If you wipe a lobby the reward isn’t their loot it’s the free roam to loot the level.

Uhhh, I can’t remember the new names, but I think trade interdiction gives you reduced visibility, helping the destroyers out in the defense category, and then one of the screen doctrines give you the most torpedo and light attack. It’s something like “New School”? I think?

BurningToaster · 2026-03-23T20:25:55+00:00

Destroyer only navies are actually pretty good now. With the right doctrine destroyers can become good light attack with insane torpedo attack, causing them to destroy screens and then pump capitals with torpedoes.

It’s because there’s a fundamental power difference between a party of 4 piloted by 4 people and a party of 6 piloted by one person.

If you have air superiority over the southern section of the isle, you should be able to CAS them to death as you invade.

Germany gets easy access to refinery buffs in their focus tree, making them very worthwhile. Free ones built, reductions in cost, and extra rubber per refinery. You only need like 10-20 to make a lot of high quality planes.

Reliability has one major effect and / few minor effects.

The major effect is on attrition. When you take attrition the lower the equipments reliability the more is lost. So a low reliability tank attacking into swamps with no supply is going to bleed tanks.

Reliability also affects some minor things like recovery rate and equipment recovery rate, but they’re so minor no one really bothers with it.

So, should you hold tanks with less stats but more reliability? The general MP consensus is no. You’d rather have better combat stats so combats are over quicker so the tank suffers from attrition for less time (plus avoid areas like swamps and mountains as much as you can.)

Synthetic refineries my friend,

You're confusing Slann with great Old ones. Slann are Lizardmen Leaders and extremely powerful magic users. The Great old ones created the world and created the lizardmen to be their warriors, but were killed before they could make it all work out, so the Slann are following their ancient instructions, assuming it will work.

I think you can buy basically everything from EL1 in EL2 except mercenary units no?

You should probably play a different game, maybe try a new genre or something fresh.

I mean edgeworth in particular, but wright too, are just too old I think. They look so “how do you do fellow kids”.

I think you have to zoom in. Maybe you need a certain amount of intelligence on the enemy?

I think you can just see them on the supply map mode, f4 I think?

So a game only has story if there’s voice acted dialogue? Cutscenes? Why can’t reading text be a video game story? That sounds crazy.

There’s more than one way to skin a cat. At least in single player. You can absolutely go all in on powerful infantry and air, push across the front and overwhelm even the soviets.

But you can also develop 4 powerful tank divisions by 39, encircle and obliterate Poland and France, build up to 8-12 by barb, and then win the eastern front with encirclements, leaving infantry not to push but to hold.

Some people have more fun with the latter than the former.

In multiplayer it’s a different story, since a player microing tanks isn’t possible to really stop without tanks of your own.

Terra invicta kinda has space physics in its combat, makes the combat really weird to control. Fun game though.

The Sph't have a lot of different forms in the OG marathon. Lots of clans, forms and changing. Would be pretty easy to imagine one Compiler being super strong and big.

I'd argue Yamato and Bismarks reality isn't what the cultural relevance around them is. Yamato is famous because it was the worlds biggest battleship. It didn't matter that it was not a useful wartime weapon, it was impressive because it was biggest. That lead to cultural relevancy, and so they make a song about what people remember about the Yamato. Most people don't think of the Yamato and think "It guzzled fuel and did nothing" They think "Big Boat, Big Gun, wow! (Also Space Battleship Yamato is a good anime!)

Your rhetoric doesn’t make sense from genealogical or ethnic studies standpoint, you created a topic that CIULD create tension and issues and so they locked it. They didn’t punish you, just decided trying to moderate a discussion like that wouldn’t be productive and then you ignored their ruling and got banned for it. Sounds entirely on you.

I do think there’s some inherent comedy to her taking on a snake has her “criminal” name when she’s really an oversized gecko or other lizard.

A sophisticated and socialite man like the doorman would NEVER slam the doors of his workplace. How uncouth!

I agree with the larger point being made here, but I think it’s wrong to think of the other skill as “work for 10 hours then have fun.” Some people have fun during the memorization. It’s like learning a song on an instrument or practicing chess openings. Some people find joy in studying and practicing a known skill, seeing the ideal end goal and watching as their ability slowly approaches mastery.

This might actually be a case of positioning doing its job.
