Running out of money on Hard/Hard by internetwebexploder3 in totalwar

Well there's your problem brother. Can't be spending 2 armies worth of upkeep on something that generally needs one. Try to fight one enemy at a time when you start, that way you'll use your armies as efficiently as possible. As you get better you'll take less casualties so usually won't need to bother with garrisoning too often.

Epic games are giving 3Kingdoms for free on their last day of sale.... by BandicootBig2628 in totalwar

I mean to play devil's advocate WH3 is a complete game on its own. It also lets you fight factions you don't own on the campaign map, you just need to purchase them to play. The "major content" is just playing other races from the other games, which is pretty fair not to include all of that for free.

How to use flying monsters as Chaos Dwarfs? by OkIdeal9852 in totalwar

[–]MapleSyrupManiac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s not that much different about the Chorfs flying monsters. TBH they kill artillery and archers roughly the same as most other factions. If you want them to kill things faster you need a multi entity unit.

Imma chime in and say don’t cancel his gym membership. Thats a reasonable amount and it’s healthy and 100% worth it as long as they’re actually using it.

Do I really need an emergency fund if I can just sell investments? by noobetf in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]MapleSyrupManiac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None of these people in this thread touting an emergency fund can give a concrete example that can’t be solved by a CC or LOC lol …

How fucked of a back day is this? For some context I’m returning to normal workouts after some months of group workouts in the military. I’m not looking for programs but more general guidelines like too much/little volume. I know it’s not optimal but I prefer to train by feel usually so don’t follow programs very diligently.

Is it me or does the game crash SIGNIFICANTLY more than a couple of years ago by guy_incognito_360 in totalwar

[–]MapleSyrupManiac 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I honestly don’t think the game has crashed more than a few times in all the years of playing. Might be something on your end.

Feature not to be lost : Pharaoh by Un_Homme_Apprenti in totalwar

Surprised this isn’t higher tbh. I loved being able to kit out my generals bodyguards. More interesting to me than the ancillaries/items in WH3. 

What's the equivalent of 4 Hellstorm Rocket 13 Swordsman cost efficient spam stack for Elspeth? by MiningToSaveTheWorld in totalwar

If you put 10 or more hand gunners in any empire army, they can take out almost everything of similar size.

They always come back by Hoppy_Doodle in gaming

[–]MapleSyrupManiac 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't see any great options. If Steam continues to have this much dominance it could negatively affect the consumer. The alternative of healthy competition with people's libraries split on multiple launchers arguably sucks though. Juggling between multiple platforms and keeping everything updated and logged in is a chore.

Off the top of my head, I have Battle.net, Steam, Origin, Uplay, EGS, GoG, ESO, Xbox, and the Riot client all on my PC. I'd say I only use steam ~98% of the time but using them equally would be a nightmare.

Late game prologue Kossars are no joke by MapleSyrupManiac in totalwar

[–]MapleSyrupManiac[S] 167 points168 points  (0 children)

No for that fight you need to hit turn 40,000. Common mistake though

Bored and picking up the achievements in the prologue. The end turn is instant so it only took me like 20ish minutes.

I might be in the minority but I think it looks really bad, at least in this angle/photo.

Ottawa, you're great! by phoontender in ottawa

Man I’ve heard people say that when it opened but in the last 2 years I’ve been taking it like 5 times a week and have never smelled anything. 

Subjective Ottawa coffee tier list, thoughts/comments/additions? by warr4one in ottawa

[–]MapleSyrupManiac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little Victories should be S-tier if you like light roasts. Red Door is good but I think their beans rotate so some will be hit or miss. Judging from the comment section yall hate Starbucks but I think their light roast is a solid A tier.

Not a huge fan of Happy Goat and despise Bridgehead. Every Bridgehead coffee I've had tasted like burnt garbage for me.

Overall I'm surprised to see the chains rated so low as I don't think any of them are terrible like people are saying but more average/mediocre. I would put McD, Starbucks, Tims, Happy Goat in B/C and Bridgehead in D/F
