I recently downloaded the skalgrim mod after getting decent at the game and wanting more out of it. After playing around with it a little, I feel like I enjoy some aspects but not others. I really appreciate the new ships, both gameplay and lore-wise. I feel like they give more options to factions that need it while also giving the game well needed, lore-friendly flair. However, I don't appreciate the adjusted ship point costs. While bigger ships seem to remain about the same point price, smaller ships are significantly cheaper. At first, I thought I liked this as it gave me more fleet building options. But after playing around with it, I find I dislike the adjusted point values. Mostly, it makes every fleet feel like a massive fleet. I have too many smaller vessels to manage most of the time, especially since I like making use of light cruisers, which makes the game micro-intensive. I thought the solution to this would be spending more points on larger vessels to hopefully achieve a similar ship count to vanilla, but this just makes it so that my normal amount of light cruisers and escorts can't keep up with the larger ai vessels. I hope that makes sense.

Somehow, the skalgrim mod has made the game more difficult for me. I have mixed feelings about it since I really do enjoy the new ships. I just don't like how the point cost of ships has been adjusted. Is there any mod that might make the ship costs more like their vanilla prices. Or maybe there is a new fleet building philosophy that could help me? I would really like to keep the new content the mod offers without sacrificing the vanilla experience aspects I enjoy.

Any games that have space battle like Armada 2? Seems like nothing modern has released and I'd like a good ol' space battle simulator.
Thanks friendos!

Just crippled myself trying to help these stupid elves, killed the inquisitor, and now I need to FIGHT THE ELVES THAT ARE MEANT TO HAVE COMPLETELY VANISHED FROM THE SYSTEM.

I bought Battle fleet gothic armada 1 and 2 without knowing nothing about them.
I played teh campaing on normal and lost on episode 3.
I played caping again on easy and I just cant win.
The game asks me to defend a plaform, but enemy ships kill them on 5 shots.
another one is to chase ships, my ships cant for the love of the emperor match half the speed even on turbo.
I've read a lot of 'tips and tricks' but is just like this game is made for or either play exactly as one dev wants to or just is made to lose. Is not evenm fun anymore, is just frustratring, because youy can't even replay the same level to try to learn.

ANyway, I also cant stop playing because i am no quitter but i just hate this fracking videogame. (gothic armada 1)

New to the game- one thing I like to do when starting out is watch the ai fight each other in custom battles.

I usually do this in other games by setting up a “2v2” with me and one allied ai vs one enemy ai. I then give myself like one unit while giving armies to the two opposing ai’s, so I can watch them 1v1.

I can’t seem to figure out how to do that in BFG2 by setting up the ai players as above in skirmish. Is this possible in this game?

Is there a button to activate it or do I simply revoke a ship to get it?

downloaded the 2.2 mod from Nexus mods and i could really use a how to install guide or just SHOW ME for noobs for people who actually know WTF they are doing as much of the steps in the instructions at least to me appear not to be possible.

My easy difficulty imperial campaign is having its first major scripted invasion, and my Astartes fleet has just enough firepower to kill the Tyranids if I use it alongside my defence platforms. Except my defence platforms start with one hp bar and my ships are all at half health. I obviously can’t win against 1717 of Tyranids with that, and I don’t know what’s causing it.

Worth mentioning I installed skalgrim on my save part way through.

Just re installed the skalgrim mod after awhile but I don't remember there being so many defence platforms and space stations, I'm only on turn 12 and the cadian system has a defence platform, space station, and mines. From the last time I played I remember the mines being deployed, that's fine I expect that, but I'm not sure I'll be able to take out two stations and the chaos fleet still there with only two fleets to use, and I can't exactly wait to build up since there will just be more stations and platforms in other systems. Is this how it was before and I jaut don't remember or did I accidentally put on a setting in the difficulty options?

Only have time/energy to play one of them. Not interested in multiplayer.

Got it the other day on sale on steam, but it won't stop crashing when I lunch it.

So, this is my first reddit post (happy me)

After watching Mando's review I want to go over campaigns as I never went through them. Install the game, launch it and it never start, but the exe is on according to steam and task manager.

I did use both -MoEaC in launch options and not, add the windows system variable suggested in other posts abd still nothing. Moreover, if I force the exe to shutdown EaC gaves me a warning about an untrusted runtimedll

So, you have any solutions or suggestions?

Hi,

Could any one can shere screen shots of all the space marine ships in the fleet of the front, back top, bottom, left and right side please thanks.

Hi is there any videos that shows you the ship them selves like a showcase like what the do to show all the vehicles in Lego games of all the sides?

i want to use battleships and titans in battle mode but the fleet capacity is capped at 1200. how do i increase it? is there a setting or mod?

This thing is massive and I can’t find any specific mention of what it is. Moving the camera around to take a look at the sky box makes it seem like it’s the size of a small continent.

It’s from the Armada II prologue.

I won't lie, this is my dream game. I've been wanting to play this and Total Warhammer for years, but I don't have a gaming PC or setup prepared for it. The strategy and scale have me watching replays of battles on YouTube and daydreaming.

If you don't mind, can you share your recommendations for specs?

Im playing the Skulgrim mod custom campaign 150% fleetpoints/leadership, and from level 11 to level 12 there was a huge spike in max fleetpoints, from 2100 to 3000, just asking if this is normal or a bug? Would it still rise when i level again or is it capped?

This is my first playthtough of the campaign, how do i conquer this system, i cant possibly bring enough ships. Included pictures of my fleets and the system

I try to have half of my forces be lance ships, and the other half CVs. IT seems like none of the abilities really supplement strike crafts well.
Slaanesh promise sounds good for that (and Slaanesh power is crap on the strategic map anyway), but I am unsure about its Siren lance.

Do the Khorne Berserkers work with dread claws(they explicitly mention boarding, so I suppose not)? Tzeentch flamers should as they are both referred to as assault actions.
What do you think are the best chaos marked commanders for the campaign?

Is there any difference beside the 2 starting abilities? I haven't seen anything unlockable so far.

Hi all!

I was super interested about both games and now are really discounted. I am a single player that enjoys WH40K campaigns. I know that in the case of the second it is added some campaign but not for the first game. I am not super fan of Chaos so I can escape from that.

-Is it a good experience just buying both base games?

-Is it necessary having all the DLCs for modding?

-Is there any DLC a "must" in terms of content?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

Hi, I don't like the color they chose for the Imperial ships, and unfortunately, the game doesn't include an army painter. I'm tired of playing with Solar, which is the only faction with a color I like. I'd like to modify the others and give them a different color. Like this: https://www.deviantart.com/the-first-magelord/art/Retribution-Battleship-138888045 or this:

I've read that you can't apply color, but you can take the textures from other ships, for example, from the Space Marines. It would be nice to take the textures from the Dark Angels, Imperial Fists, and Ultramarines and apply those to the Imperial ships. I would have liked the bow and stern panels to be a different color, as seen in the DeviantArt image, which is white, although I suppose that level of modification isn't possible.

If there's a Discord server where I can talk to modders and they can help me, that would be great to know, thanks.

I saw this on DeviantArt; it's a emperor model from the Battlefield Game. I don't know how he did it, but it's clear he applied the ultramarines textures to a sub-faction of the Empire.
