I love playing the orcs in Elder Kings, but after a while it becomes pretty tedious having to kill all the 30+ kids you produce throughout a long life banging your three wives. I just can't understand why my heir always wants to kill me, when I have 20+ personal combat skill, and he is a weak little shit.

While the sucession-by-murder thing the orcs have going on may make sense when you live in tiny strongholds, even the orcs should understand that a kingdom might need a bit more stability.

So, I think there should be a way to reform the sucession system. My two proposals are to either have a way of reforming the cult of malacath faith, OR allowing the holder of the title Kingdom of Orsi

The "Big Red One", the "All American", "Screaming Eagles". One can point tovmany famous divisions, especially in WW1 and WW2. Why is this, when a division is just a level in the military strucure?

Why is the names, history and importance of divisions emphacised som much in history, instead of, say, regiments, battalions or army corps?

Is the focus on the division as the "core" army unit specific for some militaries?

Disclaimer: Although I own the game, I have yet to play SD44 beacause of my shit computer. However, it has become one of the few games that I actively enjoy watching streams of, and I'm looking forward to upgrading my laptop so I can play the game. I love the combination of Wargame/WiC-type gameplay and the WW2-setting!

I've been thinking about possible DLCs for Steel Division that could introduce new areas and divisions. The challenges are obivious: If you move to far into the past or the future (Italy or Market Garden) the new divisions will be unbalanced tech-wise, and the gameplay would have to be changed quite a lot.

However there is one campaign that is ideal for a DLC: [Operation

I was thinking the other day that it will be really hard to not make Crusader Kings 3 a real disappointment on release.

CK2 today is very polished, and it's near impossible to have the same depth on release as game that has been tinkered with for years.

So apart from a graphical overhaul, it seems to me like CK3 must contain an overhaul of core mechanichs - things that cannot be changed through DLC.

So, with that in mind, what core mechanics would you liek to se changed or tinkered with in CK3?

I recently learned that a lot og the infantry that fought in the pacific were actually units organized under the Imperial Japanese Navy, not the army.

However, I haven't managed to find out how much infantry the IJN actually fielded in the pacific compared to the IJA, and I also don't really understand which roles the different branches fullfilled.

So, who were these naval infantry units? How many were there of them? and how did they cooperate with the army?

Thanks in advance!

How do you guys feel about the base-building aspects of this game?

Personally, I feel it's the part I dislike the most. I like to focus on the frontline, and playing the coh2 campaign I found myself almost only using call-in troops becuse I didn't like flipping back and forth between the base and the action. My MP-experience is mostly from CoH1, and I remember I felt much the same.

I feel like base-building is a relic from older strategy games, such as C&C, AOE etc, and something that could be removed. I feel like the devs have already started to move in the direction with CoH2 (units entering from off-map, a lot more call-ins etc)

*Do you think CoH could work without base-building?

I'm not sure if this is unique for Elder Kings, or if it is exclusive for Elder Kongs, but anyway:

As you probably know, some province modifiers such ass glass deposits or excavated ruins adds tax bonuses not as a percentage, but as a fixed number.

This applies to ALL holdings in the province, and I noticed the otger day that this includes FORTS!

So, if you build a fort in a province with a fixed tax modifier, you can bump up your income quite a bit. I'm not sure if modifiers such as Trade Route stacks up on this as well, but it's probably worth checking out.

On mobile, so can't post pictures right now.

And sorry if this is common knowledge!

This question hit while reading about the battle of Gaugamela the other day. I read that Alexander apparently had a reserve phalanx in the rear, protecting amongst other things, his camp.

Now to expand the question:

• What percentage of soldiers came into actual contact with the enemy, assuming a battle went more or less "by the books"
• was there normally a clear distinction between front-line and rearguard troops, or did people take turns?
• the romans had their most experienced units (the triarii) in the rearguard. Was this normal, or an exception to the general rule?
• are there any examples of generals gambling on weakening the rearguard and "frontloading" his army?

It seems like a major oversight! Why isn't this possible? It would finally make players have some semblance of control over plotting again.

She was worried the egg would get there first.

Hi there!

I've played the game for a while, but I had a long break after I got myself a new computer and couldn't be bothered to download it from steam.

A couple of weeks ago, though, I felt like playing the game again on my new computer, but this time I encountered a new problem: My cmpouter simply overheats after 2-3 matches. I feel it getting hot shortly after I start playing, and in the second or third match my computer shuts off and I get a message that it's an emergency shutdown.

I'm wondering: Is there anything I can do with the game or with my software to lessen the strain on my computer? I'm not really interested in changing my hardware, as I'm short on cash.

I should mention t

I bought HOI3 on Steam today, and I was psyched to learn the game. However, the game crashes after a few minutes of playing, and I get no explanation as for why.

The game is unmodded, and I believe I have all the DLCs and patches (I bought the collection)

I have yet to link the crashes to a certain event or something I do.

Has anybody here experienced something similar? Does anybody know about a solution?
