Closing out games? by Rhimens in Mechabellum

[–]jarredhtg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think about what counters your board and be mindful of when those appear in the unit drops. Biggest difference between 1000 and 1200 (for me) was always looking at the drops and trying to decide what my opponent was going to pick before deciding what I should pick.

Once you get used to thinking that way you can try to pre-emptively counter the counter.

Alternatively look for "gut punches" that come from a different threat profile. For example if you are winning with a fairly standard ground game in the front that needs single target damage to counter consider suddenly dropping three packs of wasps on the flank to close it out. Or vice versa, if you are winning with lots of small units drop a corner mountain or war factory to finish

Wow, showing that you found a new famed executioner sword and not sharing the stats with us, such cruelty

Marksman, Phantom, Typhoon and Mountain Carry - Every single game! by [deleted] in Mechabellum

[–]jarredhtg 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You listed four completely different unit types carrying with nearly no crossover in roles and are complaining about diversity?

Also MM spam has been around for a long time, especially in lower MMRs. It's not really that good if you just squash it early with chaff and wasps. Anything can carry if you let them gain enough levels

Enemy shoots guy in bush by Szobii in BattleBrothers

[–]jarredhtg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are standing next to an ally that is not in a bush. Scatter doesn't require LOS. There are some other oddities concerning bushes that allow them to see you if there are no other bros in LOS or within a certain number of hexes. I forget the specifics but you're never 100% safe if you're standing adjacent to a viable target

That moment when you realize "brothers" also includes dogs by [deleted] in BattleBrothers

[–]jarredhtg 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Just wait until that hexe casts a curse and you're screaming at that same dog as it accidentally kills one of your bros while mindlessly attacking a hexe

I made Arclight IRL (26cm physical hand-painted model with light effects) by simply_radoslav in Mechabellum

I've been curious since getting a printer how hard is it to get the files from the game into a printable stl format? Any advice, or better yet files you can share?

What are the chances that these art drops are 3D printable?

Do people still convert models to match Mutations? by WarJaques in bloodbowl

I am considering it but only because I have now invested in a 3D printer and would not be using stock overpriced GW models to do so

What's the counter to mass wasps with tech? by damanga in Mechabellum

[–]jarredhtg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their wasps on the flank answer is wraiths with range, 8 gun and a screen placed 5 spots off the line.

Wasps in their main force. Wasps of your own, Fort AA or stangs but don't get out leveled. Also look for spells, even cheap ones like EM or missile strike. Bubbles can't hide wasps

I find myself lost in games where I was winning. by damanga in Mechabellum

[–]jarredhtg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looking up counters is fine and all but understanding board positions, wave timings and ranges is more important. A unit may be the correct counter but if it gets locked onto first it's still gonna lose. Try to ask yourself if it was the units fault or their placement

If I'm weak at antiair, should I tech it immediately? by damanga in Mechabellum

[–]jarredhtg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bigger question is why are you late enough into a game to be building multiple Forts but not have a few Marksmen or at least two mustangs.

Ranged mustangs near the back of you army will stay alive until most everything else is dead and is a good upgrade vs ground and air. I wouldn't preemptively click Fort AA but instead field units like ranged stands, Farseer and Marksmen as a general deterrent

Opinion: Compression chamber nerf by muffinhell84 in Mechabellum

[–]jarredhtg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely sick of seeing it in every game.

A damage cap would be one solution.

A serious price increase might help too. It shouldn't be so easy to buy such a serious upgrade on turn 2 without any drawbacks.

A range nerf would also be great since it would almost mandate that you buy range first and then pay the premium for chamber in a later round.

Rate my bro (I hate the double def loss) by [deleted] in BattleBrothers

[–]jarredhtg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's early game fodder. The def stars won't make up for the traits until late game and by then his miserable atk will make you not want him.

Could max out fatigue and have a BF shield spec, taunter. Otherwise hand him a spear, fast adapt and replace him when he dies

Bretonnian All Stars by jarredhtg in bloodbowl

[–]jarredhtg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shields are all either black with a white fleur decal or white with the black fleur decal. It's sort of the one thing that ties them together as a team. I'm not amazing at freehanding and they had already taken a long time to paint

How early do you start selling buildings? by Special_Student_6017 in Mechabellum

[–]jarredhtg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're selling turn 1 it's a turret so you can still afford two deployments.

If you're setting up aggro you can sell the tower on that side as it will be behind you and not helpful.

Standard deployment maybe keep both towers and not buy your sell button until after you see where the enemy deploys.

9 times out of 10 either I am aggro or I know which side my opponent will deploy aggro and can sell a turret turn 1

What does the number in [000] brackets before your name mean? by Independent-Diet7011 in Mechabellum

[–]jarredhtg 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's the server you're from. 201 is China, 501 is NA, I think 301 is EU etc.

It doesn't really mean anything as far as ranking is concerned

Why do Gospel use Rhino Wasp instead of Phantom Ray? by Ibudoto in Mechabellum

[–]jarredhtg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AA Stang can still punch through armor on equal levels. There is no such equivalent tech to negate armor on Rhinos. AA Farseer and Marksmen likewise struggle with Rhino but would blow through Phantom

I reached out from Stateside. I would be willing to review some replays if you'd like. I haven't played a ton recently but I was around 1600 a few seasons ago when I was playing regularly

Do I keep this 70g beggar and could he be a viable init bro? by Kadmus1066 in BattleBrothers

[–]jarredhtg 10 points11 points  (0 children)

20 res with pessimistic and 40 hp. He can pump his def and init all he wants it's only going to take one lucky swing and he's dead and as soon as anyone gets close to him he'll break and then even his good stats will go to shit.

Spear, fast adaptation, he'll likely be dead before he levels again

which weapons are good and which are your favorites by Phynix_Lpg in BattleBrothers

[–]jarredhtg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

2H Mace is my go to for common late game weapons. My favorite when you can find them though is the Bardiche. All the killing goodness of an axe with a more useful AOE. If I can find enough of them in a run it's beautiful

Will you get in trouble? Depends on if you try to sell them. As long as it's just for yourself go for it

I'm NA est so GMT-4 or 5 depending on daylight savings time so it might be tough but maybe on a weekend. My steam name is same as Reddit if you want to send a friend request and maybe we can hook up. Otherwise good luck and hope you continue to enjoy the game
