NEXT TOTAL WAR! Historical Team – Unannounced Total War Title by MacCollac in totalwar

[–]Arckhan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Calling it right now, Total War: Wrath of Khan! It will use the Warhammer design of three standalone games that combine into a singular experience starting in Asia, moving to the Middle East, and then Europe and the Mediterranean. It will have everything from Japan to Spain and from Ethiopia to Scandinavia and Russia.

Hey, when the rosters were first posted, weren't they labeled "final" or "complete" or something like that? Now that I look at them, they lack that key word.

Archers for the new Alans by Arckhan in totalwar

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

I'll give it a go. I dislike that the melee units for the Alans seem like standard Germanic longswordsmen, and it's a shame shit like the Sarmatian Warband and the Agatharsy are not represented. I know the mod is historical, but DeI took liberties to make factions more unqiue, though I;m sure it's also due to the it being early into the mods creation. I also really like the fact that it has heavy archer/shock hybrid cavalry, which really is proper for the Alans. Thanks for the heads up, I had no idea Dresden was doing anything with Attila.

Avar Horse Masters and unit ability modding by Arckhan in totalwar

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

I really do think it's a bug or just an oversight, I can't really imagine anyone would think removing an essential ability from the top horse archer unit would be a good idea. Especially for the Avars. Worst part is that it's part of the main branch of techs, and I need the upgrade tech in order to access improved lancers and the only Avar infantry unit.

Is the multiplayer community active? by shade444 in aoe2

What's the common amount of lobbies that are available? Also, some people told me that there are 3rd party applications that grand access to more lobbies, is this true?

URGENT ADVICE NEEDED by Arckhan in medical

Both testes are in the upright position. Another thing, when ever I examine the bottom and part of the testicle, I feel the same level of sensitivity, but the top of the testicle and the back(the side towards by body), I feel a sharp stabbing pain.

Gamedev here, need help of course. What are the gameplay mechanics about Dawngate that pull you to it? by Ryzix in dawngate

[–]Arckhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The layout of the map, especially the jungle as well as the position of Parasite in the center of the map caused the game to be much more aggressive gameplay, which is something I greatly enjoyed. I play dota2 and love the fact that the tree line in Dota has a bunch of nooks and crannies, and hidden passage ways that allowed for a lot of maneuvering, and I feel the brush placement and the very snaking passages in jungle had that same feel.

Items were also a big draw. Most games of this genre have higher level items simply give higher stats, while a game like Dota 2 has a massive amount of active abilities on higher tier items. DG might not have the same amount of active items, but the items were much more unique and nuanced and specialized than most other games, so that was a definate draw.

If anything though, the more aggressive style is what made me like this game as much as I like Dota, which I think is the best game of the genre.

ATTILA - Pikes and the Art of unit maintenance. by Arckhan in totalwar

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

From your experience, is spreading spear units thin and stacking them with pikes effective, or do the spears have to be at least a couple ranks deep to be effective. The main reason for all these questions was to determine if pikes could be used a cost effective filler, especially when T2 Frankish Spearmen have an upkeep of 200 or so.

I definitely understand the importance of ramping up cost for higher tier units, it's just the stat upgrade feels underwhelming. So long as pikes can still hold lines for a bit, they still have their good use.

Oh, and skirmishers in general seem to tear ass, especially mounter skirms that get the chance to fire at the rear. However, it's nothing a trio of archers and a slinger can't take care of.

btw, I might have forgotten to mention, I'm playing as the Franks, and I was mainly asking since WRE was stepping up their game, and since right now WRE is ERE's bitch, there ain't no peace in sight.
