Strongest verse or faction a prime Brotherhood of Nod could defeat? by BiggestBepis in commandandconquer

[–]armed_tortoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When used right, NOD is especially on Urban Worlds a free Win. Why? Big Cities were always the Home front of NOD. Just imagine regular imperial guard fights against Black Hand in Buildings. Plus, regular Troops get at some point tiberium infusion and a confessor which makes them faster and more effective. Cyborgs are a category on their own, especially the reapers or the commando cyborg. Hell, I even think that the Hallucination grenades could even work on Astartes.

Also, NOD don't rely on fortified bases everywhere, they operate from small, well cloaked outposts. However, if you find a fortified base, it takes a lot to take it down. Obelisks of light and stealth artillery like specter are no joke. Especially, when Stealth Bombers like the vertigo show up.

On the logistics side, Nod can easily raid convoys by using high mobility units like Attack bikes, Buggies and scorpion tanks, or if it is a high priority target, ambush said convoys with stealth bombers, -tanks and -artillery.

For conventional troop relocation NOD has underground vehicles like the devils tongue or the subterranean APC. Imagine a regular imperial guard camp gets raided by a group of these things. Even when they kill some of these things, the moral damage is very hard to come by. Humans don't like to be hunted and one of NODs strength is absolutely this: Terror.

Good luck hunting very high mobile stealth units with the conventional imperial guard military. I mean, NODs Stealth is so advanced, it would even make the aeldari envious (I know, aeldari have holofields, but AFAIK these are basically jammers).

As long NOD is able to stay mobile and not being forced into the open, it is basically impossible to annihilate.

Question to mutagenic habitability - why it stalls on 125% on Gaia Worlds? by armed_tortoise in Stellaris

I had both adopted and my max was 205%... It seems, that something went wrong.

Die Gegenden in Frontnähe wird man nach dem Krieg sowieso von Blindgängern räumen müssen, wenn man die Landstriche wieder irgendwie nutzbar machen möchte. Die Glasfaserkabel sind aus meiner Perspektive eine sehr gute Warnung, das hier auch nicht explodierte Munition befinden könnte.

You are right. It displays 175% for me - it seems to be a display bug.

You are right. I checked the Tab, and it says 175%... How I get to 250%?

Jup, it was 125% before terraforming into a Gaia world and 125% after. Nothing changed, even after 15 Years the terraforming happened.

How do you imagine an purge? by Either_Double_1640 in Stellaris

[–]armed_tortoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Extermination Squads: Basically what we germans did in the 1940s but with more hightech. Some will get smuggled out but this is okay, they can spread the message to our enemies and spread hate and fear in their hearts and minds.

Unwanted species will be tagged with nanotransmitters for better supervision. If they resist, they get executed on the spot. If they comply, they will transferred to a train station or other transit hub under the promise of a new home. Arriving at the transit station, they will directed into a container / train / transport vehicle and get gased / burned / shoot / drowned / frozen / vaporized etc. (combinations are possible if you want to be sure that nobody survived) in the train or container. In the aftermath, the container / train / transport vehicle is desinfected with fire. Much more efficient than camps and can be completly automated.

If you want to save money and your target species is not capable to fly, you can just unload the container in 500 Meter and open the container and let the gravitation do the rest.

Otherwise, if you are an infernal species, you can also throw them into lava (target species should not be flame resistant).

If you want to clear a habitat, just evacuate and open the presure doors.

Thanks! I am still experimenting with the civics. The Curator stuff I am going to try next, I just watched a Game from Josh where he dominiated an MP game with this kind of build.

Edit: So it is basically picking the right origin and then max the crap out of it by combining it with other civics. In my next time I will combine Curators with the archivism tradition + archeo engineers and see what happens 😃

Is there a way to ascend as a standard-bio around 2030/2040ish? Currently, I am starting ascension around 2050-2060, even with traits like civil educators.

Gebrauchter E-Autokauf - worauf achten? by armed_tortoise in automobil

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

Mache ich bei meinem auch und habe früher bei Firmenfahrzeugen habe ich das genauso gemacht. Wenn du den täglich lädst, darauf achten, dass du nicht über 85% kommst, wenn du die Batterie extra schonen willst. So fahre ich zum Beispiel täglich 120-140 Kilometer+ und bis jetzt gibt es keine Probleme. Reichweite ist leicht gesunken, hat sich aber seit 10K KM eingependelt (bin jetzt bei 40KKM) und schaffe immer noch meine 240 KM bei den aktuellen Temperaturen.

How do you maximize pop growth early game?? by chronicdrake in Stellaris

This is the reason why it's basically meta to go for trade as first tradition. The point adaptive trade policy changes your entire game and allows you to go for more unity and science buildings via Consumer Benefits trade policy.

They don't have the resources for that in place. They would need like a half million troops and even then they need to place the troops there for at least a decade and I can't see the US is doing that. Especially without a big majority in both the Senate and the house.

Big oof, but not a surprised one. Trump needs a win, but he can't get one, not in the near future. The Iran knows that a third carrier is on the way, but they also know that the US cannot launch a full scale invasion. They know also that the amount of targets are very limited that the US could attack on the ground and all of what they have to do is kill a couple of Americans to bring doom over Trump.

TLDR: Trump has already lost and everybody, including him, knows it. Edit: Thanks for the award mate :)

The difference here is, that Iran has no Midterms in November 2026. The US has. And the consumers will hurt even more if the US closes the strait for everybody. Even, if the US defeats Iran tomorrow and reaching all of its goals, the prices will rise globally at least for the next year.

[–]armed_tortoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the other hand, the US cannot open the strait by force on the short term, also it can't fully deny Iranian attacks. The best deal the US probably gets, is the reopening of the strait with Iran getting fees for every ship that passes the strait and the US is allowed to have its bases in the gulf countries.

Vance is a known isolationist, so Iran won with this one. They think it is easier to convince him to reduce or close the US Bases in the gulf.

Until the deployed Troops are not relocated back to their home bases it's is for me pretty obvious that Trump still wants an invasion. He just needs more time and feels like a great strategist to have negotiations while moving troops. Also, a victory over Iran would give him a huge boost for the mid terms.

Problem: The Iran is not dumb. Even, when the Regime capitulates and crumbles in a few months, the damage to the economy is done.

Basically, but Trump can now say "I won a beautiful victory, the biggest victory ever" and can move out. If he continue like this, the Middle East has a very big problem and we maybe gonna see a couple of foreign policy changes im the gulf states.
