Cirque Du Blaque Forge is a mechanized freakshow with a focus on Machine Guns, AC2'S and LRM5's! Sound like playing with fire? Or daring our demise? Think again! When focused Role Warefare is applied to these odd weapon systems, great and terrifying things happen! Cirque Du Blaque Forge requires players to focus, communicate, play hard, but most importantly - HAVE FUN! We take Cirque Du Blaque Forge very seriously, but we have a ton of FUN with it!
The Black Forge IS a highly organized, hardcore/competitive unit for (mostly) anyone... and we certainly know how to have a good time...
Now that we're making videos, we can't wait to show you this with gameplay footage. There is a reason its our treat!
The Black Forge is a unit comprised of tight-knit, competitive/hardcore Inner Sphere sportsmen/women that deeply immerse themselves in the Battletech Universe. The Black Forge is designed for the Mechwarrior/Battletech enthusiast of (almost) all stripes and ages who want to be the best they can be, and work together along side those with the same vision.
Our soldiers fight as one to overcome all obstacles, and work with one another to establish true camaraderie and a stronger team. Our brotherhood fights in the name of the Inner-Sphere and its people as we vie to bring the Clans crumbling to their knees.
What is our vision?
The Black Forge envisions a brotherhood of mechwarriors that strengthen and empower one another. We strengthen our members through training and education in warfare. We empower them by giving them a sense of purpose and belonging.
The Black Forge strives to accomplish its vision by upholding its values and establishing true camaraderie within its ranks. We work very hard as a unit, we play very hard to earn our victories. Every victory, no matter how small, is celebrated together. Every defeat is a lesson learned.
We wish is to be the best we can be, while having a blast doing it! While other units exist only to gain profit and enlist a huge army, we exist to dominate our foes and share the experience together as one.
What sets us apart?
The Black Forge truly believes in humility, honor, respect and dedication. We know that there is always room for improvement, regardless of how we did. The Black Forge believes there is no skill cap, such ideals are merely self inflicted limitations. We believe only in skill progression.
As enthusiastic and hardcore as we are about Battletech and Mechwarrior, we consider this our E-Sport. We strive to be proper sportsmen and sportswoman with great attitudes and encourage a friendly, welcoming environment. Nothing is worse than a bunch of elitist jerks. That is why we try so hard to remain humble and remember that we can always be a better version of ourselves!
The Black Forge is a highly organized unit at its core. Our unit incorporates spreadsheets for setting up dropdecks, deploying forces, keeping records, tracking intelligence and more.
Aside from pregame or unit organization, we have developed a unique system for achieving hardcore play, while allowing our members a great deal of build freedom. Every one of our 'mechs are dedicated to specific roles in order to achieve maximum combat effectiveness.
The Black Forge is a unit that truly grants rank meritoriously! Our ranks are indicators of ones ability, and commitment level to the group. The harder you try, and the more you play, the more you are rewarded with additional privileges. These privileges include the ability to lead on the field, unit specialist positions, etc. Aside from the ranks, everyone is held accountable for themselves and we all follow the same set of rules without exception. Even, and especially, our leaders.
The Black Forge follows a chain of command, with the end decisions concerning major course corrections being made by the leadership. That being said, our leadership still asks for the opinions of its community and during unit meetings asks to know how its community feels. We value our communities thoughts and listen intently to what each and every member has to say.

"If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles" - Sun Tzu,The Art of War
The Black Forge is a unit dedicated to constant improvement. We seek to know ourselves, to know our enemy, to know the battlefield, and to know the tactics. Each win is a validation of our hard work and a reaffirmation of what we stand for. Each loss is a lesson we learn from in our march towards the impossible goal of perfection. In the fires of every battle we are forged into a more perfect weapon, a more perfect machine, and so we march into the next inferno ready to start the process again.
The Black Forge is a unit dedicated to teamwork, good sportsmanship, honor, humility, loyalty, self and unit improvement, and of course bringing pain to our enemies. We are seeking a few good pilots to join our ranks. We seek those who want to be part of a strong brotherhood who can join us in our journey towards ever greater achievement. If this sounds like you then please apply at:
Do you have a good attitude and willingness to learn? If so, we are what you want. Are you active at least three days a week? Then look no further. Do you like to be part of the team rather than "part" of a team? We want to hear from you.
The Black Forge values teamwork at all levels of play. If you find yourself in game after game of uncoordinated chaos and wished there was a well organized unit to scratch that need to rise above the storm, then The Black Forge may be the solution you have been looking for.
The Black Forge believes in self improvement. If you just played the best game of your life but felt like there as still room for improvement and growth, then The Black Forge may be the unit that can help you take the next step.
The Black Forge stands for humility and honor. If you are tired of being in game after game of people complaining or insulting one another then The Black Forge may be the unit of mannered gentlemen you have been hoping to find.
The Black Forge is a family. We care about our pilots and their lives. We encourage progress in all areas of life, on an off the battlefield.
The Black Forge is dedicated. We are an active unit and seek pilots who are just as willing to be on 3 or more nights a week as we are.
The Black Forge is looking for Pilots. We understand that joining a unit can be difficult and or some may not know what the requirements of joining a unit are.
What we at the Black Forge look for are:
Attendance- We like to see our Pilots 2 to 3 days a week. Fridays and Wednesdays are our big days. Can you be on during that time for 2 to 3 hours?
Aptitude- Can you play the game? Everyone starts somewhere. Some crawl before they walk and others can walk but need to learn to run. Even others start out running. Where are you? can you learn from after battle critique?
Following orders- It is of upmost importance that you can follow orders. Not following orders while on the battlefield will lose a match and ultimately will break teams.
If the above interests you and you want to join a dedicated and structured unit, please message me here or in game. I would love to hear from you.
If you are looking for a tight-knit group of hardcore, dedicated Inner Sphere players who promote strong coordination, and organization. If you are looking for a Community Warfare focused unit that will train pilots to be part of a well-oiled combat machine then the Black Forge may be what you are looking for. Pilots that are brand new or those that have been around since closed/open beta are welcome to check us out.
Heres what we are looking for:
Active player: (Normally) 3+ days a week including Wednesday nights for training (unless any emergencies or changes occur)
Typically LOGGING IN BY at latest 7-9 o'clock EST
Inner Sphere MechWarrior who enjoys playing Inner Sphere Battlemechs
Summer time is upon us and we all know what that means... Family vacations and long summer days. Are you looking for a unit that is still active? Are you able to follow direction and learn about the game? Do you want more than just a group of people to drop with? If so, come check us out.
We operate with high standards and ask a lot from our pilots, attendance plays a huge role with us. We are very structured and utilize rank and role warfare and take what we do seriously. We are always learning and evolving in the game, I myself am learning to drop command. It is not easy but I am learning it.
*Special Note*
We are generally active 8 pm, eastern, everyday. We love our European brothers and sisters but it does make it difficult for us to link up with the time differences If you can make those times, great! But please be aware.
“...It was as if the very heavens were torn asunder as the great rift had opened. Great black demons clad in metal descended from the rift with a thunderous noise and slew our captors with a fire in their eyes and a blackness in their hearts I had never seen before... Though we were spared that dreadful day, it was a terrible sight to behold… truly, hell itself had come to our world to claim their wicked souls… may evil never visit us again… may the demons need never return…”
- Testament of Brother Curos, rescued civilian of conflict 16
