Hey there!

I used to try and play AOE4 a few years back, around the time when OotD was added. I've returned and just like before, my biggest issue remains the balance between troops and Vills.

"Always build villagers" is advice i kept seeing back then AND now, but now I've had atleast a little bit of know-how so that I could keep their number growing and genuinely having a decent economy.

Problem was that I then got raided and usually had nothing or very little to defend myself with. It's certainly a skill issue on my part but I'm curious regardless.. what's the good balance? When do you start pumping more Into the army? (The faction i main now is the Byzantines. They're cool, though sometimes their unique units feel worse than their base counterparts)

Ive been struggling against them, like.. real badly
The biggest issue is the relentless MLRS spam, as well as the seemingly insane scouting capabilities.
It feels like every match were facing off against a team full of cheaters, when in reality Im pretty sure theres just a Termit or two that somehow managed to sneak in and spy on us without us having any way to see them. I feel like their stealth and spotting capabilites are hella busted but ultimately, thats not why Im here.

What is your way to deal with the guards? Any tips? Some suggestions?

Their infantry (with the exception of Vympels) doesnt feel that OP, same goes for their rather lacking armor. The biggest issue really is the invisible recon drones and salvos upon salvos of MLRS

Howdy!
Im very, very new to Bolt action, mainly was talked into it by a friend after Ive lost interest in wh40k tabletop, and I must say it all looks really interesting. Im still yet to decide what set to purchase (likely it will be one of the starter ones) but already, I have decided on my german guys being part of a Luftwaffe Field Division.

Despite knowing the basic meaning of the ranking (althought if someone would like to explain it further to me, I wouldnt complain either) I mainly suffer with the coloring of their ranks.
I do know that red is reserved for FLAK crews, and.. thats pretty much it. I have zero idea what each colour means, and all my searches have led me to finding their meaning for the fliers, not the actual ground forces.
Could you guys give me a run down for it? I could give all my troops yellow and be done with it as my friend has suggested, but that doesnt seem right.

What kind of ships or assets would you like to see added in the future? Personally, id love something akin to a Missile Cruiser, that being the largest possible capital ship while still remaining within reason.

Edit: Submarines could be a cool strategic target, althought Im not sure how fighting against them would work from a gameplay side

Hello
I wanted to play the Utah mission with my buddy, however it is impossible.
No matter who hosts it, we cannot join each other due to an error. "Map desynchronization" appears any time we try to join to one another.
I tried to look around for any clues, but most are directed at people who played modded MP together, not the campaign.
Any idea how to fix this?

Howdy!
Ive been playing Finals for quite a good while, and all that time the game ran well. Sometimes it had hickups, but it wasnt nothing I couldnt solve by lowering the graphical settings.
A few days ago I started suffering from severe stutters to the point the game became unplayable.
This started happening after I moved the game from my HDD to my SSD, in order to speed up the performance of the game.
It is not caused by the internet or the servers, the game claims that its something on my side. The stutters can last for several seconds in certain circumstances, and they most often happen during the destruction of buildings or when a player dies (or gets hit, when the coins get dropped)
This became beyond frustrating when any fight I got into ended up with me freezing in place.

Is this happening to anyone else? Is there some solution for this sort of stuff?
I tried to lower the settings to the absolute minimum, toyed with NVIDIA (which for some reason loves to pump up the graphics settings all the way to max) and nothing helped.
