Payday 5

[Confederate Jeb]

Alright, that was the fastest, most boring week yet, since nothing happened, but payday is back. Yawn. Anyway, I've decided that since I have nothing better to do, I'm going to add on to payday with some highlights from the week. Not that there are that many this week...

NEWMEMBERS

- 68 Powers
- Elzabar

LEAVING MEMBERS

- Sidmen

HIGHLIGHTS

- Paul d's new faction had a meeting with some other members.
- I actually made it to a battle and figured out I need a bigger navy.
- We had a discussion about special units which somehow led me to going on Wikipedia to look for up bats.

[Ephialtes The Dog]

[Rebel Jeb]

Wikipedia is beast. Bats on the other hand..Not really.

[Erwin Rommel]

[Confederate Jeb]

Um...I have one that has where the new cities are as well as where this Elzabar guy might be. It's on the last page of the map thread.

Since Sidmen left, we REALLY need a new map guy now. I don't know what program he was using, but if someone showed me what and how to use it, I would be able to update it quite regularly.

You don't need a bigger navy, you need the brunt of your navy to fight effectively. In the Roman Era it was ramming, much later on it was Men-O'-War firing huge volleys of cannons at each other, in WWI it became Battleships launching ultrapowerful artillery from afar, and now it's aircraft carriers and planes. In the Medieval era, boarding was at its prime. It's good to have some artillery ships for support and to help take coastal cities (there are enough to make that useful), but generally you should have a strong marine force with very little/no artillery.

As Repeaters cost 1250 apiece, you're sapping most of the strength of your navy for minimal results. Heavy Warships cost only 2000 each, and you can't exceed their value in terms of troops used. When you buy one, suddenly you only have 750 to spend on crews for even Heavies, resulting in total shite defenders. Meanwhile, the Vikings spend 1500-1750 on crews. Suffice to say yours get devastated.

Huh? We can add to the price and make the marines better? that's what I was going to ask but I have no idea what you just said...

Your artillery use up all the strength of your ships. Repeating Ballista cost 1250. If you have a ship that costs 1500, the marines will be useless in battle, as they'll have no training.

I love posting this on every thread. You never said anything about customization.

As for repeating balista, I thought we were supposed to have a weapon on our ships, not you have to spend a certain amount on the weapon and what not.

Dude. Things have always been like this. If you have lots of expensive artillery, your marines will be uber-weak.

[Confederate Jeb]

Why didn't you say anything about this last dang time I brought it up!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?! Now I lost half my fleet cuase you bring up the rules the minute they come into effect without ever telling us WHAT THEY ARE!!!!!!!

WE DECIDED THAT ARTILLERY-HEAVY SHIPS WOULD HAVE MARINES WHEN WE CAME TO A DECISION ON FLEET STRENGTH WEEKS BACK! YOU SPECIFIED YOU HAD STRONG ARTILLERY ON YOUR SHIPS, AND IF YOU DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION, THAT'S YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT!

Now, can a mod PLEASE delete all this stuff? We can discuss this over PMs.

[Confederate Jeb]

I siad it was for all professional class ships. I was trying to think of a artillary weapon a professional class ship would have.

EDIT: But whatever. If you are only just now telling us this, of course after I fight a battle and lose a good portion of my fleet, I'll make his royal annoyingness happy and put WHERE EACH SINGLE COIN WENT INTO THE MAKING OF MY SHIPS!!!!!
