Third World Reagan posted:smol unit sizes own Haha, I was going to say, I had to play small sizes up till very recently, just cause my laptop was pretty old, and I just got a new laptop that went with ultra everything settings. It's great, but I put unit sizes down to medium. 2 cannons is fine, I don't need 4 or whatever. Makes the individual units seem like the appropriate amount of units. Dunno, just makes better sense with my understanding of warhammer reading and understanding of units on the tabletop. Also makes artillery more hit and miss, since instead of four shots aiming at huge infantry units, it's 1 cannon aiming at small units. Once the accuracy gets up they start murdering, and there're always good for forcing them to come to you.

The game is mostly balanced around Large unit size (which is the default for some reason) because magic and to some degree single unit entities don't scale with it. Magic is super op on small unit sizes and kinda crap on ultra etc.

Yea, I played with small units for ages and swapping to large was such a revelation. Turns out your LLs don't die in 2 seconds to an enemy hero, whodathunk? Seriously, characters punch for 400 AP dmg but only have 1500 hp, its nuts.

Bjuna iirc becomes like it was at WH1 release and final transmutation just melts armies.

Is there an overview map that makes it easier to read which regions can reach each other? I find I sometimes have a hard time telling whether my armies will be able to walk/sail from here to there.

This isn't exactly what you're looking for, but if you select an army, and then a destination (without clicking) it'll show the route that the army would take, as well as how many turns it will take (with each extra turn being a different colour).

Yeah, part pf the problem is that this method seems to sometimes avoid water when it would be better to travel by sea. But then I don't have a good read on how my armies will behave when it comes to making landfall, raiding ports, etc. E: I mean a good chunk of this is just a lack of familiarity on my part. I am slowly learning to pay better attention to how enemy armies will move but if you click on an enemy army in a settlement, you can't see how far it can go while you can if it's in the field. doingitwrong fucked around with this message at 18:16 on Jan 4, 2022 |

McGavin posted:How hard is it to just have an undo move button if you misclick when it's still your turn? Almost certainly, it's to prevent players from moving to scout ahead and then just undoing the move if it's unfavorable. I know you could still do that via save scumming, but that's way more of a pain in the rear end.

People can't help themselves, if there's an easy scummy thing to do they WILL do it, the burden is on the game devs to save us from ourselves. That being said games that where built with undo in mind tend to be excellent, if rare.

I think there probably are a lot of issues with an undo move button. There’s all kinds of quest triggers, ambush triggers, lord and hero map properties, and poo poo that the game has to check every time you move somewhere. It’s not just as simple as returning to your original spot. Also if it existed then every turn you’d be playing suboptimally if you didn’t scout with each unit to it’s biggest possible distance in every direction and then undoing it.

An easier or better solution would be some kind of preview of the movement order, and require a confirmation to execute. Yea ok it adds an extra click but at least make it an option.

I'm missing the updates more than I thought I would, which is kind of funny because I'm simultaneously less confident that I'll play on launch day than I was before. Maybe I just need to get my hype crystals charged again though.

I dunno, it might be easy to go back to the previous turn, but some of my more fun campaigns have come from coming back from errors.

I am hoping that the new more miniature-looking toy world map makes it easier to read. In general, the strategy map would do well with a bunch of tools to make it easier to understand what is going on. Coming from EU IV and similar games, I am severely missing having multiple map views that makes it easier to see at a glance who likes me, who my enemies are, climate, winds of magic, province income, and other strategic information that would make planning things easier. Similarly, I want a clearer read on how enemies in my view can potentially move and how far I can move this turn and then next turn from my current position. I’d like it to be much clearer what terrain is impassable, and when I can expect armies to reinforce one another. A lot of this information is available if you know where to look and are willing to click on a lot of things. The diplomacy interface is especially terrible for this. There’s a lot of information there, but it’s not easy to grasp.

An extra klick every single time you move an army och agent sounds more annoying tbh. The few times it's happened a I just roll with it. For the port part, just always move the army just outside the port, land to land movement is always prioritized if possible. Noir89 fucked around with this message at 15:21 on Jan 5, 2022 |

The game pathfinding will always keep you on land or water, whichever you are on at the moment. if you think there’s a shortcut over water you have to click from one to the other. That’s why if you want to go to a totally new continent or island you can’t just click on it, you have to click on the nearby ocean first. I don’t think there’s too many routes where it’s quicker to switch back and forth though.

Lustria definitely had faster routes by spending 2 turns dicking about with boats, also a few Norsica areas. The reluctance to embark was always kinda weird to me, since even if the optimal route only saved a few inches, the opportunities of being in a boat are great.

The reluctance made way more sense when all water battles were autoresolve only. I wish they’d get rid of it now though.

They could just remove automatic pathing on water and force the player to consciously enter the water before they consider waterway navigation as a pathing option.
