I've been making huge games (huge map, 8 factions) lately where I put myself on a team with a couple AI allies vs. a lot of enemies.

For whatever reason in the game start my allies start sending their troops directly to my base even if they're on the other side of the map which gets their soldiers killed and screws them up big time.

I have to use the cursor tool to literally tell them to go back to their base and that only works half the time.

Anyone know why this is?

Whenever I play an Imperium faction for example I feel like I want to put the other Imperium factions on my same time. Am I going against how the game is meant to be played by doing this? I'm still a new player.

I was gifted the game plus all DLCs for my birthday recently during the steam summer sale.

I love 40k and so this was a nice gift.

Anyhow, I'm wanting to get into the game but with so many factions to pick from, I'm wondering what's a good starter faction to learn the game on?

My personal favorite faction lore wise is Imperial Guard, but I heard they are not a good starter faction.

This is actually lore-friendly. In the Gotrek and Felix book Dragonslayer, Malakai is basically chasing after a Dragon who's killed abunch of dwarfs.

The Spirit of Grungni catches up to the dragon and so Malakai deploys his gyrocopters to fight with it. They're losing the battle and the dragon seems to have the upper hand until one dwarf with a damaged Gyrocopter does a 9/11-style terrorist attack at the Dragon and crashes directly into it's chest, leaving a horrible wound and making the dragon retreat.

Wouldn't that be a cool last resort option for gyrocopters to have in-game?

I'm having trouble with a cooling fan not coming on in a 2022 BMW X5, 6 cylinder, 3.0 liter engine, Sdrive40i (Only including the engine specs because of the subreddit rules, I know the engine is probably irrelevant to this particular issue).

Diagnostic scanner brings back a code of CD8E10 indicating "LIN bus, communications: Missing".

If I understand correctly this means one of the LIN wires is not reporting to the master node. I ruled out the motor of the cooling fan itself, as I installed it on another vehicle and it worked fine.

So just wondering where do I need to be looking, in order to resolve this properly?
Any advice from those who know about this topic is greatly appreciated, it's been a real headache.

Can any NYC drivers relate to this?

Brooklyn in general usually has okay tips, not as good as when I used to live in Texas, but not terrible. The higher rate you get as a dasher in NYC does well to make up for it.

However I've made AT LEAST 50ish orders to the Borough Park neighborhood and every single time except for once I've never gotten a tip there. And the one time someone did tip, it was $4.29 on a 96.71 order lol. Tip baiting extremely common there.

The other problem is the people who order from the neighborhood are extremely rude, extremely demanding, and are often demanding weird things. Had one guy once tell me he wanted me to come inside and let him check over his order while I'm there and when I asked why he said "So you can't just hop in your car and run off when I discover something is fucked up with my food" lmao.

Don't worry, I didn't comply with that.

I don't know why I keep accepting orders from there, hoping for something to change. I won't anymore, now I just want to vent/rant.

I do dashing on and off for extra cash, I work as a mechanic full time so it's just supplementary income, so I'm not hurting from it too bad, but it's annoying nonetheless and makes me feel bad for those who are doing this full time in that area.

Hello, I have an older (bought 2019ish) pair of Bose QC Headphones.

Recently in the last week or so the battery suddenly overnight started lasting a much shorter period of time. Like 4hrs for one charge whereas before it was closer to 14 or more per full charge.

Now in only a matter of days the issue has degraded to the point that a full charge is lasting only about 30 minutes.

Having had experience with batteries going bad in headphones and other rechargeable devices before usually it's a much slower and more gradual process than this.

So I'm wondering, is my battery going bad or is something else going on?
Is it potentially fixable whatever it is, or should I go ahead and buy new headphones?

My History Professor told us today that one could arguably make the claim that America fought in the Napoleonic Wars on the side of Napoleon.

His justification was that although Napoleon and America weren't really great friends or close allies, nor was there any formal entry by America into the Napoleonic wars, the war of 1812 served to split Britain's attention and thus effectiveness in both conflicts, and was mutually beneficial to both France and the United States.

He drew a similarity to how in World War 2 Japan was forced to keep a huge number of it's soldiers on the border with the USSR once it entered the war, thus keeping those soldiers away from fighting against the Chinese or the Americans.

And also how although Japan and Germany's separate wars against China and Europe respectively were separate conflicts, they ultimately blended together and we now consider both as part of the same war.

I've never heard this before, is there any truth to it?

First I'll say the book for me is great, one of my favorites to come recently, but I do have one nitpick about it:

How come there's little to no mention of the effect his Primarch aura has on both the mortals and loyalist space marines he encounters?

The only time it's remotely hinted at is at the very end when he meets the Blood Angels.

Isn't the Lion supposed to have one of the most overwhelming Primarch Auras?

By contrast Guilliman is supposed to have basically an average Primarch Aura and yet it's mentioned constantly how people in his presence, especially baseline humans, can barely handle it unless they have a lot of exposure to him.

I mean I remember in the Cawl book this Techmarine was telling Alpha Primus how tons of people who encountered Guilliman killed themselves afterwards because they felt meeting him was the pinnacle and the rest of their lives are now meaningless.

Then he tells him about how his fellow Techmarine (a full on space marine mind you) cut out his own vocal chords and vowed never to speak again just because of how overwhelming it was to meet Guilliman.

And you're telling me in the Lion book the baseline humans basically just talk to him like their old grandpa? Admittedly a grandpa they respect, but still.

I'm a little newer to Fantasy lore so forgive the possible naive question.

But isn't the Horned Rat just the god of all the same stuff Nurgle is a god of?
Filth? Decay? Pestilence?

How is it possible both can exist without taking away power and influence from each other thus weakening both?

Been wanting to try out SFO and have been told it makes certain factions better, but vanilla is better for others, is this true?

I've heard Empire and Dwarves and others are much better on SFO but factions like Oxyotl, Tamurkhan, Tehenuain, etc are better on vanilla, is this true?

Hello, my dad runs a mechanic shop and until now he's recruited new guys via word of mouth for the most part.

But right now he's struggling to find an older lead mechanic to take over for someone who just retired, and I wanted to help him.

Are there any good websites you'd recommend recruiting from? Or perhaps, if you're a mechanic, where were you recruited off of?

Thank you
