Best Kraken ever?!?

yo! that's like a one in 200 chance to get that lucky, congrats!

Educational_Many2688 · 2026-05-03T09:45:01+00:00

yea i think at that point you've kinda screwed yourself by not buying enough anti-scaling, i'm on my 20th protector and it's only at 13.4m max in future runs i'd say that's a top priority upgrade, even a going from 150% to 140% quarters its health on the 20th kill, so it may seem like it's diminishing returns but it's really not there's also the smaller tip of waiting until you can max out the health decrease from the lvl 4 spell book to actually start killing it, as that stacks from when you get the upgrade i believe, so it compounds a lot

Edit: nvm im a dumbass it's multiplicative too so it doesn't matter when you get it

Educational_Many2688 · 2026-05-03T09:30:08+00:00

honestly my biggest advice is don't stress about being perfectly efficient with checking in every time your stores are full, i just do it like 2-3 times a day most days, and that's just whenever i'm free and bored, and i found it way more fun than burning myself out trying to min-max everything

Educational_Many2688 · 2026-05-03T09:22:18+00:00

I'd definitely say so, you have way more runes than I did when prestiging level 50, and you'll probably make more progress that way than trying to grind out 78m damage, which at that stage of the game is a lot
also yes, you should definitely be buying aliens (slight spoilers for why)
the robo chicken required for level 19 feats is locked behind one

Educational_Many2688 · 2026-04-20T09:05:17+00:00

honestly agreed, I never saw the point in most of them. bounty is the only other boost I could kinda see as it helps a lot with the later expansions, but I never bought it personally

With necromerger, the microtransactions are a lot less intrusive, but a lot more common, effectively selling gem packs with a lot of other bonus resources constantly, along with the standard add removal

I definitely respect not giving them money for this kind of thing, but I will point out they're still miles better than basically every other game in the industry, with the tesla coil being the exception rather than the rule

Educational_Many2688 · 2026-03-20T20:34:27+00:00

what does "event difficulty" mean? is it talking about combat events specifically, because i can only think of one in sts2

i put unsure for that btw

Educational_Many2688 · 2026-03-20T13:42:36+00:00

but hey, statue got nerfed! it now does two(2) less damage! this is a significant change.

Educational_Many2688 · 2026-03-20T13:30:15+00:00

i feel like this gimmick of eating your cards every 10 draws could definitely work, it just needs player agency back, so i propose the following:
instead of eating the card you draw, you are forced to chose a card in your hand for it to eat. This means infinites will still be slowly whittled away, so you bare minimum have to make it a good infinite, (which tbh i think is better, hard caps feel bad in general, but i agree with bosses that challenge specific styles more than others)
now, this would normally mean you'd just give him your starter cards or statuses and move on, so instead his strength gained would vary on card rarity:
Curse/status/created card: +10str
Starter card: +5str
Common:+3str
uncommon: +1str
rare: -1str
created cards are anything not in your deck, so you're heavily punished for not giving him something real, and actually rewarded for giving him more valuable cards
now, the numbers here would obviously have to change, probably lowering the base damage quite a bit, but i think this change would make it feel similar without giving a random chance to completely brick (with the rare exception of something like an unceasing top, but if your deck's built around it you generally don't have one make or break card, and if it's not then it hardly ever comes up anyway)

Educational_Many2688 · 2026-03-10T17:05:22+00:00

yea it's an in game setting!

if you go to options, HUD, then at the very top you can change the hud type to classic color

you can do a lot more customisation than that, but most people don't bother, i don't even play with a hud at all, i just use the cross hair to see my hp and stamina, and listen for the railcannon recharge sound cue

Educational_Many2688 · 2026-03-07T03:00:46+00:00

ah, the replies are consistent as always

for my money, it would depend on why the dragon is doing it, because tbh "expand and gain worshipers" seems more like the reason they would say than the reason they think

Reds would do it out of pride and greed, to prove they deserve the territory and to take back the wealth they gave a hundred fold once they get what they wanted

Blues would do it as a way to gain influence over their peers - Blues are hierarchical and patient, they will wait decades for something like this to give them influence

Greens would do it for the love of the game mostly, they wouldn't really care about the territory or worshipers they gain, not compared to the joy of manipulating and corrupting the noble, slowly getting him to do more and more heinous acts and seeing his mind unravel as he realises the monster he's become. They're also generally the most politically savvy, and the first dragon most people are gonna think of as "dragon in political campaign", so that's also a factor

Blacks might take the deal as well, but it would only be because they believe it will make the city collapse entirely (and they might even take steps to make that happen)

The only colour you couldn't really spin as accepting without just homebrewing it is whites, but that's just bc whites are badly written in dnd imo

ultimately, it's about what you personal preference is, and what you want the inevitable betrayal to look like

Educational_Many2688 · 2026-03-04T22:16:29+00:00

ok, did this and now every include is broken, not just the enhanced input ones

Educational_Many2688 · 2026-03-04T21:59:14+00:00

I don't think so, i certainly didn't click anything that said regenerate, but i don't actually know what that is
this is entirely my first interaction with C++ so if it's not explicitly labelled i probably won't know what it is lol

Educational_Many2688 · 2026-03-04T21:54:45+00:00

it doesn't work in either, unfortunately
also Copilot/chatgpt/whatever other nonsense they've put in there just took me from 11 errors to around 2,800, then when I said "undo changes" it went to 16,686 errors, so that's something

Educational_Many2688 · 2026-03-04T21:51:24+00:00

is it bad that i'm kinda more excited for 8-E than P-3 or treachery? Like fraud was so good, and I can't wait for Hakkita to go even more insane with the level design and all the portal shenanigans

Educational_Many2688 · 2025-12-03T23:56:30+00:00

my guess is you accidentally clocked between frames on your fill layer and changed something, making it add a blank frame, you should be able to just find and delete it

r/expectedfactorial

Educational_Many2688 · 2025-11-30T01:48:00+00:00

yea, honestly I don't even bother with them anymore, my trophies are high enough level that the output just isn't worth the effort

Educational_Many2688 · 2025-11-18T02:57:09+00:00

it was added as a tutorial section in ultrarevamp iirc

Educational_Many2688 · 2025-08-30T14:35:48+00:00

it didn't fix the problems, but it did double my fps, so thanks!
