Okay, ponies aside, this game looks pretty damned cool. Didn't even know it existed. A few questions for those who've played it:

1: Does it support joystick / hotas? I've got a G940 sitting on a shelf right here that would feel epic on a flight fighter.

2: Is there a single player / campaign or offline mode? I just saw an "Arcade mode" listed somewhere.........

3: is the Lockheed p-38 Lightning available? How about the Vought F4U Corsair? I'd love to go all Pappy Boyington on someone's ***.

Spoon feed Me information, my fellow pony fans!

War for the overworld just released a new unit.


The Democorn:



The Democorn was raised in a leprechaun's pot over an active volcano. Fed with sprinkles, fire, and cupcakes this unique beast was destined to bring adorable death to all who dared contest its rule over the realm. It knows no fear, no pain, and no remorse — and the few who have managed to escape its wrath whisper tales so frightful even the undead quake upon hearing them.

Outside of combat, which always ends in a swift (brightly coloured) death for the other participants, the Democorn will prance around your dungeon looking for friends.. The happy clippity-clop of its hooves often sends your own minions scurrying into the darker corners of your dungeon to avoid the Democorn’s particularly interesting form of... friendship — but the Democorn can smell fear.

Abilities

Level 1: Friendship is Horrible: The Democorn will try to befriend any friendly unit it encounters, instantly turning it into another Democorn.
Level 1: Painbow: The Democorn fires a horrifically pleasant rainbow at an enemy unit, dealing every type of damage imaginable.
Level 4: ***** Charge: The Democorn charges at an enemy unit, dealing tons of damage with his fabulous horn and stunning it for all eternity.
Level 7: Disco Inferno: The Democorn breaks out into an awesome dance, filling the depths of the underworld with upbeat tunes and causing all nearby units — friend and foe — to join him in dancing uncontrollably.
Level 10: Double Painbow: The Democorn fires two horrifically pleasant rainbows at an enemy unit, dealing every type of damage imaginable, times two.

Here's what it sounds like.

I think you can get the G940 to work just fine. The game supports all the functions of my CH combatstick 568 and Saitek rudder pedals. It's free-to-play and has 3 options for gameplay - Arcade (this is where the ponies are currently), Historical battles and full real battles (HB and FRB are currently EU and RU servers only but any player can play on those servers).

Here's the US planes:

this is pretty much why i take notice of these things... i'm no animal lover no way but animation yeah!

my elder sister had some of those toys and i do remember a bit of the old prgramme. the designs were too close to horse anatomy so the animation was stilted and the colours were kept basic to make the contors take on the action. i didn't like it at all. the new stuff i still have no interest in... but... the animation and designs are fantastic! what a face lift expressfull faces included and so much bright colour! i'm not surprised it's popular!

so out with the old...



and in with the new



cause it's just more bright and lively. great animation on a core level! still not my scene though sorry guys! but i understand it's fanbase.

[Agent of Change]

I like ponies, I do. don't tell anyone

it seemed wrong that my campaign for attention pushed this thread off the front page.

Having nothing to work with but Tequila and Crystal Light drink mix, my wife whipped up something we quickly dubbed a PinkyPie.
(She wouldn't let me upload the pic of her in her pajamas , so you get me instead... sorry)

Photobucket, damn you and your flippin... ahh whatever

Well, with our new Highlander out there, it was inevitable. Someone would find where PGI has been making those pink hoppers and get some footage for the crowd.

EEEEYUUUUPPP.

Wouldn't it be epic if there was an episode where Luna got to sing, and they have her go full blown metal? Maybe even bring in an actual metal band to do the song.

Yeah yeah, I know it'll never happen, but I can dream, right?
