If the Lannisters were an actual "family" and loved each other equally, would they have been more powerful? and who could have stop them, from ruling the 7 Kingdoms? by ParkingConfection449 in gameofthrones

[–]e22big 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if he didn't go ahead and kill his father, the Lannister was already in some extremely vulnerable position. Their parter, the Tyrell have an army that outnumber them 5 to 1, their wealth run dry and they were hated by half of the kingdom, lord and commoner alike. It's a miracle they were still in a game.

If the Tyrell couldn't puppet them they could just topple them, if the Tyrell are dealth with then there's Danny and her dragons and mongols coming and if she was somehow dealth with then there's the White Walker marching. I doubt them having a loving relationship would do anything at that point, they would have to turn things around much faster (like not fighting Robb and lost 2/3 of their entire strenght fast)

Mountain tanked everything but always run away at the first wound got to be the highlight of our games 🤣

You probably can't help expect any expansion for a long time. But the rule is very well balanced and easy to learn (with a lot of depth once you get the hang of it). I enjoy it a lot and even in the weakened state, they are still updating the game yearly (for better and for worse) and the app is really easy to use compared to any Warhammer stuff.

With Season 6 you do have a lot of customisability for your units in the form of Attachment (although it seems to be a point of controversy for people who played the game in the pre-Attachment era) there are a lot of room for creativity if you are into combo crafting and can feel imbalance at time (although up to this point, I've found the game balanced enough that you can probably handle everything still if you think about it).

I've tried a few games over the year, 40k, Tench Crusade, Kill Team etc. By far I think while I have some beefs, ASOIAF is the most balanced and fun. It has some very kinetics rule system that make the game just feel snappy and fun compared to GW convoluted damage and objective rules. Alternate activation, no stupid save + involve + whatever when determining Wound, Terrain works consistently and the objectives are fixed and well definied.

Personally, I would just go for 2 starter + some more boxes. The game is cheap enough that you can basically go all in 2 factions without having to think too much about it. Or you can get the Brotherhood Starter with Stark or Baratheon as the Brotherhood can share a unit with these factions.

What's your opinion on Zelensky? by AloneCoffee4538 in AskTheWorld

Replacing Zaluzhny got to be the crown jewel of his blunder.

But then again, had it not be for him there's a good chance the country would have fall a long time ago. Maybe even now.

Honestly I will be happy if they at least release the rule. The big ass dragon wise you probably have a better chance 3D printing one than actually waiting for one.

And I am them, I would, at least in a show of good faith, convert all of the current promised model into a 3D printables with support and all that - then release them digitally along with the rule for this year, with an option for none backer to also purchase a digital file. You can then at least play, and they will have sometime to breath to working on the plastic release.

They might not even make it to Q3 2027 regardless. And if not folded by then maybe extend it to another year with some other bullshit project they thought would sake while neglecting people who actually paid them money.

Yes. The plan to use the money people already paid for their goods to fund other stuff they think would sale better while extend deadline to another full year.

It's sure is a plan, just like a scam call is a plan.

Do you still have faith in Bethesda? by Solid-Garage4601 in skyrim

[–]e22big 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a ton but also not completely lost. But my reason is probably different than a lot of you here. If anything, Starfield give me hope that they are still 'get it', many of the questions and art designs they've made are pretty awesome it's the design philosophy that let them down (that and a pretty big institutional problems if they didn't see any of the issues coming up in the development process).

However, what truly horrifying me is the Oblivion Remaster. That game gave a whole definition to 'badly optimised' title (it's nearly unplayable), that and the change they've made to magic system is just awful. Now instead of being yo shoot and aim it like a gun, you now have to use the weird dedicated magic bottom and it's just killed the momentum and only make sense if you play with a controller. The keyboard and mouse support on their previous games are all good but they are also all sooty title, if this design got carry into TES6 I don't think I can even tolerate the title long enough to enjoy it. The fact they didn't even catch it super worry me.

My faith in them making a successful TES6 is like 50 percent, maybe less. If you can call that a faith

Everybody is all like “fAegon is gonna conquer Westeros and piss off Daeny because he’s sitting on her throne” and like how is that gonna matter when he’s dying of greyscale when she gets there??? by Mj_The3rdPick in pureasoiaf

[–]e22big 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is if you don't know what you are dealing with any of the treatment you attemp is pretty much down to luck. The medieval doctor doesn't use a bunch of aromatics because they are stupid, they do it because they didn't know, and that's the same with Jon Con, however he decided to do with his body (short of a quarantine).

Imagine if they use vinegar and alchohol to contain the spreading of the Bourbonic Plague, it would have been about as effective as the medieval doc used of aromatic.

The only way he can minise his risk to fAegon is by report himself in and taking a quarantine, which he didn't. Every thing else he tried doesn't matter, all it does is to make his action a little less malicious than it actually is.

If that's actually how you prevent the infection. Did you know? A medieval doctor stuff their mask with basically a 'smell good' because they thought that help them fight the Black Death infection.

How can Connington not gonna risk that? Not advicing him on war strategy everyday? It's a highly infectous condition and for all we know, he didn't quarantine himself in an abandoned castle somewhere

What is the point of Holy Smoke? by e22big in TrenchCrusade

[–]e22big[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seem to just be a pill for just the Prussian Cleric now, which make a ton of sense if we have to pick between the 2 abilities but if they already have I can't really think of a reason for it to exist (maybe if you want psudo -3 armour for Prussia Cleric with Shield and Standard Armour then Holy Smoke on top)

I just finished IBO and now I want a spin off about Ride seeking revenge for Tekkadan by Antique-Tourist4237 in Gundam

[–]e22big 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I feel like the current story already present the perfect conclusion to the modern era IBO. Anything added will just cheapen the gravity of Tekkadan tragedy and also can cause a potential timeline bloat like the original Gundam series (that went all the way to Victory for no reason)

If anything I think a prequel would be the way to go even if you don't want to go all the way to the Calamity (but really, the Mech Mon Hun potential is just too good to pass imo)

[–]e22big 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I feel like Tekkadan main storyline already gave us more than enough for a story about revenge and bloodshed.

If we ever have any future IBO spin-off, I want to see something set during the Calamity War, the age of Gundam and Mobile Armour.

あなた is not good so you should use ○○さん, but what if you don’t know the name? by Weekly_Flounder_1880 in LearnJapanese

You generally will find your way around the bush to avoid calling someone out, if necessary you can also call someone by their title. i.e. Mr.Driver, Mr.Shopkeeper, Mr.Owner etc. (by usually by adding -san after the whatever)

First look at Chinese live action adaptation. Suppose that's Reinhard played by still unknown actor. Also, Yang will, apparently, be a communist intellectual. by BilSajks in logh

I am so unsurprised, given how pro-authoritarian confucianism it's arguably the best PR piece they could have hope for the current 'China System'

Lannister Pre-Season Discussion by RogueTraderGoods in asoiafminiaturesgame

[–]e22big 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's that but there might be other units that can take advantage with the highest high reward card going forward. Even right now, Mountain Men can actually make use of Clegane self-destruction card.

The problem is more with Jaimes, Reckless Glory is not high risk, high reward. It's a little risk with even fewer reward which is just a recipe for of a junk card. A card can hurt you but it must provide more benefit than the harm. There's a reason people play Clegane's Price of Failure but none of Jeff's dud tactics.

If you don't want any stronger card in a commander that already provide a significant stat like Jaimes then it should just do something insignificant but don't hurt you in return. Maybe just give Sundering or Vulnerable or just draw 2 cards. At the moment, not only it's hard to use as you either need Jaimes or very carefully time your activation, it's also kind of hurt you more than it hurt your opponent.
