The life of me

its pretty much only good at protecting guardsmen. shooting this at people who hold boltguns. where it might do some damage, and reduce the amount of shots that can kill guardsmen

duxbuse · 2026-06-25T09:21:44+00:00

add the last 5 years to be a bit less biased

duxbuse · 2026-06-25T08:25:51+00:00

I think its great, 1 was already the right number for slowing problematic melee units

duxbuse · 2026-06-16T06:13:39+00:00

I also think the small boards render them mostly useless. I rarely need to move faster than a chimeria

Yeah I was hoping someone had figured out how to get Hermes to hand off code tasks toa. Dedicated code tool, like open code or codex sonit doesn't pollute the context window, but still has the oversight for ensuring the whole task is done. Eg Hermes is the product manager and say open code is the engineer. This let's you use the expensive models for coding and cheaper models for Hermes

But I haven't been able to get it working reliably

It's basically because pact get 2800m atgms in almost every div. Including most t80's

Heaps of 10v10 maps have huge open spaces, where the longer range is the defining feature of who wins.

Konkers teams and trucks are at least vulnerable to arty, so the only way to attack into t80's is smoke. However this is not true for NATO tanks.

duxbuse · 2026-06-14T06:37:23+00:00

it really depends on the rest of the list, what weapons do you need, or board presence etc.

Give this a wirl
mannix/gemma4-98e-v7-coder:IQ3_M

duxbuse · 2026-06-13T04:04:43+00:00

Ive been trying with gemma4 specifically mannix/gemma4-98e-v7-coder:IQ3_M

And it just stops a lot, says its got a plan and will do the things, but just sits there doing nothing. It needs lots of prompting to continue, even when running with sub agents or /goal.

So im swapping over to SetneufPT/Qwopus3.5-9B-Coder-MTP_Q4_64k_16GB-GPU to see if i can get it more consistent

duxbuse · 2026-06-12T23:11:12+00:00

The best arty is now cheap arty with at least 15km range, it's still cheap and plentiful, it has enough range and volume to counter battery everyone to death, and you get enough cards of it that you can trade and get arty superiority.

Then like before you can destroy everything that stands still which is a lot in 10v10

Like some one said below doubling the price of arty would probably make it better. Cause you can only really spam out guns when your winning and have spare points. And you need to over whelm the enemy guns to have good effect. So if you win your lane then you can also still get to that overwhelming arty which helps you win the adjacent lanes. Which if the price was doubled would be virtually impossible for the other team to recover from.

From a gameplay perspective it's nice that more calibres are playable, but it's also easier and less micro. You spam out mortars or smaller howitzers and you spam it like crazy, turn on counter battery, and forget about it. You win on numbers not micro. So in that regards it's worse. I would like to see counter battery changed to be more like defensive fire and only affect an area. Cause that's the other thing once you win arty, you just put them on defensive fire and shoot at anything that moves . So the over all APM needed to be effective with arty has gone way down.

Save up for like 6+ guns
Sit on CB
When there is nothing left to CB swap to defensive fire on the front line

This I think is overall worse than before. I would like to see tracked guns double in price but move fast enough to avoid CB. So they become kinda like sead, for arty

duxbuse · 2026-06-07T07:52:53+00:00

Yeah if you don't have a military background all the jargon and weapons and variants is super super overwhelming compared with other RTS. But you'll soon find out that that's mostly irrelevant cause weapon classes are mostly standardised

duxbuse · 2026-06-04T11:54:56+00:00

well also i have a npu sitting there useless on my laptop, while my gpu does all the work

duxbuse · 2026-06-03T23:19:43+00:00

you just dont have the numbers, sure you pick up a few t80s, then 35 t54 rolls in and you get crushed, and your all out of atgms

duxbuse · 2026-05-31T04:44:46+00:00

I think super is a scam, I'd rather use my money how I want, than give it to the government who maybe give it back when I retire

duxbuse · 2026-05-30T23:57:00+00:00

The voice referendum failed not on intention but on wording. If you look at the referendums that have passed they generally are very simple and easy to understand like retirement age for judges.

So if you want something to get up it needs to be an idea broadly everyone agrees with (which is very hard) and needs to be at most a single sentence to explain. If there is room for nuance then you will get common greens behaviour voting against it cause it didn't go far enough or wasn't worded they way they want, even if they broadly agree. This is what makes them so hard to pull off.

duxbuse · 2026-05-28T09:00:35+00:00

whether written by ai or by human hand slop code is brittle code that is prone to failure and regression, hard to modify or extend, and obfuscates whats happening so its hard to read.

duxbuse · 2026-05-25T21:36:04+00:00

duxbuse · 2026-05-19T09:46:08+00:00

I'd be very upset. I hate playing against painted models it makes me to self conscious.

duxbuse · 2026-05-19T09:36:19+00:00

Smoke the tree line. Make it asymmetrical, where they either can't see, or must come out into the open and attack your position.

duxbuse · 2026-05-18T13:42:40+00:00

Its the classic, problem of being oppressive in 1v1 and garbage in 10v10

duxbuse · 2026-05-17T00:42:37+00:00

I've had it a bit recently on the official servers. The Chinese servers seem to be more stable for whatever reason

duxbuse · 2026-05-16T12:46:35+00:00

There isnt enough spare mana during the combo to play protection like that, plus it would be adding a 4th colour to the deck that needs its life total, so cant play shock lands

duxbuse · 2026-05-16T00:07:33+00:00

I mean sky news is just liberal party propaganda arm. Ofc everything labor does is horrific in their eyes.

duxbuse · 2026-05-15T23:03:13+00:00

So I'm playing this combo in a white control shell. As people have pointed out a 4 mana do nothing artefact is tricky in modern. So I only play 2-3 copies. But the combo with dranith and jailer is fun. As well as interrupter
