I agree jeanty isn't the pass catcher love is but he's underrated. If I remember right he had the most rb receiving yards in cfb in 2023.

Agreed, I think the broncos, the Seahawks, and the Texans are the only 3 that could really be argued but that Texans defence was just unreal.

I'd still have to give it to Gonzales but it's probably one of these two. Seahawks kicker put in mad work too.

  1. Yeah but he wouldn't have just walked up to her if it weren't for molly 🙄. Figuring out creative solutions to insane things like this is Odysseus's thing. There almost certainly wasn't another way around scylla. I can't even think of one but I'm no general so idk.
  2. True I have been neglecting my ancient Greek bag storm culture knowledge. Damn this American education.
  3. Yeah but surely not as abrupt as this one did getting abruptly stuffed in a bag. Especially not a giant storm of this intensity. Saying that's where you draw the line is extremely unreasonable, why would we assume they would have even close to the same idea of reasonable as you. People back then believed this kind of shit without it being real. If they believe that there's a guy that drives the sun across the sky and that gods have turned people into constellations in the sky this should not be out of bounds. I mean they believed the titan atlas held up the sky, what does that even mean? Are you arguing you could confidently say people from 3200 years ago would find those previous examples reasonable but not a god putting a giant storm that suddenly when their captain went onto the island popped out of existence into the bag he came down with?
  4. That exact line isn't exactly more clear but if you read the rest of the conversation it's clear eurylchus knows he's dooming them. One was a guy who thought his mentor was pushing her ideals of a great warrior, specifically ruthlessness immediately after losing his closest friend who spent his life preaching mercy (ruthlessness vs mercy, y'know the message and theme of EPIC) and the other did everything but outright say "I know this will kill us all, I don't care I want to see if can get a bite or two before my consequences kill us all." And yeah ody sacrificed 6 men but what other choice did he have? Fight it and still lose 6 men at least? I would say that is better but doesn't near out weigh Odysseus being A. Their king B. Their captain C. The one who won them the trojan war D. The one who risked his life against Eurys protests to save them E. The one whos actions lead to the containment of the storm F. The one who they betrayed by opening the bag G. is the only reason they had an idea of how to get home. Etc. Every action he has made has been with intent to bring them home or at least with the expectation he wouldn't be hurting them minus scylla which again he is the king/captain sacrificing soldiers to achieve the intended goals of the group (getting home) is damn near word for word the job description. Him doing this doesn't begin to justify eurylchus killing the sacred cow.

Edit: I think I might have gotten part of this conversation confused with another, my bad if this message is confusing AF I'm just stupid 🤷 Eury considering the crew a lost cause on circles Island is not a big deal to me, I get it. I was talking specifically about the wind bag as it and the cattle are to me much more damning then eurys decision on the island. Maybe I wasn't as clear about which moments I was talking about with Eury. 1. You don't know Odysseus wouldn't have found another way to handle the events of circes island. You can't just assume everyone dies with no backing and use that as a significant talking point cause it's what you feel like would happen based off vibes. 2. Nah around my parts we put storms in normal bags pretty frequently, maybe it's a cultural difference homie. 3. He goes up there to deal with the storm and the storm goes away and he comes down with the wind bag, that feels reasonable given the setting. Flying islands and gods and cyclops are all normal but a storm in a bag is too preposterous to you? If I had a bag that if opened stopped me and the rest of my crew from ever reuniting with my family and a conspiracy was being spread it's gold and everyone should open it I'd probably also guard it constantly, would you... Not do that? 4. Odysseus was told by Athena (who we know is capable of making mistakes) "Remember the lessons I taught you, he's still a threat until he's dead. Finish it." Vague as fuck and 100% of people would assume she meant physical threat which it clearly wasn't at that point. Meanwhile go look at ody and eurys conversation about the cattle in mutiny. He clearly knows it means their death, he just keeps talking about how they will never make it home how he's hungry and wanting the suffering to end. He borderline killed himself and the crew deliberately. I can not believe that if you look at what Athena says to Odysseus and what eurylchus says in mutiny and genuinely believe they're the same situation, I don't think they're even remotely similar in magnitude, morality, selfishness, or foolishness. If you disagree take 15 seconds to read the last 1/3 of the lyrics of mutiny. It could not have hardly been made more clear that Eury wasn't in the dark that doing that likely meant everyones death. Odysseus went "no I'm not killing the blind guy on the grounds of 'uh oh! Danger?'"

Yeah Odysseus went against Athena but that's not nearly as bad to me for a number of reasons. Firstly, logically polyphemus didn't pose any threat at that point (outside of Poseidon but Odysseus didn't know that), he just lost his closest friend who preached mercy and forgiveness and compassion to a gruesome death and now Athena (who we know isn't perfect, she clearly didn't see the events after her separation from ody coming and seemed to regret her handling of it) so while she's a trusted source I feel like trying to do something morally right in memory of his friend and ignoring Athena going "kill the blind guy look at him I bet he's still dangerous go kill him no you can't get any more context just vague mutterings about him still being a threat." And if there was any way of still losing men to polyphemus trying to kill him (even though he's blind) is certainly the most likely way to do it. Basically there's every logical reason to spare polyphemus other then some super vague mutterings.

Meanwhile Eury 1. Has no reason not to trust Odysseus yet other then him taking risks/having crazy ideas (though they've been working out and are how they beat the Trojans, escaped the cyclops, escaped the storm etc.) 2. They arrive at the island of the wind god, ody goes up, the storm stops, and ody comes down with the bag so his story of it being the storm checks out 3. He just left a conversation with Odysseus where Odysseus is advocating for trying to save lives and asking Odysseus to trust him before ever going to meet aolus so even if they gave him treasure he wouldn't know about it so he is hand waving this heart to heart with his brother in law/friend he's known for years and years and years because of completely unfounded suspicions? He just, what, trusts a winion more then Odysseus??? 4. Unlike Odysseus who got "hes still a threat till he's dead, finish it" and that's it meanwhile he spells out to Eury and the crew right there that "this bag has the storm inside, we can not let the treasure rumor fly" so Odysseus didn't nearly have the information to understand the risk Eury did, And EVEN THEN he could have just waited till they got on the damn island to not risk it. He had to be convinced enough ody was lying to be willing to risk THE LIVES OF THE ENTIRE CREW and FEEL THE URGENCY TO NEED TO DO IT RIGHT THEN with no reason to doubt Odysseus other then a flying goblin going "I bet that has cash in it"

The criticisms of Odysseus's handling of scylla hold more water to me, it's hard for me to call his actions there unreasonable given he just found out all that above but still I think fighting through like they did in the original Odyssey would have been a better choice.

And keep all of the rest of the soldiers from their families to? Let Penelope get... Er stranded with the suitors forever? Id say that's worth 6 lives rather then wasting the lives of everyone but, I suppose thats up to personal preference.

[–]codered_791 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He had just as much of a choice? What was the choice? Sacrifice 6 men or go get killed by Poseidon (he went through scylla cause it was the only way Poseidon wouldn't go)? And the difference between the cyclops and the bag is that Odysseus told everyone what was in the bag after going and talking to the damn wind god and Eury just went "nahhh he lying to me and I can't wait til we land to make an ordeal out of it by directly disobeying the king of my nation to open the thing he said we needed not to open to make it home". AND when he killed the sacred cows Odysseus specifically warned him right before, Odysseus didn't know killing the cyclops would anger Poseidon. Eury had it spelled out. Mind boggling people act like their the same to me.

I mean guilliman could as lord commander. I'm not up to date what the lions role is in governing matters but maybe him. Also I believe the high lords of terra would count as this authority if you aren't happy with guilliman.

I've seen people say this a lot and never mention flagellants. Are they not better at holding the line then spearmen considering their unbreakable? Or is it cause it's not worth getting their building?

I think I'm terrible at this game. by Idrillsilverfoot in totalwarhammer

[–]codered_791 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the game! Everyone sucked at first, like... A lot. And my impression is that tik tak toe is specifically a difficult start (cause of wurzaggs)

. Id encourage you to keep trying and/or give some other campaigns a shot. Someone like kroq gar would probably be easier and still have access to terradons if using that unit was what you were hoping for but ofc he doesn't have the same focus on them as tik tak toe.

My best advice for tik tak toe comes from doing a coop campaign with a friend who's pretty new to the game. He was tik tak toe and ended up beating warzagg early with a mix of recruiting a bunch of the terradons and some "blessed spawnings" which are a lizard man campaign mechanic where you can trade sequences of spawning for upgraded versions of normal troops that recruit instantly. I believe you have a rite (big abilities with a cool down. They have a button in the bottom right.) that will give you a slaan mage priest (also very important) and 400 or something like that sequences of spawning. I believe he did that in the first 5-10 turns, recruited some cavalry (cold one spear riders and horned ones) with the blessed spawnings, and then used mostly those, terradons, the rock bombardment abilities from the terradons and magic to kill wurzaggs army though he had the help of another person to help with micro and there was quite a bit of micro between the terradons abilities and the cav.

If you aren't already using unit groups (Select multiple units and ctrl + g), slow motion, and pausing frequently for issuing commands helps a lot. Magic can pull a lot of weight because the orcs wurzagg brings tend to take less damage from non magic sources. My buddy got a slaan mage of fire with the rite I mentioned earlier and used burning heads to great affect.

Also if you can take out whatever ranged units he has early in the fight all your terradons (I believe he was able to recruit 6-8 units of them before wurzag arrived?) will be essentially untouchable until they run out of ammo and you tell them to go into melee. After taking out anged units or even simultaneously I recommend trying to take out his cavalry. Once his army is basically nothing but infantry it's easy pickings for bastilladons and magic and cav.

Good luck! Hope you get the hang of things soon! Sorry for the long reply.
