Just make sure to appease tribes or get relief forces to help you siege. You can see how hard a castle/fortress will be to siege through clicking on it and looking at the HP (which goes down by using the storm command) and the soldier icon which is under the Lord portrait and shows how many soldiers the castle will produce. Make sure to storm a castle if you don't have enough soldiers/supplies to starve them out. Cat Sidhe fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Sep 8, 2015 |

I kinda wish this still had the regional conflict options, instead of just being the full unification scenarios. It was good to practice or just quicker games in Iron Triangle to only worry about 8 enemies instead of the entire map of every clan ever.

prussian advisor posted:Is it generally better practice to appease tribes up to the point where they provide backup, or to fully assimilate them? Assimilating them gives you more population, which also gives you more troops. But each tribe also has a special bonus they can give. I have a few tribes giving me gold every September in my Otomo game, and two tribes whose special ability is just "will always show up to a land battle, regardless of how close it is to their home". So it's more a question of whether you need the population or the tribe bonus more. And that list screen I mention earlier also lets you look at tribes, so you can see the bonus they give, how many troops they send into a fight, and the stats of the guy leading that tribe's unit. Oh, and the help screen mentions something about how assimilating certain tribes could get you their boss as an officer, but I haven't done that yet. Not sure how it works.

You could also try the Struggle for Power (1551) scenario as Oda Nobunaga himself. You start with only one castle, so it's not as overwhelming at first, but you get access to a lot of top-flight talent to begin with including, well, Nobunaga. The game gives you quests that give you well-defined goals, and if you follow them you'll very quickly come into possession of Kiyosu and Gifu castles and thus the strongest economic base in the Nagoya region with a really strong ally at your back to push towards Kyoto. Plus the game keeps handing you top-flight talent to fuel your expansion like Matsunaga Hisahide and Akechi Mitsuhide (neither of whom will actually betray you, or maybe I derailed history before the event triggers fired).

Pirate Warriors 3 on the Vita is pretty fun. It's ugly as sin and there's awful pop-up, but this seems to be a trade needed to load about twenty dudes at once on the screen. It doesn't look like much but it plays good, and there's a visceral joy of running through hordes of Fishmen as Ivanova trying my best not to quote Rocky Horror with each every 100 KO's. This feels like a game I'd end up getting on the PS4 as well, because I think I'd appreciate the unlocking and all of the neat easter eggs a bit better with HD graphics, but it's pretty cool how well the Musou gameplay translated to portables. My first experience was with Hyrule Warriors, so this is all new ground for me. EDIT: That said, I promised myself I'd get this for the Vita and save my PS4 Musou cherry for the Dragon Quest Heroes game.

So Pirate Warriors 3 completely skips Whiskey Peak and Little Garden, but then makes an entire stage out of fighting Bellamy, the guy who thought he was hot poo poo until Luffy floored him with one punch?

I can get skipping Little Garden since there's no way to make enemy armies be there, but a lot of the playable character choices are a bit strange. Like, you can't play as Django? That's a damned travesty. Then again, I suspect that Pirate Warriors 1 and 2 probably feature more little side characters that get ignored in favor of these new...ones... Also, I don't know who half of these people are any more. Who the gently caress is Vista? The gently caress did he come from? I'm so far behind on my animes.

To be fair, that was one of the iconic moments. Whiskey Peak and Little Garden tend to be less remembered. PW3 is basically a greatest hits summary of One Piece.

They should've made it so you actually do beat him in one hit if you're playing as Luffy, Zoro or Sanji, then put a "Defeat Bellamy in a fair fight" objective in the legend log that you only get if you play the level as anyone else Edit: this is only my second Warriors game after Hyrule Warriors and I have to say, even though I had a lot of fun in that game, it feels so good to not have to worry about damage taken for S ranks. Seriously, in some of the later adventure mode levels it was like "Oops I took a hit, time to restart the level." I like how in this one the failure state is all the way at the end of my health bar, not one quarter along it. The only downside to this game in comparison is that I've only read the One Piece manga, so the music doesn't give me crazy nostalgia like all the Zelda buttrock did.

Bellamy is also important to the Dressrosa arc even though he's barely focused on in the game. It'd be strange for him to reappear in Dressrosa without a prior appearance. Bart not making the cut is loving criminal, he's easily the most popular in the current arc.

Yeah Sabo being secretly alive was hinted at, but his appearance in the story was extremely abrupt. There wasn't any indication that he'd appear in Dressrosa until after Bart had become a fan favorite.

I just tried out playing as Chopper, and I can't figure out how his weakness lock-on thing is supposed to work. The description at the top of his movelist says that after getting the target symbols on enemies I can hit them with a powerful attack by pressing R1, but that just makes him change to Guard Point whether there are target symbols or not. Am I missing something?

That's true, but in the short character description above the movelist it also says "Use R1 to put an enemy he has scoped down for good with a powerful special attack" Hm, now that I've checked the exact wording, maybe it does something to his special, I'll go check. Edit: nope, I tried triggering the special while holding R1 with scoped enemies in front of me, and there was no change. Also I just beat the Skypia level and there was no Enelface, it'd better be in that third treasure event I failed to trigger or the game will be a failure imo

I kept missing that treasure event because I kept killing Enel right away. One of those cases where you have to play somewhat inefficiently for things to happen.

Speaking of treasure events. Do some of them not have cutscenes? Starting on the second part of Marineford and up through the next level, none of my treasure events triggered cutscenes, just the little word bubble with the circled question mark. Other cutscenes are playing though.

Other cutscenes are playing though. Something to do with your graphics card probably. I had that happen, and soon story cutscenes were just black screens (but could still be skipped). I'm not sure if I fixed it, but I just changed my power management for my NVIDIA to always max performance for Pirate Warriors. Closing and reopening the game seemed to fix it hence why I think it's a power management issue where the game is too optimized so the card doesn't recognize it. I could be wrong though since it was just guesswork on my part since you're the first that has mentioned the same issue as me that I've seen online.

I think it's related to playing as Luffy, because they played as normal when I was anyone else. You wouldn't have run into it since 100%ing the map requires you to not play as him. How come some treasure events are fully listed the first time you do a map, and sometimes they aren't? gently caress you Punk Hazard map, "Rescue ??? before fighting ???" is really helpful.

 I dunno how I got this all in one shot because I certainly didn't beat Doflamingo with a Kizuna attack at the end of the stage, but I'll take it! e: how do I get the "strong enemy" coins? I unlocked Shanks and now I get them when I do the islands that give you new characters when you clear them, but I don't seem to get them anywhere else.

If you beat the last level in Dream Log after clearing all the strong enemies, it should give you a fresh batch.
