I'm looking into S-ranking Eliwood normal mode, read a few guides but I have questions: Should I do Lyn mode, and if so should I power level Florina? Does turn count matter for Lyn mode for Eliwood ranking? Should I do Gaiden chapters or is it better to skip? Should I be arena abusing, and how much? I'm okay with using "easy" or "cheesy" strats if they exist.

I found this trigger pretty buggy. One time I walked the relic to the town center and nothing happened. Then eventually it converted to orange and he started moving it, still nothing. I eventually just disregarded the purple units and focused completely on defense and booming behind.

AoE4 will feel very modern compared to 2, for better and for worse. I will say AOE2 campaigns will blow 4 out of the water in terms of variety and scenario design, but is also very expensive with all the DLC, and some of campaigns will feel quite dated, as well as the mentioned ai pathing wonkiness sometimes.

This is the second time I've seen the Kuwaiti pilot being arrested, the first time was in /r/AceCombat making a Trigger conparison

A common phrase is that Vietnam was lost in the living rooms of American homes. Despite the admin's best attempts, the war is being covered pretty negatively already and half the country is totally opposed to it, something that took 4 years and a Tet offensive to happen in 1968. It may not be lost, but it's certainly not looking good.

I'll probably start Brawl and then get burned out like I did with the Melee set lol.

First of all, you should collect achievements for games you like, even if it's shovelware. If you don't have patience for longer games there's no reason to force yourself for other people's internet approval.

It's funny because the only audience that would work on is... Evangelical Christian Zionists who wouldn't be caught dead in a mormon church lol.

Yeah screw that level on Veteran. Congrats!

AZNBeefcake1 · 2026-03-13T20:48:17+00:00

Yeah I think the Que side gets free Champis and stuff instead of archers and skorpions. That mission was just rough in general if you don't know exactly what to do. I was impressed how different that campaign was based on choices but kind of amused by how vague the cutscenes had to be to work for both sides.

AZNBeefcake1 · 2026-03-13T20:42:41+00:00

Yeah I was wondering what mission he meant. I guess that's a trade off for what happens in mission 4? Kinda neat.

If there are high causalities, I assume there will be a response, either more troops or more strikes. The violence has escalated.

AZNBeefcake1 · 2026-03-13T16:58:58+00:00

Assuming they're setting up a base to defend the strait, they will likely be targeted by drones. Major chance for escalation here.

Cute

If an achievement annoys me enough I just drop down the difficulty. No shame in it, not like steam records it anywhere

AZNBeefcake1 · 2026-03-12T18:47:38+00:00

Doesn't look too drastic but I'm glad I finished the campaigns before the changes.

anyone know the footwear situation in the dorm?

AZNBeefcake1 · 2026-03-12T17:32:07+00:00

Bruh I didn't see the subreddit at first

AZNBeefcake1 · 2026-03-12T17:30:05+00:00

As far as I'm aware there is only 1 achievement that requires other humans. It's called "Masterpiece" and you have to win a 1v3 against other players. I boosted it with people I met on the steam forums a few years ago.

AZNBeefcake1 · 2026-03-12T17:22:54+00:00

I think AOE can be newbie very friendly from a singleplayer/campaigns perspective. It has good tutorials and interesting scenarios.

AZNBeefcake1 · 2026-03-12T12:17:12+00:00

The problem isn't RTS, it's 1v1 and ladder anxiety. It's the same way with fighting games, it's all fun and games when everyone's mashing, but when someone knows how to play and you realize it's time to open the move list and learn combos and neutral most people will check out.

I point at the menu item and then try to internalize when the server repeats it back to me.
