Personally, I watch all videos in any language with subtitles auto-translated, auto-translation performs well these days, and some channels have also started to activate the auto-doubling option in several languages, as on the podcasts of Guerilla Miniatures Games or the tutorials of Ph3lan's Miniatures, which is very comfortable. But Anglo-Saxons don't seem too interested in reading subtitles, nor in using the auto-translation techs that exist on Edge, which is why I've never made the effort to up videos outside English.
Cerberus Nachrichten Netzwerk did a reac on the 3 nomad factions, I did a quick summary at ia. Counterintelligence Episode 02 - N5 Deep Dive für Nomads Spoiler: summary #### General impressions of N5 Tim feels that N5 has made significant changes while retaining the essence of Infinity. He notes that the changes are more extensive than expected, but are positive overall. The changes include rule adjustments such as Eclipse Balls and Disco Balls, which have an impact on the balance of the game. Hacking is a crucial element of the game in Infinity, and Nomads have several units and abilities that allow them to take advantage of this mechanic. The changes brought about by N5 have made hacking even more dynamic and strategic. Tim concludes that the Nomads remain a solid, balanced faction in N5. Although some adjustments have been necessary, the Nomads still offer many strategic options and remain competitive. N5's changes have made the game more dynamic and interesting, while retaining the essence of Infinity. #### Nomad-specific changes - Vanilla Nomads**: Tim observes that Vanilla Nomads have undergone significant changes, including a reduction in Aro softs and a need to adapt to new strategies. - Corregidor**: This sub-faction has lost flexibility with fireteams, making the units less effective. The ability to create flexible fireteams with numerous Wildcards was a major strength of Corregidor, but this flexibility has been reduced. - Tunguska**: This sub-faction seems to have stood up well to the changes, with link teams still performing well. Units such as Securitats and Grenzers can still be used effectively in link teams. - Bakunin**: Bakunin has lost flexibility with fireteams, making the units less effective. The ability to create flexible fireteams with numerous Wildcards was a major strength of Bakunin, but this flexibility has been reduced. Fiddler has lost some of its effectiveness, not least due to the reduction in its close-combat capabilities. Charges are less attractive, and Fiddler is now more expensive. Jackbots are now hackable and have lost their template, making them less effective. They have also lost their shock immunity, making them more vulnerable. Zellenkrieger were very effective at skirmishing thanks to their Heavy Pistol and -3 CC attack. However, this ability has been removed, making Zellenkrieger less attractive. The Lizard has been improved and is now more affordable, with an integrated Repeater and HMG Multi. It is now a viable option for Bakunin lists. #### Vehicles and Guided - Nomad Vehicle**: The Heavy Rocket Launcher vehicle is highly effective and affordable. It can inflict heavy damage and is disposable, making it a credible threat. - **Guided**: Changes to Guided make this ability more balanced. It is now riskier and less dominant, which is good for the balance of the game. ### Summary of Key Points on Turrets in Infinity N5 for Nomads Tim and the interviewer discuss the impact of turrets and deployment strategies. They conclude that turrets will have a moderate impact but will not dominate the game. Turrets are seen as a credible threat, but not as a dominant element of the game. #### Turret management in Nomads - Clockmaker**: The Clockmaker is a Nomad unit that can deploy a turret with a Combi Rifle. It's a standard turret, but useful for defense. - Tunguska**: Tunguska might have some interesting turrets, but the text doesn't provide specific details. #### Tactics for Countering Adversary Turrets - Mods Decking**: Tim points out that mods decking will become very important. With the introduction of new rules and abilities, players will have to adapt to situations where mods will play a crucial role. Turrets, with their BS10, can be neutralized by units with appropriate mods. - MSV and Albedo**: Capabilities such as MSV and Albedo can be used to counter turrets. For example, MSV can be used to cancel the effects of Albedo, making turrets less effective. - Flash Pulses**: Flash pulses are an effective tactic against turrets. Nomads can use units like the Go-pod to deploy flash pulses, making enemy turrets less effective. - **Cover and BTS**: Turrets can be countered using units with good cover and BTS. Nomads can use units like Zeros to deploy mines and repeaters, making enemy turrets less effective. #### Conclusion Tim concludes that turrets will have a moderate impact but will not dominate the game. Nomads have several tactics for countering enemy turrets, including using decking mods, flash pulses, and units with good cover and BTS. The changes brought about by N5 have made the game more dynamic and interesting, while retaining the essence of Infinity.
