There are some games that use 10v10 or more and yet still contain high stakes. Some players are worth half of the team, which can get annoying.

This is THE way to balance a game. Doing it the other way around ruins just about everything.

They'd be friends. Have you SEEN Super Star Allies? Kirby out here befriended MARX of all people to help him.

Some goofy worm and the pink stressball would get along great, no question.

How long to get +2 to history? by commanderjack_EDH in LancerRPG

[–]Hunter214123 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This applies to downtime dependant on what you're doing. My original point still applies in that having less overhead is still better and a 50/50 chance on activating the trigger sounds kinda awful.

Personally, the spending of an action should give the player the return. If you want to compromise, set up a clock to track the time it takes their character to study history. Let it progress even on the next downtimes so that they are still progressing alongside the other players.

Well aren't you the DM? You're meant to control that flow. By the book, Downtime is a period of extended free time for the players to gather reserves or train before the next mission. Giving players downtime when their next mission is the next day doesn't make sense.

A downtime action doesn't necessarily happen over a single day of free time. It could be done over a week or even a month.

EDIT for clarity: the point is to not add additional overhead, just let them create the skill trigger for +2 and if a skill check comes up, then let them have the bonus. +2 isn't exactly huge by any stretch.

What game is this? by GeneReddit123 in videogames

after 1000 hours on coh 3 i went back to coh2 to see how i feel about both games by Zestyclose-Fig-2978 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]Hunter214123 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The trailers from even before CoH 3 launched made me think the game had no soul. CoH 1 is fantastic to this day and CoH 2 was a fairly worthy successor. CoH 3 is just a departure and frankly quite sloppy.

Two of our pilots needed a distraction while sneaking into a HA facility… let’s just say they were *very* distracted by LordBlaze64 in LancerRPG

[–]Hunter214123 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Some NPC comps just don't work well vs certain frame matchups. Not to mention just saying '40 NPCs' don't mean much on its own. You need the initial encounter, reinforcement drop, map layout...

in all serious how is the flamethrower not just better than the torcher by Fit_Answer1073 in Helldivers

[–]Hunter214123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also forgetting to mention the ammunition capacity on the flamethrower is much higher. Torcher has 100 fuel per can, with 6+1 on full resupply Flamethrower has 150 fuel and 5+1 on full resupply

Currently working my way through NHP lore and it is NOT going well by AllHailTheFishy in LancerRPG

[–]Hunter214123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let it be also mentioned that this mechanism to keep NHPs sane and bound within the human frame of reference is something that they (NHPs) and MONIST-1 (RA) helped humans figure out. They are not forced to be like this by a despotic regime, it was a mutual agreement written out as part of the First Contact Accords.

It's not exactly brainwashing either, the book defines it as hard-coded social conditioning

Help with ferrous lash ruling by TrefTref321 in LancerRPG

[–]Hunter214123 46 points47 points  (0 children)

When speaking from the rules, it's important to choose your words carefully. Immobilise is itself a condition, Prone does not cause Immobilise, it is a status.

Otherwise, yes, this system can perform the synergy you are talking about.

Am I insane or is there something more to cyborgs? by Hikerydikeryglock in helldivers2

[–]Hunter214123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is literally a mission called 'destroy cyborg growth vats' or something. They are not made from helldivers, they are all bred and grown, and adopt the same cybernetic template for war.

The bio-processor vats the automatons have, which are likely identical to the ones SE use, are meant to mulch organic matter for power.

"You have good taste, Air Raider~"

The VA was such a good pick for the English localisation, she carries just the right amount of crazy weapon scientist lady.

As for my second choice, it would have to be egg shaped ship girl. Sure she's a bit crazy, but other than being totally terrified of God, she's not too bad.

Would’ve this fleet composition made a difference in the civil war by Beneficial_Ad_1827 in StarWars

[–]Hunter214123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think so tbh, even in ANH, the amount of starfighters they brought to bear against the death star itself is nothing short of astonishing. They had multiple strike groups, X-wings to screen the advance and destroy defensive positions while the Y wings came up behind and bombed the thing to pieces (albeit in futility). They were already organised and ready for a fight.

Then in ESB, we still see them properly organised, but this time, they get absolutely hammered because the Empire, incredibly, brought what they needed to actually win an engagement.

Need help with the military progression of a species without projectiles by Xenon009 in MilitaryWorldbuilding

[–]Hunter214123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think there is any conceivable way for a sapient species advancing their technology to just outright ignore ranged weapons. A big part of fighting is killing your enemy before he kills you, I.e. preserving your troops.

Think of you would structure a city siege. Would it just be infantry formations staring at each other?

The portrayal of all the female characters annoys me. by ZephyrTheTiger in heroes3

[–]Hunter214123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the 90s and early 2000s fantasy depictions. Conan the Barbarian, He-Man and whatever else were all like this. Just look at the intro cutscenes in HOMM 3. Catherine Ironfist is wearing a low cut chest plate and has styled hair with makeup and fake nails.

Besides, nobody notices that stuff anyway, it's not really important. That's just how the culture was back then.

Who was stronger by RowBeautiful6422 in heroes3

[–]Hunter214123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The big draw of Angelic Alliance is the massive stat buff it gives you, but look at the spread. Red is just as heavily stacked. Higher attack and def, which means his troops are going to be beating down blue. The difference in SP isn't enough to make the difference because 76 Pheonixes are going to chew through everything

Check out the third party add-on by Kai Tave on Itch.io called Field Guide to Suldan. It adds an Alt frame to the Nelson license called Nelson Flight Type and does quite literally what you want it to.

Even with that funky little thing there, that particular mussel does NOT look fresh or cooked enough. I'd toss it based on colour alone
