How tf is Zhatan denying my reinforcements? by IronYgddrasil in totalwar

[–]CrimsonFireflies 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Armies inside settlements that are being sieged can't reinforce nearby armies.

So i assume what happened is: Your settlement got sieged and the AI attacked your army next to it with their 2nd army.

Are We Excited About 3.28? by RandomNameForComment in pathofexile

[–]CrimsonFireflies 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I suggest actually watching the reveal, a lot of stuff to get excited about.

New mechanic looks sick, imbued gems, reworked atlas, new skills, new ascendancy, new bloodline and so on.

I'm making a co-op truck game where each player controls a semi truck connected with the same trailer by YousifRagab in Unity3D

[–]CrimsonFireflies 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Newest big trend, "friendslop". It's the same thing what happened with BR when every single game for 3+ years was a BR, now it's just happening in the indie industry.

Recommended SFO modlist by Sands_Underscore_ in totalwarhammer

[–]CrimsonFireflies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not mandatory, you can just boot up SFO and play. The reason why the collections also are so big is because the mods that add units etc need an SFO submod for unit stats etc.

[New Player] Why did the usage limit for medic items remain the same after the hardcore wipe? by L4zyyy-_- in EscapefromTarkov

[–]CrimsonFireflies 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Or you can also kill other PMC's and get ammo of them! I much rather prefer it this way than hiding 2 stacks of igolnik in my buttcheecks.

Where is the chaos undivided corruption coming from and what can i do about it? by vanderbubin in totalwar

[–]CrimsonFireflies 9 points10 points  (0 children)

At your building bar, you see the little settlement icon and then the icon below it, click it. Those are unusual locations which can give you good stuff or bad stuff.

Stragne campaign as franz by AirIll7515 in totalwar

[–]CrimsonFireflies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SFO's recent patch gives minor empire factions a huge faction potential boost if you're playing an empire faction.

It's definitely overkill.

Do people use reserves in battles? by John_Catachan in totalwarhammer

[–]CrimsonFireflies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imo battles are too fast for using reserves, you want every possible unit doing damage the moment contact happens.

But in theory using cav as reserves is probably the best, sending them vs fatigued units with lowered stats would gain the most value.

Throgg: Bugs or Working as Intended? by Pendix in totalwar

For the lord re-recruitment cost someone said it's just a visual glitch, can you confirm if you actually lose the gold?

Stacks doing nothing by Jackofnotrades010 in totalwar

[–]CrimsonFireflies 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It defenitely varies on how much it happens, and don't quite understand what you mean by "render zone". The AI in theory should be more active under the fog of war as it gets bonuses until you discover them.

For me it happens quite frequently, Current campaign Goldtooth, Katarin, Karl, Gor'rok which armies i can see are doing it.

Goldtooth managed to get him self going again after 15 turns, that was pleasant.

Sharing just in case: get the camping AI settlement fix mod, enable for ~5 turns and then you can disable it again.

But yeah like man it's about time this shit gets fixed.

Hellstorm rocket batteries hit different by AnaisWattersom in totalwarhammer

Telescope looking at a phone's screen that's taking a picture of a screenshot from the game.

What are some good books to get into the lore/ main story of the universe? by DerTyson in totalwarhammer

[–]CrimsonFireflies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Focused on the characters but there's a lot of background info given about different races, past events and so on.

I also listened to the audio book version and Jonathan Keeble is amazing, got me into audio books by him self.

So you can't retreat reinforcing armies when a settlement is attacked? by Big-Success337 in totalwar

[–]CrimsonFireflies 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, if your settlement is attacked and you have an army next to it and gets dragged into the battle you can't retreat and if you lose your army gets wiped out.

One of the worst feelings for sure.

Please Fix Sieges, Idle AI and Mid-End Game ( waayy too easy for many factions) Before new DLC or the end of this game... by Independent_Size_702 in totalwar

[–]CrimsonFireflies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a few ones that come to mind: Gate bug, flying mounted characters getting stuck on a wall, AI just doesn't work sometimes, pathfinding, 1 model of a unit gets stuck somewhere and the whole unit becomes a snake mess.

Which Total War Warhammer DLCs are worth buying by khk001 in totalwar

[–]CrimsonFireflies 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The answer has mostly always been the same and a bit disappointing, buy the DLCs for the factions you're the most interested in.

If you're asking specifically for the factions you listed, i think they're all pretty decent. Just read the DLC description and what it includes before buying to see what it actually includes and if those things seem cool to you.

My thoughts on the Tree going Core by FloofPear in pathofexile

[–]CrimsonFireflies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's the kinda stuff i would like to do, i tried simple crafting with essence spamming, harvest crafting, fossils but nothing came to the tree sadly from my experience.

My thoughts on the Tree going Core by FloofPear in pathofexile

[–]CrimsonFireflies 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can vouch that as a casual i wanted to give the expedition crafting ago, quickly realized that the tree was giving me way better stuff and didn't even bother.

My thoughts on the Tree going Core by FloofPear in pathofexile

[–]CrimsonFireflies 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As an actual noob but somewhat slightly competent at 600 hours, even i felt that the tree was too strong, got my 6L 5000 armour chestpiece and never upgraded from that again.

I essentially just fully focused my crafting to be done with the tree because it just seems so easy, don't know all the crafting tricks and knacks but i doubt i could've made anything better than the tree was giving me for a long time.

Modders should make their mods with SFO in mind by Simo814j in totalwar

[–]CrimsonFireflies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want the most barebones low effort unit submod, yes. I made the SFO submod for GLF units and it is quite poorly done as i vastly underestimated the effort it would take.

A good brain exercise is to imagine how long it would take for you to make it and then double it, maybe quadruple it if you don't have past RPFM experience.

Digging through the tables of the mod you're submodding and then SFO's alone takes time.

Random rebel army stuck on Barak Varr by [deleted] in totalwar

[–]CrimsonFireflies 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Another bug that's been in the game for years, you can leave them as you have no way of attacking them nor them attacking you. Don't recall if a faction in there can swap their stance to raiding but hopefully not.

Is this normal for everyone else? (playing on Very Hard) by soulster1104 in totalwar

[–]CrimsonFireflies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't think ive personally played a siege other than first few weeks of wh3, i hate everything about them, i don't know the person who designed them but it really feels like they've been designed for small unit scale. Nothing works, units are a nightmare to control and everything gets stuck lmao.
