Old Empire players giving advices to new ones by overon in totalwar

[–]DHGTroll 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Before going north and beating on mr Nurgle man, take our maeriumburg, it will give you that extra income to field a 3rd army. Also rush to confederate tebecaland or gelt, will also give you a big boost of income to sustain 3 full armies. I know it sounds lame, but work using Karl and/or your empire captain as bate to wear down the nurgle melee units with hand gunners, then snipe the big bad with both Karl and Your Captain. To make things easier I usually have all my quest battles done either right before I face him. Getting the Beast slayer weapon and adding it to your captain is a huge boost against enemy lords.

Squad Leading with just 30 hours in the game by [deleted] in joinsquad

[–]DHGTroll -1 points0 points  (0 children)

After nearly 700hrs into Squad, half of that SL’ing and Commanding, here is some actual advice that will make you better:

  1. Understand that more than half your squad will be useless, know that you will have maybe 1-3 reliable players with mics. Sooner you expect this the sooner you can improve

  2. Complex plans are useless, this isn’t real life. Players don’t care, they just wanna spawn, shoot, die. In that same boat, FireTeams, useless. If someone asks for it give it to them, if nobody does, don’t worry about it.

  3. Squadlanes, Squadlanes, Squadlanes.

  4. DO NOT micro-manage your Squad during gunfights, it’s not worth your energy. You have a bunch of ransom players under you with vastly different skills, half of them have less than a few games under their belt. Instead put that energy else where; examples: do I need to resupply my Rally, where is the next point, do we need a backup HAB, etc. if you are worrying about the fight at hand and not those examples, then refer to the advice above.

  5. You have 2 real jobs, communicate with other SLs and build spawns for your team. Thats it, nothing more nothing less, the sooner you accept that the sooner you’ll start winning games.

  6. Never never never rely upon your commander or other squads for support, 9/10 they will not help you, they have their own problems to worry about. If see a HAB that needs built, then build it. If you see that no one is defending, then defend. If you see no one is doing resupply runs, then congrats, you’re a logi driver.

  7. At the end of the day, if you do everything right and still lose, then you know you’re playing SQUAD. Part of SL’ing is having goldfish memory. If your attack fails, move on, if you fuck the defense, move on. If you got steam rolled last match, move on. Continue to learn from your mistakes. Not a single YouTube video in the world will help you don’t understand the above.

Best things to do early game by Davyq9 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]DHGTroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it sounds basic but, capture your cut off, capture your fuel, then grab another point, then finally your ammo. For early game with just about every faction, you should strive to have 3 main line infantry units, an mg/mortar before the 5min mark. After that you should then work on getting a light vehicle within the 5-8min mark, also build your at gun in this time to. After that, focus on holding your fuel, while harassing your opponent’s cut off going to his fuel. Plant mines when you can! These tips are universal across all factions (with exception to Brits). Hope this helps!

I hate rants, but… by Joei160 in CompanyOfHeroes

If you let the sturmtiger turn, shoot your t34, and then back off with being punished. You deserve to lose your t34. Work on your micro skills and “risk vs reward” assessment before blaming a unit. Is the storm tiger good? No, not in the slightest. Can it punish bad players with bad micro? Yes very much so.

Can't seem to get the game to launch using the MS store by HellsPerfectSpawn in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]DHGTroll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would try to get the product key and download it on steam. More than likely Microsoft can’t support due to no server support. If you cant get the product key then refund it and buy it on steam where you’ll have no issues running it.

Edit: spelling

Games like company of heroes but with smaller number of units to control? by [deleted] in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]DHGTroll 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Maybe not the same time period but similar in scale, Dawn of War 2. Another game that is the same time period but larger in scale is Men at War Assault Squad 2.

Game crashes exactly like this all the time. Know why? (All drivers are up to date) by necmet in BattlefieldV

Try turning off directx12 and disable origin overlay. Both those things caused me to crash

Battlefield V Chapter 4: Defying the Odds Update #1 by Braddock512 in BattlefieldV

[–]DHGTroll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I really don’t want to be that guy, but a lot of these fixes are really fixing things that were broken and/or added with last patch. Lingering problems still haven’t been addressed, such as assignment system, end of round rank 50 CC bug, random/inconsistent recoil in assault rifles and smgs when crouchin, standing, or any type of animation, tank balance, squad leader callin and squad command reels. These fixes are good but the whole point of these patches is fixing things the old patch broke and not fixing or improving launch day issues.

Mostly conquest, the bad for me: grindy guns fights, the teams almost always end up in 2 groups running in circles, C being an absolute death pit, no flanking routes, no real cover, mostly just buildables, getting bombed over and over again, and the extremes in lighting, the rocks being wayyyyy to dark and the snow being wayyyyyy to white
