no only new London has anything like that but it only rides the earths magnetic currents
Well, unfortunately for them, the Green Storm Stalkers were capable of self-resuscitation and reanimation after almost any form of harm, thus while they could smash any vehicular assault on them without issue, eventually Green Storm could attrition them down.
GS stalkers are decidedly low tech to the original stalkers. they certainly cannot self resurrect. They have to have their batteries taken out to recharge ffs

So obviously they would be super menacing and do a tonne of damadge, but they suffer from a sort of binary outcome.
If they get immobilized theyre linda screwed cuz then the green storm can surround and destroy them.
Without their mobility theyre much less threatening, so they have to make use of effective teamwork to prevent this and protect immobilized cities so they can repair.
On a strategic level they have the issue that your frontline forces are also your economy so losing cities on the frontline also means losing production facilities etc.
The Traktionstadtsgesellshaft seem to aware of thise and they move in squadrons with screens of harvester suburbs moving ahead of the main cities to clear out enemy hardpoints
total war society, using natural barriers like marshes and mountains ranges, air power, city traps, resurrecting the dead to fight again, steam catapults, starting the war unannounced etc etc
clearly you do not have the proper dedication to the ideals of the Storm. You're a defeatist and probably an old Anti Traction league loyalist too.
I didn't mind the traction city concept, but the municipal Darwinism somehow being supplanted by multiethnic chinks and nogs doing normal cities annoyed the frick out of me.
It mentions that Marnau and a few other traction cities also have to settle down as the system ends but its also set something like 19,000 years into the future after several apocalypse's so i don't even know if any of those ethnicities still exist
Only in the movie. Magnus Chrome (who is barely a character in the movie) is an excellent antagonist in the book with actual reasoning behind his actions.
I have tried to stary thread ls about the book on PrepHole and threads about the movie on /tv) but somehow its only /k/ where i get based discussion about this series. Mental really

Yeah I think the dumbing down of the villain was the worst part of the film of all it's crimes. Turned into fricking starwars 3.0 with no nuance.
I think what was rather confusing to me was why there were only defensive works on some of the mountains.
There are plenty of hills in Europe that even the smaller cities would really struggle to climb, I often wonder why there weren't far more static bases even in the killing fields.

Also there were small monster truck sized gangs that would prey upon things hiding in such places, and crush your house unless they were on a cliff or something.

I cans ee why threads about the movie go nowhere but im surprised people dont wanna discuss the books theyre legendary
4500-5200 years iirc Reed saying or one of the prequels mentioning.
I didn't mind the traction city concept, but the municipal Darwinism somehow being supplanted by multiethnic chinks and nogs doing normal cities annoyed the frick out of me.
Which ultimately never made sense to me considering China and America were essentially obliterated.
Is this a mortal engines thread?
I remember vaugely reading them as a teenager but the latest film was literally aids so I try to forget.
How do you manage to cope with such a godawful film that didn't even seem to follow the books.
Idk I liked the film but when I read the books I realised that they couldn't simply cram every single little deatil on there that mare this ridiculous setting so cool.
I don't hate the movie but it's a far, far cry from the books
i was strongly and incessantly enraged 24/7/12/365 by the movie.
they didn't cut it down they just changed everything so it made no sense and had it done well an sequels would have had no poignancy and would have had to deviate from everything massively.
I remind myself the books came first and that film often fails to capture the good of the written word. Would like to have seen more of the 60 Minute War being depicted, but that’s about it.

Do they have anti gravity tech?Because otherwise that thing won't move.

What kinda' fuel mileage do you get in that thing?

10,000 gallons/mile
tfw your displacement is in cubic meters.
To quote a video somewhere between 'who cares' and 'its going to get a little warmer'

You know what the real question is, how the frickdo the green storm fight these things and actually win?

Stalker fang is a tyrant who will lead the green storm to ruin in her quest for revenge. Only by making peace can we make the world green again.
Follower of the Aleutian b***h and her lies!

All the bad guys are white Bongs, and all the goodies are a multiethnic cast of every race :*~~))

i don't cope. I am crushed under the weight of this fact.
Frick you for reminding me about that god awful failed abortion of a movie
I dont understand how they took such astounding novels and managed to make them so shit

i hate peter jackson now
Also they got the asthetic completely wrong, its supposed to be dark steampunk vibes and instead it was just regular futuristic vibes
i agree, i pictured the traction cities as humungous oil rigs on tracks for all bit the richest
What, you didn't like a poorly veiled anti-Brexit meme shit slog?
