Since we're having old conversations anyway . . .

There are a lot of things to do in NW that take some skill and game knowledge to be good at. Nobody really ever talks about the top artillerists. Cavalry has a wierd place now, but it's been irrelevent in North America for long enough that nobody even remembers the old cav players (except for me, because I don't shut up about it). Shinto at least remembers one of the top sappers ever from his days as a roving walnut. There were even people back in the day who could do it all. Even entire regiments who did it all (not even talking about detachments like the 63e had).

That the entire "best player ever" discussion is solely based on who could best use one weapon as one class, and that the best regiment based on league 1v1s and bayonet melee is all a little sad. Most of the listed regiments couldn't even form double ranks unless they had fifteen minutes and tape on the ground, let alone fast enough to fire and move before artillery landed. How many of them could play anything other than infantry at a reasonably competitive level?

That's why I've always put the PLG and LIR in my top regiments of all time. They were so consistently good at what they did and lasted for years. People overlook them all the time even though they are two of the most well-known regiments to exist in the game.

xethos wishes he was attila the nun dropping fat dimes on kids and getting 50+ kills in a map

But really, the majority of competitions for this game where for melee infantry and for regimental 1v1s so I would think most people would believe that the best player at those skillsets would be the "Best Player" so that's why everyone discusses it. At that, we barely have enough people to discuss it, the most popular activity. When going into other aspects even fewer people remember.

AsianP was overall better than Russian. Asian could duel/groupfight when Russian could just groupfight. Overall though regiment wise, the LG outranks the 3eVolt, 98e, 42nd etc... since it is a decade thing I would say 63e/71st for the top spots but I think LG definitely should be up there. LG after the 45e merge was a powerhouse and pre 45e LG would trade wins with the 3eVolt, but I think after the merge it definitely switched sides fast with Pinoy, Rafael, Oatmeal etc.. all joining

[Stroke0fd34th]

3eVolt should be considered the best regiment of the decade, it's the only regiment that's had a consistent competitive impact in pretty much every era of competitive NW, I would say its peak skill doesn't quite match the LG's S9 roster, because no one does, but if we're really talking about a decade and not month-long or 1-2 year spans, it should be 3eVolt, which was competitive since 2013 (although has disbanded/reformed a few times).

If 63e had continued to be relevant past mid-2016 I would potentially consider them, but I think 3eVolt continuing past that gives it the edge, but otherwise, kind of the same list fartknocker has.

These lists are a joke considering they really only consider competitive infantry which is a huge circle jerk anyways. Most of the players can only use muskets and can’t play anything else. Most cav players honestly can do it all from what I’ve seen. Not to mention 1LH who is rarely mentioned yet did very well against these regiments despite only playing cav (along with the IV). If you’re going to have a decade awards list, maybe mention more factors or label it for just infantry. Kinda pointless making the same lists over and over when it’s just the same 20 infantry guys arguing over and over again.

 Just loses validity IMO when it’s focused on one group of players who only really know about infantry. You’d think if you spent years on a game, you’d at least branch out a little bit. But whatever makes you feel better.
