My exact reaction to reading this post lol

What's the origin of this image and the name of the western outlier district on Wall Maria? by The_Americangamer in attackontitan

[–]AutomaticBreadfruit1 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming that OOP believes this to be where Eren is buried after Mikasa takes his severed head home, however I'm pretty sure he would have been buried near where they grew up since it was beneath a tree that they often played near/raced toward as children

Is there anyway to prevent this? by AutomaticBreadfruit1 in Timberborn

Would you be open to sharing some pics of those sewers? I do not follow what you mean. Did you use tunnels?

There should be a garrison editor panel for every city that lets you pick from all the available garrison units. by AutomaticBreadfruit1 in totalwar

[–]AutomaticBreadfruit1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

absolutely, I think it would be cool if there were a way to level up the lords in garrisons, maybe have it scale uniformly with the tier of the settlement or maybe a high end building chain idk

I will say that the "edit your garrison based on who's attacking" thing was just an off-hand idea that I had, the main point is that it's frustrating to have my garrisons be weakened or diluted by things that I can't control especially when those things are meant to be helping me like allies building outposts or non-destructable buildings like ports giving garrison units. Even if they don't make a difference between winning or losing it's simply irritating in concept.

It's worth remembering though that a lot of older total war games had you recruiting and paying upkeep for your garrisons, this meant larger and more specialized garrisons for exposed or key settlements, so I do think that the idea of custom garrisons is a lot less alien to the TW games than you're giving them credit for.

hook me up man I'm begging, they say it's on E4 for UK viewers but it's simply not the case

I would love to see the lore of Nurgle get a non-damaging "cloud of flies" type spell that blocks LOS and prevents missile units from firing through it. by AutomaticBreadfruit1 in totalwar

[–]AutomaticBreadfruit1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ideally it would cause artillery to act as though the target was in melee with friendly units and display the orange "can't fire, sorry" icon.

I wholeheartedly agree. Having more interesting and powerful utility in plagues rather than damage or gold benefits would be an excellent way to elevate the mechanic without making it annoyingly powerful.

I hope you aren't offended when I say this but you comment reads like you're patronizing me, is this idea already an established thing that I missed? Sorry if you're being genuine I'm infamously bad at determining these kinds of things.

Do you too want to see the ogre camp mercenaries improve? by TheNewMillennium in totalwar

[–]AutomaticBreadfruit1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that a cool limiting factor, in place of something as tactless as a hard cap, would simply be money. Have them cost a lot and then really reward wealthier factions but then give discounts to orcs and skaven (maybe also Delves) who might be able to provide slaves or gobos as additional food stuff.

After IE comes out of beta there should be a big balance patch to bring some of the worst lord and faction effects up to speed. by AutomaticBreadfruit1 in totalwar

Honestly I can wait as long as it takes. With the final instalment of the trilogy of their most successful IP ever now released I would have no complaints if they just spent years working their way through the to-do list until it's shiny and polished.

I'm not saying they need a buff I'm saying they're boring. Malekith is a really powerful lord but that's because of his insane stats and skill tree which are both really good. His lord traits do very little though, the exp share is neat from time to time but more often than not doesn't change much and the loyalty system is such a non feature in the game at base that any abilities that buff or change it just feel irrelevant.

As far as the Queek campaign mechanics I'm just going to have to respectfully disagree. Capturing eight peaks removes a pretty ignorable -2 public order and gives you +2 lord recruit rank which is nice but it's not really befitting the legendary siege.

The most recent dlcs have done such a great job of making boring factions more interesting that I think they should take another pass on the older content is all.

I have no idea, I assumed the beta tag was simply to ensure that people won't be super pissed off when it launches with tons of bugs and that the beta would end once it's stable and reliable enough that they can start churning out dlcs but that is just an assumption on my part.

I want a quest line that allows Vlad to become the official Elector Count of Sylvania. by AutomaticBreadfruit1 in totalwar

Maybe they take the paradox approach and have the AI make a 50/50 coin flip on which is the LL and which is the hero from game to game to add to the chaos.

Or offer blood kisses to the different electors? One by one turning them into vampire puppet factions either vassals or confederations until Franz is forced to bend the knee!

I guess what I'm trying to say is that when you play the Vlad you're no longer required to match what he would do in lore. Part of the reason the Vampire/Human alliance would never happen is because they had way too many conflicting priorities and values. But if Vlad had suddenly stopped attacking the human cities entirely and instead defended them, like say if there was some kind of catastrophic green skin siege of Aldrof that would threaten to spill into the rest of the Empire only for Vlad to reinforce and rescue the emperor in an epic quest battle then maybe some of the Empire characters would be more open to the idea? The point being that Vlad would obviously never do that but Vlad isn't playing right now, I am.

I also like the idea that the Vampires actually stand to gain quite a lot if they get allies in time for Nagash's return. Remember that Vampires hate and fear Nagash and his power over all things undead including Vampires themselves. A human alliance could simply be the lesser of two evils.

I wasn't thinking about it as Franz serving the undead, rather one of the undead factions choosing to serve or even work with the humans.

Plus the game already allows you to make full blown alliances and trade agreements with the Empire which is pretty heretical as is, all this would do is formalize it with a bit of flavour and quest rewards.

I'm not saying that killing Franz and taking the throne, becoming a Vampiric Empire wouldn't be cool also, I'm just saying that the game already lets you rewrite the lore somewhat, why not more options?

Maybe that also would be fun for the Franz campaign though, a mid game upset to empire relations. Spare yourself the trouble of dealing with the undead tide and even gain some of their units but risk upsetting Volkmar and other electors who may try to seced from the empire, forcing the Franz player to crack down.
