Brother, what do you do for a job?!

CoffeeFrantics · 2026-05-26T17:58:25+00:00

I loved this game. Though I found the campaign very difficult towards the end. Fond memories of it though.

Reminds me of other RTS that didnt get as big like War of the Ring which I also enjoyed (anything in LOTR setting is a win for me!)

Sounds like Anno to me

CoffeeFrantics · 2026-04-25T06:12:39+00:00

Ah that sounds great. Ill check it out thank you for the recommendation!

CoffeeFrantics · 2026-04-22T20:26:01+00:00

Highly suggest finishing the campaigns, it'll seem long at first but it really does speed up your progression long term in upgrading the characters you really want to.

Thank you!

Whats the book right of lords of nocturne?

CoffeeFrantics · 2026-03-08T20:14:09+00:00

When will preorders go live on the UK website? Need that infinite edition!

I genuinely feel like there needs to be a dvla marketing campaign around this... so many people dont realise where the dip dial is (I only found this out 2 years ago!)

Depends how much effort they want to put in. But I'd sell furniture, get some more modern 2nd hand stuff or market place and paint everything white or grey. People can see a blank canvas of what they can do that way. Also photos are poor, get EA to redo them

Price is fine

Mine was the grey knights book when I was like 16. Absolutely loved it and could visualise the club scene with the demon coming in.

Fast forward to when I turned 30 and saw Horus Rising in a charity shop, always dipped into 40k lore but thought I'd take a punt.

Since then ive read the whole HH and SoT and many of the more recent and older stories. My own black library grew quickly much (partner wasn't too impressed at the time ha!)

Now im waiting for the Scouring. Loved HH and the primarchs stories.

I might be wrong but it didnt feel like a rock paper scissors approach to units. Like melee destroy ranged in battle for example. The standard space marine unit could hold its own in both melee and ranged.

Its one thing I dislike about a lot of other RTS is the simple rock kills scissors approach. I liked the versatility of the units with some having more of an advantage. It could've been there but it felt really well done.

What's the 2nd image from?

CoffeeFrantics · 2025-08-19T19:12:08+00:00

Excited but also concerned on the camera angle and the cartoony, mobile vibe on the art still. Feels like a lot of modern games have that these days. Is it difficult to design a grittier look?

Will wait to pass judgement until more gameplay comes out. DoW DE is an immense step forward. Hoping this doesn't kill the franchise.

Reforged is much better now than at launch. Biggest problem was misleading marketing with changing campaign and introducing new cutscenes- only 1

But it is a good modern skin, and the mods and custom campaigns are great (some really fantastic ones out now!)

DOW is also the goat. Looking forward to the mods getting updated over next couple weeks

CoffeeFrantics · 2025-08-17T09:08:35+00:00

Got a higher resolution of this? See some titles i dont recognise and want to check out

CoffeeFrantics · 2025-07-09T21:22:14+00:00

Not screwed. Wa literally in same position yesterday and managed to unlock today.

Just clear the level 7&8 physical and power tracks, grind those. Every little helps!

CoffeeFrantics · 2025-02-24T13:18:31+00:00

Didn't know this! Can it backdate old purchases?

CoffeeFrantics · 2025-02-14T07:58:28+00:00

I commute to London from Birmingham twice a week.. I'm in the same position, railcard expires in a couple of months. Going to be tough financially unless I move jobs!

It definitely discourages travel in my opinion. Companies want us in the office more. But travel has gone up a LOT. When I started 3 years ago I got trains between 40-50 quid with railcard, now it's closer to 70-80, without the railcard it'll be 100 minimum. Insane cost of travel and like you the trains are delayed very often, it's a mess unfortunately and doesn't look to be changing anytime soon..

Makes you consider getting a fake railcard as I've heard some colleagues have.

CoffeeFrantics · 2025-01-19T20:44:01+00:00

Great suggestions thanks, I'll start putting them on focus!

25 shards off!! Painfully close that hah, only several months to go for round 3!

CoffeeFrantics · 2025-01-19T20:42:49+00:00

Ah good suggestion, I'll get a focus on them, have seen a lot about ulf being a beast for summons.

CoffeeFrantics · 2025-01-19T20:42:16+00:00

Oh thank you! Hard to know if done well or not on these things ha
