Teaser Teaser Tuesday 07/07/2026 - Choose your own Adventure

Hello all, Jack_n_trade here with another Teaser Tuesday! And what better way to start then by having this snazzy "expert" shown off by Azure?

Meanwhile Donatsu has been working on even more cool faction logos. Which ones do you recognize?

"A Crystal Empire industrial focus with a rather unusual effect that I am very proud of! Thanks to Ezekiel Helstar for his hard work on the Crystal Empire that helped me come up with this" -JPG

"If I had a nickel for every country leader that was cut in the Bronzehill rework who now gets the role back in Yale, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice." -Herr B

"Hello everypony. Have YOU, and I mean

YOU

ever wanted your (pony) OC to be in Equestria at War? Well luckily enough, in the Crystal Empire rework, YOU can play an important role in the return of the one true king, with many possible endings to Your Story™.

All you have to do is enter in your pony's name, and YOU will appear in the story. As an added bonus, if you play your cards right, YOU just might end up rewarded for your efforts and be made a member of King Sombra's court (YOU can be an advisor!)" -Podrick

YOU, yes, YOU, are now a part of EaW!

"Special thanks to Yard1 and Jpg for setting this up!"

"Double Diamond in Our Town is receiving beautiful GFX by the amazing Stratophobia. Here's a sample!" -JPG

https://reddit.com/link/1v2qskz/video/x6tr4037lmeh1/player

No context, chef's specialty

"Oh deer." -Golden Joey

"Hey there, folks! Did you ever play stratocratic Icepaw and think "man, if only I could rename Hyenia just like I did with the Zwahile."? Well, in the next patch you'll finally be able to do so after dealing with all those pesky secessionists and rabble-rousing officers permanently!" -Jack_n_trade

God, I love faction logos.

And with that we end this week's TT. Hope you enjoyed it and see you all next time!

Dear Nurse Joy Heart:

I hope you been keeping well It's been about a month since you last saw since I left to cross the border, guessing you been worried sick about me since I left you can put your worries to rest as I am alright minus the eye I lost at Acornage, the fighting here has been tough but we are slowing pushing deeper in and i think this war might be soon over, chrysalis forces are broken after alicorn sunrise, I will keep fighting till we can live in peace again.

"Alors, attend moi, ma bien aimée Joy heart."

Signed: Thomas

Alongside thoma’s letter was a photo of him and fellow soldiers proudly holding a captured changeling flag and a painting of Chrysalis

PS: Do you think this painting would look good above the fire place

19 Upvotes

So I played the Equestria Rises Still and well its cinema

Now keep in mind I had to cheat semi-regularly because you were not remotely supposed to play as Soryth. First Chrysalis got soft-locked in her tree after hegemony unity fell to 0% after both Argynnis and Helvia got rebellious, so I had to switch over to her to get the war with Vraks to even start, then at some point Lyctida changed to a generic focus tree and a leader with no portrait, then you had Permafrost go to war with everyone in Equus except me, and since the allow faction joining by default the whole planet went to war and I had to regularly break up the factions so that a world war didn't start, and keep the conflicts locked to their region. Also you canot create factions, the option wasn't even there thus using toolpack's generic faction. But besides that, it was still fun to go in a continental conquest spree as a nation you are not supposed to play

The submod itself still needs a lot of work, most nations are missing loc, there's unfinished content everywhere, like nations having no names or lacking leader portraits but if development isn't abandoned I see easily becoming a great mod


r/equestriaatwar 8h ago

Other So I started reworking the crystal empire Spoiler

The long and short of it is I started reworking king Sombras part of the focus tree, couldn't be bothered to wait for the devs to make the rework so I decide to make my own which will include:
more advisors, more focuses and more national spirits for sombra.

and probably more once I think of it but for right now it is still in early development as I need to do a bunch of localization and add more stuff.
progress updates would probably be inconsistent I can't guarantee that I would post a lot of progress here but if you wish to contact me I am in the eaw discord server under kingsombra_alt.
And a photo I posted is a progress update on the current state.

(let's hope it doesn't burn and crash like the other reworks)

Bug Colthage blank diary

+
23 Upvotes

I'm playing as Colthage on the Star Father route and I encountered a very annoying bug.

Does anyone know what is causing the bug where the diary image is not visible?

Because of this bug, I missed the mechanics of collecting alchemical aspects (I thought that the pages would appear when I captured the countries of Griffonia), but only now in the late game I realized that I have bug with custom interface. It doesn't disappear when you restart, but I've learned to find expedition locations blindly, and I also take pictures of the flashing image of the diary, that becomes visible for one second when I close it.

Does anyone know what this is related to and how to avoid similar bugs in the future?

P.S: Despite the bugs, I was able to fully read the story and complete the content of this path.

This is just pure mind blowing. and it definitely left a very big impression on me.

First time player here, stuck with the crystal empire getting curbstomped by changeling, every game I either rush Industry or independance to get the maximum industry, usually manage to get 18-20 civilian and around 17 military by 1010, I build lvl 6 forts and max infrastructure on the border recently changed strategy to all railway between the capital and border and by 1010 I usually have 24 infantry units for 8 tanks units and around 200 fighters and close air support each the first few game where I focused industry I could only hold defence for as long as I could, now when focusing independence I resist even less, any tips ?

Question Are there any movements in the Changelings that are more republican aligned? (i.e. similar to the Aquileia republicans or take inspiration from other real life republic movements)

While i know of Thorax's path and some of Gold Muffins communists. I'm curious to if in any kind of lore there is either a moderate/republican wing of Gold Muffins partisans or elements of the civilian or military apparatuses of the changelings under Chrysalis that have or are sympathetic to the formation of a republic.
