Lockback posted:Awesome thread. Crusader Kings: -There is no reason not to get the Deus Vult expansion. -England in 1066 is a good beginner nation because it's fairly wealthy and you don't have any distant possesions to worry about. However, a lot of your vassals hate William de Normandie and will declare war on you within a few years. Take their land and give it to your relatives, but remember not let your reputation get too bad. -Feudal contract law is excellent becuase it causes an event that gives you free prestige and it triggers fairly often. As large kingdom with feudal contract I usually have more prestige than I know what to do with. -If you want a somewhat playable game as a count, the province of Dauphine Viennoise in southern France starts off with a huge tax base. You can try using the huge armies that province spawns to create your own kingdom in North Africa. -Unless you're based in the mediterranean, going after crusade targets is more trouble than it's worth. Europa Universalis III: -The Napoleon's Ambition expansion is worth it for automerchants alone. In Nomine is even better. -Playing as France is easy mode. -The Magna Mundi mod adds a lot of intersting gameplay. It is also much harder and more frustrating. Hope you enjoy stablity hits for the stupidest of reasons. -If you're in a position to do so, conquer northern Italy. The provinces there are rich and most of them have a university. Once you've grabbed all of them, set your government tech investment to zero and you can still be competitive there. -Don't go overboard on inflation, but don't be afraid of it either. -You know how the army details screen tells you how many regiments you have and how many you can support? It's sorta like the speed limit - you can go over it to a certain degree without disaster. Edit: Two more for CK: -Don't worry about the composition of your armies. The bigger mob always wins. -Build royal posts. They will help if you have a large desmesne and a king with low intrigue. Contingency Plan fucked around with this message at 04:33 on Oct 12, 2008 |

I went and picked up Assassin's Creed II because people have yelling non-stop that it is GOTY 2009. As far as I'm concerned, that honour belongs to Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II, but that is neither here nor there. Any tips for my sojourn into Renaissance Italy?

After having played it years and years ago on the Xbox I'm coming back to Morrowind on its rightful PC home. Any tips for making a wizard character? What gameplay mods should I get? I've decided to stick with the default graphics because as pretty as the screenshots of Morrowind with Crysis-quality graphics are, if the thread here in Games is anything to go by it requires installing over two dozen components in a very specific order, so I'll pass.

Can I have some tips for Crusader Kings II? I'm aware of Kersch's introductory let's play but I'm looking for brief tips. For reference's sake I'm familiar with CK1. A particular question: should I focus on owning ever holding in a province or spread them out over my demesne? I also have the Sword of Islam DLC: what should I know about playing as a Muslim?

It's been out for a little while now, so any tips for The Witcher 3? I'm particularly interested in character development and combat. I just finished the Noonwraith quest at the very start of the game and despite using specter oil on my sword I was only doing ~10 points of damage per strike. I used the Yrden sign and was suddenly doing ~100 damage/strike and I have no idea why.

HOOLY BOOLY posted:
However, once you get the 'rhythm' of melee combat down it can be a very effective way to save ammo. Before long, I could simultaneously fight and kill multiple zombies with the cricket bat without getting hit. If you can corner one you can you hit the button repeatedly to bludgeon them to death before they've recovered from the last blow. This is especially useful against armoured zombies and the glowing red zombies that carry a gun upgrade. About two-thirds through the game you will be trapped in a basement with a teleporting zombie with your minimap disabled. The zombie is not actually invincible, it's a boss fight and you're meant to fight, not run away.
