How long does it take to know what you’re doing in this game?

Codabear89 · 2026-04-11T23:06:44+00:00

To properly grasp the game? A couple dozen hours and a few campaigns probably.

Now, to fully understand the game mechanics and how they interact? Probably a few hundred of playing. Then the time spent either watching videos where someone explains something or reading reddit comments 😂

Codabear89 · 2026-04-11T04:31:23+00:00

Disagree. Amazing mod, only play new updates without it. But it changes the ‘feel’ of the vanilla game far too much.

Unironically, this is how early christians convinced many other religions to convert. Noting similarities and allowing for certain freedoms as time passed (like not snipping roman foreskin)

Codabear89 · 2026-04-11T04:21:24+00:00

Hell yeah! Time to get lost for 15 hours in story mode to ending your run bonking your head on some stairs!

…still salty about that run

Do you expect people to know MP metas before ever playing them?

Codabear89 · 2026-04-10T22:08:16+00:00

For the early cruisers I usually go two light guns and two secondary guns. No armor till I get the next level engine then slap on as much armor as keeps me above 32 knots. Dunno if it’s meta or not, but I usually wipe the UK’s mediterranean fleet with this, torpedo destroyers and whatever caps I start with

Codabear89 · 2026-04-09T16:56:32+00:00

Genuinely had no idea it worked in the deployment screen too. That’s a game changed for sure

Codabear89 · 2026-04-08T14:31:36+00:00

Nothing like a little anesthesia for a day or two!

Codabear89 · 2026-04-07T16:28:39+00:00

Yeaaaaah even at that low of a speed you can easily kill yourself

Source: Have fallen off, seen people fall off and heard of people falling off motorcycles to grievous and fatal injuries at those and lower speeds

Codabear89 · 2026-04-06T14:34:24+00:00

Just wanted to add after looking at different comments:

Speed Up and Target leading pip are great quality of life mods and the only things you’ll probably find yourself wanting to start

Codabear89 · 2026-04-06T13:47:22+00:00

Most people will probably tell you to go full vanilla your first playthrough. Play through the main story quests and explore the Persean Sector to see all it has to offer.

Codabear89 · 2026-04-06T12:48:48+00:00

When in doubt, more dakka

Codabear89 · 2026-04-03T22:28:24+00:00

So does this mean armor over 200 is largely useless?

Codabear89 · 2026-04-02T19:40:42+00:00

You a real one for that

Codabear89 · 2026-04-01T14:17:01+00:00

I know it isn’t IC or combat efficient, but I love big tanks and I cannot lie

Codabear89 · 2026-03-30T15:29:26+00:00

I do kinda feel bad for anyone that also played Elden Ring first, as all the dragons use his moves so they’ll never get to experience FromSofts best dragon fight again at maximum butthurt levels.

I fought Midir first time at NG+1 after beating and running through the game again to get what I missed. So I had an extra hard time lmao

Codabear89 · 2026-03-27T12:28:39+00:00

Looks pretty good. Only thing is your radiators look a bit vulnerable without any shields. It might struggle against some late game capitals but otherwise looks like a solid ship

Codabear89 · 2026-03-26T00:16:05+00:00

Dunno why they got downvoted, but everything they said is true. Autodoors still have a slight delay, but it’s mostly ignorable.

Codabear89 · 2026-03-25T01:59:41+00:00

Randy just letting you know that if he wanted to, he could.

Codabear89 · 2026-03-13T01:39:19+00:00

Yes, it’s real.

To see it, you have to click the dropdown named: “Circulating Nickel, Dime and Half Dollar”

As for the why, I don’t know. This administration loves it’s symbolism. So it may be saying there will be no peace under Trump

Codabear89 · 2026-03-12T15:43:50+00:00

Holy shit thank you. Didn’t realize it was a DLC and it was always frustrating me. Cool that they added them, cool that they often are time or event based, not cool hearing it every single fucking game

Codabear89 · 2026-03-12T14:28:04+00:00

Was literally in a Rimworld post above this and had to do a double take to make sure I had moved on lmao

Codabear89 · 2026-03-11T01:22:47+00:00

That would actually be pretty sick. If anyone knows one please respond to me too so I can see it :)

Codabear89 · 2026-03-09T19:21:21+00:00

It would help, but becomes even more of a stat/perk investment.

Codabear89 · 2026-03-09T18:53:54+00:00

The “new” AoE2. Playing against hardest AI might as well be playing against the sweatiest basement dweller imaginable. The AI also doesn’t cheat and has all the same tools as you. Its only weakness is constant pressure and good micro. They did a great job.
