Horse archers, or skirmishing units in general, are countered by archers or siege units. Unless the game is wildly unbalanced it always works.

Nexus: the Jupiter incident. It is a now a bit old tactical space combat game with a big focus on the narrative. It’s awesome, but I never see it mentioned anywhere.

Sometimes I wonder if these people understand that no player ever wanted exclusivities on a game store. Instead of providing a decent service, they’re litteraly trying to kidnap customers with a choice between waiting for months for this big release or taking it on a subpar platform.

They did see it coming. But they decided it was bluffing.

Are you really arguing that you need overpowered weapons because the game is buggy?

Man you were talking about game design two comments ago. Now you’re talking about bugs. Make up your mind.

You are 4 in a team. A titan is killed with 1 precision strike. I’ve been in the situations you describe. A charger can only charge one person at a time. And one person can dance with 3 chargers for quite some time.

Sometimes a situation goes crazy. That’s the whole point of high difficulty. If you don’t want that, if you want the game to be a cakewalk, why do you play high difficulty?

Different things will affect your feeling : different missions have different enemy distribution for one, and biome and modifiers will make a massive difference in difficulty. I am also comfident sometimes MO planets have increased difficulty too.

And again, you don’t need anti heavy to kill a charger. Shoot the yellow part of the tail and even a primary can do it.

What you’re telling me here is that you weren’t coordinated with your team and not even trying to help eachother. Or that you were all clueless about how to kill a charger without AT weaponry.

If this is really the clueless part, this is very sad tbh.

I don’t play much public games, I play with some friends, and I felt the opposite. Usually playing lvl6 against bots, lvl7 against bugs. Lvl7 bugs felt like a cakewalk since the new patch.

But it depends on the planet too. Some planets are hells. Either because of the climate or because of enemy distribution.

It’s not marketing that they fail, it’s communication. They should tell ahead of time which weapons are on their watch list, so it doesn’t seem like it falls from nowhere.

It’s not a competitive game, so why do people feel the need to play the highest difficulty if they can’t deal with an enemy you learn in d4 mission?

There is no broken amount of chargers. There are people incapable of dealing with them, which makes situations degenerate into chaos, which is exactly the point of this kind of enemy.

Explosive detonation or something gives the grenade pistol that allows you to use utility grenade without sacrificing your ability to close bug holes or destroy fabricators. The weapons also have this ability. So this warbond will open more builds than any other warbond.

Cutting edge is right behind, or even arguably on par. Because it has the stun grenade, and excellent weapons. But the stun grenade is a game changer, trivializing hulks and chargers. It’s almost cheating.

Steel veteran goes after them, but it also has amazing weapons. But it’s a matter of preference after the first two. You can’t go wrong with this one while the other warbond are more hit and miss.

Starfleet is not anarchist. There are admirals. There are federation laws and judges (1st directive, in strange new worlds, laws against eugenics). Those laws and positions of power are decided on a federal level. How do you do that in an anarchist organization?

I fail to see how a federation can not be a representative government (because different worlds have different political systems, representative democracy is the only one that can make them all on an equal footing).

I certainly don’t know much about anarchism, but different planets in the federation can and do have different kinds societies.

If we consider the vulcan in brace new world for example, their society seems very much aristocratic for example, where influence gives authority and power. I doubt the klingon are anarchists either. And in lower deck, the orions have a monarchy.

The federation is the government of the collection of planets, but each planet still has its own government and culture.

It’s a federation, which means it’s a group of government who decided to get some of their rules and organzations in common. Each government in the federation can be different, although there are some implications for the federation to work: they must recognize the borders and laws of the federation, and they must participate in its function.

Exactly. In some way the software is a lock that ensure the property of the machine stays to the company that built it.

You’re all true until allocating scarce resources. These days economy is how to make scarce something that isn’t in order to profit from it. See copyrights and patents. In our society a replicator would be the property of a company and you would need to pay it to be allowed to use it.

Thanks for the offer. I’m not really put off by the difficulty, but I feel it’s impossible for me to make a build intuitively. In kingmaker I just failed miserably to it, and playing in easy was just a slog. I need to find some builds to blindly follow I imagine, and spend my money on equipment.

There is a remake : the enhanced edition. The games both run on the bg2 engine, with some tweaks to the interface and inventory management.

I’ve been really put off by the pathfinder rules on this one. Maybe I should try again.

People mistaken fun and trivializing.

The game is balanced around being difficult, so that you need your team and stratagems (weapons included) to beat it.

When you get a new overpowered weapon, it feels great because the game is so hard/tedious otherwise. But it is actually an overpowered weapon.
