Battle Nations Is BACK (Beta Gameplay & First Impressions 2025) | Episode #1

[@boxer9995]

Can't believe we're actually back, can't wait to see the new generation of youtubers

[@BattleNationsAP]

Literally! Can’t wait to grind the game out more and actually be apart of the community it has created. 🙏

[@GlobalWarring]

My business partner and I started playing BN in our early 50's 🤣 . We used to feign meetings to decamp to a local hotel for Boss Strikes 🙈. At one point I wrote a letter to Z2 /King that 100+ Alliance leaders and officers signed complaining about something or other I can't remember exactly 🤣. There are Groupme rooms with hundreds of members still joined. Damn its good to see it back 🤗🤗

[@DirectedByAP]

Now that's the time of commitment I need! Insane, surely you guys finished the Boss Strike right LOL? Surely you'll be coming back to BN! Thank you for watching!!

[@GlobalWarring]

@DirectedByAP oh, we're both back. A decade older maybe but grinding ready for the Alliances to reform and sleepless weekends 🤣🤣. Can't wait for unit ranking to be back to start grinding those wimps 🤣🤣

This game got me through Middle School, I played from 2012 until the shutdown and I still remember when they gave everyone 1 million nanopods, I went on a splurging spree. Just FYI, in BN, units have a damage type that they deal (Piercing usually for infantry, explosive for naval units, tanks and artillery usually, there's also Crushing, Cold, Torpedo and Depth Charge), and each unit may have resistances or weaknesses against that damage type. So, for example, a Mammoth and most of the Critters, have 125% defense against Fire type attacks (Flame troopers, anything with a Fire attack), what this means is that they take BONUS damage from Fire. Anything over 100% defense implies the unit is weak to a certain type. Anything under 100% defense implies the unit resists damage from a certain type. This also applies to Armor as well, so units' armor can be weak to Crushing but their HP could potentially resist Crushing for example. So, for example, trainable Bigfoots have a 40% Defense against Explosive damage meaning that they only take 40% of the damage normally dealt by an Explosive type attack, which makes tanks and other armored units really not the greatest pick against these. However, they have a 155% Defense against Fire damage meaning that they take 55% more damage from Fire than normal. Pretty much all Critter units except Sandworms (Bigfoots, Boars, Mammoths, Spiderwasps) are all weak to Fire damage. Something that hasn't been implemented into the game yet, is Offense, which is how accurate an Attack is. Alongside that, is Suppression, which is an Accuracy debuff, if your units get hit hard by an enemy attack, they get Suppressed (which is dependent on their Bravery stat) and for that turn, they have lower accuracy than normal. I still remember quite a bit about the game, and for anyone interested, the Wiki is still up and is a very good source of info on not only damage types, but level unlocks as well, and enemy unit weaknesses. Just Google "Battle Nations Unit Stats"

[@BattleNationsAP]

I hope to see you back on then! This game also helped me get through school, mainly just not paying attention in class though haha Yes! The way you've explained how the different damage types is slowly coming back to me but also just a whole new learning experience. Back then I played somewhat tactical but most of the time "cool troop, must be strong" mentality lol Definitely still learning a lot and wanna use future videos to expand upon that learning but help other players too! Thank you for the tips and watching the video! ❤️

@BattleNationsAP Maybe I was just obsessed with BN (and I kinda was), but I was basically on the Wiki 24/7 haha I've been thinking of making BN videos myself to get the word out that the game is back I'm excited for the Unicorn Trooper (and other limited time units to be back), that's a meme unit that also happens to be really good, only takes 20% fire damage, has a secondary attack that hits a 1x3 area for 3-542 damage (thanks Wiki), infinite ammo too Both attacks hit air units, it was also a non-nanopod unit so people just trained so many of these (and Rank 6 Wimps) Look it up on the Wiki, it's gonna be such a meme unit again when they bring it back

[@onealpha_]

@BattleNationsAP I think that mentality is why you saw so many people with Juggernauts, Salamanders, or any of those heavily armoured infantry units, because they just look cool, and the Salamander is amazing I was a bit of a naval warfare enthusiast in-game, when naval warfare was added, I was so hyped, that kinda influenced me IRL hence my profile picture... I was thinking, features I want to see added, top of my list is CO-OP BATTLES So the idea is, someone hosts, and the other person goes to their base They have a unique storyline for co-op mode (Rebels or something else), that works as added lore for the main story, and both players get 4-6 units each, depending on the battle. Turns, it'd be: Player 1 turn Enemy turn Player 2 turn Enemy turn Repeat that ^^^ And it'd be online and local multiplayer with someone next to you on phone or PC Unique story, unique rewards, new enemies and you can play with friends Sorry, am I rambling? Ahem. I'll stop 😅

[@BattleNationsAP]

YOU SHOULD MAKE A CHANNEL! Love the Unicorn Trooper, never had it myself but my dad when he played had it lol Definitely can't wait to start grinding wimps for R6 as well. Hoping to have 500 at least but we'll see. Your idea sounds amazing, definitely some work but all great things take time so! I would love to see a channel from you where you can do breakdowns. It's something I have planned for my channel but will need a TON of time preparing for it as I don't wanna misinform anyone!

[@onealpha_]

@BattleNationsAP This is my channel but I don't post very often haha, I'm not exactly comfortable doing a voiceover so it'd probably be text explained or something I'm gonna make a really big army this time around, considering how the story ended

[@Commander-qw2ld]

Nice video bro

[@BattleNationsAP]

Thank you for watching!

[@BN-Teo]

I miss this game so much, I really hope they don’t make the boss raid thing stupid though. I remember banana stand republic was the only group that got all the good stuff and it was so frustrating.

[@BattleNationsAP]

I’ve missed it so much as well, yeah I remember bits and pieces of that haha! can’t wait to see what will change about it! 👀 thank you for watching!!

[@Jhawar97]

So is it permanently back or they just testing a beta? I was looking at playing it but wasn’t sure if it was temporary or permanent.

[@BattleNationsAP]

As of right now we are in an Open Beta! The game is still being worked on and actively but not all content of the game is out. As of now we can only get to lvl 30 out of 70 + prestige stuff. But it's looking permanent to me!

[@hamster3171]

the permit office doesn't even work in the beta

[@BattleNationsAP]

Yeah it doesn't work now but it'll work someday. I might as well go for it now than wait till later. I feel like once Permit Office is working/announced, a Level Cap Increase will happen 👀

[@gabrielroyer7942]

Can we get back our old account? I was maxed and had so much nanopods like 1000😅

[@BattleNationsAP]

@@gabrielroyer7942 sadly we can’t get our old accounts back. I believe that stuff is long gone 😭

[@danisantabarbara5931]

Follow, that sith dude is really bad. Great video, great info, thanks mate.

[@BattleNationsAP]

We all gotta learn our own way of content and everything. Sometimes it ain’t for everyone, I enjoy his commentary and I learn from that! Still learning how to teach/give tips in mind of whatever situation I’m in 😅 Glad you enjoyed the video though, thank you for watching 🍖❤️
