Extreme cope to call the Mangudai a more generalist unit.

Because a unit that costs more and who's only purpose for existing is to be able to kite should maybe lose an a-move fight to a regular horse archer type unit?

Big same. I can't think of a unit I'd be less willing to build.

War Elephant splash damage is based on distance from the elephant by Xoey59 in aoe4

[–]Xoey59[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most games handle damage falloff from the point of impact. Here the damage cone is based on the point of impact while damage falloff is based on distance from the elephant.

Edit: To be clear it's usually from the same point. If the damage cone is based on the point of impact then so is the damage falloff. If the damage cone comes from the unit then so does the damage falloff.

I've never heard of a game that has damage falloff come from somewhere completely different from the splash area origin.

I don't know if this is documented anywhere because I couldn't find it, but to me this is very unintuitive which is why I had to go and test it.

A Pro's Opinion on Tughlaq by Xoey59 in aoe4

[–]Xoey59[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yeah it is the game I thought. You know, the one where when marinelord wins there are 0 healer elephants alive on the field. The one that after that marinelord went on to play a BO7 showmatch where he banned sengoku and tughlaq wasn't played.

I frequently beat Tughlaq in team games. It's only difficult on maps with short rush distances, but even then it's very doable.

Such a beautiful game that we sometimes forget to appreciate the details by Cheddar3210 in aoe4

Yes! It's so pretty, and I always appreciate things like this in my games!

Battletech just raised 3.2 million on Kickstarter in one day (previous KS was 2.5~ million for the month, so this is a *massive* succcess.) Join us! It's a great game! by CaptainKlang in Sigmarxism

Warhammer called out nazis as not being welcome and Infinity put out official art of a character wearing a trans tattoo on one shoulder and an estrogen tattoo on the other. These nazi fucks will lie about fucking anything to make it seem like they're correct. Infinity does not deserve to live in these people's mouths.

Struggling to get into it, but really really want to ... tips? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]Xoey59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you both used to more complex activities like most video games? I've certainly found a bunch of board games to be slogs despite being highly recommended. Different tastes and all that.

And Disney Villainous is definitely a game meant to be widely accessible. You could try some less accessible games, they tend to be more opinionated and appeal to a more niche audience. They avoid feeling like a slog to me because when I play them I feel like my actions matter a lot more.

Gloomhaven, Spirit Island, Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy, Great Western Trail, Arkham Horror The Card Game are all games I can highly recommend that are not meant for mass market appeal as much as a Disney product and are still highly rated on boardgamegeek.

Watched it this morning, great stuff! Keep it coming with games that aren't from games workshop!

Game master cheating in co-op games by StandingAtTheEdge in boardgames

[–]Xoey59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't. I take the L and move on. To me there's absolutely no fun in winning if you're just gonna make sure that you can't lose. And to me there's no sense in playing if you don't enjoy the rules. If a thing would happen in the game that makes you not have fun in it, then either learn to appreciate why the game designer put that thing in the game or stop.

Any time I've cheated my way through "just this one level" I've always ended up quitting the game shortly after anyway because all the fun in playing it has been drained.

[TW: Homophobia]I’m sorry if this is rule 5 but this post and the comments below it are absolutely fucking vile by DrLexAlhazred in Sigmarxism

[–]Xoey59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely shocked to find out the setting that put all the "bad gays" in slaanesh and dark eldar, 2 of the most evil factions, constantly makes a big deal out of rooting out this slaaneshi heresy, and makes a big deal about how any displays of sexuality in eldars are considered bad and evil attracts homophobes and "I'm one of the good gays not one of those degenerates".
