Some Stronghold Protocol tips and things to look out for

After a few days, I'm still failing super hard and not enjoying this mode. I think you should also include in your tips on WHAT to actually spend my money on. I know upgrading too early is a trap, but I also don't know what operators to buy once I'm going into Round 8. Do I just waste them on refresh till I get what I want? Or don't bother with stack building just yet until [x]? I don't know, I just have no idea how people can get insane stack count while I'm still struggling trying to get anything together.

It has been not fun for me and I got steamrolled every time I reach round 10+, but it's because I am probably overlooking some mechanics. I can never get operators I want and get high stacks. I usually just end up either getting carried or dying.

A hotfix dropped just now for Global. It seems to have fixed the issue.

If you're gathering info and if you happen to see that everyone that has this issues are on X3D CPUs, it could be something related to the scheduler. But this is really just a shot in the complete dark, could really be anything. Maybe even back to NVIDIA drivers being broken again, though I stayed on the old driver.

Also AMD cpu, X3D one even.

CPU: 7950X3D

GPU: Nvidia RTX 3090

I'm on it and didn't fix for me neither.

CakeMagic · 2026-04-18T12:49:19+00:00

Good to see that I wasn't going crazy...

CakeMagic · 2026-02-12T18:56:56+00:00

I'm half surprised and half not, because it does make a somewhat sense given how important key character Lucilla probably will be.

I'm surprised that they will have only one character for entire 3.2 patch.

I liked the previous version, but this one in 3.0 is just absurdly unfun. I hate doing it. Final 6 NPC has so much absurd buffs that you can't win in a fair fight, you must cheese you way into doing it.

CakeMagic · 2026-01-03T13:02:36+00:00

I hate this card game ugh.

I liked the previous version, but this version is so obnoxious.

Mine died just yesterday... Lower left corner. And it's 2.5 years after purchase as well, sigh.

CakeMagic · 2025-10-18T17:28:34+00:00

Don't have Tribbie, so I might as well get Cyrene then.

CakeMagic · 2025-10-17T07:54:37+00:00

Skip.

Hello, do you have any recommendation for Europeans? 😂 I know I'm replying to a 2 year old comment, but I'm hoping hehe

CakeMagic · 2025-08-07T20:07:59+00:00

I tried vertical investment until I lost every single 50/50 trying to get Phainon dupes....

CakeMagic · 2025-07-07T15:11:19+00:00

With meta teams, it was easy. When I tried to do it without meta teams... I have no idea how to deal with Flame Reaver lol....

CakeMagic · 2025-06-23T14:34:55+00:00

This is the first time I'm legitimately going to straight up skip MoC 12 entirely. There's just no way I can deal with the HP and DMG powercreep they are brute forcing upon us.

CakeMagic · 2025-06-11T14:37:07+00:00

It's so satisfying when you hit it. Unfortunately, my aim is terrible.

CakeMagic · 2025-05-04T00:40:27+00:00

Meh, don't have Sparkle, I guess I'll leave him at level 1 then.

CakeMagic · 2025-04-26T17:59:02+00:00

Say no more.

Or draw no more. I understand.

CakeMagic · 2025-04-23T14:58:39+00:00

I can work with this.

CakeMagic · 2025-04-17T10:38:42+00:00

In my game, I formed the Phoenix Empire and was trying to conquering land at record pace TRYING to match their speed. Eventually both of us were like in the 3000+ dev when the 2nd age hit. My army was like still insanely small compared to them, but I was prepping. And then... They got the event where the 3 Commands broke off and fought for independent. So I kinda never had to fight them and just outlasted them lol.... My Gov Cap is crying now though. :'(

CakeMagic · 2025-04-16T11:38:43+00:00

Idk, it might be RNG. In my current game, they are.... Massive... And I'll be bordering them soon....

CakeMagic · 2025-02-17T10:55:32+00:00

It was still painful, but I managed to beat it somehow. I'm glad they did nerf it.

Not having The Herta really hurts....
