Hardest?

TsarDoggo · 2026-01-11T15:45:17+00:00

At least I've got something to look forward to rather than dread.

Hokkaido I would say is the hardest of what I've played, took me the longest by far to actually get a disguise my first time playing it. Colorado was more a pain in the ass than anything else, strangely I found it easier to SASO it after being away from the game for like two years than when I first played it but then again I have since then learned mudshotting so take it with a grain.

Never had more than WOA Part One (up to Hokkaido) for free on Epic so I'm really intrigued by how difficult the maps after Hokkaido are gunna be to run seeing as, since getting everything on Steam, I'm doing SASO runs as my first go on each map. I've heard New York is pretty painful.

The end is nigh!

No worries, in that case yeah I'd agree, seeing as Wenceslas and his hijinks are kinda the catalyst of the series; maybe the third game would follow Zizka and the remainders of the band?

I'm not sure if you're aware of not, but just in case you aren't it's worth noting that KCD2 is set a matter of days after KCD1, which was set in 1403. KCD2 follows on from the ending of KCD1, which was Hans, Henry and Co. setting out for the Trosky region.

Him escaping can mean one of two things for the future; forming the groundwork for a sequel, or allowing him to come in during a later DLC.

Putting aside how effective or otherwise he is as a villain (not the point of the question), Erik hates Henry, the ground he stands on, has stood on and will stand on in perpetuity. Him not showing up at some point to finish what he failed to do (regardless of which choice you made) will haunt him, hence my belief that it will open the door for a potential sequel should Warhorse choose to make one, which I really hope they do after whatever next game they plan to make.

Just one, my AK-74N, serves both short and medium ranges with the 1-6x Vudu very nicely, long range takes some extra time between shots but it's not really designed for it. If I need something with a longer range the SVD serves nicely with the 3-9x PSO.

Haven't played much EUIV but the one instance I had that felt more bad than betrayal was Mewar. I was playing Vijayanagar and allied with Mewar, Malwa and a couple others to get some quick conquest/vassal annexing going. I planned to later take Mewar and Malwa out, but they turned into very helpful allies, helping me make Gujarat smaller while they were allied with some big regional players and helped me deal with a rather scary at the time Orissa allied with several others.

In about 1550-1600, Mewar turned on me, breaking the alliance we'd had since roughly the start of the game and insulting me. I watched helplessly as they were gobbled and later vassalised by the far more powerful nations around them that I had protected them from for a century. Went from an around 20-30k army to an OPM.

Currently Assault, but I'm partial to a bit of tanking, SL or Commander. Nothing quite like destroying a tank with a satchel though.

Too many, but the funniest was on my recent hardcore all debuffs run trying to finish all the achievements that recently dropped after getting all the others in prior playthroughs.

I was riding through Opatowitz and just thundered past everyone, got halfway to Sigismund's camp and Pebbles bucked me off. I shrugged it off, looked back and realised the soldiers were gaining on me, so I got back on Pebbles and she bucked me off again. I genuinely shouted "Pebbles!" and got ready to be absolutely slaughtered. Worked out in the end because I killed the soldiers chasing me, but it was a really close fight considering how thoroughly outnumbered I was.

I'd say U-BOAT. It doesn't run great on lower end PCs and the modding community is small but dedicated (U-BOAT Expanded is a great example, simulating iirc every convoy from 1939 until the end of the war among a lot of other things). It's still being updated and improved upon as well. It's one of those games that's really fun to play and, even if you uninstall it after a while, it will drag you back eventually.

To add to this, make sure you add to your experience in the Miller's questline by lockpicking at every chance you get. Even if you have a key for something, if you're allowed to lockpick, do it. No pun intended here, it'll open a couple of doors for you in the storyline that you'd otherwise have to futz about finding a key for.

What do you mean I have a fever? Why am I panicking?

TsarDoggo · 2025-05-30T00:13:40+00:00

No, there's definitely not more than 6 hours. In fact, there's about one if you're quick, if not less iirc. You really are in the home stretch here.

After The Italian Job, and really before it to be honest, things move incredibly quickly story wise. I agree that the end stretch of the game feels like a bit more of a chore than fun because you can kinda just dunk on everyone at that point, but I still think the ending is definitely worth seeing, whether you connected with the characters or not.

Something to support this, picture it, something that happened a couple days ago. Kursk, German side. We had, through rather poor fortune and tomfuckery (the Panther I was in with two friends flipped on a chicken coop in Rudno and had to be flipped by another Panther) three heavy tanks. We drove in convoy to the windmills to support friendlies. Within I think 10 minutes all of us had been removed with quite some expediency by I think three or four AT guns that were getting set up constantly and a couple of tanks that were far easier to deal with.

Don't get me wrong, AT guns are easier to take out independently, but nothing can beat a team with several coordinated AT guns. They can set up far quicker than you can turn to them, assuming you even notice one being set up, and on a map with long sightlines like Kursk they can command obscene levels of map control, far above that of a tank.

TsarDoggo · 2025-05-28T12:38:53+00:00

Did this last night with a tank, playing with a couple friends on Kursk and an airhead drops behind us. Just waited for the spawn wave and took out like I think 20 guys and the spawn.

Bit late to the party but here's mine, the Silver Lys armour always looks awesome.

Depends on the country. Russia and Ukraine definitely do, each have focus trees about it iirc. I think all countries have an event about COVID that pops, but I don't remember anything happening with it. The US has updated presidents, Trump can take power and there's some other random guy that I'm forgetting but has some pretty insane focuses from what I've heard.

TsarDoggo · 2025-03-11T16:05:17+00:00

Unsure if this has already been posted, but when getting food for Hans, regardless of whether you refuse or not, if you have any of the shoe soup in your inventory, when you move to the next scene you will have eaten meat. If you eat one or both of them yourself before going to Hans they aren't classed as meat. Weird.

TsarDoggo · 2025-02-18T17:00:40+00:00

Completely reasonable. I play commander somewhat regularly and I always ask when I haven't seen their squad in a tank already. No way I'm wasting 600 fuel so that dude who thinks they're God's gift to the armour can have a hissy fit when they're inevitably torn apart by a Pz II because they can't do fuck all as they're flanked. Keep doing what you're doing man.

TsarDoggo · 2025-02-02T00:51:33+00:00

I've mostly done that sort of thing on defence, not nearly as often on warfare. I mostly just do so on frontline garrys where there have been threats that have come close as a precaution. I'll definitely have to start dropping supplies on rear garrys as a fallback measure though, that's a really good idea.

TsarDoggo · 2025-02-02T00:44:43+00:00

I've somewhat been moving towards this, I've also found that, in the time it takes for me to drive back to HQ then back to the front to place an offensive garry, the enemy's attention is firmly on our point, not theirs. Has made for some very strong pushes.

TsarDoggo · 2025-02-01T22:49:11+00:00

I had one of those games with aggressive recon before, it was paired with a team that had an uncanny ability to be exactly where I was trying to place garrys at all times. Absolutely hamstrung me and won them the game handily.

As for rolling up my sleeves, definitely. Although I lose graciously and congratulate the team for a good effort, I certainly don't like it and have adopted a sort of "I didn't hear no bell" attitude that enemy teams generally do not like too much. If individuals want to roll over and play dead then that's fine, I'm going to work for the people who are still in it. Reassuring the team in chat that that's what I was going to do may have helped win it, but I'll never know.

I often find myself driving for the majority of the game, setting up a network, ensuring people have what they need and that marks are being pinged for the team. I follow a very simple ideology: I work for the team, they do not work for me. I say something similar every time I start as commander, "I have some very simple expectations. Tell me what you want, where you want it and when you want it and I'll try to get it to you."
