The Gaming Den

Well you've still got the situation where the players are going to do whatever tells the more interesting story and ignore the other stuff. If a character fights monsters by night and is a dentist by day, the players are going to want to timeskip all the dentistry and get to the monster fighting. I...

That's the core issue right there. A roleplaying game by definition biases players towards playing characters who make interesting life choices. While it might be correct to keep your job at Circuit City and save money in a health insurance account rather than running off to learn sorcery from a ma...

I started a new no diplo, magic enhanced game. If you want in here's the sign up thread with all the particulars.

Adding some flying troops to a nation with between cap-limited and no flying commanders isn't a huge deal, tho :? And fifty gems for a unique giant 7 path mage that really can't even SC, with little to no path diversification, at the end of the research tree is even less of a deal, yeh? Getting slig...

I've been checking it out today and I'm really impressed. The biggest balance change I see at a glance is being able to reinvigorate all the slaves in an Arco, EA Ermor, MA Marignon, or MA Pythium communion pretty cheaply and easily, which I think is high praise in the face of the scope of your mod.

Pff-ff-ff-ff, jesus. I once found Mt. Chaining(30% Blood Magic Bonus) as LA Ulm in mp. Unfortunately it was a Disciple game and one team actually had a beginning to end plan while one team went all in with a double bless, got dogpiled and eliminated first, one team was actually fighting amongst them...

Yep, copper arm. Cheap forging is his whole purpose after all. Not going to be doing anything too special in combat with F1W1E3 that I can't manage with the nation already.

Didn't even bother to consider ulterior motives, sorry 'bout that folks. I don't like the mod, and not just because it's creator is a fragile jerk. Anyway, does anyone else pick a few nations from each age and create gods to help flesh out and refine different strategies for the preferred nations? I...

More confidently on topic: Agartha got a bit of a boost in the last patch. Pale One troops of every variety got their gold cost reduced by 1, which is pretty nice, but the sacreds, most importantly the EA recruit anywhere Ancient Ones, got a more substantial cost decrease of 10 gold, iirc, so Blood/...

Not sure if this is exactly the right place to bring it up, but people are trying to set up an intercommunity team game over here if a couple'a you fvckers want to join in and represent the den.

Hooray for not being homeless!

Valve dumped, like, six DotA 2 invites into my lap, so if anyone wants one let me know; you can email me your steam at Caliborn@gmail.com

I'm really glad to hear that things are not as bad as they could be, Count. Life has been cruel enough to you as it is.

That new Sim City that's coming out looks pretty great.

I'll send you some good vibes

I hope things work out as works best for you, Maj.

Moon(2009) when spoilers spoilers spoilers spoilers. Nearly every scene was an experience to be rocked by. Hands down my favorite movie of all time.

Whoops

Cutest thing I've ever seen, and yeah, go Luna!

Happy belated birthday, Maxus!
Happy birthday, Chamomile-whom-I-don't-know!

Back to a previous topic. Never had a facebook, never want to, but I did start a Tumblr a couple weeks ago to keep up with online friends that stopped coming around the usual hangout very often. It's been a good source for news, intelligent discussions(a few of them), and neat stuff since I'm select...

Heheh. Thought of that pandemic thing early today. I think it's a pretty good joke.

But yes, thank you all very much for your well wishes.

The first episode isn't highly representative of the rest of the series, it was originally going to be a magical girl type show instead of the slice of life comedy it became. Anyway, Too Many Pinkies was one of my favorite episodes, which was almost immediately surpassed by Magic Duel, and then agai...

Not much of a presence at all around here anymore, not that I was ever much of one, but I felt like dropping by and giving the good news because you people have not ceased being awesome, and helped me refine my thinking quite a lot back then. For which I am still rather grateful. I'm moving to Canad...

Any tips for Shinuyama when you use the Awesome Gods mod? I usually go with the Celestial General(which is improved from the original by giving all of his troops barkskin, has a small aoe lightning bow, and attracts a handful of middle age Tien'Chi heavy infantry types and a short bow equipped light...
