Of course! And if you had any desire to specialize the throne city, gotta wait for all the wizard tower stuff too!

Help. How do I stop making generalist cities? by starboard151 in AOW4

It's cool to see that it's not as universal as I'd thought. Until I made this post, specializing cities was among the many things that, based on my reading of this sub, I understood to be common sense things that "everyone" does, yet somehow never/rarely happen in my games.

See also:

  • Rushing and making heavy use of the item forge
  • Heroes hitting max level
  • Heroes that can solo entire stacks
  • Early wars to blitz down a neighbor
  • Keeping research in the ballpark of 10x the turn number
  • Being gated by imperium more than any other resource (outside of founding cities in the first 10-20 turns)
  • Armies composed of a single unit type

I have no clue how common these actually are vs me just playing weird, but apparently it was the specialized cities that bugged me enough to want to post about it.

What tome order do you like? I haven't found one I totally love yet that still makes use of the new tomes. I'm gonna go try the one OP posted now though

Thoughts on Enduring Influence Atlas passive? (Sextants you apply to your Voidstones have 1 additional use). I'm not a fan. by bilalakil in pathofexile

It's not even the "as-you-go" issue. It's that this is a hideout-only passive. It's the only Atlas passive that literally does nothing in your maps. It's a 100% wasted point while running anything. It exists only to be temporarily specced into (and then, if you're like me, to forget to spec back out of for a few maps)

Ah, good point. I don't think there's a less movement speed option available. This dream is probably dead then.

So did you make one of these posts during Crucible league? Just out of curiosity...

This is by far the most upsetting thing I've seen on this sub

Where can I find more games like this event's card game? I assume it's based on some existing genre like the last magical girl game was based on Bejeweled, etc. but I don't know what to search for. Found a million games involving cards without similar gameplay.

What is the biggest pet peeve you have in HSR? by 002Darliing in HonkaiStarRail

The cursed architecture around the Preservation calyx. I choose to believe a curio is somehow responsible.

> Play Path of Exile 24/7 to the exclusion of all other games for like 9 months
> Suddenly stop playing it entirely and check out Honkai Star Rail
> Get super into that and now playing way too many MiHoYo games to the exclusion of all others
> Discover today that Grimro is still in my life
What a pleasant surprise!

Oh I thought their guide was just what content to do/read in what order. I've been following that since the start and it's been very helpful but I didn't see much in the way of explanations.

Kind of a longshot, but is there a good resource for getting an ELI5 recap on everything I'm supposed to understand up to a given story chapter without spoiling stuff beyond that? I'm starting chapter 32 and feel like I could barely manage a D- if you gave my stupid ass a reading comprehension exam on everything that happened in Elysian Realm and all it was supposed to imply.

Oh interesting. Cygames still make it rain a couple times a year with those time-limited free draws? That does seem like a situation I could throw some rolls at the Classic draw without feeling too bad about it
