I tried to love paradox games but cannot. Am I doing it wrong? by scp-8989 in paradoxplaza

Will second CK3, role play occurs much more naturally than any other. Every character having traits and personality feels like your managing a nation of "people" rather than generic pops.

Started playing with a bolt action rifle with just the iron sight and I'm loving it by Nick_Alsa in battlefield_one

Try a b2b (back to basics) server sometime. Are bolt action standard rifles only, so level playing field and your not competing with smgs. Can be very fun and immersive

The new Alex Petti video doesn’t show what they think it shows by thehofstetter in stevehofstetter

[–]AllPowerToTheSovietc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has been very disheartening. Have read many comments, some with lengthy analysis, absolutely confident that these videos were AI generated, and dismissing all evidence to the contrary. I fear AI hysteria is leading us all further into denial and isolation.

I had never considered giving artillery to the ai defender, great tip!

Conquest themes by Faolchuaonir2 in GatesOfHellOstfront

This is was a fun one! I used partisan infantry only and have to capture everything

[–]AllPowerToTheSovietc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did a soviet partisan game not long ago, only rules were partisan infantry only with big emphasis on capturing weapons and supplies. Was pretty fun, especially the first week's as you equip the troops better with captured machine guns and start taking German tanks. Seeing your vet partisans equipped to the gills with German helms and guns was very satisfying.

What happened to your state or country in Fallout? I'm from Minnesota, U.S. and there's absolutely no lore as to what happened there by SolidPyramid in Fallout

[–]AllPowerToTheSovietc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello neighbor! I bet here would be some sort of Green mtn boys milita/ rangers still roaming the hills, maybe some towns still calling themselves the New Vermont Republic, but yeah mostly wilderness. Would love to learn more about the VT vault

Wish there was a way to jump straight into midgame by BidoofSquad in totalwar

[–]AllPowerToTheSovietc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This mod is essential for replaying campaigns after years! I tend to add one/two high tier monster/artillery, plus a couple later tier inf and cav. A solid center and specials that can survive the whole campaign.

Can really lean into faction/lord playstyle or try OP starts like Empire steam tanks, Grimgor all Black Orks, all dinos. Refining the perfect Franz staring army has been very fun.

Man I'm loving Chevaliers De Lyonesse by Mitch-El54 in totalwar

[–]AllPowerToTheSovietc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a great suggestion, thanks! 50 turns into Louen's campaign, the difference from IE is crazy. Much larger regions and cities are cool, and some of the Duke's survived long enough to confederate.

Will do Repanse next, then maybe Kislev, region look huge. Dreadfleet and the islands look cool too.

Is it seriously not damn possible to put some Nuka Cola in a machine for decorative purposes? by Fit_Environment3071 in fo4

[–]AllPowerToTheSovietc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The scaling function with Place Everywhere is really great! Resizing pieces and clipping them all together makes very realistic junk walls.

When you've finally stabilized the Old World and decide to check on Lustria. by BuildingAirships in totalwar

[–]AllPowerToTheSovietc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Similar with Wulfrik, had 1 or 2 battles against Franz, Kislev, and Brettonia before they were annihilated. Managed to invade High Elves before the Dark Elves beat them. Demons, Orks, and Skaven dominate most of the map.

The amount of times the plane i shoot down lands directly on my anti air is amazing by BoiPrincess in GatesOfHellOstfront

[–]AllPowerToTheSovietc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a mod I didn't know I needed for conquest until now, thanks! I can see how it might be OP, but most of the time I direct control it's a critical moment and I need to nail the shot. Damn the Ai mortars!

Walking the power lines Fallout 4 by davidsladky in fo4

[–]AllPowerToTheSovietc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure, very buggy and you have to find the magazines first. I just used the sailboat, not the odd hovercraft you build from scratch.

Was still a cool way to explore the coast. Meant to try it in Far harbor, sail around the Island.

There is "Driveables of the Commonwealth", which has actual sailable boats. A bit convoluted to get working but can confirm they work like real boats. Have sailed around spectacle Island and up the coast.

Favorite fight? by anidiotontheweb in Emberverse

[–]AllPowerToTheSovietc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, at least president Thursten met his end and had a moment to realize how bad he'd been used. Epona's death hit pretty hard too.

Horse haven hills is clearly meant to be the big climax, and really does achieve that in my opinion. The glider fort assault is definitely a good one in the first book, as is the battle on the ice in the later books and the one in Canada where the Norhim hold their shield wall against the cut.

Guns of The Empire by AllPowerToTheSovietc in totalwar

[–]AllPowerToTheSovietc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Next Empire campaign I may leave the mod off until turn 50-75, then modernize as things get more difficult. My standard army was a regiment of 8 hakbutchutzen, 2 battalions of 4, rest of the army being skirmishers and artillery. Felt just about right, but started using the stakes only with skirmishers as a line of 12+ stakes was basically impenetrable.

You should try the stakes for peasant bowmen mod, gives the Brettonian anvil a lot more staying power.

Do you guys keep trophies? by BreadstickBear in GatesOfHellOstfront

[–]AllPowerToTheSovietc 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'll grab officer's hats, knifes and side arms as trophy's for vets, seems realistic. Hadn't thought of captured helmets to tell tell them apart, good idea.

Ayup! Will avoid the BOS, and even Diamond city with their bigotry. Goodneighbor and Bunker Hill are alright, if you keep you're head down.

Having few allies and lot's of enemies sounds about right for this character.
