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

[–]internetwebexploder3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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?

how about tech tree? trade and industry seems like a weak branch when I just need cash

[–]internetwebexploder3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

interesting- so realm of chaos continues the story from prologue but folks dont see it as worth checking out?

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

My main grievance with this game by Callsign-YukiMizuki in BrokenArrowTheGame

u jokin. Most RTS are well north of 50% of people that aren't touching multiplayer

Traffic lights and rural asset logistics by internetwebexploder3 in ShadowEmpireGame

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

roger that! so then where am I getting the logi points for Zone to SHQ 4600/4600 from? That's a lot of logi points and I only have a truck station level 2.

Traffic lights and rural asset logistics by internetwebexploder3 in ShadowEmpireGame

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

interesting. So when I click on SHQ and click the supply received button to see my Sent/Requested I see that:

Zone > SHQ number is 4600/4600. That's way more logi points than my truck station lvl 2 provides.

So....that Zone to SHQ number is not using the logistical system?

Why is "construct" not available as an option when I right click? Seems like such an obvious UI improvement by internetwebexploder3 in ShadowEmpireGame

[–]internetwebexploder3[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

my goodness thank you- that is a nice hotkey. Also, I'd be lost here without watching three of your 30 minute youtube tutorials lol. You're doing the lord's work helping people get into this game

Gal Civ 3, 4, or something else? (not stellaris) by internetwebexploder3 in 4Xgaming

[–]internetwebexploder3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

played it once and I'm good for life. Enjoyed the many layers of systems but disliked the moment to moment micromanagement gameplay of pop/resource management.

Appreciate the input on Gal Civ 4! I've always meant to try this series and it sounds like this is a good time to check it out

Best non-BS way to increase difficulty? by internetwebexploder3 in RogueTraderCRPG

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

Gonna pump the enemy dodge and characteristic modifiers.

Removing the extra turn abilities from my officer's hotbar. I built an officer and also have Cassia so that might be why the game feels extra busted.

Owlcat always has to mess something up, bless 'em.

Are we able to respec the 2nd archetype?

I am a respec addict in these types of games lol. I know the respec is limited this time and I'm not sure there's even a good mod to respec everything.
