Sounds like you're off to a good start. Remember that every production flight is a test flight and rescues are 90% of the job.

I tried, but couldn't reach him in the wonky orbit he somehow achieved with the vanilla parts the campaign was letting me use at that point. RIP in space Jeb. Any recommendations for some nice add-ons I should try?

Mechjeb doesn't work well with Ferram Aerospace installed last I remembered. It's nice for orbital rendezvous though. It's a good idea to get decent at launching/orbiting/landing/docking etc before just automating it as well in case Mechjeb fucks up or you gently caress up some how.

mechjeb is p tite


having a nominal grasp on orbital mechanics is also p tite because sometimes a stage separation doesn't go as intended and breaks your mechjob module

edit: destiny will prob be p tite, downloading it now I guess

Well gleep and I played madden online today. Timing kicks is all hosed up compared to offline mode.

Also we had like 5 turn overs each because we suck at pig skin.

Too bad destiny comes out tonight. Probably not going to play madden again ever lol

Sometimes game mechanics just escape me. Slingers shouldn't be able to break a 3/4 strong formation of Rorarii on the charge, for example.

That's why I sent them to run off the skirmishers while the Principes and Triarii fought the enemy general's heavy spears. Didn't work.

theres really sparse historical infos about rorarii anyway, and they were probably like admin pogs so it makes sense that theyd get their asses kicked in a combat situation :hist101:

Just recruit a champion and attach him to your army. Eventually all your scrub tier dudes wont rout when someone skins their knee.

yea morale is one of the most important stats your dudes have. a bunch of big scary guys in heavy armor arent worth poo poo if they tuck tail after taking 10% casualties. rorarii have garbage morale and theyre pretty lightly armored, so those slingers pelting them in their dumb faces and inflicting 25% casualties on them as they charged probably triggered a morale shock, and they failed the check then ran like bitches

the only place rorarii really have is as a last ditch reserve, and theyd be best used against light cavalry. keep in mind the total war battle system is rock paper scissors but with spears swords/axes and cav instead

use light cav or skirmishers to check enemy missile troops

ps having a champ is crucial, and before long you will have silver/gold ranked units, and theyre leagues better than rank 1 clowns. then you can pull of poo poo like this


before

after


before

during

lotta gauls linin up for their turn

hard to find your footing on a carpet of bloody corpses

nothing like 6000 dead gauls packed like sardines on your ramparts to ruin property values


flipside you can pull off siege assaults that would be impossible otherwise


there is no way that an attacker outnumbered twice over should pull off 10:1 kill ratio but elite units with a badass general can do it. the handful of legionary units you see in the red i actually had to pull back from the melee or else they would have fought to the death


spot the flying head

hi were new to the neighborhood we brought a cassarole! its made out of your soon to be corpses!

carrion crow peepin his next meal :yum:

1171 water dawgs got their work cut out for them

it use to be such a nice area before those greasy meatballs showed up

2 cohorts are maneuvering beyond those huts to envelop the last stand of the gauls in their village square. they didnt put up much resistance after this



im getting close to conquering these savages, despite their best efforts to thwart me. ive resorted to looting every village i conquer just to scrape by. my coin purse is loving tight, im only pulling in 1500 talents a turn if im lucky. central france is a loving nightmare of rebellions and guerrilla warfare horseshit. every captured barbarian is put to the sword. some villages ive had to retake a half dozen times. militia serving in town garrisons have a life expectancy of a few weeks if theyre lucky. but im making forward progress. more tribes have been extinguished from time, more subjects brought to heel under the might of my legions. only a small strip of land and the unwashed subhumans that call it home keeps the empire from the channel, and soon i will bring the purifying flame of rome to all of gaul :twisted:
