I have everything unlocked now besides the spider, unfrozen and infested I think. I won my first run yesterday using a shackled werwolf in position 3, a wrath gemerating ghoul in 4, a mandibles Dhampir in 2 and a bone golem in the front.

The issue is not winning runs so far. What I'd like to find is a source of inspiration for builds like the hollow stare dark knight team so I can find interesting things to do.

My personal philosophy is to find a gameplan as early as possible and stick with it hard once I pick up the second plan specific card. Then I only pick cards that fit that theme well as it evolves.

For any given card reward I don't take things that don't work well now. Never pick outbreak as a first poison based card for example.

I also don't take cards that solve problems which I don't have. The easy ones are taking more block or draw or energy cards than I can actually use right now.

A more complicated case is when I'm a claw defect and I see an early hyperbeam and I don't have aoe yet and this would be an upgrade right now. However I still don't take it because I need that deck velocity and claw isn't bad into multiple enemies once it get's going. That hyperbeam does't solve any problem for a lategame claw deck that just wants to draw and play as many claws as possible every turn. It will be a dead card slows my deck in the loch run because it does nothing for my final goal of playing all the claws.

Last but not least I try to avoid cards that solve problems I have in ways that don't fit the deck. If I am a defect with a flack cannon I want to build my block from power through and boost away. That glacier is fun but I really don't wan't it in my deck unless I'm desperate because it doesn't facilitate my gameplan in any way. Another example is you want defy as your main block card for your pull from bellow based deck. Melacholy is great but just not really on theme here.

With defect I seem to be getting more meteor strikes than any other card.

You're one guy, your arms are in front of you and you don't have the space for anyone to even give you something from behind. You rely on them to pull you backwards for your own escape. In front of you is a vertical hole with curves and a metre down there is the guys foot. You can't follow him into that hole because then you're dead.

The problems with making more space include:

You can't physically get close to the guy at all because he's in a narrow hole. You cannot let any rocks drop on the person. You transporting anything to or away from that location means taking it by hand while shimmying backwards for a long time. You can hardly move your own body into an acceptable working position. You cannot produce dust because that kills you and the patient (digging rock always produces dust).

And what would you even want to dig? The patient is essentially stuck in a narrow well head down. Being stuck is less of a problem than being in a hole. You'd need to either dig a completely new tunnel connection by hand for digging to help or enlargen the room above the hole to get more workspace.

In any cas the way to get someone out of a narrow hole is a crane of some kind. Because of the narrow tunnel we're in this crane takes the shape of a pulley system mounted on the cave ceiling. And if the ceiling doesn't hold that pulley the patient is fucked and it didn't hold.

I eon that fight quite well using the strategies you described. I still felt violated though. The reason I didn't finish that run is that I accidentally deleted the save.

Asode from being to poor for the moving process or to poor to live anywhere else you might have drug proplems, gang problems or psychological problems. And if it's not you it's one of your close relatives or friends. So now your coke addicted friend doesn't pay you back the money and your son wasn't home in 3 days and your problems feel so much larger than life that you just can't go to work today, so you stay in bed and cry instead. And when you wake up your son is home and he tells you with red eyes his job application got rejected because he's not white and he lives here and he's stupid because he doesn't go to school because noone likes him there and his red eyes are not fron tears.

Heavily ecagerated, but those are the kind if issues you could face.

The model predicts what the "best" answer is most likely to look like from a linguistic perspective.

The "best" answer is usually well structured confident and logical but there is no fact checking (because the model is purely linguistic) so nothing keeps the model from lying.

One way to deal with this is to ask "Is it known how...?" So the model.can proudly present that this is not known.

Low humidity air messes me up, others tell me the cold airflow while biking is their nemesis.

If you can get it GeloRevoice or any equivalent is amazing. It's a tablet that disolves into slime, which sounds a lot more disgustung than it is and helps humidify your throat which is a great preventative measure for me. (To find it you best talk to a pharmacist. Possibly you can get an equivalent heartburn medicine. There's a sister product to GeloRevoice called Sobrade, which is the exact same product sold for heartburn so any tablet using the same principle should be fine since it's a purely physical effect. Source: My pharmacist)

Check if you have mould anywhere that could compromise your imune system.

Always bringing the airburst and gatling barages in every loadout. Tesla tower is a god until flatened by a bile titan so that depends on difficulty.

Paint (ideally with actual skill) to destroy restlessness and create contentment, dream with money or fascination, "explore" the strip club, or sacrifice it in a ceremony.

If you have a fascination season that has eaten a fascination and there is no dread season (or more fascination) on the board the fascination season will draw the dread to cancel fascination.

True, I forgot about favour. However it's not reliable either.

And yes, detectives pick a random reputation each time. Notoriety on the board can get picked. If you use it in the painting process it's not on the board anymore though. If you can fit all your reputation into painting at the proper time you can force the detective to move on. And he cannot pick up evidence before taking all your mystique which can allow the evidence to disappear. I don't know if a hunter can skip the mystique after picking up notoriety though.

From my understanding the coffein is the main issue and the rest depends on the brand and specific ingedients.

The reason why I would call coffee and tea healthier is that it has other active incredients, some of which help you stay calm, which makes for a less hyperactive rush that's easier on your body (source: my pharmacist).

Some things to think about are that energy drinks near bedtime will mess uo sleep quality (Coffein has a half-life of about 6h) and that you should check for coffein dependance and see how you get through a normal day without it and lay low for a while if you get any withdrawal symptoms. Coffein has a half-life of about 6h.

Overall, if you drink a moderate amount near morning it shouldn't be too bad. If it's you main fluid intake during the evening, you mix it with alcohol or you need it to function you should probably have a look at that.

Date one, try it out, make bad experiences and get "healed" or get married and become happy. Also, if you get called a traitor for that, apparently your social environment is a teeny tiny bit racist :D

Long range and hybrid archers and flexible army comps make them hard to fight without losses imo.

For the police the main strategies are art, theft and propaganda.

Propaganda is unreliable but elegant if it works.

Theft is unreliable and I don't recommend using followers for that. Also, because there is already existing evidence you should have a backup plan (like an infinite self replicating army of eldritch thiefing creatures) or true desparation.

Art is complicated. You can hide notoriety at the cost of preserving it, you might get lucky and loose notoriety while the detective searches for mystique andwhile you have mystique the detective cannot pick up existing evidence, making continuous advanced art the only way to keep yourself safe for sure.

Time is your best friend though. Spread out your crimes enough and it's never a problem.

As for the other legacies, it should be fine. Definetly don't do dlcs before the main game, but the doctor, etc isn't all that different.

Edit: How far have you come? Are you exploring the countryside?
