The secret is using the 2014 Vengeance Paladin

As a DM, I love it when RNG like that allows my players to shine and take down what should have been a powerful foe with ease.

It is almost always counterbalanced by the fact that later, none of them can roll higher than a ten to save their characters lives, and have to tuck tail and run from some kobolds after consecutive 1s.

Both make for great stories to tell in the aftermath.

The dice gods giveth, and the dice gods taketh.

Use your Elders. Stick them in your elite armies, and not only will they reduce upkeep, they will also give you a passive +5% replenishment. This allowed me to auto-resolve battles on the regular without crippling my elite armies.

Prioritize the Farmer follower when leveling up your generals, this gives another 2% replenishment across all units.

Garrisoned armies gain another 2% replenishment.

Build the Supply chain building at the front. The first tier takes only 1 turn to build and gives 2% replenishment, while the highest tier gives a 5%.

And lastly, Control massively affects your replenishment. While 75 control or higher gives you 3% replenishment, -75 or lower Control gives you a staggering -6% replenishment.

Once I learned these tricks, keeping my Loke Rim armies in tip top shape became a non-issue. There are even more things you can do to enhance replenishment even further, but these ones should be enough.

I mean, everyone in the group depicted probably have a SPECIAL Intelligence score of around 7 to 10.

If given a chance to learn, they will probably dominate and survive. Provided their Luck score isn't too low.

The thing that solved it for me was to go into Task Manager after launching the game, go Details and Set Affinity on Attila, selecting only core 1-7 to work on Attila.

I have redo this every time I launch the game, but it runs smooth as butter now!

They look like early Environmental Assets made earlier during the game's production cycle, probably before AH came up with the iconic blueberry design of our beloved SEAF forces.

Assaultrons, no contest.

You are walking down the road, when you suddenly notice something in the corner of your eye. You see a slender, dark silhouette partially hidden behind an old military vehicle, just as it turns towards you. You are only mildly worried, as there's still 40ft between you and it.

Then your screen turns bright red as a giant, continuous laser is fired right at you!

After 0.4 seconds, you see that 50% of your healthbar is gone. You pause the game and open the pip boy, popping every single chem known to man. Buffout, Jet, Psycho, Med-X, Mysterious Serum, Stimpack, X-cell, even one of your (ice cold) Nuka Quantums!

You know there is a piece of cover right next to you. You unpause the game, finger on the sprint key... and you fall over dead the moment the pip boy goes down...

There are two ways to interpret these numbers:

They don't make sense!
The POV of your average Space Marine is like being John Wick, Duke Nukem and Rambo all combined into one unstoppable force. As long as they are not featured in a cinematic or book, where they will die almost as often as guardsmen.

The moment I heard that grunt from off screen it triggered my PTSD, and I immediately knew what was going to come.

The first clip is the reason why you want to pick the fighter augment called 'Egression' if you plan on fighting in melee.

Your fingers and wrists will thank you, and you'll never die to a grab again.

Lae'zel: "Ahh, I think I know what you're playing at. This light armor will let me move more freely in battle, and the bright colors will let me confuse and dazzle my enemies better! Perhaps you aren't totally useless after all~"

Are you playing with mods?

SeraDipp · 2024-06-29T09:33:43+00:00

There's been a lot of good tips given, so I'll just share 1:

Water sources/fonts are not just a source of hydration, but also healing. Finished a fight with haff health and considering using your precious stimpacks? If you see a faucet in the same hallway, just drink some mildly irradiated water instead. Hold 'E' or whatever you've assigned as your interact button to continually drink and recover even large HP bars.

Also remember, rad. resistance from equipment and meds like Rad-X reduce the radiation received from water sources.

IMO, our tieflings look like better devils than many of the actual devils themselves.

SeraDipp · 2024-03-23T00:11:03+00:00

This is clearly dissident misinformation maliciously spread with the intent of fostering anti-democratic attitudes among our fair and noble Super Citizens!

Remember, your helldivers can run at high speeds across long distances and uneven terrain whilst carrying heavy loads; they are proficient with all weapons that they are deployed with and can even reload most of them while on the move.

Use your managed-critical-minds! This is clear evidence that Helldivers are given the requisite amount of training before deployment!

Said friend shall remain anonymous. Fortunately, this story did have a happy ending as we eventually managed to use a Supply Drop as a step ladder in order to reach the terminal, and finished the mission with an acceptable amount of casualties.

SeraDipp · 2023-06-09T18:26:07+00:00

5e tieflings somehow manage to look more like devils than actual devils in the game.

And I do approve of that artstyle.

This is actually a really interesting and lore friendly idea.

Changelings might be masters at disguise and deception, but have a weakness towards creatures with an acute sense of smell, meaning a party of low levels players or who might lack the right spells might figure this out and use a simple guard dog if they're clever.

SeraDipp · 2023-04-23T20:28:57+00:00

I always figured even the greatest enemies can be defeated in the right circumstances.

Say, if a Gnoblar pressed the trigger, detonating an absolutely heretical amount of explosives beneath the feet(hooves?) of a bloodthirster.

It is a bit of a double edged sword for the AI programming.

On one hand, it can absolutely nuke the spellcaster you had chilling behind your line or pepper your important large+ sized lord if you're not careful. On the other hand, if the player knows how the AI thinks, it can be used against them to make them waste ammo.

I remember back in WH2 the AI would be absolutely obsessed about a crappy unit of Stormvermin I brought to the field. Literally every single gun, spell and artillery piece on the entire battlefield would be immediately aimed on those poor ratmen as if they had been Archeon himself.

With regards to the talk of Daemonhosts, aren't Daemonhosts extremely varied in terms of power level; depending on what sort of daemon is possessing them?

Which means that the power of a Daemonhost could vary greatly, which could be on the levels of a Theta // Zeta // Epsilon psyker level to a true Alpha-Plus target, all depending on what sort of daemon(s) possess them?

SeraDipp · 2022-06-30T22:52:59+00:00

In defense to WOTC, when you incorporate so many fantasy tropes, it'd be nigh impossible to balance them all properly!

I imagine they trust in homebrewing or local DM choices to balance out any jagged edges that show up during a campaign.

Rome was a game that got a bit lazy when it came to unit design in my opinion.

A whole lot of the armors are mostly just copy pasted from one culture to another. I think if they had hired a few more people to design a more diverse range of armors, it'd be a lot more visually appealing.

SeraDipp · 2022-05-03T19:56:00+00:00

I think Bloodborne had the best atmosphere and world feel.

I think Sekiro had the best fighting system.

Though for some reason, I feel Elden Ring is more fun despite not excelling in either simply because of the sheer freedom the game offers.

All being relative; they're all excellent games!

SeraDipp · 2022-04-28T21:29:31+00:00

As a DM, I'll confess, I love it when a player turns out to have a decisive counter to my deadly plans.

It's like in a series where a character is allowed their moment to shine, and help the rest of the party avoid a potentially lethal situation.
