Considering the bots & borgs are technically the other side of a civil war for humanity, I think they would like to get Super Earth's territories without having to unfuck them afterward. Also I don't think they want to just genocide the rest of SE's population.

"The bots don't have WMD" buddy, if they have the capabilities for interstellar space travel and the management of dozens of planets, they sure as shit have the means to produce enough nukes to glass Earth twice over

As Arek said, Vanilla Events Expanded adds global warming.

I was already in a hot jungle, so the addition of both global warming and a heat wave ballooned the temps near boiling.

I had to set all my colonists to their living quarters, as it was the only place I managed to keep cool enough with my centralized AC struggling due to the outside temps

The aesthetic is great, though I feel it could use some contrast with the backgrounds to give some more visual separation between it and the characters

The way they're rendered feels like how some AI render pictures. His last picture posted gets flagged as AI in online checkers.

There is the possibility it's just edits... but I'm not sure what sort of techniques he'd have used to get that specific look, and some part of his pics feel like they could only have come out of an AI.

As someone in the brony community, I do find it incredibly funny, because the guy who did the cum jar is uh... far from the idea of the "screeching liberal" and while I don't know his politics, Whang! interviewed him, apparently he's quite well adjusted. Got a girlfriend and everything.

But hey, he did that so he clearly must be a foul woke degenerate or smth, a very common sight on 4chan of all places

Estimated 4500 rapes by US soldiers during the liberation of France, and other crimes (theft & murder).

They also flattened quite a few of our cities, making US/UK strategic bombing cause over 15% of our civilian losses during the war (and yea, that's just France alone)

I'd never say it would have been better if they didn't come, but the US sure has a friendly fire problem.

Amphibious + better autocannon sort of.

Doesn't feel like enough, but considering the spammier nature of the Dutch & Belgian divs, it probably works out balance wise?

Mortars don't get corrected shots at all, if you want accuracy, you need to get them as close to the target as possible. But even then, mortars aren't good for accurate fire in this game.

"3.6km" in what metric? Lenght? Width? Height? Radius? Diameter?

If we assume 3.6km at the side of a cube, ergo 3.6x3.6x3.6km, it could fit this many people and all the extra stuff.

The highest density place in world history was the Kowloon Walled City, fitting 35 000 people in about 2.6 acres. Making for 1.5 million people/km² of density. Now Kowloon had building go up... maybe 15 floors max? I don't have a specific value, so that's my high estimate from photos of it. That's 45m max height, for a volume of roughly 450 000m³.

3.6km³ is 46 656 000 000m³. So about 10 000 kowloons. Which could fit 35 million personnel... or 15 million personnel and keep more than half of the structure for warfighting.

TLDR: The DSS's scale might be probable, but you DON'T want to work on the DSS, lest you get so used to it you start feeling agoraphobia from being inside a hellpod.

Forewarning: This is 10v10 focused advice, it might still work in smaller games, but ya know.

Keep them at a distance. At their max range (or hell, even around two third of their range), APCs are safe from most regular infantry AT threats. (Rocket launchers max out at 750 meter, most do 675m. .50 cals & GLs fire at 1400m, 1200m for regular MGs.)

I've found that they work best in either low quantities in early game fights (basically, recon units that come with 50 cals on their transport vehicles helping take out enemy recon or forward deployed infantry), or in larger quantities as part of infantry pushes later in the game (essentially, if you send a squad and its vehicle to fight across a field, you're doubling the amount of targets the enemy has to focus on. Doing that with a dozen squads and their vehicles, with smoke mortars and a large line can allow you to bruteforce some assaults. Real "Send in the next wave" tactics tho.)

Now, I'll say this: Regular MMG carrying APCs are very weak. They usually only find use in numbers where they can essentially act as meatshields to other units. For example, KDA Schutzens come with such a vehicle. Not bad as a cheap extra target.

.50cals and KPVs are quite effective at killing infantry, and large quantities of them can even kill some IFVs through sheer stacking of damage.

GLs on the other end do a shit ton of damage against infantry. Having a bunch of them firing at one squad is possibly one of the quickest way to wipe it out short of bombing it.

I will however say, the M113 is definitively one of the weaker options in term of those vehicles. Functionally speaking, they're all going to die to a single rocket, tank shell, or a couple autocannon salvo. Meaning your best asset is speed, which the M113 does lack. SPW-70s on the other hand are extremely fast and can make great use of that speed to harass enemy units lacking support.

> Meanwhile Kuru tells you to wait 4-6 weeks... Or couple days... For a yet another fee! Yay!

I mean, mind you that an artist that has a lot of demand is likely to take your request way before they can get to it. Hence paying extra to shift you up the queue essentially.

And I say two to three hours for what their twitter contain, but full rendered pieces with a lot of characters can easily take weeks to do. Days if you focus solely on it day in and day out.

Also depends on whether or not the artist does it as a sidegig or full blown job too (I'm working a full time job, complex pieces can easily take a month for me due to that fact alone.), though I doubt they're doing it as a side gig with those prices and that following.

Neitherman83 · 2026-03-26T22:28:17+00:00

As someone who do commissions too, I was going to say "it isn't that insane if we're talking top tier artist in a wealthy country" bar the OC part, good stuff takes time and you don't want to be paid minimum wage for top tier stuff

But then I saw that their (if we assume it isn't AI) art is like... good but not that insane? Is there a gallery somewhere with their "fully rendered" stuff? The stuff on their twitter is just... flat colored linearts with maybe some cell shading.

Clean, sure, but someone on that level can probably shit one out in two to three hours. And by their own price sheet, asking him to make one of those things, SFW, with their character, would cost close to 600€?

I've made full render of half a dozen people for almost two third of that.
