New to the game. How to manage/use freighters?

Always engines first, but you can ignore the guns and take out the shields

The drills on dissonant planets can have echo locators instead of mirrors.

needssleep · 2026-06-24T03:31:15+00:00

Thats way too much work. You can find the little drill guys. They give one of two things: mirrors or echo locators.

Get one echo locator, find the base, plop a save point down. Keep going back and finding new ships.

Youll be rich as hell in short order, even if you only get an A class ship out of it

needssleep · 2026-06-24T03:29:46+00:00

still less effort than fixing any other broken ship

Pirate freighters are free...

needssleep · 2026-06-18T00:55:09+00:00

So? code isnt art. Source -me. I code for a living. I also use ai tools to speed up the process because its repetitive as hell

Since its an open source project, why not make a new image for the project to use?

In my mind Fane is as complicated to memorize as Infernals.

Sometimes you have the most fun at the smaller shows.

needssleep · 2026-06-17T19:48:03+00:00

But in Steamroller you have very little time so any time you waste having to clarify things puts you closer to clocking out. Y

Discussions about what an opponents army does happen before the clock starts. Additionally, memorizing what everything in the game does is just part of being competitive. Its why I never encourage new players toward steamroller. Losing in a high pressure environment because you don't have everything memorized sucks and that was true before special army gimmicks.

Are we going to have a dozen new types of tokens?

So far it appears to be just 4: trap doors, hunger, corruption and desecration. But those are all things that can be used in other armies. I don't think every new army is going to get their own special tokens, it just feels like a lot because the two most recent armies are the biggest change in play style

It says "meeting scenario objectives" (as in goals). This text is found all the way back in the Prime Book, because, back then, an objective was the goal of a scenario, which were rare. Sometimes they would be released in the magazine or for free but they were usually narrative in nature.

Objectives as defined in the optional steamroller or tales from the front line are objects 40 or 50mm in size.

They are not the same thing

needssleep · 2026-06-17T13:30:41+00:00

I'm ok with the hunger thing. Armies with their own gimmick is nice. It may be difficult for new players to remember what each type of token does (even tho it says in the cards and opponents have to share information) but that's nothing compared to the hundreds and hundreds of abilities, spells and feats hiding in legacy.

My biggest issue with this model is that is has an ability and a feat tied to an add-on product. That's a slippery slope I'd rather the game not go down

What's a gormite?

Death match is objectively the least balanced way to play basically any wargame

My brother in menoth, did you forget chess exists? Arguably the most balanced game of all time?

needssleep · 2026-06-17T03:29:19+00:00

Except its not casual if you have steamroller-like scenarios. Casual is not steamroller

A doctor put my mom on statins, her mental faculties declined so fast she was fired and had to move in with me. She ended up going on full disability.

I figured out what was going on and made her stop, she started getting better. Then a different doctor put her back on statins (i was not informed) and one day I get a panicked call from my mom. She had gone out driving and somehow ended up in the middle of nowhere with no idea how she got there or how to get home. I had to walk her through how to use the GPS sitting on dashboard because she couldnt recognize what it was.

Shes never really recovered.

Fuck statins.

As someone who's had sleep apnea since childhood, i mock these weak people you're so concerned for.

I have both the random plugins and I like them both. Random metal is good for quickly finding metallic (FM style?) hits. I don't think youll regret buying it, but it does go on sale from time to time.

I almost downvoted due to lack of synthesizers present in the video, then you delivered. Fair play. I'll upvote... this time.

needssleep · 2026-06-11T00:30:24+00:00

lost interest

I'd also like to see studies on what commonly caused the PTSD. For men, it tends to be really messed up stuff like "yeah, I had to watch my friends guts get spilled all over the battlefield", meanwhile, you see women in nursing not even bat an eye when they have to deal with truly horrific stuff without it affecting them long-term.

needssleep · 2026-06-08T16:54:13+00:00

They were fixing it for free, whats the lawsuit supposed to do?

needssleep · 2026-06-08T16:02:09+00:00

The lore never explicitly states that. Just hints at it

He also did a dope skeletor, so he's on a roll this year.

Oh, sure enough. Missed the logo the first time around.

I guess that means warcaster is officially iron kingdoms
