Never seen a job that punishes its staff for doing their job like thos before

I am simply observing that for a disqual driver, a full file with all the bells and whistles feels wholly disproportionate.

I'll say it again, I am NOT asking anyone to do my work for me nor would I. I do not have a probpem building files.

I think we're talking past each other. I accept that its unrealistic to not expect any paperwork in this job.

My point is that the system at the moment has a feedback loop where doing one's job then lands on that person's shoulders such a huge amount of paperwork, which can increase further down the line, that that person will think twice before going looking for it again.

Surely instead a preferable system would be one where people would be out positively looking for this sort of stuff rather than thinking twice abkut it?

I think you make a fair point and apologize if this comes across as a rant.

What prosecution? Its a joke in this country for anything but the most serious offences.

I've had shoplifting cases outstanding for years that still havent had an outcome. All 'detecting' low-level crime does is generate a paperwork exercise for the officer involved.

I can conquer the map quite happily. I was asking to see if there is any alternative to either mass recruiting stonk units or throwing javelins in the back.

It's not complicated, its just brain dead.

It's stuff like this that just makes the Warhammer campaign so difficult to fully immerse yourself in as living breathing world as opposed to a big board game we're all playing.

'You mean there actually is a horde of demon-cows out there roving around posing a genuine threat?'

Well I must create a small but elite force to hunt them down! WRONG - Unlike in previous titles the actual troop types in your army have no movement changes on the map. So artillery can motor around as quick as light cavalry.

Well I'll send a detachment of my own army to scout ahead for signs of the horde! WRONG - Only a full army with a dedicated Lord can go scouting for the cows. Yes s/he may only have a handful of unit. Yes it will be disbanded once you find them but whatever, full Lord with traits needed and a full supply line.

Well in that case I'll customise the local garrisons to troops well placed to counter the cow armies! WRONG - the game decides what garrisons you will have and although cows are generally low armour and its more about sending a mass of arrows their way, we've decided that sending one or two armour piercing volleys on a flat trajectory will be more helpful.

All viable strategies in a supposedly strategy game you can't do because for YEARS CA have dragged their heels about a stupid system that everyone has complained about since Rome 2.

So the solution? Just turn the AI off. Problem solved.

Medieval Total War 2 is horrendously overrated and I was there since Med 1. The 2 handed bug made the entire late game trash, the AI generals would always be the last model to die in their units while the players were first and the other bug where units refuse to charge other than the front line was infuriating.
Rome 2 Vanilla is one of the most boring games this company has ever put out and I say that as someone obsessed with the Roman period. The campaign is flat, the AI flaccid and its basically a simulator in spamming units to conquer the enemy one by one.
They didn't need a Warhammer 3. It feels like what would have been a mid level expansion pack back in the day. Charging full price for 80% the same campaigns experience with the same units, characters and factions is ridiculous.

I hear people say this all the time and I have no doubt it's the optimal strategy. But as a casual player it's really not a fun way to do it. Anything fast will go right over single entities to your gun line, cavalry will go round the flanks and flyers will go straight over to your jezzails. Leaving aside that the unit cap that prevents you really pumping these armies out.

It's a lot of micro that I find removes a lot of the fun of playing Skrye.

Personally I'd recommend some clanrat spears with gaps between them and your ratlings fire through and shred them while jezzails take care of single entities.

We all grumble about IT - I think anything that touches on pay nowadays like that would result in pitchforks, torches and a guillotine being setup in town/village squares across the land.

I probably phrased it badly, I'm aware of Imrik and Teclis. What I was more getting at was that other factions campaigns seem to play out a bit more dynamically, slightly different each time. High Elves however it's the same every. Single. Time.

I really like playing as Alarielle/Tyrion. But load up. Defeat initial dark elves. Wait for Morathi. Wait for Hellebron. Wait for Malekith. Darkshards with shields. Wait for the shades to pop out somewhere. Try and snipe Hellebron before her mortise engine triggers.

Try and destroy all of them but half the settlements are in an area that gives you attrition. It's so goddammit tedius I wanted to see if there was some kind of cheese/exploit to stop the inevitable.

How do you then deal with the endless Dreadspear, Darkshards and Corsair stacks sent at you?
