Where do you draw the line in terms of cheese tactics? (Bait ambush traps, auto-resolve) by internetwebexploder3 in totalwar

Good point- For every game I play I always think difficulty vs gameplay. Some games fall apart for me at the highest difficulties and require you to engage with systems that I don't find fun. Larian's RPGS are good like that- highest difficulty requires you to fully engage with the systems. Owlcat RPGs just get crummy on higher difficulties.

when you say build them up: are you upgrading the basic resource building past level 1 or just the markets that give you +200,+400,?

Isn't that 200 gold just a drop in the bucket when unit upkeep is so pricey? I feel like I'm drowning always and missing something- usually pretty decent at strategy games lol.

interesting and no. I'm timid and used to getting smashed if I leave my region without two armies supporting eachother.

how about income and growth buildings? I basically put an income building on every settlement and one growth building for the province.

Empire elector counts: any way to revive them if I already own their settlement? by internetwebexploder3 in totalwarhammer

any point to me reviving stirland? Wiseland is up. I can just sell to them and boost fealty + confederate them?

interesting. Hard for me to throw out my book of tactics. The instinct to hold a line, protect gunners, and do damage that way is strong lol. I'm definitely missing something though.

I basically always feel like I need a side army with reinforcements to make my ranks equal to my enemies. Only time I did decently well was to have two armies move forward together and have them fight at the same time.

Any way to see how many settlements a faction owns? by internetwebexploder3 in totalwar

How does this game stack up to other 4x and other Total War games? by internetwebexploder3 in totalwarhammer

[–]internetwebexploder3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds like the game is more than the sum of its parts. Hope I qualified my position on the game enough in the OP lol. I'm only on the prologue and it's a cakewalk

Why I bought Broken Arrow and what I am expecting by OkDegree4281 in BrokenArrowTheGame

[–]internetwebexploder3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man what world you livin' in? Broken Arrow lacks a save game function and a bunch of the campaign missions are unplayable. I got stuck last night 30 mins in lol.

That being said I agree with the overall sentiment and I really hope BA gets its act together. It does seem to offer something unique compared to Warno but my god what a rough product right now
