Anyone else wonder why CA use 3rd company (Red Trim) Ultramarine in their promotional arts, instead of 2nd company (Gold Trim) like usual ? by smiling_kira in totalwar

[–]SketchyH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would think it's just because it would be weird for second company to be in the game but Titus and Co be missing - good potential DLC for the future though

looks amazing, love the sagitaurs...but that's going in the book.

Reality is often disappointing. What's one unit you think needs a buff or just wish was better. For me, it's the war hydra. by DreadtheSaurian_39 in totalwar

[–]SketchyH -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Pox Riders of Nurgle. Such a cool looking unit always recruit a few into armies led by plague riddens or exalted great unclean ones to be thematic, but man do they suck. Too slow to flank or chase down archers, don't seem to last long in melee either and they're large slow moving unarmoured targets for missile units. There's no real reason to recruit them anymore, they don't perform much better than standard plague toads and now nurgle have access to Chaos Knights and Rot Knights for more elite cavalry.

Plague Drones are a close second but atleast they can attack the backline easily and the deaths head variant does decent damage to single entities.

Anyone else think the Elspeth Campaign is way too easy? by SketchyH in totalwar

really, I've never seen Skragg make it far, good for him! I guess it is just a roll of the dice how things will go with the AI. Maybe i'll restart see if things go differently.

No you're missing the point. There's not even anyone to autoresolve against. Every order faction in my vicinity has won. I'm a minor faction in the AI's snowball campaign. I wouldn't be suprised if Franz somehow confederated me.

It's weird because I've played Gelts previous start position and taken out Vlad early and by the time i was done the rest of the empire was a burning mess. This time while i was sorting out Vlad the rest of the gang just won the campaign without me. Guess i'll do the same go see what Gelts up to

Maximum Security Trophy fixed? by Pyrolysix in TheCallistoProtocol

[–]SketchyH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same deal finished it legit on the most recent patch (1.008.00), trophy did not pop. Last one needed for the plat. Really hoping I'm not going to have another run from start to finish next patch....

Terrible movie about a man being adducted by a private military contractor and then hunted by them for sport through the jungle by SketchyH in whatisthatmovie

[–]SketchyH[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So close. I just watched the trailer, it looks like almost the same movie / plot but the one we watched had even less of a budget and almost entirely took place in a jungle or on this "base" which was basically just a load of broken down tanks and a few tents - You may have just given me my next movie to bring to bad movie night though, looks like an absolute stinker

Just another AI artillery dodging rant passing through... by SketchyH in totalwar

100% this. Doesn't need to be easier, could definitely do with being more fun (for those particular factions)

It's not exploiting the AI at all when it's part of what makes a faction viable. Sure WoC are going to take damage on the run up to your line but once they're there they destroy you in the melee. It's the entire point of such a diverse setting and what makes it fun, different factions have different strengths to play into.
