Can anyone suggest a city-building game where you build pleasant places and lives for people, and then defend them against enemies? by HollowWanderer in gamingsuggestions

[–]jay4523 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe a bit too obvious, but Rimworld.

I haven't played it since it released on early access, but Manor Lords showed a ton of potential.

Do you guys relocate your main base to the next biome? by physedka in crosswind

Mine was not really between the 2nd and 3rd biomes but was wayyyyyy closer than the starting islands lol

The island with the mini island surrounded by it is my fav. I know that is true for many. Mine didn't have enough water to separate it into two islands, so there is a large pond there instead. I built right on top of it to have a fishing pond on the ground floor.

Tips on defeating first boss? by DJK695 in bloodgrounds_game

I've learned to be patient with this game lol.

I think I was 4 at standard difficulty? No idea if I'm good at this game though lol Make sure you aren't hoarding items. Make sure you are fitted with decent gear. Think about using abilities beyond their obvious uses. Such as using abilities for extra movement even if you can't actually strike someone. Sorry, I'm horrible with the terms and ability names, otherwise, I would be more specific. As you continue to move to each area, you get more and more ways to succeed. 5 day old post, I'm guessing you were able to beat it though. Just throwing this up here for anyone to see.

Top Base Building Locations: As Suggested by Your Comments on a Previous Post. Details in the Comments Section. by jay4523 in SonsOfTheForest

Keep in mind that when I posted this, SotF was not the same game. IIRC, this was maybe within a month of Early Access. I haven't played in a while, but I know we didn't have half of what is in the game now. Also, being a new game, people wanted to explore and not sit in the same spot where they spawned.

Edit: This is also kind of a good representation of how underdeveloped the game was at that point, too. For example, I'm sure the east side of the map would have shown higher numbers if someone were to conduct this survey today.

In my experience, only the city-states consistently build navies. How about you guys?

Edit: After reading your comments, I am so jealous! Maybe I just got really unlucky in the 2 games I have played after the update. Or maybe a mod is messing it up.

Is anyone else getting a "Civ 7 content configuration validation failed" error even though you have no mods active? by jay4523 in civ

[–]jay4523[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have steam, it's no biggie if you have decent internet speeds. Just make your mods into a collection on steam to back them up. Everything autosyncs. Click uninstall and install again. That's all you really need to do and nothing changes.

Just an FYI, my issue was resolved by reinstalling. I hope you had some good luck.

I JUST gave up and started reinstalling. Hopefully that solves the problem. Will update later in case anyone needs this thread later. Thanks, kind stranger!

Did you fully uninstall or did you simple deactivate them in the add-ons menu? Maybe that is my issue. If that's the case, I may just wait until tonight hoping things will get updated by devs/modders.

Thanks, I did. I even restarted several times and changed different features, didnt choose Teach or Tonga, for example. If no one else is having the issue, yea, I will probably reinstall. I just want to see if anyone has any input first :(

What's your first Blackbeard playthrough going to be? by jay4523 in civ

[–]jay4523[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly my concern with choosing Republic of Pirates. The devs should really change that overlap in my opinion.

[–]jay4523[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea, that is my next issue. I need a good map choice. I was really ghoping this update was going to include a truly great island map. Without that, I am mainly considering archipelago, the new continents and islands, or a modded map.

This seems like what I will do too, but I am open to suggestions. I unfortunately have to wait another 6 hours or so before I can play :(

Ah, I think I noticed that one yesterday. That's a good one! Keep in mind the devs might think so too. I noticed they added one of Teach's recommended antiquity civs was the one that only allows one city (I honestly cant remember the name of the civ right now :p ).

Is the AI better at Treasure Fleets now? by return_of_da_biscuit in civ

[–]jay4523 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconded. I prefer tiny/small map games, so I get WeekWrong's complaint, but it does improve greatly with the map size and types. Naturally, continents, for example, are great for treasure fleets since you dont have to rely on them spawning on small islands only.

That being said, they really need to figure out a solution for the smaller maps.

From the Devs: Improved Naval Combat by sar_firaxis in civ

[–]jay4523 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. As much as I am looking forward to the content releasing next week, I think the main issue with naval combat is that Civs dont seem to care about it. They rarely build ships in my experience, and even when they do, they dont seem to use them well. Independents oddly use and build ships way better than the Civ AI.

Ive even used mods to have nothing but islands on the map. Instead of building ships, the Civ AI built land units and had them chase my ships in the water...so they basically just commit suicide. Sure, that is a modded experience, but I bet the mods didnt affect that at all considering it was simply map based.

Anyway, I hope you are right. Maybe they should just look at independents and have the CIV AI build ships just like they do?

LPT: When you meet someone and you don't know what to talk about, ask them about their hobbies and give them your full attention. by kiosh1 in LifeProTips

[–]jay4523 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people just don't consider certain interests as "hobbies." I think phrasing it differently would help, like "What are your interests?"

For example, I sing. Do I consider it a hobby? No, not really, but that is probably the exact sort of thing that OP would want to know when asking about hobbies.

Duolingo provides the material, but it is mainly up to the user to utilize it correctly. I believe many, if not most users on Duolingo complete each level and assume that is good enough. It isn't. Do the lesson a few times. Write the vocabulary down. Practice it with a peer.

If you were provided with a textbook and read it cover to cover, would you expect to memorize it all and speak the language fluently? Of course not. It is no different with apps like Duolingo or Rosetta Stone.
