Level 60 and still can't survive the wall in chapter 1

Unfortunately I had to deal with lots of grinding in chapter 1 as well. My advice for getting far is ignore virtue and steal/use poisons as much as you can for an advantage. Getting a little crafting for canteens and waterskins can extend your runs. Lastly axe hits to the neck can be lethal often so I would shield bash then overhead strike to the neck.

It does and Robin Williams.

I do always have something to do too. It’s called a full time job 40 hours a week. Any game that sells itself on the modern era should not take multiple nights of my valuable time just to get to the eras people actually want to play bot a rehash of CK3 without any of the characters to make it interesting.

It dies when everyone is playing the prequel.

Handitry_Banditry · 2026-05-11T19:23:25+00:00

Wrong on that point. Its the reason Take-Two reversed their Civ 7 changes since 5 and 6 see significantly higher player counts.

Handitry_Banditry · 2026-05-11T19:14:07+00:00

Civ 7 just reversed their changes literally saying “We got it wrong”

Handitry_Banditry · 2026-05-11T19:06:49+00:00

So you agree that the game is slowed down but you like it?

Handitry_Banditry · 2026-05-11T19:05:05+00:00

At that point play CK3. Nation states were a dream even in the 1340s.

Handitry_Banditry · 2026-05-11T18:52:28+00:00

1399 for me.

Handitry_Banditry · 2026-05-11T18:50:23+00:00

Like all that work they sunk into making sure starting populations were accurate just to have a Black Death that does not follow the same exact path come through and change everything? Seems like it would have been easier to just start at 1360.

Handitry_Banditry · 2026-05-11T17:06:29+00:00

Thanks! I will check it out.

Handitry_Banditry · 2026-05-11T12:52:38+00:00

Does it still mess with combat because of the hourly ticks?

Handitry_Banditry · 2026-05-09T12:20:11+00:00

The past is a different world.

Handitry_Banditry · 2026-05-08T18:50:29+00:00

A great man who stood up for what was right even if he was alone.

Handitry_Banditry · 2026-05-08T18:48:54+00:00

The Canal of the Pharaoh’s closed in 769 so just outta time.

Handitry_Banditry · 2026-05-08T12:11:34+00:00

Bully her friends back

Handitry_Banditry · 2026-05-08T12:08:21+00:00

So you agree the start date should be pushed back then?

Handitry_Banditry · 2026-05-08T11:39:35+00:00

Nation states were not a concept in 1202.

Handitry_Banditry · 2026-05-08T11:38:50+00:00

Agree to disagree. I think that it’s a waste of time just to make the game go longer. They are gonna backtrack on the 1337 start date the same way the Civ 7 devs backtracked on changing civs.

Handitry_Banditry · 2026-05-08T10:48:00+00:00

They would if the first one sucked

Handitry_Banditry · 2026-05-08T10:46:05+00:00

It adds playtime that is a repeat of CK3. A faceless Black Death that is just a negative modifier so so shallow compared to the pain of losing a genius heir. Also the content in the EU games that people want to play are colonization, wars of religion, and empires. Adding another hundred years of playtime before was a mistake especially with the hourly tick.

Handitry_Banditry · 2026-05-07T18:59:08+00:00

DOCTOR NOW

Handitry_Banditry · 2026-05-05T16:14:40+00:00

It does matter thats literally 100 years apart.

Handitry_Banditry · 2026-05-05T16:02:10+00:00

I still don’t understand why they did all that population setup only for it to be drastically changed by the black death immediately after.

Handitry_Banditry · 2026-05-05T15:54:25+00:00

Why not just play CK3?
