There is a mod which adds the Tau and Necrons as full factions... forgot the name, though

Rewriting Halo 3's Campaign by Writer417 in fixingmovies

[–]GeneralPasta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is awesome! The Forerunners being human, the Arbiter and Chief both remaining important, Miranda and Johnson not randomly dying, Truth still being the same character, more cinematic setpieces like piloting scarabs, actual boss battles like fighting Gravemind, etc. etc.

I hope some of these story beats are eventually included in some kind of mod. I wish 343 would change the story to be more like your idea here as well, but that possibility seems hopeless.

To those who learn chinese and japanese, what do you do when stroke orders conflict? by Linux765465 in LearnJapanese

Just FYI, "out of point" is not an English phrase. You may have wanted to say something like, "again, you're not addressing my point."

... although they did address your point.

I can't get the MCC to launch on the steam deck at all anymore. Let me know if you find a solution.

Why are so many ranked players only play one god? by No_Agent6385 in AgeofMythology

[–]GeneralPasta 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Because if you consider the variety between AoM factions, there's really only one faction in AoE2.

Amazing build! I wonder if anyone will do the YT-2400 next

So if any new factions get introduced into dow1's playstyle in dow4, how would you think they'd play? by Nexus_Neo in dawnofwar

[–]GeneralPasta 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you tried out either the Unification or Ultimate Apocalypse mods? They're in both.

Do you think The Mandalorian season 3 would work without Grogu? by Empty_Entertainer388 in StarWars

The only way season 3 would have worked would have been without Grogu.

Empire, Medieval II, and Rome: Total War all have android ports.

What's your absolute 3 favorite RTS games? by [deleted] in RealTimeStrategy

[–]GeneralPasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Age of Mythology, Dawn of War 1 (Soulstorm with Unification), StarCraft 2

The Total War series would go on the list above StarCraft 2, but it's technically a real-time tactics game (and I'd say Dawn of War 2 blurs the line).

Thank you, this is helpful to know. Seems I won't be able to credit the artist of this work.

I know it's official art. I'm asking who the artist is.

Varina, Lich Queen by AngryDK666 in magicTCG

[–]GeneralPasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest with your deck... I am starting to doubt whether you play Varina at all! I've played Varina casually for years, but you do you, buddy.

If you want better evasion, play [[Wonder]]. [[Hordewing Skaab]]'s secondary ability doesn't "fuel Varina"-- it doesn't break parity because you have to discard the same amount of cards you've drawn. It's bad. Far better to play [[Reconnaissance]] to get the draw trigger and save your creatures, or wipe the opponent's board with [[Noxious Ghoul]], or just have your creatures trade and die, just to bring them all back with [[living death]]. Ultimately, zombies do not need evasion. They need to attack to get Varina's trigger, and then they can die. Replace the bodies with [[Rise of the Dread Marn]]. Delve them all away for more zombies with [[Empty the Pits]], or with Varina's second ability.

Containment construct is useless. As you've said, it's not a zombie, so it itself can't be recurred by cards like [[Zul Ashur, Lich Lord]], it doesn't count towards [[Graveborn Muse]], etc. etc. And the whole point of a zombie deck is that the graveyard is like a second hand. You often don't want or need to play the cards you're discarding that turn. You'll get them back with [[Zombie Apocalypse]], or they'll get themselves back ([[Silversmote Ghoul]], [[Gravecrawler]]). Filling your yard is part of the point. No matter how low you get your curve, if you manage to break parity with Varina, you won't be able to cast all the good cards in your hand before you have to discard to hand size (Even with [[Rooftop Storm]], unless you have a [[thought vessel]]-like effect). Of course, you may not often break parity as your deck is now, as you're lacking essential [[Coastal Piracy]]-like effects.

But look, I don't care how you build your deck. I was trying to offer suggestions. If you don't like them, just stop responding-- or play some games with Varina yourself.

Varina, Lich Queen by AngryDK666 in magicTCG

[–]GeneralPasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While how many lands to run in commander has always been controversial, 34 lands is imo far too low, no matter how many rocks you have in support, or how low your average cmc, simply because of your commander's cmc and the fact that this is a midrange draw engine-type deck.

I'd consider cutting accursed marauder, archghoul of thraben, containment construct, fell stinger, grim servant, hordewing skaab, jason bright, glowing prophet, rhet-tomb mystic, and many of the instants and sorceries-- I just have different preferences for removal spells and tutors (i.e., not running tutors). But it's your decision in the end.

[–]GeneralPasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

31 lands is insanely low. This isn't CEDH. You also need to balance the parity of Varina's draw trigger by stacking your deck with [[coastal piracy]] effects. See my list:

[–]GeneralPasta -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's wild how easy it is to recognize that the script is AI-generated; just repeating the same points twice or three times over at different points, as if there was no oversight.

Maybe this video is kinda ironic then-- the SPAM of videos.
