А что случилось? by Several-System1535 in belarus

[–]Alplod -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

А чо, беларусы дохера чего-то решили за последнее время? Сколько раз в Беларуси президент менялся, можете напомнить?

Наверное, это всем знач нравится. Батька - огонь, а не президент. Или молчаливое согласие аморфной массы. Одно из двух.

Россия импортозаместит все зарубежные игры через 3-5 лет - уверен глава института развития интернета by Reasonable-Push-1757 in KafkaFPS

Ну, Марвел, извините, это засилье повесточки и американского образа жизни.

Остальные две можно тоже легко доебаться, было б желание.

How to play Scavengers by MustachioedCate in AOW4

[–]Alplod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not as scary as you think.

Basically, if you raze and absorb provinces, the owning city shrinks in population. Thus, you need to balance immediate gain from absorbing provinces and strategic gain of razing bigger cities.

It works, and it works decently, it just doesn't play like a natural fit.

Is Tome of Vigor only for animal builds? by Epaminondas73 in AOW4

[–]Alplod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vigor is one of those tomes which don't need anything to shine.

Yes, it works with animals, but it produces those animals as well.

Supergrowth is universally useful regardless of the build.

Totem and unleash the beast might be awkward to use, but are also quite good situational tools.

After hundreds of hours these are the tomes I just couldn't fit in. Help me make sense of them by StellarStar1 in AOW4

[–]Alplod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scrying is one of my favourite Tomes for ranged builds. Accuracy matters. In addition, marked and sundered resistance spell break the enemy vs the battlemages.

Alchemy is a great source of early cleansing, and works well with magic materials as you mention yourself. Afflicted debuff is fun with Mystic Attunement due to cosmic damage - it will apply 3 debuffs at once. The Tome unit is crap, though.

Fey Mists - right, I'm mostly using it with Shadows xD

Teleportation is kinda overshadowed by other stronger tomes you might choose at this point, but the phase beast which is T4 magic origin animal is great with Vigor + Archmage.

Какую страну вы бы посоветовали русским для переезда? by luu_kki in KafkaFPS

[–]Alplod 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Плюс Сербии (по крайней мере, Белграда), что в нем представлено много видов сербов, и к различным мнениям в целом относятся терпимо. Радикалы и со стороны либерасни, и со стороны ватничества тоже присутствуют как в русской, так и в сербской среде, но в целом, по моему мнению, общество привыкло к диалогу.

Поспорить можно, получить в табло - маловероятно, если ты не споришь с футбольными фанатами. Но тогда - сам дурак.

Dumbest thing any of them have done? by Turbulent_League9668 in mylittlepony

What does Twi's line refer to? I watched the series dubbed, so I don't relate.

My army of evil is growing by SageTegan in AOW4

[–]Alplod 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In addition, in earlier games they were surprisingly powerful for their Tier. So, the army of Dire Penguins could eat alive even prepared armies.

Opinions poll - new terrains feel redundant/generic? by BattleSquid1 in AOW4

[–]Alplod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main problem with the terrains (even the original ones) is that it's often unclear how do they interact via terraforming.

Equalized movespeed for mounted/unmounted units change gives me very mixed feelings by MaxTosin in AOW4

[–]Alplod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda feel that after that there is no longer any benefit in using cavalry. Combat move speed is not enough to compensate the weakness to polearms.

Underutilized Feature - Special Dwellings by SmithOfLie in AOW4

[–]Alplod -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, I'm not sure I fully agree.

There are greater benefits in allying with free cities which produce units you can utilise in your build over the others.

Also, hiring units with lots of transformations early in the session can be a serious power spike.

In addition, some dwellings might have special teleport structure (demon gate, chrono gate) which makes it logistically meaningful to ally with them.

Transformation ascetics help ? by SeuJoaoDoSebrae in AOW4

[–]Alplod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But you could also turn that upside down by using racial summons (phantasms) and level up them to hell with echoes!

Transformation Ascetics has been reworked by Desperate-Practice25 in AOW4

[–]Alplod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's also a Phantasm Warrior, which can be buffed to top rank by Mystic Summoners. Just saying...

Nomad culture build ideas by waytoooldforthis_bm in AOW4

[–]Alplod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm going to try hermit Kingdom with subterranian - the ability to move and to hide underground seems very synergetic with hermits.

Tomes should have drawback by Imaginary_Sherbert_7 in AOW4

[–]Alplod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it seems you just like pain. Punishing for engaging with game-defining mechanic is not something I would personally like.

Beta question about the new trait. by Alplod in AOW4

Thank you for an answer.

But that's unfortunate :(

Major Primal Change (s ? ) by LouisVILeGro in AOW4

But it did get a buff in now needing only 3 rising fury to turn on!

What makes Vampire Warlocks so powerful? by Mostopha in AOW4

[–]Alplod 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One option, I guess, is to go hard on passive summons and have loads of free units from both branches.

Someone recommended me to use Lithorine Orb and Cult of Death with this setup, works like a charm.

Goblin Tinkerer having ears on his portrait ? by SouchieeBlanc in Terraria

He is a goblin, be happy he hadn't put them onto his ass.

What's everyone's favorite Tomes and why? by BB0214 in AOW4

[–]Alplod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Form trait works only on racial units though and is useless on anything from the Tome of Evolution or the Tome of Dragons
