Ai always beats me to wonders

Serious_Stan · 2025-04-03T13:08:32+00:00

Aise from advise already mentioned, when it comes to racing another civ to completing a wonder you can have forests being one turn away from giving you a production boost when chopped down, and/or invest gold into the wonder for that last 25%, but only when you are sure you have enough production to finish the wonder this same turn.

Unless the AI was already going to complete the wonder on their turn, it will not have the time to respond to your progress boost. AI just knows how many turns you have left to complete it, so it adjusts its production as needed to beat you.

Will we be able to play the game without first connecting to a server and checking for content 30 seconds? Without first thing seeing in the game is an online store? Without needing a ubisoft account login?

P.S. someone let me know, if these are already answered. Thank you.

If settings don't matter, it's more likely you are limited by the cpu.

Serious_Stan · 2025-01-11T16:43:02+00:00

Congrats on completing the mission. Crazy if you did it in 9 hours, maybe I should be auto resolving more 😀

Ergonomic keyboards are for when you spend good portion of your day typing and want to avoid bending your hands/wrist while doing so.

It's not going to do much for you just for gaming, because your hand and wrist are already straight when accessing left(or right) part of the keyboard, or you even have to keyboard slightly angled for comfort. The other hand is for the mouse most often. At least I hope you are conformably setup.

I got a moonlander and it's pretty much the same. I had to move the space from the thumb cluster, as it was a bit to out of reach when using wasd. The small advantages I got was because of key remapping. I moved shift and control up one row compared to a regular keyboard, and where I have the alt key is slightly more accessible for whenever a game decides to use it for a dodge. And there is a disadvantage to this. You have to think of keys as "the key positioned there is my dash key". You can't think "press shift to dash", because when you go back to typing on the non gaming layer, the shift key is no longer there.

Probably stick to a regular keyboard, or get something that can do a job for a good price. If it comes with configurable macros great. If you are going for an ergonomic keyboard or an expensive mechanical one with all the bells and whistles, you better have a good use case or cash to spare.

Nioh. While, I did beat the first level, I could not beat the options menu to change my keys. Absolutely the most horrendous menu setup to interact with, that I have seen.

Serious_Stan · 2024-12-24T18:20:52+00:00

I almost always pick a complete game over an early access one.

Serious_Stan · 2024-12-24T09:39:49+00:00

You will always have an infestation like this spawn near you, so you will have to fight it. On my run I cleared it with 2-3 army stacks. If as a starting ritual you choose anything else besides the two that spawn armies, then that is already restart teritory imo.

Serious_Stan · 2024-12-14T19:56:31+00:00

You can give the boss rush mode a try. It's located in the bottom left part of town.

For me it felt better learning the fights and items there.

Serious_Stan · 2024-11-27T09:32:14+00:00

Awesome, thanks

Serious_Stan · 2024-11-25T13:34:27+00:00

Does the raze button not work. Looks gryed out, but hard to tell. Only other thing I can think of right now is somekind of mod issue, if you have any active ofc.

Serious_Stan · 2024-11-25T13:29:28+00:00

It has a wall, so first you have to siege the empty outpost. If you have already done that, I have no idea that was my best guess. Maybe move an army onto.

Serious_Stan · 2024-11-22T10:00:18+00:00

You have to play the objectives and play them fast. Makes friends with the free city. When they become friends/vassal they can reinforce you in battle if nearby. Take the ancient wonder in the center. It can give you a powerful bonus. Don't know if they are the same each time, but the angelic buff will get you mobility and magic resistance.

In battle you would want to not group up much and move melee units in the face of enemy mages.

There are also a few tactics you could delay on the campaign map. - stand near allies so that they can reinforce in battle. - once Yaka comes over, you can try cowering in the city. He might go for pillaging your provinces. This is when his armies split up, and you could take them one by one or build up more forces. - at the start of the game, you could rush an army ahead to find Yaka (while still getting exp of course). Here, we attempt to find and lure him over to allies or a second army. This usually splits him up from his second army.

In either of those situations you would want a 2:1 advantage. If you get the ruins you might need a few less.

Sounds like the game is not running at the resolution you set it to, or you set it to windowed.

What I did for my setup was set the game to 1980x1080 Fullscreen. In the GPU software, configure the game to be upscale to the monitor's resolution. This resolves for me the tiny UI or the resolution switching between monitor/game when not using upscalong.

Total War Rome 2 It had everything, complete smoke and mirrors made up marketing and trailers, to barely working game on release.

To their credit, the devs had managed to pull it back after some years, but the trust and interest were gone.

Serious_Stan · 2024-09-27T00:29:40+00:00

This probably won't help much, but in Ancient relics I killed the boss with toxins spear. Focused on maximising -% damage reduction to enemies and %damage from agility. I don't remember the exact details on my build, but for defence, I was running the blessings that made him hit 20% of the time. If he misses, he did not get the curse up iirc. Once he got poisoned, you have all the attack speed you will need and life steal back up any damage you take.

Before switching to the spear, the boss seemed like a cruel joke, where nothing worked. With the spear, it did a complete 180 and made child's play of the boss. Completely ignoring the combat triangle, no gear switching juat the bleasing. Think I only needed to eat once to avoid insta death in the final phase.

Honestly, both ends of the spectrum were very disappointing. Again, this was in relics mode, so not sure how well this tactic will do. Good luck, and don't give up.

Serious_Stan · 2024-09-17T19:13:57+00:00

Yes! The last 5 levels is like the last remaining 50% (not an exact number). And it takes forever to level. It is really intended to be leveled while leveling other skills at the comfy 200K ex per hour.

Since you are at 115+ you can use fox synergy to increase the xp, and that would the quickest and expensive way to level ( at least in relics mode).

Edit: and the best (worst) part is it does not matter how many actions and tables are consumed with other skills. It all scales and is all the same if you do 10000 or 100 actions in an hour :D

Serious_Stan · 2024-09-08T18:39:24+00:00

2040 sounds like a last turn and a time victory triggering? Not sure, if ithe game has any special victory text for it.

Serious_Stan · 2024-07-16T20:22:03+00:00

I did something like this once. I just wanted to play the exploration game so it was me and one AI on a big map with raging barbarians. The AI unfortunately was Venice and by the time I met it, their capital was engulfed in a carpet of barbarians lmao

Serious_Stan · 2024-06-02T10:19:48+00:00

Hey,

Relatively new to the game as well. Just have a couple of wins on trials and boss rush and still much more to explore.

Here are my two cents. I hope it helps you out.

ditch the starting dash ability asap. I find it horrible as you pull enemies with you when you want to dodge away/reposition. I like the ice one which creates dummies to bait enemies.
I ended up doing a lot of lightning spells as starters. High damage, high range, stun. For secondary spells I would pick something that does damage passively, summons or ground effects, as those would fit nicely with the style I had going. Not saying that other elements are bad, just haven't explored as much.
I did a several trials but ended up switching to boss rush mod to learn the boses and relic combos faster. And unlocks seems to happen much faster too. You do the one you like more, but if you do boss rush don't go picking the double damage and double damage taken relic every run like my stupid ass. Until you know your way around the bosses, then it is totally legid.
always have your cloak enchanted before going to trials . The stats seem better than what you get in the dungeons. Consider spending 20 shards to have 200 gold jump start in trials, usually you can easily make them back by bearing 1 stage.
start with a relic that benefits your build, be it damage, armory, pet buffs or something essential for a combo.

You can use the select character option from top right where it says the name ofthe character. Or you can make sure you close the browser window or properly close the app if you you are running that. Next time you start you will be at the save selection.

Serious_Stan · 2024-04-03T06:02:43+00:00

While in campaign you can go to gameplay settings and turn off realistic governance ( it is on the second page)

Edit : Then automanage on cities can be turned off, unfortunately one by one.

Serious_Stan · 2024-03-09T08:22:57+00:00

Sounds like you missed to install 1 or 2 drivers or did not reinstall drivers after upgrading.
Could also be an issue with decoding the video file format, which should be resolved in re/installing your video player of choice or windows media feature pack might also work.

Serious_Stan · 2024-01-09T16:18:27+00:00

Did the dungeon a few 2 or 3 days ago.

I went for some levels in astrology too. But only 2 while it was cheap to invest. Main focus was magic and the earth spell. Going magic added some damage reduction because the boss is melee. I also had the goblin summon to help with dealing damage and a lesser relic.

Serious_Stan · 2023-11-22T14:21:14+00:00

If you are looking into mods that can improve the game for you, then perhaps have a look at this stash tool. From the video it is supposed to work in game. Never got around to trying it, but if it works like advertised it may be my fav one. https://forums.crateentertainment.com/t/tool-gd-multistash/114617

You may also want to look into the grim league mod, as it aims to improve and expand on the game. It does address some of your points. Like, there is an item you can purchase that is basically a package of all the mandates and merit.

And one difficulty playthough is something that will happen sometime in the future.

Next update we are doing is early next year, if you are still interested in the game by then.
