No, it's from being unable to use your hands to paddle afloat in the water

Oh...so its less a pirate name...and more like what they put on my headstone

"Aye this poor soul had him some short hands! When the waves blew him overboard he couldn't stay afloat on account of his tiny hands...damn shame...he drowned."

I'm waiting for the arrival of the fearsome Beard Butters.

Wouldn't that be Short Hands the Drownee?

Well, that seems like an awesome mechanic, and i’m rather keen to start recruiting some dregs.

Also, “Tiny Tim Saltspray” is a cool name and i’m glad to have it.

There's a new gameplay video for the Vampire Coast. Apparently Vampires can build pirate coves in enemy settlements, and have a Ranked scoreboard for the Best Pirates.

Also this video continues the tradition of killing High Elves to demonstrate the new faction stuff.

I stopped playing due to the blatent cheating of the AI.
Has that been changed yet?

Depends on what you mean by blatant cheating. The AI is still going to cheat, because any strategy game's AI needs to cheat to present any sort of challenge. So the question is what cheats specifically annoyed you?

IMO the cheating in TW:WH 1 is actually not too bad, at least on normal or hard.

If you're a fan of strategy games and have an issue with cheating AI you're going to be missing out on most of the good titles. The technology just isn't there yet to make good AI for complex games.

I would go as far as saying "you will miss out on most any game"

Developing AI is difficult, takes a lot of time, and takes a lot of specialized experience and knowledge. Almost all games deal with game difficulty through bonuses and penalties instead of taking the time to develop a whole new branch of AI just for a difficulty level.

At least this one doesn't do the Shogun 2 thing where if you don't have vision over the enemy, they will cheatspawn fullstack armies instantly for free. I remember the only way to defeat the AI on legendary in Shogun 2 was to have agents over their settlements at all times for vision. If not the fullstacks never ended.

Or you could collect their skulls for the Skull Throne. Eternally.

The only thing I consider true, annoying AI bullshit in TWW (both 1 and 2) is that they get public order bonuses on anything above medium. Which, of course, means corruption is just fancy attrition to them and they get no rebels.

Which is hy I mod that out.

Yeah, I also mod out the Great Power diplomacy malus.

Nice thing about this series is you can just mod out whatever you don't like. Or make it as hard as you want.

Urgh the Great Power diplomacy malus in all TW/Paradox games really pisses me off - it's basically just a flat 'you're doing well' penalty which makes no logical sense. Always modded out instantly.
