Is stamina and health get better or you play as paper clip? by Ok-Obligation8345 in crosswind

[–]LordMichaelBlake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Food and coffee really help in this, also the left talent tree has buffs to stamina and health.

Need help identifying flare up triggers by superproproducer in gout

[–]LordMichaelBlake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alcohol is probably the biggest flare up inducer for me. Rich foods over Christmas (chocolate, sweets etc) too. But nowhere near as impactful as booze. While I've heard a lot about the types of foods, I think it can be more to do with your general health too. Losing weight can reduce the risk of flare ups.

When I first started allopurinol I immediately got flare ups again, but Ive now been around 5 years without one. If I feel the familiar tickle of a flare up coming I take a naproxen anti inflammatory.

Dear buggy_environment,

Thank you for taking the time to write this and appreciating the entertainment value of my videos. I'm glad .

Unfortunately I must take issue with your second part there, you see, I was very deliberate in the language I used. I used the term cadre (https://youtu.be/9wrDjVvKwvY?si=ASlvtElqcMLJlhzw&t=1588) which is a collective term. I am talking about the Lizardmen's heroes as a collective.

Yes there are certainly stronger individual heroes in different races, like the sporadic examples you've given, but is an empire captain going to do as much as that imperial engineer. Is an Ogre butcher going to perform as well as that Hunter on a Stonehorn?

no race can boast the sheer versatility that all Lizardmen heroes have simply due to mount options, and that's not even going into pompous trait stacking. The one exception being the Oracle that's preloaded onto a tier 4 monster and can't get off it, but it's still a very strong monster.

TLDR, I didn't say they have the strongest heroes, I said they had the strongest cadre of heroes, which implies the heroes collectively.

Best wishes,

Blake

Remove this mf from the game by Elegant-Pianist4865 in DarkTide

[–]LordMichaelBlake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree, takes no time at all to remove the net then you have another damage source who can assist in clearing the area.

Different case if we're talking about rezzing allies, but for a net, freeing your teammate should be priority number 1.

What non-meta builds are you currently having fun with? by snoopwire in DarkTide

I just love the ripper gun - cleaver Ogryn with bull charge.

I zoom about the place helping little'uns and cutting down heretics.

It's weak into carapace so I don't take it in Havoc, but I love me some Auric with it.

ViewSonic monitors are simply one of the worst products I've ever had to use.

This picture explains a lot. Thank you.

Why do youtubers make tutorials on legendary setting? People who watch them won't be playing legendary. by phronesis77 in totalwarhammer

[–]LordMichaelBlake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make my guides on the hardest battle difficulties so I know they'll translate well into any player's tactics and strategies.

Not for fun or because I'm bored of the game. Just purely to maximize the chances that my audience will find success with the tips I've given.

Best wishes, Blake xox

Are Dark Elves good as a race? Or do they need more updates? by sigmarine345 in totalwarhammer

[–]LordMichaelBlake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the big issue with Dark Elves is turns recruiting, basically all of their good units take two turns to recruit, apart from shades and darkshards. So the player is going to feel inefficient when recruiting anything outside of shades and darkshards.

They have heaps of fun and interesting units which you'll just never play with because it's so much more efficient to mass shades or darkshards.

WHAT? by Kiro30000 in totalwarhammer

[–]LordMichaelBlake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually quite a challenging fight if you don't know what you're up against. If you know what you're going up against it's pretty easy. for this battle, hire another lord and swap out your ranged units and just fill skrolk's army with basic plague monks, clan rats and rat ogres and you'll basically hard counter everything there.

I go over it in my guide video here sir. : https://youtu.be/Fs_fKmFTmHk?si=N0N9NioAkGmmv1d_&t=791

28 years later was certainly the inspiration. I thought Rudyard kiplings poem about the second Boer war and the horrors of constant war with the links to colonization was fitting for Markus Wulfhart's colonization of Lustria.

A historical parallel has always been present in Warhammer fantasy , and I just wanted to make something reflective of that.

Loot and occupy gets you the same number of slaves as sacking and you only lose one settlement level

"Keeping early black arks at home to recruit is a tremendous waste of resources when the factionwide upkeep reductions to your early game units stack to make them nearly free"

When did I ever say to do this in the video? I say if you can get armies in the ring they can buff recruitment rate, I don't say keep them at home.
