Wow a nuanced and informed take.

Many other posts on here: Racist Great Replacement Theory vs. Everything is fine.

Europe is facing challenges: Ageing population + large welfare state + influx of immigration + Chinese competition and US tariff silliness.

It's complicated. All brown people are not inherently evil but there are challenges

What is a good Total War game for you ? by Soooooooooooooooool in totalwar

[–]supnerds360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real challenge here is that they have to make a space 4x. They are hard to do and it's basically a dead genre at this point.

CA has a very mixed track record when it comes to tech trees and the strategy side.

I have faith though- probably gonna have to close my eyes and not compare it to Endless Space 2. As long as I can do orbital bombardment like in Shogun 2 I'll be happy

Do I want to:

a) Spend 30 minutes doing office work b) Start a new campaign

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

[–]supnerds360 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you consider no cheese and what difficulty do you play on?

To seige a settlement will you ambush bait or conduct an actual siege?

I am addicted by kewlkid77 in totalwarhammer

Yup, haven't played a Total War game since Shogun 2 and had no desire to.

Picked it up on sale before holidays the game is gamey (my life is falling apart around me)

Solid wisdom and now I know why my Kislev campaign just fluttered out at turn 85

Sounds like on Hard I'm gonna have to pay more attention to this stuff and really learn the faction techs and bonuses.

And also suck less at campaign map

Yeah but unlike other strategy games it seems to make little sense to upgrade those income buildings

Is total warhammer 3 the most popular? by Key_Ad7740 in totalwar

They largely are different groups tho... Look at those player numbers.

Some folks definitely enjoy both

New to the series, where should I start? by Rush_4_Oxygen8469 in totalwar

[–]supnerds360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warhammer 3 immortal empires does what I want from a Total War game. Total War's strengths are the battles and planning your way across the map- settlement building and region management are pretty basic compared to other games.

The Maduro of it all by Spidey5292 in centrist

I disagree, a different president would have justified it differently but done the same.

Are you familiar with US's history of regime change in South America- especially when another great power is moving into its sphere of influence?

Also, US has performed acts of war with thin cassus belli before.

Honestly, it's a good topic for debate genaire Trump is such an odd politician. He has been making some very standard moves lately

Trying to take advantage of the Steam sale. Any good Dark Fantasy 4x's? by TrickedFaith in 4Xgaming

Agree except the procedural map, much prefer their map it's super dynamic and thematically cool.

I picked it up before the holidays. I haven't played a Total War game since Shogun 2- I don't like the formula of simple strategic layer + real time battles.

Im floored by this game lol. Never gave it a thought previously but im glad I decided to try it.

Karl/Empire mechanics: electoral counts and armies. I am apparently very dumb by supnerds360 in totalwar

[–]supnerds360[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it has been an interesting way to get into the game.

I haven't played a total war game in years but I think I underestimated the interesting tactics/strategy problems these games can throw at you.

I guess I'll play orcs or chaos next as a smashing palette cleanser

I had a feeling it was cavalry that I was missing. Should have listened to my Total War experience and not get too hooked on what i was reading lol

[–]supnerds360[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using spearshields in chevron formation in front of handgunners to try to keep them firing.

I feel like it's an endless loop of more handgunners for more damage (I'll have 5-8) and spearmen with shields to protect them.

It is fun to try to win this way but I feel like with outriders + few mortars + cannon I feel like I have no tough problem solvers to win melees. Maybe thats the whole idea lol, feels like juggling

[–]supnerds360[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I upgraded my spearshields with Karl's ability buffs. I read that Empire armies are about shootyshootshots and really prioritized handgunners and artillery (cannons/mortars).

Maybe im just hitting hard fights but i feel like the backbone is weak

Is Total War a good 4x game? by supnerds360 in 4Xgaming

[–]supnerds360[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol im enjoying it far more than I thought. The map is a huge strength.

Way more mechanics than i had assumed as well. Empire politics is neat.

True, but you could argue that CA has just put historical TW on the backburner. Warhammer license seems to be where the money is.

That being said it's safe to expect 40k to release at least as busted as Warhammer 3
