house of the dad posted:I don't want to go full CA defender because they've done a lot of things that deserve criticism, but this is literally the same price as the previous pack. This just lets people buy individual lords, which is probably an option that should have always been available. It feels way less disingenuous than forcing people to buy a whole content pack when they only want 33% of what's in it.  You pay 78% of the total price if you buy 2 DLCs, instead of say, 66%

Okay, also i had to record this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4tehH7BMJU Cav are SMASHING right now. This is with a Banner of Swiftness which IS helping but even with a banner, pre 5.0 the unit would get bogged down nearly instantly and now.. it just mows them down.

Isn't Australia also usually a bit more expensive than EU/NA? Yes but they're priced relatively. This isn't a whoopsie. They didn't make a conversion error. Is it genuinely cheaper in the US?

I still haven't gotten Shadows of Cringe.. it is much better looking now but they barely did anything to the faction mechanics so i just don't care as much. I'll get it when its on a 50% off sale which will be.. like after next DLC drop or something.

Jamwad Hilder posted:well I hit a bug with Elspeth that's kinda ruined my campaign for me. At a certain point I can't end my turn anymore. I've had that happen before and it's generally because an event isn't firing properly, and reloading your turn fixes it, but in this case it's related to the gunnery school. When I upgrade to tier 3 there's an event related to the amethyst workshop that doesn't spawn an event but makes me unable to end my turn. I reloaded and tried multiple times and every time I become unable to end my turn. My choice seems to be just not upgrading the workshop anymore, which is no fun. I want to play with the cool units. Hey, was watching Janet On Occasion doing a Malakai stream and he had this same bug (I always thought it was my mods lol) and he claims if you reload your last end turn save and then spam your escape key as it comes around to your turn it can sometimes unfuck itself but he also said that this could take like 50 attempts, but he did manage it with his stream.

So have they improved everybody's cavalry or only The Empire? Don't see anything sbout this in the latest patch notes. Only some improvements to chasing units. Would be a good thing, cavalry always felt very underwhelming in my experience.

Rolled up Mannfred no problem in the Realm of Chaos as Elspeth. One of her signature level-up skills is reducing the enemy's healing cap, and while it's hard to measure the effect that has exactly, it's definitely pointed straight at Sylvania.

They $15 each or $38 for all three in Australia. I got all three because I was going to spend $30 anyway, but that's pretty pricey still. I remember when the lord packs with bunch of stuff were $15 and a whole new faction was $30

Gejnor posted:Oh, uh sec.. I'm not fully awake yet so I'm prepared to have made some kind of stupid mistake here but... My math tells me that 85% of 24.99 euros is 21.2415 euros. Which is less than 22.92 euros. It's not less expensive in Europe without a discount. Or to do it another way 3*8.99=26.97 which is 1.98 more than 24.99. This DLC is objectively more expensive at every level than the previous DLC which fans blasted for being too expensive. Funky See Funky Do fucked around with this message at 23:32 on Apr 30, 2024 |

Here's a full comparison in USD:  So the bundle is slightly less expensive than SoC. But I don't think they ever promised that it wouldn't be? The new DLC approach was going to start after Thrones of Decay, because they were already too far into ToD to change course, but that's why they split it up as a stopgap, so that people wouldn't have to pay the full price if they didn't want all the lords.

So, turns out Malakai gets Ulrika. I don't know if she's been ported to all dwarfs or just him, but as if Malakai wasn't strong enough now he gets a full caster legendary hero as well.

Funky See Funky Do posted:I'm not fully awake yet so I'm prepared to have made some kind of stupid mistake here but... I mean the bundle is always discounted down to 22.92 from what ive understood so it is still cheaper. Without a discount it'd be 27 euroes nearly but this discount is not, from what ive understood, time sensitive like the "pre-order" discounts used to be. This discount always comes into effect if you buy all three lords from what i've understood, regardless of time elapsed between buying the 1st, 2nd and finally 3rd lord? If this is incorrect that would be a cause for irritation at the very least which i can understand but otherwise it just means the new price is effectively 22.92 euroes which is still lower than 24.99 euroes.

Maybe I'm over obsessing on the new grudge system but I'm in this sort of frustrated place where I'm doing well and the order tide is starting up and I absolutely hate it because the dawi will riot if they aren't kept just the right kind of unhappy. Basically I think I need to either declare a bunch of wars early so bad guy settlements can get more grudges, and maybe even just take take a lovely province I don't want so somebody can take it back and get mad book entries in the process?

Yeah it's hard to max grudges. I think you're not supposed to obsess over it. If things go against you, it let's you slingshot back. But if you're winning do you really need those insta units? Kind of need them for confederation though I guess...

Nah, you're right, the grudge rework is fantastic, but needs one more balance and tweak pass. It is 100% directionally correct and just has some fuckedness around rates of gain, requirements, and where they are being generated from. They should let you diplo grudge settling since that is 100% canonical, but maybe have it cause some Grumbling debuff for control for a bit or w/e if you really wanna balance it out. "Look Franz, I know we're in a Military Alliance, by 476 years ago your people mined some surface ore from a mountain that belong to a hold. 1000 gold for those 37 grudges, please and thank you." poo poo man, make grudges trade as trade goods that actually deplete so you just get more gold off them from friendlies until they are gone. There, solved it.

Spend your money how you want and feel however you want about it but you don't need to twist yourself into a pretzel to convince yourself that a lovely company isn't loving with you, which CA absolutely is. I'll probably even get the Elspeth one myself when it goes on sale. I was in the middle of a fun empire campaign which I'll probably have to scrap now

Is there any difference between getting stats like a plain + as a skill versus getting stats through things like permanent passive abilities like Evasion? Do the passive abilities only show up in battle or something? Does that matter?

I'm not sure if it's as bad in Australia, but NZ gets absolutely reamed when it comes to regional pricing. Like if I buy a legit steam key off a third party site but with European pricing, in some cases it's up to 60% cheaper than buying in NZ$ on steam. Dragon's dogma 2 is 140 god drat dollars. I pretty much never buy direct from steam unless it's a sub-$40 game.

What da hell Its the Banner of Swiftness, without it Reiksguard do about as well as before, though slightly better. But Shock Cav seems to scale insanely well now if you can get your hands on some Acceleration and increased Speed. As an example, Grail Knights in Lance formation do way better now than they did before, just don't use them with Grail Guardians on the charge as when i tested that they get in eachothers way and stop the Knights from plowing through things. Something to do with the Lances (Knights) vs Swords (Guardians) i figure. If you must use both, have the Guardians as your anvils rather than another cycle charge unit.
