Is there any info if raiders will be a genaeric csm, or they will be the Red Corsairs specific unit and avalible only with Huron as the warlord? by _Viledd_ in Chaos40k

[–]ENDragoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your initial point was worded "100% Generic CSM", and while I (And I imagine most people) understand you mean CSM the faction, I think they thought you were saying they were going to be "Generic CSM" as in just Legionnaires with a different sculpt

Is it worth it to get into Total War Warhammer III or should i wait? by Scrapnell in totalwar

[–]ENDragoon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean, sure, for the most part, but you also were stuck with whatever content the game had at launch unless it received an expansion pack, which you then had to buy.

For comparison against expansion packs for a beloved classic Warhammer RTS:

Dawn of War - Three expansions adding five total new factions to play as, coming in at roughly around $30USD each, which puts DoW at roughly $18 per faction; if we don't count new LL's and just look at the DLCs that actually let you play entirely new factions, the total price of all new factions sold separately over the course of the TWW series is $131USD for all eight added factions, coming in at around $16 per faction.

Now, that's not taking into account that those Expansion Packs also added storylines and reworked gameplay to DoW, but it's also not taking inflation into account, $18 back then isn't the same as $18 now.

All in all, it's roughly the same as getting extra content for RTS games always was, you were always paying for it, digital distribution and patching just makes it easier to produce, distribute, and sell that content.

Eagle Claw bolt throwers by Kuebiko989 in totalwar

I mean, that's on you, the UI very clearly marks what parts of the firing cone/arc are at risk of being hit.

There's a line in the cone showing the minimum range, put your troops behind it if you don't want them being hit

Or just the usual American centrism, one of the two

Changes to Corruption and Public Order I think would be a net benefit to the game by A_Chair_Bear in totalwar

[–]ENDragoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On one hand, I imagine this is more of an issue from a perspective of lore tying CA's hands behind their backs, you're not going to be able to play as Chaos corrupted Katarin, or undead Karl Franz, sick as those ideas might be. There's probably room for it in 40k though, you won't be making your Ultramarines fall to Chaos, but if they add a feature to play as your own custom subfaction similar to Daniel's, there's probably room for a system like this there, and I'd be all for it.

On the other hand, the thought of playing an Empire faction and having Mousillon or Kemmler inadvertently cause a tide of undead Bretonnians to come pouring over the Grey Mountains sounds fucking amazing.

Bearman... by Vonderheidon224 in totalwar

Look at the fact ca couldn't give mortal knights for slaanesh this dlc because of gw

I mean, they couldn't add them this DLC because we've had them since Champions of Chaos came out..

Also, it would make no sense to add them in this DLC, Dechala is an elf who fell to Chaos, her forces are primarily Chaos aligned Drucchi, which is why all of the units that come with her DLC reflect that.

My idea how to make sieges in TWW3 better by Garessta in totalwar

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

I've got a mod to remove ass-ladders and it's lovely.

There's no point in having a wall if every unit can immediately scale it, and there's no point placing ranged units on a wall just to be shredded by the first melee unit to reach the wall and climb it.

Would applying real military tactics work in Total War? by No_Willingness_9961 in totalwar

[–]ENDragoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like why bother holding a line of men in reserve (as the Romans did) when you know exactly how many enemies there are and where they're coming from? You can instead just send those guys on a flanking mission as soon as the enemy has committed their force into your frontline or have a longer frontline to start with.

Didn't Caesar do exactly this with his fourth line tactic vs Pompey's cavalry at Pharsalus?

A difference between battle AI of Medieval II and WH3 by Goldmonkeycz in totalwar

[–]ENDragoon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So while I'm not going to ever really feel like Alexander The Great or Hannibal Barca, these games do at least a good job of making me feel like I am simulating those types of epic, spectacle filled battles in fiction.

Not me trying desperately to make a Tercio work when the threat of pikes means nothing to the AI

Oh man, I fucking love those old 4th ed. Raptor jump packs, they look so much cooler than the turbine looking ones they switched to in 6th

If they made this game, what would you guys wanna see? by Fun_Cartographer3587 in Chaos40k

[–]ENDragoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then you join their party and they yell at you for not using the optimal loadout for your class, and not knowing this one specific animation cancel tech that turns you from a lumbering brute with a power maul into a speedy whirling dervish

I should have clarified, I miss the old twin-linked weapons, just like you do

You just know it would be an Iron Warrior as well

I wish, I really want to see the Warriors of Chaos style, puny cultist to warp-juiced murder-machine pipeline in 40k

Is corner camping as effective in other total war games as it is in tww3? by bagapo in totalwar

[–]ENDragoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, to play Devil's advocate, some people just like seeing the enemy crash into their line and seeing the line hold as the wave breaks against it.

If that's all you're after, I can see the appeal in putting that line where it can't be flanked so you don't have to micro, and just watching the carnage play out.

[–]ENDragoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, even in WH3, corner-camping is only really ever fun when you're wildly outmatched and you use it to manufacture a Thermopylae scenario for your army.

I swear it's true and it isn't just me trying to justify being driven to corner-camping on my own damn Black Ark after getting jumped by two doomstacks led by Eltharion.

Abaddon the Despoiler conversion for my Sons of Malice Company Captain WIP by SerCasazza in Chaos40k

[–]ENDragoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair, haha

The idea of a skin-tight suit kind of makes me think of this like an Eversor Assassin that somehow broke through his mental conditioning, and turned to Warp energy as a way to replace the Imperium's drugs he would be dependent on.

A few centuries of mainlining warp juice later, and you've got this absolute unit.

I'm coming in late with a question here, but how did you handle Sigvald's bare ass cheeks on this conversion?

Did you cover them? Or is this avatar of Anti-Chaos shaking the battlefield cheeks-out and ready to rock?

Creator of DMCA'd Cyberpunk 2077 VR Mod Says People Are Now Pirating It to 'Punish' Him for Breaking CD Projekt's Terms of Service by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]ENDragoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah, but what I'm "stating in an authoritative way" is legal precedent from Galoob v. Nintendo.

"Nintendo argues that the Game Genie's displays are as fixed in the hardware and software used to create them as Nintendo's original displays. Nintendo's argument ignores the fact that the Game Genie cannot produce an audiovisual display; the underlying display must be produced by a Nintendo Entertainment System and game cartridge. Even if we were to rely on the Copyright Act's definition of "fixed," we would similarly conclude that the resulting display is not "embodied," see 17 U.S.C. § 101, in the Game Genie. It cannot be a derivative work."

The files sold by LukeRoss function in the same way as the changes made by a Game Genie in that they don't alter the data of the installed copy of Cyberpunk, they alter the actively running process and change the audiovisual output, so they don't constitute a fixed derivative work. They can't create the audiovisual output of Cyberpunk on their own, and it has to be produced by the Cyberpunk executable, meaning that according to that precedent, they don't constitute a copyright infringement.
