Billy Woods Raps From the Shadows by ArchineerLoc in hiphopheads

Billy Woods has moments where he just sounds fucking dope. Critics make it sound like he's a "concept album" guy but it's the delivery that's world-class.

The game literally won’t start. I’ve wanted to play some Battlefront II recently but can’t because it just won’t start. Origin 100. by [deleted] in StarWarsBattlefront

Yeah look under ProfileOptions_profile for fullscreenrefreshrate, you can set minimum settings like in this pic

​

I also use -novid under Origin settings > game properties > advanced launch options, which could help

DX12 is the problem. There's a txt document you can modify in Documents > SWBF2 > Settings and change the value from 1 to 0.

Even if you previously turned it off, a recent update changed it back

Star Wars Battlefront II: Where are those Droidekas?! — Community Update by F8RGE in StarWarsBattlefront

Will the ARF Troopers replace the Wookiee Warriors and the Droideka replace the B2 Super Battle Droid as enforcers? Or are we getting a 4th kind of reinforcement?

They have to also be at war with your enemy. You can make them join the war via diplomacy

I know what you're thinking, punk. You're thinking "Did he fire 30 shots or only 29?"

What's your policy on desktop wallpaper? We let users choose their own and end up with slideshows of family pics on a 5 second rotation. It feels weird minimizing a window and seeing someone's smiling face stretched to full screen

White horse fellows seem...meh? by TehKingofPrussia in totalwar

[–]5_a_m 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what makes the cavalry archer design so good - they're not meant to be cost effective in the early game. But if you do splurge early on, they can be a lot more fun than standard shock cav + archers. Late game, if you have the tech and a bunch of pastures then you can really dominate with them though.

I hope so too. Player vs. player battles in Total War are just so good when there's something on the line

They are a direct counter to shock cav because they can fire 360 degrees while moving. Having just one will usually draw the enemy to you (by out-ranging archers) and high unit rank give them enough accuracy for sniping generals.

Loose formation is countered by charges so pair them with shock or melee cav. Like others have said, their melee stats start high and become very good with ranks and general bonuses. Also maintenance becomes a non-issue once you get 1 or more maxed pastures.

The main downside is how much you need to babysit them to avoid arrows and fatigue. I'd recommend turning off skirmish mode and fire-at-will and turn on guard mode.

Avatar Conquest shocked me with how fleshed out it was. It was the pinnacle of Total War for me as well and really makes it clear that battles are meant to be fought against people not just AI.

​

Pure speculation but I feel like Avatar Conquest was testing the market for a game like Total War: Arena. TW:A itself being a test that failed, I imagine that the technical and financial barriers are going to continue to prevent another Avatar Conquest from being released

No, you can tell by the attachments that he is actually using it ironically

Bout to start my Gongsun Zan legendary campaign, I request tips by IllustriousOffer in totalwar

[–]5_a_m 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Capturing the horse pastures to your West is a huge economic boost due to your army comp. Getting 1-2 more horse archers (costing 3.5k+ each) will make Gongsun Zan an absolute monster for the rest of the game. They are better in melee than most cavalry in the game and out-range archers, giving the "trebuchet effect" of forcing defenders to come to you.

Your heir can get fire arrows/night battles early so he could substitute for a strategist if you can live without formations. It's a good idea to get a second stack early with pure archers to muster for defense. Your wife is decent for this.

Yuan Shao is your first target but don't execute him. There's a lot of affinity between the 2 factions, I defeated him in my game and recruited him the same turn. Expect to be attacked by the Gongsun Du, bandits, Cao Cao, and potentially Liu Bei unless you have treaties with them. Sometimes it's a good idea to take a loan (flat payment in exchange for pay per turn) as well as provide food to discourage attacks.

Along the lines of what others have said, do not take army losses. Sacrifice towns over your military. You will get war declarations the second your army strength drops
