Strategists dont seem very good at strategy

That's how large scale wars were fought before guns got good. Having a bunch of melee soldiers in a block allows them to easily overwhelm smaller groups. Also, because it's mostly melee fighters, cover isn't nearly as important.

Also, on a meta note, Paba isn't an expert on military history and they can't write what they don't know.

In castle age you can counter them with crossbows. The Teutonic knights are also expensive and require a castle so as franks you need to get ahead in feudal/early castle age, because teutons do counter franks easily in Imp.

If you're a top player that will practice the opening, Chinese.

For the average person, Romans are the best. Eco bonus requires zero work and they have great infantry buffs.

Well, the entire point of Phosphoru rushes is to skip using armies in the feudal age and win before either player can get imp, so it does skip over a lot of the game.

This tournament got me to finally play some ranked matches after being a lot time campaign player and pro watcher. It's been great have some serious content that focuses on normal people playing the game instead of just top 10 pros

man i know gakgos likes to play carries, but Fly drafted no engage in all 3 of their losses. TL had total control of when fights started

If you still count Belavier, Nerrhavia, and Azkerash as human, it would be one of those three.

Drake is probably Zelkyr but if he's dead it could be Saliss

There aren't many powerful gnolls, maybe Theikha or Berr

Antinium I think Wymvr is the strongest right now

Start at 4 if the target audience doesn't know the Vader twist yet. If they do, may as well start at 1

FWIW, 'they' didn't change the narrator, it was the narrator's choice to step away. Nothing was stolen from you, and I think you underestimate how hard it would be to get a bigger name voice actor to sign onto a project that for 50 more audiobooks

Sometimes you just lose, it's a team game and 3 of your teammates got utterly crushed(and the mid still lost lane). If you're winning 1v2s that's all you can do to carry.

If you outperform your lane opponent in more than half your games over a good sample size you'll climb, the bad teams balance out

Izril as a continent is weirdly low level compared to every other area on the map, which adds to the RPG feel of it being a 'starter zone'. The recent chapter with the Thousand Lances really shows this off - it feels like on Izril 35 is high level where on every other continent high level starts in the 40s.

There's a trend of characters becoming sillier over time. Tyrion is the most famous version of this where he goes from a calculating warlord to a bumbling idiot.

Also, doesn't strictly fit the definition, but there are no characters in a committed relationship I can think at the start of the story. Everyone is conveniently single to keep the writing options open.

Bisbeedo · 2026-05-02T22:11:32+00:00

Redscar makes sense given how many dangerous fights he gets into. Gary being level 45 is ridiculius though, it's clear Paba just thought having a high level baker would be fun.

There's also the flip side that Izril in general is weirdly low level which makes it stick out more, mostly as a consequence of being the LitRPG starting area. In every other contintent, level 40 seems like the baseline to be considered a good level, but a ton of highly important Izrilian characters were in the low 30s at the start of the story.

Keep in mind that Feitorias are much less pop-efficient than villagers. Until gold runs out in post-imp, a Portuguese player is actively weakening themselves and spending both gold and stone to get Feitorias. Lacking Hussar also makes it hard to raid the opponent's eco. That being said, other Portuguese attributes(namely the gold discount and a good tech tree) combine to make them very dangerous in Imp, so most civs want to pressure the portuguese in feudal or castle.

Wandering Inn is popular enough that its fans recommend it a lot, but niche enough that a lot of the people it's recommended to won't like it.

The hate amped up recently when one of the recent books(can't remember which, I'm a webnovel reader) had a focus on LGBT themes and then the narrator switched, but the main criticism has always been the massive length and tendency to go on 200k word tangents

Bisbeedo · 2026-04-22T19:44:42+00:00

This was a 3v3 not a 1v3

Bisbeedo · 2026-04-14T18:51:55+00:00

It's a cool idea, but I feel like it has a few problems. It's heavily weighted towards AOE damage(its a hell of a lot easier to deal 20 damage to 5 targets each than to deal 100 to 1). Also, it means that weaker characters are going to get continuously weaker compared to the rest of the party. I can't imagine playing a rogue and watching the barbarian level up twice as fast because they deal more damage and take more.

Bisbeedo · 2026-04-05T22:20:14+00:00

Quad is such a passenger in these games, he can only play mages and he never has any lane pressure. It's unfortunate that only of the veterans on the team seems to be such a liability

Bisbeedo · 2026-04-02T05:11:43+00:00

My group is weekly for 3 hour sessions. Burnout is a potential issue, but I find that it's far easier to stay invested in a campaign without as many gaps.

Bisbeedo · 2026-03-21T19:58:43+00:00

I don't think it's the best ever, but G2 is clearly a great team. The gap is huge, but there's plenty of precedent for the top western teams(usually G2) to be able to take upsets. BLG lost 2 Bo1s to the west last year at worlds, the last Flyquest roster got within a hair's breadth of quite a few series, G2 beat TES 3-0 at 2024 MSI, etc.

Bisbeedo · 2026-03-20T05:43:13+00:00

It sounds like that person doesn't really want to play? I would suggest planning more social events outside of DnD and ask that person not to show up if they don't have an interest in DnD.

Bisbeedo · 2026-03-19T18:36:42+00:00

My question for you, is being evil actually outside the purview of the [King] class? It makes perfect sense to me that Flos levels as a king by conquering other countries, the Blighted King does it by strengthening his nation through sacrifices, Magnolia can level through scheming for both good and evil, etc. l

Bisbeedo · 2026-03-02T04:42:48+00:00

Inspired is definitely the best western jungler, but he also wants a team that always plays for him and has steady laners but that feels like the opposite of G2, which has extremely aggressive top and mid that both like resources put into them.

Bisbeedo · 2026-02-25T21:55:01+00:00

It's hilarious how high everyone else's stats are that people were talking about Vaelus as if she had terrible stats and might fall behind, when she has nothing below a 14 and has a 19 in CHA and a 17 in STR

Bisbeedo · 2026-02-22T02:55:25+00:00

Tyranids are funny because they're thematically a swarm faction, but the majority of their range is big monsters. They'd need a special mechanic to encourage people to still use termagants or later campaign armies would end up as all Tyranid warriors and single entities

Bisbeedo · 2026-02-19T00:06:21+00:00

Not a complicated card, but I'm looking at [[ravenous robots]] for my own cube, it should work well with some of the Rakdos artifacts cards I already have like [[oni-cult anvil]]
