>>2171032if you're not a machonist and not playing ironman save your game nationalize everything and see how it affects the gdp of your country.
>>2171044It goes up for the purposes of GP ranking and minting, which is all I care about.
>>2171010nationalize wargoal now doesn't require you to invade england? based if truelast time I tried to nationalize from the ottomans I had to occupy half of the old world
>>2171044nationalizing shouldn't change your GDP by muchonly reason you want to do it is to get much bigger reinvestement bonuses and build a capitalist classmost of your income is gonna come from income tax laws and minting
>>2171075Unsure if it's BPM or UH, but you only have to own and hold all of your own states to nationalize. Britain folded fairly quickly, but the US had such high pop fervor that I had to go invade them.
With No Compromise, No Surrender ( and the Czech Content Pack ) rolling out in the new future, what are your thoughts on it? And how do you feel about them adding in Seaplane Tenders as a Naval Unit?Old Thread >>2070984
>>2169015How meta is it to build tanks targeting 6.4 km/h, so they can be supported by cavalry or bicyclists instead of motorized?
>>2169034Nta. Saying meta this meta that is silly for MP with how many different mods and multiplayer cirklejerks there are and how differently they play or limit themselves with house rules. Having to metagame SP in this game is very silly. That said it's not a bad idea to have strong linebreak divs and then speedier divs that exploit and encircle.
Is this a good design for medium tanks?
>>2171060I would make it faster but besides that it looks alright
>>2169034Not sure about cyclists but the reason cavalry aren't used is that they're function as their own category instead of being included in "infantry, mot/mech" so they don't get as many stat bonuses.Motorized aren't much more expensive than leg infantry in practice so there's not really any benefit to excluding them. If you didn't care about speed, you could replace it with leg infantry to eliminate the fuel cost. The really important thing is just hp. Tanks have terrible hp and are expensive, so on their own they'd suffer crippling losses in combat. Padding the division with ~50% infantry amps up the hp value so that your expensive tanks suffer fewer losses. Leg and Mot have the same hp value, while Mech has the best in the game (a big reason to rush mech out if possible)
I am noob how should i approach this battle
>>2166921This isn't a warhammer thread, I'm fairly sure everyone here has dealt with Milan.
>>2166392DLC unit weapon
>>2167295Well yeah, it's just that it has no reason to exist because the DLC weapon has the exact same stats as the base matchlock. Had they given mounted gunners the shogun_matchlock it wouldn't have made any difference.
>>2166927They don't survive long enough to backstab me.
>Be peasant with gun>Ultra eager to shoot rich nobilityPraiseworthy display
I enjoy games where you can customize your troops as much as possible. For example, being able to choose their weapons and armor is really fun. However, I’ve noticed that not many games offer this feature. I love watching my troops fight with the weapons I picked out for them or seeing them wear the gear I selected.just like modded mount and blade
>>2167996Grand Tactician Civil War lets you assign regiments weapons and choose their uniform on recruitment as well.Pretty sure you can name them as well
Battle Brothers lets you do this. Each piece of armor is modeled on your troops, as are their weapons.
>>2170540>Battle BrothersAnytime I've looked into that game, mostly streams, all people are doing is fucking around in the menus. That coupled with the abhorrent art style I just don't get the appeal when something like War Tales exists.
>>2170561>That coupled with the abhorrent art style I just don't get the appealSpeaking as someone who used to think the same way, it really does grow on you
>>2170561I went into it blind, played about 300 hours then stopped, it's got fun flavor and it can be addicting but then you realize how much min maxxing shit there actually is and you start hating it.

>>2170815I think the Sassanians are a better example, they were a noble house who declared independence and after the Parthians were busy game of thronesing each other the other nobles of the empire joined up with them.
>>2170632we can light that on fire right
>>2159461I'd do everything in my power to delete or change Bannerlord's leveling system to that of warband. As for mods I'll just try to copy all the mods that add RPG aspects.

How come your /vst/ mods let you have THREE heroes threads?
>>2169820he's true you know. also this is such an obvious shill thread. Whatever they're paying these public relation harpies it's far too much, they're abysmal as this.
>>2170924>Walkha, once obsessed with the Abyss, pushed himself to the brink through forbidden gooning rituals until the changes nearly consumed him. Forced to stop by the feds, he fixated on a new challenge - Hel'Ghat, the enigmatic transbian 764 cultist who left his parents' basement to forge a fortress in the frozen wastes. To others, Hel'Ghat merely tolerates Walkha, but their friendship runs deeper - each sees in the other a force they cannot control. Hel'Ghat is an unyielding wall, and Walkha, relentless as ever, refuses to turn away.
um guys?>There are no black heroes despite all the faggot heroes because asians won't buy shit with black characters and faggots are also racists, despite claiming not to be, in addition to being shit eating sodomites.Great work Tim Bender and Denis Federov, this Hooded Horse/Ubisoft/Unfrozen clusterfuck is going places. I think it's time to do YET ANOTHER REDESIGN before I tip off gaming journalists because you know they love this shit.That is all
>demo so successful they drop even more unplanned contentdemo chads FEASTING>we get mechswelp time to wait for monday
>>2170920A quick look at the operation missions, and at looks like they added some more flavor to the existing missions templates, like instead of destroying weapons supplies now you get to destroy the pirate dropshipsI havent seen the other operation so far, so I will assume it comes after you finish the first oneThe only changes to starting equipment I saw not mentioned here >>2168538 was a vehicle autocannon and a infantry target designator which allows you to mark units, plus it is needed to fire "guided weapons and off map assets"
I know this is a different general. but anyone here plays Lands of Lords? are the servers down for anyone else?
>>2170971no, no idea
new unit, looks like garbage
eh, its just one operation againits just there is some new mission types + you start with some extra ammo bags and walker+autocannonthat is all

In less than 24 hours, Park Sang Hyun, also known as Soma, will defeat Bisu, qualifying for the ASL 20 final, wherein he will defeat Snow, thereby avenging Soulkey's aberrant defeat and keeping the title in Zerg hands for the fifth ASL in a row. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
no one cares about soulkey lol. he's a hasbeen.
>>2170927Has been in your mom.

>Close this channel until further notice. The only sound i want to hear from the Sakala is her hull explosingYou just know that if this game was written like HW3, Rachel, Fleet Intel and the Sakala and Kapisi captains would be on a constant skype call for the next forty five minutes arguing, coping, crying and begging everyone to stop shooting each other because that makes us no better than the gaalsien

I am terrible at strategy/rts and I've wanted to learn AoE 2 enough to be semi competent and play online matches for a while. Finally forced myself today to start learning seriously.I've beaten moderate twice in a row rather quickly now and I'm getting better with shortcuts, forced a surrender before imp actually. But hard just fucking face rapes me mid/late. I can hold the AI off early when it inevitably rushes you, but I start to slip somewhere in the mid or late game in terms of military production, eco, etc.
>>2170760Completely different datasets, so no.
>>2170840WHY NOT THE FUCK NOT? I JUST WANT A DLC I CAN PLAY AOE1 CIVS IN AOE2 IS THAT FUCKING HARD.CONQUERORS MOD DID IT, WHY THE FUCK CAN'T A DEVELOPER WHO IS GETTING PAID TO DO IT?IT'S SIMPLE, I GIVE YOU MONEY FOR AOE1 CONTENT IN AOE2 YOU GIVE ME AOE1 CIVS IN AOE2 RANK AND UNRANKED.NO HERE'S SOME DUMBASS RESTRICTION THAT STOPS ME FROM HAVING FUN.WE SHOULD'VE NEVER LEFT MSN GAMING ZONE.
>>2170819Keep at it, hard requires you to actually play forward. New or inexperienced players tend to stick to their starting area and build an empire there.Hard mode AI will actually push your shit in if you don't move forward and start building aggressively. Either that or you trush it or some shit and force an early surrender.Alternative I guess is to play a turtle civ and spam castles/towers/walls and bleed the AI out for 3 hours.
>play custom campaign>not sure if mod fucked up and made it too difficult or if I just suck
