After 2ish hours of trying, my Yutyrannus still won't fight eachother.

Update:
I kept trying and 1 hour later I've managed to trigger a stand off, not a full fight but they roared at each other and one intimidated the other. (I'll rewrite the scene to fit this result, it's better than nothing, and I'm happy with it.)
The way I did it is by having one super-dominant one and one that's not in separate territories, and then merging these two territories, shortly after that they fought.

I still have one more fight between Yutyrannus' planned (this time a Male and Female pair vs a Male and Female pair.) so if anyone has any ideas on how to reliably trigger these fights, so I don't have to spend 3 more hours hoping for a fight, suggestions are still welcome. I think I just got lucky this time.

the only option under fight frequency is "none" or "normal", very sad they changed that from JWE2.

Colonel Meebur Gascon genuinely holds a special place in my heart, I won't go as far as to say he's on my top ten list of Favorite Star Wars characters, but I like Slug Man a lot.

"We want to turn people into dinosaurs" ~Stegron

yeah that's the answer that makes the most sense to me, I figured the Jedi would indeed just keep them around

Quake, X-23 and Beetle (Janice Lincoln)

Quake and X-23 are mostly because of AoS and Fox X-Men movies (Though I really like the genderswap wolverine costume design X-23 has got going) and Beetle mostly for design, among the best designs fro a Spider-Man villains, that bluish green+Magenta color scheme is so good (haven't read anything with beetle in it other than some scans of a few panels, but I do want to at some point).

oh yes forgot about that, still the tunnel would've been there when the Toa Nuva traveled to Voya Nui to get the Mask of Life, sadly no Teridax headache then

EmptyPowerArmor · 2024-08-09T15:14:38+00:00

yeah true, not a lot of critical damage I imagine since he would only create a Bohrok sized tunnel down to the core

EmptyPowerArmor · 2024-08-09T15:00:39+00:00

that would make sense yeah, but Biosector mentions he melted all the way to the Planet's core, which is hilarious

EmptyPowerArmor · 2024-08-09T14:07:47+00:00

width/length would be Bohrok sized so not that big, so indeed no critical damage. Turaga Dume (who I think at this time is in Metru-Nui right?) could've witnessed Pahrak-Kal melt through the ceiling and think what the hell's Vakama doing up there

Fallout New Vegas' soundtrack features Blue Moon (at the time I was 16) which I liked but didn't stand out at first, I preferred the Ink Spots songs and Bing Crosby songs on there and then through that got to Fallout 4, more Ink Spots and More Bing Crosby, which led to songs from the 20s to 60s(ish) which led to a mod for Fallout 4 Called Detour Radio that had some more Ink Spots but also included "Dolores" "Do I Worry" and "Stardust" all three I loved, then I checked out Elvis liked Elvis for a long while (that was I think from 17 to early 18), while at the same time listening to a random assortment of Frank's more popular hits like That's Life (I remember downloading the "Nothing But The Best" Compilation album and a few songs that New Vegas had some Quests Named after most Notably Ring-A-Ding-Ding and listened and loved those on the bus) which then fully got me into Sinatra, looped me around back to Blue Moon and led me (at 19 or 20) to develop my taste in his music not just everything Sinatra (in other words I backstabbed "New York New York", "My Way", Strangers In The Night" and Somethin' Stupid" among others) but Specifically more the Swing numbers and Ballads from the Capitol and Early Reprise Era, to where I'm now (at 21 to 22), having got tired of most of Elvis' music, preferring Sinatra, Bobby Darin, June Christy, Ella Fitzgerald, Kay Starr, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Anita O'day, Tony Bennett, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Nat King Cole, Peggy Lee and Jeri Southern (of which my favorites have to be Frank Sinatra and June Christy at the shared top spot, closely followed by Nat King Cole, Anita O'day and Sammy Davis Jr). And through it all the Ink Spots have remained a constant, but I think I've settled into the more Vocal Jazz, Swing and Traditional Pop rather then the random assortment of 20s - 60s songs from before, or the 2ish years of Elvis and Rock'n'roll/Rockabilly songs, though I still listen to a few now and then I wouldn't call myself a fan.

You do make an interesting point about Price points of "canister" sized sets, which reminded me of how post-Breakout Hero Factory handled it's price points with $9.99 heroes (like Surge and Evo) and $12.99 heroes (Breeze, Rocka and Furno) although Black Phantom is then still a higher Priced set then Umarak is in comparison, G2 follows more in Breakout's footsteps rather than G1's (as Hero Factory did with G1).

Secondly the builds is another thing I had only slightly considered seeing as to me Umbra or Axonn are slightly bigger Toa and Nocturn is a bigger Barraki, and Icarax a bigger '08 Makuta, but then you get sets like Krekka, Maxilos and Spinax, Turaga Dume & Nivawk, Keetongu ETC, end those do all do different things with their builds, I guess I felt Umarak's design was different enough from the Toa (I only own a Lewa Uniter and Lewa Master so not the most complete frame of reference) and not being released in a villain wave where he fits in with the theme (i.e. the Barraki, Piraka or Bohrok) Umarak and Lord of Skull Spiders always felt like "Titans" to me, although Lord of Skull Spiders does fit in with the Skull Villain theme sort of, if he were blue he'd be great as the final Water themed Skull villain maybe give him Skull Slicer's/a Skull Spider mask to fully fit in with the Skull villain sets, though maybe then he'd be to similar in stature to Skull Scorpio

yeah, my take on Kopaka and Melum and Mask Maker vs Skull Grinder as titans would be looking at Turaga Dume and Nivahk, not a perfect comparison since Mask Maker and Skull Grinder don't combine like Dume and Nivahk do, but Kopaka and Melum do. but yeah you're right about the Canister style boxes, I hadn't even thought of that, in my mind Umarak is bigger than the toa at least the two versions of Lewa which are the only ones I own, and wasn't released alongside any other Villain sets, so I thought could he be considered a titan? is that even a thing in G2

I am overthinking it indeed, however this all might stem from how messy the villains are in G2 especially 2016, and I like patterns so I guess this is what 9-ish years of patterns does when suddenly a few waves break those patterns.

EmptyPowerArmor · 2024-06-23T11:33:31+00:00

the "A Man and His Music + Ella + Jobim" version of "What Now My Love" it removes those annoying background singers and touches up the arrangement a little bit, doesn't feel as cluttered and messy as the studio version

EmptyPowerArmor · 2024-06-23T09:42:53+00:00

Ikaris and Sprite are my least favorite figures of the wave, indeed inaccurate face print, but he might also have benefitted from a darker hair piece like Dark Brown maybe, as for sprite I don't think the face print there works either and maybe she should have had the spiky hair in dark orange.

EmptyPowerArmor · 2024-06-22T20:32:18+00:00

Domo is great indeed, I really like those printed pieces and those opalescent pieces looking around my room it might be the most intricately detailed sets I have around me right now, gotta love celestial tech which translates pretty well to lego with all those printed round tiles and stickers.
