@ UCG:
Yes, you can change perks.  Go to the perk guy and when it's open there's a button for "remove" above each of your perks.  Just remove the ones you don't want and add new ones. 

I still only have two because I'm too cheap to pony up the 100k for the third perk slot.  Once I hit 300k in the bank I might do it, though.  Two has been working pretty fine so far, and I just switch them out depending on what I'm doing.  For example, if I'm doing helo runs I always grab the Countermeasure and Engineer perks.

cool, ill swap them around - i feel under an awful lot of pressure as a medic to revive and then usually get shot in the face for the privilege, its only in the last game i came across a guy in a vehicle guarding a building, thats why i chose launcher - would have loved to have fired one up his exhaust pipe

I finished the Armello DAR last night, completing my first game. Won't spoil how it ended but in a couple of ways it was down to the wire.

Spent most of my game-time today working on Nobunaga's Ambition, played a guy on the southernmost coast (far left on the main map) who only had four small castles, half of which were separated from the other half by bits of hostile territory. Still managed to fend off an assault every year by the guy next door; but when I lost one of my other castles about 25 years into the game, I knew I was pretty much toast as there would never be any way for me to train up enough troops to take it back. (I would need larger castles for that, and for larger castles I'd need more workers that I'd need 50 more years to get most likely since I'd lost a third of them in one fell swoop.)

UCG, don't forget you have white smoke grenades.  You can switch to those from normal grenades by pressing ctrl-G or Shift-G...make sure you pick the right one because the wrong one chucks a grenade!  LOL don't accidentally do that away from the safe zone.  So you can pop 2-4 white smokes before you go into a hot area to rescue someone.  Give them a few (like 15+) seconds to really start spewing.  If I feel like I really need them I usually throw them all since I've never been alive long enough to wish I had more.  You can always loot more off a dead body if it comes down to it.

Tuna & I had some good games this afternoon.  I recall at least one match where we each scored three (or more?) kills and had our way with the opposition.

Thanks for the games, that was a lot of fun! .. Didn't get much gaming in this weekend due to 'family' stuff, but today was a blast on the High seas!.. You were kicking ass with that Clemson a few times!

That's what pretty much happened to my first game as clan Motochika on Shikoku island.  I neglected building up my armed manpower focusing instead on rice and gold.  What good are mountain loads of rice and gold when you've got no manpower to protect it?  Started a new game now as clan Uesigi.

On the other hand, the only way to get the kind of man(and horse)power I routinely fought against (and which finally whomped me), is to build up the rice and gold.

Admittedly, I got distracted by focusing more on the crops and gold than on the manpower. I mistake I shall not repeat: insert Eastern wisdom about balance here.

KOTH is awesome

just sayin'

[jamus34]

Is koth a mod or a game type.

Total Arma 3 noob here

[undercovergeek]

A game type - you don't need to modify your game at all

[jamus34]

Cool I looked the other day but couldn't find it, I'll have to try again

Sort the servers by number of players - there's usually one near the top

Euphemism winner!

Ahem...yes KotH is a great Arma experience.  Sort the servers by mission and then pick the one with the best low ping/high number of players combo.  I find actually getting into some servers to be a test of patience: some of them reserve slots, so although they appear to have vacancies, you get booted.  And then the server list has to refresh.  Then there is the 101 ways of dying before getting into battle.  So dial up your patience-settings, set some time aside and give it a go.
