Each Update looks like it is going in the Right Direction, with how well Foxhole turns out, I can't wait to finally try it out when all of us can play it in the Alpha Stage. Props to the players also for giving valuable feedback to the devs o7
Agreed! And this game is going to have so many more cool mechanics and things that Foxholes can't have because of the different engines. I'm honestly hoping for Foxhole 2 one day with all the cool stuff they are bringing to Anvil.
What if we all just stop fighting and build Minas Tirith? Or we could build the tower of babel to spite the devs and they could make the chat auto translate into different languages.
What if developers made a server(s) of Anvil Empires where players wouldn't be split into three developer-created factions, but were allowed to make their own? Imagine players starting from the levels of clans and independent towns and then uniting into kingdoms. It would fit with AE medieval setting and maybe would introduce some Game of Thrones style infighting.
Genuinely I would play Anvil over FH if I could go factionless/serf larp. FH it makes sense as a formalised war but strict factioning in ye olde tymes does make me see the code a little more than i’d like in the genre
I kinda hope they go with a more realistic combat/movement system. One of my least favorite parts of foxhole is the wiggling/spinning to dodge shots and bayonet-lords, because the game is otherwise pretty immersive.
Agreed. They need to find a nice balance with realistic and "gaming" still. I would say they are very much on the realistic side right now cause like two slashes and you are dead ha
You have the great chance of making the most realistic medival depictions of battles ever. Implements spears, implement some kind of shield wall feature, where players are locked together in a line/ block, Skill would be to march the mormation in usion, and in cobat to stab at the guy in ront and to either side of you, trying to chat somebody of guard, if done right it would absolutly look spectacular, id probably zoom more in once in formation combat, but yea
Just an idea: I hope they will add AI invading empires, like the mongols, or some kind of monsters. I would like to see a gigantic endgame threat which could potentially destroy every player city.
That would be cool! They already have it so wolves can invade towns so might be easy for them to have other things invade as well! Cool idea! Thanks for sharing!
RUclipsr talks about inferior catapults but places @ 0:35 an image of a trebuchet. A SUPERIOR Siege engine that is capable of launching a 90kg projectile over 300m range! Is that a teaser ?
they should make caves spawn in monster raids where the creatures would come out and start attacking, because i can see that if groups just rush to camp the base entrance, it would cut off the other groups from getting more materials like iron, which would heavily stop them from advancing their equipment and the fights would be wayyy too one sided, especially if one group just controls the monopoly of the undergworld and becomes stacked. great game progress though!
That could be cool! Sounds like they are going to do a lot with these caves and I'm excited to see what they come up with! Thanks for your thoughts on this!
I still wonder if sabotage can be used in castles if combat is so geared towards groups I was thinking for spies and other Sabotage missions that they could have a weapon that could be a one shot from behind or a tool that allows them to sneak around to do that I think it would be pretty cool to Sabotage a certain section of the wall or at least appraise a certain section of it to be bombarded so your team can win I hope the Devs can do something like that.
Forts are gonna be the new Bunker Bases 💀the game looks great tho, cant wait to see what they add next. I will get this game once its a bit more developed combat and 'vehicle' wise
Underworld, lol. Then they'll announce magic spells or dragon bosses. Just when you think a developer has *finally* started making the game you've thought of in your head for the past 20 years... The direction always changes.
How does this game go about offline raiding? IE how does it not turn into another Rust where being online, and having the least amount of social life is the most important to survive? For people with jobs for example this is key for if they will start playing it or not...
They have not specified anything yet. I think they are learning towards no AI type structures like Foxhole has to "prevent" offline raiding. I assume they will have something in place so bases can't be destroyed during the night or at least destroyed during the night very quickly. All in all we will see and hopefully more information will come soon.
At first yes. But over time no. Players that like the World War 1 and World War 2 genre will stick with Foxhole and people that like the more medieval genre will stick with Anvil. But yes once Anvil fully releases I'm sure all the Foxhole players will come over to try it. So for probably a little while Foxhole might not have many people playing it.
Apparently community servers aren't going to be a thing, also asked a lot of questions involving things like mapping/modding tools, offline raiding, and dev responses, and the response I got was "go play another game then"/"This game isn't for you, in regards to protecting your in game stuff unless you, or another person spends every hour in the game to protect your stuff" When I posted a meme in the vain of a soyjak wearing a "I love playing games that are jobs" with tarkov, rust, foxhole, and arma3 being on his t shirt. One guy responded with "But it is our jobs" I'm not really liking what I'm seeing sadly : (
Yea community servers would ruin a game like this. This is for massive scale players not small random servers. Honestly I love the way Foxhole and this game are going to be set up. This and Foxhole is not a game for everyone.
I don't think they are currently calling it an "open beta" Think it's still "Closed Pre-Alpha" but hopefully you get invited soon! It sounds like early access is not to far off and I'm sure they will have more of an open beta before then as well to test the server limits of the game more.
Correct it's not out yet. Still in Pre-Alpha. Invites go out to those in the Anvil Empires discord. Let me know if you have any questions about the game!
I'm sure that will come! Everything they are developing right now seems very Tier 1. Just like Foxhole there will be higher tiers of items that get teched later.
the local voice chat during the fights is going to be fun.
Agreed! I snuck into an enemy camp and was actually able to hide and hear their whole battle plan for attacking us. Was awesome!

I can't wait to be a dwarf miner who never leaves their cave 😂❤
Ha! Good luck down there in the cave! I'm staying on the surface!
Did I hear a Rock and Stone ?
theme song will be ruclips.net/video/ytWz0qVvBZ0/видео.html

That would be crazy! I would love to see a war like that some day in Anvil Empires! Would be cool experiment!
Cool idea! Thanks for sharing!

Holy Roman Empire, here we come !
I love you
really want to see this game succeed. It's a unique concept and seeing how the devs adapt what they learned with foxhole will be awesome
Same! Really hope it takes off when it comes out.

True! I hope to get some more battle videos of this game soon once it gets a few more updates!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this!

can`t wait for release
Sounds like early access could be some time next year!

I would think trebuchet's will be in the game for sure! No official news from the devs on them yet though.
they should make caves spawn in monster raids where the creatures would come out and start attacking, because i can see that if groups just rush to camp the base entrance, it would cut off the other groups from getting more materials like iron, which would heavily stop them from advancing their equipment and the fights would be wayyy too one sided, especially if one group just controls the monopoly of the undergworld and becomes stacked.

Looking beautiful, I can already tell anvils gonna be a banger. Good video 🎉
Agreed! And thank you!!

It's actually pretty easy to sneak around so I could see this being a thing.
I can't wait to play this game, also it will be fun to have catapults Foxhole.
Woo! And they would get taken out so easily lol
We all know that game will be All the same META Build + Gate spam like in early foxhole
Ha! Hopefully not the gate spam.
me: this looks more and more like a 4x game now.
dev: always have been. shots me at the back of the head.
lol!
Hoping we get farmable mushrooms or something of the like in the underworld - I want to live out my cave-dwelling goblin farmer dreams!
Ha! I bet they will have something like that!
Gonna join the discord and hopefully get a chance to play! Sgt.Peppers!
Good luck! Maybe see you out there soon!
Forts are gonna be the new Bunker Bases 💀the game looks great tho, cant wait to see what they add next. I will get this game once its a bit more developed combat and 'vehicle' wise
That would be cool if they are!
And good call! It still has a long way to go in my opinion.
One thing it looks like anvil actually adds is the removable trees Ert hmm Fox hole😢
Ha! If we could remove trees in Foxhole all the trees in Foxhole would be gone by like day 2 or 3 of the war lol
So...can you launch other players with the catapult?
lol! I hope so!
Hope some of this can transfer over to foxhole someday
I’m hoping they end up just making a “Foxhole 2” on this new engine honestly.
Underworld, lol. Then they'll announce magic spells or dragon bosses. Just when you think a developer has *finally* started making the game you've thought of in your head for the past 20 years... The direction always changes.
I hope that in futurs update the devs brings trébuchet and balista into the game
I would guess they will be in the game for sure!

do you reckon the release of anvil empires will have a negative affect on the foxhole player base
At first yes. But over time no. Players that like the World War 1 and World War 2 genre will stick with Foxhole and people that like the more medieval genre will stick with Anvil.
But yes once Anvil fully releases I'm sure all the Foxhole players will come over to try it. So for probably a little while Foxhole might not have many people playing it.

Foxhole in Medival?
Exactly!
yes
Hype level 10/10
Woo!!
honestly cant wait to just play the game having an "open beta" is very misleading i know 8 people who signed up and none of us got in
I don't think they are currently calling it an "open beta" Think it's still "Closed Pre-Alpha" but hopefully you get invited soon!
It sounds like early access is not to far off and I'm sure they will have more of an open beta before then as well to test the server limits of the game more.
Man... How do you participate in these testing?
Join the discord in the description!
@@RobertLovesGames I'm already on discord
Huh? i don't think the game is out... what.. huh?
edit: yea its not and I haven't been accepted to the playtest :C
Correct it's not out yet. Still in Pre-Alpha. Invites go out to those in the Anvil Empires discord.
Let me know if you have any questions about the game!
@@RobertLovesGames Oh thank you.
Wait so is this like foxhole ?
Yep! Same concept but in a more medieval time!
This is allot like haven and hearth
It really is! Maybe that has some inspiration for the devs in it.
Trebuchet better TBH
I'm sure that will come! Everything they are developing right now seems very Tier 1. Just like Foxhole there will be higher tiers of items that get teched later.
time to no life next play test again
Woo! That's the spirit!
add dragons
That would be awesome! They should add a lot of mystical creatures in the game honestly.
If dragons could be added then Foxhole could have planes then :)
Welp, until then, we're just going to have to imagine them .
*waking up to ash and dust intensifies*
will they have they/them pronouns? asking for a friend
No idea! You can probably ask in their discord channel!
