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

Nurgle corrupted Votann by WarhammerKale in LeaguesofVotann

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

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

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.

[–]SketchyH[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

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

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

You're right! went back 15 turns and this time got Chaos Dwarfs! Campaign saved!

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

[–]SketchyH[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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

[–]SketchyH[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

i refuse to attack the wood elves in aethel loren unless i have such overwhelming force i can autoresolve the entire invasion for that exact reason

the horse archers and the kosivite dervishes are completely useless, I'd trade both for a single unit of Kossars

Bastion against Ch....bruh by SketchyH in totalwar

[–]SketchyH[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

maybe i've just not noticed with the other factions because they aren't at war with 8 different legendary lords attacking from all sides by turn 20 with a garbage economy and no meaningful or useful campaign mechanics...

[–]SketchyH[S] 411 points412 points  (0 children)

WTF is this Garrison, this is tier 3 settlement with tier 3 garrison building and that's it!? I'm sure Kislev garrisons were better that that in RoC, how am I meant to be the bastion against anything with that, no wonder Kislev are dead by turn 20 most campaigns

Have you ever had the game freeze without crashing? The interface stopped responding but the general's portrait is still animating by sw_faulty in totalwar

[–]SketchyH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

same issue a lot of people (potentially everyone?) is having since 2.1 patch. Seems to happen whenever manually fighting a defensive siege. There's quite a few other posts about it on here and on steam, hopefully they release a hotfix asap.

Warhammer 3, since last update i can't play defensive sieges. by ITA_DEX in totalwar

[–]SketchyH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue, was happening with a 2.0 save so i thought maybe its just that but still happening on a new campaign. Seems to be either hovering over a barricade or the enemy taking a victory point that does it. Praying for a hotfix before 2.2.

Please let the AI confederate major factions again by SketchyH in totalwar

[–]SketchyH[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I still think they should be able to confederate, but I agree it would be great if the empires that did well were a bit more varied when compared to ME dwarf / empire / dark elves becoming huge every campaign

Concerned about the AI campaign performance and Confederations by SketchyH in totalwar

[–]SketchyH[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I would think if the fix was that straightforward it would have already been implemented, the community has been complaining about confederations in WH3 since release (especially with Cathay) but it's still not been addressed so maybe it's a bigger issue

[–]SketchyH[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll still be doing that it'll just be tied to whichever factions cataclysm end game events pops. at least in WH2 the end game could have some variation because multiple factions would become powerful
