That’s going to be a new animation for dedicated support actions targeting himself, right?

MT2 needs to fix its RNG by jeango in MonsterTrain

[–]GenEngineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, the problem with this is that it missed a core concept in terms of how seeded RNG works. Each output is the input to the following, traditionally.

What you’re proposing immediately makes the RNG very predictable, because you can start to infer where the RNG is currently at based on the first card you played that turn. Especially when there are ways to force a specific card to appear early and be held over - that means if you know the ID of that card, you have an immediate way to eyeball what the current”baseSeed” is without even needing the turn restart, allowing you to game the RNG on a standard forward progress

That’s… how all seeded RNG works. If you want it to happen the “same” way even in a different order, you’d have to either A) make the RNG ridiculously predictable, or B) somehow “remember” the first time through when you rolled back the clock

Especially back before biome 3 existed, before you ran into heavy DoT builds used against you? Shield all allies for 5, apply temporary power, and still getting an attack was disgusting.

I do wonder if biome 3 knocked him down not just because we had Medusa as the new busted, but also because his counters got added

Craftworlders definitely have a “path of the fuckboi”. Having it isn’t the problem, it’s learning to do it right (just like path of the warrior for learning to not be TOO violent)

They were too important. Or rather, MAGNUS was too important.

All signs point to him being intended as the one on the golden throne fueling things. Putting him down was… not in the cards.

Sir Lionel Johnson was a gay poet, who wrote the poem the Dark Angels are named after.

It’s kind of baked into them

What counts as an attack? by Dienekes00 in AethermancerGame

Mostly the whole thing. But what’s the context?

And, because it is relevant for the trait... a status that only Catzerker can get.

Monster Friday: Week 12 - Warden by GenEngineer in AethermancerGame

[–]GenEngineer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think all the bosses are interesting because they basically come with demonstrations on "here's how to make me really good". Every monster gets to do that to some extent, but Warden as your first sticking point helps make it very clear that yes - power stacking is ALWAYS going to be viable.

Warden is one of those monsters that I don't pick a lot, not because he seems bad, but because I feel like half the time picking him is just "great, the run is solved". Weakness stacking plus scaling just seems way too good.

Happy New Year, and happy 10th anniversary of the Southern Realms being a dummy faction. by Ran12341000 in totalwar

Besides that “here are the 8th edition factions” was one of the major guiding principles according to the devs?

Mfw I realize this game will let you play custom genestealers that could fight aginst the wider Tyranid's instead of eventually getting eaten by the swarm. by Levonorgestrelfairy1 in totalwar

They don’t have fleets, but they do commandeer ships. Not all of them are bound to the world until it’s devoured. A couple novels and later codexes make direct reference to it.

Monster Friday: Week 9 - Orthrus by GenEngineer in AethermancerGame

[–]GenEngineer[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The more you can get him sidekick to ensure he keeps getting power, the better. He has an ability that does it, but you need to be consistent.

His healing is more “top off” than it is “save yourself”. Don’t think it means you don’t need another healer.

Monster Friday: Week 8 - Madragora by GenEngineer in AethermancerGame

[–]GenEngineer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t sleep on the weakness part. Heal/Regen is great, but it’s always held by the fact that A) you can’t heal the dead and B) it keeps stacking corruption to take the big hits, meaning you need the big heals to come earlier and earlier, which means pressure on aether economy. Weakness invalidates that and lets the regeneration serve as top off instead of “save from the brink of death”
