Kung Fu Fist gently caress posted:was your army in forched march? I went my max move distance if that's what you mean, didn't know that meant I could be auto ambushed. Went back to an earlier save, and now I've managed to conquer Reikland, though really the defenders in the final city easily had the strength to break my siege at any time, they just never tried. I'm guessing I now need to conquer all of the other provinces I can see in order to reform the Empire, before moving on to the unmarked swirly poo poo beyond those coloured borders. Atlas Hugged posted:God gently caress Games Workshop and their loving toxic culture. A guy posted a gorgeous Ork army on the FLGS Facebook group and I asked if he'd be interested in playing some Firefight with them as proxying a Marauder army with an Ork one should be pretty straightforward. He replied that he wasn't interested in mixing minis and that "one man's meat was another man's poison". I think the saddest part is that he'll be able to find a game of 40k any time he wants no problem, when really with that attitude he deserves to sit alone at a set out table while everyone else plays other games.

I have Mantic Marauders to possibly use in 2nd ed 40k as Orks to do that Rogue Trader Astronomican campaign. I am stupid though when it comes to dorky things when I have a bright idea. But poo poo why not try a new game with your existing stuff? Are people that afraid of finding a new game they might love? Oh wait. The DnD audience proved the answer is so loving NO on that it's absurd.

Neon Demon was my favorite film last year. It's a hell of a movie and a great companion to Only God Forgives.

Coo, my friend really wants to see it so maybe I'll have to bump it up in the queue. The visuals reminds me vaguely of Under the Skin, which was all-around awesome. I know why it is but it still occasionally astounds me how bad some movies can be and how good others are (especially when the bad ones perform way better than the good ones).

HardCoil posted:Nearly the entire theater burst into laughter at the final NOOOOOOOooooo scene in the third one (I forgot what it's called). As a director, that means something is very wrong with your tragic climax. I wonder if they never screened the movies. There's a reason for this: http://nooooooooooooooo.com/ And I'm pretty sure it's not because the movie was good... Atlas Hugged posted:God gently caress Games Workshop and their loving toxic culture.

At first I thought it was a case of misunderstanding, but yeah a second reading of this and my response is "that guy should be shunned until he realises how much of a lovely attitude he has". But he'll still get games because hams

Thirsty Dog posted:The witch is fantastic, though a lot of people didn't like how it ended. Other way around for me. The Witch was a big disappointment, but after Only God Forgives I had very low expectations for Neon Demon and it blew me away. Maybe our differences can explain why some people love Sigmarines. I just finished my first campaign of Total War Warhammer and it makes me sad that the Old World became balls flying around in space.

But then I auto calculate every single battle because the actual campaign is so much more important to me than spending loving AGES doing every single fight manually. I learned my lesson after wasting loads of money on Medieval and then Empire. I mean gently caress, Empire let me buy Bratislava from Austria which is stupid all on its own.

If that's the case, you're looking for a Paradox game like Europa Universalis or Crusader Kings. Total war is half about epic battles and the political AI isn't that great.

EU/CK are also both jokingly referred to as cuck simulators since there ends up being a lot of soap opera melodrama in your royal family that probably also really did happen in real life.Ashcans posted:That does make sense, after all it's called 'Total War', not 'Half War, Half Treaties' or 'Mostly Political Posturing and Strategic Marriages, With a Little War When We Run Out of Patience'. The half-assed political system of the Rome 2 Greek campaigns was annoying. Who wants to have to assassinate their best general just because he was from a different political party?

I know it really doesn't matter much in TW's case, unlike the more punishing paradox games, but the 2%!!!! increase in stats for gaining overwhelming majority favor! OTOH, having to put down your best generals since they were having delusions of coups is satisfying.

You sometimes do just to get the extra 2% bonus that doesn't really matter. Or, if you use one general too much and they get too ambitious, it saves you the trouble of a civil war.

I mostly want the old Koei kingdom/war games. Problem is the ones I want most are like 30-40 dollar games complete on the Genesis. ( Liberty or Death and Genghis Khan 2. The only one I own is a now manualless Romance of the Three Kingdoms on the Amiga and L Empereur on the NES. Course I just got Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe last week so the games I want eventually get into my hands legally it just sometimes takes a while...) I prefer my 4x type games to mostly be quality turn based combat with a kingdom sim wrapper though. Which is why Master of Orion 2 is still the best loving game in the genre.

So the early look at the new AoS app shows, once again, that GW can sometimes not completely have their head up their rear end. I would have posted this in the AoS thread, but we can't have nice things. The new app is free but has a 99p/month subscription model. This subscription gives you:
Similar to the Privateer app, not unreasonably priced, allows faster future updates of warscroll rules and points. I can also only assume that this is the trial for a similar 40k 8th edition app given the timing. Right now, as bad a game as AoS is, it has components that are better than 40k.
