I switched to collie side for [Edit]last* - war, first time ever. Theres a huge difference.

[Cpt. Blyatman]

I wanted to see if my suspicions were legit.

There are more Maj Generals, More Maj, Lt, and lots of players. First time i seen a col, Brig, and Maj Gen. Lots of frontline zerglings too. Yes there are also noobs, but theres lots of vets.

The highest rank i've seen on warden faction is Maj. (and thats in moors and stonecradle)

The logi hubs are also very populated, with lots of logi activity going on. I have to say, more than warden logi hubs that ive seen in these past 3 wars, so much so, that some of the main logi hubs have traffic congestion that people always get stuck. Unlike warden side.

There is a overpopulation issue, and i just witnessed it.
Collie players seem to have lots of American / Canadian players, Their Largest regiment seems to be a Chinese one and a healthy dose of Europeans.

In comparison,
I rarely seen a full regiment of players on the warden side, too many regiments with only 1 player in them. Rarely any recruiting going on, and logi hubs with a few trucks, if not, somewhat deserted. Always the same few people talking, and players seem to be mostly European.

when comparing these what ive seen, forgive me for commenting, but i must say, Collies complaining and hating on warden faction is pathetic. Some of collies literally HE rush tactic relic bases just to destroy them at the cost of hundreds of shirts. I never seen that happen on Warden side, ever, This is my 3rd war? 4th war? .. including one i played years ago i think.


It would be nice if Devs released population stats. Playing warden faction consumed alot of my time, mostly in defense. It wasnt fun. It was frustrating and panic ridden.

It's probably to do with how the models look.

The colonials definitely look like the Allies while the wardens look like Axis.

I just started playing last night and that's how I picked my side.

I have a tendency to gravitate towards what feels more "relatable" or the "good side" in RPGs, especially for first runs. So, that may be what others went with too.

wardens literally wear french ww1 trench uniforms.

For me it was both down to looks and youtubers, knowing that youtubers like CaptainShack tend to fight for the colonials did influence my decision. Though it was primarily down to the aesthetic.

There's nothing wrong with the wardens look but I prefer the olive green US army style of the colonials.

I think it's great that the devs made the effort of having unique looks and vehicles for the factions rather than having generic units with different colours for each team. But obviously the drawback of having unique looks is that people will have a preference.

Well for what i have seen when i was going to buy the game i wanted a side i thought would teach me the game, have a goods time and one which was raging at issue they say they have. Yes i love a harder war and one more even but you'll never get that in a game, it never been bal or fair so even with the same tec you will have different groups and players and i just felt the wardens were not as welcoming but i may be wrong this is my first war

Their vehicles and small arms are German interwar based though

You have some stats on foxholestat.
You have a Twitter too with co stat
For example for the currently war you have a 25-32% wardens against 68-75% colonial players (depending the day)
So between 2 and 3 colonial players against 1 warden player.

[Hot Gunt]

Wardens clan-stacked for months and now they all bailed because the meta flipped to Colonials.

They'll be back with the armor change and their Ballistahand with a HVMG spamming "sounds like a skill prob get gud cope and seethe" etc etc next update.

And therefore its Ok to have Colonial overpopulation and OP weapons. Right? k .. cool. *plays other games in the meantime*

Warden BAD
Colonial GOOD

They all look like generic WW1 weapons, especially the ugly storm rifle. With exception to the mp40 looking smg.

[savio22]

it`s my first war as colonies i bought game 3 days ago an lot o ppls write that warders are hard difficulty, next war i will try logiistic by warders side...

[Pizzashot]

You need to play where clans play to see them because bigger clans build a big concrete base at the back and push forward. I play Warden and we have several clans with active members all over the map. Colonials might have more clan players, I dunno, but you will see a lot of Warden clan members if you know where and when to look for them.

[Cpt. Blyatman]

as soon as collies unlock the tank, they will steamroll everything.
As usual.
Reading them snickering about in world chat about rushing tech to get tanks, was cringe.

Collies have more people doing logistics and tech. They constantly tell everyone to gather all tech and bring it to one place. Wardens dont. I dont know about this war because i switched sides to see for myself.

Europe is 8 hours ahead of USA and the logistics hubs for Warden won't be as active at 04:00 as it is for Colonials at 20:00. Wardens are mainly Europeans and Colonials USA, but there are people from allover the world in both teams. Our population goes down by a lot at late/early European hours when Colonials rush with high pop, vice versa.

they could do like planetside does and add more que limits
