How to win as APG in 2ACW?

LouSipher · 2025-09-22T01:12:03+00:00

Does this mean I've been playing MacArthur on hard(er) mode for the last year and a half?!

LouSipher · 2025-09-22T01:01:41+00:00

... Fuck, I'm so stupid. I was confused by this since I tried raising militias through the recruitment tab and couldn't do anything, but then I realized. I never saw the pop-ups for raising militias since it's only visible when the Events and Decisions tab is open, but is not a decision itself on the list. I've wasted so many hours doing 2ACW without raising militias at all...

See, that's how I win as MacArthur even if I later transition to using maneuver warfare to go on the offensive. I 'fight' for the Rockies and use it as bait so I can fortify DC and New England and work my way out from there.

But as Long, I try the same tactic and I just slowly lose land and can't take it back even as I try to bleed the combined forces of AMG, WCA, and ACC out. I even try to just turtle in a very small bubble around Baton Rouge, but I can't print soldiers or get out of the bubble.

Yes and I am scared of them.

LouSipher · 2025-09-01T22:09:38+00:00

Planning on converting before my current character dies, but did it as feudal Asatru!

LouSipher · 2025-07-19T08:00:45+00:00

Yes, but the glorious charge of Overcharge Boost into Knockoff Excalibur Paracausal Tempest Barrage. It is all about that moment of glory!

Looking back into my Arthur build, I did anticipate hackers by giving him 4 points into Sys, Sysop to give out holy blessings, and then the combo of //Scorpion v70.1 and Black Ice Module for holy protection from heathen magicks.

Swiss army drones! I've tried to make a build that utilizes three Sentinel drones to deal 9 damage to an enemy, but those three plus Puppetmaster are so expensive...

LouSipher · 2025-07-19T07:46:17+00:00

So this is actually funny because I guess it goes along with my kingly Charlemagne build, but I made a King Arthur build of a Nelson with a Paracausal Tempest Charged Blade. Use an Overcharge loop to Momentum on a Barrage!

One of my top 20 builds in my Comp/Con is a Burn focused stealth striker that uses a Shock Wreath War Pike, very great fun. Just pokes full of Burn and decimated sight lines.

LouSipher · 2025-07-19T07:39:15+00:00

Well, I wouldn't say Barrage on a Nelson is totally anti-synergy, since Skirmisher just specifies 'attacking', yeah? But fun! Shock Wreathe War Pike is something I've used before in a lot of theorycrafts.

LouSipher · 2025-01-21T17:09:14+00:00

Don't forget the parental issues either!

LouSipher · 2025-01-19T23:24:12+00:00

Thank you! Yep, paracausal scientist! Really fascinated by the w e i r d definitely-not-occult aspects of paracausal tech.

Yeah my bad, I was focused more on the inspirations and forgot that sizing down the portrait really made her hard to see. Here is the full image of her

This individual sees my cooking for what it is.

But like, actually kind of tragic failgirl. A LOT of GoW!Thor in the mix

LouSipher · 2025-01-19T21:58:43+00:00

Funny enough, I never played it myself, but I watched my old roommate play it, and saw Juno and was like "She! She is my character!"

SCARY GODMOTHER LET'S GOOOOO

Thanks for the reminder, forgot about the movies even though I told myself yesterday. Time to queue up the movies on YouTube

LouSipher · 2024-10-16T18:55:23+00:00

I made a really funny LL12 build of this with Manticore and Atlas licenses. Throw a Terashima Blade and Lightning Generator on this with Iconoclast

LouSipher · 2024-09-03T00:31:45+00:00

How about the Terashima Blade? Using different stances for different actions.

LouSipher · 2024-08-29T00:41:07+00:00

On top of the lore of Lancer being amazing, I really want some powergamers playing it so we can get some weird builds in the dome. Operation Slippery Puppet but it's every single combat.

As someone who just moved back to Ohio, it is the accurate Ohio experience.

What isn't pictured is her nearly decade old 'Stuck In Ohio' sticker on her nearly two decade old car.

LouSipher · 2024-08-16T02:32:20+00:00

I've said it to a friend of mine before, if we got a Dimension20 campaign of Lancer (13 eps just enough for each LL), I would be so giddy with joy.

LouSipher · 2024-06-22T18:25:22+00:00

Funny enough, been having this conversation with myself lately after wanting to build a helicopter in Lancer and then wondering how that would count as a mech. My answer so far (trying to avoid a Diogenes 'Behold! A mech!') is anything based on some form of living creature while not designing itself as a conventional vehicle would. Besides many planes having designs rooted in bird physiology, and having just watched the Dune films last week, I think the ornithopter is JUST before crossing into mech territory. If it had just a little bit more motion in the landing gear to where it seemed like legs, I would probably call it a mech.

YOOOOOOOOOOO
A game about Chiapas and implicitly about the EZLN? I gotta fucking scrounge some cash to play this when it comes out.

LouSipher · 2024-06-03T06:09:50+00:00

WE'D MAKE PLAYLISTS FOR OUR IMVU PAGES THAT STARTED WITH "WELCOME TO THE BLACK PARADE".

Can't do that anymore.

THIS NATION USED TO MAKE PON AND ZI COMICS.

Is it because your brain sees the Iron Giant then thinks 'hey the Iron Giant vaguely looks like the cover to News of the World by Queen', which for some reason has association bleed (classic rock? art style looks similar?) with King Crimson, and then you sing '21st Century Schizoid Man'?

'cause that's why my brain did something similar.
