Really liking this overview of the whole campaign quality stuff 🙂
Thank you @nakchak for actually making sure it happened mate lol 😉
Glad to have helped and looking forward to the next one….
Looks like Haqq were the ones to have an alliance with. Best all round battle reports from the results of the other areas and that really boosted the Nomads at the power plant.
Aleph form the previous results seemed to have lower amount of top level battle reports so resulted in us Yu Jing taking a bigger drop in points.
It is worth noting that Haqq seem to also be better at reports that Yu Jing and Nomads, who seem to be on about the same level.
Not having a dig at anyone. Everyone has different time commitments for writing reports. I sat on 6 games worth of reports because I could not find the time to write them up.
Yu Jing also went down due to the starting points going away. would have been nice to know that would happen.
All good fun. And we know what to do next time (gang up on pan-O).
Amazing to get a mention for one of my battle reports, thanks Carlos!
This was such an inspiring event. It really pulled the community together. Also, it added so much drama and excitement to the games because every result mattered.
Can’t wait to see what you come up with for the next one, but after this, I have high hopes!
Thanks BoW for all your hard work!
Wow that turned out a bit different to how I expected.
Also I think being Ariadna’s liason makes me the only non Corvus Beli Employee that’ll have 2 left handed Ghulam HMG guys…
Looking forward to seeing how this will affect the fluf and future Infinity campaigns, Gates Of Antares starter set on the way to get stuck onto the next warconsole outing…
Amazing amount of work and creativity, both from the team and the thousands of players. Epic accomplishment, seriously . . . you all should be very proud. 😀
Excellent last show. Well done in bringing all together.
Great fun
Quite intriguing results, thanks!
I can’t wait to see the whole thing (have classes interrupting my viewing so far) but it looks awesome!
Can’t say I’m not pleased with the result, and I am already looking forward to the upgraded version of the campaign system (with all the improvements from now and the campaigns for the rest of the year) in 2017.
corvus belli , beasts of war and the infinity community well played gentlemen.

Thanks for putting on a great campaign guys. Brilliant work for debut of the system. I for one am looking forward to the next one.
So, pulling the figures out for the final faction totals, “live” vs the AI Historian moderated numbers we see:
Aleph 1379 goes to 799 a drop of 580 or 42%.
Ariadna 1716 goes to 1438 a drop of 278 or 16%.
Combined 1454 goes to 900 a drop of 554 or 38%.
Haqqislam 1340 goes to 1111 a drop of 229 or 17%.
Nomads 2079 goes to 1517 a drop of 562 or 27%.
PanOceania 2165 goes to 1790 a drop of 375 or 17%.
Tohaa 1049 goes to 786 a drop of 263 or 25%.
Yu Jing 2201 goes to 1502 a drop of 699 or 32%.
So Aleph were the top propagandists, followed by Combined and Yu Jing, with another drop down to Nomads and Tohaa.
Haqqislam and PanOceania both ran pretty “clean” campaigns, but the pick of the pack is Ariadna who managed to have the lowest % drop at the hands of the AI Historian.
I’m SO PROUD of PanOceania for how good all your reports were.
I do like how this worked out. Admittedly I wished the Nomads had a better showing but don’t we all wish our faction did better? The Live vs. the AI results are slick. If you did do a real battle but didn’t make a good report then it seems command dismissed it. Really this forces people to step up their complete game since people will most likely want to have pictures of painted models not naked ones and at least nice looking boards.
And the fact that the company is really going to use these results in the official game story line is awesome. It might be a little island off to the side but still super nice.
I enjoyed the video with the updated outcome to Operation Flamestrike, but @dignity could links to the battle reports mentioned in the video be added to this article? I’d like to look at them and read them myself.
Nice review guys. Those historian results are quite the upset for Tianxian. Just consider that keeping control of the spaceport was the whole reason for the Haqqislam-Nomad alliance. In hindsight we never actually lost it.
Yeah I was thinking that myself, personally I think the AI Historian added an interesting dimension to the campaign and enough uncertainty to make it a worthy climax.
The fog of war mattered enough in this campaign to steer factions into good decisions and ‘bad’ (or really unnecessary) decisions – and that is exactly what fog of war does in real life.
I’m really pleased with how the platform panned out 🙂
Haqqislam turned out to be “The little faction that could”. Being fairly small in number of players, but still managing to hold two locations in the end. All while playing a fairly clean game.
AI Historians are stealing our jobs!
Well, mine anyway :p Great work!
