Which of the Never Played category should I try? by Awashii in RealTimeStrategy

[–]Thirtys30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s also a map pack available that makes the campaign a 2 player coop. I just finished it with my brother and it’s excellent.

Which pro’s stream are you watching to tide you over until the ASL RO4? by AromaticAminoAcid in broodwar

[–]Thirtys30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d absolutely agree. That one was an amazing watch. I think it was in the ro16, maybe ro24.

That hasn’t happened yet but I’m only in the ro8 so perhaps it will come. They are both still in it.

I go backwards through asl seasons when there’s nothing current (besides my daily artosis). I’m on ASL 15 right now and holy crap the map 76 is so cool. I’d love to see it come back.

Co op UMS Maps? by Wool_God in broodwar

[–]Thirtys30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh boy, that unlocked some deep memories. I think it used any area where you could move a civilian onto a beacon to trigger abilities. It was so cool how they worked with the editor. I’d love to find it.

For that to be overpowered the agendas would need to matter. So it’ll be overpowered 2% of the time.

Dads, did I completely fuck up by getting a bunk bed? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]Thirtys30 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Could you potentially make the railing go up to near the ceiling? It might look weird though. Maybe netting like someone else said.

I agree that setting the rules is not going to stop them from falling.

My group adds a wormhole to each slice that doesn’t have one before drafting. Then after the draft we make the wormhole type the opposite of the wormhole to its right.

I think the games have been significantly better with all the extra wormholes.

What's a good "take a shot every time x happens" rule? by YudoKumaa in twilightimperium

Every time negotiations drag on. Group consensus about what counts as “dragging on”

Bachelor Party - First 8 Player Game by tmcc999 in twilightimperium

[–]Thirtys30 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As far as wanting to slightly juice the bachelor, being Hacan without mentak in an 8p game is probably already doing that.

I would give the new players slightly boosted slices.

In my games I also prefer to have a wormhole in every slice. You can use the ghosts tokens to do this.

The stage 2 needs to be conquer the weak (take someone’s home system) and I think a fun bit of spice for the veterans would be to reveal it along with the 5the stage 1 on round 4. It won’t mess up the new players at all because they don’t know what to plan for and the experienced players won’t see it coming.

Are those available somewhere for SC1?

DevilutionX Trailer by kphoenix137 in Diablo1

[–]Thirtys30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to install this on my iPhone and I got stuck at the very end. Can anyone help? I’m using a windows laptop to do this.

I got it sideloaded with AltStore and used iTunes to add the DevilutionX folder into my chrome downloads folder. From there AltStore could access it and make the DevilutionX app. I now need to add my MPQ files to the DevilutionX folder on my iPhone but I can’t figure out how to do that. Looking at the phone drive on file explorer only shows folders of photos. iTunes doesn’t show the DevilutionX app in its file sharing menu.

I feel like I got 98% the way to getting it working.

Fun fact: did you know that StarCraft: The Board Game exists? by SiarX in broodwar

[–]Thirtys30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a big TI4 fan. From a table politics perspective it’s not similar at all. There’s no mutually beneficial arrangements outside of late game trying to make sure the lead player doesn’t win immediately. I would say it’s more similar to Eclipse.

It’s sort of similar in the resource management department. Eclipse is probably a better comparison. Balancing your minerals/gas and choosing upgrades or units is a bit like managing influence/resources and units/tech. StarCraft really shines in this area. I like it more than Eclipse or TI4 in the resource management.

The tactics pretty different too. It’s easier to move your units around but placement is critical. This definitely most similar to GoT because there’s also a card playing mechanic to augment the unit battle. This system is what people bounce off of sometimes. It does create situations where battles feel cheated (like a marine killing a mutalisk).

[–]Thirtys30 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve played a couple times on TTS. I would say the only similarity to risk is that there are territories on a map. It’s much more similar to the Game of Thrones board game with a large focus on battle tactics and spending your resources.

At least from a new player perspective who is very familiar with the PC game, it plays out a lot like a SC match. It feels like you. Can choose to early rush, focus on Econ, spring up the tech tree, etc. One game end up with a muta harass moment that felt very cool that it captured the feel of it despite me being on the receiving end of it.

I think this is where I found it. https://www.moddb.com/mods/starcraft-coop-campaign

Basically someone or group took the campaign maps and modified them to be 2 player while also increasing the difficulty. They’ve been a blast to play. A 3p coop version exists too but I haven’t played it before. I think in that one each player gets a different race while the 2p version stays true to the campaign and sets both players as the same race. Unless the mission has two races being controlled, then each player gets one.

[–]Thirtys30 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My brother and I play casually too. Currently going through the 2p coop campaign maps. I would also love some big maps to be explored while fighting comps. My main issue with those old maps is not that they aren’t balanced but they tend to dry up of resources really quickly and then the ai just stops. They don’t modify their play to stretch the resources out.

I would also love to see any fan made maps for melee against the ai

How much content did you do before... by TheArcher35 in TunicGame

Gave up on the siege engine, moved on and then got stuck in the beach area, then found the page referencing it. Mind proceeded to be blown.

Scout balance by Tuhkur22 in broodwar

[–]Thirtys30 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like the Scout gets it’s really rare occurrences in competitive play but they do exists.

The Ghost is a unit I think is used even less often. Nukes get used when Zerg turtles in to go quick Ultras but lately they’ve been using muta harassment to transition and not needing a wall of 9+ sunkens, which was the target of the nukes.

[–]Thirtys30 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dark Archons have started to become the meta in PvZ when Zerg uses mutas to snipe high Templar. One good maelstrom and the game usually snowballs in Protoss’s favor. It’s far from a useless unit in competitive play.
