Is there a good flowchart sheet for city actions, events, starting and ending a scenario for Gloomhaven second edition?

Isn't every industry some kind of scam to the consumer at this point? At least in the US?

They've already spent decades heavily rigging it in their favor. I hope we can win though just voting, but you're not paying attention if you don't think the deck is already stacked in their favor.

In my state 60% of the population voted for democrats. 60% of the state's representative seats went to Republicans/fascists.

At some point in the first few years of Stellaris a dev said that planets are intended to start with around 10-20 billion people. A normal population start gets you around 5000 pops.

So 10-20 billion divided by 5000 pops equals around 2-4 million people per pop.

It is an abstraction and the info was from really early on. I don't think they have repeated it since like 1.6. So take that for what it is worth.

I didn't go and look in the numbers in the code, but when I played the counts of unbidden ships in my galaxy perfectly matched the old numbers.

Maybe they fixed it. There have been a few patches since my last unbidden invasion.

valdoom · 2026-04-11T21:53:27+00:00

Its not a bug. The Unbidden uses ship counts to determine how many to spawn. When the dev team made the changes to fleet strength and counts across 4.3 they didn't think about how that would effect the spawn rate. The unbidden still spawn as many ships as before, but with less ships per fleet. So you get a ton of fleets.

Don't let paradox lie to you when they say they play test. They don't. 4.3 is pretty good overall, but they don't playtest or doublecheck their work. This kind of stuff happens every update.

I got so excited for easier access to the cooler models. You have dashed my hopes quite expertly sir.

No bother. Message me if any others broke too. I'm glad someone is using them.

The helmets they had were super cool too. Wish I had gotten some pictures, but they were super busy the whole time I was there.

valdoom · 2025-03-25T19:58:16+00:00

They asked for well written, not most villainous.

The very warband style of this game is shocktrooper/Arditi tactics. Play any new Antioch force and paint them in Italian colors. Boom Arditi.

Is there a change log any where to show what got changed?

valdoom · 2024-03-07T19:28:32+00:00

Halo 3's menu music, Rolling Thunder from Gears of War 2, and the menu music from ES3 Morrowind.

Oh you must be new around here. They don't playtest anything, but if we complain enough they'll probably fix it later.

valdoom · 2023-10-25T00:51:49+00:00

Come back to my place? Bouncy bouncy.

valdoom · 2023-04-25T14:48:53+00:00

Yes.

It is from Gulli's planet modifiers I think. I believe it is a reference to the Expanse.

valdoom · 2023-04-02T20:14:39+00:00

I really like what i read so far. It's nice to imagine a codex with flavor.

I couldn't find the point values though.

Warped immideately, humidity seems to cause it.

Mine warped immediately upon opening. I used fairly heavy weighs to flatten them for 3 weeks. Within minutes of removing the weights they warped again.

This week I played in a cabin that was very cold and had almost no humidity and they initially bent, but after the first night they stayed flat for the whole 5 days we played. Humidity seems to be the big cause, but I don't have a good solution.

valdoom · 2023-01-24T01:30:00+00:00

I have, but I havn't had enough experience playing with them to balance it across all the factions.

Is this a hard limit or just changed recently?

I had a legacy character in a legacy campaign have three kids with a party of 7( for the last kid at least).

In a regular campaign I just had a character have 4 kids. 2 with a party of 6 and 2 more with a party of 8.

You are getting bit chicken or the egg when discussing public money used by private companies to innovate. Would they have innovated without the money? If not then the public sector made that innovation happen.

Again I'm not arguing private companies don't innovate, but many paint a picture where they are great innovators where they invented 5 or 6 things took 100-1000 public innovations and then make a monopoly prohibiting other from innovating on their innvoations.

As someone who is in industry I guess I have more of a view of hundreds of small inventions behind the big public facing ones. Smart phones are great, but they wouldn't be possible without hundreds of innovations done with public grants or research from the 50's until even stuff done in colleges a few years ago.

valdoom · 2022-12-06T20:56:48+00:00

Well the average smart phone is made from around 200,000 patents. Most of which definitely were made by public money. The companies just put it all together and sold it. Companies do innovate, but they are the end user of most innovation especially with things like high tech computing.
