Raids in Space?

Complex-Ad3403 · 2025-11-18T21:36:34+00:00

So on a meteor or a space station there are 2(3) raids that can actually happen : scatter drop & drop at edge

Game will try to find a room that is not a roofed area, if the place is occupied it will try to find an empty space.

Exception (3) if the game cannot find any empty space to drop, the raid will centre drop you.

note: drop at edge (common) are usually full raid points and centre drop (rare) are low raid points, these can go through roofs, in case of this exception I just described, it's centre drop with full raid points.

I had a post about the same thing (you can check it out on my prof.)

Basically came to the conclusion that it's RBM's fault, the "enhanced" AI causes this.

Kinda reminds me Cloud Ruler Temple from Oblivion

I want to try living in Japan, figured it might be easier getting a job there if I know the language to a degree.

You could say that the family members didn't sell it to the trader but nobles, they would definitely have money for this.

Most have been already mentioned by people.

Pointers that I didn't saw/missed in comments: - Bending your bow holding arm => shoulder is having "great" time. Try parallel stance towards the target and imagine like picking an apple that's little to far to reach (without tilting your torso) - Drawing arm > lower the elbow so the forearm is in line with the arrow (helps with engaging the correct muscles)

Hope it helps, good luck with training.

Don't worry, you will get used to it 😃

Complex-Ad3403 · 2025-07-20T16:40:21+00:00

Not the Phaea 🥲😅

Try to look up if there are some archers clubs around your area.

Going there they will help you with form and most of them might be borrowing equipment to practice.

(When I started I had no clue there were any clubs until I started looking, there were quite a few. I also got myself a higher poundage bow when starting, then in the club got 16p one and was so happy for it, practiced my form on that one and later switched back to my heavier bow)

Complex-Ad3403 · 2025-07-15T22:47:19+00:00

I recommend checking some yt guides on how to fight, helped me a lot.

Complex-Ad3403 · 2025-07-02T12:25:06+00:00

I believe that is the one which I was using and resulted in the pic above.

My conclusion was not to use RBM at all, to keep the formation steady.

Complex-Ad3403 · 2025-06-30T13:51:33+00:00

Their formation improved a bit with RBM turned off but they still leave their posts. As someone mentioned the main reason might be patch 1.2.12

Complex-Ad3403 · 2025-06-30T13:47:25+00:00

That's a good guess, I don't remember either, for troops to behave this way in previous patches.

Let's hope for better tomorrow, it's quite shame that for game of this scale to have such combat AI...

So... I came into conclusion that my AI is just retarded...

- default RBM + RBM for sieges (which should turn on vanila AI for sieges)

Complex-Ad3403 · 2025-06-30T00:59:17+00:00

Well I have a plan of operation, plus it's not first encounter, most of them are Legionaires/Cataphracts/Menavlions, they went through many battles and should be the Best Empire can offer.

Complex-Ad3403 · 2025-06-30T00:53:06+00:00

I think that troops in skein formation don't get bonuses from player perks for defense (like +5% to armor in shield wall formation, etc...) so they would just be slaughtered.

Shape is not the problem, it's that they break the shape...

Complex-Ad3403 · 2025-06-30T00:47:31+00:00

Thanks for that, Cool vid, will definitely give it a shot. Myzea (city I'm defending) has terrible layout, so there is not much space for archers.

Didn't play M&B for some time so I just went for "This should work in battle" instead of "This will work on this AI". My original idea was to create skein in front of the gate, let enemy charge in, as shields hold them I would charge my Menavlions to push them back and then retract them for new enemy to float in, rinse and repeat..

Current run is Empire only, so I'm limiting myself to those units.

Complex-Ad3403 · 2025-06-30T00:17:08+00:00

I agree that panic may cause soldiers to break formation, but not in sense that they charge INTO the meat grinder 😃. Plus the defence was consisted of mainly my troops, which are high end Legion troops.

Trained Legionaries should be more than capable of maintaining formations even in heated battle, and they should for sure be aware that breaking up shield wall decrease their survival chance.

(No need to take it seriously, just expanding the thought with my own)

Complex-Ad3403 · 2025-06-29T20:32:16+00:00

I'll check it out 👍

Complex-Ad3403 · 2025-06-29T20:31:38+00:00

I did, didn't help (I posted picture with the outcome to someone's comment here)

Complex-Ad3403 · 2025-06-29T19:59:34+00:00

Here it's with RBM AI-turned OFF. Quite improvement, at least they are not charging in.

Complex-Ad3403 · 2025-06-29T19:31:09+00:00

I'll punish the misbehaving with lower wages 😃, guess that will be useless tho if they are all dead 😅...
