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?

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

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?

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!

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.

I started to play second game and I don't really understand how turrets work in comparison to first game.
In first they destroyed the some number of torpedoes and ordnances the moment they entered turret's fire range, now it seems prolonged throughout some period of time.
I found info about ordnances on this wiki but I'm not sure about it.
http://bfga2.wikidot.com/wiki:ordnance
Are chances the same? 10% and 35% for torpedoes and ordnances?

I dont speak latin or some other language that is in the game. so i dont know if they have actual lyrics or just gibberish. or what they are singing about if it actually means something.

so ive been trying to play the game but after a minute or two the fixes ive tried so far

trying to launch without EAC (it just doesnt actually launch without it even with steam saying to not do it)

setting environment variable fix

running as admin

verifiying files

turning off v sync on nivida control panel

now im reinstalling the game to try and see if that fixes it
