Incoming liaisons?

It was a scrambled word.


Its isolation incoming. Its a cavern map possibly.
Um. Lmfao.

I think I heard the developers from all the way over here facepalm or punch their desk.

I feel like theyre gonna hunt me down in mp and chase me with the loader till they run me over because of this to get the anger out of their system. That'll be fun...
*RUNS*

 

maybe this is a cool way that the developers give a sneak peek. but there is no T in the scrambled word... LOL!!!

I have no idea other than that they’ll be big, probably much larger than any T-series engine. If I had to wild guess I’d say 18-27 liter diesel

“Liaison incoming” might be indicating some sort of joint venture? That could possibly confirm a new brand for the heavy equipment

 

if that is a brand... How do you pronounce Liaison? it sounds weird... ( lie-ai-son)

 

Nope. I feel like it's going to be teamwork related where multiple machines have to work together to make something be done smoothly. Like the loader and the hauler trucks at a mine. That confirms that its 100% those two trucks. That word can also describe two cranes or tow trucks teaming up. Im just guessing using a dictionary so forgive me

Or. Thats the brand name they went with for the loader and hauler stuff

 

I didn’t mean that liaison is the name of the brand, just saying whatever the brand is, it might be a joint venture between companies in lore.

Or it could just refer to the vehicles working together.

Though the more I think about it, I still feeling like they’ll be a Swedish brand. I looked through the wiki article for Volvo construction equipment and they do have a long history of joint ventures with other companies. In case you want to read about it yourself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_Construction_Equipment

Plus I’m trying to think about this from a dev’s point of view, and adding a new Swedish brand would open opportunities to filling several niches, one of which is obviously heavy equipment. As mentioned earlier, the brand could later include passenger cars, SUV models, euro cab over truck/bus and possibly a more modern conventional truck.

Sweden is one of the last major automotive industry European countries not represented by at least one brand in game, we already have Germany (ETK), France (Cherrier), Poland (FPU) and Italy (Autobello and Civetta) so I feel like adding Sweden is a no brainer at this point. (Keep in mind this is just me spitballing, my assumption about how the devs think may or may not be correct so take this with a grain of salt.)

 

possible...
