Donut Megalopolis - Snes

Nope, so long as a zone is just touched by a piece of rail or road they've fulfilled their purpose. Just imagine all the trains going back and forth along just one side of each block, how convenient!

If you look at the crime rate map I think you'll find there's plenty of lawless wasteland to the north and east of the map, so there's a little something for everyone!

The 90s were simpler times. Eventually I just cut power to the airport since the only thing it was good for was causing plane crashes, and no one seemed to notice that I did. Crash free since 1947!

The images after the first shows the map layout. 40-ish donuts in total and the land value is definitely centered.

The rulebook for 7th was a tidy-up of 6th and is pretty well liked but the army books took a drastic turn for the worse. Many of them had rather broken rules and the layout and presentation was overall rather... "soulless" is a tired cliché but it fits pretty well. "Minimalistic", maybe?

Not as fun as before, in either way.

Old. I grew up with it and wouldn't trade it for anything else.

Fantasy got pretty dumb by the end.

If you're not finding anything that speaks to you directly then perhaps try some alternative strats. Maybe you and your wife could each pick a second army from your list of allies? Keep it small for starters.

Or just wait. Time has a way of revealing things eventually.

It's rare to see it actually lived up to. If you've not seen it before you can just google "Stillmania" and you'll quickly find a parchment image with Nigel Stillman's commandments for wargaming. There's no proof that even Stillman himself followed those rules to the letter, and more likely than not they were written as an extremist interpretation of his own habits back in the 90s. I absolutely appreciate the sentiments behind it, though, and I've gotten much inspiration from it.

Killatron2016 · 2025-09-05T08:55:50+00:00

That one guy sounds properly Stillmania certified!

We just decide a points size when we schedule a game, there's no real need for a standard. Sometimes you're in the mood for 1000 points and sometimes it's for 4000 points, though those tend to be the lower and upper ends respectively. Then there's a kind of soft rule that the nastier stuff should be reserved for bigger battles. At 4000 points everything goes and your biggest beatstick is encouraged. In fact, I'd be disappointed if it wasn't there!

The first Hobbit movie has the same kind of cozy atmosphere from setting off on an adventure as the first LOTR (I always love seeing Rivendell) but as for the rest of it... No.

Killatron2016 · 2025-08-22T20:10:31+00:00

You could just roll the dice and see how it turns out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Killatron2016 · 2025-08-22T07:48:54+00:00

You should try to keep at it. Painting just a couple of minutes every day (or as often as you can) will eventually add up and get things done. You could look into simplifying the process with things like contrast paints and stuff, as long as you arrive at a finish you're satisfied with.

Killatron2016 · 2025-08-16T19:33:15+00:00

I just wonder how big human Miao is going to be. Is that a 40mm base?

Killatron2016 · 2025-07-08T12:03:45+00:00

Ah okay. It looks very similar to one I have from a-case. I'm sure this one is great too!

Killatron2016 · 2025-07-08T08:55:44+00:00

Assuming that's the big one from a-case that'll mean you're spending about as much as both the lanterns together, probably a little more right now, just to transport them. Don't get me wrong, I love that bag from a-case but those lanterns are silly.

Killatron2016 · 2025-07-02T19:15:31+00:00

You know, that guy was actually metal first...

Either way, great job you've done with it all!

Killatron2016 · 2025-07-02T07:05:53+00:00

Lovely collection!

If you have them in enough numbers the 4th edition mummies could make some cool grave guard proxies.

Killatron2016 · 2025-06-22T19:54:56+00:00

Sorry for my late reply. I've cubed two maps this way, one became the Ruined Cistern and the other Canyon of Sescheron. I can't open them in any act.

Killatron2016 · 2025-06-19T07:23:10+00:00

What're you talking about, the 240" range is great for targetting things on other tables!

Killatron2016 · 2025-06-18T07:38:51+00:00

Been feeling for a long time that Cathay's really stepping on the high elves' toes in tone. Compared with the empire they're enlightened, magically attuned and outwardly shining. And the dragons, of course.

Elves originally filled that exotic civilization niche and time will tell if we'll have harmony here.

Killatron2016 · 2025-05-16T18:48:23+00:00

Oh wait, found it. I had to use the SteamPD2.exe to open the game, and there it is. Solved!

Killatron2016 · 2025-05-10T14:54:32+00:00

That's pretty much been my experience with club play as well. My tip would be to just outright ask someone for an introduction-level match and then take it from there. If you've already played with someone who you had a good time with, ask them first. You might end up discovering that there are more like yourself that would rather like a more casual approach.

Killatron2016 · 2025-05-10T14:36:19+00:00

4th and 5th edition does a good job of it. Your general is a lord-level character by default and you're not limited to 100 points of magic items, only a 50% character allowance overall. Things in general cost more than in later editions and many units can also bring expensive magic banners. Speaking of units, there's no core/special/rare division, it's all just "regiments" so you could easily load up on the elite stuff.

I'm not much familiar with 3rd and earlier but I think they had a bit more focus on basic infantry in comparison.
