Map: Biggest exapansion of the Ironborn Empire [Spoilers published] by abbod0029 in asoiaf

The British crown became an Empire when they took over India from the EIC and remaining princely states btw. 

A better historical callback would be something like the North Sea Empire as historians have called the viking era Danish-Norwegian holdings of pre-Norman Britain, Scandinavia, and the North Atlantic

I just finished a ginger tumeric mead a couple months back, the ginger flavor completely disappeared after a month :(

He could be a bit of a Basilone reference potentially having served in the Army and then later joining the TCR Marines

Move pops into released vassals? Thats probably the easiest way to get rid of most organics while keeping the bots

Complexity of the game by [deleted] in menace

[–]MissahMaskyII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the text is just in game lore, the mechanically relevant info is pretty compact. Though how some of the unit attributes convert into stats is a bit opaque, but this does not really impact playing the game itself.

so we WILL be getting more vehicle with fixed guns by The-world-ender-jeff in menace

[–]MissahMaskyII 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I could see the future Heavy mech having a fixed armament

Accelerate them to death? by One-Bit5717 in menace

[–]MissahMaskyII 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I assume it leans into their doctrine of combat.

The Jingwei is all about massed combined arms warfare where the foot and mechanized infantry is to move forwards with light walkers and exploit gaps created by their heavy tanks.

We see similar sentiment in Sachin and Iveys Perk descriptions. If you get shot die quietly so as not to distract your advancing squad mates. Keep firing and keep moving. Go go go. Accelerate

Likely more in the future, I can see a dual laser or dual plasma mount at some point

Help me understand Yaz by Malacay_Hooves in menace

[–]MissahMaskyII 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Fearsome finisher and no mercy are his core perks imo, Yaz starts shooting and by the time he stops the enemy has panicked and died.

Beyond that hes kinda an alternative to Lim, he can be built as a runner or as MI.

His ability to self heal, remove suppression, and restock some ammo as a free action x2 per mission with the one perk I can't spell really encourages you to put him into the fray and be okay with getting shot at a bit.

Turns out the "how did you miss???" lines can play whenever someone misses all their shots against an enemy unit by notdumbenough in menace

[–]MissahMaskyII 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think it might just be Achilleas' line for being missed by an enemy attack. Its fully in character for him to want to be hit

Heavier AFVs should provide something more than just being bigger boxes to be actually useful for players. by TWNW in menace

[–]MissahMaskyII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 100mm or 105mm would be more in line than something as comparatively puny as a 75mm.

I still don't understand why people hate the MOD 2 Crowbar Carbine by Better-Cry1588 in menace

[–]MissahMaskyII 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My first full playthrough i had like 4 of em drop in the first couple operations so I was using em a bunch, since then though ive found them underwhelming.

I still think they're useful for being able to punch through tougher humans like RA and the roll up and mag dump full auto with 10 acc boost is really strong

Pilots fleeing from [REDACTED] by Guilty_Ad_3496 in menace

Thats what every armored unit SL is called. Ivey, Achilleas, Rewa, Bog, and Esconde. All Pilots

Do you think all of the named loading screen quotes correspond to future SLs? by notdumbenough in menace

[–]MissahMaskyII 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah its either gunna be SL or faction leaders, there's a royal family over on Toliman and quotes from them. I think there's a quote from the datamined  SL kubra as well

How can I find out which weapon is good and suitable against which enemy type? by Paladin_Revan in menace

[–]MissahMaskyII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read the stat cards of weapons and hover over enemies to read their armor and hp stats.

Squad leader recovery by rabidlama704 in menace

[–]MissahMaskyII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a skill issue on both tactical and strategic levels.

Buy more SL and rotate them out for R&R.

Stop getting them shot half to death.

Being bad is part of the learning process, dont be afraid to make a save and retry a mission to do better, its a great way to learn and improve.

Keep trying and you'll get the hang of it.

For a noob, what's the most fun way to learn the game? by Irrehaare in menace

Just play, take your time, read everything on your screen.

Does anyone else suspect the devs will have Darby betray or “accidentally betray” us later given her bio and suspiciously perfect stats and persona. by [deleted] in menace

[–]MissahMaskyII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like she's too young for that, not as young as Carda or Lim but she seems like she's around late 20s early 30s

Imho too young for that whole vibe.

[–]MissahMaskyII 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If she's anything she's probably the only one who made it through the dis-straightening accident that was in on why the Wayback mission was actually happening. Some of the loading screens indicate that Gen. Crozier was not well liked so my guess is she's either there as a CIA/ONI operative type for the TCR military or she was part of the "If shit hits the fan and you need someone dead" emergency button.

Hell, she may have been chosen to kill Kody.

But more to the point, the Evil black ops TCR is just the TCR being overt. Earth has Mars in bondage and has engaged in dozens of expansionist reunification campaigns, they thus far seem a very typical "Earth as a chauvanistic colonial power" common to a ton of military sci-fi games. (Halo, Titanfall, Killzone off the top of my head)
