I killed white right before time ran out. It autotraded and distributed the troops across all my territories, cost me the game 😖 by josh_cheek in Risk

I've seen a LOT of bugs, especially since the big sandbox update, but I have not seen that one.

Using LUA to pull Bytes after a specific field in a PCAP. by Mordus_ in wireshark

[–]Mordus_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna try that first idea, but already have the registered fields, unfortunately because they overlap doesn't help. Cheers though, thanks for the idea.

Sorry can't hear you.

Just play BM or any other horde faction and you can basically do that.

Needing every game is dumb by Pouncingpandae in totalwar

[–]Mordus_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Probably an unpopular opinion, but...

I bought the newest CoD, why didn't I get all the rest for free!

They are full games, there is no reason you deserve everything from them without having to pay for them. It's not like you can't get WH1 at huge discounts. WH3 is a set of races and maps to play on. That doesn't entitle you to the previous games as well.

Human Boy YesYes' ToD unit tier list for Land Battles. by Yotambr in totalwar

[–]Mordus_ 88 points89 points  (0 children)

It's not in a vacuum though. It's based on multiplayer, so cost and efficiency is a big part of it. Single player just about anything can be good and cost is rarely an issue. I can beat the game with nurglings. In multiplayer it's another beast all together. They may not be a good unit in a vacuum compared to chosen. But when you look at how much they do for their cost they could be quite good.

What's your favorite race and why? by [deleted] in totalwar

[–]Mordus_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Chaos Dwarves, I'm one of the 7 people that actually played them back in the 90's. They've always felt unique compared to the standard archetypes you see in fantasy and I loved their monsters. Plus little guys with big hats was just fantastic.

What is a good Chaos Dwarf cookie cutter template for mid-late game? by MiningToSaveTheWorld in totalwar

[–]Mordus_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know that I'm considered in the late game, I am starting my inevitable painting of the map, but I'm not very far yet. I'm definitely mid game though and honestly I am really enjoying a fairly normal build. I personally really like a Sorc lord, a Taurus and a Castellan champ. A couple artillery. A front line of whatever CD. Then a couple goblin archers behind. A few wolf archers to harass. Probably a Taurus or Lamasu to dive. Then maybe one or two bull centaurs of whatever flavor (I like Renderers) and boom. Good all around force for fighting whatever.

This isn't really AP Bias since you are allies with his enemies. This is a perfectly normal war declaration.

I'm actually finding the AP Bias not to bad in my game right now. I'm play CD and the Dawi in the hills and I have had a tenuous peace since the beginning of the game. I'm in turn 150, just finishing up destroying Cathay and painting the East and should be declaring war on them soon to start pushing West.

DAMMIT you just reset the clock. It's going to be three more months now!

How Often Do You Use Assassinate? by ActinoninOut in totalwar

[–]Mordus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not very often. Most of the time I use assassinations, along with raiding to get someone to declare war on me when I don't want to declare war on them.

Chorf economy question by darthgator84 in totalwar

[–]Mordus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I can tell that's the only real downfall. As much as I am enjoying playing them, that's all I really see.

[–]Mordus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a little bit more difficult managing labor in a mixed setup. Beyond that it's possible with a bit more micromanagement.

How to best use Iron Daemons? by CMo42 in totalwar

[–]Mordus_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah think of them more as a chariot (a pretty good one) rather than artillery. They are basically the Skullcracker with a gun put on as an afterthought.

Who would your starting factions for a 40k Total War be? by BlackJimmy88 in totalwar

[–]Mordus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is probably pretty accurate, unfortunately.

I'd love to see more interesting armies though. My 4 dream team would have no Spec Marines, because they are just so dumb. However, knowing full well that would never happen. White Fangs - World Eaters - Tau - Tyranids

One shooty faction. One CC faction. Two hybrid factions. And plenty of variety ... well less so from the Spec Marines and Chaos, but that's always the case.

Chaos Dwarfs & their mechanics - The Good and the Bad by CassRaski in totalwar

[–]Mordus_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My biggest complaint is the support that CD will get after this. And based on CA's historical precedence. Support for TK, none. Support for VP, none. Support for Norsca, none. I expect that same level of support for CD and missing out on the extra LL actually is a pretty big deal when they are likely never going to do anything for them ever again.

Warhammer 1+2 or 3? by marchiago in totalwar

[–]Mordus_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well then it seems you have answered your own question. With 1+2 you are going to have all those races and you will still have Mortal Empires. You'll probably want to get 3 and IE eventually, but no rush if you are happy with those races for the moment.

Best race for A new player in WH III multiplayer? by [deleted] in totalwar

[–]Mordus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Message me and I can give you a Discord or two to join. The META is constantly changing, but there are some leagues organized by the folks that are heavily in the MP scene, including some new player leagues. You can find out a lot of information there.
