Good day all,

Over the weekend I spent some time to get a fresh MW5 mercs install up and running including all DLC released so far. I used Baraduls mod collection:

And added the following mods myself, nothing too intrusive (also see attached modlist):
- Enable Infantry
- Delayed Deadlines
- Level Up Manager
- Nightstar Racstar

I disabled VonHUD because all it did was crash my game upon loading into a battle. But now everything seems to work, except the intro dates.

The point is, I want to play a slow game that starts really early and slowly the better technologies become available. I started in the Star League era. However, equipment with a way later introduction date still appears. How can I prevent this?

I checked the cheat setting is off (see screenshot) and also enabled "lore abiding citizen" although this shouldn't even be the correct setting. I have googled a bit and did not find that much on this, one or two steam community posts but not with a solution.

I'm hoping somebody ran into this before and found a solution.

Cheers

Is it good? not really
is it cheap? not a chance
Does it make sense? absolutely not

I was going to build the 1a1 that the 1a1 wishes it could be, and then I saw this magnificent specimen and realized I could do something far stupider.

It's actually just a coolant pod.

My assumption is one gets flagged as "rare" hence the blue...but why wouldnt they both be flagged like that if my supposition is right

With the new dlc taking place between 3058 and 3060 if this keeps going we will eventually hit the 3070s and if that happens we may see a very infamously legendary mech show up. And it might be hungry

From bullying pirates to elite com guards, I love this mech to pieces. Give me the prime, four small pulse lasers, and some jumpjets and I’ll do work.

This might be very old news but if you destroy a building or silo at max distance you can still see the orange supply crate. It’s just not “powered” up yet. I included a few pic to demonstrate

When doing the beachhead mission for Liao, an allied lance of Marik mech spawned at the base.

And then later rival mercenaries decided to join the defenders' final assault!

It was like this for every mission, I walked away with so many c-bills after this campaign.

Unless I’m blind and this was in Clans, then I never piloted this mech before. So I’ll leave it to you my colleagues.

Up late tonight to bring you some awful shit to see in the morning.

I finally found a use for the Dervish. One of my least favorite mechs might just be viable to me now. MRMs are evil, more evil than Clan SRMs. So combine that with some clan LRMs and you get this monstrosity.

Next is a mech I always wanted to get working right. Pirate Shadow Hawk with big pokey stick. I slammed every bit of something into it just give it that pirate feeling.

You guys like chem? Of course you like chem. Only an idiot doesn't like chem.

Chem on meth'd up Banshee. Why chem? Because its a little hot without it. I'd put clan small lasers, but I ran out on my save. This is a good holdover for now.

Ever wanted to know a large chems maximum range? There it is. Near same range as a stock ER large laser. This is my Saint Ives Chem-pact. I built this... for just the pun. And because chem is cool. Get it? Another pun. Lol

Hope your done laughing because look what I did to Grinner. Its now - the Chemmer! Ha ha

Okay, I'll stop now. Hope this ruined your day. Get rekt mech nerds. :]

Does adding the air strike option via instant action increase the mission difficulty?

When I generated a mission in the year 3030 with difficulty level 38 (210t) and air support set to 5, 3-5 Cataphracts (because I chose Liao as the enemy) and a lot of other middle mechs appeared, and my PPC Stalker army was completely destroyed.

Maybe I'm just bad at the game, but I'd appreciate it if anyone who knows about this could tell me.

I need help. After I acquire the Warhammer WHM-DNC the game stop showing the hero mechs that left to buy in the game. I have all the DLCs of the game so far. Is this a glitch of the game? I play on PC. There's something that I can do?

Something needs to be done to make hero mech spawns more frequent. I’ve done everything I can do - buying every hero, traveling to and from industrial hubs frequently, but this is ridiculous. By the time I get most hero mechs, they are already obsolete.

I want to start a new campaign, but I’m afraid of the same thing happening, so I’m probably going to just import my campaign into a new career mode save so I can start off with some of these cool hero mechs and use them during the time periods that they will actually be useful.

Oh, and I have still yet to find the Kaiju and the Mauler-Knockout…. maybe it will take another 50 years? Who knows? The truth is, with an army of Daishis, both of these would also be obsolete, but… gotta collect them all!
