@a0classcriminal particularly when the Summoner was the choice of 'mech for Jade Falcon. Guess the crew thought that it was easier using the the same Timber Wolves as for Clan Wolf.
I love it how in this game, the Jade Falcon (portrayed as a dark, sinister clan, as if they were the enemy) is actually the one that wins, while the wolves are portrayed as "the good ones" yet they are responsible for this war and loose against the Falcons. It's awesome.
@Sake906 The Wolves started the Refusal War because the Jade Falcons threatened to denounce the Truce of Tukayyid and resume the invasion. Ulric's goal was not to annihilate the Jade Falcons, but to cripple them so they'd have to suspend any invasion and give the Inner Sphere the fifteen years needed to improve their tech and prepare to defend themselves against the Clans. The Jade Falcons won the Refusal War, no arguing that, but needed years to rebuild their strength.
Jade Falcon maybe have been the leader of the Crusader Clans, but it always wanted the Kerensky Bloodname and always felt cheated that it went to Clan Wolf. Both Wolf and Jade Falcon are the two strongest clans, but while Clan Wolf is more open, Wardens. Clan Jade Falcon is always far to closed off and Crusader. The Jade Falcons could not even see that the Refusal War for what it really was and that is why, even though they won, at the same time they lost.
@DeltaAssaultGaming In 15 years they did not avenge him though. Operation Bulldog put a stop to the Clan Invasions. The only revenge the Jade Falcons got was they beat the ComGuards in the Great Refusal. In the end, the Wardens really did win. Star Colonel Aidan Pryde though was the best of Jade Falcon I believe, he left a legacy that others used to try to change the Clan for its better. Like Khan Marthe Pryde.
@redarmyofficer1941 Operation Bull Dog and Operation Serpent, i think you mean. Operation Bull Dog was tasked with chasing the Jaguars out of the Inner Sphere, while Task Force Serpent went ahead and attacked Huntress (and nearly annihilated in the process) until their lucky break came in that Operation Bull Dog had arrived just in time to save their arses.
@Gallowell And afterwards the Great Refusal on Strana Mechty when the Inner Sphere forces fought a Trial of Refusal against the Clan Invasion to stop it for good. The Jade Falcons fought a ComGuard unit in the Trial of Refusal and won. That is how they got their revenge. The Clans lost the Trial of Refusal overall however and the threat of the Clans was gone. This Trial of Refusal became known as the Great Refusal.
@redarmyofficer1941 Aye, the Clan Jade falcon was able to avenge much of their defeats against the ComGuards in the Great Refusall when they won their battle with the ComGuards. That gave Khan Marthe Pryde and the rest of the Jade Falcons their strength to push the Clan Steel Vipers out of their invasion corridor (at a huge price) but ended up still being one of the most powerful Crusader Clans, which would explain why they are still as strong in the Dark Age series.
If you like this video, order and read the book(s): Legend of the Jade Phoenix Trilogy. It has a near-identical aura. It's really a shame the direction things went with Mechwarior 4, MechAssault, the Dark Age novels, etc.
I had this video game as a kid and read that trilogy around the same time. I've been pathologically obsessed with science fiction, space colonization, and the resulting radical political systems ever since.
Trance/telescope/battletech sourcebook art = heavenly weekend
@Novantii I don't see how the books you talk of are near identical to the game, seeing as how the first two books of the trilogy (The Way of the Clans and Bloodname) centered around Aidan and what little talk there was of the upcoming IS invasion has very little depth to it until 'Falcon Guards'
After more than 20 years of being a BattleTech fan, I only just discovered today that the remains of Kerensky orbit the Clan HomeWorld of Strana Mechty and that it is guarded at all times by a Star spun on rotational duty by each of the Clans.
theese cutscenes make me shiver, even today. something modern games with all their technology do not. maybe its because you use ur imagination more when you dont have all that pixel shading dx11 graphics goodness in front of you. or modern gamedesigners are just dumbasses ;) dont know. but hands up for the good old times :)
We of the Star Adders are not swayed by the cry of the Falcon, nor the howl of the Wolf. We will one day take what is ours by right and fulfill Kerensky's vision of Unity, and we will crush all who dare oppose us!
@SulliMike241 YES! We will kill all who would oppose the glorious Star Adders. We will use the might of our Mechs and the fury of our Aerospace to cut a swath across the battlefield, until all are either on their knees before our honor and might, or dead at our feet
@Gallowell yeah that's pretty much the description for every Battletech faction. They all truly believe they are doing the right thing which leaves no chance for long lasting peace. Most of the factions have some sympathetic characters within them or at least somewhat understandable goals...
@Significantpower Sounds like the politics in the world today, quiaff?
Continuing to do things (whilst being ordered) then turned around and few people had any idea of the events in the IS Worlds don't even have minor hope of working to re-built the IS if the House leaders (plus the minor commonalities) never - NEVER stop the constant fighting the do.
I can honestly say that if I was part of Kerensky's Exodus, I wouldn't look back at the IS.
I wish I had a bird that carried a sword...sigh...anyway..i miss the 90s where games like this were in abundance.Now its all space marines and aliens, dont get me wrong I still enjoy playing them its just that nowadays it aint as varied as the 90s to early 2000s
@mchief190 Not to say that the games of today are nothing but repetitive and unoriginal. BattleTech/ MechWarrior at least gave you a challenge )not to say a sense of arrogance when you can bring down 2 stars of 'mech with only 1 IS lance
So, Clan Wolf was Pagan, and Jade Falcon was Christian... Hmmm. Talk about history repeating itself. Now I know why I always fought against Jade Falcon.
@Intranetusa Jade Falcon are crusaders, they are driven to dominate, succeed at all costs, they want to dominate Terra by force. They are the most aggressive clan of the Clans, feared too so some people consider them slightly evil.
I think me and my friend started out Wolves, and then we decided that the Jade Falcons were cooler for some reason... this was before I read all the in-universe background. It's awesome watching this again and actually knowing what they're talking about...
My uncle was always a jade falcon while i was a die hard wolf, he said the other day i always thought falcon was the good guys. *face palm* i had to explain it was a matter of perception, lol
@CWScott24 Me and my dad were 'obstinate Wolves.' I played the Jade Falcon campaign just to 100% the game, but had to replay Wolf again to wash away the filthy feeling.
It's something of a religious metaphor. Both wolf and falcon follow Kerrensky, but differences in the subtleties of their ideologies make them enemies.
Not the vastness of space,nor the wolves obstinate howl will stay us from are richous goal. We are crusaders and will trample ALL who stand in are way!!!!!
Dear me! It seems a thousand centuries ago since I played Mech Warrior II! Though the graphic was not that stunning anymore at the time I played it, but the game itself remained brilliant and the atmosphere and story were amazing. The Jade Falcons were my favourite Clan, what is of course natural as the French were ardent Crusaders in the past too and will maybe have to become again, so my blood had drawn me to the Falcons, therefore: Damn those Warden Wolfs!
the falcons use and favor the thor alot, thats an omnimech. Plus most of the clans use the mad cat. Samething with the IS, they share or steal each other's tech.
The game took place during the Refusal War in 3057. All those mech you mentioned (except Black Lanner) didn't exist/weren't produced until after the end of the War. Pinion itself constructed in 3067.
They don't 'steal'(in the traditional sense). Much of the first 3 centuries of their history was spent creating and sharing ideas. It's simply that certain 'Mechs became more popular with certain Clans (Kodiak -Ghost Bears; Summoner - Jade Falcons; Nova - Wolf)
all the clans are a little bit "gay" like the german nazis... thats their problem, they don´t fight for freedom and pease or money... they fight for their perverted idea of a perfekt masterrace. The people who are not "perfect" are only waste and junk for the clans...
well, not 'instead of' but i'd say in 'addition to'. It'd certainly be nice to re-live the civil war between clan wolf and jade falcon with modern graphics and controls. as well as take vengence upon smoke jaguar for stealing the ghost bear's DNA legacy. Also never got a chance to play Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries (required a PC too high for what i had at the time)
You do know the Wolves are broken and half the Clan is in exile while the other half was only saved from Absorbtion and shadow-ruled by Jade Falcon, quiaff?
And, though I may be panned by some for bringing up Dark Age (I like it, somewhat, myself), the Falcons are the only clan poised to invade the Inner Sphere again.
Aye, I'm not all that adverse to Dark Age myself, as much as I say at times here, and was astrong follower of the Jade Falcons in the original BattleTech but I cheer for the Free Worlds League in Dark Age now, but still hope the Falcons achieve their conquest of the Inner Sphere - they are the most formidable Clan in that continuation, after all and I wouldn't mind seing Aidan Pryde, Khan Marthe Pryde and Diana Pryde's legacy of capturing Terra (as set out in Bob Thurstons series) be reality.
Well, of course- who else would be better to dominate the Inner Sphere as it currently stands in the Dark Age? Clan Wolf's fractured beyond repair, and Sea Fox can't hope to succeed in a foray towards the Inner Sphere. The Falcons are the only ones who're trying, aside from Anastasia's Wolf Hunters.
Aye, ever since Marthe Pryde became Khan some 70 years ago, the Falcons rose to the top of the Crusader cause, but they could just as easily go the way of the Smoke Jaguars, if they aren't careful.
Ah, see, I'm a fan of the original Jade Falcon Warriors - Joanna, Marthe Pryde, Aidan Pryde, Diana Pryde, the 'Tech Nomad and Tyle (aka 'Horse'). I'd have loved Bob Thurston to continue the legacy with Naiad, she seemed cute and cool, even while still in the infant sibko!
Yes, except I do not like the Falcons in the Dark Age series much. They were best in the original BattleTech and I find myself cheering for the FWL and (as ever) Snow Ravens.
Do the Snow Ravens even exist in the Dark Age? The only Clans I'm aware of that survive are Ghost Bear (as Rasalhague), Sea Fox, Jade Falcon and the broken remnants of Wolf.
They do, but they are rarely mentioned in the new series, much like the original BattleTech. They are more of a behind-the-scenes Clan that I am hoping will one day have a storyline all for themselves.
I just found that there was always something sinister about Jade Falcon, unlike Clan Wolf. Even though, both of them were Clans, pitted against the Inner Sphere.
Actually for a long time Clan Wolf stood for protecting the Inner Sphere, which is why they sent some of there best as secret agents into the IS and founded the Wolf's Dragoons.
But in 3050 when so many of Clan's were pitted towards dominating the IS in the name of the Star Leauge that Clan Wolf was forced to yield. But now they are at war with the Falcons, to make sure they protect Terra as was intended by Kerensky when he founded the Exodus.
Not quite. Certain clans are KNOWN for certain mechs, but in Clan Society, you fight for keeps. Enemies develop a better mech? Trial of possession for the plans. The Timberwolf's a mech that's been around for a while. Most of the clans produce them. However, it's a "signiture" mech for clan wolf, that built it in the first place.
aahhhh like in the newer ones if u damage the mech in the right spot so they can take it like blow off the leg we take it against both arms and missles and a leg
Um, no. The only production facilites are located on Strana Mechty under Wolf control and in Arc Royal under WiE control. Of note that the Strana Mechty factory may have fallen due to the insanity that is going on right now in the Homeworlds
Ah this takes me back. God the voice acting and writing in this game was excellent. I can easily sense the cold, ruthless attitude of the Jade Falcons just by hearing her speak.
what she said, from the rememberence... We are Jade Falcon, great among the Clans... We are warriors that fight with the strength of the falcon's claw and ascend to the heavens on the wings of the same. We remember with the clarity of falcon sight the words of Kerensky... Through the smoke of time he speaks to us, his chosen, and urges us onward with the promise of Eden. We will retake what is ours by right, that Shining jewel, Terra!
Not the vastness of space, nor the Wolf's obstinate howl will stay us from our righteous goal. We are Crusaders and will trample all who stand in our way!
Nope, we just kicked the Vipers ass so they wont stop until clanspace. The next one will be you Wolves. And funny that the Hells Horses (oh comeooon who they are?) occupied couple of Wolf worlds in IS. :D
?the real clan Wolf died limping foot and all the pathetic left overs shouldnt be considered Clan Wolf to much honor comes from that name and this is coming from a falcon
you're talking out of your ass. I can't understand your sentence because it's not constructed properly.
Clan Wolf is Clan Wolf. Clan Jade bird-shit is Clan Jade bird-shit. I don't care. Either way, you need to get your facts straight. Might I suggest wikipedia?
hmmm it must be before your time then bc after the invasion stop the ilkhan knew that the clans wanted to go back and continue the invasion but threw some means he had jade falcon and wolf fight in the end wolf formed two wolf in exile and wolf the wolf were week anough and absorbed into JF but somewhat seperate called Jade wolf this didnt last long after a review they denied them but then wolf ask for a trial and they won there new name as Clan wolf you need to get you facts strait

Above all, remember the blood legacy of Aidan Pryde, child of Kerensky;
He made the final sacrifice so that his Clan could continue.

In fifteen years shall we avenge him.

Alongside the Cougar, the Turkina and Jupiter are particularly well known.

The Turkina and BlackLanner are quite well-known

The game took place during the Refusal War in 3057. All those mech you mentioned (except Black Lanner) didn't exist/weren't produced until after the end of the War. Pinion itself constructed in 3067.

Eh, time be damned, I just thought it was appropriate to list Falcon 'Mechs.
DreamTraveller1 2 years ago
They don't 'steal'(in the traditional sense). Much of the first 3 centuries of their history was spent creating and sharing ideas. It's simply that certain 'Mechs became more popular with certain Clans (Kodiak -Ghost Bears; Summoner - Jade Falcons; Nova - Wolf)

The "clan of parrots" is so badass that they need to fortify their position on this clip with TimberWOLVES.
Long live Clan Wolf!

@JadeDarkness8822
is that why in the invasion jade falcon suffered heaviest losses? maybe they should say death to us when they oppose.?
CWScott24 1 year ago
all the clans are a little bit "gay" like the german nazis... thats their problem, they don´t fight for freedom and pease or money... they fight for their perverted idea of a perfekt masterrace. The people who are not "perfect" are only waste and junk for the clans...

Is that not the way with all invading armies? The americans, north korea? I see a pattern emerging here...
gribae 2 years ago
well, not 'instead of' but i'd say in 'addition to'. It'd certainly be nice to re-live the civil war between clan wolf and jade falcon with modern graphics and controls. as well as take vengence upon smoke jaguar for stealing the ghost bear's DNA legacy. Also never got a chance to play Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries (required a PC too high for what i had at the time)

You do know the Wolves are broken and half the Clan is in exile while the other half was only saved from Absorbtion and shadow-ruled by Jade Falcon, quiaff?

And, though I may be panned by some for bringing up Dark Age (I like it, somewhat, myself), the Falcons are the only clan poised to invade the Inner Sphere again.
DreamTraveller1 2 years ago
Aye, I'm not all that adverse to Dark Age myself, as much as I say at times here, and was astrong follower of the Jade Falcons in the original BattleTech but I cheer for the Free Worlds League in Dark Age now, but still hope the Falcons achieve their conquest of the Inner Sphere - they are the most formidable Clan in that continuation, after all and I wouldn't mind seing Aidan Pryde, Khan Marthe Pryde and Diana Pryde's legacy of capturing Terra (as set out in Bob Thurstons series) be reality.
gribae 2 years ago
Well, of course- who else would be better to dominate the Inner Sphere as it currently stands in the Dark Age? Clan Wolf's fractured beyond repair, and Sea Fox can't hope to succeed in a foray towards the Inner Sphere. The Falcons are the only ones who're trying, aside from Anastasia's Wolf Hunters.
DreamTraveller1 2 years ago
Aye, ever since Marthe Pryde became Khan some 70 years ago, the Falcons rose to the top of the Crusader cause, but they could just as easily go the way of the Smoke Jaguars, if they aren't careful.

i liked the falcons until Malvina was introduced. i would have preffered her honorable brother, Alexs, over her
steelfist93 2 years ago
Ah, see, I'm a fan of the original Jade Falcon Warriors - Joanna, Marthe Pryde, Aidan Pryde, Diana Pryde, the 'Tech Nomad and Tyle (aka 'Horse'). I'd have loved Bob Thurston to continue the legacy with Naiad, she seemed cute and cool, even while still in the infant sibko!
gribae 2 years ago
Naiad, eh? I've heard relatively little about her...
DreamTraveller1 2 years ago
That's because she only appears in the one book "Falcon Rising", the last in the Twilight of the Clans series, authored by Robert Thurston.
gribae 2 years ago
Yes, except I do not like the Falcons in the Dark Age series much. They were best in the original BattleTech and I find myself cheering for the FWL and (as ever) Snow Ravens.
gribae 2 years ago
Do the Snow Ravens even exist in the Dark Age? The only Clans I'm aware of that survive are Ghost Bear (as Rasalhague), Sea Fox, Jade Falcon and the broken remnants of Wolf.
DreamTraveller1 2 years ago
They do, but they are rarely mentioned in the new series, much like the original BattleTech. They are more of a behind-the-scenes Clan that I am hoping will one day have a storyline all for themselves.

I just found that there was always something sinister about Jade Falcon, unlike Clan Wolf. Even though, both of them were Clans, pitted against the Inner Sphere.
TekkamanRain 3 years ago
Actually for a long time Clan Wolf stood for protecting the Inner Sphere, which is why they sent some of there best as secret agents into the IS and founded the Wolf's Dragoons.
But in 3050 when so many of Clan's were pitted towards dominating the IS in the name of the Star Leauge that Clan Wolf was forced to yield. But now they are at war with the Falcons, to make sure they protect Terra as was intended by Kerensky when he founded the Exodus.

Similiar to why Ghost Bear is unique in their use of the Kodiak. The longer it's around the more likely it is for other clans to pick it up.

MCPOJohn 3 years ago
Not quite. Certain clans are KNOWN for certain mechs, but in Clan Society, you fight for keeps. Enemies develop a better mech? Trial of possession for the plans. The Timberwolf's a mech that's been around for a while. Most of the clans produce them. However, it's a "signiture" mech for clan wolf, that built it in the first place.
harlequin2262 3 years ago
aahhhh like in the newer ones if u damage the mech in the right spot so they can take it like blow off the leg we take it against both arms and missles and a leg
MCPOJohn 3 years ago
Something like that.
It'd be more a case of "I'm Mechwarrior Ted of the Wolves, we claim your mech deign. Who's going to stop me?"
"I will, mechwarrior Steven of the Jade Falcons. You suck Ted, you risk nothing!".
"Well, I'll offer this nice matching table set, and what remains of my mech if you win".
"Well, alright. Winner gets the prize".
harlequin2262 3 years ago
Um, no. The only production facilites are located on Strana Mechty under Wolf control and in Arc Royal under WiE control. Of note that the Strana Mechty factory may have fallen due to the insanity that is going on right now in the Homeworlds
itstehpope 3 years ago
Huh? What're you referring to?
I seriously doubt that other clan's wouldn't re-engineer their factories to produce a nice mech.
Insanity? As far as I'm concerned, mechwarrior ended with the Jihad and Devlin Stone. This Dark Age crap that Wizkids is churning out... Yech.

what she said, from the rememberence... We are Jade Falcon, great among the Clans... We are warriors that fight with the strength of the falcon's claw and ascend to the heavens on the wings of the same. We remember with the clarity of falcon sight the words of Kerensky... Through the smoke of time he speaks to us, his chosen, and urges us onward with the promise of Eden. We will retake what is ours by right, that Shining jewel, Terra!

Clan Wolf is Clan Wolf. Clan Jade bird-shit is Clan Jade bird-shit. I don't care. Either way, you need to get your facts straight. Might I suggest wikipedia?

hmmm it must be before your time then bc after the invasion stop the ilkhan knew that the clans wanted to go back and continue the invasion but threw some means he had jade falcon and wolf fight in the end wolf formed two wolf in exile and wolf the wolf were week anough and absorbed into JF but somewhat seperate called Jade wolf this didnt last long after a review they denied them but then wolf ask for a trial and they won there new name as Clan wolf you need to get you facts strait
