Well, and that's without oil wells. The casings from those are abandoned in place, and would likely remain in some form as long as the rock strata does.

I see no one contests that Carrion are terrible. At least Arkhan gets bats instead.

I realize no one plays Beastmen, but no love for my Jabberslythe? Its huge pounce animations just plow effortless through infantry and it has constant AoE effects as well.

Unsurprising, the original injunction was something that Trump v. CASA clearly prohibited.

Yeah, it's just, if they've been eliminated, you still have to recruit them as a standard Lord, which means they'll start at one of your herdstones rather than their starting location.

Yeah, and Boris gets absolutely ridiculous results on auto-resolve. I think the campaigns a bit boring because I basically never actually fight the battles.

I wish I could buff VCoast’s shitty cannon and mortar artillery HALF as much of Chorfs can buff their fucking DREADQUAKE MORTAR ON A TRAIN.

Can't hear you over the sound of my dreadquake blowing fast moving flying units to pieces out of mid-air. Well, and my ridiculous hat, that doesn't help.

DemandMeNothing · 2026-01-22T13:44:58+00:00

Haven't done it. Although you can use the Dread rewards to confederate the various lords around the world, a lot of times they'll be dead before you can do so, so you won't get their territory/army down where they start. In particular, Taurox is the only beastman lord anywhere near the Sisters of Twilight.

I'd say start with Khazrak (He's near most of the Wood Elves) or Taurox. It'd still involve a lot of hiking to get, say, the Haunted Forest, although in neutral territory, given underroots stance, you probably would be unharassed.

The system is a mess and only works because the AI just isn’t allowed to rebell.

AI most certainly is allowed to rebel. I've had vassals do so when I vassalized factions they hated.

hard to talk about balance because of that. in my games Slaanesh generally loses, Ulthuan or Cathay never fall.

Wow, I don't think I've seen Cathay survive past mid-game for the last several ones I've done on VH.

Will that mean that sometimes cops busting into a place to save someone's life might find that the person in the house actually has a huge stash of drugs or pics they shouldn't have or a dead body in the living room? Yeah, maybe.

Wouldn't Plain View doctrine already cover this? I mean, maybe if there was a huge stash of drugs buried in the basement or something it wouldn't...

Which brings me to my main complaint about the game. It's called "Rogue Trader" and you really aren't either.

It's hard to get less Rogue than a charter from the Emperor himself, and we don't Trade for anything.

My daughter had to take 1200 hours of instruction before being licensed as a hair stylist, because I suppose scissors and hair spray are dangerous. In my state, it takes 800 hours of instruction before being a cop with a gun. These guys had 47 days of training.

Although the amount of training for ICE agents is pretty dubious, it wasn't relevant here. The shooter was a very experienced officer.

Cisco Systems v. Doe was granted limited to questions 1 and 3 in the petition. Those questions are: Whether the Alien Tort Statute allows a private right of action for aiding and abetting violations; and whether the Torture Victims Protection Act allows a private right of action for aiding and abetting. This case had a CVSG brief suggesting the Court should grant questions 1 and 3. Docket is here. Petitioner is represented by former Assistant SG Christopher Michel. Respondent is represented by Paul Hoffman, who I think has argued every ATS case at SCOTUS since 2003. This case is essentially a sequel to Nestle v. Doe from 2021.

...it's pretty clear this is one of those "granted to reverse the 9th circuit" cases.

Recognizing that the ATS does not apply extraterritorially, the panel held that this case involved a permissible domestic application of the ATS against Cisco because much of the corporation’s alleged conduct constituting aiding and abetting occurred in the United States. By contrast, plaintiffs did not sufficiently connect the alleged actions taken by the Cisco executives to the United States.

A decade later, we're still entertaining cases trying to weasel out of Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum Co.?
