it's true. i guess most warno players are yuros. my other warno fren is in yurop while im in the US (PST). makes it a little tough to play vidya.

i just have the thread pinned and open /vst/ a few times a day for /aoeg/, so i see when there are replies pretty quickly.

I'd be up for a 4chaniel game too at some point (far from great either), I am GMT+2

WH1 comes with Wurrzag as a free download. I strongly recommend him because he specializes in savage orcs, which consist of exactly five units: two types of infantry, one type of archers, and two types of cavalry. Just make an army of these five units, and get all the bonuses for them as you level him up. Specializing in a basic army makes him perfect for beginners.

>>2299564
Empire is not beginner friendly. It's surrounded by too many enemies and is jack of all trades, with emphasis on master of none. You will get your shit pushed in if you don't know what you're doing.
Cathay is similar to Empire, but is much more focused and has fewer enemies.

IIRC the artbook explicitly mentions Lily isn't blood related and so many children were left orphaned by the catastrophe there was a big government campaign to encourage people to adopt.

Of course this doesn't answer why Lily is tracking Albus's father's movements.

They do only fire one shot. Their volley is just cosmetic.

Proof. Also note that they don't even have Hemorrhage. They do have Close Fire and This Is My Gun though, which combines for +70% damage within 3 tiles.

This is what an actual consecutive attack looks like. Note the "12 single target consecutive attacks" in yellow text. You can also tell because with Sweepers they either all miss, all hit or all crit, while with remodelled bicrons random shots will get blocked, dodged or whatever.

some fucky shit happened in a war with naples where all my vassals peaced out and took land for themselves after the call for peace timer maxed out. Then I got to take my own 100% warscore again, all under a threaten war cb, so I was able to take all but 3 provs of two sicilies in a single war... not sure how to trigger my vassals taking land like that on purpose but the threaten war conquer cost is nuts and absolutely meta

For those that want to fix the fag lovers glitch
go to game/in_game/events/character/dynastic.txt, scroll to the dynastic.6 event and set ruler ?= { is_female = yes }. Below, you'll see three "create_character" blocks, delete the last one, it is redundant and only serves to fuck with the if loop.

QRD on the last update? or is was just an update to the beta?

My enjoyment dropped once I did the second campaign and you start having fights twice as wide as single mission levels against cartel members in armor and large rifles. But almost all single missions are great.

The bomb defuse shit will test your patience, but the AI is stupid and doesn't know what to do with hostages, even in the second one.
The way you breach is you have one guy next to the door and one guy in front of it, then you open the door with the guy off to the side. If the door has overwhelming fire power on the other side of it, take away the guy from in front of it and just start chucking grenades until shit happens, you can usually stir them up and get them to run into your line of sight.

what custom teams does /vst/ like?

I'm playing One Vision mod and i'm in Chapter 4, just cleared Barnicia castle. If i understood right, now is the proper time to grind and gather equipment.

In what order should i start doing all the sidequests that are available? Are the early battles in PotD too hard?

>>2299268
At that point in the game you can do the temple quest and some of the other smaller quests. If you missed part of Azelstan's quest you won't be able to do it now but you can come back to it after you beat the game. If you want to do the Blackmoore battle in PotD you will want to beat PotD now, as it requires you to do the Nybeth fight on floor 100 in chapter 4 for when you go into PotD in CODA. You'll also need the four wind god weapons as well.

Newbie to Tactics Ogre, is it normal for random battles to absolutely destroy me harder then story ones? Can't tell what I'm doing wrong, if characters are understatted or don't have the right skills or what. The AI is usually 1-1 or has the numbers advantage, it always seems to have the right angles to get to my guys while being just out of reach of my stuff, and they have multiple flying fucks compared to my ONE.
Also I've had Denam using a 2-hander mainly because that's what he uses in the art and does it become more viable later or am I missing some detail?
Haven't quite hit the wall but a bit mired in mud right now. Not really used to this type of game.

This is the biggest problem with amateur worldbuilding. All of these names look like you intentionally tried to arbitrarily shoehorn an unusual phonetic into each one.
Slicelians is also just funny to read. Slice-lee-anns. A people known for slicing.
The only remedy for this is to share your world building and let people pass comment on it I suppose, and I guess you're doing it now. The names don't sound good.

Hurts.
I don't want to come off as defensive, and everything is up to revision, but at the same time, it is important to have some backbone.
For me, a good name is:
>memorable
>pronouncable
If you find something goofy-sounding, that's fine, because that contributes to memorability. Many fantasy worlds try to make their names sound cool, but the truth is that real names are not born that way, and if you look around, you will find many foreign provinces with weird names. I know I have.
>A people known for slicing.
Wouldn't that be "slicians?" Not Slicelians. Seems like a stretch.
>unusual phonetic into each one
Not intentionally, maybe subconsciously, but I still don't see it. If anything, I'm a bit worried they are too homogeneous.

OH except in pure combat, in pure combat, take off silencers and all that shit those missions the ai does have full and total functionality and there's no stealth layer. but the game will warn you. that's not the time to take hackers or sneaky sneaks bring nades and take the silencers off or you'll have a bad time.

>they can verbally talk to each other too. so like if three guys all see you, know you're there, and are next to each other, they're going to be very efficient in f'ing you up
Addendum to this:
1.guards will alert each other only in their line of sight. So if two guards close to each other but not looking at each other, the other will stay at unaware state
2. Stunned enemies don't raise sec-AI tally and alert each other as long as they're stunned at the end of the turn.(Some enemies can break out of the stun condition early but they can only do it on their turn, so make sure to let the enemies have their turn first in stealth, especially tankier enemies with armor points) and bring dazzler for oh shit button.
>>2299592
Filter it first if it's used by set(it's worth it), sell anything that's not used by set or can be used to create hacking mission/special contact/free hacking program. You can also hoard influence increasing files (rarity purple+ or minted file set) so your contact can power play or upgrade their services faster to sell better items e.g. consumables, implants, etc.

>>2299592
what the other anon said, there's some strategy to it- for example if you can't afford to go on any powerplays or whatever early game but do need such and such gear you might sell instead of mint, but usually it's collect until you can mint a set then sell off extra parts. a lot of this game involves leveling contacts so who you sell it to matters too, because that can level the contact and lead to power play missions, new stories, and new equipment.

>>2299417
game still has an uglyness problem, though they have released a good 20 or 30 character creation parts since. levels are sort of ugly too (but functional) but they are releasing a second biome that's going to be like upper class corpo housing that should mix it up. and as said earlier a few animations conspicuously missing. but they do keep pecking away at the visuals. actually glad anons are talking about this game though as i'm pretty autistic about it and i am really hoping they achieve full "infinite shadowrun simulator"

>>2297896
Pure cosmetic, sure. But what if come night your solar power stops working, the outside temperature goes to -110 or you need to man the walls?

>>2297896
>Foundation has a toggle to visually switch between night and day, which gives all the aesthetic benefit without trying to shove in a half-baked schedule system that adds nothing to the game
i disagree.
you can just speed time up in the night when nothing is happening or you can use that time to build (provided the game is not too dark to see what you are doing). unless you are constantly running your city builder game at max speed all the time, then you can't complain about "nothing happening"

>>2297914
>your solar power stops working, the outside temperature goes to -110
Day/night is fine if night causes problems you have to prepare for and isn't just "your builders are all sleeping now". Not really anywhere to go with it in a medieval setting though, both of those examples are more sci-fi oriented. Walls have to be manned during the day as well, there really wasn't much medieval peasants were doing at night.
>>2297947
>you can just speed time up in the night when nothing is happening
So instead of wasting 8 minutes I can waste 3 minutes while the game stutters along in the background?
>or you can use that time to build
That's what the pause button is for

>>2297973
Yeah, kinda fair. All I'm saying there's nothing wrong with it if it has legitimate gameplay mechanics or if it's purely there for ambience but can be turned off. Sometimes you just want to step back and look at the pretty houses with their lamps and shit on.

I've been playing it, and while it is indeed a city painter, it is quite hard to really plan out and build some fancy stuff
I don't really get how connect and make the most of those base build blocks.

I also played Manor Lords and it feels more engaging in terms of resource managing, expanding, battling and etc

I also tried Farthest Frontier and while it seems like it has depth at first hand, and it really didn't got me engaged.

And here's to a finished run. Wish there was a version of this with better combat. I refuse to believe the rng isn't rigged. Navy seems utterly useless in indep war, even if you manage to beat a man-o-war it retreats for repairs seemingly 9/10 times. Also would be nice if the king would send them in squadrons of 3 or something instead of one at a time.
