This is just a personal opinion, but I think Anvil (just like Foxhole) could use a little color. There are several parts in the video where everything moves so much on the brown-green scale that you can hardly see anything, and this is especially true at night, when everything is covered in darkness.

IDK if its intentional or not by the game devs, but human eyes in low light situations mostly use what's called rods which don't transmit color info to the brain. This is why when you go out at night and only have moonlight, things often seem monochromatic. Also, I feel that the color palate is done to make both games feel more gritty/realistic. Since the models are somewhat stylized, you need to be careful with color or it could become too cartoony and more game-y / unrealistic

honestly one of my favorite moment

would be cool to have more formation fighting, and a better shield wall mechanic, possibly trainable through a training and mustering field. It could work using the ram mechanic where groups could form up and lock into a specific formation and everyone would be advancing in that 1 direction with shields up, just of course without the ram if u know what i mean. Recruits would need to train for a period of time at a training field in order to unlock this capability. maybe someone appointed as centurion could enable it, and soldiers with this training could jump into the formation. It wouldnt have to be a square, it could be a line, a circle, wedge, could form 2 lines, first line with shields at the ready, second line with shields over their heads. I think this would be extremely cool mechanic.

I bet they continue to work on shield forming and more mechanics for it. Especially when adding spears or more siege options. Weapon development in Anvil is super super basic right now. If they make it anything like Foxhole's weapons then there will be a lot fun options in the future. I think this would be a really cool mechanic as well! Thanks for sharing this idea!

Nice video You timed this raid very nicely, probably unintentionally, there was a major attack on a very critical spot on the other side of the map at the same time, it was late at night so only a couple of clans on the remnant side had players online, mainly OG and EL, so we had to juggle our forces between the 2 settlements, and since no players from the settlements being attacked were online(to use the facilities and building perms) plus the fact that the enemy outnumbered us, both settlements ended up destroyed (altho the one on the east side was taken back right after)

Good attack. You guys dominated the West. They updated rams for that test so your rams were doing double distance/ half DPS on that outer wall. At the same time of this attack there was another huge attack on the East by Ancients on the Remnant bridge base.

is this game team-based like Foxhole or it's free-for-all where players have to unite on their own (like in those times)? i would rather play the original team-based variant, like war between two empires or kingdoms, since hundreds of settlements, each ruled by a group of players, that have to unite into alliances sounds like absolute chaos

This game is like Foxhole. Except instead of 2 factions there will be 3 factions. So if you like how Foxhole works you will like how Anvil works as well. Let me know if you have any other questions about Anvil!

It looks reeeealy slow.. gameplay whise and seeing you made 2 vids of 100hours in gameplay suggests that it not be my game.. I like the idea, but I feel like it's going to be one of those... "10 people do all the hard labour and the rest hops on when the fun starts" kinda game. Your content it good, don't get me wrong. But hear me out: I wish Devs where less autistic and broaden their horizons..😅 Yes they made 1 ww1/2 game team Vs team that is great, good job.. But this game feels it is better off as a more.. make a team/clan/regie and fight it out.. a few clans will grow huge and attract more players.. and tada you have a fight between 2/6 dominant clans!! A session can take a few months easily and everyone has a story.. the clanman.. the highwayman.. the farmer/trader.. Make it more RPG like.. and less foxhole is what I am thinking. But hey.. I am nobody, just a flash speeding through life. Ty for coming to my ted talk.. now go touch some (gr)ass 😂

Anvil Empires is really slow right now. It's one of the things I don't like about it. It needs more weapon options honestly. It has a lot of catching up to do to be anything like Foxhole though. But they are adding almost something new every single test they do which is about twice a month. This game has about 2-3 years of development left I would say. Thanks for your feedback and thoughts on this! Appreciate it!
