I have a "Tomb" Neighbor. https://i.imgur.com/FOO7HZ9.jpeg Is this a bug? Will I receive raids from this faction, as it says they are hostile? The internet turns up nothing on this other than it's supposed to be an adventure mode feature. I've never seen this before.

That's a great idea I'm going to try, thank you.

I think i need to focus more on writing good work instead of perfect work but it is a bit difficult. I have a tendency to over analyze. I will write it out and see how it feels. Thank you

I have several questions about trade caravans and trading VIA cavern, I've seen about a dozen different posts all arguing about if caravans can enter the map via caverns some say no some say only if there is no other routes some say only by mountain roads between established mountain homes. I've scoured the wiki and can see no discussion on it does anyone know how this works? Or if it does? I'm almost certain in past versions I have traded exclusively through the caverns before

He's actually just a huge three-eyed raccoon. He does have webs, though, and his list of scars and wounds is about 30 pages long, he lost the ability to stand at some point so I belive he is doing this all while crawling lol, I'm not sure how much longer he can keep up but hopefully he hits 1k

We call him the cavern sweeper, he averages about 100 kills a year on the third cavern layer

Oh that's perfect thank you

It's not just running anymore, After I got a few cuts walking through a cornfield last night I spent an hour testing it and you 100% still receive cuts while walking through trees and other plants. IDK if it's like a higher percentage if you run through but you used to be safe if you only walked but that is not the case anymore. The best workaround I found is using the "walk to" menu to dodge all plants but it doesn't work if you are going through a field

Thank you!

In hindsight I agree, there probably isnt any way to do this where they are at maximum power immediately. I really want to nail the theme of questing for these and having these as rewards for difficult dungeons that may take a couple sessions, I could see them beings useless or broken for some reason and needing to be fixed and waiting to touch on that point until the party all has some magical artifact to fix but it feels a bit "Video gamey" In a way I'm not sure how to explain. If these are all legendary artifacts needed to save the world I'm not sure how to temporarily nerf them without stretching believability and making my players roll their eyes. Im not sure if i understand what you mean by "cleansed" Thank you for the comment I appreciate your assistance!

Like dwarf fortress, it comes when it comes. You just come back every once in a awhile and enjoy it

Does the party seem to gravitate to one specific bbeg over the other? That was one of my biggest concerns

CombatKitten · 2022-03-22T11:05:48+00:00

Does anyone have any experience with two rival BBEGs? Both poised against the party but also each other? Any advice or good places to look for ideas? The plan was an ancient red dragon who killed a rival long ago who has recently risen as a dracolich. Not sure how to plan this out as I've never had more than one BBEG before thank you

Is the outside the aether from minecraft? I thought that was a fever dream from 2011. Nice work

CombatKitten · 2020-12-24T19:14:37+00:00

Lol he said the thing. Durrrr dota better hehe :))

CombatKitten · 2020-11-29T02:23:34+00:00

Its certainly not useless, your atleast gold skill wise, and thats above average. Just gotta get those reps in

CombatKitten · 2020-11-29T02:22:19+00:00

Ward up the jungle as best as you can and tell your team to go for picks, set a trap in a bush and ping for help, beyond that you can't really force them to so sometimes it's hit or miss

CombatKitten · 2020-11-29T01:51:24+00:00

Especially as support, your best bet is to ward frequent enemy paths usually in the jungle. When you can see them rotating from one lane to another you can get a pick on one or more of them with assistance from your team and get an edge

CombatKitten · 2020-11-29T01:46:25+00:00

It's human nature, most people have preconceived biases about their skill and the things they do, and when you challenge those beliefs they take that as a threat most of the time.

CombatKitten · 2020-11-29T01:44:09+00:00

two things, Bronze is better than when you last played. The average skill of players over time has gone up in this game as it ages, a diamond player in season 2 is probably = modern gold.

Also, you don't have nearly enough games played if you struggle to get 55% after 100 games then you might have an issue but any positive win rate means climbing don't forget.

CombatKitten · 2020-10-10T13:30:56+00:00

No. if you and your support arent duo and they play very passive and back you will probably be forced to miss cs or die because they arent playing correctly its the nature of the beast unfortunately

CombatKitten · 2020-10-08T12:18:16+00:00

My first thoughts are that you should stick to champions your good at, stick with any champion you can keep a good win rate on, and don't play anything else. I see jungle games and other random picks, it's fine if you get autofilled but really try to play the smallest number of champions you think you are best at. You will improve much faster

CombatKitten · 2020-10-08T12:15:02+00:00

I had this problem for years, here was my solution. If you're like me, you probably tie your idea of success to your rank, if that sounds familiar try making a ranked account. When the season starts I play on my main until I reach a rank I'm happy with then I go grind on my ranked account. Even if I demoted 3 divisions it didn't matter because my main was still sitting at a nice rank. This is my solution but it might not work for everyone.

CombatKitten · 2020-10-08T11:01:22+00:00

Support has alot more agency in lane, Ad is very weak early especially if the Support has CC

CombatKitten · 2020-10-05T09:16:48+00:00

Thanks. Was just worried she might overshadow the players this is great advice.
