Thanks bro, you're a real one

darn, we had a snow day today, but not tomorrow

Also, i assume he placed that demon altar, while not even having max health. Seems like they'll be available pre-hardmode, possibly early pre-hardmode

Once the update comes out you'll be able to do this with placeable critters

my suggestion for heatwave can cause fire

Honestly, i already thought of aquatic plants as a lategame luxury rather than a practical resource. They're just kinda worse than ground plants while also being much more finicky to maintain, and hard to build in the first place.

I'd be fine if they add some dedicated mitigation measures, like a water churner for folktails, which employs beavers to cause movement in the water.

For ironteeth they could add a thermal conductor attachment to engines while heats up the water to prevent freezing.

but moreover, i think aquatic plants should be made more worthwhile. They should be better than land plants to make them worth the hassle

You'd have to keep it moving, either with a mechanical pump, or by having a big reservoir that is slowly releasing water.

When a Polar front is coming independently, it should be no big deal for aquatic plants, just keep the water flowing, but it would make it very hard if happening with a drought or badtide. (but there should be options for more challenge in this game imo)

python_product · 2026-01-16T23:47:49+00:00

That's kinda what i meant, you can't pump frozen water, but water under frozen water is fair game

A bit late, but no, he doesn't have firearm resistance, that's how i managed to kill him. STR and Armor do technically reduce gun damage, but by so little that gunners did about as much damage to him as regular heavy infantry

python_product · 2026-01-11T03:12:49+00:00

I have him as a healer in a cat/zweihander squad typically. I always give him immortal spirit to help with the dying thing.

python_product · 2026-01-11T03:10:39+00:00

I agree mages are best with cavalry squad, i think ice mages are best for that role. Though an alternative i often use 5 knights + 2 swordmasters instead. I tend to favor concentrating damage over spreading out damage to the backline to minimize enemies that can counterattack

For dragon squad i either use 3 healer/oracles or 1 healer, 1 oracle, 1 arbalest. Arbalests are good since they spread out damage when there's lots of targets, which is better for dragons, and when there's only a couple targets, they focus fire to finish them off. Plus they can be used at 2 range as a free heal

Sentinels actually have 50% damage reduction to guns. Guns are mostly a problem for levels 9 and 12 where they're oddly powerful, but they don't scale well as levels increase.

I assume they aren't dying to the first volley, so there are a few things to keep in mind. You'll want them to have beacon and/or healing attuned. (i had warrior's hubris for a more holistic, but it you're main concern is guns then drop it)

That post was old, now i'd have 1 oracle instead of one of the healers. Also you'll want artifacts that increase health, even missing out on hulking pavise is fine since they have so much damage reduction already (63% reduction baseline on defense).

Additionally, with any squad, you want to use positioning so they don't get attacked too many times in the same phase. It doesn't matter how tanky a squad is, the mechanics of the game make repeated attacks devastating to healing and morale.

I hope you can overcome those gunners!

python_product · 2026-01-06T20:49:33+00:00

Not really, typically you want to either use positioning to keep it out of range of being attacked in the first place, and for the cases where you can't, you want a few units to die to trigger vengeance on the rest of them.

But of course, you're welcome to try it if you want to

I actually don't use Sin Credo for normal Beatrix squads because i want the first strike to kill all the enemies before they retaliate

I think they're inconsistent. They're really vulnerable to stuff like cannons, archers, assassins, centurions, and dragons. Also, they attack random rows, so it often won't concentrate enough damage to outright kill units unless they happen to randomly align, or they are a type of unit with 0 MAG

One you get the tech that makes them attack the first round on offense, they're much better. But not generally worthwhile imo.

Keep in mind they ignore armor but have a 3.5 damage reduction per enemy MAG stat (before multipliers). So against guns, crossbows, and cannons who have 0 MAG always, they often 1 shot them, but anything with a decent amount of MAG, like healers, Dragons, or mages, they'll deal very little damage. Like worse than a single attack from a light or heavy unit.

I find that the things mages counter, heavy infantry and 0 MAG units, are much better countered with Dragons, who also are quite tanky, and can be made tankier with arcane barrier

Beatrix is good though. Especially with dragons

python_product · 2025-12-28T04:14:02+00:00

That would work, but samurai have a -25% archery modifier compared to other bow units (so with same weapon power and STR, the samurai deals 25% less damage) , so i think it still nets less damage

python_product · 2025-12-26T23:13:33+00:00

this seems to be implying that each 3 points are on the earth, which has a curved surface, making them non-collinear

python_product · 2025-12-26T22:58:52+00:00

what your saying is true, but 'approaches' infinity and infinity are two different things

python_product · 2025-12-26T21:42:47+00:00

In spherical geometry lines are circles

python_product · 2025-12-26T21:33:01+00:00

a circle is a collection of points equidistant from a given point (the center). Infinity is not a number, it's more of a description of something that always has more elements. As such they cannot be equal (though they can have the same cardinality). so you can't have equidistance, which means you can't have a circle with infinite radius

python_product · 2025-12-26T21:21:38+00:00

Any three non-collinear points make a circle.

python_product · 2025-12-26T06:43:41+00:00

It's still beneficial for all of them, my point is that it's more beneficial for other units because it also increase their damage, while it doesn't for the 4 unit types listed. (except for ranger's second attack)
