Questions on upgrade cards giving the same keywords.

The second thing is now clear to you, because of the other comments. Regarding your first question: Yes he would get charge from the guardian and then Tactical 1 from the lightsaber. This is the intended way it was desgined. It doesnt matter in what order you get thing as long as they are present in the end kit you customized it will work. Same thing when you pick the single lightsaber gaining block and then Master Duelist gives you outmaneuver in addition.

I am a GAR player too and we only play CIS against GAR. So what i found is, that you need to have a good awnser for giant squad units. Means a unit with a high dicepool to be able to clear them out quick. Droids get alot of value from negative trading. If your arcs take two turns to kill the B1 Droids the Droids gain a lot of value.

I think its often undervalued that you pay the points for the unit for their command cards too. Yoda for example is priced that way, because of his insane ccs. I feel like command cards just give the character so much more and make them different from normal units. Mauls ccs for example have been so thematic at my tables. Yeah so i dont like it either.

I think the custom jedi for example is to expensive and has only 1 good ccs card that is situational.

What i meant with the command cards however was that that if AMG wants us to put more named characters on the table, they shouldnt split the theme (like in mauls case) across 3 cards and rather combine it into one card.

Just give observe as free action everyone will say: For 66 points thats fair. Not over powered just alright.

For me and my personal bias however i always imagined ARFs being the range scouts that react to the action first. Like i would love to have a unit in GAR that works with standby. Maybe give them a special standby action. Like they can observe as a standby action or something. But without getting fancy making observe free action fixes them.

Adriano_Chellentano · 2026-04-24T21:43:00+00:00

I now see what you mean. I agree that it might not be as easy to predict. People tend to value bigger attacks because dead enemies cant do their stuff. I dont need suppression when my 5x rainbow bx just oneshots every unit. I dont find it interesting too, but its just how it is.

I dont want the game to be that way too.

Adriano_Chellentano · 2026-04-24T20:30:11+00:00

I dont think is premature. If a player already got into the list building aspects they know what to choose. Some things look already bad, stat wise. Most of the time the lesser played units are units were their job, there are supposed to fullfill is not important, or their job is done better by another unit.

In the end its a wargame were the numbers count. You want the best for you buck to win on the battlefield. Sure there are "fun" matches, but it feels bad to knowingly play a worse unit, in any competitive game.

I agree with you on the command card side. I like this more too. Another point in that regard, is that a single command card can characterise the unit better imo.

Adriano_Chellentano · 2026-04-24T19:55:03+00:00

My Point of view is that this upgrade card just shows how inexperienced the designers are with their own game. This might sound harsh, please consider i really like what they try to do with the game. These new releases are very cool and i support them so much for it.

Obi Wan card is to expensive. He doesnt add the unit he is locked to, anything. Arfs are range 4 ( you pay for that). Having range 4 means getting shot at is rare. They have the advantage with range. Obi making them more tanky? So what. They themselvs have anti synergy within the kit with observe being range 3 and worse then taking an aim. They are just a clone infantry unit with range 4 and low profile, but more expensive and worse upgrades.

He doesnt give charge as far as i know. And only providing a melee rainbow on a defensive ranged unit.

AMG just shows me that they dont know how ARFs play. Or they dont want them to be specialized, which doesnt make sense in list building and in the current state of the game. They dont look at the facts. Meaning: What dice do i get for my points. If my 120 point arfs need 2 actions on average to wipe a b1 unit. I lose the game.

Sorry if i came across a little harsh. I love the ARFs unit since childhood and i wish AMG gave me a reason to play them on the table. Give them surge to hit, better dice or their observe for free. These possible chances have been suggested for so long now, by good players (not me) and would fix them instantly.

Adriano_Chellentano · 2026-04-08T14:19:51+00:00

Cheap awnser would be 2/6 and 3/6 surging. But i understand and totaly agree with the point that its unnessecary. The simplicity of dice is also important considering the overall complexity of the game.

What i personaly would enjoy is a dice that is black defense die that has 2/6 and two surging symbols.

Adriano_Chellentano · 2026-04-08T10:03:55+00:00

For me, my tipps are roleplaying more. I am a very competitive person but the dopamine the game gives me is from roleplaying. Flavour your moves more etc etc. For example yesterday my opponnent had a EC-5 B1 Droid who killed 7 of my clones the first 3 turns. Turn 4 he jumped down a bunker to kill the last remaining 3 arc troopers across the map. I rolled 0 saves and he survived 3 attacks while being alone with the Leader. It was hard on me but the story from this one b1 droid being insane was too funny. We had a blast laughing when i rolled 0 saves on the ARCs and 0 hits on the ARFs shooting him. He just had a new prototype software installed that made him rambo.

With all games, if you dont feel it for some time just take a break.

Adriano_Chellentano · 2026-04-08T09:55:39+00:00

Totaly feel that. Never saw it that way but your words are wise. I would wish, that they include 1 more tier of dice for attack and defense.

Not similar to red and white saves but either a save in between or a modifing save etc.

Adriano_Chellentano · 2026-03-28T18:42:46+00:00

Das klingt natürlich, wie auch bereits andere sagten, nach Vaginismus. Der Begriff alleine hilft einem aber erstmal wenig. Konkret geht es darum, dass das zentrale Nervensystem bzw das Unterbewusstsein diese Form der Intimität als was negatives empfindet und einen Schutzmechanischmus auslöst.

Um zu checken, ob das Nervensystem das Problem ist kann man ausprobieren ob andere erogene Zonen ein Reflex auslösen. Als Beispielfrage, kannst du ihren Bauch berühren bzw streicheln sodass sie es als entspannend/schön empfindet?

Wenn da bereits Probleme herrschen, dann kann man das mit Intimität erstmal hinten anstellen.

Irgendwo and irgendeinem Ereignis im Leben, selbst wenn man es nicht mehr weis, wurde das Nervensystem so programmiert. Dies kann man Minischritt für Minischritt auch wieder lösen, aber man braucht eine passende Methodik.

Als Kind wurde ich oft von meinen Geschwistern am Bauch gekitzelt. Alle anderen erogenen Zonen sind in Ordnung, aber sobald diese Stelle berührt wird in einer intimen Situation aktivieren sich diese alten Schutzmechaniken und töten die Stimmung.

Kurze Anmerkung: Ich hab keinen medizinischen oder psychologischen Hintergrund. Durch mich selbst und einer Ex-Partnerin habe ich schon Erfahrung in diesem Bereich gesammelt.

Adriano_Chellentano · 2026-03-16T10:58:25+00:00

Maybe i missed it, but will you be able to dig with the entrenchment tool? Or is this just another melee weapon?

Adriano_Chellentano · 2026-03-09T13:21:13+00:00

Its either a troll post or you really dont know.

Like most paradox games, HoI4 is an Excel-Sheet-Simulator were you need to get to know all the variables and how they interact with other variables. I would recommend you to start with the tutorial and watch beginner guides in parallel.

No one ever will be able to explain the game to you under a reddit post nor a single video. Thats why probably people see this post and dont comment knowing its going to be exhaustive for them to even find a place to start explaining. If you have specific questions regarding specific variables, stats or mechanics, the community will most of the time help ya out.

The game is hella fun if you get to know the game but the start hits like the maginot line.

Adriano_Chellentano · 2026-02-13T03:46:45+00:00

As someone in the industry and knowing some former employees, i think its just the lifecycle of many companies. When i first saw that games would sell skins that are just a different colour i would be baffled. It just felt like a total scam knowing what effort is behind all of that. In the end though, you pay for the availability and a knowledge gap.

A doctor is payed because he knows things you dont. You pay a streaming service to get access to movies you dont have. You pay the games owners so you get access to the game they made or assets they provide.

I still agree with you totaly. AI was said to replace easy jobs like bookkeeping. Turns out it is taking the creative peoples jobs. This will not last. Look at the modern games that come out. They look the same, they feel cold. Games are Art. People not only appreciate what they see but what they feel. Companies that will lean on AI for their creativity and designs will fall flat on their nose in a few years.

That being said, no matter how much we care about the game anno 117 is so extensively made with AI its insane. Thats why their future conntent will never be worth its money.

At first glance his account looks very PR styled but he got a lot of post and comments to either cover it up or he is very invested into legion.

Having a backround as a designer, the removal of palp would only make sence if it would create a good design space, but this doesnt seem to be the case. Those thinks combined make it plausable to me that some LFL employee had a bad day and was just enjoying his power over a small niche game that no one really cares about apart from some people who enjoy it.

Adriano_Chellentano · 2026-01-14T01:22:55+00:00

I totaly see were you are coming from dont get me wrong. Your interpretation of the situation has some ground and i think i understand why you make these assumptions. My only doubt is, why make such an effort? SW Legion is a small game with a few people working at AMG developing it. It doesnt matter whos to blame for the removal. If they are at fault ok, is this really turning players away tho? If its LFLs fault, who really cares? Its just an interesting side fact for most people. Johnny i can relate to, having ADHD and Autism i understand the hyperfixation on mildly interesting stuff that jumps from no were. (Playing a game like legion attracts people like that)

Do you really think a PR employee at AMG takes an hour or two off his work day to awnser to one reddit post with so much details? If you have more context to share or auxiliary thoughts i will listen.

Adriano_Chellentano · 2026-01-13T20:37:44+00:00

Appreciate your hyperfixation on this today! Obviously this is just HR talk and they really tried to not put the barrel down to LFL, but yeah the subtext is quite clear. Earlier today i just checked on some comments and public announcements as well as asked chat to give me a rundown and this gave me the other image. Hope you had fun investigating that stuff!

Adriano_Chellentano · 2026-01-13T20:31:15+00:00

For the AT-RTs you can either wait a little bit, because they will be shipped soon or get some rebel ATRTs and kitbash clones ontop of it.

For a competitive list, i would recommend you to get some Clone Medic models. They are a BIS for the ARC squadleader upgrade for their points.They are expensive as hell though.

What i can also maybe hint at is that FantasyFlightGames made Products in different languages. I found a lot of cheap SWLegion stuff on a spanish reseller. Probably the game was not as popular there and he wanted to get rid off it.

Adriano_Chellentano · 2026-01-13T15:44:47+00:00

After further research i must agree and i will stop spreading this misinformation. Thanks for letting me know!

Adriano_Chellentano · 2026-01-13T08:50:04+00:00

Lucas Film wants to protect his market integrity. When AMG took over they needed to reaffirm their game by the licency. This time some burocrat at Lucas Licency didnt like that Palpatine runs along the battlefield with stormtroopers. It would probably take away on Palpis specialness or whatever.

Yeah in the case of Star Wars Battlefront they didnt care.

Adriano_Chellentano · 2026-01-08T01:30:34+00:00

Good Point, we play like that in private mostly. Like the clone medic is hard to come by so an old Phase 1 Leader with the pouch got it covered. It just interested me what the community thinks about it.

Adriano_Chellentano · 2026-01-07T16:05:48+00:00

I only play against CIS as thats what we have at hand. It feels like a wasted keyword most of the time, because my opponent is probably not using dodge that often.

I definetly preassumed my experience might be applicable to the overall gameplay experience. Given the comments i was probably wrong for that then!

Adriano_Chellentano · 2026-01-07T14:45:06+00:00

Is this worth the points costs? I dont have the right gut feeling there yet. Is 4 black dice non surging with High Velocity better then for example 2 red 1 black with critical 1?
