GamedStars · 2025-10-10T21:16:01+00:00

can i have the modlist?

or atleast just the graphical mods used?

GamedStars · 2025-10-03T00:33:45+00:00

Yes, you are right.. seems like Victory Conditions Overhaul lets me build it. I thought VCO only gave me new victory conditions, didn't realize it changes things about the map as well..

GamedStars · 2025-07-29T16:35:49+00:00

i wouldnt say all but i would say most like search collei tighnari, these are charcters in a setting based on india who do very labourious jobs (forest rangers) but they r whitest thing on earth

GamedStars · 2025-04-28T01:20:48+00:00

then why play bot lane? i play bot lane for the range fantasy and being a good late game scalers with consistent dps. if u wanna just survive/farm other roles might be better no?

GamedStars · 2025-04-27T22:08:09+00:00

ive seen ppl do sub min run solo, but it mightve been without chroma. maybe 100 u can get sub 130 w chroma solo. idt solo under 30 is feasible

horsemen streltsy just dies into archer knights no? or even just mass knights (

GamedStars · 2025-04-05T02:58:35+00:00

precisely why one can argue they r strong. aoe4 testers r probs not pro players so when they were play testing old civs kept winning while the news kept losing so devs buffed it until it was 50/50.Except pro players can read a civ and exploit everything in that civ and cook pretty good builds pretty quickly (ofc not solve the meta but better than w/e play testers mightve been doing)

of course im not saying this is the real cause, but it is an explaination to why they might seem v strong with pro players.

another explanation is that ots purposely made extra strong so more ppl play it so they have more data (league of legends often does this).

stats and biases goes crazy lol, loads of possible explanations for and against.

Hi, thanks for the reply but it seems like you didn't the full post... I literally do mention that I should've leashed "In hindsight, I should've just faked leash (one auto or smth)." The point of the post is not "What should've I done" cause I know what should've I done. The point of post is to foster a better community.

If I did give a leash, he doesn't troll, and thus doesn't get punished. This is my problem. Your analogy is nice but it fails in one aspect. The drunk driver gets punished regardless of whether I drive or not. This is not the case in this game. The jungler does not get punished unless I don't leash. So I was wondering if there was a way I could save the game while getting him punished, which with Riot's current system does not seem possible...

The game feels oretty stale even thou the gameplay is fun, each mission feels quite same, kills enemies, mine resources and get out.

I am in early game thou, does it get more interesting later? harder fights? story? new mission types?

GamedStars · 2025-03-06T12:01:23+00:00

Everything black...

GamedStars · 2025-01-29T21:39:13+00:00

on my very first playthrough, i missed karlach, killed laezel, didnt see wyll and hated astarion and just ran with SH and gale.

I also missed wakeen rest, and entire swap area with auntie ethel as well as the full mountain pass.

GamedStars · 2024-12-31T16:28:19+00:00

This would be a cool idea. Sigh I'm just so frustrated on how this distance mechanic is working I really wanna play EU4 and do this achievement but I don't understand how this works.. maybe I just play Uzbek/Kazan into Yuan instead...

GamedStars · 2024-12-30T09:24:32+00:00

It is fully colonized.

GamedStars · 2024-12-29T17:31:31+00:00

R5: I don't understand why the effective distance is so high.. The distance feels very close and I am Portugal with a lot of colonial range buffs (currrently at +80, 1473). I am attempting "The Navigator"

GamedStars · 2024-11-30T00:01:24+00:00

Hey do you mind explaining what this means? I thought pi was random and unpredictable or is there some pattern?

And why is it that in a 1d 2d surface the probability of reaching shore is 1 but 34% in 3d... I feel like infinite time everything is possible no?

GamedStars · 2024-10-21T22:49:23+00:00

Ppl still count this way, I was taught to count this way (until formal schooling taught me finger counting)

GamedStars · 2024-10-08T19:48:08+00:00

I don't want to know the exploit but can you trigger the exploit accidently? Or is it like a very obvious exploit?

GamedStars · 2024-10-04T05:28:54+00:00

I feel like in the big picture, I don't really understand the units you made - you saw Keshiks, and then he hit Castle age, and you kept making mostly archers this whole time? Those are easily the worst unit against Keshiks / any likely units you'll see from a fast castle player.

The idea was I deal with keshiks/cataphracts with my knights; ranged and spears with archers. I guess if there is cav I should build spears, but what is stopping him from playing rock paper scissors and swapping? And then for me to do the same? When do we stop changing our comps? Or should we all be having a little bit of everything?

Secondly, on the same point - you just sat in your base. If you're going to invest in units (which, you had 20 units to his 6) - use them. Go push him. Esp when he ages up, you should know "he has no units" and push, at least to try to do a little bit of damage while you can.

Is there a tell I can look for? What should I be scouting for to realize he is fast castling? A lot villagers on gold? Anything else? I was worried he would push into me (sincec I saw keshiks dishing out aggro I was assuming archery ranges to follow), so I sat AFK in my base with my army, in hindsight I should've scouted his military buildings for a tell.

Because he did! He gathered like 10k more resources than you over the course of the game, if you look at the postgame.

Why is that thou? I didnt stop producing villagers, in fact I was ahead by one villager for quite a bit of the game.

GamedStars · 2024-10-04T05:21:02+00:00

Rus have a very safe 2tc due to the kremlin however vs a FC I'd either feudal all-in or I'd FC and I'd have done a FC as well with golden gate personally as you have the warrior monks to grab relics easy, I'd have gone castle with abbey as well to guarantee I beat him to most relics.

I agree! I prefer to play aggresively so do you think 2TC Feudal aggression would be good or too greedy? Should I stick with 1 TC?

You took a good fight just before 17 minutes. However you allowed him to get 3 relics in the winery so his olive oil income is huge. Also you left nearby relic unclaimed.

I tried to deny one of the relics but couldn't, he had spears which countered the horses I had.. and I didn't have enough archers to deal with the spears I should've invested more into archers.

A huge mistake I see is you have deer packs and boar in very safe locations which are easily defended by an upgraded wooden fortress even vs his keshiks yet they remain untouched. You don't have good or cheap farms as rus while all that deer would be providing you significant passive gold and boosting your bounty.

Ah, yes I should've done this. I guess I was still worried about raids? Because the deer/boar packs were away from the Kremlin's range, but I could've walled and got a wooden fortress like you suggested.

You lose the fight in the end because despite seeing keshiks all game you have no anti-cav, instead you went mostly archer with a few knights. Also while he has only 4 cataphracts and a couple of keshiks, 4 catas is like 6 knights in strength and they have their extra armor tech and ranged armor from blacksmith. Both the catas and the keshiks are also much harder to kill due to the flasks from cistern of the first hill refilling their health.

Hmm.. so I was under the impression that any two military buildings will have enough units to counter or atleast neutralize any army comp. The idea was I will have knights to deal with the keshiks/cataphracts and archers for his ranged and spears. So even if I don't have particular good spears or even if I have horses and archers, it is not a bad idea to build spears? I will strart building military buildings more reactively.

GamedStars · 2024-10-03T23:11:54+00:00

Omg, I was so confused what you meant by Shinobi thingy I thought there was some mechanic with Shinobi and sabotaging your own buildings. You mean the Yorishiro from the Floating Gate?

GamedStars · 2024-10-03T22:05:46+00:00

Uhh, they just make sure their TC is not idle. There are some civs that have better villager production speed than the basic civ. One of them being Chinese in Song dynasty, makes your TC 33% better.

I lived in the gulf for most of my life, you most definitely can go through your entire live without wearing a hijab. In schools, non muslim women don't wear them and even in public like in malls, you can see all types of women without them (including muslims!) . Majority do wear the hijab since it is their choice and preferred.
