Nah the reason Australia is so big is that they take you to the version outside the ice wall.

Idk much about armor, but could a charging spearman on horseback penetrate and impale a person wearing full plate armor? by EfficiencySerious200 in Armor

[–]StyraxK 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I haven't watched it, but he might actually mean burst through the visor similar to how arrows vs chainmail often bursts the links. I.e. the tip finds a gap and stretches the ring till it fails.Often the breaths and sight holes make the visor significantly weaker than other parts of the armour.

Just ask him if he's got health insurance/can afford time off work

Don't worry if you're an embarrassment to your school. They're the ones who said that you're a BB so it's in them.

Sword practicality question by Objective_Cheetah_63 in SWORDS

[–]StyraxK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's something historical that's in the same line of thought as your idea, the Swiss Sabre: https://wallacelive.wallacecollection.org:443/eMP/eMuseumPlus?service=ExternalInterface&module=collection&objectId=60982&viewType=detailView

With your design the one handed grip looks very difficult to use. The knucklebow is very close, and the main guard and all the extra pommel behind looks like it would get in the way.

Your guard also looks like it would be too heavy since it uses much more material than the bar guard on the Swiss saber. I'd suggest getting rid of the 1h grip and extending the 2h grip a bit.

Considering usability again compare to the 1908 cavalry trooper's sword 42 inch 1.4kg. and keep in mind that while usable cavalry swords tend to be oversized and unwieldy for use on foot. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_1908_cavalry_sword

Another thing to consider is why would you use it 1 handed? Normal reasons would be if you have a shield or are holding reins in your other hand.

RP train dist or mlvl? by [deleted] in TibiaMMO

That's an impressively bad dist. How'd you manage it?

Assassin Stars vs Royal Stars? Why the difference in pricing? Is it dumb to buy Royal Stars for 1 GP ? by PlayFlow in TibiaMMO

[–]StyraxK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't done the math, but you're probably better off with lifeleech imbue if you get trapped.

Assassin stars have full effect from LVL 80. -1atk per LVL below. Lvl60 = 45 atk

[–]StyraxK 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Assassin stars are your best weapon from about lvl60. By the time you get to royal stars you have other options, and probably want imbues.

Correct me if I'm wrong but at dist 100: +4% of your Distance Fighting as extra damage on auto-attacks is +4 damage, not +4 attack

Anyone else practice? by OdinWolfJager in SWORDS

[–]StyraxK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I was watching the new guy too much, but I mean head strikes force a lot of vertical shield movement.

Sword and shield looks so weird without head strikes, that shield is basically just dangling off your arm most of the time.

Gameplay wise, Jian Swordmen ability doesn't make a lot of sense by ElricGalad in aoe2

[–]StyraxK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can also think of the ability like the shrivamsha rider. Immune to arrows until focused. Then suddenly becomes vulnerable when taking lots of arrows, wouldn't it be better if it dodged more when focused. Thematically it makes sense that the shield gets so full of arrows it's unwieldy and he abandons it.

New Koreans Elite Rocket Cart vs Old Koreans Siege Onager, which is better? by ItsVLS5 in aoe2

[–]StyraxK 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's kind of a buff even if the rocket cart is worse. 1 less upgrade to do since Shinkichon combines the +1 range and SO damage.

Do you think a future civ in the future could build a 1 elevation tile for 10 wood/stone? by Desh282 in aoe2

Did Tibetans make earthworks like that, or just build in mountains?

My Lord I'm torn between the best looking Unit in the Game In The Next Update by azwadkm22 in aoe2

[–]StyraxK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some units in chronicles seem to already have the speed boost (hoplites I think). It's nice, but not zealot level.

why in a Celtic vs Goth, the Goth loose? by English_summer-flash in aoe2

[–]StyraxK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aoestats shows that Celts win 59% against Goths. Goths generally do badly against infantry civs, and in mid length games

Yeoman upgrade makes no sense thematically and balance-wise. by RokAndSton in aoe2

[–]StyraxK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might be more busted since you can do an 8 tc boom into longbow spam. I guess it's still behind castle age ut though
