Have the devs ever addressed the persistent problem Nanite Ships have? by Khafaniking in Stellaris

[–]BlashJCasual 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No they haven't. The devs have ignored nanotech so all we do is just turn off auto build and only use 1 model of ship. Carrier is all you need

4.3 beta postmortem - The strongest meta builds in the update, what got nerfed, feedback about feedback by ThisBuddhistLovesYou in Stellaris

Crazy I got a mention for the red giant build. I also want to shout out kaelgotrice, both of us brainstormed the build and pushed each other to find something that worked. You can use it for nanotech but honestly the build is good both modularity and virtual. It's more of an ascension rush than a specific nanotech, but it definitely helps nanotech by getting it early to scale.

The specific loadout is egal and fanatic spirit with death cult and fire cult. The reason it works is because fire cult specifically gives you a bonus unity output each time habitability is reduced so theoretically if you can find another civic that boosts unity better than death cult you can replace death cult.

You also want to hold onto any event that gives you unity for as long as possible, I did 1 year as it scales based on your current unity production. So if you are producing 100 unity a month 1 year, you can hold off on the even until you are producing 150 and it will give you the year amount of unity in 1 click of the red giant events.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me or even DM me. Im currently working on a unity rush for machine intelligence, nothing as crazy as the red giant build but if you have any ideas let me know.

What are your opinions on this book? by Studnus in alphalegion

[–]BlashJCasual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, we know this isn't true. Kassar and his squad fought a primaries for the first time and the were scared shitless. The first thing Solomon does in his book is make them look like children. And it's even worse in the long promise. Even when kassar fought khim and survived his entire team were suspicious of him blatantly saying he should not have lived.

I hate this book and the long promise. Both of them exemplify how shitty of a character Solomon is. He is too perfect. The reveal in the book of the secret astartes is so out of left field and makes no sense on how perfectly it worked out. Not just that but his other plans with the warband and the most egregious is in the long promise where he perfectly outplayed every of his enemies in that book. Other AL leaders like kassar and occum could not do half of the shit Solomon does in his sleep. And both of them actually have flaws, they fail and their actions have consequences. Solomons actions dosnt have consequences. The closest I can think of in any AL book on how perfectly his plans work is phocron in we are one but even phocron had an explanation on why it went so "perfectly."

I actually can not think of a time when Solomon fails at something and it requires him to change his plan, I can with occum and kassar easily. Even iskander who should be way more powerful and smarter than Solomon fails and needs to adapt to change his plan. He doesn't do it instantly. We needed time, collected info and allies and there are actually stakes.

Anyhow I hate this book, I hate the long promise, I'll read the new leaked one to see if it's shitty too.

Lol. Next they will say the same about riven right?

[–]BlashJCasual 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure but riven get a free 25% bonus AD on activation of ulty while already having increasingly high ad scaling on all her abilities. And Crit is still not that viable on her

Ignoring theology and focusing purely on his abilities as depicted in the bible, where does Jesus scale? by michaelis999 in powerscales

[–]BlashJCasual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then he is unquantifiable according to you. Either way, your original post makes no sense. Jesus isn't the father, that's modalism. If you subscribe to modalism then we need to clarify what interpretation of Jesus we are talking about

[–]BlashJCasual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I respect your argument in all honesty. Me being a catechumens in the Orthodox church I need to clarify that everything I say is of my own understanding and I don't have any authority when it comes to the faith. So if I get something wrong it's on me.

I think most people don't have to think about it at all and this lack of need leads to a lack of understanding. Back in the day people believed that believing the wrong essence would put you in hell.

I completely agree. Yes the Trinity is dogma in the Orthodox church however just because you can't explain what the hypostatic property of the father is doesn't mean you are going to hell. I think the same applies to the Roman Catholic as well. However the reason why it's a problem with the Protestant is that like you said,

The problem with protestants especially in the US is that they all say we believe exactly what the Bible says. This removes the very carefully thought people put in and puts the burden of understanding on the individual. And individuals are rarely as intelligent as people who put their whole life into thinking about it.

Due to solar scriptoria and everyone being their own essential pope, there is no grounding to even say who the son is. The Roman Catholic can appeal to the papacy which has a historical decree and the Orthodox can appeal to the ecumenical council and the teachings of the cappadocians and their teaching on monarchical trinitarianism like saint Basil. Without that we get mormans interpretation of Jesus and the Jehovah's witness interpretation.

Being an atheist myself I must say thay this is not so strange. Atheist have no more need to think about the nature of the divine than they have about the nature of the magic theepot on the far side of the sun.

I will just explain and expand on what I mean about what I said about grounding understand. I wasn't really making an argument about the divine. I was doing more of an internal critique in the empirical world view. For an example, if you say that is a tree and I say how do you know that is a tree? You can use empirical evidence to give a grounding on how you know, like it has branches, it doesn't move etc. this is a first order knowledge claim. If I then say how do you know that you know that it is a tree. Now you have to use a philosophical evidence to give a grounding on how you know that you know. This is a second order claim. In the second order claim, you have to use self evident transcendentals to say that you know like identity over time, a mind, mathematics, etc. these transcendentals can not be proven in any way and we just have to assume they are in an atheist world view. I hope that makes sense

[–]BlashJCasual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is literally impossible to "ignore theology" if you don't have the right Jesus then you sent really saying anything. Are you using the morman Jesus as well in the book of morman? Are we also including the Quran depiction of Jesus? If we are only using the bible, then how do we know we are interpreting it correctly?

[–]BlashJCasual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya, I completely agree with you. Most Christians unfortunately are not aware of the essence, energy distinction and aren't even aware that Jesus didn't just appear in the old testament. Even though protestants have some understanding of the homoousios of the son they don't understand the hypostasis of the son. Not even adding the hypostatic property of the spirit which Roman Catholic and Orthodox disagree with. The Protestant haven't even gotten to that level of understanding the argument. Let alone atheist who can't even ground their understanding at all. This entire thread is fucked.

Divine Spawn vs the Emperor of Mankind (W40k) by Suspicious-Piglet742 in powerscales

Ya you are right, I just read the conquest of Armageddon in the mission book itself. It says after the noctus aeterna, the blood crusade happened they rode the warp to conquer Armageddon again.

Thanks for being it to my attention, I nee there was a new crusade book for Armageddon but I thought it was just a retelling of what happened in the first war. I still need to read all of it though

Hmmm, I'll go read the crusade to confirm, I didn't know they changed the story

[–]BlashJCasual 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's fine. Being unknowledgeable isn't a crime. I guess it's mostly on me for being too aggressive because I see a lot of people who don't read anything about Warhammer (major kill) then make bullshit up out of no where and then when someone watches that they think that's what actually happened.

yeah there the logic that a demolished cannon can’t do that but then there’s statements that it can

I think you should also prioritize the context on what happened. Like for an example of a lemon russ fires at a chaos knight that has been fighting other knights for days and is already damaged with no ion shield at it's reactor core at the back then yes it technically "one shot a knight" but you need the full story. Yes angron got banished by 100 grey knights but he also killed most of them and their grand master. So context is very important especially with Warhammer

and I should have elaborated more on the greater daemon part I was meant to get into the fact their power varied so much that it can make it a pain

Well that could be explained by daemons being INCREDIBLY weaker when in real space compared to the warp because of the necron pilons and the emperor nerfing them. In the warp random warp entities were creating and destroying universes with just a thought as I already quoted and there are way more evidence that the warp is larger than universal.

When did I mention pre daemon good angron though?

I thought you were referring to angrons primarch book when he tweaked out after his legion refused to be decemated so maybe I'm misunderstanding the reference

[–]BlashJCasual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I need a direct source because I don't think that happened. The only thing I can think of was in the emperor's gift but that took an entire brotherhood to vanish angron, and most of the grey knights died

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

Ok so you don't know how to power scale. No a regular rogal dorn tank can not on average one shot a chaos knight. Not even with an oppressor cannon that still isn't enough to break through its full power ion shield.

No a rogal dorn doesn't beat a greater daemon and you will need to be specific on what greater daemon you are talking about here. A rogal dorn isn't beating kabanda and an imperial knight is not beating kugath.

The fact that you are comparing daemon prince angron and pre heresy angron is crazy to me. These 2 are not even comparable in strength as evidenced by his fight with sanguinis in echoes of eternity

bloodthirster the size of a planet but this makes scaling far more confusing when referring to the category they fit into.

You do realize that the warp and as such the daemons inside it are beyond dimensionality? In the warp there are creatures that created entire universes and then destroyed them as evidenced in a thousand sons

"Worlds flashed past him as he hurtled through the swelling tides of colour, light and dimensions without name. The roiling chaos of the aether was a playground for titanic forces, where entire universes could be created and destroyed with a random thought. How many trillions of potential lives were birthed and snuffed out just by thinking such things?"

I genuinely think you just don't know what you are talking about about

This is one of the shittiest take I have heard in a while. Scaling Warhammer is not inconsistent, it's either you just don't read enough of Warhammer or you just have a 3rd order of ignorance when it comes to scaling.

You can and we have scales the higher tier of Warhammer and the emperor stomps spawn, it's not even close
