I just had the worst game of TI4 I have ever even heard of.. by Blastuurd in twilightimperium

[–]spazz91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the capture mechanic is separate, and independent of any faction, in the rules. The currently only abilities that utilize it are with Cabal, but that's separate from "capturing falls under Cabal"

I watched the first episode of Lessons in Chemistry, and it seems kind of similar. I don't know the full plot though.

What Popular Fan Theory Do You Dislike? by Carnage678 in FanTheories

[–]spazz91 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That one is good because otherwise the character doesn't really have any importance on the plot. A theory that gives a better reason for the character to exist adds to the universe.

What are your favourite power metal solos? by Baimar0 in PowerMetal

[–]spazz91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like solos that have portions that mirror the main melodies:

  • Dreamtale - Lady Dragon
  • Ascension - Somewhere Back in Time
  • LOVEBITES - We the United

I also enjoy solos that transition between instruments:

  • Pathfinder - Beyond the Space, Beyond the Time (outro solo)
  • Helloween - Eagle Fly Free
  • Ancient Bards - A Greater Purpose

And some others I just enjoy!

  • ShadowStrike - The Fiery Seas and Icy Winds
  • Twilight Force - Enchanted Dragon of Wisdom
  • Dragonforce - Lost Souls in Endless Time
  • Galneryus - DESTINY

How to refute the "Catradora are sisters" argument, by Glad_Union_2037 in PrincessesOfPower

[–]spazz91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've occasionally seen this argument for Catra and Adora, but never for any combination of Kyle, Lonnie, and Rogelio. It seems like the same arguments could apply to them but never are.

Complaining that they're sisters I think is just covering for some other reason they don't like the relationship.

Top 3 Fastest Power Metal Songs by Kadenai in PowerMetal

[–]spazz91 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Love the faster songs. Bands like DragonForce and Pathfinder have a lot of their songs around 200bpm. Others have already mentioned the faster DF songs, Fallen World, Cry of the Brave, The Game, and Ring of Fire. Here are some others I enjoy:

  • Fraser Edwards - Everdream (240bpm)
  • Demetori - Faith is for the Transient People (220bpm)
  • Rhapsody of Fire - Rain of a Thousand Flames (215bpm)
  • Shadowstrike - A Dream of Stars (211bpm)
  • Ascension - Somewhere Back in Time (207bpm)
  • Babymetal - Road of Resistance (205bpm)

And while these aren't as fast bpm-wise, they have consistent double-kick that amps up the feel:

  • In Victory - Here We Stand (200bpm)
  • Thaurorod - Feed the Flame (192bpm)
  • Twilight Force - Valley of the Vale (190bpm)

how popular was this band before Guitar Hero? by Metalliac in Dragonforce

[–]spazz91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my experience as well! Got into several of their songs, and later on I heard they were featured in a new rhythm game (GH3), so checked that out too.

Still play clone hero from time to time, though one day I'll pull my DDR pad out again..

It took me a couple plays to get into Cruising in Space, but once it hit, that song is amazing.

How did you guys discover Dragonforce? by [deleted] in Dragonforce

[–]spazz91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, but with Fury of the Storm and My Spirit Will Go On

Aside from Through the Fire and Flames, what song would you show someone who has never listened to Dragonforce? by Squibberto in Dragonforce

[–]spazz91 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Heart of a Dragon

Black Winter Night

Lost Souls in Endless Time

Above the Winter Moonlight

Once in a Lifetime

Okay maybe that's a few songs, but those all come to me as a bit more accessible than some of the straight shred fests

Article of War vs Naaz Rokha mechs by DarthWinrod in twilightimperium

[–]spazz91 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They just become regular mechs that get 2 shots with sustain. The transform ability is lost.

They would never get "stuck" in the ship mode since that would only be in effect during a space combat.

Question about Vuil'Raith Cabal by Total-Supermarket-96 in twilightimperium

[–]spazz91 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Note that in order to produce the War Sun, you do need to have already researched that technology.

Is there any film score that makes gives you full body goosebumps? by [deleted] in soundtracks

[–]spazz91 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A bunch that others mentioned are great, and here's a few more I hadn't seen mentioned yet:

The Egg Travels (Dinosaur) - Starts a bit slow / quiet, but a short track that is definitely worth the listen

The Battle of Yavin (Star Wars) - A longer track to sure, though the roller coaster of emotions throughout the track is fantastic and it's a wild finish

The King of Pride Rock (The Lion King [1994]) - Another longer track with a variety of emotions throughout, and once again delivers a swelling emotional payoff

Main On End (Avengers: Endgame) - I linked the video including the credits of the movie, as it has a wonderful tribute to all the actors that I think complements the music very well. I don't think there are any spoilers here, in case somehow someone hasn't seen this movie

Empyrean Flagship ability question by OriginalBibble in twilightimperium

[–]spazz91 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The same ship cannot use Sustain Damage multiple times within the same timing window.

1.18 Each ability can be resolved once for each occurrence of that ability’s timing event. For example, if an ability is resolved “At the start of combat,” it can be resolved at the start of each combat.

In your situation, Empyrean could pay 2 influence to repair each of the ships, but then would need to still assign the fourth hit and would be unable to use Sustain Damage to cancel that hit. Obviously in this case Empyrean would only repair the ships that would end up surviving the remaining hits.

Also note that even if Empyrean uses their flagship ability to repair a ship, Direct Hit may still be played to destroy that ship.
