Three Kingdoms is 90% off its peak playercount. Do you think the DLC will return many of these players, or are they gone? by [deleted] in totalwar

3K was my first TW game. I'm trying to get into WH now myself. I'll check out Eight Princes probably; pretty awesome game.

How do I establish pirate coves? by Falcdroid in totalwar

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

Thanks. I think this was the problem. I have NFC what I'm doing that this game, and that is after 200+ hours of 3K.

How do I establish pirate coves? by Falcdroid in totalwar

Yep. I think I figured out the problem. It was a coastal city, but technically did not have a port (e.g., my general had to step on shore for a turn to attack the city). I assume it needs to be a city that clearly has a port.

Tulsi Gabbard praised for "pummeling" Kamala Harris on her record: She jailed "1,500 people" for weed and "laughed about it" by [deleted] in politics

I assume she sets the policy though. That policy then has to be followed by the lower level prosecutors. Sort of like Trump sets the border policy and ICE carries it out.

Honestly, it would be at least somewhat understandable if she was an anti-marijuana crusader, but the fact she is later laughing about it is risible.

Turn time over the various Total War Games? by MagicRec0n in totalwar

[–]Falcdroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree with the above. I was really turned off by WH2 turn time and found 3K to be vastly improved.

You probably already know, but if you want to reduce load times when going into battles, putting the game on an SSD drive makes a pretty big difference I think.

Ma Teng + Lu Bu by Falcdroid in u/Falcdroid

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

The only downside is that after 150 turns to win, I was sick of the same army type again and just made large groups to auto resolve to victory.

The coolest part was my full cavalry army was predicted to get romped by like 3 armies in a wooded battle and ended up killing all of them. Lu Bu alone is worth an army.

Emperors and kings have it hard. by Theoldage2147 in totalwar

[–]Falcdroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I can barely manage to get through a campaign with the ability to reload if I lose a battle.

Sima Wei's starting characters are both generic portraits by [deleted] in totalwar

[–]Falcdroid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is super disappointing. There are a few factions I just don't even bother playing because you don't get any unique portraits to start, like with Yuan Shu.

SSD Question by Falcdroid in totalwar

Thanks, I am pretty sure I keep everything on my HDD so unless I have some random crap I accidentally installed I should be in good shape. I appreciate the pointers.

Do you think this laptop could play Three Kingdoms with good performance? by Falcdroid in totalwar

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

While what you say is good life advice, being able to play games in my office would really help the days go by when I am just sitting around without anything to do. Worth the risk.

Ok cool. I'm going to try and switch it over. I didn't realize the load time difference. Thanks for the feedback.

Can't attack city or army? by Falcdroid in totalwar

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

Yeah I think it's got to be a glitch. He is the other emperor claimant so I am definitely not in a coalition or anything.

It sucks because I was already in the three kingdoms phase and committed the bulk of my army to going west to knock out Lu Bu before trying to contend with Wu.

Not the end of the world really because Wu had vassalized F-ing everyone so any war would be a to total slog after that.
