StaceyPowers Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 If you are playing a game with limited supplies and you run through a lot of them winning a fight, do you typically go back and retry to save the supplies, even if the fight is pretty hard? I usually do, if I’m not assured of more supplies coming up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 If it was a seriously difficult battle, I wouldn't because in circumstances like that you always stand to use up a lot of supplies and there's every chance you'll lose more than the initial attempt. I'll simply forage for more after that battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withywarlock Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) Sometimes. In Total War you have the ability to play out a battle manually on a field/in a siege, but alternatively you can instantly resolve the conflict via auto-resolve. The latter's not the most reliable at calculating unit strength, health, numbers and other factors that can change dramatically on the field, but it's an easy way of avoiding ~10-20 minutes that might end up having a negligable or otherwise boring outcome. Three cheers for savescumming, eh? It depends on the mood I'm in. I'm reminded of a political cartoon named The Pyrrhic Victory of the Mulligan Guards: "Another victory like this, and our money's gone!"

m76 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I try again if I feel there is room to do much better. If I don't feel I've made any obvious mistakes I don't try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lludawg Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I am not the biggest fan of redoing things so I will usually only redo it if I know for sure I can be more efficient with my supplies. Sometimes I just like to celebrate a difficult win, even if I could have done better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 If it has taken be hours or just so long to get passed that seriously difficult battle then maybe I just move onto the next one and then fail that I have nothing left. Even if you redo it again, how long will it take to redo it and fail just to save your supplies. Games like that I do not like doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
