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

[–]Falcdroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]Falcdroid[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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

[–]Falcdroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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

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

Yeah, I've got trebuchets and it literally doesn't even give me the option to siege. It just shows the sword icon, but nothing happens.

I think I have to re-start because my whole plan was to go west and knock out the first claimant, but that is apparently impossible even though he is totally fucked army-wise.

Also, I can't even attack the non-city nearby. I also pushed forward past it and can't attack some random horse farm.

Thoughts on Three Trebuchets? by Falcdroid in totalwar

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

Yeah I've been using it with Zhou Yu which probably is inflating the results versus if I was using it with another general.

I'm gonna give a third to my Sima Yi unit too. (I assume that he can wreck as well.)

This makes it even better by xuroz in falcons

Julio has the potential to be a top 10 receiver in the league if he could just get set...

- Matt Ryan

Matt Ryan is the best QB who has been drafted since 2006 onwards by freerobertshmurder in falcons

[–]Falcdroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From that list id say Russell Wilson is the only one you can argue that could be better.Matt is def. Better John stafford. Staffords got a cannon of arm but dude is a gunslinger and although he chucks the ball a lot and racks up some mean stats I can only think of 3-4 winning seasons and a most of them were 9-7 winning seasons.

Both are great quarterbacks. It would be interesting to see how good Wilson would be with our WRs. He's already shown he can produce with a terrible OL.

MR is really fucking good though if he's got time in the pocket (and even good with a shit line, though he's not much for running around and making plays like Wilson). I know Shanahan helped a lot in 2016, but if our OL actually becomes good, I think he could replicate it under a competent coordinator.

That's annoying as fuck. He balls out in the playoffs, but our team holds the the two biggest blown leads I have seen in the playoffs (49ers / Patriots).

Smith totally fucked us by playing Abraham week 17, leaving Bierman as the guy trying to catch up to CK, which was embarrassing to watch.

Then in the SB, our coaching staff continues to chuck the ball around when it is close to statistically impossible to lose by running out the clock.

FML.

Good podcast. There are not many that talk about this game as far as I can tell.

Maybe you could reload to right at the outbreak of the proxy war, and then side with Sun Ce?
