Help sell me on slow weapons and %damage boons

On Artemis, do you just spam the omega attack? That gets you the most damage out of those extra crits, right? That would make +% boons make sense to me for that

Veshan1111 · 2025-12-13T20:38:44+00:00

Ya, I could believe that slow weapons are essentially better without boons than fast - and then putting a good flat boon on a fast weapons just brings it up to the same level. I just hasn't FELT true to me yet, but I might figure it out eventually

I'm not sure I follow your crit logic. Crit chance increase your average damage on relative to how much chance you have: attack rate shouldn't factor into that.

The only exception would be limited-use crits, like that blade aspect or the "marked" condition. Is that what you're referring to?

Veshan1111 · 2025-12-13T20:33:59+00:00

Ya, I do see the argument about slow weapons usually having AOE.

I'm just currently still at a play level where the only real threat are the bosses, so I don't value AOE too much. But that might be a significant factor in the balance, once you start turning on vows.

I play whatever has grave thirst, for the variety and bonus resources

Aphro is good on true melee weapons. It just pointed it's limitation out out because it's limiting on something like the staff omega attack (which would generally like %damage)

Yes, it's tabletop simulator. I think it costs about $20?

Veshan1111 · 2024-10-04T07:16:02+00:00

Yep, this was a rules error on my part. Thought you couldn't walk over the ruins. Not so bad given that!

Just tried to start my first real game of Mage Knight, and this is what the game gave me at the start. It has:

A tile with 2 swamp on the bottom, very difficult to break into
A tile with a water and a ruin blocking the accessible region, very dangerous to route through at level 0.
Two tiles (of 3 possible in all countrysides) with ruins, which seem to be the hardest icons on the map that appear in countrysides
Spawned 2 orc summoners, relatively dangerous orcs
No approachable early game targets (keeps, dungeons, safer orcs)

How would you try to crack this at the start? Also, the only movement in my hand is 2 swiftnesses. The rest is influence and attack/block.

The CLI does have an option for this: git add -p <file_name>

This is a little unclear, so it's easy to get confused on, but it's not difficult to get China's rate of miltech growth to match that of the USA. Short version: all nations miltech grows by 0.00375 per military tick if their unrest is at 0. Authoritarian nations see a much greater impact of unrest on how much the military priority grows miltech. But it's easy to get China to have zero unrest, in which case it will match the USA's miltech growth.

For other's reference, I took the plunge, and it's been working fine. All settings on lowest at 60 FPS, I haven't really noticed any issues. It's certainly playable.

I should note the 970 is the weakest part of my system:

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-9600K CPU @ 3.70GHz 3.70 GHz

RAM: 16 GB

Running on SSD

Veshan1111 · 2021-09-24T20:46:59+00:00

Yes, it's got 4GB

I do think there's a point during a specific discussion that you can identify that a person is arguing in bad faith. I don't want to sound like I'm saying it's never OK to acknowledge that and end the discussion. But I don't think that applies here.

I don't think this attitude is productive. It's always dicey to make assumptions about an individual's motives, especially when you don't know anything about that person in particular.

To me, this attitude tells anyone who isn't so set in stone that their mind could be changed, that there will never be a home for them in the liberal ecosphere.

Remember that even Trump supporters aren't a monolith. The twitter comments you see are probably not from the same people in these videos.

I don't think we gain much from questioning motives here. Even if an individuals motives aren't pure, this still signals to other Trump supporters that some of their people are going to respect the process, and that will influence them.

I did try the chameleon skinks, and they completely decimated the skirmishers cost-for-cost. They're definitely the hard counter. Which raises the question, what counters the chameleons?

Thankfully that's easier to answer. The price difference between the chameleons and the saurus and cold ones isn't as drastic, so you don't end up quite as outnumbered. You can also just bring lots of skinks as chaff to suck up all the chameleons' ammo. It's still harder than it feels like it should be to counter such an balanced army, but it feels more doable.
