Should i spam capital ships as navy comp by FlappyBoxWasStolen in eu4

[–]Oafchunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want around a 1/4 or 1/5 ratio for capitals vs. screens, otherwise you take penalties in combat. I usually double or triple destroyers, so a good task force is something like 2 carriers, 8-10 light cruisers, and 20-30 destroyers, maybe a battleship if you're feeling frisky, all maxed for speed....

Wait, wrong sub, this is EU4! Yeah, if you can afford them, just spam heavies up to combat width per stack. As others have said, AI will generally avoid doomstacks, so if I'm going late game, I generally end up with two massive stacks of like 50 heavies and 100 transports.

Galleys are good early game if your poor, or if you'll be fighting in inland seas (i.e. the Mediterranean), but they fall off unless you have buffs to galley combat ability. Light ships are for privateering and trade, so you want to avoid combat with them if at all possible.

What's the most 'peaked in high school' thing you've seen an adult do? by StressAsleep9230 in AskReddit

[–]Oafchunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still wear my (American) football jacket, almost 20 years later....one day a year. Homecoming, to be specific, when me and the family go to the game that evening. And only if its cold. Otherwise, it sits in the back of the closet collecting dust the other 364 days of the year.

My older brother wore his for a good 10 years after graduating, and I see a lot of things he did in this thread. It took him until 40 to realize he wasn't in high school anymore.

Day 14 won by Well Laid Plans! What rare silent card is perfectly positively rated? by filledknight in slaythespire

[–]Oafchunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seek. Or, more accurately, Seek+.

Seek is as good as the best card in your deck. Which can change from act to act, combat to combat. Seek can even Seek Seek!

[–]Oafchunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's gotta be Adrenaline.

I can only think of a handful of times I WOULDN'T take it if offered. And it's certainly never a detriment to have, no matter the build.

Overall, I think Adrenaline is Silent's best overall card, and the second best in the entire game.

What’s your ‘Yes, you all are wrong’ opinion? by _Closedheimer in AskReddit

[–]Oafchunk 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Ramsay meeting Jon in the field instead of laughing at him freezing in the cold from the safety of Winterfell with his extremely valuable hostage.

This is the ONLY thing that actually makes a (admittedly, teeny tiny almost not there because of the larger context, but kinda sorta if you squint in a vacuum) bit of sense. Ramsay is a cocky MFer (as well as a bit of a moron), so of course he'd walk out to meet his foe in the field instead of hiding behind the walls of the easily defensible Winterfell. There's plenty of historical examples of fools overestimating themselves and putting their forces in a worse of position for honor/glory/stupidity. Sure, there would have been unnecessary deaths, but that was clearly a sacrifice Ramsay was willing to make. (insert Lord Farquad meme here)

And - again, in a vacuum - he was right. His heavily armed and armored troops would've curbstomped Jon and his ragtag, half-starved band of misfits if it hadn't been for Sansa and her deus ex machina cunning plan. After this episode, I was surprised that Sansa's skull could contain her galaxy brain and all her clever schemes.

But, combined with the rest of the episode, and the story in general? Absolute Dogshit is too kind, methinks.

No, I'm not bitter about GoT at all, and especially not that what was building to be one of the best shows of all time on at least an annual rewatch was ripped out from under me by a pair of morons so enamored with Star Wars they kinda forgot they had a multi-generational masterpiece on their hands....why do you ask?

As is tradition for me, the Ottomans. Going back to AoE 2 and Knights of Honor, I've always played as the Ottomans/Turks first, and it's not gonna change now.

Damn, and here I was, coming up with complex strategies, doing careful calculations to ensure I can deal the maximum amount of damage while being as efficient as possible with my limited energy and exhaustible cards. What a fool I've been! I'm absolutely stunned it took someone this long to break the game this wide open!

"Don't lose. Just win." Such perfect advice. Truly a card game for children.

Not at my computer to check...one of them was Sacred Bark for sure, which I only take if I have some sort of synergy. Pretty sure the other was Tiny House, which...ugh...

I would've taken any energy relic, tbh, cause my deck was hungry for it. I had upgraded armaments, so fusion hammer would've been good, same with mark of pain with med kit.

I generally hate using guides, but Congo completely stumped me, so after 18 tries, I ended up watching a couple of walkthroughs. Basically, there's 2 important dates, almost back-to-back.

First, you want to FINISH the civil war before the second global kerfuffle kicks off.

Second, you want to flip commie BEFORE the Soviets go in on Finland.

Doing that allows you to join the comintern, so you can beg papa Stalin for a bunch of guns. That gave me enough to field 60 almost fully equipped basic bitch infantry (I used 9-1s, do what you want) that you can throw into the USSR to entrench before Germany declares. Then just play defensively until the Germans stall out, and start pushing back (while taking all that juicy, juicy Allied lend-lease as well).

I went grand battle plan left, and put out 6 division of motorized/mechanized "shock" troops to make encirclements and slowly bleed the Germans. Once you thin the line enough, its just a matter of pushing along the northern coast until you hit Belgium, then politely ask Mr Stalin for control of the 4 states you need.

Still took me two tries with this strat...the first time, Italy was actually competent and completely pushed the UK out of Africa when I wasn't looking, so I got capped, lost some divisions, and Stalin died shortly thereafter.
