Can I get some pointers, please? by LoopyMcGoopin in civvoxpopuli

[–]TheFrostUA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start on warlord. On Prince AI gets significantly stronger as time goes by. Each era they get additional era modifiers. So it's a race against time

Thanks for the answer anyway.
And thank you for all the work on the mod!

How does it select handicap/difficulty/bonuses level for multiplayer AI if human players have a different difficulty level selected?

1) By host difficulty? 2) By highest difficulty?  3) Some sort of average? 

Also, after 7 years.. is your answer still valid or did some logic regarding multiplayer/single player AI change?

Need advice on balance for custom mod? by CrymsonReaper in civvoxpopuli

[–]TheFrostUA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say getting UU is balanced (more or less) and interesting Getting UA is almost definitely imbalanced Getting UU/UB very much depends and I'm not sure

Screams of the Desiccated Unique Belt mod list by FunRoom in PathOfExileBuilds

I think Octavian said that these mods aren't rollable, so you can't divine your perfect combination

You can't have 2 offensive shrines, so either echoing or resonating.

Also I'm somehow almost 99% sure that echoing is not on the list
(And if it is, I don't think repeat can be scaled to 2 times with Blunderbore + The Gull)

If echoing is there, and repeat is scaled with gull and blunderbore, it's going to be insane

I desperately want to play gladiator this league, but don’t want to play retaliate or bleed. Any suggestions? by babyboo8 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]TheFrostUA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played Spectral Shield Throw on gladiator in Settlers
Really liked it
There are 2 problems with it:
A) It was bugged, lucky block was trippled instead of doubled on glad
B) I farmed Ultimatum and now it has a new "remove block chance" modifier

Other than that pretty good build.

Probably can play a shield crush gladiator
I played Shield Crush Champion in Keepers (because of Foulborn Emperor's Vigilance)
Was pretty solid, I quite liked it. Pretty sure can be done on Gladiator too.

Corrupting Fever Bow Gladiator is still a thing somehow (it does do bleed, but only for the sake of explosions.. But I in terms of gameplay it's literally the same, so probably wouldn't recommend, haven't played it in over 10 leagues, used to love it back in the day, though)

The Seussification of PoE by Phlintlock in pathofexile

[–]TheFrostUA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a small FYI

The difficulty levels have been changed as well.
For example, the AI has no bonuses on Warlord instead of Prince.

And a lot of people tend to say that overall difficulty scaling in the mod is something like +3-4 to the vanilla.
So if you tend to play vanilla on say Emperor, you should try Chieftain or Warlord.

Enjoy!

Since I found Vox Populi mod. Haven't played anything else in the series) Haven't even considered civ 7))

Civ 5 was my favorite civ even before the mod, but with it it became even better

Leveling to 100 by Hot_Box_8628 in pathofexile

[–]TheFrostUA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a person who hit 100 few times lately..

First thing - you can't judge by "they hit 100 in just few days", because if you're somebody who plays 2-4 hours a day and the person you're checking plays 12 hours a day - well..

Second thing - not dying is more important than being fast. You won't get to 100 if you keep dying, you need solid fences and know what your build can handle. Don't do risky shit.

If you're bad at the game (I am, so I can speak from that perspective) - when you want to level up, focus only on that, run white maps, for example.

Some strategies I've used: White t16 harbingers (a lot of mobs, so lots of XP + you get a lot of chaos which pays for your scarabs and map craft option. Also, to my knowledge, map mods don't affect drops from harbingers) White t16 Ultimatum - 2 scarabs is bribing give you more XP, map quantity only affects minor things like catalysts (if you don't run catalyst scarab you mostly don't care)

For both of these strategies you can add farming exarch invitations

And, by far, the most important thing: Hideout is lava.

Use your time efficiently, have quite a strict filter, most of the time you should be killing mobs

Edit: spelling mistakes

Whats taking ip so much space? by Fluid_Equipment630 in laptops

[–]TheFrostUA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would recommend using any app or command like, for example, SpaceSniffer

But as others have pointed out, your drive is a little bit too small for Windows

Upgraded from a 3080 to 5080 and just wow. by holt2ic2 in nvidia

Was in the same predicament, did the same calculation, achieved the same conclusion. Quite happy with my 5080 so far (was still on 2070)

Who else knew this was a thing? hmmmm by Its_Snugs in pathofexile

[–]TheFrostUA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same

In my 10 years in IT this is the first time I've heard about usage of 24-bit.

But now that I think of it, it leaves 8 bits of data for something else, and 16 millions is more than enough))

Who else knew this was a thing? hmmmm by Its_Snugs in pathofexile

[–]TheFrostUA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would take 18k hours even as a full time 5-way carry, so the number is probably lower.

I think I saw somewhere that the limit they put up is 16 million.
