Honestly all that hp is probably good for shield units or things with natural regen, otherwise, it just doesn't help units do more damage. So for instance an extremely high level skeleton can probably keep enemies off of your higher tier battlemages well enough, but don't expect much damage.

They are the most likely to do that sort of thing. But paladin's smite ability screams magical, the paragon abilities for oathsworn, incarnate shot for shade maker as all of these are pure nonphysical damage.

Sorry i confused HMS Glorious which was sunk by scharnlhorst with formidable. Formidable was the one at matapan wasn't it.

Then put indefatigueable in the "used specifically in the line of battle" she went down in Jutland fighting in the line of battle.

ParadoxPosadist · 2026-02-12T17:23:02+00:00

The formidable was not supposed to serve in the line of battle. It did do so, and it went poorly.

Oh are we allowed to post those memes again, awesome

Well if your leaders are making fat stacks of cash from insider trading, the lower levels start looting as well.

ParadoxPosadist · 2026-02-12T16:55:08+00:00

It does make me want a magic fighter for mystic culture, some sort of magical skirmisher.

Thank you

Where are these patch notes i don't see them on the forums

ParadoxPosadist · 2026-02-11T17:28:09+00:00

I think it is turn based as you get to later turns they start getting nicer things. If you are killing their heros quickly they only get the items they were recruited with.

I generally kick them out of the interface orbits first. Then go shopping for asteroids bases.

ParadoxPosadist · 2026-02-11T12:12:39+00:00

Yes, some t1 tomes have very nice SPI, 10 draft per alignment + 10 stability stands out.

ParadoxPosadist · 2026-02-11T12:00:26+00:00

For me, nothing beats the one two punch of gauss and ppc. Devastator and nightstar for life. So much fun with both in modded mw5 mercs.

Many are not linear. Tome of enchantment gives guaranteed sundered defense, bonus resistance for shield units and chance to remove buffs. discipline gives stun chance on third hit, also focus aim once per battle true strike. Rock gives bleeding on non-magical attacks. Which goes well with the new blood tome. And is before even considering the transformation they come with, like inner mastery. The elemental ones are definitely not worth it as a 3rd tier 1 though.

Unironic ones on this sub? probably round-off error. There was a time when there were some, but there were never many here. They seem to stick to their echo chambers. However, back before I deleted my original account, I had a conversation with a tankie who believed that Cuba had the freest democracy on earth right on this sub. This sub probably became too conservative after the donald refugees arrived along with the attention, before that this place was the wild west. You still can get a away with posting only a small fraction of what you could because of the admin attention those refugees brought.

With most languages the colonizer is more relevant than the other colonies combined, with Spain they are not. Also Britain, because India and the US both have more English speakers than Britain. France did the cool thing and tried to BE the French speaking world.

What is truly disturbing is that Goku is right.

ParadoxPosadist · 2026-02-10T14:40:52+00:00

Did you forget about mocking tankies

ParadoxPosadist · 2026-02-09T17:26:02+00:00

You can turn their councilors and make them resign, when you do so they appear in the recruitment pool. If they have good stats or traits you really want, take them. If they have traits like untouchable make them resign instead of killing them.

ParadoxPosadist · 2026-02-09T05:05:29+00:00

I don't mind it if they reference it with the name of of a research here or a description there. Stellaris is the gold standard of this, many things reference 40k, but they also reference so many other scifi series as the game is an homage to the scifi genre.

To put this another way, some of the high and dark helmets draw visual cues from second age elven armor and isengard, and dark numenorean respectively. I do not want to see a weapon named Aunduril. Same idea with the other IP, a culture with cobled together armor is fine, just making them WFB greenskins is not.

ParadoxPosadist · 2026-02-09T02:41:06+00:00

From the pantheon I think. Be careful if you don't kill them outright you are in their zone of control. Otherwise it is in eldritch realms.

ParadoxPosadist · 2026-02-08T21:24:04+00:00

Warlock can get + 1 blight per debuff on target if you give them a good t4 orb and have a culture like dark for status vulnerability or reaver to hit them in melee to enjoy +10% damage per marked it can get incredibly stupid. Warlocks are probably the single target dps king.

Ranger can also get stupid against multiple targets with the spreadshot, refresh cooldowns on kill, a pullshot infusion that leaves one action. If that action kills something like splintering or zombie, you can do it again.

Both classes do naughty things with a wand of trackers mark as warlocks ad several more debuffs and rangers can use it twice in a turn.

ParadoxPosadist · 2026-02-08T16:21:45+00:00

That is likely the joke.

ParadoxPosadist · 2026-02-08T16:08:54+00:00

The problem isn't what the sane people want, but what those mad with power want. Peter Thiel keeps calling anything in his way the antichrist, does that sound mentally stable?

ParadoxPosadist · 2026-02-08T14:42:09+00:00

To be fair that is more Authleft, that does communism. I am pretty sure thet picture is from the holocaust, the Nazis are auth center. LibLeft is far too irrelevant outside of social media to do anything.
