships. It's heavily implied every major city in Battletech has its own dedicated spaceport.
      Launching from Florida happens for strong reasons, but as I said; I am assuming that those factors that keeps WE HUMANS locked to these locations are non factors for BT's humans somehow

    You know what would make this better? A more relevant video presentation! Don't fit me wrong, I can listen all day, but the map with where you're talking about would help keep the attention.

    • @Madcat529
      @Madcat529  3 года назад

      That's fair, but maps can be hard because they'll either be so big, zooming in on the particular places where events happen would blur the image so badly you wouldn't be able to see (I wouldn't publish a video if any part was like that), or so small or doesn't show the rest of the inner sphere to provide context.
      This video in particular, the locations are not as important as the events, so that's reason #2 I didn't do maps for this one.
      Fair opinion, and I do use maps when it makes sense. Otherwise, I don't really include them since again, the primary is audio, visual being secondary.
      I appreciate the C&C all the same :)

      Just so I understand, to provide a visual map of the Inner Sphere when talking about places?
      I did a bit of that in IS chapter 3, but it's been hard before then because no good map with great visual quality was super accessible. That's been rectified now, and all future Lore chapters will have them to the best of my ability.
      If you mean something else, my bad and I'd love to hear more about this suggestion :)

      In the Mainline playlist however, they are in release order as a whole package, and each "side" is ordered chronologically in-universe. You can notice the difference in naming by "Clan Volume" and "Inner Sphere Chapter".
