>заявляет про йоба-город.

>беззащитная кормушка снежинок-толстосумов, не озаботившаяся обороной, так и просит о своём раззорении.

>по твоим же словам, прутся из другой части карты, но за всё это время не были перехвачены патрульными отрядами или взяты боем на границе.

>город такой йоба-богатый, что, заметив врагов на горизонте, не смог позволить себе купить один-два отряда наёмников или героя с обвесом или хотя бы банально поднять гарнизон ополчения. (да, если навязать бой на первый ход осады, то только за счёт прокаченных стен ополчение против бродяг становится полностью неуязвимым уже в середине игры)

>сами враги, возможно, подошли незамеченными, хотя в игре есть механика сторожевых башен

Смирись, эта игра не для тебя. Катай в пробельчик, там даже ромка-попрыгун нагибает компьютер с полутора механиками.
Допускать ошибки простительно всем. Но винить в них игру, признаваясь в собственной неосторожности - это какой-то кошмар. Ты бы ещё заявил, что конь в шахматах может ходить вбок, потому что кони умеют делать боковой аллюр.

>если я заплачу

Ты тут условия в треде ставишь, что ли?
Открытым текстом заявлять о том, что богатый город был оставлен без надёжной защиты (и это учитывая, что в легенде компьютер видит твою мощь и на ней основано очень многое в дипломатии паритета), что какой-то враг маршем идёт за тридевять земель и при этом не был остановлен, что соседний регион не в силах оперативно прийти на помощь И ПРИ ЭТОМ ВСЁМ ЗАЯВЛЯТЬ, ЧТО ВИНОВАТА ИГРА.
Это что ты за каекер такой? Зачем тебе моды, если можно просто поставить на изи.
Я за эти три с половиной года легенды не припомню ни одного наглеца в этих тредах, который бы терпел потерю от нейтралов и при этом винил в такой нелепой оказии игру, а не кривые руки и мозги.
ИНБ4 пок-пок, не очень-то и хотелось.
Учись играть головой, а не винить игру в том, что твою мега-империю унижает табун из семи мимо-цыган, у которых даже городов и производства нет.
Сори за эмоциональность, но с самоуверенности неженок мне очень горит.

>>652700
Ты допускаешь элементарные ошибки, которые компенсируешь сленгом, из-за чего тебя вообще хуй поймёшь

>С трёх сторон подкрепы из других пров, точек подкрепления нет

Что это предложение означает?
Точки подкреплений есть всегда, в любом бою. Их не может не быть, это игромех. Минимум две точки, кроме строений на мысах. Тогда там одна точка и если зажали на первый ход, то возникают проблемы. Ну, это и логично - нехуй строиться в тупике, игра за это наказывает.

>беззащитных толстосумов

Ты дрочишь на свои кучи золота или что? Экономическая победа так-то засчитывает за оборот валюты, а не за залежи монет. Если ты потратишь эти деньги на наёмников, то они всё равно зачтутся тебе в счёт экономической победы.

>стеной без ворот, я не строил

Что ты вообще описываешь?
Городская стена обрамляет регионы. Нельзя строить стены отдельно от регионов, они всегда выстраиваются по внешней границе города. Пройти можно на любую клетку города, если он не в осаде (даже если в осаде - выведенный гарнизон перемещается по городу свободно).

>по техам не отставать

А то что? Какая вообще ценность у "сферических технологий"?
Я понимаю проблемы первых эпох, когда идёт соревнование на ранние порты, захват морских крепостей и так далее, когда хочется порыться на рынке ресурсов с ещё околонулевой инфляцией.
Далее технологии представляют ценность исключительно своим содержанием

>производства нет

>отстать по техам

Нахуя тебе технологии, если у тебя проблемы с производством? Какой толк в ассортименте построек, если каждая из них строится долго и со скрипом? В отличие от ЕС, здесь комплексное (но очень хитрое и дотошное) развитие всех систем игры, технологий, дающих мгновенный эффект на империю не так уж много (и точно не для того, чтобы вступать в гонку науки).
ЕЛ требует одновременно очень большой концентрации и очень щепитильной работы с фишками фракции. Любой бонус, любая блажь должна быть ключевой механикой.
За аллайев есть, казалось бы, смешной бонус на +20% длительности роскоши за активную роскошь. Но если изначально оценить рынок и задать приоритет, то уже в мидгейме у тебя эта роскошь будет работать не 10 ходов, как у всех, а под 50. Комбинируя это со стелсом, можно уже за первые две зимы профилировать города исключительно в производство, а науку и пищу получать от жемучжных заготовок. Но нужно не просто ломиться к этой цели, а вычислять цепочки. Легенда любит арифметику.
Купцы - казалось бы, почти низкий старт, поставленный крест на ранней агрессии. Но, зато, доступная технология второй эпохи. Рынок с околоотрицательной инфляцией, где можно закупиться невероятной годнотой по совершенно бросовым ценам (когда другие цивилизации откроют эту технологию, цены возрастут в пять-шесть раз).
Забытые - потребность в рассредоточении войск, но зато полная возможность игнорировать любые сражения, просто наблюдая из теней за передвижениями армий. Это неописуемый кайф - грабить экстракторы, воровать технологии, резать население соседа по материку, который ДАЖЕ НЕ ЗНАЕТ О ТВОЁМ СУЩЕСТВОВАНИИ и его отношение к тебе "Империи не встретились".
Или выиграть за Моргоров, вообще не продвигаясь вглубь материков дальше первого прибрежного региона. Исследование мира - исключительно вдоль берегов, никаких экспедиций в джунгли, только чистый каботаж и пиратство.
Но из-за рандома, движения квеста, ассортимента героев и типа регионов игра меняет эти тактики в мелочах. Двух одинаковых партий просто не бывает, универсальные тактики попросту не работают, всегда нужно смотреть контекст.
В итоге, ЕЛ парадоксальным образом оказывается одновременно и более вариативной, чем ЕС2, и более ассиметричной, с чёткими профилями рас.
(Крайне характерно, что большинство отрицательных рецензий в Стиме сводятся к тому, что игра требует слишком много вычислять и держать в уме сразу множество переменных. Дожили, блядь. Претензия к 4х стратегии в сложности комбинаторики)
