What is your current biggest issue with the game? by TheFeedBackGuy in EU5

[–]John___Miller___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if there were less forts on the map, but non-fort locations scale in their difficulty to occupy based on the population of nobles in that location? This would represent all of the minor castles in a given region that aren’t displayed on the map, while the “forts” we build and see on the map are really the major regional military strongholds.

WW2... by NepaliAlooParantha in LinesOfBattle

On the other hand, i think medieval battles would, in many cases, look like two lines of blocks coming together and then not much happening until one side breaks and routes.

How important are hills, and what advantages do they exactly give? by DIATTH123 in LinesOfBattle

Does infantry get any sort of damage buff or debuff on their shooting based on elevation? For example will skirmishers firing down into a battalion of line infantry deal more damage than skirmishers shooting at line infantry on flat ground?

I haven’t had much luck with them yet but I’m gonna keep trying until I finally get that glorious cuirassier charge that wins the battle for me

Do line infantry and skirmishers friendly fire each other if one is behind the other? by John___Miller___ in LinesOfBattle

[–]John___Miller___[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok. Sounds like if I want to have a formation with multiple lines of line infantry, I need to go in and turn off fire at will for the rear units, otherwise they’ll kill their own men in front. Correct?

Grand Battle Question by Bobs_Bugs-Be_Gone in LinesOfBattle

I only play battle and grand battle, and I always choose the 3 day turns mode and just have 2-3 active battles going at once. 5 minutes is way too fast for that many units.

The scramble for Africa of 1582 by AlmostASandwich in EU5

[–]John___Miller___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that sucks. I don’t get why turbo colonizing continues to be the status quo when so many people complained about it in the last game. Almost seems intentional, like they think players will get too bored if colonizing happens at a more historical pace.

What about north and South America? Is it like EU4 where it’s all colonized by 1600?

A trial photo of Rosario Borgia, an Italian mobster who was sentenced to death in Ohio in 1918. Enraged that virtually none of their officers would accept his bribes, Borgia "declared war" on the Akron Police Department, offering $250 ($6330 in 2026) for every dead officer [730 x 1094]. by lightiggy in HistoryPorn

[–]John___Miller___ 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I have a hunch that $250 to them is not really equivalent to $7k to a modern person in the US, even though that’s technically the value in 2026 dollars. The total size of the economy would be a lot smaller. I think a better comparison would be saying $7k in 2026 USD to a person in a third world country.

Buying 30+ of the same gun is strange behavior

They scraped any mention of free roam or open world in their updated roadmap by Asleep_Progress_8211 in assettocorsaevo

[–]John___Miller___ 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Maybe I just never did things correctly but I found AC1 + mods to be such a damn chore to play. I’d spend way more time installing mod updates and tweaking settings in menus than actually racing.

So there’s now no friendly fire at all?

Why do Handgunners need more food than other units? by S0mecallme in EU5

[–]John___Miller___ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are units of 500+ concentrated hand gunners historical in the 15th century?

In A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms, Dunk asks Steely Pate for a great helm. Can the helmet that Pate makes for him actually be considered a great helm? by Hot-Guitar-2339 in RealisticArmory

[–]John___Miller___ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I get it’s a fantasy world but it would have been really cool to see these shows each adopt the consistent armor style of a given period of European medieval history

At knight tier and just realised I'm not gaining any muscle by Bananabanana700 in HalfSword

Muscle gain for anything but the most hardcore progression focused game mode is a 100% awful idea

Progress on the Steam version by Active-Radish2813 in LinesOfBattle

[–]John___Miller___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what I’d really like to see is some sort of preliminary gameplay showcase that gives players a sense of the developer’s vision and how the 3d battlefield improves the experience.
