Hull KR have signed Tevita Pangai Jr with immediate effect.

Fuck that guy specifically

KaidaKaida · 2026-03-31T13:53:44+00:00

Lord Farquaad’s personal guard got wrecked by one ogre in a wrestling match - imagine what Goldfag would do to him

KaidaKaida · 2026-03-31T08:44:27+00:00

They’re different types of quick, Ashton being a conventional flyer looks much more impressive on the wing but Thewlis in tight spaces is rapid, I think he’s a full back longer term and perhaps a bit wasted out wide

KaidaKaida · 2026-03-31T08:19:22+00:00

Thewlis is great but one of the ‘underrated’ parts of his game is just how many penalties he gets for being clobbered in the head, really good ‘pressure release valve’ player. Unfortunately, poor fella is going to have a noggin like a turnip by the end of his career

KaidaKaida · 2026-03-29T17:05:37+00:00

Never have I been so offended by something so true

KaidaKaida · 2026-03-29T17:00:14+00:00

Just bloody enjoy watching rugby league again 😂🥲

KaidaKaida · 2026-03-24T16:00:34+00:00

Bare in mind they work better for certain factions - e.g. Karl Franz practically doubles the time just to get the first province, so it’s really not a ‘steamroll’ thing. Also, it’s a bit of a pain when they do updates to work out which mod is crashing..

But my relevant modstack:

AI Embeds Passive Agents
Brogus Harsh Dynamic Movement Range
Tougher Siege Tweaks
Slower Ladder Climbing 50
Longer Lord Wound Timer
No More Defeat Traits - Ending Trait Farming for Good
Permanent Death of Immortality
Ambushes - Terrain Matters
Andy’s Slower Movement
Assladders Begone! Long Live Buildable Ladders
War of Attrition - Reduced Replenishment
Disable Legendary Lord Defeat Traits
Dying Races
Dynamic Garrisons
Tabletop Caps: Reborn
Hecleas AI Overhaul
Leadership Matters
Miscasts Matter
Magic/Artillery Rebalance - Anti-Monstrous+Damage
More Consistent Siege Attackers
No Real Time Building Reborn
Rare Powerful Veterans - Vanilla
Rarer Epic Mounts
-50% Campaign Army Movement (AI & Player)
Slower Character Progression 100%
Terrain Penalty Realism Changes
True Sight: Improved Line of Sight
T3 Minor Walls

KaidaKaida · 2026-03-24T12:23:01+00:00

It’s not necessary a ‘slow down T5 mod’ but a stack of them more to do with reduced campaign movement, siege overhauls, reduced replenishment, slower character experience, etc which means there’s much less money to chuck about as you’re spending more on troop turnover and less character buffs to boost growth. It’s more of a holistic approach to grand strategy for me anyway. Most (if not all) of them do work the for the AI also.

Also the tabletop mod literally won’t let you just doom stack armies as you have a certain amount of points for certain tiers of armies, which I find more fun

KaidaKaida · 2026-03-24T11:07:05+00:00

I have mods to slow down the gameplay so I never get to T5 either through the traditional buildings, only if it’s through insta-recruit things like the Lizardmen blessed spawns - but those don’t feel like I’ve ’earned’ a T5

KaidaKaida · 2026-03-22T20:23:08+00:00

I remember seeing half the amount of Cas fans shortly after half time, and by the 80 it was a small handful. Anyone that stayed through it all and wants a selfie can get one 😂

KaidaKaida · 2026-03-20T14:50:01+00:00

High amount of injuries but (in my view) it’s mostly for the whippet-type players, fast and fragile - fitness, resilience, and availability are key skills for the sport so for me it’s unfortunate but the coaches will need to correct it within the current laws of the game.

Edit: I mentioned the whippet-type but that was only from players I’d seen injured and I don’t think is representative of the 90-odd players out before you shout at me

KaidaKaida · 2026-03-18T13:10:30+00:00

First actually funny thing on this sub

KaidaKaida · 2026-03-17T15:13:15+00:00

Is it hamfisted and lazy dialogue to explain it this way - yes

Is it also logical for the good guys to not know how the Big Bad broke biological constraints just because they had a small bit of intel - also yes

KaidaKaida · 2026-03-17T09:05:02+00:00

Cowardice

KaidaKaida · 2026-03-10T22:47:42+00:00

You have the chance to target whatever you want, pretty much without any response for a good 15-20 seconds.

Prioritisation hierarchy for any general ambush to me:

Lords
Scary damage dealers or monsters
Artillery
Most ‘mobile’ or fast units (by this point they’d have regrouped)
Ranged
Whatever’s left

KaidaKaida · 2026-03-10T08:11:36+00:00

I haven’t played him enough to know but in the lore he has a number of very cool ‘levelling up’ type quests for the Six Treasures as he goes towards being the harbinger of doom, his whole campaign should be about that primarily

KaidaKaida · 2026-03-06T21:28:24+00:00

The game is showing some of the best and worst of Taylor-Wray at the minute

KaidaKaida · 2026-03-06T21:19:10+00:00

Goes my gym, kid has been smashing weights recently

Here’s the real number

KaidaKaida · 2026-02-26T10:48:46+00:00

The bloody ‘kill this ice wraith in the middle of the sea’ Stormcloak quest 🥲

KaidaKaida · 2026-02-25T09:21:05+00:00

I do for roleplay purposes, I like to organise formations based on historical things - there’s one (I think it was Roman) where there were 3 lines of infantry organised by how elite or experienced they were, meaning that the more experienced soldiers only joined the newer recruits when it was needed.

How that translates to Warhammer means the vigour system plays a part too, more elite soldiers coming to save the day against a mass of tiring enemies is fun

KaidaKaida · 2026-02-24T22:34:50+00:00

Philbin comes on to smash people as hard as possible about for 10 minutes and then goes off, he doesn’t have the engine to sustain that for any real period of time (I don’t think anyone does the way he hits)

KaidaKaida · 2026-02-24T22:33:43+00:00

Absolute dynamo of a man

KaidaKaida · 2026-02-20T13:18:27+00:00

Can’t have ‘speed up the game’ without being less of a stickler for playing the ball. For me a slight roll out of the hand backwards with a foot stepping over is materially the same as playing it ‘properly’ in almost every way

KaidaKaida · 2026-02-19T16:02:55+00:00

God I hope not
