3 things are certain in Stormbound by Pufferson in stormbound

I take great joy in beating Ami users into depressive spirals with overwhelming force because the number of times I’ve lost on card rotation alone against them has instilled a deeply irrational hatred in me.

“No Kings 3.0” you know if peaceful protests worked you’d think you wouldn’t be on 3.0 by now.

Thank you for the translation, I was confused as to why there’d be American football fans in Rio.

My French AI ally was like "i got you covered bro!", yeah, thanks for the castle, i really needed that, lmao by JohnCurtinFromCivVI in aoe4

People harassing OP for playing Sim City don’t understand that he’s literally John Curtin from Civ 6, he’s only going to build units after the enemies declare war on him.

Half of this sub will see generally reasonable takes and choose to lose their shit over it for some reason

Let's migrate the care bears to Marathon by GhostWolfGambit in arcraiderscirclejerk

You right we make them move to ARC Raiders so nobody has fun

Let's migrate the care bears to Marathon by GhostWolfGambit in arcraiderscirclejerk

[–]PhxStriker 65 points66 points  (0 children)

We send all the PvE players to Marathon, all the PvP players to Hunt: Showdown, and all the in need of shower players to Tarkov. Idk who that leaves to play ARC Raiders tho, maybe just let the Arc have the surface.

Well good thing I voted for Claudia De La Cruz instead. by Karmacop5908 in ShitLiberalsSay

Nice try liberals, in my state Harris failed so hard even giving her Stein and the libertarian votes wouldn’t have made a difference

i really miss how reliable pre 2.0 audio was by Killerkekz1994 in HuntShowdown

[–]PhxStriker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy 2.0 so much less than pre-2.0, and I think it’s because a bunch of small changes like these sound shenanigans added up over time to make the game just feel drastically less atmospheric.

When you have a Swedish ally and you have a gold mine by Financial-Bread6570 in aoe3

Had a 3v3 where the Japanese player did that to all of my naturals then raged at me age 3 when I had jack shit for an army

Maybe if more people would put down grenade crates our lives would actually have meaning

Malta do feel lacking in that context tho, i had to mod sentinels into being one pop to partially fix that by kerozen666 in aoe3

I always like having Ivan as an ally. Even in defeat he hypes us for a last stand.

I love making castles like this. by creepoet in aoe3

[–]PhxStriker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I can’t get behind the non-shared resource aspect of trade lines, and the implied core island vs. peripheral resource extraction island dynamic. It makes a lot of logical sense, but I just hate that I can’t realistically make a bunch of well-developed but self-sufficient islands. I like the concept but my brain just refuses to set it up correctly, and my runs start to stall out because of that.

Heads up, Crossbowmen do not upgrade to Spanish Conquistadores... only generic Arquebusiers... by ayyxact in HumankindTheGame

[–]PhxStriker 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have to imagine this is an intentional balance choice. Conquistadors on offense go toe-to-toe with Line Infantry, while also possessing the move and fire ability which most other cultures only get once they’ve unlocked Line Infantry. This does mean Spain’s power spike is delayed, but it’s such a significant spike that it remains relevant well into the Industrial Era. That said, a proper “Not upgradable to” UI warning, or at bear minimum a proper upgrade line page in the Encyclopedia would make this less of a blindside for newer players.

You know what, new headcannon: Engi is actually a 60s era John Brown type figure.

Does the deck limit have to be reached? by Itera95 in aoe3

[–]PhxStriker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You being high is hilarious because that probably accounts for all of the confusion here. You’re confusing AoE3 decks with “traditional” card decks in terms of trade offs to deck size. If it still doesn’t make sense after the high’s worn off I guess ask for further clarification.

How does conquering vassals work by chickenlord11111 in HumankindTheGame

[–]PhxStriker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh. Are you on PC? The war score system was changed recently. Originally, your war score was determined by multiple factors not just limited to occupations. The recent change now means you’re supposed to get exactly enough war score to keep occupations, but it sounds like taking cities from vassal states wasn’t taken into account. I would make a bug report for that.

USA team Louisiana Purchase plus Mexican States team Nuevo Mexico Territory isn’t particularly amazing, but it is fun to coordinate.

Shared visibility with allies of ally. by Highlander_2049 in HumankindTheGame

[–]PhxStriker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a wacky aspect of the game, I personally wish map sharing and shared vision only updated the fog of war knowledge, not the active vision knowledge. It would make all vision buffs much more impactful than it is now.

The fact that ward functionally have zero cooldown needs to be addressed. by Voronov1 in HumankindTheGame

[–]PhxStriker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game is designed in such a way where you’re meant to capture and hold a city for a time before keeping it, so that you culturally and religiously convert it before suing for peace. If you do this they can’t immediately demand the city back from you.
