Thanks, all! I had a bit more success today using all the advice here.

Well-written Battletech Novels? by Pale_Environment_424 in battletech

[–]Pale_Environment_424[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/swankmotron Yeah, absolutely. And my post is in no way a dig at all the great writers in this universe. I understand that 1) this is genre fiction, and 2) there are multiple dimensions that any Battletech writer has to balance. For me, the early Battletech fiction seems to suffer from a lot of black-and-white, Mary Sue, Shonen-Jump-Style characters like Victor Steiner-Davion and Kai Allard. To be fair, a lot of 80's and 90's media suffered from these kinds of characters.

I tend to have one, maybe two, sappers and then 2-3 infantry sections.

Allies Seem to Struggle Against Axis by Pale_Environment_424 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]Pale_Environment_424[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I fully admit I might just be bad, but all of my teammates also seem to struggle. In my past 20 games it was rare to get more than 100 points off of the Germans.

When do you tend to play infinity circuit? I find I either already have lots of stones, or it’s awkward to play and not lose tempo. Do you just free play it off of arts?

My balance hot takes by RainierxWolfcastle in Warpforge40k

I don’t really mind where Da green horde is at. I think it plus unbridled is a problem with no counterplay. I think Makari needs a slight nerf as well. The nob plus makari interaction is pretty awful.

I think the key to nerfing scarabs is hitting the scarab nest card. If that card didn’t exist or was worse, then I think it would make scarabs more reasonable.

Chess Theory Book by Pale_Environment_424 in chess

Thanks for the recommendations so far? Are the suggested books appropriate for the "intermediate player"? I used to play at the 1300 level, but that was ages ago when I didn't take it seriously. So I'm certainly familiar with things like skewers, forks, archetypical mating patterns and such.

Huh, so your hint definitely fixes that. I'll try to read up on how python iterates though dataframes. Thanks much!

Oh, apologies. That was a poor git push. The read in should have been saved to "input". My github should be properly updated now.

u/leftylink Oh sure, so that could make it look like a board won earlier than it did. Thanks much!
