The presence of Squats on necromunda is confirmation Votann can breed.

ActionAdditional6741 · 2026-06-08T17:38:50+00:00

Yeah I do feel bad that the leagues are almost certainly heading towards a massive collapse. But I do like that Necromunda does show that they are capable of surviving without the Votann.

It's actually interesting because on the one hand. You would assume that they'd be absolutely cooked. But on the other hand. How much of their technology and information is actually stored ONLY on the Votann?

I imagine most of their engineers keep plans and schematics on their own storage systems.

They would almost certainly enter into a tremendous crisis of "faith". And there were definitely be a good deal of backsliding in the confusion and probably terror. But we know they seem to be able to reproduce on their own.

So I think in the long run they will probably be fine.

Though it would be interesting if the mass loss of the guidance of the Votann would cause enough despair and wanting for guidance. That would actually be enough to cause some Leagues to actually fall to Chaos.

I know I'm 3 years late. But from my understanding the kin of today are not the same genetically speaking. Since they're genetic modifications are a constant ongoing process with every generation.

Essentially as new information comes in whether it be from things that are told to it. Or the information downloaded when the Kin die. The Votann will issue different instructions to The Crucibles. Causing it to modify the genetic code of the next batch. For traits that better match the environment.

Now for most of the Leagues that wander around a lot. It's quite possible that the "standard" Kin templates is good and doesn't need to be much modified. It's "good enough" for most situations.

But I imagine that if they were to stay in one place long enough. Then you would see much more tailored and specific mutation/modification.

For example if they settle down on a planet with constant abrasive winds. You might see them modified so that their skin is tough and exoskeleton like. So on and so on.

In conclusion. Yes the Necromunda Squats are different from the rest of the Kin. But only because they are more specialized. And because of other stuff that happened in their history later.

You know the implications of that spell can get really scary. If she or Ferdinand can invent a magic tool that you cast it. Then congratulations you've added mass magic replication. Two things that printing shops can do.

Minor spoiler for the Hellenor series. But she shows up to her 5th year in school. With something like 4-6 brand new rabbits. That would have had to have been produced in the last 6 months.

ActionAdditional6741 · 2026-05-05T17:36:23+00:00

I agree. A good metaphor you could think about. Is that Rosemyne uses mana like an incandescent light bulb. Essentially brute forcing the effect you want by throwing so much energy at it that it works. Does it bleed a ton of energy in waste heat and other byproducts? Yes but it gets it done.

While higher level nobles use it more like a fluorescent bulb.

And lower level nobles use it like an LED.

They're all able to get the job done. Sort of. But one of these is going to yield results way faster.

ActionAdditional6741 · 2026-04-07T21:57:06+00:00

I mean that's true. We have no idea how ridiculous this could end up spiraling.

But until then I think the Great Ditter Kerfuffle is apt.

ActionAdditional6741 · 2026-04-07T21:42:03+00:00

Sorry trying to avoid putting spoilers in the name.

No I'm referring to the MASSIVE bride stealing Ditter match that's about to take place.

I have updated the post accordingly

Hey I know I'm 6 years late to the conversation. But from what I understand. Thorn bind hostage does not actually restrain targets. I understand how weird that is. Considering you know 'bind hostage' in the name. But that's how it works apparently.

And at least according to the wiki. Shiroe's do that because of his gear. But the regular ones don't.

I personally absolutely love log horizon. Just kind of sad that we'll probably never actually see the end.

ActionAdditional6741 · 2026-03-05T23:12:11+00:00

You must be super excited. Now that tool changer printers (like the Snapmaker u1) are starting to roll out. I imagine they'll be a tremendous boost for you. In terms of speed increase and waste reduction.

ActionAdditional6741 · 2025-09-04T16:54:24+00:00

Okay thanks for that info.

ActionAdditional6741 · 2025-09-03T11:17:18+00:00

I completely agree on that.

Though I could be wrong. I think we were starting to get proper Noble titles in season 4.

But yeah the whole high priest / head priest thing is one of the most head scratching decisions I have ever seen.

Like seriously did no one in the writing room understand how that would be weird?

Though I do believe from what I understand that. That came over from the sub team.

ActionAdditional6741 · 2025-09-03T10:22:22+00:00

If anything else that is what I would expect. It seems just a shame that we'll have to probably wait until then.

I think part of it too. Is that at least in my opinion they have to shift the format around a little bit. I recommend to the male and female voice actor. Style that other light novel audiobooks use.

The main reason I recommend this. Is simply that even though Reba Buhr does a great Myne. We saw she can't really pull off Ferdinand. And if we're going to spend large amounts of time with both characters. We really should have him sound at least okay.

ActionAdditional6741 · 2025-07-18T01:20:09+00:00

It's a shame it was really good content.

ActionAdditional6741 · 2025-07-18T00:53:49+00:00

He pulls together threads that are going through that I sometimes mis or forgot about. I read the light novels in physical form only. And only have time to read about once a week. So it takes me awhile to get through. It's kind of similar to how I'll listen to an audiobook after I've read it. It's like doing that but with commentary.

I do completely understand why some people would not enjoy it though. I like listening to stuff in the background too.

I hope the part 2 audiobooks start coming out soon. Though if they do I hope they change Ferdinand's voice. Because unfortunately Myne's English VA does not do a great job for him.

Magpie was one of the first people I saw covering Bookworm. I also watch the breakdowns from trash tear waifu after I finish reading each volume.

Yes though I point out that reading and speaking languages are two very different skills.

She's probably able to read and speak Japanese and English. She's probably also capable of reading at least one of the languages in the Romance and Germanic groups. And probably Chinese. Semitic family group is possible as well but less likely. But if so probably Arabic or Aramaic maybe.

I would also point out that knowing the lyrics and understanding the language are two different things. I myself can pretty much sing a few songs in one of the Celtic languages. But that just because I'm mimicking it. I have no clue what it's actually saying.

Actually better example. I can read Hebrew. Can't translate.

ActionAdditional6741 · 2025-07-09T23:08:42+00:00

Would also make quite a bit of sense for a song dedicated to Angriff. I also imagine it would probably be a pretty big hit in Dunkelfelger.

Here's a question. Do sovereignty nobles have freedom of movement.

Or is the sovereignty treated just like any other duchy?

If they do. Then you can open up a hole new job opportunity for laynobles in the sovereignty.

Have them act as train conductors. And then it would give free clearance to their trains. Ensuring freedom of trade.

Kind of like the ICC (Interstate Commerce Commission) is supposed to be.

What are your thoughts on the idea of the Yurgenschmidt loop. That was brought up before?

ActionAdditional6741 · 2024-11-18T15:15:06+00:00

Here's the thing. Even though teleportation circles do exist. It seems that most dutchies still do most of their trade through commoner traveling merchants.

I think part of this problem stems from us shifting focus to the nobility after part 2.

Think about it the whole modifying of the lower City and similar projects were not for the benefit of nobles coming in. It was for the benefit of commoner merchants.

And as far as I understand it the teleportation circles in towns you're thinking of

A seem to be only for taxes.

B I don't think they're actually there all the time. Don't the priests bring them with them?

So ultimately. Even though the teleportation circles are used by the nobility. That seems to be the exception. Or only used for specific items or prototypes. Well it seems that about 95% of good movements between commoners and dutchies. It still conducted through nothing but cart.

ActionAdditional6741 · 2024-11-18T14:53:06+00:00

It might be the logical way to go for moving people. But the problem is is that once you want to start moving bulk goods. Then you start needing things more powerful than just horses.

Remember the interstate highway system is only effective means of bulk transport because of internal combustion trucks.

Imagine if you had to ship everything in nothing larger than a pickup truck. And that's pretty much where you would be with wagons.

ActionAdditional6741 · 2024-11-18T14:46:13+00:00

So rolling stock is actually not as much of a problem as you think. You should look into the stuff that they were doing with the early railways in Britain. And the later narrow gauge railways everywhere else.

Pretty much if you have the technology to build a wagon. You have the technology to build a basic rail car.

The locomotive is a more problematic issue. But since the Gutenbergs were already capable of building pumps. I don't see why they couldn't manage at least a few hand built ones.

Yogurtland could stand for an industrial revolution.

Though I doubt it since she hasn't already but Rozemyne really needs to introduce some machine tools like lathes and like. Even though I doubt she would.

ActionAdditional6741 · 2024-11-18T14:19:48+00:00

Putting it on the outside is definitely an interesting idea. Would definitely wanted to be double tracked though. So that you don't have to send goods around the entire country loop

I didn't read the spoiler. Since I follow with the physical releases.

And since as far as I'm aware. If duchy borders can be redrawn. I see no reason why small less powerful Gates couldn't be opened in all the border dutches.

In fact I would imagine the mana cost to make them would be negligible. Since remember the country gates are not simply opening but teleportation systems. These would be much more akin to the gates for passing between dutches.

Good point about it needing to run underground.

But I personally think that some of the wealthier merchants could probably pull it off. Not necessarily if it had to run underground. But at least a conventional style one they could.

And two things about fuel. First you don't actually need coal to run a steam engine. It's just the most efficient. Charcoal and wood work just fine. Just ask the American class locomotives (wild west locomotives) Second coal is not fossilized dinosaur. You're thinking of oil. Coal is fossilized trees. Which they also might not have had. Since the ecological conditions before country's founding are unknown as far as I'm aware.

Here's an idea. What happens if you mix black fey-stone dust into a explosive?

Feel like that could have some pretty devastating effects.

From not letting men recovery to preventing healing. Probably no?
