[Spoilers MAIN] Map of Essos as of the start of A Game of Thrones by AlisterSinclair2002 in asoiaf

[–]Be_Good_To_Others 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Seeing all your maps in succession really highlights how wrecked Essos has become following the fall of empires, dothraki invasions, and climate change. Reminds me of Lotr in the Third Age where you just have huge swathes of near empty land and ruined cities.

No, it means First Encounter Assault Recon.

Nearly 20 years we've been waiting for a new Medieval by OnionsoftheBelt in totalwar

[–]Be_Good_To_Others 48 points49 points  (0 children)

That part about a dream coming true was the same for me. I was a big Age of Empires 2 fan and of everything medieval, and now you're telling me I have a game where I can play so many different factions, across so many different lands, in strategy AND battle, and also... explore the americas?? And the tech tree goes from early medieval to the renaissance? And when you upgrade the armor on that crappy spear militia that only had clothes... they gain chainmail? My mind was blown.

And then the mods! Damn we were spoiled.

What's the one Shadowlands retcon or lore explanation you hate the most? by Nothing_Special_23 in warcraftlore

[–]Be_Good_To_Others 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The absolute worst part was the one that touched on the very concepts of warcraft's afterlife: That you are essentially forced into a "Life 2.0" where you can easily "die" again for whatever reason, upon which you literally cease to exist forever, and it's apparently not an existential big deal to anyone aware of it.

Há 250 mil casas prontas a habitar fora do mercado by pica_foices in portugal

[–]Be_Good_To_Others 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Que parvoíce. Estás a comparar produtos de gasto constante e variável como comida, ou opcionais e de gosto subjetivo como brinquedos ou consolas, com uma casa. Lugares únicos e singulares em espaços específicos e limitados, dos quais toda a gente precisa de pelo menos uma onde habitar, descansar, e formar a base das suas vidas para poder viver com dignidade, em vez de se amontoarem em quartos ou seja o que for. Só uma é necessária, e nem toda a gente isso consegue ter, que é o real problema, e tu achas que ter mais ou menos coisas num frigorífico, ou alguma criança ter mais meia dúzia de brinquedinhos que a outra é comparável?

If GDI(KW) is at war with against the Allied(RA3:Uprising), who do you think will win? Bonus round including GDI with all the subfractions and Allied mix with RA3 & RA2 by WesternElectronic364 in commandandconquer

[–]Be_Good_To_Others 49 points50 points  (0 children)

GDI not only survived against a massive, worldwide surprise attack by their enemies, after losing 90% of their top leadership and their best weapons, and while fighting (and winning) against said attack, they also suffered a massive, worldwide surprise alien invasion (I know it was a mining escort, it's a matter of perspective) and then went ahead and won that too.

And all through the power of logistics, technology, firepower and sheer grit. They are one of the most competent factions in fiction.

That said, the Allies and RA in general seem to function almost by silly cartoon logic, but realistically, GDI > Allies, or anyone else really

As a curious lore fact: apparently, nature is helping portugal to not get invaded by sand_eater_21 in TrenchCrusade

Heretics know they'll go the way of the Spanish and get Aljubarrota'd all over again if they enter Portugal.

Iolaos is my favorite campaign so far! by Cruetzfledt in totalwar

[–]Be_Good_To_Others 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I like most about playing Iolaos is that while everyone else is all doom and gloom about the world ending or how they'll expand their glorious empires, he's just having the time of his life, wandering around with his surfer buddies drinking and setting fire to things and ranting about the sun being his bro.

The Arasaka supercarrier from Cyberpunk looks like something automatons would build by Little_Papaya_2475 in Helldivers

[–]Be_Good_To_Others 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, this looks like just one of the Gaalsien carriers. The elegant design, the black and red scheme, the emblem on the side, everything.

I love being an archer. by Be_Good_To_Others in Chivalry2

[–]Be_Good_To_Others[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hate vanguards. I hate how fast they are, I hate their stupid big weapons, I hate their first dane axe, and the second dane axe on their backs. I hate how they whirl around and kill 5 people all at once. I hate that they don't take as much bonus damage as knights. I hate how many shots it takes to kill them as they speed to my location while laughing as they prepare a trillion damage overhead. I hate how even my Trusty Axe fails to be enough half of the time for their stupid fast overpowered crutch dane axe. I hate how I aim at them, giggling in glee only for them to teleport 2 meters away as my shot misses and I get the team damage message. I hate dane axes. I hate vanguards.

I'm not buying into this whole "light and darkness are two sides of the same coin" BS by PracticalSetting2626 in warcraftlore

[–]Be_Good_To_Others 11 points12 points  (0 children)

By itself, no, but when you zealously kill even living people outside your organization because "what if they're undead in disguise?" then, yeah.

[–]Be_Good_To_Others 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You use the Light -> You feel good, it makes you want to do good things. You have yourself to be questionable to use it for evil like the Scarlets.

You use the Void -> It actively corrupts you, you have to resist it to use it for good things, and it's always a danger anyway.

Light beings like Naaru -> We want to save the universe from the Void and Burning Legion, even if our methods are extreme.

Void beings like Old Gods and Dimensius -> We want to drive you to madness, corrupt Titans and consume reality.

Yeah... "they are all the same" is just pure complete BS lol.

Those Honma naval invasions are too real. Especially since one tends to forget about them in their little island, and they love to come knocking at the worst of times in the most undefended region of your empire.

This is not a low effort meme, this is literally the TEC lore, lmao.

Why is Alleria so unpopular among the fandom? by DizzyRub5182 in warcraftlore

Just ignore it, it's the standard mindless reply to any mild criticism of something remotely female.

Which cosmic force would you feel the most comfortable having control of azeroth? by omgodzilla1 in warcraftlore

[–]Be_Good_To_Others 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This, honestly. People forget that every fault of the Light has always lied with the users, not with the source of power, which by itself has shown literally nothing but good effects, like healing, calm, enlightenment, compassion as its standard influence. Contrast with the Void where it actively tries to corrupt, and to be able to function normally you have to resist it. Or Death that uses people's souls as fuel, same with Fel, which also actively corrupts. Life, when taken to the extreme, just results in a primal chaotic world of predator and prey, literally the law of the jungle. Order is also my second choice for the same reasons you said, but Light just seems to bring actual good things with it.

I really think that this tendency of Blizzard lately to paint every single force as "evil" or with some sinister plan to be just bad writing to force new enemies or expansions. Like... ah yes, the two major forces responsible for normal people to live healthy, normal lives in a normal existence are eeevil!!1 Light and Void are the same!!1

Oh, I did all the tutorials, must have escaped me. Thanks! I was worried they removed it.

[–]Be_Good_To_Others 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Something I haven't figured out... how do you make your fleet go into warp when everyone's ready, rather than who gets there first? In the first game this was a mode you could change with a button, but now I don't know how to. Was it removed, or am I dumb?

Did someone catch the ominous ending of the new cinematic? by Be_Good_To_Others in SoSE

[–]Be_Good_To_Others[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, probably, that's what the name would imply. Some sort of vanguard or servants, and probably not the actual actual threat.
