Correct me if I'm wrong, but desert attrition is unavoidable correct?

**zala** · January 03, 2019, 10:14 AM

as per title.

**kpagcha** · January 03, 2019, 10:46 AM

Pretty sure that's correct. Some factions and units are immune to "heat" attrition but not sure if desert considered to be of that type.

you can avoid desert attrition if you stay on the designated roads, whereas heat resistant armies can go anywhere.

Sorry as this has caused some drama above but Ive posted in the sticky above and i do attempt to post both here AND the stickied thread, this time however I forgot so my bad

however, Im sticking to roads, Even tested with a supply train in my army, and still I get attrition so not sure if thats intentional ?

Please post questions in the questions sticky, rather than making new topics with the actual question as a title.

To be fair many questions in that multithread get ignored unfortunately... about 50% of my questions that I would love to get answered in there get 0 responses because of the nature of the discussion... It gets pretty frustrating over time.

Well, We're humans after all and (all the members,testers,support) really try to never leave a question pending, but some times or even many times we just can't do it, due to lack of time, energy, over extension etc. I personally try to answer every single question, but be aware that I don't know everything and I have missed a few details from our latest features, because I don't have the time to play-test as much as before. Also it's really harmful and more difficult for us to maintain 50 mini threads instead of a big one.

PS
To be also fair @Dardo is very helpful and tries to satisfy even personal modding requests from our users, he deserves an applause actually.

Then your alternative is to ignore the mod teams requests and do as you please? Noted.

That's the conclusion you draw from what I said? It saddens me you think that way.

I was simply stating out a fact: many questions in the questions thread are ignored and don't get the attention new posts do. The problem is not the people, members usually chime in and most time it's you guys helping out. The problem is the structure/organization of the forum ("the nature of the discussion" as I called it). I completely understand what you say, but the fact remains the same: a post gets more attention than a question in a multi thread. As I said I'm just pointing out a fact, don't take it in a bad way...

Not sure how maintaining a single thread with mixed responses scattered all over the place (what a mess) is easier for you guys than individual, structured threads on a single topic. But hey it's you guys maintaining it so if you say so it must be true. I think a "questions" subforum would be ideal but I may be wrong.

It might come from the users of DeI being spread out in a number of places. They have Discord, Steam, TWC, (in my case) YouTube, and I think Reddit? Checking all of those is a ridiculously laborious task. Probably a bit less likely to miss things when you can just bookmark a questions thread and check it every now and then.

1) You can easily find similar questions and answers by hundreds, just by searching in the questions sticky.
2) I have seen posts with similar content and the answer to their question just a page back, but still they create another thread about it. I can see it daily, not just once or twice.
3) No worries buddy, I understand your point of view and I rarely misunderstand a post. I can see your good intentions and I appreciate your activity.
4) Are you talking about a Questions only thread ?

Yeah, tell me about it! Sometimes I spent 2 hours just for maintenance and moderation.

I also highly suggest all users join and utilize the discord channel for such questions/discussions. Not only are you more likely to get a quick-response, but you can engage and receive input from multiple users/team members quite efficiently

Posted a suggestion here http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...ent-Suggestion, but I don't want to derail the conversation from the OP.

To answer your question, this is a feature of the desert provinces and will always occur if an army isn’t connected to a supply line.
