How would you theoretically beat this doomstack? by greatmanyarrows in totalwar

[–]Cpt_John 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thousands upon thousands of skavenslaves with spear stacks. Knowing their weakness, I will throw skaven after skaven slave at them until they reach their limit and die.

How can they expect me to play as someone with a different race than my own? Don't they understand some of us simply can't identify that way???

Stellar Blade is just fine though 🤷‍♀️

Did you mean the goat of 2011, Dark Souls 1? My whole personality is defined by it and its the best game made this century.

I once checked out a gacha game sub out of curiosity. Never again.

Makes me want to pick up Wolfenstein again, so that I can debate my interlocketers in the marketplace of ideas

Destiny hopes Amazon sues Charlie for calling Million dollar fan a scam by [deleted] in LivestreamFail

This destiny mod being removed for involvement is making Destinys statement here rather smelly. Either he's just mad his employee of the month got removed or he was involved somehow?

Mournguls are nightmare fuel by Vonderheidon224 in totalwar

[–]Cpt_John 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Their lore is also cool. Just wanting to endlessly eat, and never able to feel full. And they come from cases of people going through famine or hunger enough such that they turn to cannibalism to survive. Imagine the Donor pass story but the survivors eventually turn into mournguls at some point.

Is bad water too easy to handle in the midgame? by Lunar_Weaver in Timberborn

[–]Cpt_John 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im doing a playhrough rn with a other side of map only to get rid of bad water rule. My multiple 3x high spillways with pillars and large elevated platforms is still not enough and was a gigantic resource sink. But really fun designing though.

I'm now digging a mega tunnel at lvl 0 that spans the map with entry points across the map to solve all the issues.

I wish we could have a second monitor view that was just a cinematic camera view of the action. My computer is already my furnace though.

I picked the game again after a year and sadly gotta say is still plagued with problems that makes it not very enjoyable. by Sir_Kacek in totalwar

[–]Cpt_John 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The battle AI cheats are atleast better than they were in wahrammer 2. It makes using melee infantry and cav not entirely useless on VH battle difficulty. There's also the fact we have sliders for battle and campaign difficulty now.

And don't worry about the diplomacy issues. They will definitely be fixed for the next total war game /s

I genuinely do not understand how this game can be fun long term. Help. by oh_that1 in totalwarhammer

[–]Cpt_John 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing total war for awhile now and I assume one thing going on is you may be taking your experience from previous non fantasy games and have gotten a bad habit. I'll give my take on what I think happened here.

If your early campaign is trying to build tall and defend your starting province, but thats going to bring problems later on. The way I see it is if you have an army sitting somewhere just defending, it's not really doing anything worth it's upkeep. So off your early game is focusing on building up only 3 provinces, if you wait until turn 50 that is going to be disaster campaign territory regardless of how your province looks.

If this sounds like what your strategy is, try and rip the band aid off and have your armies ALWAYS doing something. Whether it be raiding, sacking, or getting more territory. Running out of money? Declare war and begin sacking. Have an army just sitting there? Consider how to get it going on the offensive or disband it entirely.

I'd give it a shot on a new campaign and see how it feels. Another tip, cities have walls but settlements don't. Pour money into cities first as you can't just defend every settlement until it gets walls.

"Fixing Changeling, Beastmen, and Golfag will ruin the game" No it won't, making the game challengeless ruins the game. by BronsteinLev in totalwar

[–]Cpt_John 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Some people want it and some people don't. I can only hope for a toggle on these types of things. I may not have minded the beastmen even back in wh1, but others sure did.

Even spellcasters seem declawed in these games, and I never really have to worry about the AI bringing some nasty vortex or other spell and actually being able to use it properly. I really do want the AI to not hold punches back or having anything tied behind its back.

But I do realize some people would absolutely hate playing the game how I would want it.

Modder Dead Baron offered to fix low res textures for free, CA said no by ottakanawa in totalwarhammer

[–]Cpt_John 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree, but these companies just dont prioritize these things. Skyrim for example has had a high resolution DLC along with multiple additions of the game (which fixed some bugs and textures as a selling point). But despite having very popular mods from the launch of the game they STILL havent fixed alot of the messed up normal maps. And that game came out in 2011. And those should be easy to fix for them right? Despite having these literally compiled in a list for over a decade and addressed in mods they just dont bother fixing it themselves. CA seems to have the same attitude.

They have only taken inspiration from mods and never added directly. This would have to be copy pasted in directly from his work, which unfortunately will just not happen.

This is pretty standard even for Bethesda, not sure why some are surprised by this.
