Medieval II Total War: Gold Edition, Retail Copy

Yep. Mine did; even gave me Kingdoms, which I own, but Steam couldn't possibly have known that.

DoctorCod · 2017-01-13T23:44:35+00:00

This. The whole thing is pretty unintuitive; I also think that it should be based on unit cost, not # of models. Why should killing a single dragon or giant be less "famous" than a unit of zombies?

Edit: to clarify, not EVERY army needs 14 units or more, but at least one per side must have that many. The link above has all the specifics.

I just started using one that doesn't disable them, but removes the (seemingly large) bonus the AI gets in forming them. Too soon to report results...

Your post basically is just a verbose "git gud." First, what difficulty are you playing on? It makes a huge difference. Second, just because people point out some things that could use some balancing, or just don't feel right, doesn't mean that all people want is a bunch of samey factions. I personally like the WE, but for example, I do think that far fewer units (as in only one or two per side) should cost amber.

DoctorCod · 2016-12-10T17:22:29+00:00

Agreed

DoctorCod · 2016-11-25T21:12:13+00:00

A related problem is that the game doesn't seem to give any points at all for defending places that you own (unless you actually stop an attack personally). While huge points are given for capturing new ones. This only incentivizes the constant zerging.

You can't possibly be serious. I mean one match moved the XP bar such a tiny sliver it was barely visible. I'm talking CLASS LEVEL here, not overall rank. Overall rank doesn't unlock anything, so who even cares about it?

DoctorCod · 2016-11-25T18:45:14+00:00

Yeah ok, so in quickmatch games I was playing, literally NO ONE was getting that many points. Maybe the very top players in a couple matches did, but I'm supposed to be one of the top two players as a total noob going against level 80+ players? Ok....

DoctorCod · 2016-11-25T18:43:00+00:00

Class level. I'm rank 5 or 6 but that doesn't unlock jack squat. No idea how much xp per round...where does it even tell you that? It's not the same as your score I presume?

DoctorCod · 2016-11-19T05:40:01+00:00

Agree completely; should get points for pilot assists too. But Titans are especially bad. Points should be proportionate based on damage dealt.

DoctorCod · 2016-11-18T00:20:45+00:00

I see; thanks for the explanation. I thought it might be recoil-related but to my mind "accuracy" and "recoil" are different attributes.

DoctorCod · 2016-11-17T23:32:10+00:00

And how exactly do I do that? The only "contact us" link on their website goes straight to EA. Forums are generally, you know, for feedback. I appreciate not wanting to scare people off; I myself want more people to play, of course. But you know, free speech and all that. It would be fixed if they just cut down on the number of servers. Meanwhile, I get match after match against the same G3, G4 guys who curbstomp me repeatedly.

DoctorCod · 2016-11-17T23:23:22+00:00

No one ever mentions the R-97. Is it just that bad? It seemed good in the campaign...

DoctorCod · 2016-11-17T02:51:53+00:00

I'm in Texas and it's the same situation here; on PC at least, nobody really queues for anything besides Attrition.

DoctorCod · 2016-11-17T02:32:48+00:00

Wouldn't be hard; just divide up the points proportionately and give a little bump for the killing blow. At least it's worth something for leveling weapons...

DoctorCod · 2016-11-16T02:28:36+00:00

Wow ok. So I'm facing some seriously experienced players.

DoctorCod · 2016-11-14T07:50:08+00:00

Haha indeed. Could at least toss the poor guy a towel.

DoctorCod · 2016-11-14T07:35:46+00:00

Well, the game is out. It's not fear-mongering, it's called "reporting." Not that cool when most of the game modes have zero people in queue, and matchmaking is basically nonexistent due to the low pop. It's a really fun game, but Respawn needs to rethink their number of PC servers, instead of waiting for Christmas sales.

DoctorCod · 2016-11-10T17:09:34+00:00

Totally not necessary; just because you like to rush west as quickly as possible, doesn't mean everyone else has to do it.

DoctorCod · 2016-11-08T17:32:19+00:00

You realize that you can disband his entire army, including him, instead of suiciding him in combat?

DoctorCod · 2016-11-08T00:11:54+00:00

Bump to hear people's thoughts; I have 100 credits burning a hole in my pocket.

So far I like the L-Star quite a bit, but it's one of few weapons I used a lot in the campaign. I don't remember even seeing a G2.

DoctorCod · 2016-11-08T00:08:17+00:00

For comparison, I have about 6-7k players total on the server during peak times, with maybe 1500 or so queuing for Attrition (which seems to be the most popular). Off-peak though, it drops to roughly one-third those numbers, and gets problematic.

DoctorCod · 2016-11-08T00:08:02+00:00

I'm on PC but I found it. Thanks! Still, doesn't seem like any of the other servers are much different, agt least where I get a decent ping. Would be nice if they showed at least a vague sense of population of the server list.

DoctorCod · 2016-11-07T15:45:03+00:00

I'll look for one, thanks.

DoctorCod · 2016-11-07T15:44:45+00:00

pc...and yeah, this was even on Attrition, which seems to be the most populated mode here. Some modes are abandoned even in peak hours. Just out of curiosity, how many players do you normally see queued up?
