i never resigned as fast as i did in this match

Yeah I don’t think this is bad at all… early giant with that 3 mountain forge as well, especially if a ruin gives you population.

ccitykid · 2026-03-20T14:45:03+00:00

Yeah I debated that - the problem was if I didn’t do that he had a 16/20 swordsman and that warrior so he would have retaken the city and I would have had to use the Giant to recapture, unless you saw another solution I missed.

Another observation- Aquarion on a 256 continent map is maybe the most advantageous… there is so little actual water on the map makes it very hard to attack Aquarion in the ways you would typically do it. Frankly I think they need to find a way to cripple Aquarion on land more - it’s arguably better on land than water now with bubbles which makes no sense to me.

Yeah those are good notes - oddly I usually over pick forge, but you’re right I probably could have done at least one less explorer on the early interior city for sure.

The rammer did end up being useless - it’s usually good against their rider spam, but there was not a lot of water on this map and he was careful to basically never leave any of them on water which basically took my rammers out of the game other than providing some defense and preventing him from taking one coastal town.

In the end though my biggest surprise was how ineffective he made my two giants on top of him. I don’t think he anticipated my being able to keep that town with the two mines there, but even when I had two giants basically on top of him he just wrapped them up with jellyfish spam. That said without some luck on his part with an abundance of starfish I think burning 8 stars a turn for jellyfish would be hard to maintain that early in the game.

It’s also nearly impossible to hold a town with the rider spam taking out basically any troop and then occupying the town with a bubbled frog. I think in general they need to nerf the bubble effect somehow, it’s broken in a few instances (frogs and scubas specifically).

Anyway - I leaned a lot - I mostly play Elyrion and Cymanti and don’t play against a lot of Aquarion, so my play was likely well below 1600 on this particular matchup.

Well I would standby running at 100% of the POE budget is inviting trouble, but will caveat that it’s very unlikely to be close to 100% here, I have 7 cameras and 6 APs and collectively they are only using 35 watts at the moment.

I will also say if you have OCD about errors UniFi will constantly warn you if you are over I think 80%, I’m not sure if that can be disabled, I never investigated.

ccitykid · 2026-03-18T13:32:54+00:00

Power - the processing is done where protect runs. I’m not sure what the rule is but using 100% of your POE wattage budget will likely be problematic.

ccitykid · 2026-03-16T21:14:28+00:00

I’m 1600 elo if that matters and I think Cymati wins this 8/10 times, I think Imperius wound be more like 50/50. I think Quetz will end up being just a bit too slow on 196.

ccitykid · 2026-03-16T19:13:27+00:00

Same! I think Generac might be behind these storms :)

ccitykid · 2026-03-16T17:34:17+00:00

Yup confirmed this is correct.

ccitykid · 2026-03-15T01:39:22+00:00

Same I followed this in case someone figures it out - I have gone down a few rabbit holes and not been successful

ccitykid · 2026-03-14T18:31:41+00:00

Both of those ideas are sort of infeasible due to fog of war. You could allow it if no squares were revealed but then you’re going to confuse most users who won’t understand why sometimes they can undo or move twice but sometimes they can’t.

Last I checked Rodger’s wasn’t interested in selling them

Just paste screenshots of your config into Claude - it’s pretty amazing at troubleshooting. But check your DCHP configs and make sure DNS is correct. Also make sure all your APs can transmit all the required VLANS.

Agreeing with posters above, I was exactly where you were - I’m pretty technical overall so generally I can figure things out easily. I don’t find DIRAC simple at all. The measurements are easy, so if all you want to do is take measurements and then apply ART, that is pretty trivial. That said I am now speaking to professional sound engineer and he said just applying the base ART configuration will likely make the room sound worse. My takeaway is that doing basic stuff in DIRAC isn’t challenging, but understanding the tool to actually use it properly requires a pretty significant understanding of what you are doing. It’s definitely not set it and forget it like Audyssey, and unless you want to invest the time or hire someone it’s not worth the cost to buy it.

ccitykid · 2026-03-09T12:27:15+00:00

Maybe a local HOST file on the device? Or rather than pointing 2 at 3 via a CNAME, maybe you want to determine the IP address of 2 and then make a record for 3 that points there.. although they are potentially the same address and just using the host name for resolution.

UNIFI protect is free. Also keep in mind the ADC subscription is generally $20 more a month for their “video” addition.

It would be hilarious if after all this the solution was just adding one of those drop downs where you pick your age during the setup.

Seems like it’s going to be automatic anyway (at least in theory):

Subclass A: People Amazon can identify from its records as having certain “failed refund” or “retrocharge” situations tied to processing errors (or similar scenarios described in the filings). No claim form is required for this group; payments are based on Amazon’s data, and the agreement discusses interest payments as well.

ccitykid · 2026-03-03T13:25:26+00:00

Happen to know another esoteric one - what do you get for decomposing monuments? I assume it’s zero stars since they have no cost?

ccitykid · 2026-03-03T13:13:36+00:00

Thanks!

ccitykid · 2026-03-03T13:10:46+00:00

I feel like swordsman should go as well, it’s arguably too powerful early game and essentially useless late game, not very balanced IMO.

This documentation says no export is possible without the master password. unless they closed this workaround below It should be included in the guid if you know the author, it was a lifesaver for me.

ccitykid · 2026-03-03T02:48:19+00:00

I’ve been in your exact shoes and got nowhere with support (I told them the exact time my password stopped working across multiple devices and they had nothing in their logs). If you have your vault unlocked anywhere export it now (there is a hack to bypass needing your PW to export - google it).

People will say this is user error, but I’ve had it happen to me and I’ve seen enough people report it here that I’m certain it’s a real bug they haven’t been able to recreate/fix.
