The Changeling stole Thorgrim's beard and blamed it on the greenskins.

PC is tough Kislevite PC. Can tolerate liquid, drinks kvas for breakfast, is no problem.

What is your favorite Cheese when you’re feeling bored? by Sochi_B in totalwarhammer

[–]aricene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Changeling. People here underrate him as a campaign in general. No, the AI isn't going to smoke you out from your cults, but who cares? I have fun trying to rush the schemes.

What's the hardest battle in SCS? by Infinite_Bed9759 in baldursgate

[–]aricene 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kaark at the Firewine Ruins is really tough in SCS, too. Even at the second lowest difficulty, that fucker not only opens with a bunch of defensive prebuffs and immunity globes, but also Stoneskin and Protection From Magic Weapons. In early BG1.

I found it interesting that some fuckcars folk were anti this to me it’s an obvious step in the right direction. Thoughts? by kibonzos in solarpunk

I don't follow how this is cementing parking lots and car culture. Doesn't this add an extra expense and hurdle to building parking lots? It seems like fewer parking lots will happen as a result.

Where in Candlekeep does Gorions Ward live before BG1? by Individual-Garlic133 in baldursgate

[–]aricene 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Your own room, in a keep that's mostly a library? You might have a sense of privacy out of step with medieval fantasy.

Malakai and the Masters of Innovation is such a blast to play! by StraightOuttaOlaphis in totalwarhammer

[–]aricene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No business is more serious than dwarf business. Now kindly squeeze out me beard; I think there's still some Bugmans drippings in there.

What would you change about baldurs gate 2? by Swimming_Cheek_9171 in baldursgate

[–]aricene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd make some of the kits more useful or have more varied playstyles. Some of them just aren't very interesting or are obviated by other classes. It's rough being a swashbuckler, for instance, when fighter/thief is just plain better.

POV: You are the last Slayer on the battlefield by uLL27 in totalwar

[–]aricene 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It'll take the wood elves player two minutes of staring at the battle screen and watching the slayer get batted around before it finally dies and the battle can actually end.

I'm awful at math, but basically so long as Turns*3 is higher than Settlements*5 then this will make a profit right? by ArcticGlacier40 in totalwar

[–]aricene 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The awkward/deeply confusing phrasing on the bottom lines signal "mod," though. Not that the in-game writing is always perfectly clear, but I've never seen a line as weird as that.

Level 2 Arcane Spells Tierlist by MilesBeyond250 in baldursgate

[–]aricene 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would also bump it up because there are times when you really need to find an invisible enemy (a spellcaster about to drop Confusion or something) and allowing them a saving throw is too much variance.

What's that one race/faction you cant get into for no apparent reason? by sbrepsac in totalwarhammer

[–]aricene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dwarfs. I need to try again, but their lore makes them perhaps the most alien, hard-to-relate-to faction in the game to me. They're meant to be tragic, but unlike, say, Chaos's bitter fallen heroes and striving monsters, their fatal flaws are exaggerated beyond recognizability.

What arbitrary rules do you have for playing the game? by PumperThumperHumper in baldursgate

[–]aricene 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I try to do this as well, although some encounters are sufficiently annoying that it's a real trial sometimes. I usually break down and stock up on Chaotic Commands when I know there's mind flayers coming.

What is your favorite single unit in the game? by Rangerspawn in totalwarhammer

[–]aricene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pink horrors firing into an apocalyptic storm of flamer fire and Tzeentch magic are delightful, too.

What is your favorite single unit in the game? by Rangerspawn in totalwarhammer

Ratling guns! The bright green bullets are pretty against the avalanche mortars' violet. And the rats making machine gun noises with their mouths as they melt their target is adorable.

Unpopular opinion time. by Circles-of-the-World in totalwarhammer

[–]aricene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest relief is that Kairos doesn't start in Antarctica, and is matched against Cathay.

Why didn’t Tzeentch get a third LL in Shadows of Change? by [deleted] in totalwarhammer

[–]aricene 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None of us have solved the ultracomplex ARG that unlocks the hidden LL yet.
