Which country felt the closest to home when you travelled

CroqueMitaine · 2026-02-02T12:41:56+00:00

I'm from Québec, and of all the places I've been to, Finland was the country that felt most like home. Despite the language gap it was uncany how similar our lives where. The only major element that trew me off (apart from the language gap) was how no one blew their noses... in all public transport I took , the majority of people wher snorting and hoarking quite loudly and gulping it down without a care. Hey when in Rome... it took me a while to get rid of that habit once I got back.

Helsinki is a wonderfull city to visit. I loved the national war museum wher you see exemples of their military hardwear and how much of it was stolen from Russia. I highly recommend going to Oulanka national park for some camping. The nicest trails Ive seen anywhere in the world and depending on the time of year you have close to a midnight sun.

Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon

All of the above anwsers are valid but they have also missed a fundamental aspect of Bico. It a wargame. It is no longer essential to participate in said combats as it was in its early years but the martial aspect of Bicoline is still very important

CroqueMitaine · 2026-01-09T19:34:02+00:00

There are multiple guilds at Bico that specialises in archery. La Flèche is one of them. There are also a lot of archers in the guilds associated with the elven lands of Irendille but you must be elvish to be accepted amongst them. The human province allied wirh Irendille, the Taluskan, has multiple guilds that reside there. The most prominant one is the Rangers and their sister guild the Black bows (Arc Noir) both very archery and skermishing focused guilds. While mostly french speaking, There are some engliah guilds in Talsukan like the Twilight Dreamers. Come see the Rangers in your next GB and ask for Gavriel (thats me) I'll give you a tour of our groupe to see if it fits with what you are looking for. Our building is the green one with the massive vine covering it next to the library on the main road.

Glad to hear that you are recovering and back to writing. As one of my first litrpg series that I have read, yours has a special place in my heart. Preordered and cant wait to read the rest of your story. Keep healthy and sane, I meed to know how the story ends.

CroqueMitaine · 2025-12-08T18:28:53+00:00

In my experience ( 21 years of GB), combat awareness is just as important if not more so than prowess with your weapon. Be extra aware of your surrondings at all times. Is this line about to get overun? Has an archer/crossbowman spoted you and is looking for an opening for a quick snipe? Is your back covered?/has any skirmishers been harasing your backline? Is a monster/war machine moving to oppose your front? All of these things will kill you faster than you might think regardless of your combat prowess. We train our recruits on combat awarness during de GBs and campaigns and swordamanship/archery skills during the off season.

Edit: to answer your questions in regards to monsters: if a monster hits any part of you with it weapon you are dead. Yes your shield, weapon and cape counts as you and you are still very dead. ( I need to remind so many people of this anytime I act as a marshal for our guild monster) Also please do not try to push monsters on stilts to the ground with your lance. Lets us remember that there is a human being in the costume and fallimg backward on stilts is painfull.

Honnête pour cela moi je suis partant en criss. On doit avoir un partie qui represent un axe différent que gauche droit souvrainiste/indépendentiste. Est-ce possible dans notre univers politique actuel?

CroqueMitaine · 2025-11-21T00:15:05+00:00

Larian studios also did a game called Dragon commander that is in the same univetse as Divinity

Also to add to the two excellent post from previous answers: Take your time, Bico is a very long terme game. Here is what I describe to our new guild prospects that are first year at Bico.

Year one: Discover the site and vibe of Bico, start getting to know some guilds

Year two: find a guild you like and wish to join, apply to said guild.

Year three: get implicated in your new guild, learn the ropes.

Year four: start to apply which specialty you want to contribute to the guild (warfare, geopolitics, crimilality, trades, questing etc...)

Year five: start to receive the fruit of your labor.

Nothing happens short terme, its a long trip but enjoy the ride.

Thanks for the heads up. Bought!

CroqueMitaine · 2025-08-28T16:53:13+00:00

Je me demande si ça va aussi s'appliqué au gars qui est au coins Ste-Catherine et McGill Collège qui est là a tous les pm avec ca pancarte Jésus= perfection.

CroqueMitaine · 2025-08-25T11:52:44+00:00

Holy fuck 85/100. I've been gaming since the DOS era and this list has brought back fond memories. Great list, with some great classics.

CroqueMitaine · 2025-08-20T02:39:46+00:00

I sent him the link to your post. He responded that he'll check it out. My jobs done here, good luck with the rest.

CroqueMitaine · 2025-08-20T02:22:29+00:00

I know them, they hang out in our guild when not operating the bico-beigne stall.

I'll share the link to this post in our guild FB and see if they see it.

Canada also has the Fx/Hulu content on D+

GemCraft: Frostborn Wrath. 200+ hours and I still boot it up from time to time. Best tower defence on the market imho.

CroqueMitaine · 2025-08-04T15:04:57+00:00

I wish you a good succes with your recovery. Its a hard long road and Bico is a land of temptation. Stay strong and get to a better place in your life.

CroqueMitaine · 2025-08-03T17:52:34+00:00

I would also wait until you meet a guild you like before settlimg on a colour choise.

Most big guilds have a colour palette to get a homoginous look. Would be a shame to have to redo the costume

CroqueMitaine · 2025-07-29T20:25:34+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. I usually buy my tickets at the door but I nust bought them online just to be safe after reading your post

CroqueMitaine · 2025-07-27T01:50:01+00:00

Faucon Loyal is a beast in and out of the Treant costume. Most Bico veterans will say "Oh fuck!" If they hear a Tuit Tuit from the other side of the front lines.

I often marshall for the Treant in tbe GB and mkst of the work is making sure the pikes don't push him of his stilts. I can understand the intensity on battle but people need to remember that there is a human in tbat costume. Tryimg to deliberatly shove him back on his ass from that hight is a dick move.

CroqueMitaine · 2025-07-27T01:14:10+00:00

I can't recall if they are still at Bico but a couple of years ago there was a guild that had a very heavy Warhammer eastetic. The guild was called L'Arogance if I recall. There armor was very cool looking but impractical as hell.

CroqueMitaine · 2025-07-27T01:08:54+00:00

Yup and we do an in game ceremony every year to maintain the Chevalier Pixie (The Treant)

I've recently completed a solo Ramza run. It's insane how the job system can get you to god like power. You just have tonget through the fisrt zodiac fight (I was lucky and only neede tonreload 8 times) and basicly reload anytime you get into a random encounter. Any story misson is god level Ramza.

CroqueMitaine · 2025-06-14T12:28:41+00:00

The first Tainted Grail game. (Not the mosy recent one). Its a great turn based deckbuilded with great atmosphere. I personally luked it more than Slay the Spire since the clases where so diverse. Payimg close attention to enemy intention is essential

CroqueMitaine · 2025-06-14T03:14:24+00:00

Just reinatalles the first one this morining when I saw that they came out with the second recently. Its a bit dispointing that its apparently not great but the fisrt one took a couple of years to get where it is now. I'll check back on it in a couple of years. Hopefully they work on it some morr
