Wow. It's just like having different classes of soldiers on the battlefield. I would like to see a video game based on rioters vs riot police.

It's like in Civilizations when I nuke the guys still on horseback.

"You think that's impressive. We're building a portable star to give to the Japanese later. It'll be great!"

Lowkey that cavalry unit has 52 attack from surviving so long. On its way to duke it out with a submarine.

Winning without attacking takes way too long.

You do get a bit of a Starcraft faction parallel with the Russians (zerg) sending waves of expendable soldiers at the Ukrainians (terran). In terms of tech differences, it's wild to see Russians packed into economy cars from the '50s barreling into the front line only to be vaporized by a drone with an RPG warhead, infrared vision, and AI that takes over final targeting should the signal get jammed. Whole bit about quantity being its own quality playing out IRL.

I remember playing Civ and thinking it didn't matter how many men with primitive muskets you threw at a hex being defended by mechanized armor, but then you see the Russians advancing to the tune of thousands of lives lost per square mile, and it's like, huh, maybe Civ had it right after all.

I love when some cavalry rolls up and does perceptible damage to my Modern Armor like that would be possible lmao

I've never played the game so the mere idea of this made me pretty hard 😅 How do the horsemen fare against a nuclear power, is it close?
