More legible, especially against dark colours/noisy backgrounds. You could get the same legibility with a white outline around black text, but lol that'd probably look even worse

Node posted:I don't know how to WC despite 2100 hours put into this game. I started an Ottomans attempt at 1001 provinces and I don't think I am going to make it. I made sure I was never at peace longer than 3 years and always grabbed as many provinces as possible in each war. Just something I don't think I'll ever be capable of doing. Conquest speeds up massively later in the game as you pick up the admin efficiency techs. If you haven't ever played through to the end of the game before, you'll be surprised.

Ethiopia usually involves focusing elsewhere until the ottomans make a play for the Levant, at which point you tear into the weakened mamluks.

Look, the problem with boats is when they fill up with water and sink, right? So you just need to drill some drainage holes to let that water back out!

skasion posted:They should just invert what harsh treatment does. Number of times I have wanted to set back rebel progress by 30% and not just farm a bit of extra absolutism is vanishingly small. If it instead increased rebel progress by 30% I would use it probably in every game. Reducing progress should be "coerce instigators" and cost you dip.

Stellaris was just way too busy of a design to begin with. It seems like they originally came up with a bunch of cool ideas, and then tried to do them all simultaneously instead of realistically scoping and cutting things down to where they could give them proper treatment. As a result it ended up as a mile-wide inch-deep sort of thing that just wasn't very interesting. Now that they're focusing on specific parts of the game and building depth into them it's getting a lot better.

Pocky In My Pocket posted:just had everything go against me and i'm not sure why, as soon as my troops entered a battle their morale just feel apart instantly for no apparent reason My gut tells me you're fighting France. The morale bar in the battle screen is scaled based on the army with the highest maximum morale. If your army has lower maximum morale they're going to start with a bunch of red in the morale bar. Morale is pretty key for winning early battles and getting stack wipes, which is what wins and loses early wars.

Kaiser Schnitzel posted:What is the right infantry/cavalry/artillery ratio? I think I used to do 2:1:1, but maybe 2:1:2 is better? I’ve always been confused how battles actually worked. If you click on the battle, you can see a graphic of what's happening on the battle screen. Basically, you have a front row, and a back row. They have a maximum width, based on the terrain and your tech. In a big battle where both sides are filling the combat width: - You want enough artillery to fill your entire back row. - You want enough infantry to fill your entire front row, plus a few more so you can just merge units to get your front row back to full strength after a battle. - You don't want any cavalry Against a smaller opponent that can't fill the combat width, you can add a couple of cavalry to roll up the flanks faster, but it also doesn't matter very much since you're crushing them anyway.

It's kind of funny that the biggest reason to have high standards and professionalism in your army is so you can slacken them later.

It looks like it breaks up power blocs a bit and encourages superpowers to try go it alone, which seems like plenty of shakeup. If you're literally the most powerful nation by a country mile and are just wrapping up your world conquest then just giving you a flat buff to do that faster seems fine, makes things less tedious. If the relationship penalty is no longer significant then you've already won that game so it doesn't really matter if it's a bit overpowered.

If 3 years is a figure speech and not an exact number then likely what's happening is some of the nations you attacked and pissed off are having their truces run out, thus giving you enough pissed off nations to form a coalition.

PittTheElder posted:I mean I'm 80% sure I'm reading too much into it, but just that sentence kinda sounds like it might be. I think the intended reading is "we were originally planning to do a big bugfix release as a sendoff for the game after whatever the last expansion ended up being - we've changed our plans and will instead be doing a big series of bugfix releases right now, before we get back to doing expansions". I say "I think" because I agree that it's not totally clear, but I think the interpretation I've written above gels with Johan's clarifying statements.

Lots of development still means lots of overextension, it doesn't have anything to do with how big you already are. The big upside to absolutism is that you can core all those provinces rapidly and cheaply, freeing you to force a peace deal in the other war you're fighting and get even more provinces.

The idea is to make mountain forts really defensible (and thus a good idea to build), instead of a huge liability like they would be if you had to attack into mountains to relieve the siege.

"Expected population" is mostly down to the capacity for agriculture to keep people fed. You could treat development as the agricultural capacity of a province, and have depopulation from disease, crop failures, etc. affect a number that bounces back towards that natural cap over a generation or two. Killing all your nation's young men in decade-long wars could tie into that system as well.

Don't the tooltips have a green tick or red cross exactly where you'd put the "bullet"? And no tick/cross if it's just wrapped from the previous line?

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:They do! I am talking about requirements: lol those are horrid the culture one would be way clearer if every sub-condition had its own (indented) tick or cross, which would make it super obvious which ones you met and which ones you didn't meet yet - which is how I thought it worked already but apparently not. (yes there's the text telling you how many provinces you have, but that's buried in the middle of the rest of the text, so it's not as clear at a glance) not sure how to clarify the "any ally" one though, since you might have different allies that meet different subconditions within it (but no allies that meet the whole thing). just saying "and" or "or" as appropriate between each clause of an "any/all of these:" would also help Jabor fucked around with this message at 15:12 on Mar 25, 2024 |
