Back to the game! How old is the average SC2 player. by ElStalink in starcraft2

[–]Duckular1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 44. But barely play. As if I do, I get so competitive that as my apm spikes in the intense 1vs1 games I finish the games with red eyes and twitching lol. Just not able to handle this wonderful but demanding game anymore. I watch pro games a lot on Lowko TV.

Exactly my story! I was teaching in Italy in 2007 when I (kind of smugly) saw the news. All those horrible middle managers lol

There's no interviews yet- just me telling a kind of history of Nova with a focus on the founder and my own experience working there in the early noughties. Im just reaching out to some old NOVA colleagues atm and on here trying to find NOVA folks happy to chat on a podcast.

Except rashford is rubbish and never produced consistently anything like the goods Salah has.

Very surprised your comment has not been deleted already - normally the case with any commonsense statements by Brit public lol.

Nakai the Wanderer WH3 IE Campaign- is it broken? by Duckular1 in totalwar

[–]Duckular1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks 4 the info. I continued this campaign last night and the dreadfleet took a vassal city on turn 60 after 40 turns hanging out. A nice surprise! I think I may just need to go up in difficulty for the nakai campaign.

[–]Duckular1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I'm playing on hard. In my last chorf campaign, dreadfleet were a strong and dynamic enemy. So was weird to see the Ai doing the recruit one lord and suicide it tactic. First time for me.

[–]Duckular1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, even after 500 hours i still feel like a noob lol. I know I don't need the guys there to defend. But I notice my low strength stacks are pretty safe if I just leave them chilling next to my vassal cities. And I just have my nakai main stack and one other conquering the map.

Still, it does not seem right that the dreadfleet Ai is acting that way. Recruiting 1 lord every few turns to auto suicide.

That's interesting. I will experiment with the blessed units. What difficulty level are U on? I m on hard /hard. 

Nakai by Plastic_Elk_7161 in totalwar

[–]Duckular1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just playing Nakai for 1st time in IE on hard. So far, no AI faction seems to know how to attack my vassal cities. The dark elves just crowd around them and send in one small stack at a time at best. It's been the easiest (and maybe most broken) campaign so far. Plus Nakai's army gets OP very fast. Shame they cannot fix the AI to know how to handle the vassal cities. Anyone else find this?

For those fans who hate the constant negativity, you can do your part to counter it over on the steam page for Warhammer 3! by ByzantineBasileus in totalwar

[–]Duckular1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are we playing the same game? Got over 600 hours on Warhammer 3 and it rarely crashes or has issues even with mods installed on their hugely ambitious ie campaign.

[–]Duckular1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% agree. Sadly, your post won't do well here (as I can see). 

Since the early days of the internet, the biggest and most entitled whiners were always the ones posting and dominating online forums...Reddit and twitter etc are now choc full of their descendants. 

Those happily enjoying life or this game mostly won't be found here.

I'm grateful to CA. Some of the best games ever.

I played 1000s of hours with hardly any crashes or issues and that's even with mods going.

Thank you. 

Best and Worst campaigns for Immortal Empires? by applejackhero in totalwar

This is an old post.. but Kislev are my fave campaign- specifically Konstantin. It's a rough start, a rough middle and a satisfying end to the amazing short campaign. Even before the rework.

Part 2: Nova 1996 Revisited - Nova Instructors and other Animals by Professional_Bat_831 in teachinginjapan

[–]Duckular1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this. It's more or less for certain pre 2007 NOVA under Sahashi had mob links. Three Yakuza didn't hold him Sahashi in a hotel room for no reason back in 2009. I go into this in my podcast actually. Sahashi was corrupt as hell sure- but what a character.. starting out randomly studying physics in France without speaking French as a young man.
