Combat is the same nauseatingly bad formula they've been using since 13 where shit happens so fast you don't even see half of what's going on. It's so frustrating to see them continue to ruin the franchise with this, these games would be much more interesting with a more deliberate and...

Wow Tuco already cheating how bad can one person be

How does Octopath Traveler compare against some of the classic titles? It's on sale on Steam for $30.

You can play a Fanatic Purifier, Determined Exterminator, Driven Assimilator, or Devouring Swarm. Late game you can grab Colossus perk to get a total war CB as well (though it's a bit bugged and requires at least 1 claim right now.) Probably mods that give everyone a total war CB from the...

Is the combat in this going to be the same shit from FF15?

Someone tell these fuckers to release BWL already. I been raid logging since mid October now.

It was the opposite of complexity, it was actually because the only real resource that existed in any given battle was time. So unlike earlier games where fighting battles drained you of resources for future battles, every fight in 13 had to be able to fuck you over else it be just free levels...

If you don't have TW War 1 then pick up that over the DLC so you can play the Mortal Empires campaign. The DLC are generally focused on 1 or 2 factions at a time - if you know which races you're interested in or the play styles that you like then you can make a more informed decision. The...

Holden giving me vibes of that weiner main character on Mass Effect Andromeda, the pathfinder can't remember his actual name.

It's pretty obvious the source material for this season sucked dick. You have season 3 end on a huge potential expansion on the scope of the story and then season 4 has this myopic focus on the lives of 50 unimportant savages.

First run will be as Egypt, my adopted country.

Balthier is the main protagonist of FF12. Once you small brain idiots realize that the story is actually pretty wonderful.

Early game just keep your trade focused planets to within 6 jumps of your capital so you can collect there and avoid any traded routes - always replace your capital station with trade hubs rather than shipyards when you have a second station up. Trade values that high are probably late game...

Machine empires suck dick right now, but Determined Assimilators are probably the strongest empire type in the game. The important part is you get a total war CB at the start and any conquests allow you to assimilate rather than purge all the population (unlike purifiers, devouring swarms, and...

This is a virus, you should ban him

Coach has forsaken you, he wouldn't even log in to Salty's discord link after recently reading the Swamp Donkey thread - which he found very interesting.

Here's what the coach would have looked like on stream. Lazy boy recliner fully leaned back. Ratty gray sweat pants with no shirt. Yuge fucking dip in the mouth. Cans and cups full of dip spit sitting around that he was too lazy to remove, best is when he accidentally drinks from one. Empty...

The new systems and mechanics feel like a lot healthier direction for the long term future of the game.

Seems pretty obvious that Smith will be turned by a copy of his son. I'll even call it - President John Smith.

Don't listen to Putin. In general you should try to maximize the adjacency bonuses for the districts which is rarely done by placing them all together. Campuses surrounded by mountains, industrial zone surrounded by mines/quarries, commercial next to rivers, harbors next to water resources...

Yeah you can have the dagger-based damage trait, the thunder-based damage trait, or the shadow-based damage trait. Oh yeah, there are a bunch of class specific traits as well, but those all suck dog shit.

This iteration behaves exactly like in Legion except they keep the numbers smaller rather than trillions. Did you think you'd get to log in and be auto granted Neck levels?

Depends a lot on the specific fights. I hit 12k on the Patchwerk like dude today at Waycrest Manor today because there was no movement or target switching. If I can get another Streaking Stars trait on chest I might be able to pop 14-15k - it's insane for short fights and I don't think the...

I don't see how this is true because there are obvious counter-examples like TBC, but regardless wasn't the move toward basing abilities on attack power instead of weapon damage supposed to take care of this? Even if not why is it that hard to just shift caster stats to depend as much on the...

Does anyone notice the lack of magical DPS on the meters? Except for big Mage AOE pulls it seems like good melee is always out damaging good ranged.

This guy is a moron if he's spamming sunfire. I dont believe there is a build that makes that viable.

Fucking disaster launch

This better be good, it looks like Netrunner died for this.

The number of pops and tiles that the AI needs to consider or simulate for explodes in the late game as every planet gets colonized. The difference is very noticeable if you play on a small galaxy vs a larger one.

That would be fucking retarded. In wild you could coin + unstable portal into a 7 x 2/4 board on turn 1.

This game is dead outta ideas.

I don't see a lot of value in a fleet that is forced off the field but "wins" the casualty metric. A retreating fleet is gone for a long time and while it's gone you're not repairing it, you're not using that fleet capacity. If you're a big empire with no gateway/wormhole stuff yet, then it...

Just be a shitlord and use 100% torpedo/autocannon corvettes.

That's just some guy's buillshit about how things should work in theory. If you want practical advice you need to look at combat testing. https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/the-large-fleet-collider-2-0-fleet-balance.1071646/

There is no point to Cruisers, sure you can run away from Battleships but the torpedo Corvettes will run you down and murder you.

It's a fairly easy problem to solve, just link the system penalty to the number of unconnected systems. Or just remove the system penalty and increase the planet penalty (I think this is appropriate) since basically size 8 planets are always a benefit right now.

I have trouble getting anything done as my gameplay degenerates into stealing everything I can every time I load it up.

You have to be a complete autist to enjoy the game in its current state.

Not enjoying the update at all. They've slowed the early game down to a crawl, if you get no space minerals in your close systems you're just completely fucked because the mineral sinks are enormous now.

Everyone is researching constantly. You need to increase the science output of your empire. That means either through more citizens (bigger/more cities) or building Campuses and their related buildings.
