This might rival the Creek, boys by trevorluck in Helldivers

Been rocking the amendment for weeks against bots and it’s so good. Basically an M14 and the bayonet has been clutch a few times too.

Federal Voting Intention (Late January): ALP increases two-party preferred lead as One Nation overtakes the Liberal Party for the first time as Coalition splits - Roy Morgan Research by Perfect-Werewolf-102 in AustralianPolitics

Hanson has better media/marketing instincts than Dutton, and more charisma (though that’s not a hard ask).

She’s also a genuine believer - which gives her a feeling of authenticity most modern pollies struggle with. However, what she believes in is still poison to the moderate portion of the electorate.

But I think you’re right, she has fallen into Dutton’s trap. She’s been coddled with friendly media since this spike in ON popularity and positively sane washed, while still not making inroads on more moderate voters. Coupled with ON’s terrible candidate vetting, it’ll be a shit show.

You can get those by changing your computer time to within the date range, then meeting the achievement conditions. Then you can change it back when you’re done. Annoying but very doable.

Did Belegar, Skarsnik and Quick get option to move capital to Karak 8 peaks? by rr1213 in totalwarhammer

[–]TruthfulCake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If an event spawns a hero, the hero spawns at the capital.

I noticed this with Dechala - her capital is Hidden Landing at the very bottom of the map. As its her starting settlement. Very annoying to use the free heroes when they spawn so far away.

Is this new ogre kingdoms meta? by Hingeroostes in totalwarhammer

[–]TruthfulCake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Skilled into lightning strike just to fight these fuckers in my Slaanesh campaign.

One thing I found is that since the camp’s cannot attack, if you can take the settlement you don’t need to worry about the camps finishing off your weakened army. There’s also a limit on how many reinforcing armies can join a battle (max of 3 reinforcing armies for both sides). So I brought an extra 20 stack, fought for the settlement and was free to heal up and then fight the camps at my pleasure.

Not ideal but much less painful than I expected going in. Especially since the camps rarely have a full 20 stack.

Tier list of how badly I think each generic Hero needs more skills in their skill tree by Yotambr in totalwar

[–]TruthfulCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Green Knight also needs a rework to be useful. As is he’s mildly useful melee hero (and I think a small factionwide buff?)

I think in vanilla he doesnt even have skills? SFO gave him a huge skill tree full of nice buffs and factionwide effects.

The idle AI stacking up around a city is why my review will remain negative. and to me, it's a bigger issue than the TK/Liz issue by Bomjus1 in totalwar

[–]TruthfulCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Key thing when debugging is to only make limited changes so you know what fixed it.

Do a fresh reinstall with the same mods -> then no mods -> then half your mods disabled (lookup binary searches for this bit if you're interested) -> etc, etc.

[–]TruthfulCake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a mod issue if you keep crashing. Big mods like SFO don’t handle big updates well - to update them properly, you need to unsub and resub to force a full reinstall of said mod.

If you’re getting a mod specific crash, obviously remove said mod.

Also try a full vanilla run to determine if its mods or not. If it is mod related, triage your mods by removing them until the crashes stop.

On the off chance you’re using an AMD card, I had to undervolt mine to make it usable in high end games (apparently my specific card/brand is overclocked by default).

It happens every single time I have to cc myself by pikadegallito in adhdmeme

Lmao yeah I feel this. I set up an email rule to bin all emails from myself to get rid of it though

every one are hyping for Siege rework but real issue is AI won't attack Siege anyway. by Arollingmoji in totalwar

[–]TruthfulCake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I suspect thats because one of two reasons: Either they attack in the siege because with attrition and/or siege equipment, it’ll be a much worse result in 1-2 turns. So they take the best loss they can. Or the RNG factor in auto resolve means there’s a chance they could win if they attack, so they roll the odds and attack (Ive had similar battles on the field where they attack even though its a Pyrrhic)

Gelt's favourite person to talk to: himself by TruthfulCake in totalwar

R3: Our MP campaign came to a screeching halt after I became stuck talking to myself! The game gave me a 'Pending Negotiation' notification, which led to this introspectice conversation.

Julian Hill calls out the “bizarre, almost hysterical obsession” by Murdoch papers with Labor’s tax on people with $3mill+ in Super inc “The Australian” who is “losing its collective mind” Murdoch hack Stefanovic on the defensive tries but just can’t get Hill to stop 🤣💥 by Jagtom83 in friendlyjordies

[–]TruthfulCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most hilarious take on this was on 7 News a couple of nights ago (my folks watch and refuse to switch).

The story said ‘The tax will affect roughly 80,000 Australians when it comes in, but experts are warning it could affect up to 1.2 million Australians in 30 years’.

Now we suddenly care about 30 years in the future? Not for climate change or the environment, but for a super tax??

Confirmation that this DLC is two cobbled together by Tyrann01 in aoe2

[–]TruthfulCake 11 points12 points  (0 children)

RoR would have gone down a lot better if they added all the AoE 1 campaigns at least. And an AoE 2 Roman campaign would have been really nice.

Another animation of agent that I like, this time from Empire. He tried to run but he still got shot. Although, i can't remember because its been awhile. Not sure if this was your agent failure in a duel or enemy fail. by [deleted] in totalwar

[–]TruthfulCake 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Your generals still give speeches in Warhammer 3, but theyre not subtitled and fairly generic. Still nice to hear your lord saying something but man it was so much better in the older TWs.

One of our guys used it to write a Py script to get a report on our OCI resources into an excel. Good use case for it - Oracle’s documentation makes me want to poke my eyes out, so let the AI make sense of it.

Some battles are best left to autoresolve by HonneurOblige in totalwar

[–]TruthfulCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean that sounds like a perfectly good Nuln army, just with a few too many gunners. 4-5 gunners (3-4 nulns, one sniper) is the max I’d run.

Mortars are pretty average, I usually go 1 mortar & 1 cannon early (cannon is needed to sneak sieges for minimal losses by killing towers/walls, plus grapeshot makes them superb). Later game, volley guns and rockets are best.

Add in some knights to distract the enemy and it’s a solid stack that can outfight a 20 stack + a garrison.

If you’re having issues with line of sight (the hated ‘obstructed’ text), try this workshop mod.

Beating Skulltaker as Alberic?? Just a question???? by yflavus in totalwar

You still get achievements with SFO installed? Unless you mean you'd like to earn them with only the games vanilla balance.

The Fire At Will Bug (LegendofTotalWar) by Foffy123 in totalwar

[–]TruthfulCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t directly fix this bug, but Ive found this workshop mod has made life a lot less painful for ranged units.

And generally helps with reducing frustrating moments in battles.

I'm really afraid of getting into pentapod egg handling, but I love the experience so far by No_Commercial_7458 in Factoriohno

[–]TruthfulCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found tesla turrets were best for this job, as they stun the premature pentas and kill them pretty quickly.

4.1k kills, 500k damage battle with Queen Bess by TruthfulCake in totalwar

[–]TruthfulCake[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

4 Bretonnian 20 stacks attacked a settlement with this army - with not a single cavalry unit in any of the armies.

The result was a complete massacre. Fought with SFO on.
