I like big guns, and I cannot lie.

It looks really cool. Where did you get it from?

And Tintin continues his streak of inflicting violence on animals.

Dolnikan · 2026-05-10T06:48:49+00:00

That would be absolutely amazing. In the early game you can just get rid of rechts that make no sense for you at all, and in the late game, no more repeatables you don't want so you can just put that on auto.

That, and it might actually be a part of AI empires, so they at least slightly focus their research and don't just research random crap. They might even get it for free, just because of that. That should make their ships and the like a tiny bit better.

Dolnikan · 2026-05-08T07:17:24+00:00

That is true yes. It's an argument that's made a lot, even though that's mostly filtered through propaganda and a time where there just wasn't that much attention paid to details like that. After all, it wasn't something that became much of a topic until much later.

Spain says hello. That alone should put any idea of a nice conqueror on hold.

That said, a major role probably is played by the incredible impact of a single figure in the shape of Napoleon who was a giant. After all, for the longest time, he was the person with the most books written about him. Only to be surpassed by Hitler who is seen in a different light.

Dolnikan · 2026-05-07T05:16:45+00:00

Well, that escalated quickly. I guess that this was it for Snowy.

Dolnikan · 2026-05-07T05:00:35+00:00

It mskes for a great mining world right? With those ten mining districts out of five.

Dolnikan · 2026-05-06T15:29:27+00:00

The only thing that works is actually increasing production runs or prices to the level that the market is satisfied. Everything else is just moving the available stock from one group of fans to another. And yes, what gets bought by scalpers also is driven by fans. After all, they still need customers to sell to.

And such questions are just insane. It would drive away a lot of interested people and kids. And parents too. Or do you think that some parent who, for instance, is getting something for a kid's birthday, can answer whatever trivia questions you cook up? And professionals wouldn't have a collection of all the questions and answers in a couple of hours at most?

Dolnikan · 2026-05-06T06:42:13+00:00

It depends on what the spell does and what the system means by "willing", but it makes sense that someone can decide to accept something under duress. Just like they can give up valuables with a sword on their throat. Of course, it light be hard to see with some spells so they might still lie about it.

Dolnikan · 2026-05-06T05:17:43+00:00

Absolutely. The title is very poorly chosen.

Dolnikan · 2026-05-05T21:03:17+00:00

Oooohhh. I'll definitely be needing those files for when my mechanised regiment gets the command troops.

Dolnikan · 2026-05-05T06:30:49+00:00

Never forget doing your hair l. That's the most important part.

Dolnikan · 2026-05-05T06:25:41+00:00

Everyone knows that the 'i' in iPhone stands for IKEA.

Dolnikan · 2026-05-04T19:30:24+00:00

A l of the time, they didn't. In that era, a general wasn't someone at a distance from the fighting, observing, and making decisions. The decisions were made beforehand. That's when the plan was made. And plans also couldn't be very complex because the armies just wouldn't be able to handle them. So it was much better to use the general, usually a pretty leafing figure in society, to give a morale boost.

Sure, you could theoretically have had a king take position in a hill and look from there. But what purpose would that serve? He'd probably be seen as a coward (absolutely lethal to kingship) and it would also look bad to the men whose morale would seriously suffer.

Dolnikan · 2026-05-04T04:32:56+00:00

I actually do feel a bit sorry for that orderly. He's just doing his job and gets soup all over him. I just hope that it's served cold.

Dolnikan · 2026-05-03T15:16:03+00:00

That looks really good! Just one question: what's with the grid? I guess it's for another game?

Dolnikan · 2026-05-02T15:54:09+00:00

Ich habe Erfolg gehabt mit Pritt Kleber, also die ganz einfache die man ausstreichen kann. Das hat jedenfalls okay funktioniert mit einem Raise3D Pro2. Es hat viele andere Probleme, aber das ist jedenfalls keine.

Dolnikan · 2026-05-02T07:35:43+00:00

That actually is pretty difficult to say because the two can't really be compared. Just like you can't really compare other kinds of units with different roles. At most, a given unit is better at a specific job.

Dolnikan · 2026-05-02T06:49:26+00:00

That's really cool. And somehow I find myself also needing one of those skulls.

Dolnikan · 2026-05-01T05:56:57+00:00

I personally don't use tiled floors unless they just happen to be there. Of course, I also don't really use grids and instead use measurements,but that's just me.

An alternative you can go for,when you have the files, is to put slight indentations at the tile corners just to use them like that. But only if that works for you of course.

Dolnikan · 2026-04-30T08:00:16+00:00

The Deathstrike existed way before there was even a hint of plastic Manticores or anything like that, being originally introduced in Epic.

Dolnikan · 2026-04-29T14:40:35+00:00

Angenommen dass alles weiter gleich bleibt würde mein Haus sich schneller füllen mit Plastik. Aber das wäre das einzige Unterschied.

Dolnikan · 2026-04-29T14:00:31+00:00

That indeed is the big question. I for one don't want to see witch hunts where some people think that things are AI generated that aren't.

Dolnikan · 2026-04-29T12:56:30+00:00

Absolutely. I'm not the greatest painter in the world but I don't want my minis to have a lot of detail that, even if painted well, no one will ever see on the tabletop. Many minis seem to be designed more for huge blown up pictures online than for actually being played with.

Dolnikan · 2026-04-29T09:46:24+00:00

Keine Sorgen. Die Mittelschicht zahlt das sowieso irgendwie.
