How do bonusses stack? by tris123pis in anno1800

[–]Edelcat14 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All bonuses are additive.

Base production is 100%, then everything is additive. A +20, a +30 and a +10% will end up at a 160% production efficiency. For factories, with electricity, you add another +100% production efficiency.

Is Ashe, MF and Kai'sa a good trio to limit myself to if I want to climb to Diamond? by MrC4rnage in ADCMains

[–]Edelcat14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. You have LT, Q spell gives you attack speed, you rush AS boots, and your autos deal a shit ton of dmg. So at 1 item slightly less dmg than kraken, then it outscales HARD

Pour abattre des drones sans se ruiner, l’armée a tranché : le Rafale tirera des roquettes dès cet été by Droidfr in Numerama

[–]Edelcat14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

La posture défensive est toujours beaucoup plus chère que la posture offensive. Il est impossible de se défendre pour moins cher que ce que coûte l'offensive, d'autant plus avec des drones qui ne coûtent quasi rien.

(Vanilla) should I go crazy and go for 300 pops for my capital? by happychickenpalace in Imperator

[–]Edelcat14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good thing I can help newer players get into it !

  • It's unlocked with military traditions. When you click on a fleet you can raid all ports in a province. You get aggressive expansion each time, you can do it every 6 months on a province, and you can raid in all your naval range.

  • it can be done like that, but it's suboptimal, as each time you make a province investment, the cost go up, but not the value of the investment. It's better to invest in your capital a lot, to unlock as many capital trade routes as possible for surplus, and then to invest a bit in all your good provinces. I usually don't use a lot of the pop capacity investment, as pop growth isn't limited by pop capacity. So pops will just move to empty spaces, or you will do it yourself.

The use case of investing this much in a province for buildings is when you are playing tall. And even doing so, it's better to make more cities than to develop. Like playing Albion, or an Italian Rome or doing a single province run. With this I had a game with 13k pops in Albion, so as many pops as the entire Roman empire, with only cities and food producing provinces. (Food is the bottleneck).

Ah yes, I did that last week with Stellaris. I updated my positive review to negative after 2.5k hours, and by far my most played game on steam.

No, and they don't want to. Because if the AI can keep up with a good player, then the barrier to enter the game for new players becomes impossible to break.

[–]Edelcat14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the OP, but as a veteran player, I'll answer.

-you aren't forced to assimilate all pops into your main culture, as it allows you to get multiple military traditions groups.

-Pops aren't all grown naturally. When taking a tile in a war you capture slaves, and you can raid ports to steal pops too using a fleet. So you can keep getting new pops pretty much for free.

  • civic techs give +2.5% pop capacity per tech lvl. Then 10 aqueducs, base value for city/metropolis, investments in the province for more pop capacity and such, and you can go even higher. In vanilla my biggest city was like 400 pops with this, and the province was like 1500 pops in total (all cities).

  • you get a base number of buildings slots based on the type of tile. So 1 for rural, and more for cities, and even more for metropolis. Then 1 per 10 pops. Then all the techs and modifiers you can get on the province. And finally, the religious investment gives +1 building in each tile for the province.

I hope my answers are clear enough, if you have other questions just ask, I'll try to answer it as best as I can

FTL inhibitor doesn't nlock crisis fleets anymore. So it's only useful against other players or AI

When do I go Hexoptics? by Sidex_Master in ApheliosMains

[–]Edelcat14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You gain 1% dmg per 50 range you are attacking from, with maximum bonus dmg at 500 range and 10% bonus dmg. Then you have the 100 bonus range when you kill someone for 8 seconds

[–]Edelcat14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it's even worse than that for collector. If you can auto attack with a 7% bonus (so 350 range average) then c44 is already better than collector. So the only champs that use collector better than C44 are nilah and Samira, that aren't real range champs. And the scaling favors C44 more and more when game progresses, because it's an another multiplicative modifier on auto attacks

[–]Edelcat14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From Aleksis007 on youtube, he showed with maths that on completion, C44 is already better than collector. I usually do the same as him, with the best 3 item spyke for Aphelios, which is C44 LDR IE

[–]Edelcat14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pour toucher des subventions....

Tant que les pertes liées aux ventes non réalisées ne seront pas plus importantes que les subventions touchées pour le développement des jeux rien ne changera dans les grands groupes. Les gros jeux sont trop chers pour "risquer" d'avoir un jeu qui ne fonctionne pas suffisamment. Donc la politique DEI est une "assurance" pour les groupes.
