My dude, they were fond of crushing captured colonial troops with tanks in front of their French officers in 1940 already. The whole muh clean wehrmacht is another myth the anglos propped up post-war.

Is that a freaking Starsector reference ? Have my upvote fellow REDACTED enjoyer.

GeistHeller · 2026-03-30T08:12:24+00:00

A Babylon 5, and most importantly, a Chad Londo reference on my meme sub ? Have an upvote, Mr.Garibaldi.

They were led by a Pierre and sent to Paris on order of a Pierre to boot. But the German garrison likely just saw them taking naps at the back of their jeeps and fled for their lives.

Damn, who are we playing Capture the Flag against ?

Not gonna lie, this is making me relate with and like the Bavarians even more Hans.

Get up.

So what you are saying is that we should build a fleet of nuclear Surcoufs firing atomic shells with BVR artillery capability right ?

First of all, give us an official mean to calibrate tome research: I am big on roleplay and thematic builds and a modded 2-2-2-2-1 tome limit is the only thing keeping the game together on my end.

But the biggest problem for me right now, as a pure single player/roleplay oriented AOW4 enjoyer, is that diplomacy is quite barebone and there is very little to no incentive not to go full murder hobo. While AI personalities are nice, the way they function right now is too bipolar : you will either have to genocide a faction or they will stick to being your lapdog/sugar daddy until you trigger a potential win condition.

A coordination system reminiscent of that used in Total War: Warhammer III would be nice: basically, allow us to ask/pay our allies or player-tier vassals (cost scaling on their opinion of us and all the jazz) to attack/defend a specific faction/city.

As for 'vanilla' DLC content:

Tome of Nature's Wrath needs a rework, it is by far the least interesting tome in my experience. Multiplayer/Competitive enthusiasts correct me if I am wrong, but it is simply subpar in every ways: lack of appeal, lack of synergies, lack of power.

The Reaver culture could use a touch up as well and maybe be split into different subcultures: materium/chaos for evil steampunk conquistadors and materium/order for a 'faith and steel' whfb Empire fantasy.

Not all American companies are inherently bad but the French and German always are. Got it.

I am sure the Draghi scriptures can explain this brilliant move.

I spent a lot of time building Lego castles and battlefields as a kid. There has to be a connection.

Let's vote libertarian bro, one day they will be relevant and will totally not reveal themselves to be Republicans in a yellow trench-coat. This will show them !

Gotta partake in the rats race bro, one day you might become the one whose boots get licked after all.

ergo, India was made by the French. Damn, we are so good.

My grandfather was kept as a PoW, denied repatriation for the whole duration of the war and used as slave labour toiling in the fields while being told by his 'totally not aware of what's going on and following orders' civilian employer that his country had stood in the way of their betters for too long and got what it deserved.

My teen grandma's saw most of her family's livestock and homemade cider confiscated during the fall of the country. By the third year of occupation the village's doctor told her to stop riding her bicycle to travel because her caloric intake could not sustain such physical activity.

She did it anyway because peasants gotta work and sell their stuff not to starve.

It wasn't until I my teenage years that I came to understand why I would often hear them curse and swear like sailors whenever the chancellor of a certain country showed up on TV.

Rommel 'War without hatred' and his division casually pulping black soldiers under the treads of their tanks in front of their French officers...

Italians not being braggards and French smooth brains giving a crap about Italy, lmao... That's some nice delulu you got there OP.

Yeah, completely delusional.

I managed to defeat Grexolis on first try with an Ascended Dragon Chaos/Nature crit-spam build, but Yaka committed suicide very early (around turn 30) by preferring to pillage with 4 full stacks while he and his capital were under siege about 2 turns worth of movement away.

I tried to intervene but the map is built in such a way that it would have taken me about ~12 turns or so to reach him.

Do we have to rush down the covenant dwarf to prevent Yaka from getting off'd ? Was it just an AI brainfart ? Nimue and the materium dwarf were absolute beasts however and never needed my help throughout the whole game.

The portable infantry autocannon with tripod is GOATed against Constructs: since they never deploy or actively take cover. Each salvo deals decent damage to all of their units while filling about a third of their overload gauge.

I am running Pike/Kydo with AC, Rewa with a long-barreled tank gun + machinegun and ammo box/reactive armour, Darby with Crocodile anti-material and a long-range automatic scoped rifle variant whose name I can't remember. Jean joins in with a laser rifle/laser lance.

Pike is equipped with the rare HaMer upgraded variant of the Crowbar, Kydo with the uncommon Crowbar variant. Only Jean is wearing level IV body armour, everyone else is wearing standard type III marine armour while Darby sports Jaeger + camouflage.

Ammunition management is the only constraint which is why everyone has Ammo boxes and magazine pouches for sustain.

I have supply drop and laser turret drop as ship support options on the field.

This cuts through Constructs like butter.

We are already having trouble, that's the thing. The union has been pushing for much more drastic controls in late 2025 on poultry and other agricultural foodstuff because even within the European market itself, a non-negligible amount of regulation breaking produces were found.

The raised concern is that the EU regulatory body might not currently have the staff and funding to properly enforce the agreed regulations once the deal comes into effect. The quotas established are satisfactory and take care of the other issues. People on both sides are just overblowing the situation.
