I can recommend joining a Regiment/clan. They hold regular games which are not open to the public. They hold training sessions and train using real Civil War manuals. The leadership is generally very good with a Captain Sergeants and Corporals having roles in the group. This is a very large community which play this game with a lot of passion. If you only play the public games you may only see one server populated. If you scroll down you will see all the private locked servers of the Regiments (which they have to pay for) My Regiment has over 90 members. They don't all turn up for every game but we have a very lively Discord server. If you have any questions I will try and answer them.
@@TheConfederate1863 Sometimes it is necessary for a clan to play the other side because the teams need to be balanced for the game. But mostly they stick to their chosen side as much as possible.
It's still wild to me that even though I've been back making videos for a couple years now, people are still constantly just rediscovering I returned. I did stop for years, my biggest regret during that time was not telling everyone what was going on. I was basically just establishing the foundation for my adult life and couldn't fit in a RUclips channel. Once I finally felt comfortable and stable I decided I could once again return. It's still a struggle honestly, but things are more systematic now. I did a video about it, explaining everything that happened when I came back to RUclips a couple years ago.
@@DaComradeHoly crap I’m now just realizing it’s you! I am one of the people you speak of that figured you just left. I was watching your videos way back in 08! I love War of Rights, been playing consistently for two years now. Awesome I rediscovered you because of it! :)
I have over 250 hours in this game. Having playing it on and off for the last 3-4 years, and seeing it grow and get better and better. And it was already exceeding most AAA shooters in its alpha stage in 2019 except for performance. Although a server can host up till 300 players, the game started out only supporting 150 players. Playing when the server is full is great! But in my experience playing on a server with only 60-70 players is enough to still have that immersion and feeling of linnear battles of the 1800s.
i would agree with many of you points here. For a long time i just played on my own. Then i got into a clan/regiment for the game - they did traning. On a weekly basis for a northen Caverly regiment. Will historical drills and all down to the letter. We did have a leder that unfortunate in the end was a bit of on a power trip, which like you said, its the people you play with that make or break the game. So in the end i have been not playing as much. But i still feel the base game super cool - looking forward to once the add in Caverly units. That way you can have Inf, Cav and Arty in the same battle. All player controlled :D
8:00 What you're saying there happened to Battlecry of Freedom. Though that game was a far more casual expeirence and a bit wackier so small player count battles were still alright. A lot of its playerbase just up and left. There are bot battle bots and commander modes, but I think the majority of people were in it for big fun battles between players.
No, I didn't have do. People shouting that already lol. Some of the memes in that game are pretty hilarious though. I remember once getting charged by a union guys once whose battle cry was, "JOE BIDEN 2024!" over and over again.
If this looks the least bit interesting and you haven't played this game yet, you will probably love it. I don't even play multiplayer games, but this is special.
I'm glad to hear that the game and community are good! This is always one I raise my eyebrows at when I see people on my friends list playing given the genre, title and subject matter lol
Funny you should say that. Something I was going to put in the video, but ended up taking out, was that while playing as the south, I’ve noticed that some people, well… Let’s just say they take the whole role playing as the confederacy aspect a bit too seriously. Though anecdotally I’ve noticed that while playing as the south the officers seem to be more experienced than in the union, and I end up learning more about the game as a result. My theory is that there is a small percentage of the player base that exists that is effectively “confederate or bust” and will refuse to play as the union, in a way that just doesn’t exist for the union side. Thus by only playing the one side they become more efficient at understanding their side of the map and the effective tactics.
I would love to be part of this, but I fear that I would have to be awake at crazy hours for me in order to find a good amount of players online, since I'm in Westen Europe.
Hi. Late reply, but we have a healthy EU community in WOR. Battle events are played Friday, Saturday and Sunday. And each of those days atleast 300 players are on for the closed events. The group I lead play our biggest event Sundays at 8PM CET. And for that event we are just short of 400 players in total. So lots of different groups to join. WOR really come into it's right when you play with organized groups.
i have around 2000 hours in this game in 5 years, but i last played in like late late March i think...haven't been back since- games were too lopsided, i think since last summer i have at max maybe around 100 hours max idk..i know before i returned in March of this year i took another 2-3 month hiatus, and then before that last november i took ANOTHER few months off- so big gaps in between play time
@@DaComrade it can be if you get into building facilities and other logistical roles. I really like playing the medic or combat engineer role because I cant shoot for crap

join 8th Connecticut
Maybe a stupid question but do confederate clans only play as confederates and visa versa?

I remember you when you used to be Josef V Stalin. I thought you stopped playing games completely. I am so happy to once again find your content!

I believe they just raised the limit to 400 players. The devs seem to be doing right by this game.
Depending on who you play with or who your officer is will make or break a session. Flag bearer needs to be able to melee
Check out Wednesdays Saturdays and Sundays between 8 and 10. Usually 4 or 5 near full 200 man servers.

Glad to see more gaming videos, the other ones you do aren't my style and length, though I don't doubt their quality
Did you shout your battle cry from Call Of Juarez 'For slavery!' when playing as a confederate? xD
No, I didn't have do. People shouting that already lol. Some of the memes in that game are pretty hilarious though. I remember once getting charged by a union guys once whose battle cry was, "JOE BIDEN 2024!" over and over again.

Ima buy this right now, got tired of Tarkov and Holdfast
Reminds me of my time playing Squad.

@ut8280 Thanks for replying. What regiments are part of these huge events you've mentioned?

I hope u were able to pick up "foxhole" during the sale
I finally caved and just bought it. That's another one I've been waiting to pick up. Just from what I hear from people it can be a real time sink
