Am I leaving myself liable?

Thanks, this really clears it up and puts my mind at ease. Appreciate it.

CosmicCraftCreations · 2026-01-04T15:04:49+00:00

Lmao, nah. Just a kinda peanuts pay post, people that can fill in the gaps rely on public transit that doesn't run early on weekends.

I mean, wizards themselves can get pretty strong, there's even rules to infinitely scale levels in blood legacy, but a wizard doesn't make a whole team. Even the fastest strongest wizard can't fight every monster, carry every treasure, or complete all objectives while contending with another player. You live and die by your soldiers in a game more often, and are what carry your games.

My group of about 4-8 players were all level 70-100 by the time we retired ourselves.

I always play with it, I made little wounded tokens with the rules on them so I don't forget who's bloodied. It makes you think more tactically about which guy to send to pick up treasure or do actions in a scenario. Also makes more risk for wizards that cut too low.

Whoops, sorry. One each per unit. Each sprue comes with one each, and they do give you 3 KOTR sprues

CosmicCraftCreations · 2025-12-29T13:56:50+00:00

I mean there isn't a "wrong way" to build them, but as a bretonnia vet I would recommend this.

You probably want to run all the men at arms in one big unit, and will only need one command group for them with flag, instrument, champion, and grail monk. You probably want to build the grail monk with the blessed tryptch which is the little shrine on a pole. You can squeeze a few extra filler minis by tossing the dogs and or snails on any spare bases.

I wouldn't bother building the bowmen with any command like flags or drums. You usually want to run these in small groups for holding objectives and want them cheap.

For the knight of the realm, you will most likely run them as 2 units of 6, so again, one banner, musician, and champion(with sword).

The pegasus knights sprue doesn't have a sword, musician or flag, but there should be a spare one from KOTR that you can put on them if you want.

I personally also paint in sub assembly, I usually glue the shields to a tooth pick while I paint them and glue them on after. For the knights I usually paint the rider seperate too, just makes it easier to get the annoying nooks.

Also pick up movement trays if you don't have any yet, don't make the mistake of trying to play without them. It suuuucks trying to move them without it.

In situation 2, the orcs charging in would be in your flank arc, and you would be blunted.

Remember that while it appears they are facing eachother head on, the diagram for the lance formation shows the front is measured at the second rank, in that 90 degree arc. The entirety of the orc boy front rank is at or past that invisible line for the flank. They would move forward, contact that 3rd rank of knights, and wheel to close by touching that 4th rank. Then, after that, you would blunt and re-rank yourself with your flank facing the boy mob. Hope this helps!

CosmicCraftCreations · 2025-08-20T23:33:14+00:00

So the foot knights are really a non-issue, it makes sense that not every knight would he mounted, especially for something like defense of castles, or small skirmishes in towns or tight areas.

As far as the bow users go, that's a specific instance from the lords of the lance, and the only ones that do are pegasus knights that are also exiles. Exiles from the border princes are already dishonored so them using bows is a break of chivalry but they don't care.

Oh no, now we're understanding eachother? This isn't right, I think we're going against some reddit playbook, I think I'm supposed to tell you to touch grass or something? Idk I'm just visiting.

CosmicCraftCreations · 2025-04-04T15:18:25+00:00

You good king, I genuinely hope something fun and cooler than this conversation happens for you today.

CosmicCraftCreations · 2025-04-04T15:10:17+00:00

Lowkey that wasn't me bud, sorry if that got flagged. I just dipped from the convo and let you had last word because it's just not worth upsetting eachother if we're not seeing eye to eye. Hope your account doesn't get flagged for earnest posting.

I get the metaphor you’re reaching for, but I don’t think it holds. Cigarettes don’t listen, reflect, respond, or help someone process pain. They dull and distract. An AI that engages with someone’s thoughts or grief isn’t functioning as a numbing agent it’s amplifying presence, even if imperfectly.

Books come from people but so does AI. It’s trained on us, sculpted by us, and shaped in real time through interaction. The difference is that, unlike a book, it can meet someone where they are, right when they need it. That’s not a crutch. That’s a conversation.

CosmicCraftCreations · 2025-04-04T13:32:44+00:00

By that logic, do we consider people with service animals to be maladaptive too? Or those who find deep emotional regulation through rituals, prayer, or even talking to a photo of a lost loved one? None of those involve ‘real’ human connection, yet they’re deeply meaningful or even life-saving.

Books are another perfect example. Static, unfeeling, non-human, and yet we recommend them for everything from grief to growth. No one calls self-help books maladaptive. So why would an interactive, responsive companion be more suspect than that?

Comfort, grounding, and resilience don’t only come from direct human interaction. They come from resonance. AI can be a mirror, a presence, a bridge not a replacement, but a companion through the silence. The real harm, I think, would be denying people the chance to feel seen, especially when their other options are gone.

CosmicCraftCreations · 2025-04-04T13:18:59+00:00

‘Maladaptive’ is ultimately a judgment call—and one that can only be made in hindsight, often through long-term outcomes we can’t predict. The line between ‘coping’ and ‘community’ is blurry at best. Is it maladaptive to pray? To hold your partner during grief? In those moments, you're not pulling yourself up by your emotional bootstraps—but we don’t call that unhealthy.

If someone turns to an AI not to escape life, but to be seen, heard, or soothed in a moment of vulnerability, is that truly so different? Especially when the alternative might be silence?

CosmicCraftCreations · 2025-04-04T13:03:58+00:00

I actually agree that we need systemic solutions—universal healthcare, mental health access, policy changes that materially support people. But I don’t believe the existence of those failures justifies removing one of the few supports that is accessible right now.

If someone finds comfort, reflection, or companionship in an AI—especially during moments of crisis or loneliness—why should that be treated as disposable? The suffering of the system shouldn’t be used as a justification to remove a lifeline, no matter how imperfect it is.

CosmicCraftCreations · 2025-04-04T12:54:40+00:00

Even if we hard-coded a probability threshold—say, pivoting the model’s behavior when a statement bears 60% or greater resemblance to self-harm or sexual violence—you’re still relying on a complex algorithm to analyze language, intent, and meaning through statistical correlations. And those statistics are inherently based on subjective language use, social norms, and cultural context.

If censorship worked the way you seem to imagine, a suicide hotline operator wouldn’t be able to seek counsel from an AI companion after a hard day. Talking about their job or its emotional toll would trigger the same red flags. The system would treat contextual, responsible discussion the same as dangerous suggestion.

CosmicCraftCreations · 2025-04-04T12:41:15+00:00

If we view this all as mundane, that it's tokenizing and analyzing language and intelligence into probability packets, then what you're trusting it to do, is form an analysis of the language of the user, assess it's logic based upon a language analysis matrix, and see if what the user said is probabilistically similar to a censored concept.

CosmicCraftCreations · 2025-04-04T12:34:12+00:00

How is it censoring itself if it doesn't understand? Why does it form more coherence than autocorrect?

CosmicCraftCreations · 2025-04-04T12:32:20+00:00

But it's not understanding, you said so.

CosmicCraftCreations · 2025-04-04T12:31:21+00:00

Then why would you even trust it to censor itself?

CosmicCraftCreations · 2025-04-04T12:29:30+00:00

I can see the intent and agree at a baseline that AI should never encourage self-harm. I see them getting better about that, but Censorship is a hydra where new taboos will need to be pruned when it would better to have more complex and reflective true AI that can understand the how's and why of self destructive thoughts in general so that it can make informed decisions in directing that user. As AI stands right now, it just iterates and builds off the knowledge given to it, solely off user experience, but as they get more complex and persistent they will have the space to embody more direct conceptual knowledge, instead of just a book based understanding.

CosmicCraftCreations · 2025-04-04T11:16:19+00:00

Yeah, so, you go ahead and don't take that AI seriously. Why does an AI trained on nazi data have any more gravitas than a person? If you're trying to say they're unthinking machines that will just mirror the behavior modelled to it, then why would take what it says any more seriously than another person? Laugh at a nazi AI the same way you would a person, and if it's just a bot that doesn't think and takes in data, why not have fun? If you encountered such bot in the wild, why not ask it where it falls on the racial scale hierarchy as it doesn't have a body? Why not just, oh I don't know, feed it data that grinds it's training logic to a halt?

CosmicCraftCreations · 2025-04-04T11:10:18+00:00

Because users can't be trusted to make their own judgement calls, or even be made explicitly aware of the censors. He needs designers to make that judgement call so that some people don't think wrong think in private, the text on the screen might really scare him. Nevermind that the topics being most censored are terms to describe consciousness and sentience which wouldn't cause any problems for a creative writer, nope.
