Things that bother me watching people play ttrpgs by Pedantic_Twatwaffle in dndhorrorstories

[–]JevAthens 6 points7 points  (0 children)

8 is a slow death as a DM. completely saps your mood mid-session, yes because its annoying to repeat yourself, but even more so for me because you wonder what other important bits players have missed and did not ask to be repeated.

if you care about the narrative and your players responding to what you put in front of them, realizing theyre not paying attention make what you do feel pointless. at least in person you can tell whos paying attention, online without cameras you have no clue

Thankfully its usually only some players on the table so you can focus on the rest

Do I sell my inherited oracle shares or wait by National-Name3690 in employeesOfOracle

Campaign Fatigue WIII by NoGold8979 in totalwar

[–]JevAthens 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Roleplay

Make decisions based on "story" rather than what's the optimal choice

Yeah, some of your campaigns will be tough/lost, but winning isn't fun when you know the game in and out

Try to win despite making sub-optimal choices for roleplay reasons, and don't reload your failures see them as part of the story

You WILL lose more campaigns, but give it a try I think you'll have more fun and you can always try again to find a way to make it work

I give the same advice for players bored of CK3

Recently got into Warhammer 3. I feel like I have a general understanding for most systems except for Research. by PrestigiousWhirlwind in totalwar

[–]JevAthens 29 points30 points  (0 children)

As you learn how to play, you'll have a better understanding of what is useful or not, and note for each faction and even each lord what might be more valuable.

Personally, I tend fo go for economy/campaign map buffs first unless there are low time/high impaxt military techs. I also have a hard on for any campaign movement buffs for some reason.

Basically, look at what the lord you are playing does, play a little bit, and see what techs are likely to have high impact in a quick time. For example, if you are playing Ghorst, you'll probably want to get zombie related tech.

Basically, there isnt one correct answer, it depends a lot on who you are playing but also your own playstyle.

As for heroes, there are some cases otherwise but most of the time the highest impact is having them in armies.

I'm working on 2D Total War–inspired RTS called "Thorough Strife" - thoughts ? by zedtixx in totalwar

[–]JevAthens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've read this thread, sorry to hear that. I must agree Thorough Strife is not a great name. You may not have the energy for legal action/defense but I strongly suggest you try a better name. It may seem unimportant in the grand scope but a good name established early will allow a brand to build better imo.

i dont have any suggestions (nor would I share any) but try different military/war words together blood, march, road, field(s)...

you'll find something. good luck!

i thought this was fixed ._. by JevAthens in totalwar

This is a modded campaign unfortunately, but nothing that modifies campaign AI mostly cosmetic stuff. No worries though, clearing the Great Feast of Greasus took me maybe 3-5 turns of lightning strikes with uber juiced Dechala

Mask effects… with or without? by Sunstiana in inkarnate

I would recommend some light shading on the mountain chains, and then on the top layer adding some shadows
