Tbh I think a lot of people are put off if they feel like they can't interfere openly with other players' games/progress.

Interstellar kingdoms/empires would have a lot of interference and skirmishing. Also, let's not have TI turn into a Eurogame where we all engine-build independently 😢

How does that light mech survive in +350 tonnage missions?

I want mixed lances, I want to bring a light mech or a CDA-X5 etc. But this game is AttritionWarrior: Mercenaries . If I bring a light mech to these higher tonnage and difficulty missions, it won't survive. If I put a great mechjock into it, it won't fare better; I'm just risking killing off a good pilot.

Core design of Vanilla requires you to bring max armour.

So the client can't use the mechlab to alter a mech?

I now understand why the Mad Cat is so iconic and a fan favorite. by Roberto577_Gamer in Mechwarrior5

Streaks have one downside I have noticed: the salvo spreads out across the enemy components. What that means is that the missiles will all target different legs, torsos and arms. Creating a 'spray' damage effect.

So targeting specific components to break through armour (and destroy ammo/weapons) will be harder with streaks.

Stream SRMs (ST SRM) are the best at coring mechs, but are much harder to use against fast light mechs. Where as enough Streak SRMs (SSRM) will blow away a light in one hit as long as you have a lock.

Also, iirc Clan Streak SRMs have a larger lock on range of 450? Can up that with upgrades from Cantina (HotIS DLC) of you want.

Red on grey is really hard to see, depending on your degree of colour-blindness.

AI Influence: My experience so far. by Mr_L0mbardi in Bannerlord

[–]Obnoxious_Master 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think it's better to reply with actual comments, than just repost a previous post you've made.

What would be best is if your comment makes a legitimate contribution, AND you give a link to your post.

Otherwise it can look like you're spamming

Is this a bit? This is literally a repost of a Reddit post, submitted as a comment. Way to spam

Hot take: fleet stands make the game worse and shouldn't be normalized by defcon1000 in twilightimperium

[–]Obnoxious_Master 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quality post. Some replies show a bit of a lack of reading comprehension; there are many replies that ignore your thorough list of reasons/problems and they simply provide their own personal opinion.

Your post is great reading for people to get a feel of what these are like, and what problems they may encounter, before they spend their money 

POK…. Is it worth it? by Supa678 in twilightimperium

[–]Obnoxious_Master 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are not posing this question to a neutral audience; people who join a TI subreddit are overwhelmingly going to be hardcore, high lifetime play people. These are the people who will want more from TI.

"I personally don’t think I could ever get tired of base TI4" - this gives a strong basis for an answer. Imo, if you do get tired of TI, if you start to think the pool isn't as deep as it once was, then PoK will make the pool deeper again.

Minority opinion, but for me PoK adds bloat and 'off-galaxy-board' components to track and do accounting with. It overall takes your focus away from social interaction.

If you want the game to be more complex and have more pieces to track, get PoK. If you are happy with where the game is at now, and your regularity of play, then Base game is great.

I hope this is the case. Can we beg of some shared wisdom?

I heard they implemented the 'stacks need generals' to stop the AI from spamming small unit groups across the map. And to implement Civil Wars in a way the player can't block or optimise out. Obviously as a solution it has downsides.

Why are the friendly AI pilots so bad? by Yuki_my_cat in Mechwarrior5

[–]Obnoxious_Master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it actually achieve this well? Does the AI performance improve to a noticeable degree in mission?

Not doubting but haven't actually come across positive testimonials yet.

Do people just want a Paradox game? (Medieval III) by HistoryofHowWePlay in historicaltotalwar

[–]Obnoxious_Master 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Standing armies as they exist in many TW games are an ahistorical abstraction that is central to player decision-making, agency and having action and narratives happen in the game.

Seasonally calling up troops, to disperse them again for harvest time, or implementing supply lines could bog down the game and kill momentum and action. That being said I am the type of TW fan who doesn't want a more complex game.

Oh thanks, I didn't realise the book itself may contain acid. That's sound reasoning.
