All they need to do is get rid of the bloat, hire 10 guys from Anbennar and let Joahn direct a new Anbennar together with J and it will sell a bazillion copies.Trying to copy other companies is retarded, everyone knew millenia was gonna be a masive flop, just focus on GRAND STRATEGY and make it good, no more victoria slop, no moe space garbage. A good, low fantasy late medieval with polished mechanics a\nd production value. It bothers me so much that there isint a single person inside this fucking company management team to slap some sense into them and make shit the people actualy want to buy, its like creative assembly all over again.

Basically, the idea for the mod is that as Argalia tried to reach for the Library's Light even as he was dying for the second time, he actually managed to "grab onto it" and remain inside the Library in some capacity, which didn't become obvious until later when the entirety of the Library got reactivated again way out in the Outskirts. Now he's there and he gets his own floor with some influence over it, but the Library at large is still Angela's, and he also can't leave just like the rest of librarians. So he's kinda pissed that he's stuck there like that, and the rest of librarians are also kinda pissed that he's there, but neither can do much about it. The Realization has Angela and Roland (alongside Shekhinah assistants) come kick his butt again, not because they particularly care, but because they're wary of him syncing with the Library any further.

Tbdesu, the game was just more magical when people were arguing over small details and making esoteric schizo theories. Now the mask has slipped and the director is revealed to be a competent writer and not some schizo who puts tons of thought and detail into everything. I doubt Philip was ever based off of the historical Philip. I don't really think the director ever thought about a shekinah, and it just seems like the director is making up stuff as he goes. But oh well.

Oh, and in case anyone feels discouraged because of Daat setting a rather pessimistic precedent - don't worry, it's janky as hell not because floor mods are fundamentally cursed and hard to make, but rather because it was largely made in a time before modern modding utilities and sensibilities were developed (i am actually participating in unfucking it as well, a big part of which boils down to replacing old "reinvented wheels" with modern tried-and-tested tools). With those in mind, making Shekhinah should be a cakewalk compatibility/stability-wise.

Nah, just target prioritisation and good micro of Giselle with her line attack. She's going to need to recover her vigor at some point as well. If you push left or right from the starting position you can get to some overlooking ledges which are generally pretty safe. Give Albus Wind Gust and he and Giselle can just shoot ducks as they try to run up the stairs.

Yes it does, it's a mastery set that makes Albus heal 10% of his max health whenever damage brings him below 33%.

>>1809075
The way you worded it made me think of skills like Anne's healing, not Second Wind's regeneration

>>1808912
You could try giving Albus a potion (useful) instead of a psi-stone extractor (complete waste of 1/5 of your equipment slots)

>>1809096
They don't go into the same slots. I assume he already ate his potion. Psi stone extractors go into the grenade slot

This has absolutely nothing to do with why the writing is shit, you pretentious windbag. It's because every character is defined by exactly one personality trait and they never ever shut up about it.

Tried this in a team game, it's good against emplacements and bunkers but after the few first shells all other targets are either dead or moved away.
I think it's more effective to fire your barrages simultaneously rather than consecutively unless you're zoning the enemy from a VP or something.

>>1808945
You could probably continually fire at their retreat point/medic tent and cause a lot of manpower bleed that way. They would be exposed if they're firing that far forward though.

On the topic of indirect fire, I've been experimenting with the US mortar pit. I remember it used to be really strong, but lately I can't see a reason to build it over the 'normal' mortar (apart from if you really want to save MP).
It takes a long time to get vet 1, and it's difficult to keep it alive since it dies pretty quick. Things like the DAK mortar/infantry gun can outrange it quite easily, so it gets barraged quickly, or they can rush in with an infantry squad+light vehicle and destroy it quickly.
Any tips, or is it just in a bad state now?

>>1808994
I think the mortar pit's strength is that it's only 100 manpower so you can spam multiple of them and by the time an opponent kills one, another one is ready.
Personally I never spammed them, nebelwerfers and bishops are more my speed, but once I saw a player using a recovery vehicle to out-repair the damage while it was getting shelled, guess that works well.

>>1809062
I was thinking of that too, only bottleneck would be the 75 muni cost to building multiple pits. I might try it one match for fun though, might be effective. 75 muni is 2.5 mines, so it's not cheap but still do-able.

Vlandians are scary to fight. i'll go as far to say that they're the hardest to fight against if they chose to advance slowly.
>they spread out their crossbowmen
>shieldwall advance with infantry
>charge infantry and cav while their crossbowmen shower you with bolts
>if you manage to beat the first infantry and cav wave, the crossbowmen retreat and shower you again while the new wave is keeping you busy
i found the best way to deal with them is to have archers advance on the crossbowmen and kill them off first.
and i still sustain decent casualties

I found that talking to Unthery about the Battle of Pendraic is a decent primer about them; hit Vlandian ranged divisions with your heavy cavalry to get them to fuck off. His implication that cataphracts don't feel crossbows isn't accurate but cavalry can pretty much bully them; worst is later when Vlandians blob most of Battania, and Vlandian armies are like 1/3 Battanian, the fians mixed with the crossbowmen can be tough and the twohanders of the fians can be a danger to your cavalry attacks on them.
Your point of reinforcement waves is dangerous with Vlandia given their heavy-cavalry centric strategy; even after a major rout of their first-line cavalry and infantry, their crossbowment can hold a skirmish line enough to make their opponents tired for the second wave. Vlandians are basically Warband era Calradians, if you have a ranged weapon sit on a hill, if you don't, F1-F3 baby!

I guess that instead of reading through the Encyclopedia I was supposed to read the Beta patch notes to know that torpedo fighters are FUBAR in 7.0. Also, it's the first time I'm really trying out the Asgard, always preferred the Raptor and the Erlking, how can this be considered balanced?

Why does the X series have idiotic terms for ship classes?
Destroyers are escort ships, and light ones at that. Why are they considered 'capital' ships? Why don't cruisers exist in X?

>>1808925
You're seeing the same mirrored in modern naval doctrine. Cruisers that still exist are leftovers. You have carriers and you have destroyers. Cruisers are deprecated as they are more expensive than destroyers but don't do anything that destroyers don't already do better.
