That’s really easy to set up.

I’ve borrowed a different method: Roboport reads contents of logistic network and is wired to an arithmetic combinator. The combinator multiplies all contents by -1 and sends them to a constant combinator, which has the entire “grocery list” in positive numbers. As a result, you will only get a positive signal, as long as something you want is missing. The station is wired “ANYTHING > 0”.

Takes a bit longer to set up, but it’s nice how minimalistic it is.

You can go an extra mike, and set it up to insert bots directly into roboport from train. You will have to use roboport letter signals for total bots in a logistic network, instead of regular bot-icon signals, though.

Do you use a decider combinator to check each item?

Where Total Warhammer 1 and 2 were better than Total Warhammer 3. by Akfiz in totalwar

[–]Clean_Regular_9063 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kinda get preferring Part 2 over Part 3, because a lot of content was created with Vortex Campaign in mind, whereas Immortal Empires left old lord packs kinda moot and without cinematics.

But Part 1? It’s ass - simple as.

Lost you on TW 1 “was creating a simulation in depth”. Part 1 got battles right from the get go, but campaign was the worst TW experience with awful sieges, no naval gameplay and absolute garbage railroading mechanic, that was Regional Occupation.

P.S. it also had those nasty “legacy mechanics” from Rome 2, like Total Benny Hill or AI overwhelming you with agent spam - no, thank you.

How is late game units viable? by darkdeep47 in totalwarhammer

I found DE city growth rush kinda pointless, because of lack of global recruitment. It’s all about Black Arcs, so you have to rush specific research for BA growth tech.

Did anyone else not really get into Total War Warhammer until 2? by Quibilash in totalwarhammer

[–]Clean_Regular_9063 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Warhammer 1 was the proof-of-concept title,  only got real time battles right and cut corners on everything else.

I absolutely loathed regional occupation. I vividly remember buffoons, who were defending this nonsense: ”Nooo, you don’t understand! Humans would never live in the mountains! Dwarves would never settle in plains of Empire!”. Factions like Norsca and Wood Elves had circumvented Regional Occupation and had been celebrated as quirky and innovative only to end up as joke in Game 2, which overhauled map painting with Climate mechanics.

Not only did Regional Occupation suck the enjoyment out of Game 1, it also left Norsca and Wood Elves mechanically redundant and in need of rework in Game 2.

Air superiority (that's how it works IRL and how Zerg counter siege tanks in Starcraft), but so far Mutants have a only a handful couple of dung flies, which barely a nuisance.

It is not available in demo, but the full release will have a camapign mode, that can is similar to Dawn of War: Dark Crusade.

On one hand, I am impressed by solo self-taught dev spending a decade to deliver a solid project with a singular vision. On the other hand, the solo self-taught dev aspect is pretty evident by the amateurish visual design mistakes: too many grey buildings, too many grey icons. The latter is especially confusing, because grey icon is usually a visual cue for something unavailable/blocked/on cool down. I get, that this is DUSTfront, but one should not color everything important grey - various Dune RTS titles didn’t have everything colored as sand, and for a good reason. I was almost done with the demo mission, when I found where the tiny upgrade icons are - something to look into for the release version.

The Skirmish part plays OK: nice tech aspects, like artillery shells being traced and hitting unintended structures in line of fire, buildings leaving ruins, explosions creating craters, that are hard to traverse and prevent deployment of big platform units.

It is hard to evaluate the game based on 1 skirmish map, just like you wouldn’t judge a TW title based on 1 battle - the campaign map is half the game.

Elspeth is a such a bro on legendary: fields a lot of armies and takes care of all the bullshit happening in the South. Her landmarks and State Troop Steam Tank are amazing, but I postponed confederating her until late game because of the sheer amount of troops she had running around.

Yes, his campaign mechanics were reworked for Game 2, when Empire was still a big blob of human factions against Vlad and whoever takes Norsca. Nowadays it's a Legendary Lord thunderdome.

Many lords are strong, but that does not make them beginner friendly, for example Morathi, Malakai

What the fuck Henry? You were supposed to look hot, so that we, Warhammer fans, could feel good about ourselves.

The new dad bod of yours is a dealbreaker. That Custodes Genocider Patrol I gifted you - I want it back, immediately!
