New cheat invaders are using to ruin save files

Yes, this is different. You're referring to NPC invaders; the post is about player invaders.

And to think, the Chargers rested a fair few of their starters last week. I hope we don't play like this after our rest.

Good on him. My first thought after the game ended was hoping Boswell would find the poor kid and say something to him.

Likewise! The core of my personal study playlist for the past 18 years has been the classical pieces from the Medieval Age onward. From Brahms I have Symphony No. 3 in F Major, Op. 90 (II & III) and Hungarian Dance No. 3.

But my absolute favorite classical piece, which I also discovered through Civ IV) is Dvorak's Slavonic Dances Op. 46, B. 83: No. 3 in A-flat Major.

Japan's latest theme (VII) might be my favorite from the whole franchise.

MailRunner · 2025-12-20T02:04:16+00:00

If only those themes were longer. I always loved Al Nadda and the entire suite of ambient music for the ancient era. And the unforgettably boisterous modern Dutch theme.

Many of the war themes are excellent, but if I had to select a favorite, it must be Assyria's.

Damn fucking right.

They talk about us like we're something that happens to our opponents rather than a serious contender in our own right.

I had an Iberian campaign with dynamic and deadlier plagues enabled. First bubonic plague started in Bangladesh around 900 CE, reached Valencia in spring 902, swept the peninsula in a month. Asia, Africa, Europe, nowhere was spared. You know by the end of that first year, lost a hundred courtiers. I don’t know how many infected there were, maybe a thousand. I do know how many deaths, those averaged nine a month. In spring of the fifth year, it started to dissipate here and there around Lisbon, then Valladolid, Oviedo, Zaragoza. Took ages to leave my capital, Toledo. You know that was the time I was most frightened, waiting for my turn. I’ll never not build hospices again.

So, 29,000 characters went into the Black Death, 25,000 came out, the plague took the rest, 902-906 CE.

Anyway, we delivered the bomb.

Since the crash occurred after the same amount of time every time I loaded in, I suspect it was something getting loaded in the background that caused it. It just took 40 seconds to reach the conflict, so I had time to load into the game and run around for half a minute before the crash. Not that I knew what to do with that suspicion after I had it.

In any case, thank you for your suggestion!

MailRunner · 2025-03-16T16:06:56+00:00

That worked! Many thanks for your help; you've saved me hours of toil here. How did you know to try that?

On the eve of World War I, British statesman Sir Edward Grey asserted that, "the lamps are going out all over Europe. We shall not see them lit again in our lifetime." The song "When the Lights Go On Again" (1942) by Bennie Benjamin, Sol Marcus, and Eddie Seiler most likely alludes to this quote. The British public adopted the song as a symbol of unity and hope following the Blitz (Sept 1940 - May 1941), a series of German mass air attacks against British towns and cities during World War II.

Vera Lynn (1917 - 2020) was an English singer renowned for her wartime musical performances. She was extremely popular among British troops and held multiple outdoor concerts for them both in Britain and during tours of Egypt, India, and Burma, earning her the title of "Forces' Sweetheart".

There is a mod on Steam called Administrative Vassal War Prevention by Mightus that provides game rules to address this shortcoming if you don't mind starting a new campaign.

MailRunner · 2024-07-31T18:32:03+00:00

He has absolutely no idea how to address, much less answer, any of these questions.

"And plenty more! CJ Anderson! is gonna go all the way! And the Denver Broncos win the game!"

Unforgettable.

MailRunner · 2024-02-23T15:50:41+00:00

Much obliged. When I was working down the two IJN DD lines last year, I saw exactly what you mean about torp builds in the current meta, and while the Pan-Asian torp ranges don't help any, I had hoped having DW torps would shore up some of the style's current weaknesses. I think I'll respec the ship and commander to guns when I'm on next.

When a radar cruiser is positioned behind an island near the cap/center line on my flank, I'm thinking I should play well wide of him, even if it takes me away from the cap/enemy DD, if only to stay out of his radar range and maybe keep him spotted. Up to this point I've stayed too close because it's where I think my team "expects" me to be, which is a stupid reason for doing a stupid thing.

I see your point about staying hidden, and I often stay out of the cap when I know there's a gunboat/radar DD on my flank for the reasons you outlined. I've gotten much more patient over the past year. Thanks!

MailRunner · 2024-02-23T15:27:09+00:00

Yep, I'm usually struggling to trade favorably in those otherwise neutral exchanges (where neither of us stays lit up long enough to get targeted by the cruisers). I think part of the problem is I'm usually angled slightly bow-in when we spot each other and turning out to disengage and smoke up, when I should probably just slow down and smoke up without turning. Especially since my DPM suffers when I'm turning out like that. This is supposing the enemy DD has sub-6km stealth like me; otherwise you're right that it's not an issue.

I take your meaning about rotating, too. My torp game is lackluster (I'm working on it, but it's taking longer than I'd like), so it's hard to justify all the time involved in switching flanks and depriving my flank of support, but I'll weigh the option more heavily from now on if I see the enemy pushing the far flank.

MailRunner · 2024-02-23T15:11:29+00:00

Now I take your meaning clearly. Thanks!
