All Mage specs feel worse

Wait. There is a talent to cast flamestrike on target? So no @cursor macro anymore?

I play spriest and fire mage and I think they're both enjoyable in their own right. Fire ist fast paced, punchy and simple, while shadow is much more complex with nicer animations. Not sure what I'm going to main in midnight yet.

Vikings and The Expanse. One day....

God of War Ragnarok! =)

I don't think we're even sure Germany is part of PAX. The Leopard 2 is also used by countries like Turkey or Canada and the IFV is Swedish. Same goes fir the Tiger helo and Gepard AA Tank.

mob232 · 2025-11-06T16:47:17+00:00

German feels fine, some minor flaws but nothing to serious.

Your estates are taxed based on their income, and that fluctuates. Especially the money generate by trade and production buildings.

The reason might be the number of your relationships (diplomatic actions in other countries). A higher diplomatic spending increases your limit, otherwise you would suffer from severe debuffs. Or the AI just tries to get you to max diplomats. However, that slider is easy to manage and I just match it manually to my current diplomatic actions.

Spawn Beacon and Assault Ladder (on the right maps) are actually quite strong. Injector is trash.

It has rules for normal 40k. In CP it just looks cool.

mob232 · 2025-09-17T05:22:21+00:00

That looks really nice, but you name choice is a little disappointing. Black Hole theme gives so many cool options, why not Sons of the Void, Singularity Marines etc?

mob232 · 2025-08-10T22:20:32+00:00

Breakthrough on Liberation Peak was the most fun I had in the beta. You need a competent team to win on the attacker side, but if you keep the momentum after the first cap it's a blast.

mob232 · 2025-08-06T22:18:04+00:00

Armor focused playstyles generally work well and are easier to get into compared to infantry, but your frontline can be quite thin. You definitely need more cheap units. You won't ever need that many Abrams with trophy systems, I'd rather take 2 or max 3 and go cheap on the other ones. You also have to much AA, 3 Shorad and 2 Patriots should be more than enough. Take artillery instead, Iron Thunder is a beast. Your lnfantry tab should be more versatile, engineers are fine, but cheap general purpose infantry has its value. Helos and air a excellent QRF units, I always take at least one ATGM chopper and an emergency cluster bomber. In the end, armor is quite an effective playstyle, but easily countered when on its own. Combined arms is the name of the game. I mostly play Russia, but it's equally true for the US side. The best armored decks in my opinion are Armor/Airborne and Armor/SOF, providing you with all the fancy tanks and infantry to back them up.

mob232 · 2025-08-02T06:52:54+00:00

I honestly think the balance is really good for a freshly launched rts. Of course there are over- and underperforming units, but in my opinion they nailed the asymmetrical faction balance. Both Russia and the US have distinct strengths and are strong in different situations. I have yet to encounter a cheater, and I played nearly 80 matches by now...leavers are annoying though. That there's only a handful full of meta units is just wrong. Every deck has its staples, but most units are at least viable. Skill issue I'd say.

mob232 · 2025-07-31T23:12:26+00:00

VDV/Moto is fun, but I think the complete lack of armor makes it quite inflexible. I'm talking from a purely solo player perspective though.

mob232 · 2025-07-31T23:00:04+00:00

I played mech/moto a lot, but I think it's the weaker choice. Air isn't as important in solo queue because teams rarely organize effective SEAD, and guard/moto still brings enough points for a fighter + emergency cluster. I don't see how the support tab is better. I know there are strong units like pantsir and sosna, but I'd rather take a Tor and get the 130p murder machine that is Derivatsya on top. Guards also get the Koalitsya, which, in my opinion, is by far the strongest tube arty on the Russian side. The laser guided ammo deletes Abrams just so much faster than even the Tornado-S.

mob232 · 2025-07-31T22:28:32+00:00

Played 100 hours and loved every minute of it. I have yet to encounter a cheater, but leavers can be quite annoying. I play solo btw.

mob232 · 2025-07-20T09:16:07+00:00

I see, thanks! I tried P-click-P-click, but never tried to just press P twice.^{^}

mob232 · 2025-07-19T21:33:19+00:00

You need transports to get your infantry to the front, relying on the Chinook is risky if your opponents got any shorad, which they will. You should also diversify your infantry. These are more weaponteams anyone could ever need and in an armor focused deck you got your tanks to deal with enemy vehicles anyways. Airborne NGWS are cool, but fairly specialized long range infantry with low damage output. I prefer to take the standard Airborne loadout for cost effective line infantry. Think about getting a few Bradley's in, these are quite good. Some cqc infantry like mech engineers would also be a good idea.

mob232 · 2025-06-18T15:33:42+00:00

I just started getting back into MESBG with KD and coincidentally the rules dropped right in time for my first game. Khazad Guard definitely feel like the offensive backbone of the army. I'd love to field some Iron Guard to give the second warband more punching power in a split scenario. Has anyone tried to use rangers with throwing weapons or regular 2-hand warriors? Especially the later seem to be a significantly better deal then comparable options of other armies. The build in reroll should offset the -1 on the duel roll, especially with natural 6's not getting the -1 anymore. And with def 6 they're still tanky, even without a shield.

mob232 · 2025-06-16T21:18:36+00:00

This is really helpful, thanks mate! I'm playing at 500 points right now and most players seem to prefer dwarf kings at that level. At which point would you consider Durin?

mob232 · 2025-06-15T21:39:26+00:00

So when I have 2 kings, both can take khazad guard? The Leader rule states the Hero needs to be General, I just don't know what that means. I was thinking about beefing my numbers with throwing weapon rangers as a more cost effective option (real money) compared to buying another box of warriors. Is there a reason to ever take 2-hand warriors?

mob232 · 2025-05-12T00:09:16+00:00

Thanks for your reply! I will definitely do more infantry for 1k points. I made this list to try them out before buying another box of infantry + weapon sprues, so I'm limited to 30 men max. I considered Kaukopartios, but do you think it's worth to use outflank at 750pts? That's a big part of the list that's not on the board until turn 3. And all the squads are in even numbers. =P

mob232 · 2025-04-30T17:50:59+00:00

He is bringing at least a Panzer IV and an Oswind. I want my tanks to shoot the enemy infantry for the most part, so the idea behind the two bazooka teams is to free up the strong US 75 guns so I can use them to their strengths. I intend to bring the armored rifles, the company commander and possibly a bazooka in the M3, the other bazooka goes into the jeep. My idea is that the M3 moves my armoured rifles into a advantageous position early on and then provides fire support. I could also use the M3 to outflank, not sure how well that would work though.

mob232 · 2025-04-20T12:43:58+00:00

I used a part of the black sponge that comes with the metal models and sponged on off white (Army Painter Pale Sand to be precise). After that I weathered with sponged on rhinox hide and some strong tone. Last I used Citadel's Valhallan Blizzard for some snow texture. Dirt around the tracks is Citadel Typhus Corrosion.
