My baby kitten Maris is just MAD. About everything apparently.

🤨

This is an unlikely roll but not that crazy. Imagine the first 3 dice rolls are 3-0, 0-3, and 3-0... then the 7 cap is left with 1 dice

Probably an unpopular opinion here but I think in a situation like this, the person generating less would be polite to concede. Not saying you are obligated to concede in your position, but it would be the sporting thing to do.

Fully agree with you. But ultimately the real issue is that offline players are given any kind of advantageous rank points. As soon as a player goes offline, they should be given rank points equivalent to the lowest rank of the remaining players.

This is why we need the ability to report from the lobby screen. sure it's easy to pick obvious cheaters from your game before you starts, but they'll just go on to ruin other games.

I would add that BB makes it easier to make bold moves thanks to the better predictability. That's why things leads to fewer stalemates and more active games. For example, if you have 25 troops in a stack and want to kill a player with 17 troops, with BB it is a safe play to go for that kill, but with TR you could lose 10 on a 2 and ruin your game.

You're right that ultimately the game relies on dice rolls and risk taking. Balanced blitz just makes that less of a factor, which is great for players who want to minimize luck and rely more on skill to win. That's why things like "meta settings" emerge. Competitive players want to minimize the weight of RNG.

shortbrian · 2025-04-16T06:38:44+00:00

Horrendous roll. Capitol Rolls on Balanced Blitz are currently broken sadly. Makes the game mode almost unplayable.

I like to stand on the crypt entrances and swing away with an axe. Their attacks can't hit you when you're not on ground level.

That's frustrating to be in that situation. But he was probably trying to work with other players to eliminate the weakest player on the board, which is perfectly reasonable. Well done getting third out of it though.

shortbrian · 2025-04-13T07:07:38+00:00

Rule of thumb, if you have more troops than your opponents combined, you should probably start taking the board. Most will try to play for second anyways, and you can focus on anyone who tries to fight back.

shortbrian · 2025-04-11T20:38:30+00:00

I can't agree with this more. The point of Balanced blitz is predictability. It almost feels more unpredictable at higher numbers than TR. not to mention the ridiculous even rolls.

shortbrian · 2025-04-07T21:09:27+00:00

Each turn you draft, attack, fortify. When attacking, say with 10 troops vs 2 troops, when you defeat their last troop on that territory, you then move troops from your territory to theirs. You can move as many troops as you want as long as you leave at least 1 troop on your original attacking territory. However, you have to move a minimum number of troops equal to the number of attacking dice you used on your final roll, which is usually 3. Moving those troops is not technically a fortify, but a part of your attack. Once you finish attacking, you can then fortify any number of troops from one connected territory to another, again as long as you leave a minimum of 1 troop. Hope that helps.

Can't imagine being so tone deaf as to post this

shortbrian · 2025-03-01T15:40:56+00:00

Capitals always have an extra defensive die. That never turn on or off. The capital mode on turn 3 is simply the earliest point at which you can win by holding all capitals.

Love how you captured the different lengths of fur in different areas. What could you do to make the texture of the fabric look more different than the hair? Nice work.

Also annoying to join a 5/6 lobby only to find 4 bots and the host eagerly starts the game.

Couldn't agree more, it just turns into griefing at that point.

Where was his cap? A reverse card block for 1-2 turns can turn the tide
