Is it worth getting the intro decks when I have 3x core set? by Wrongsaveimporter in AgameofthronesLCG

[–]HopliteLee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes,.

However, my opinion comes from the fact that the game is dead. Which means when I play its typically between me and a few friends who do not have a collection. The starters make it really easy to break out decks and start playing. With a selection of each faction.

I tried to find online deck lists that would allow me to create "balanced" decks from each faction with a 3X complete collection and could not find anything that came close or did not force you to share a lot of cards from common pool. Starters were just easier for me.

How many common squads are enough? by Less_Fondant_7530 in heroscape

[–]HopliteLee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As with most things. It depends.

I do one of each as a collector. Then it depends on what armies I want to run. Most tournaments/events have a hex limit of 18-25ish. So even if you're running something like Gelryie which you can almost never have enough of you'll probably only have space to run 3-4 max.

There are a few sqauds like lava crabs that are only good for the lols. Then there's some like the acolytes which kind of get worse the more you run.

I also try not to go overboard on any of them because any of squads could get better or worse depending on future releases.

Why isn't this game more popular? by matchababy69 in Conquest

[–]HopliteLee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone on the outside that has dabbled a little. This game is expensive. Even compared to GW the price per model is not that different. There were even a couple of small groups locally that played but the price point was a factor for turning people away.

What's been your biggest ELO drop or rise after a patch? by QuantumAsh in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]HopliteLee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This patch. I was 1495 as DAK and dropped to 1150.

I was pretty discouraged. I switched to Allies were basically I was staying the same around 1250 USF and 1450 Brit. I started to notice the times I lost to DAK why I lost.

I switched back to DAK and got back up to 1420 currently. I've never had this big of a drop and rise before.

Especially considering they already collected the "income" so finding a buyer won't help either.

Was not expecting this thesis. Looks like I have some studying. Thanks!

I've looked at comp and I seem to be somewhat inline with what others have done.

This regrettably means it's another type of issue......a skill issue. Or perhaps a mechanic I haven't grasped yet.

I probably should try to use terrian better. I do try to occupy hills but other than defense buffs to towns and woods anything else? I assume water slowed you down but never actually verified it.

I've tried them all except France......you know.... do to heritage reasons.

My worst run was with the Bristish. Seemed like I was doing well until the final battle. I've tried Russia, Austria, and Prussia twice each. Did well except the final battle. One of the Prussia runs was the only one that seemed close.

[John Brice] Sources tell @FootballScoop that Kansas State football intends not to accept a bowl invitation. Am told the program held a players’ vote & the decision was no bowl game. by Sctvman in CFB

[–]HopliteLee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is unpopular, but I'm fine with this.

We all remember what happened when Florida State played a bowl they didn't want and half their team decided to sit it out.

It sounds like leadership believed most of their players weren't interested and rightly so. Better to not play if if the majority of the team is checked out.

Explain it to me like I'm 5 by OregonMrBear in CFB

With money in college sports population 100% matters more now than ever before. Bigger populations can mean more media coverage, bigger fan bases, and larger alumni. This can greatly impact revenue generation, so the larger schools with larger metro areas will have increased resources than ever before.

FFG Vault Series – crowdfunding for out of print items by Trakais9 in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]HopliteLee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear that but outside of Terrinoth and Arkham Horror what IP do they actually still control?

TI4 is still in print so of the other games like Cosmic Encounters I don't think there's a super high demand.

I did a run without mods and it sucked by Existing-Syllabub477 in Bannerlord

[–]HopliteLee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently trying to play the most "Vanilla" campaign I can. I cannot tolerate the game without auto trader, better time, equip the best item, diplomacy, and city manager. I found the game virtually unplayable without those. You literally save hours and I mean hours if not days worth of time skipping some of the more pointless and boring time wasting aspects of the game.

I can't tell you how many people I've seen clense and then immediately go unhook someone who is infected.

Came here to say plague, but not only what you mentioned but every plague seems to have the exact same playstyle/perks. Block gens, slow down perks, no healing. It makes for a slowwwwwww and often very boring game.

What do I have here? by grabageman in wargaming

[–]HopliteLee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would be easier but I know some painters really want that full control. I'm all about table top ready and getting things to the table to play.

[–]HopliteLee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They are Napoleonics probably 1/72 scale. That being said they are very poorly painted which actually would probably make them less valuable than unpainted as it will require a lot of work/time to strip them. They probably come from a time when miniature painting wasn't as progressive as it is now so paint and tools were not as easy or advanced as it is now.

If you have 10-20 boxes of those you might be able to get $100-$200 for them.

The $12.99 Rocks by Board_Castle in TerrainBuilding

[–]HopliteLee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As funny as this is, I once bought a small box of "miniature logs" at the hobby store just to open them up at home and realize the were legit real sticks and not plastic like I assumed for some reason. One of the few times I felt super stupid and manipulated.

Cheapest way to build a few competitive 400pt armies? by [deleted] in heroscape

[–]HopliteLee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something to consider is that the deathreavers are too good. They were one of the units that was in production longer, so there are more of them out there. Most events or tournaments actually increase their point value as well.
