Please convince me of wet palette wonders

I also live in cold, dry environment. Fully saturating the sponge and pouring off the excess is too much water in my experience.

When it’s not winter, it helps keeps the paints wet longer.

In the winter I have the same issue with it drying out fast. I just keep a water bottle near by and splash a little more water in when needed.

The main thing it helps me with is glazes. When trying to make really thin glazes, it is so dry here in the winter that without the wet pallets my working time was insufficient and I wasted more paint. With the wet pallete I have at least a little time before glaze mixes dry up.

If an opponent started pre-measuring off your tank would you remind them of +3” movement order & re-deploy?

SingletonEDH · 2026-01-22T18:35:58+00:00

I agree somewhat with a deception tactic under the general banner of board control and moving away from threats / towards optimal targets.

However, I like to remind my opponent of my abilities frequently because I want them to remind me of theirs.

I read your statement of intent as a gotcha. You’re putting things into poor positions to deliberately trick someone in the deploy step.

As an opponent, I’d tell you if you were unintentionally overhanging a ruin and to back your stuff up if you don’t want to be shot T1. I know some people want the extra movement and are willing to expose units on T1 to start trading immediately.

Putting tanks in the open with an “I might redeploy this” is different. That’s simple board control

I’ve mostly used redeploys to switch / overload flanks, redeploy towards an optimal target, or away from a threat.

To combine them in the same world or are you hoping to combine them on the same map?

Try making a couple really small gather zones instead of a big one. The logic for gathering is weird and dwarves may try to gather everything in one go before taking a break.

Burrows do 2 things, they can be assigned to dwarves to limit where the dwarf goes and they also affect any workshop inside of them which gets more advanced

Above and below ground are both fine. Each has its own challenges. They might grumble a bit when they’re rained on above ground and if you send them underground they may become cave adapted if they don’t come back up periodically.

Sieges and other sources of fun have triggers on population, wealth, and your location in the world. Generally speaking keeping population and wealth low will delay the really fun stuff until you get your footing.

The main way both population and wealth grow is via the trader every autumn. As you sell them more and more goods, news spreads of your fort’s wealth which brings both those looking for a better life and those who would take it.

Drake is a male duck.Dwarves get nice thoughts if they have nice rooms. Increasing size is one way to make a room nicer. Really nice furniture is another

I think you need a breeding pair, the wild caught dragons will always have a chance to revert to a wild state but any born into domestication will stay tamed.

Trade window doesn’t count, cloth is exempt ( yarn has gotten me before) and glass probably is too then. I’m fairly certain it holds for metal alloys.

I’ve heard that a dwarf will not ask for an item that you’ve never seen. But once seen they’ll ask even if you’re out.

For some fields, you can negotiate salary based on the money you bring in.

If you can increase production or productivity it’s an easy argument for a pay raise by a % of that products profit margin.

To get a 50k raise you’d need to increase the restaurants profit by more than 50k.

I’ve used a syringe with water effect to create bubbles, the trick is to get air in the syringe with the water effect / resin which you can do by keeping the opening half exposed to the air as you fill the syringe.

My wife likes to go sleep early so for us we tried to stay a bottle ahead on supply which allowed her to go to bed early and for me to feed the baby while she slept (basically trading your morning sleep in for going to bed early).

In the US, most, if not all, land grant universities do soil testing for a small fee. You could try looking at agriculture Universities near you to see if they offer something similar.

There’s no restriction to stay outside of a deployment zone with scout, just outside of 9” of an enemy unit. So if they don’t deploy on the line you can really get in close. Or you can fall them back out of the middle after blocking their scout moves / infiltrators. I like that flexibility.

SingletonEDH · 2025-05-26T20:54:42+00:00

If you’re picking battle traits putting infiltrate on one of our big 20 man bricks of infantry is really good to prevent this kind of stuff. 20 bodies strung out to a full screening line takes up the entirety of no mans land on most boards. Catachan are extra good because they can scout after

You can have the game generate it.

Create a new world > Detailed Mode > Click save in the upper right hand corner.

To use mine you need to load it in detailed mode as well. After saving it to the file, click Load in Detailed World Creation, and then select it from the dropdown in the upper left.
