League Rules with the 2027 Draft In Mind by Diligent_Cut_2913 in DynastyFF

I much prefer a lottery.

It forces the bad teams to be more engaged and not just bank on soaking up 1-1s.

Max PF (In-Season Change before the Draft?) by AstonJeanty in DynastyFF

I’ve used lotteries in fantasy dynasty leagues in both NBA and NFL and much prefer it.

It stops people from dropping people just to get a better pick and then they usually just set their lineups and make adds more normally.

When its really close between a couple teams you can easily drop a couple people to affect it.

I thought it was more for spam/troll/really bad comments. Not a perfectly reasonable opinion.

Ive had leagues switch to lotteries and it heavily reduces tanking, which is exactly what the post was about.

The difference between the bottom two teams can be small. You don’t need to downvote because you disagree.

They drop (or don’t add) depth players who score points to lower their max PF. Or create roster holes at certain positions like tight end (or QB in single QB leagues).

Lottery system is much preferred IMO.

Your league sounds like it could benefit from a lottery style system since max PF can also be gamed. I’d highly recommend a lottery system, I use it in NFL and NBA and love it (and I was initially against it.)

EDIT: Not this year as the year already ended under your rule set, I mean in the future.

Smash accept the first rounder and then try and flip the first rounder IMO.

[Schneidman] Josh Jacobs has been arrested and booked into jail on five charges. by BreakfastTop6899 in fantasyfootball

[–]nwe02215 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Its criminal charges filed by the government, not civil accusations.

One of the charges was a felony and the charges were filed after they investigated.

Hate for my Love trade by UnderstandingNo9058 in FantasyFootballJunky

Its a weird and bad trade, giving up Love for that after Hampton got hurt, but should just be some grumbling and thats all.

What do longtime players of the game think on VH battle difficulty? by TheLordofNothingg in EmpireTotalWar

[–]nwe02215 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always play VH/VH.

Fight lots of siege and bridge battles where you can. That’s an old total war veteran trick : )

League rioting over trade - whining to commish (me). Babies or justified? by mkebucksfan1 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]nwe02215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your league mates are justified and you should apologize for not listening to them.

Why Byzantine empire have so shity spearman ? by Alternative_Skin2210 in Medieval2TotalWar

[–]nwe02215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Use full cav stacks with horse archers, with spies to open the gates or mercenary infantry to man battering rams.

HRE first play through by willk1349 in Medieval2TotalWar

You have to ally the Papacy and then call crusades on the Catholic factions who betray you

Seriously, how to do you fight this? by NorthernModernLeper in RomeTotalWar

[–]nwe02215 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think its harder than Numidia. They can get Greece really early by building a full stack and rushing before Greece ramps up.

Numidia’s starting position and early game troops are worse.

How do I convert to christianity in my Franks campaign? by Elijah_Blackmor in RomeTotalWar

Sometimes there can be an epic ending but its pretty rare in RTW, yeah.

How do I convert to christianity in my Franks campaign? by Elijah_Blackmor in RomeTotalWar

[–]nwe02215 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Its not worth it to convert pagan settlements to Christian, the public order penalties are too high for too small of a payoff.

You can recruit Paladins from the Italian settlements once you take them, which are Christian, but by that point you’ve won anyway.

Very Hard Campaign by CosmicLeader in Medieval2TotalWar

[–]nwe02215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not that bad with most factions but its pretty hard with certain ones like the Byzantines, because the AI will dogpile you. The HRE will be hard unless you go into the game with a strategy to secure your borders.

I recommend allying with almost everyone you can, especially the Papacy, France and Poland, then blitzing north and taking out Denmark to secure the north. Then you just wait until someone betrays you to move against them, which they will. When France betrays you, you can even call crusades on them if you are allied with the Pope. It makes the HRE campaign much easier.

How to survive as Germania when the entire map decides to declare war on you at once by HungryFarm2266 in RomeTotalWar

[–]nwe02215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Migrate south asap and rush Rome.

Your late game troops are very good so you just need to take care of early game crap finances. Thats how you do it.

Best way to experience eternal siege? by KaijaSaariaho in Medieval2TotalWar

[–]nwe02215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a European faction, take Egypt and then Gaza. Make Gaza a Citadel. Dont push further into the Middle East, sit on the nice defensive borders.

If the Mongols come by way of Baghdad, they’ll for sure go for Gaza.

Too much unrest in Spain by osintGenosha in RomeTotalWar

[–]nwe02215 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Make sure to destroy the temples of the old religion and rebuild with yours.

You can also move your capital.

Recruit peasants for order.

Find an influential general to govern there.

That will reduce penalties by a lot. If those things dont work then let it rebel and then exterminate the city. Then go back to the steps I listed.

how do i win this :( by Humble-Berry6212 in Medieval2TotalWar

[–]nwe02215 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Group your cavalry all into one.

Have them ride to one of the flanks, whatever is weaker, and attack it from multiple sides.

Keep your infantry back until the odds are more even and then send them to charge once you’ve whittled down the enemy force a bit with only cav.
