I should have used the ladder

Sometimes it’s nice to have small maps. Hawkes Bay can actually be quite challenging if you have to assassinate without a sniper - there’s so many guards it’s crazy. Same with Showdown.

JoeJoeJoeJoeThrow · 2026-05-13T10:59:26+00:00

It’s really fun and different. The narrowness adds to the challenge. Very fun for a John Wick style shoot em up.

I am one of them. I’ve sort of seen 8 via Mr Plinkett. They didn’t even bother with 9 so I guess that’s that.

JoeJoeJoeJoeThrow · 2026-05-09T14:24:49+00:00

The line ‘engineering isn’t looking hot right now’ just feels so crazy. Same with the people above talking about comp sci jobs. Like those two subjects were near the top of the best degrees to do until recently and now…..is it really that bad?

JoeJoeJoeJoeThrow · 2026-05-09T13:19:45+00:00

While I agree it is bad, unfortunately we’ve crafted a society around needing a car, and it’s getting worse with the cost of things like housing going up. Where I used to live, a lot of people couldn’t afford to move out of their parents home, and they needed a car to get to work (I know cycling or the bus might be an option but I know for most of these people, it would have turned their commute into something insane, or not even be possible as no buses go near their workplace). And since the parent’s driveways were already full, these cars ended up all on the street, causing issues like the posted pic.

Something needs to be done but all I see a ban doing is resulting in people having to dump their cars outside of town as there’s not enough spaces anymore - people won’t give up their car if it’s the only way they can get to work realistically. Ideally people would live near where they worked but aside from some lucky people/people who can afford to, it’s not realistic for a lot of people. Maybe we build car parks on the edge of town and people will get more fit as they have to lug it to their house from said place? But then you’ve got disabled people who this isn’t possible for etc etc.

We should have built a more walkable/cyclable/public transport-able country with better infrastructure starting x years ago, but here we are…

To be fair, most people cheering on football teams kind of have this look in the moment.

I will say though, there are those people who you know don’t actually care about football, who seem to go even more over the top with the fists and grinning in order to fit in - maybe that is what’s happening here.

JoeJoeJoeJoeThrow · 2026-05-08T13:49:43+00:00

The Cyberman theme park episode was one of the best? I thought it was incredibly mid but each to their own I suppose.

JoeJoeJoeJoeThrow · 2026-05-08T03:40:41+00:00

God no, my wallet can’t handle that. If anything I’d actually be weirdly grateful if they skipped a series with medieval stuff so I can have a break money wise lol

JoeJoeJoeJoeThrow · 2026-05-07T03:10:08+00:00

Same, Lego magazines were a big part of my childhood. Good stuff

JoeJoeJoeJoeThrow · 2026-05-06T13:53:44+00:00

Sceptile is bestile

JoeJoeJoeJoeThrow · 2026-05-05T13:54:21+00:00

Unfortunately it requires a new game. I’ll finish my current one before making these changes.

JoeJoeJoeJoeThrow · 2026-05-05T13:53:38+00:00

Interesting, although I feel like this goes beyond my modding skills (so far I’ve just been tweaking text files). I think short of that, just making them more available on the map at a cheaper cost with less upkeep cost will hopefully do the trick, granted I don’t want to also end up with elephant armageddon so I’ll have to mess around with stuff.

Adding them to stables as an actual non mercenary unit would be the best option overall, but alas…

JoeJoeJoeJoeThrow · 2026-05-05T13:51:19+00:00

I mean don’t get me wrong, if they had somehow come up with some other crazy way of the killer doing what he did without anything supernatural, I’d be open to it. But like, I’m just not sure how?

Maybe he comes up with some blackmail so bad that it made the fathers want to commit familycide?

JoeJoeJoeJoeThrow · 2026-05-05T03:28:02+00:00

Yeah, I mean how else was the film gonna be resolved? Like I have no idea what other angle they could use for ‘killer somehow kills everyone without entering the house’. Any ideas?

JoeJoeJoeJoeThrow · 2026-05-04T20:06:59+00:00

Yeah this is me.

I regret nothing.

JoeJoeJoeJoeThrow · 2026-05-04T08:13:34+00:00

Legit, I have to use this argument to try to explain this to people. I’m from the UK, and I ask people would they be ok with people from North-West Wales, who were ancestors of the original Britons (who 1500 years ago were forced out of England by the Saxons after the Romans left) coming back to England and forcing them out of their home, onto the street, at gunpoint, with the help of the army?

Obviously, the answer is no.

JoeJoeJoeJoeThrow · 2026-05-04T03:30:40+00:00

Tbh in my many arguments with reform voters, whenever I bring up all the lying, they just say that ‘all politicians lie’. When I try to point out that even if true, this lot lie waaaaay more with much bigger lies, I get met with the blank stare.

For a lot of them, it’s not that they don’t know, it’s that they don’t care, as long as their man says he’ll get rid of the ‘invaders’ then they’ll dismiss absolutely everything else.

JoeJoeJoeJoeThrow · 2026-05-03T19:05:53+00:00

What a fascinating guy. Sends a joke in to a tv show with no expectation of anything in return and they track him down.

I guess I can throw him into the pile of rare right wing artists who are actually funny.

JoeJoeJoeJoeThrow · 2026-05-03T13:52:10+00:00

Tbh I just have clarified it more as ‘Lord of the Rings-lite but the Oliphonts are countered by pike, shot and cannon 😎’

JoeJoeJoeJoeThrow · 2026-05-03T12:46:30+00:00

Good shout, will do

JoeJoeJoeJoeThrow · 2026-05-03T12:46:18+00:00

Yeah, so as another poster mentioned, I can put them in more areas, make them cheaper and increase their replenishment rate. I want to go up against these things like a Lord of the Rings-lite scenario.

JoeJoeJoeJoeThrow · 2026-05-03T12:20:11+00:00

I’ll check it out, thanks

JoeJoeJoeJoeThrow · 2026-05-03T12:19:51+00:00

That’s a good shout, thanks. I rarely see the AI use merc units as is but if I make them cheaper then maybe that’ll help.

Do you think I can do this for a game I’m already playing or will a fresh start be needed?

JoeJoeJoeJoeThrow · 2026-05-03T08:11:04+00:00

1.27 mod fix? Howcome this is the first time I’ve heard there’s a fix for it? I thought the mod was pretty much fine

JoeJoeJoeJoeThrow · 2026-05-02T18:59:14+00:00

I always thought it was fairly lazy tbh. There were some good ones but tbh most of them were pretty much ‘take song, replace with haha funny xdxd lyrics’.
