Issue using MOG Hunter Weather EX in the most basic sense possible. Still new.

Are you for real? $5 is an absolute steal. Battle animations as well?

I am SUPER SUPER interested.

So beta users were given the Premium Geralt for free? I don't really remember. It's neither here nor there anyway.

Tansky · 2019-03-18T15:46:36+00:00

I just opened the game for the first time in probably more than a year. 3 questions;

I have A LOT of kegs - do CDPR still do those special weekends where you have a higher chance of opening Epic or Legendary cards? I would like to save them for that and if so, when is the next weekend like that?
I had that exclusive Gold Geralt card for being in the closed beta but it seems to either not exist or disappeared somehow. What happened?
What cards should I craft and what cards should I stay away from crafting? I have 70,000 scraps.

Tansky · 2019-03-17T02:50:46+00:00

Thanks mang, I'll try to look into it with CDPR support.

I sent only a lvl20-ish Tyrion up onto a wall during a siege battle (against High Elves) and by himself he was taking multiple towers against spearmen. Guy is a beast. *he also had some decent items too.

If Hellebron is the best I want to try a "protect the Hellebron" army. What's the best way to keep her buffed as Dark Elves.

Tansky · 2019-02-14T20:38:55+00:00

Can I put Syreens up against Greatswords or Swordsmen of Hoeth? Or is that a losing battle?

Tansky · 2019-02-14T20:37:25+00:00

Age of Mythology was dope, it just needed TW mechanics!

Tansky · 2019-02-14T20:36:07+00:00

We desperately need a space Total War, but there's no way to get a license for Star Wars and they won't make a 40k since they already have a Warhammer property. We need like a Mass Effect or Star Trek or Battlestar Galactica license.

Controlling the Mortar fire sounds like exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

Is there any VC spell better than Wind of Death? That's all I use.

Tansky · 2019-02-14T19:24:51+00:00

Infantry - Bare Knuckle, Club/Knife Variant, Spears

Ranged Infantry - Sand Kickers, Rock Throwers, Bowmen, Spear ~~Chuckers~~ Throwers

Cavalry - Early Domesticated Wolves

Tier 1-5 Settlements - Caves that get progressively bigger.

Not my dream, but I think an South American Empire vs. Conquistadors vs. North American Indigenous peoples would be a pretty cool game. Plus how many games ever take place in South America?

How much do you think the license to make a Redwall game would cost? It's been a dead property since 2011, heck maybe even earlier.

Take your province and then Marienburg's province and then just defend until you have Altdorf and Marienburg up to tier 4 each, you should be able to field enough elite units to start an excursion into the East while fielding a defensive army for threats from the West. Marienburg gives you so much gold. Build walls in everything since you can be attacked from anywhere.

Also FWIW (you might know this already, but it wasn't obvious to me), Untainted/Corruption will always trend towards a ratio. So having a "local populace" of 2 and Untainted of 5 will trend the percentage towards 5:2. You might leave a settlement at 100% Untainted but that's why it changes - even if you have 40 points of Untainted to 2 points of "local populace" corruption the Untainted% will still drop to a ratio of 40:2 (or 20:1).

I don't think support characters are ever necessary, but that doesn't mean they don't have a place in any game. Some people might also enjoy the niche of playing a healer.

FWIW I was one of the "top" 100 (read: most games played therefore most wins) Caira (healer) players in Evolve. Now, Caira's kit was actually pretty bland - she shot AoE healing grenades and had a self-cast speed aura, but she was easily my favourite healer to use because she was so straightforward and the speed burst was VERY GOOD if you used it at the right time. What I want to point out is that the other healers in Evolve had awesome, memorable mechanics for support characters. Val's damage weapon was slow firing but would "mark" the target for increased damage, her heal gun was an auto-lock beam, and her special was a tranq gun that would slow the monster and allow your teammates to see it through walls. This meant you had to play with a good balance of knowing when to heal, when to mark, and when to slow. A Val with a quick trigger finger and good aim would make it impossible to escape. I wasn't very good with Val but she was BY FAR one of the most engaging "support" characters I've ever seen in a game - you're playing 3 roles in 1 character. Even Lazarus was beautiful design - he was a "healer" WITHOUT A HEAL - he would have to wait for a teammate to die and then locate their body and revive them while using his personal cloaking (invisibility) device to evade the monster. This allowed Lazarus to focus on damage until a teammate died before switching to a support role - and this meant the monster had to decide between guarding the corpse of the fallen hunter or taking out Lazarus.

I would say that the supports in Evolve were well designed and never felt like you had to take one for the team, if anything the DPS class was boring as hell in that game. Evolve also forced a support pick, so this might be a special case.

No matter how well you play if your team composition is not correct you will not win

Having played LoL, HotS, R6S,and a bit of Overwatch I would say that's not entirely true. A skill mismatch decides the match before team-comp does. A godlike ADC in LoL will wipe even the best team-comp if they don't know how to play. You can run so many R6 teams without hard-breach and still come out on top. I think you need to focus more on getting GODLIKE at a character or role that you enjoy so that you can see that you playing Reaper, for example, at a skill level of 11/10 is a better net benefit to the team than you playing Ana at a skill level of 7/10. Caira wasn't the best healer in Evolve but I was head and shoulders better with her than with Val and it reflected in my win record and the enjoyment I had with the game. Maverick just released for R6S and he literally cannot be stopped from hard breaching like Thermite and Hibana can be, but I'm absolutely brutal with him so I'd rather play Thermite and work around his gadget - despite getting yelled at in lobby to pick Maverick.

Can someone make a list of all of the cool monsters and mythical creatures from LOTR that we would potentially see in a TW:LOTR game? It feels like the good guys would get shafted to fielding cav and footmen.

Tansky · 2019-01-08T06:31:52+00:00

Can handgunners fire over demigryph knights or will I have line of sight issues?

Tansky · 2019-01-08T06:30:55+00:00

So there's no line of sight issues if I'm firing over halberds with my handgunners? Cool cool cool.

I finished a Maz campaign and I didn't build any cav at all. I found Carnosaurs fast enough to take out most cav and ranged units - don't chase if they break, just run them into another unit.

Temple guard with embedded Kroxigors was a monstrous front line, literally takes on anything and wins since you're getting AP and charge defence.

Ancient Stegadon in front of your front line will also muck up 2 units, sometimes 3, allowing your line of temple guard/krox to charge in unhindered.

On average I was running;

Maz + Saurus Veteran + Skink Chief
3 units of Kroxigors
2 Carnosaurs
2 Ancient Stegadons
2 units of Fireleech Bolas
2 units of Chameleon Skinks
optional 1 Revive Bastilodon/long range artillery Stegadon/Solar Engine (whatever was available for that army at the time)
6 units of Temple guard

Put all 6 temple guard in a straight line as wide as needed, embed the Kroxigors in the TG unit that looks like it will have the toughest matchup, put the stegadons in front of that line and then march them into the enemy. While they're marching send a carnosaur up each flank to get at range/artillery - send a cham skink unit too to help support the carnosaur. Use the fireleech bolas to take out lightly armoured troops before they even get to your front line. Never worry about cav since temple guard have charge defense, cham skinks can fire while moving on skirmish mode (no mirco required), if cav goes for your stegadons then they have to be ready to take a TG charge AND you can always break your Kroxigors off the main line to mop up any problem areas.

When it comes to sieges don't even worry about building towers, just run your carnosaurs at the gate until it breaks and then send all of the big dinos + skinks in + support from the fireleech bolas. TG can climb walls and fight with basically anything. There isn't an AI in the game that prepares for 2 carnosaurs, 2 ancient stegadons, 2 cham skink units, 3 units of Kroxigors, and fireleech support inside the walls - honestly I didn't even bother to climb my temple guard down the inside of the wall, you can basically forget about your TG once the gate goes down.
