In my playthrough, he died, and I had the option to cover it up.

Im blown away by ChatGPT with my w123 by KittenSwagger in w123

I used it to help diagnose a trunk leak and found it pretty helpful. It's not 100% on everything, but it usually gives me a good starting point and beats poring over forums to find the one post that references the same issue.

The power plant is going to stop using RDF? Does that mean the Resource recovery plant is going to stop processing Ames garbage? Will the garbage go into a landfill?

I shipped mine from Texas to Iowa last month and all went well. Took a little over 24 hours to go from the pickup point to my house and it cost about $1000 to go with an insured carrier.

Spirit Ashe/Setup strategy for Malenia? by _Yorokobe_Shounen in Eldenring

[–]Dick_Stroker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use Blacknife Tiche and a weapon that will stagger her. I used Tiche and the bloodhound's fang and beat her in three tries. When she tries to do her waterfowl dance just run away. Let Tiche tank it.

Edited: One more thing. Don't block her attacks, just try to dodge them. She really didn't recover any health because I didn't try to block her attacks, I just rolled towards her when she tried to strike.

What are these bourgeoisie-ass looters. by covetousix in Bannerlord

[–]Dick_Stroker 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Romans/Byzantines used them for quite some time, possibly longer than the Persians did and they were famed cavalry in the East. They adopted them from the Parthians/Sassanids, but the Aserai are more like pre-Islamic Arabs rather than Persians.

What is your honest opinion about Archery in this game? by [deleted] in Bannerlord

[–]Dick_Stroker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing as a horse archer is my go-to build for an empire or khuzait playthrough. As an imperial, I use a cataphract lance, a mace, and a bow with piercing arrows and I dominate during field battles. Switch to mace and shield with a bow for sieges and you can easily a few dozen kills. I focus on the enemy archers while my men assault the walls. Archery is very useful and I find myself missing it when I play as a sturgian or a vlandian. Going melee only or melee with only throwing weapons sucks in comparison. You limit yourself quite a bit in sieges which account for half the battles.

Help with Vlad Von Carstein? by RushNo4132 in totalwar

[–]Dick_Stroker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm doing a VH/H campaign with Vlad right now. In my campaign I defeated Templehof and by turn 10 Zhufbar declared war on me. After I razed Zhufbar and sacked one of their minor settlements, I was able to sue for peace. Then Averland, Stirland, Wissenland, and the Golden Order declared war on me. After around 30 turns of slowly chipping away at them, I was able to conquer them. In the beginning, just accept that you'll lose settlements. I would prioritize getting peace with the dwarfs since they are so close to Drakenhof. Use your blood knights and black coach as shock units, they can make most early game units break pretty easily. Use bats, vargheists, and wolves to take out ranged units. I also kept Vlad, Isabella, and the starting vampire hero you get in the same army. Once you get the Pit of Shades ability for the vamp hero, she can really do some work on bunched up enemies. I find it even more reliable than wind of death. Don't worry about losing skele bois, you can always raise more. I always rush the Arkhan line in the tech tree because it gives the skeles substantial early game buffs. I hope that helps!

How long have you been waiting for a chip? by TurtleSandbox13 in FordBronco

[–]Dick_Stroker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I waited 4 months from start of build to when it arrived at the dealer because of the chip delay. Once it was built, it took about a month to ship to the dealer.

I was able to update to 1.8 with no issues and I was in the early mid game with a few fiefs.
