    Yeah, The Slanneshi setup requires a ton of micro control.

     

    you may want to try the Daemon Prince Chaos Undivided army, fun playing almost "dress-up" with all the upgrades you earn for the Daemon Prince, plus all the different Chaos benefits (including mini-versions of the other Chaos God stuff (like Slaaneshi)

    Fun fact: The Daemon Prince's name amongst the TW community is "Daniel". (on the debut stream for him, the Developer recording the video named him Daniel as just a placeholder, and it stuck). It's funny to think, "I am the prince of the four Chaos Gods. I have wounded the god of Kislev unto death. And you may call me... Daniel."

    I've played Total War on and off since the late 00's and I still can't tell you how to win relatively even battles with any regularity. I am the most depressing military commander ever.

    This game is very hard lol

    Yeah, I play it (and I'm a member of a discord from another big name forum that runs tournaments and the like).

     

    My personal favorites:

    Empire : Bit of Shooty, bit of melee, bit of everything.

    Dwarves: Anvil and Hammer, and some of the best damn war machines and infantry in the game. You pay for it in speed.

    High Elves: Holy shit, they have units that can excel at anything, and their economy can go Warp 5 once you get the donut setup (the donut being the high elves island)

    Orks: I hate playing as them (the troops will break fairly easily, but reform quickly), but you gotta love an army who one of the war machines is flinging a Gobbo wearing wings into the enemy army.. and you can control said gobbo to crash into the enemy units)

    Bretonnia: If only because when you pull off a "FOR ZE LADY" Knight Lance formation charge, it's a beautiful thing

    I actually like the Greenskins so far as the tribal witch doctor guy who specializes in Savage Orcs. Having bonuses to all the units who basically don't have armor is some 300 IQ nonsense where all those investments and upkeep into busting armor that other factions do is completely wasted on you, that's some good Orc thinking.

    Slaanesh being able to just straight up steal units from the enemy army is gnarly but Jesus Christ all their units are made of tissue paper.

    The guy on the suspected Ohtani plane was Shark Tank and Dragon’s Den investor Robert Herjavec, great plot twist 

    Worth $300 million and the fucker can't even pitch? Hard pass.

  4. One very minor thing that strikes me as weird in hindsight is how in Fallout 4, a fucked up post aplocalyptic universe, you could rarely find little minigames you could play on the pip boy and as far as I know there isn't a single equivilant anywhere in the Starfield universe.

  5. I tend to prefer games where I can play a mass murdering wizard but having said that, who is to say molotov cocktails aren't just a fireball spell, perhaps I will join you all

    Even I've given up on Twitter. I knew it would be bad when a drug abusing billionaire took over but I just can't condone continuing to use that platform anymore. It makes me so sad inside.

    Heads up that there's now a version 2 of America Rising out which is the Enclave focussed mod, I'm not that deep into it yet but it's even more fleshed out than the original and feels good.

    I'm far enough into this now that I'm pretty comfortable calling it one of the two absolutely essential mods for adding content, along with Sim Settlements 2. The first version of the mod was fine but this is just a much more refined and better version with improved custom graphics as opposed to using existing assets, new unique locations, etc. If you're looking to do an evil playthrouhgh this is the one. The Enclave as always are the "ends justify the means" faction with the added bonus of having clear goals instead of the Institute's "we're building synths because... uh, we're building synths". An oil rig base, new Enclave equipment, a really well done mission chain including proper integration with the main story so you can't progress past certain points until it's lore appropriate, solid voice actors, the opporunity to do just enough scummy shit to remind you that you're not the heroes without beating you over the head with it every second, this is just great.

    I just do my Fallout 4 modding through the in game menu but if you're a Nexus person here is the link you have no excuses: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/75767

  7. I enjoy the game but I also think there's a ton of valid criticisms of it. I think it says a lot that I'm enjoying Fallout 4 thanks to all the Creation Kit made add ons a lot more.

    I still think Starfield will be awesome post-creation kit but I've basically done everything I can possibly want to do for now. There are a ton of systems and ideas that, on the surface, are great, but they lack the depth the creation kit is going to add.

    It doesn't help that portions of the main story might be the worst part of the game. All of the dialogue involving working out a puzzle around which planet the Pilgrim went to is just absolute pure nonsense of the bad kind. It doesn't help that Matteo and Noel are two of the most boring characters possible.

    The side factions are definitely better.
