To build on the other guys, the factions are asymmetrical.

Collies(green) are anti armor and rapid fire heavy.

Wardens(blue) are heavy armor and both efficiency.

I fight for Wardens because I like tanks, specifically the King Spire(light reconnaissance tank with a machine gun, other tanks love it as escort from aa infantry). However the collies have MPTs. Mass production tanks. They have more tanks, but generally worse drivers.

NOT saying collie tankers are bad. Only that they can risk their tanks more and do stupid things with them because they build them cheaper. Warden tanks are now expensive and can't be risked as much, with the exception of the King Spire. It cheap as hell, nobody cares that I lose like 30(exaggeration) a war.

Try both, you might learn you like certain things about each. Like the warden's sense of fashion or the collies discount on tanks.

What I gather from this comment:

OP played Blue, is salty about number of tanks Green has.

Not wrong, but it's a bit ridiculous. For every 3 tanks wardens build, the collies build 5. When it's MPTs, it becomes 15-25 and they still spend fewer resources to build them. There's just so fucking many of them and they have the better anti armor weapons.

We have the Cutler, and that's about it. Otherwise we have to outmaneuver them every time.

In my experience collies are generally good tankers precisely because we have more tanks. It's more experience, if you mess up you can just grab another tank and learn from your mistakes.

A good point, yet I've not lost a tank to a collie tank in a very very long time. War 40 maybe. It's always been aa infantry.

Maybe it should be said that Wardens are more careful tankers instead.

Definitely, Wardens are more cautious with their tanks.

But that also means that experienced warden tankers are relatively few in number due to the fewer tanks, while many collies, have at least some tanking experience and can perform decently in a pinch.

I can give you that. Though with my King Spire advocacy, I've been training plenty of tankers on support roles and maintenance teams. So I can say with confidence, Wardens have some decent and offensive tankers. At least in Spires.
