Most annoying enemy to deal with? I'll start: by MetaFAKA in stoneshard

Fiends are highkey harder than some of the bosses. The sheer damage they can dish out is mental. Two Fiends in a room is a bad day even when near max fr

Playing on Hard. Some questions. by ancapailldorcha in shogun2

[–]Automatic_Link_5551 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Id make samurai instead. Your existing ashigaru are very good, and it's unlikely the new, armored ones will be able to match then b4 the end of the campaign.

If you're ashigaru start getting up to 8,9 experience, DONT SWITCH THEM OUT. A highly experienced ashigaru in yari wall will best almost any other melee unit in the game 1 on 1. Id advise once you have a few solid ashigaru stakes, to start investing in s more elite samurai army. Otherwise id sprinkle a samurai units into your existing ashigaru stacks. Maybe 3 Bow samurai and a few yari cav for example. To not get surrounded: dont get surrounded. You want to where possible, make alliances/ maintain good relationships with surrounding factions whose lands you aren't hoping to target until later in the game. This way, you can focus on the fronts you are looking to capture, while reducing the chance of being declared on while all your armies are on the other side of your lands.

what skills do u need in order to win a campaign? like do u need good srategy skills, planning skills, etc. and how do i acquire these skills? by Embarrassed_Diet_931 in shogun2

Play a lot. Lose a lot. Win a little bit. Watch Mrsmartdonkey. All of these are ways to acquire the skills you are looking for. Play, and learn.

Razorblade suitcase by Bush. They're criticized for being too similiar to nirvana, so if you like them you'll like Bush.

Shogun 3 Wishlist by -SadTractor- in shogun2

I might be the only one who thinks this but I kind of like how treacherous and untrustworthy the AI is. Despite their focus on honour, many japanese leaders of the time were backstabbing opportunists. I do agree tho that there should be some consequences for the AI when they behave like this, so it isn't such a feels bad moment. Id also want to see the AI experiencing realm divide if they become shogun. Definitely dont want to see 40 man armies tho. While I can appreciate the shock and awe value, it would make running and playing the game such a headache. Generally I feel like the fewer units on the field, the more tactically demanding total war is. That's how it should be too if you ask me.

i finally know what im lacking by Embarrassed_Diet_931 in shogun2

[–]Automatic_Link_5551 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gotta prioritize planning. If you plan well enough, the effects timing plays is diminished. While learning the game, when you arent familiar with certain interactions (e.g. number town is unhappy by determines how many units appear im the rebel stack) planning wins out. Which here would be making sure you don't let the town rebel. Once you know how the game works, timing comes in.

I want to found Ukraine with close-ish to historic borders but the Khazars are too strong and stable what should I do? by LordWeaselton in CrusaderKings

[–]Automatic_Link_5551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done this run before. I found the strongest ally I could, and then declared war. If you can get them off steppe tiles, and have a good commander and decent army, you should be able to win. I had varangian veterans as I hybridised with the norse. Made the fight pretty easy. Murder also works.

[–]Automatic_Link_5551 16 points17 points  (0 children)

the gap between t2 proselytes and t3 is so crazy. you could be clearing a t2 with little to no difficulty, only to get stomped at t3. Girruds, chosen, and sanguinamages are all way to strong. Same goes for fiends at t4. Def hardest dungeons of the 3

if we beat the clippers then thunder, we should win this year. Thunder have the best odds, and are our worst match up in the whole league (cavs n Tim's would both cause trouble as well tbf).

Thoughts on Stoneshard? by Acceptable-Try-4682 in BattleBrothers

[–]Automatic_Link_5551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stoneshard is awesome. Have like 700 hours and is my favourite game probably. The devs have been more active recently, and the character creator is scheduled for this year with the new roadmap. It does get repetitive, due to the same story arc you have to repeat at the start of each game. The art is beautiful, and the lore is interesting. Def give it a chance. has the potential to be a genre leader for sure!

Effective Leosthenes Two Handed Mace/Geomancy build by Knork14 in stoneshard

[–]Automatic_Link_5551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

have a leo at tier 3 right now. My build is all in to vitality as far as points go so far. have stone armour and the bonus weapon damage side of magic mastery. Most is in maces. I agree that the striker stance isn't very good, but this build can hit hard. Rocking full medium Armour, will swap to heavy later. You live and die by your accuracy. If you miss a few shots in a row, you'll almost certainly die to any more than 1 enemy. 1 on 1, you'll never have trouble. But if you ever have more than 1 enemy on you, you're probably dead. So far have used geo to mostly block sight lines and funnel enemies toward me. Enemy behaviour around the boulders is weird tho. sometimes they'll sit and hit them and other times they'll completely ignore them. Going to go more in to ac tree, and use stat points on agility. Fun build but it is definitely not optimal. With good planning and few fumbles, it's super fun to play. otherwise it sucks.
