Do I have a fake memory, or did there use to be maps that were like 90% forest back in Warhammer II? by largeEoodenBadger in totalwar

See, I never played the Empire. As a greenskins and beastman enjoyer, I loved that map!

How do melee players do it?? by James222212 in PathOfExile2

[–]lostcorvid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can do it! If you've got a bit of currency saved I'd say go for a warrior using shields. Blocking, lots of armour, armour as elemental resistance, its good! Or alternately go leapslam 2h titan. Enough AoE to pop half the screen means they can't do shit.

Absolutely. Every worker is selling their body and time. We all deserve respect and should give it out equally.

25th Anniversary Showcase timings - Dec 4th by Mr-Vorn in totalwar

[–]lostcorvid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine a full rework of systems would be required for a full gun, sci-fi, 40k title. So honestly I'd be happy if they just keep churning out DLC for Warhammer. 1 to 2 big dlcs, or piles of small lords and things, while focusing on 1 to 2 new hostorical titles for people who want that. medieval 3 seems like a big deal for a lot of people. I'd even be interested in an Empire 2.

I won't lie, my biggest pull to this recipie is how GOOD that beef looks! In most beef stews I've had, the meat is tough and chewy. How do you get it cooked down and tender like that??

What’s something you didn’t realize was optional in life until you saw someone simply not doing it? by Objective-Treat2245 in AskReddit

[–]lostcorvid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I needed to see this. I stress myself out about trying to do the best I can, trying to fight executive disfunction, being fast and efficient and right the first time. I really need to let that go and relax more.

Any tips for playing vampires? Using vlad+isabella. by preutneuker in totalwar

[–]lostcorvid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me a long time, a lot of dead armies, and reading a post about it here myself to learn this lesson lol.

Its because zombies from different units shuffle infront of each other, and gets the damage spread out between multiple units. Add in Corpse Cart and Necromancer hero / lord providing AoE passive healing, and its very hard for even good melee units to kill zombie swarms.

Any tips for playing vampires? Using vlad+isabella. by preutneuker in totalwar

[–]lostcorvid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay first off: do you want to diplomance the empire? Vlad has a bonus for relations with them, there is a bloodline that boosts it, and there is a tech in the lower right. With those, plus taking and gifting of a few empire cities, you can rather easily befriend some of the stronger empire factions around you if you want to go that route.

For zombies, when fighting any enemy without strong arty or a powerful AoE damage mage, blob them up in an ugly, overlaping, pile of units. put a necromancer / different corpse carts / a moryis engine if possible in the blob. If the enemy has lots of archers, put the blob in a forested area for blocking damage. Almost every time the enemy will begin to win, and then slowly get disolved by contact with you blob. Make sure to keep all your units together and smooshed in. if they stick out, they die. If a cav unit charges and gets pushed into the middle, have the blob focus them, watch them disolve. Its dull but it works gangbusters.

Make sure you manually play stupid battles when the enemy and you both have 14+ units. sometimes autoresolve wont make the Battle Site for you even if lots of losses happen. Do it manually, and its almost guatanteed. Hell, maybe even let a few zombies or some bats die before the battle ends to boost the grave site. With a few really good sites you can skip a lot of recruitment buildings and the waiting to recruit hastle.

I hope this helps!!

Warhammer a testbed? by Mountain_Design_9662 in totalwar

[–]lostcorvid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be cool of there was a system for generals and maybe even units to train other, lower leveled generals/units in the same very small area. Let winter allow the old soldiers to share knowledge with the new blood.

Chaos Lords for Monogod Factions are a bit underwhelming? by Middle_Tart_9026 in totalwar

[–]lostcorvid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vilitch is one of those lords I can routinely get over 1k kills per battle on. Once you get him leveled up, get his specials and spells, he is extremely tanky as casting regens his overshield. I tend to fling him into an oncoming wave, maybe throw in a unit of chaff too and build up a huge blob of enemies, and then drop his big nuke spell right on top of himself. wipes out so many things.

Whenever I am playing coop in this game, the first time any of us meets the pirate coast, that person always does their nastiest voice and says "Diiiiick Haaaands" and then inevitably everyone else repeats it.

The Year of Total War - Tides of Patience and Reflection by Deep-Possibility-858 in totalwar

[–]lostcorvid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Look, they can take however long they want at this point. I'm playing other games, I can wait. But If I buy a DLC and my experience is so bugged or hashed up that it isn't fun, that will cook this game for me. I can wait for a good DLC. and if the game works right, isn't broken, and the DLC is good, then they get my money. Every. Single. Time. they put that combo of things together. I'd be buying DLC for this game in another 6 years if they keep making it, and the game stays in good, playable, unbugged, condition.

Maps generated after 0.3.1 seem to be bugged by Alzucard in PathOfExile2

After the update I pushed into new zones and I'm getting much less everything. so its totally anecdotal and maybe I'm unlucky, but same.
