The Lance Command League is a territorial warfare simulation based in the MechWarrior genre of online games. Our system is designed to encourage tactical teamplay with plenty of opportunities for delegation of responsibility. We focus on command at the lower levels of team play, giving everyone the ability to participate in team operations. Combat is micro-managed at the ground level, allowing anything from small skirmishes to large battles, all of which have an immediate impact on the surrounding campaign. We feel that this type of strategic simulation has been somewhat overlooked in past renditions of your typical "planetary" leagues, and as such Lance Command seeks to provide this new experience to the Mechwarrior community.

Please note: LANCE COMMAND IS CURRENTLY IN DEVELOPMENT. SOME SITE FUNCTIONS ARE NON-OPERATIONAL AT THIS TIME.

'Recent Script Updates'

Broadcast 26-Oct-3061 02:16 UTC by [-]

Recently I decided to rework the map creation script using an idea that's been bouncing around in my head for a couple of years. The results are awesome! The terrain patterns are believably random and no longer show the patterning issues it was experiencing before. I have since been looking into full planetoid mapping (20 connected campaign theaters) as well as implementing a latitude-based climate system. These aren't essential at the moment, but it's good to get the brain moving again and get some much needed motivation.

Hope to post an update soon.

'Project Hiatus'

Broadcast 10-Jul-3061 09:03 UTC by CHHš Stormin' [-]

As some of you may have guessed, progress on the Lance Command project ground to a halt about a year ago. An increase in my work load, night classes, and limited time with family unfortunately put LC down on the priority list. I haven't had much of a chance to keep up with the community. Being distanced from the MWLL development team as well as a seemingly biased support for another league left me with a poor outlook on the future of LC as a league for MWLL.

However...

I am currently looking into where I left off, and I am re-evaluating community interest in the project. Hopefully I will have an update soon.

'Nearing Closed Alpha'

Although probably still weeks away, I'd like to let you know that the progress recently made toward battle functionality puts us in a good position for some testing soon. At this point we will open team creation again and be inviting a few teams to participate in at least one closed campaign to test basic no-frills operation. Thanks for continuing to follow our progress...check back soon for more updates.

'Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries'

Broadcast 02-May-3060 00:51 UTC by CHHš Stormin' [-]

Mektek has recently released MW4: Mercs after a long and unexpected delay. This means that the portion of LC that has seen the most development over the years will receive nice boost when it comes to release. Any new MW blood or old vets looking for a change of pace can find refuge here at Lance Command. LC will fully support the new re-release of MW4: Mercs using the 3.1 MekPak.

MWLL fans, don't worry. Although I've put some effort into making this league work with MWLL's current respawn design, other options may soon be available in that arena which would make the current design moot (as far as LC is concerned). Perhaps by the time these other modes are ready, LC will be ready to plug and play.

'Project Delay'

Broadcast 02-May-3060 00:41 UTC by CHHš Stormin' [-]

As some of you may have noticed, development on Lance Command has ground to a halt in the past few months. Unfortunately for the project, real life obligations have caught up to me and I've had to put most of my time into full time work, full time school, and what's left usually goes to study and family.

My schedule should settle down in a couple of weeks with the summer sessions starting, so I hope to be able to turn some much needed attention to getting things moving again here. Thanks to those of you still keeping an eye on the site.
