Thread: Rome 2 total war12 Sep 2013, 04:18 AM It wasn't perfect, but people like to think CA is capable of improvement. Maybe they're wrong. The reason I don't think looking back to Rome requires rose-tinted glasses: 1. Rome added more features than it removed from Medieval (and it removed a fair few). This isn't true of Rome II; it removed more than it added. 2. Rome was very moddable and supported some spectacular overhauls in its lifespan. This won't be true of Rome II. 3. Rome was the first real 3D game they did and the first on its engine. Rome II is CA's 7th game in the same series and the 3rd on the same engine. The recipe was there for CA to put out its best game yet - I'm one of the believers that Shogun 2 was CA's most polished release yet. Then they take 3 giant steps back. Whether because of lack of effort, lack of funds (too much into marketing...) or because of Sega driving it out the door. Ironically, what Rome and Rome II do have in common is overhyped and overpromised pre-Alpha footage that justifiably left many people turned off on release day. In: Other Games

Thread: CoH2 is awesome all you supposedly pro players5 Jun 2013, 18:15 PM I don't believe they're referring to the larger area capture zones, but rather the number and placement of points, the resources they earn, the cache system... In: Lobby

Thread: Let's get physical! (Workout thread)1 Jun 2013, 23:46 PM My bench press technique is awful and I can't for the life of me correct it. It's very frustrating. Not "fuck up my shoulders" awful but "missing the sternal pecs completely" awful. I've tried taping myself and though I corrected several flaws it hasn't really changed anything. Grip is shoulder width, back is arched with shoulders packed as far as I'm able. Feet are flat and sturdy on the floor when i start, although they usually slip a bit. Bar stays straight going up and down, target is the bottom of my sternum. Usually feel most of the burn in my upper abs and back, and if I work out long enough my arms and clavicular pecs. Nothing in the chest proper. In: Scrap Yard
Thread: CoH Stats v230 May 2013, 14:55 PM From what I can see it's strictly +1 Move Speed. It's basically PE Panzer Grenadier Sprint. Taken from the files from the last Closed Beta patch, it might have changed but I doubt it In: Lobby
Thread: CoH Stats v230 May 2013, 01:49 AM That field is grabbing info from the wrong line I believe They both receive 0.5x Received Accuracy modifiers, but in the Soviet Infantry pages on the website I believe it's displaying the Capture_enable_squad_modifier which is a -1 value. There's no difference in Retreat bonuses from what I can see. In: Lobby

Thread: 4 things that would make CoH2 instantly better7 May 2013, 19:22 PM Jump back to quoted post7 May 2013, 18:21 PMCrackBarbie @Kolaris: I don't think the system would work out too well with those numbers. I.e. late game army of 55 pop and 7 (Kholodny has 11) sectors held would net a MP output of 266-280mp depending on whether sectors yield +3 or +5 mp, which imo makes upkeep too insignificant. I would try -1.5 per pop rounded up and +5 per sector, since in the same scenario this would result in 242mp. This would shift the focus towards map control, and also penalize a player for over-investing into tier 1, which I find is probably the only good feature of coh2's current upkeep system. It also allows a behind player to mount a comeback by cutting off the ahead player from his sectors, severely decreasing said player's mp income. Finally, in no competitive game will any player reach pop cap, so it's senseless to argue that 150mp income at 100pop (territory control notwithstanding) is too little. The numbers don't factor in Manpower from points because I don't think Relic will change that. But if they do, suggested numbers would definitely need to be tweaked. Keep in mind that population values on tanks are much higher (about 50%) than in vCoH, and that hitting the upper limit of Upkeep @ 75 Pop was not at all uncommon in the Beta. So, the question is whether we would need more MP/Pop or a lower base income, and how much points should give. I'll have to think about that some more, but more opinions would be welcome.
