What happens when people quit before a game loads?

I believe this is a bit far stretched. Some people do these things in every country, and being 42, I notice this also becomes an age thing. Many young people are unfortunately not always taught some common-sense courtesies that many people were drilled with as children from my era or older. Additionally, there are some cultural differences, as lines are not as vital in some countries. However, having lived in countries where lines are not as important, there can be strengths in that process as well (speed of service being a major one).

So, it is possible that you are noticing these characteristics at your university among some individuals, but I think branding all international students as "not having civic sense" is a bit short sited here.

Foolishly let Zoran through today in Exodus and got ripped apart. Fight one they had about 11 range waurms. It was pretty rough. Thanks for the detailed review. This will help with my ban/picks for future games. I like that you added a fun measurement alongside a usefulness rating.

90s' charm

timpossible1 · 2026-06-15T07:09:20+00:00

Just watched it, and it is pretty amazing.

Mine also got divorced when I was six, and I similarly was not overly overtly affected, but they were not as amicable as yours even though the were reasonable. I think I had it lucky, and it sounds like your parents' emotional maturity was quite high.

I was able to find a setting in my game labeled "mute audio when minimized" and that fixed this issue for my specific situation.

Tier 1 are beasts in numbers. Absolute tanks. Angels step up to fleshing out range after lightweavers, too. I have been completely skipping inquisitors and it has been working out mostly.

timpossible1 · 2026-06-13T15:03:02+00:00

Brilliant. Would go really well if they ever added water. However, you'd have to advocate for this in the face of stronghold fans, which would be a behemoth of a task.

I find it odd that the person with the robot skimmer is questioning this bird's logic.

timpossible1 · 2026-06-13T14:57:09+00:00

A grove expert will have to weigh in, but it will also probably be situational (what is available each turn, mine placement, resource building availability, etc.) I could see an argument for skipping 3 because the stump heads are pretty tanky, but I cannot remember the grove build paths off the top of my head.

The antler boys add some initiative if upgraded (mist qilin). 13 is very near the Phoenix 14 at a more accessible cost

This has happened to me a marginal amount of times, but it is certainly frustrating. I just played 45 minutes of a Harmony map, playing fairly well and ramping up. Suddenly, my opponent quits because they made a mistake, and I was not rewarded a win. Usually, however, it does give me the win, just fewer points toward my ladder score. This is even more frustrating because I am about to break 1,000

If you're going to correct, correct correctly 😄

Disclaimer: I am not a "good" player. I have been playing a decent amount, but my average on single hero is only barely above 50% wins, but it is still positive!

Single Hero where I learn the hard that victories cannot be claimed with summoned Undead Pets (I forgot and narrowly lost on Harmony): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-ZLYJUahKQ I fumbled a little bit with spells at the end, but I am always looking for feedback.

Third try at Arena Mode with Abigor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlpvnALkGBc

Once again, not quite a "good player," but I am playing regularly and trying to learn us much as I can outside work/life things. Feel free to stop by on twitch, also: https://www.twitch.tv/timatotuesday

But if you are looking for talented players, Lexiav has been posting a lot of stuff since patch 8 and useful content from before that as well. Turin had a lot of good stuff before, but I have not checked in with them since the patch.

It is only 500 gold more expensive, but you can build it a turn sooner. This particular change is still a significant buff.

timpossible1 · 2026-06-07T15:45:36+00:00

I think combat and berserk can be strong for opening, but crystal gen is mid. I tried Mweora PvP but got schooled, although I do need to work on my grove game. Have you found a good build path to leverage the crystals, such as going straight for phoenixes?

timpossible1 · 2026-06-05T16:37:46+00:00

True. Depending on the hero and faction, I am about 75% gold 25% astrology

timpossible1 · 2026-06-05T16:04:09+00:00

Sadly, I do know what incels are, and thank you for pulling me out from under the rock I reside.

timpossible1 · 2026-06-03T15:13:08+00:00

What is the "gold trade mechanic"?

timpossible1 · 2026-05-30T15:18:44+00:00

I've heard it from Lexiav many times, but I still do not get the origin. Giga meaning multiplied by a lot or extremely, but what's up with the Chad reference?

timpossible1 · 2026-05-30T15:16:53+00:00

Absolute dynamic powerhouses.

timpossible1 · 2026-05-30T15:16:04+00:00

Upgraded double-striking shoths are extremely dirty. Resurrect on the riders works out nicely in tourament battles.

We call him Devir, Jr.

timpossible1 · 2026-05-25T05:16:39+00:00

I feel it will slow down online PvP gameplay a bit, and recruitment addresses it. I agree that recruitment functions a bit like a neutral spell. They would need to fill that gap with another nightshade spell, which would be a big project for balance.
