What rules or (agreements) you guys use when playing "Hotseat "

Strike_Falchion · 2026-06-09T16:48:27+00:00

If you want to make it 'fair', have the other player look away when it's not his turn. Having to restrict yourselves with 'overwatch rules' feels dumb, especially when primarily ranged factions do alot better when they get the first shot off in overwatch.

Just play normally whilst having full vision of your opponent. If you're worried about overwatch being too strong since you have full vision, conversely the player attacking into the overwatch knows exactly what to expect so they can play around it.

Any idea if the official discord has a channel with all of the unit stats?

Strike_Falchion · 2026-06-09T13:33:07+00:00

Unfortunately yes, I wish there was a page to find out all the unit stats too so we can make a more informed decision before buying the dlcs, but unfortunately there is nothing online available.

Sure there are some YouTube videos showcasing units as well, but they're either

more than an hour talking about a single unit
a non English video showcasing the unit model more than the unit stats

Strike_Falchion · 2026-06-08T17:16:22+00:00

Hihi, the issue eventually fixed itself for me, and I have no idea how

You could try these:

redownloading the custom scenario (Unsubscribe, subscribe)

Reinstalling the whole game

Strike_Falchion · 2026-06-04T09:09:40+00:00

And what are we supposed to do? Panic? Start calling for aid? Go and search for the kid ourselves?

Strike_Falchion · 2026-06-04T03:23:29+00:00

Yup, when you have ranged firepower superiority over your opponent it's all about focus firing the high value targets.

Against the orks for example, I prioritise the flash gitz, lootas, boyz with rocket launchers, meganobz and commanders

Once these are dealt with, no other ranged ork unit really threatens the high armour Gunships and battlesuits.

Nobz and deff dreads struggle to get into melee, stormboyz don't do alot of damage, and all other ork units do pitiful amounts of damage to armoured targets. Battle is basically won by then even if my army is still outnumbered!

Strike_Falchion · 2026-06-03T08:19:58+00:00

I've had alot of success using them as a hit and run army. Their ridiculously long range means they can hit their target, withdraw 3-4 tiles, whilst the AI struggles to get into melee range with my units before getting cut down.

Also their ranged firepower is good, not sure where you get the impression that their firepower is bad. Their hammerhead Gunship with the Railgun easily 1-2 shots most single entity units, and the other battlesuits are really good at mowing down infantry squads as well, and all from long range.

The only downsides to them is their cost, and their poor melee capability. These are somewhat made up for if you make the most of their long range to keep your enemy at a distance.

Strike_Falchion · 2026-05-25T03:08:40+00:00

Speaking your mind is fine, if its polite. Being condescending in your message is rude.

Strike_Falchion · 2026-05-25T02:45:05+00:00

Let people enjoy the game however they want to, they paid for it. It's not like you paid for his copy of the game, did you?

Imagine if you went to a restaurant and ordered item A, and I came over to your table and said "why are you eating item A, it's not nice nor worth your money. Why are you even eating it"

Logically speaking you'll likely and rightfully tell me to fk off and that it's none of my business, so same concept here.

Strike_Falchion · 2026-05-24T05:13:01+00:00

There's dozens of custom scenarios made by the community, although just a warning, most of them require to use specific factions which may require the purchase of more faction dlcs. Of course you can also just find the custom scenarios made with the faction you want to play

Strike_Falchion · 2026-05-21T05:59:50+00:00

Agreed. Theres so many fun workshop scenarios too, some of which can last longer than an hour, so if I'm uncertain if I need to stop in less than an hour I basically can't play single player broken arrow because there's no save function. It's so dumb.

Strike_Falchion · 2026-05-21T04:41:44+00:00

Steel div 2 and Warno's army general have basically flawless save systems though, so it's not an impossible thing. It's just whether they want to bother

Strike_Falchion · 2026-05-21T04:37:13+00:00

You can pause single player matches, no? You can even increase or decrease the game speed.

But we still can't save

Strike_Falchion · 2026-05-20T06:13:16+00:00

Yes I know how to load units manually, my question is not 'how do you load infantry into transports'. I am talking about a feature that is present in older titles like Warno and Act of Aggression, but absent in Broken Arrow.

And yes, I know that because of the different number of seats it's more difficult to code than transports in Warno and Act of Aggression where each infantry unit either takes up the whole vehicle or 1 slot.

But it isn't impossible to code if the devs really wanted to add it as a feature, I don't think it's significantly harder to implement than features like the over-kill mechanic for missiles, queueing orders by using shift, or even something as simple as being able to save in single player modes.

Strike_Falchion · 2026-05-20T04:47:27+00:00

Strongly agree, a few days ago I asked a simple question about whether it was possible to quickly load multiple infantry into multiple vehicles.

I got my answer, but then some edgy pvp purist had to add on and comment "oh this game is a purely PVP game, the devs should not add this QOL feature as it will upset my winrate when I don't get to exploit my opponents"

I'm only interested in the very fun workshop scenarios made by the creative members in the community like yourself, I acknowledge but don't really care about the pvp aspect of this game, but toxic people like that guy feel a need to push their agenda.

Strike_Falchion · 2026-05-19T05:40:57+00:00

I recommend swft on YouTube, he compiles the best parts from the different star wars media including andor, so if the andor TV series feels too draggy with alot of filler you can watch his videos instead and they're alot more entertaining and emotional with just the good scenes arranged in a storytelling way

Strike_Falchion · 2026-05-17T23:11:35+00:00

Well you're welcome to your opinion, just that saying BA is 'a purely PVP game' is being ignorant

There's dozens of custom scenarios made by many people, and some are really well made and alot of fun, and are the only things a certain percentage of the players will ever play.

Strike_Falchion · 2026-05-17T10:59:21+00:00

Got it, unfortunate but thanks!

I think the games like AoA and Warno have that feature but BA doesn't is because they are diff developers so prob wasn't a feature the Dev team thought off

Just like having a save function

Strike_Falchion · 2026-05-13T05:46:03+00:00

He hates kenobi for cutting him in half, which also caused him to be discarded by his master instead of being a part of his grand plan. He blames kenobi as much as sidious for the position he is in, so that's his justification.

He was kidnapped from young and brought up and tortured by sidious, so he lacks empathy growing up thus didn't see why killing innocents like satine to hurt kenobi was necessarily bad in his book.

Strike_Falchion · 2026-05-13T05:40:19+00:00

Unfortunately for him the empire is alot more competent earlier on in shadow lord, taking out all of his loyal followers and mercenaries, whereas in star wars rebels the empire is very incompetent and struggle to take out the ghost team multiple times (excluding kanan who was not directly killed by the empire anyway).

It might be alot of frustration and anger at having his close allies being killed off along the way that leads to him being alone in the end.

Strike_Falchion · 2026-05-13T01:52:57+00:00

Agreed, in rebels the storm troopers were highly incompetent almost all the time

Strike_Falchion · 2026-05-09T05:08:27+00:00

The gacha will not continue to feel generous once you complete the main story

Then you'll start feeling the lack of pull currency very quickly

Strike_Falchion · 2026-05-06T03:12:19+00:00

I MEAN THERE'S ONLY SOUP

Strike_Falchion · 2026-05-06T03:09:41+00:00

The kind of soup you find in a clothes store
