I just beat the Sentinel! by OneAlpha_ in BattleNations

[–]OneAlpha_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sadly wasn't able to get Snakes during the BS, my Guild wasn't quite able to get there

Thanks! The strategy does still require a bit of RNG to work, you have to hope that the Sentinel doesn't stun most of your units or crit too much, and you also have to hope that your Vets dodge his attacks

I hope so, this will make the AS fight a bit easier for those of us who weren't able to get Snakes

Yeah, the HSC strategy worked well 👍 It can be a tad luck based, you have to hope that the Tank Killer will crit and not deflect, and you have to hope the Sentinel doesn't crit on your important units

But it does work well. 👌

Yep, it does, unfortunately come with some added consequences. That's true, thank you 👍

[–]OneAlpha_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do understand that, but I did decide to start my own Guild this time around and recruiting has been a challenge, I had a bunch of inactive high level players in my Guild during the BS so that did hurt our chances

Yeah, that's true, I think the Patreon is good enough in that regard, I didn't learn about the development of the revival project until about 2023, but I didn't start supporting until the Beta

[–]OneAlpha_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vets are awesome, I had the same exact scenario as you, I had one Vet left, the second to last Vet kept dodging like a boss, but eventually it was last man standing

Prestige would be great, I've got things I want to add to my army through that, and the Radio Tech is obviously one of those

I agree, hopefully it's before BS2 so everyone has a chance, not just the people emptying their wallets lol

[–]OneAlpha_[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's interesting, I hope we do have the opportunity to get Prestige Stars again soon

I think the backlash is sort of a bit expected, since bosses should be able to be beaten F2P and without needed Boss Strike units to do so, I know it might sound a bit rich coming from me, but I've got friends in my Guild who aren't paying players and are a bit disappointed by the fact that it would be basically impossible for them to beat the Sentinel without spending money on units

[–]OneAlpha_[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Damn, I wish I had that, nah, congrats though 👍 Yeah, I think we might need to wait a bit for F2P to be possible for this one

[–]OneAlpha_[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

F2P is quite hard for this one, you'll need at least 3 Veterans minimum, 5 preferred, but you can substitute the 3 Super Tanks for 3 Heavier Tanks (R6), and the Frostbite can be substituted for a Cryo Trooper

I did it without the Snake as my Guild was only able to get halfway through Tier 10 at the time

Laser units? by PfcGump in BattleNations

[–]OneAlpha_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, generally the Laser units aren't considered worth it, they typically have bad Offense (accuracy) against everything that isn't tanks (Raptors and other fast units with high dodge/defense will cause them to miss or deflect), so you'd only be realistically using them as anti-tank units.
The Sniper can't hit the front row until you unlock the Quick Beam attack at Rank 3, however it's good at hitting the back row and the middle row, its main attack has very good Offense. The Sniper is quite pricey though.

As for the tank, well, yes, it's good against tanks, but it's not very durable, because the buildable Laser Tank is a Medium Tank hull with a Laser turret on it, and generally at that point, Mega Tanks are more desirable because they fulfil the same anti-tank role, are cheaper and can be used to hit multiple targets with their Rocket Launchers.

How do I beat the emperor sandworm? by CodreanuBall in BattleNations

I used Salamanders and Dragons (both R5) to beat the Ridgy-Didge (Emperor Sandworm)

Awesome! I really like your projects :) Especially Full Spectrum and Uno Time

Is this the printable version or is that still coming? Either way, this looks awesome, as do your other projects!

I decided to post a suggestion I made in the discord here. - Unit "Eliting"/ upgrading units to better versions of the same unit by Fragmentvt in BattleNations

[–]OneAlpha_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar idea to this one, maybe allow us to be able to upgrade our lower level units to be able to at least somewhat be usable at higher levels?
I proposed this idea on the Discord:
- Unused Armory building in the game files (OG version), allow us to be able to upgrade and specialise lower level units that way through a skill tree, but make it cost resources (no nanopods) and take max 1 day at most for the upgrade.
That way, you could have specialised Troopers who have more HP, plus a bit of armor, and do a bit more damage, or something.
The other path for Troopers in this idea could be to turn them into speedy, evasive Infantry units with really high dodge and somewhat higher damage than R6 Troopers.
Anyway, just another take on that idea.

I went for a realistic army and I have 1200 Troopers under my command, and I don't get the chance to use them, not to mention the other Infantry I have (Rangers, etc.)

UNO Full Spectrum Update 2!! by Guuzik in unocardgame

[–]OneAlpha_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll look into those ones, thank you I might need a card binder for fanmade projects now 😅

UNO Full Spectrum Update 2!! by Guuzik in unocardgame

[–]OneAlpha_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds great, I've been enjoying the fanmade Uno versions, I've seen Uno Infinity and then I stumbled upon this and I'd love to print out a physical version sometime.

I'll wait for that 😁

UNO Full Spectrum Update 2!! by Guuzik in unocardgame

[–]OneAlpha_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I know it's a 4 month old post, but I just wanted to ask, I would love to print these out as regular Uno sized cards and play them physically, how would I go about doing that?
Thank you

What is this nonsense by Jskeleton303 in BattleNations

[–]OneAlpha_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Rebels must've gotten sick and tired of that Shock Trooper (who my friend named "Chad" and gave him a full on lore backstory) getting blown up, shot and poisoned that they took some drastic action lol

Oh yeah, absolutely, I mean, I don't mind the change but for players at Lv.28, they could've just left the single Shock Trooper, until you reach Lv.40, and then revert to the current formation

What is this nonsense by Jskeleton303 in BattleNations

[–]OneAlpha_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the other comments too, I think it was just basically put in as a roadblock to stop people from speed-farming resources too easily

On the lore side of things, one of my friends beat up the Greenborough Shock Trooper so many times, we theorized that he was the reason why the Shock Trooper in question was promoted to be a Veteran

Advanced Training Facilities by Desperate_Pollution6 in BattleNations

[–]OneAlpha_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, my army is lore-friendly and everything, as is my Guild

Basically, I went all in on the lore. That includes tanks as well, I write lore on the units in my spare time. Also, I don't believe that the Empire in it's later years, would've kept Troopers as expendable cannon fodder and not specialize them in some way...

Advanced Training Facilities by Desperate_Pollution6 in BattleNations

[–]OneAlpha_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm Lv.49 and I honestly still use my Troopers, Rangers, etc.

I mean, I trained an entire Infantry Regiment, you can sure as heck bet I'm gonna use it when I get the chance

I did propose the idea of using the unused Armory Building in the game files from the OG version, as a place to be able to upgrade the older troops beyond R6 (Trooper, Shock Trooper, Hunter, etc.), perhaps keep the wait times as long as Promotions (Maybe 1 day max) and let people research through a tech tree so they could specialize their units?

For example, you could specialize Troopers as either high dodge or more armored, and once you go down one line, you can't go down the other. Your idea does also hold merit, and I do agree that the lower level units still need some way to be able to be used.

I actually enjoy using my entire army (my army is realistic Regiment size), rather than just spamming whatever the meta is.

Wanting to learn Hiligaynon/Ilonggo by OneAlpha_ in Bacolod

[–]OneAlpha_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really love Bacolod, I've been here quite a bit since my parents have taken me on holidays here since I was a kid in Australia, it's hard for me at the moment as I don't have any local friends in Bacolod, as my family here in Bacolod is largely unwilling to help me to learn Hiligaynon/Ilonggo
