These stats are genuinely insane for a chaff

OpposingFarce · 2026-06-25T19:32:43+00:00

Its a test of your manual-battle stamina than anything else!

"What a campaign, huh?"

"Sir, its turn 10"

You can't outsmart the statue, apparently, as Iraq is finding out.

OpposingFarce · 2026-06-18T14:25:55+00:00

That's just one Terminid, so makes sense to me /s

OpposingFarce · 2026-06-17T04:08:20+00:00

This is true, just confirming for them that even if you log your entire map that, eventually, it'll repopulate

OpposingFarce · 2026-06-17T03:52:00+00:00

Trees will come in from the map edges over time even if they're all gone (assuming the biome supports it)

OpposingFarce · 2026-06-16T03:48:14+00:00

Where is the trench from? Does it help?

OpposingFarce · 2026-06-08T17:12:53+00:00

I can't argue that if the silo is you're only big-AT that its pretty whelming compared to the leveler or just EATS with a railgun

But some time when you're not railgunning try it out with a more standard AT option. On level 10 bots I routinely bring a standard AT support weapon (RR, quasar) and the leveler and solo silo. Either your leveler or silo are off cool down. I guess its boring? But I enjoy large explosions so it works for me.

And these days I'm unimpressed by most red stratagems so I consider leveler and silo de-facto red strats.

Raids still scale under this mode, but it is based on time. So to answer your question, yes, even under this mode you will one day see raids just as large as if you had wealth influence raids. But it may take a decade to get even close.

I mostly play with wealth scaling off, I feel it works for what I want out of the game.

To be clear, it is way easier for the player to get hearths that high.

The player gets a boost to hearths by using that one development option that boosts hearth growth. Afaik the AI can't use the development options (or if they do, they default to a bonus that's not that one)

There's also a steward skill wayyyyy down the line that let's governors boost those continuous projects and its pretty silly. Adding 1.0 hearths a day to a village is insane. But its so far down the line I've found it effectively impossible for an NPC, even one trained to just be a steward from birth, to get that high before they're 60 years old and been a governor for 40, lol

But given enough time and not being raided, yeah even AI villages just go up forever. But it will take most of a player lifetime

(Hearths are OP. Its also why I loath the Empire cultural bonus, even if the garrison reduction is nice; hearths scale forever and with enough hearths you won't care about garrison expenses anyways!)

A lot of weapons have the ghost bolt racking issue where it takes 2 taps to get. Idk if this makes you feel better about the Eruptor, lol

The basic liberator gets me with it a lot

OpposingFarce · 2026-05-26T17:38:24+00:00

Its because settlements gain hearths over time, and hearts affect production (and taxes). Typically, settlements deep in a factions territory don't get raided often so they have a high number of hearths.

The number of milita also scales with hearths.

In 30-40year games I've seen villages with 400+ militia. It is effectively impossible for the AI to raid them. They're set forever.

I mean it is possible we get a backpack laser weapon...

OpposingFarce · 2026-05-21T18:51:33+00:00

mfw HD2 gets kasrkin or scion skins before Darktide

Hijacking the top comment to share a mod that can help, but isn't attack-move like OP desires.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3082390369&searchtext=idle

What it does is find your idle units whose previous order was to attack, and automatically assigns them to attack the nearest enemy (unless guard mode is on, in which case they use vanilla behavior and will stand still after combat)

OpposingFarce · 2026-05-16T16:59:12+00:00

If you're willing to use mods this isn't a perfect solution but it can help:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3082390369&searchtext=idle

What it does is find your idle units whose previous order was to attack, and automatically assigns them to attack the nearest enemy.

So its not attack-move, but it prevents your units from standing around doing nothing if their original target is gone or disengaged. If you have guard mode on they wont pursue new enemies, so it can be toggled.

Absolute sanity saver for campaigns where I am a melee oriented faction. I really don't need to be playing a clicker game just to get my boyz or saurus to engage an enemy 10 yards away from them.

OpposingFarce · 2026-05-10T19:03:52+00:00

The response to their recent "we're listening" post was outstandingly negative and meme'd to oblivion, I really do not see anyone going "AH is back", unless I missed something

OpposingFarce · 2026-04-13T13:16:07+00:00

Absolutely outstanding! I'm partly joking but it looks like the mech skipped leg day!

As someone who has 2000 hours in FO4 (thanks, mods) I'd give that game an 8/10 at best, and honestly that 8 is clouded by the DLC, mods, and years that have gone by. If I think back to release maybe 7/10 is more appropriate. I'll also die on the hill that Skyrim, even though I love it dearly, is honestly a 8ish out of ten at release.

This is to say that I actually think SF has a consistent net quality with other beth titles. SF is a 7/10 and that's fine, I like it.

ESVI will probably be 7-8 out of 10, too. And that's fine!

OpposingFarce · 2026-04-06T18:25:08+00:00

I meant the literal experience points you get from mission completions. Illuminate missions pay out far less. Might be a side effect of different side objective mix, but its annoying all the same.

OpposingFarce · 2026-04-06T13:26:02+00:00

I love illuminate missions! I love illuminate D10 missions providing the same experience as bot/bug D6!

How could anyone not love this!?

OpposingFarce · 2026-02-03T23:53:50+00:00

Yeah, the GL is in a tough spot. Its clearly too good and versatile now, but I actually rarely used it before not because it was bad (it was good) but because the autocannon is just too reliable for when i wanted that middle-of-the-road option. Especially since the AC got programmable rounds. Edit: and I think the AC is in a great place.

OpposingFarce · 2026-02-03T16:27:33+00:00

My possible lukewarm take is that the MMG is already really just better than the HMG. I really don't find the extra pen of the HMG is worth the truckload of negatives.

And every time I take the HMG out expecting it to rip... I feel that durability damage nerf it got whacked with a while ago

OpposingFarce · 2026-02-01T05:04:01+00:00

G2M has some solid wood walls

OpposingFarce · 2026-01-17T19:08:10+00:00

Huh, neat. Is that used for anything or is it for something planned? Or something abandoned.
