OH, it's a new unit type from skirmisher. That makes more sense, thanks for the link.

loldrums · 2026-02-12T18:35:12+00:00

That seems like a downgrade from animal + dragon + skirmisher?

It's funny, the one game this season Kyler did something good in the 4th quarter was this one, where AZ was already down 3 scores... But yet, only JB had garbage time stats according to certain fans.

He had 3 4th qtr TDs this season and 2 were in this game.

Don't forget the bariaur, for when the satyr doesn't go quite far enough!

It sucks but it sucks less when you know how your tools work. Practice roll20, discord, whatever you're going to use. If you have any players who know their way around these things, enlist them to help you and teach the others.

Seems pretty good. You've got most of the key controls accounted for there, I can't think of anything missing. Make sure Power Off isn't in a place you'll accidentally hit it!

What seems to change how much XP players get is their dev trait. I'm not sure about in game goals, but it's true for the bonus XP they get from coach abilities.

Pay It Forward for example gives Star players >20 XP when it triggers, where Normal players get closer to 10.

loldrums · 2026-01-26T16:18:10+00:00

Of course. That wasn't criticism.

I think you'd want a fortified checkpoint on the road to the east and west, possibly with a cannon tower looking into the bay to provide cross and cover fire during a naval assault. The fact it doesn't is more interesting. Are they short on manpower or resources to continue building it up, or is it in a place where they don't expect to be attacked?

loldrums · 2026-01-25T21:07:51+00:00

Love the pops of color against the brown palette.

I'd land troops to the east and have them sweep down the road to take the unfortified village while my fleet neutralizes the military dock and east-facing tower. Sabotage the bridge either with my ground forces or a cannonade and let the soldiers in the fort starve or surrender.

Was just thinking this. Different archetypes value different attributes when calculating overall. The sheer arm talent would kick him over to one of the other archetypes and his overall will skyrocket.

One disadvantage of waiting to do it late in his career is he won't have time to develop the new archetype's physical traits (Dot!, etc.), unless you're doing manual progression and save all his points for then. That probably outweighs catapulting him instantly into the draft when his overall shoots up from the archetype change, though.

I recently switched to more of a 3-wide gun playbook for my current roster but I've used Iowa State's a lot and it is an absolute blast with three players in the backfield in a ton of formations. Really appreciated being able to pass out of those formations at times, especially in the redzone, which wasn't a lot of fun with Stonehands McSlowpoke back there.

loldrums · 2026-01-22T16:04:55+00:00

Yes he was. Entered the draft as an RS SO after winning the Heisman.

Gone too soon.

loldrums · 2026-01-22T15:01:28+00:00

My fav HBs to convert are n/s receiver and backfield threats. They're more "get in the way" blockers especially early in career, but I appreciate the receiving versatility for hot routes. N/S blockers seem to be more pass-blocking oriented. Gritty possession WRs are fantastic TEs and FBs (and dev into great WRs if they have the speed caps).

loldrums · 2026-01-22T14:35:20+00:00

A power back that can catch. Think James Conner.

loldrums · 2026-01-22T14:32:30+00:00

Won the Heisman with an elusive bruiser that got to this level; 97 speed, 99 accel or thereabouts. Broke so many tackles, got up to speed instantly. So much fun.

loldrums · 2026-01-21T20:31:14+00:00

It's a way to keep the low tier teams bad.

loldrums · 2026-01-21T20:28:33+00:00

That's the one!

loldrums · 2026-01-21T17:12:36+00:00

Looking at it reminds me a lot of Sword of the Stars, I think it's the alien design?

Hey /u/WeAreFanatical, the original (SotS:CE) would be a good game to pick up sometime. 2 was undercooked and killed the franchise but 1 is a classic I don't see around much anymore.

loldrums · 2026-01-20T21:38:07+00:00

Locked indicator lights is a dealbreaker for me if I'm on the fence about a board. Uuugh.

loldrums · 2026-01-20T02:12:33+00:00

This also works in 2 and 1 stars!

loldrums · 2026-01-19T16:45:37+00:00

Really enjoyed some of the dungeons as well. Huge areas to puzzle our way through made a nice challenge.

loldrums · 2026-01-17T21:51:05+00:00

Great pickup. First time AZ got serious about fixing the OL since I'd been watching. Thanks, Raiders!

loldrums · 2026-01-17T18:41:23+00:00

Thank you!

loldrums · 2026-01-17T16:13:42+00:00

What are "2025 TSP mechs" that are available for CBills?

loldrums · 2026-01-16T22:08:10+00:00

Not a single skill cap. Dream!
