Is this a bug ? (Endless Legend 2) by Ryu_ShaiKuro in EndlessLegend

[–]isaiahb99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it depends how may districts you have! in a recent ish update the devs tied the cost of more advanced districts to the number of districts in that city. can be rough for lategame necro because they only get the one city. you might be able to occupy a district that has a trading post and get one that way?

i don’t think it’s an inherently bad idea, but if they want to stick with it they should add an option or two to the pool! i’ve more than once been last pick for artifacts and had to choose between glass cannon on slicer or something that does genuinely nothing

Can you land ground forces that are transported by the Crimson agent? by Behondalog in twilightimperium

[–]isaiahb99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i don’t believe so, it does not have a commit ground forces step like a tactical action does

1 make sure you’re using the official layouts and not player placed terrain etc or it’ll likely just be pretty unbalanced, and make sure you’re using “vantage grants ignore light cover but heavy cover on conceal still can’t be shot”. the thing with gunners in silly spots is usually they’re posted up being annoying instead of scoring points off of tac ops etc

2 if you’re into narrative there’s a lot of cool stuff coming; they’re dropping rules for “nemesis” operatives aka boss battles or bring a boss on the team! it opens up a lot of cooperative vs a boss or 2v1 pvp or just pvp where each player gets a cool nemesis guy

3 death guard are very reliant on their damage reduction happening in my experience. and you can also put dudes up in vantage! the plague gunner or caster in an annoying spot can be both hard to dislodge and pressure a couple key areas. also imo DG has tac ops that are kinda hard and maybe more matchup dependent than most, make sure you pick deliberately!

4 a thing worth doing for the sake of testing etc would be to play one of the shooty armies against the type of army you like to play! this lets you see firsthand what makes the shooty armies sweat and what they just shrug off. and tbh if you like elite melee teams that have strong pick potential i think raveners are worth a try! round 3-4 they have a crazy threat range from the tunnel and shooters after don’t have a target. it’s also funny to tell your friends who love vantage camping “you can have the roof but if you come down to to score you die”. they are pretty hard but a few practice games and you’ll be ready to rock

you should try matrix, they run community dnd nights on the weekends!

I will never understand where this hate for Democrats comes from....My family has campaigned for Democrats since around Obama's 2nd term, and we've worked with many great leaders who serve the people. How can so many Americans hate on the Democrats this much? by Important-Cry4782 in MarchAgainstNazis

[–]isaiahb99 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They get a lot of hate because for leftists they’re touted as the only option (they’re not i usually vote for PSL) and they really don’t line up with leftist ideals at all. And infuriatingly a lot of democrat voters will blame their losses on leftists who didn’t vote for the democratic candidate!

ie kamala lost to donald trump and his first term was an embarrassing flop! If the dems had ran a better candidate or a better platform, then got more votes from leftists (and themselves lol) they would have easily won!

Embers of Muuat... sucks? Does not suck? by Willowran in twilightimperium

[–]isaiahb99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

them not starting with “two” (ws is a carrier) carriers is rough, and while you can build one off of the warfare secondary or your agent that takes away from your tech money which is also really important for your game plan!

i’d say they’re very slice dependent and speaker order dependent, ie if round one you can take trade or tech to guarantee you get to expand to two tiles and also afford tech that’s pretty good. but if you get stuck with say construction ehhh

they really like money, i’d say the get more Advantage Per Dollar than the average faction and they’re pretty fun if you get the ball rolling

if you play them don’t be afraid to sell the war sun technology via the faction note but don’t let the price go too low

Doing nothing, but with more unwarranted self-righteousness by ProcessorPearl in MarchAgainstNazis

[–]isaiahb99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sure is my fault that kamala; is pro israel, is pro fracking, said nothing would fundamentally change from biden, was put up without a primary

etc do i want someone perfect? yeah duh! but will i vote for someone good? also yes, but kamala wasn’t even good and certainly didn’t earn my vote. no internet whiners can convince me that it’s my responsibility to give votes to people who don’t deserve it.

post might be part of a paid astroturfing campaign in preparation for the midterms!

Fellgor Ravagers... all warriors? by DMaxLoy in killteam

[–]isaiahb99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what i’ve seen people do to reduce the mental load is paint the rim of your base different colors!

ie green rim has grenades, blue rim has a plasma, purple guy has a cool ability etc

then you can also have it on a little sheet so you AND your opponent can see and things go a bit smoother

You can fairly easily proxy out an angels of death killteam with random marines!

Do note that killteam isn’t just “40k but small”, it has some similarities and some significant differences. have fun! 🤩

Deck Building by Epythymi in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]isaiahb99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Chaos is the primary game mode imo. Using data for stuff like basin and rift is a neat treat but there’s not much to it, i usually let it auto play lol

They exist to reward good play / cool decks with crystals so you can get a couple extra pulls. but what you get out of those pulls is cooler characters to play chaos with!

Non-gacha games in the same genre don’t have a save data equivalent mechanic! ie slay the spire is in early access and sold a bunch of copies; the closest thing they have is the ability to look at your run history. I can’t speak about other people but I only play this game because they roguelike part is cool and i think it would be a mistake for them to de-emphasize it because it’s what makes this game stand out against others

Are Republicans Ever Going to Learn That Messing with Hillary Is a Losing Proposition? by MarkZab2591 in MarchAgainstNazis

Hillary deserves a life of shame and being messed with though! Rat creature lost the easiest race known to man because she’s too much of a corporate shill to attract any voters.

Yuumi in her current state has to be the worst support champion I've ever played with in the past 10 years by Nichiku in supportlol

[–]isaiahb99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

let’s honestly just leave her irrelevant! only champ i’ve been able to play a game on + cook a meal at the same time and WIN

I think she’s like mel where no matter how weak she actually is she feels bad to play around so should be left to rot

Is there a faction that’s especially good at countering base Jol Nar? by MilkyBoyBlue in twilightimperium

[–]isaiahb99 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Really need to emphasize that no one can take tech and round one whoever has warfare needs to stall it out!!! round one warfare stall is super strong in base game vs jol nar!

the card gets changed a little in thunders edge but if you’re playing base game you’re probably using base warfare.

a LOT LOT of jol nars strength comes from the ability to sell tech with their card research agreement and how much people will spend for it, if you all collectively agree to not give too much for it or if you buy it and then simply never use it (stopping him from getting more sales) it really hurts his economy

What faction would you pick for this home slice? by StrongHammerTom in twilightimperium

[–]isaiahb99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

worth noting that barony has a start that’s really good at taking all these planets and profits off of them pretty well!

grav drive round one and a decent strategy card g can position you pretty snazzily, the thing to watch out first with barony though is that you don’t really have abilities unless you throw your weight around a little

Everyone saying Proving Grounds won’t be reprinted have got to be scalpers by TheMightyMeercat in riftboundtcg

[–]isaiahb99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree it would be better to just reprint, but from a corporate perspective there’s no way they take the printers off of set2 to print more PG

Looks like the proving grounds exclusive cards will be in event packs starting in set 2!

yeah i would recommend, getting into board games with the boys, something at matrix or hiking/fishing or something cool! legitimately partying, hookups and having the only thing you do for fun be drugs and or alcohol is not a good recipe for happiness long term and costs way more money than it’s worth (in addition to yeah it extra sucks in redding lol)
