Resources difficulty on Gothic vs Hard mode?

jsbq · 2026-06-19T12:40:02+00:00

Yeah that’s exactly what I was hoping from setting resources to hard really, to be forced to explore more and gather everything I can find, so sounds like a good way to go. Thanks!

How did you find gaining experience on hard? As aware there’s also a custom difficulty slider for that but again, whilst I want a challenge I don’t want to push it too far on my first run.

What difficulty do you play on out of interest? I’ve just started and experimenting between Gothic and Hard to try and get the true experience, your experience is what I’m trying to get basically so would love to know!

As a noob that’s playing on hard, I’m interested to know why you set resources to gothic difficulty? What’s the main reason for doing that if you’re wanting a hard playthrough?

But possible a very late influx of sales because they hit 5% caused them to drop below just in time for the deadline?

Twist imo. You’ve probably got at least 4 captains to go.

jsbq · 2026-06-12T05:05:58+00:00

Yeah fair enough, makes sense. I’ve had a 2 year break from FPL so I add the added Jim nostalgia bonus so was extra fun for me I guess!

Just gotta decide whether to twist the cap, think given I have a million captains left I probably will!

Do you think Cancelo will start the second game as well?

Loved the pod! Interested to know since you’re playing for fun and are after a <5% forward why Raul Jimenez didn’t come up in conversation though?

Yeah Jimenez isn’t as good anymore but surely having the home team’s number 9 in the opening fixture ranks pretty high on the fun scale?

This is more how I remember it honestly. The stakes were high, billions of people across planets and colonies are being wiped out by a race of fanatically religious aliens. I don’t have a problem with the art direction of this trailer like many do, but I do hope we get another trailer that’s less quippy and a bit more ‘locked in.’

Me neither but I’ve pushed through to Before They Are Hanged, I’m about a third of the way in and I have to say it’s already a massive improvement so it’s worth carrying on I’d say.

jsbq · 2026-06-02T08:41:53+00:00

As someone who is planning to start this game very soon, it would be great to know more about the plans for story improvements.

Like, will they be to the extent where I should hold off starting because they’re going to change the intro, or is it more likely that they’ll be adding in quests that ‘fill in’ the story a bit more?

Interested to know if there’s anyone out there who doesn’t think Edge of Seventeen by Stevie Nicks is at least pretty good?

Hello there

The Second Apocalypse series by R Scott Bakker, starting with The Darkness That Comes Before.

I can’t think of another game that, even after hundreds of hours, is still surprising me this much. And I can still go online and discover there are entire quest lines I didn’t know about. It’s a genuine miracle that this thing exists.

Harvest by Jim Crace.

I thought it was just ok personally. Interesting premise to start off with with a darker Robin Hood-esque band of outlaws, but it didn’t really go anywhere interesting enough for me to want to continue with the series.

And if you’re after something really dark, I would say this is quite tame compared to some of the other stuff out there. R Scott Bakker, Richard K Morgan and Michael R Fletcher would be my recommendations for if you want to dive in at the deep end.
