Zodiac5000 posted:Hmm.... worth 207,360,000 soldiers, eh? But that 207,360,001st soldier, he's just too much? I guess I don't blame the Mahamaharathi for losing at that point, I got bored of Dynasty warriors at like 3,000 kills in a stage and he's blowing that out of the water. his arm probably feels like a soggy noodle attached to a brick. I mean, that's a lot of soldiers. Let's say he's consistently killing 10 soldiers every tenth of a second, so six thousand soldiers per minute. That would still take him 34,560 minutes, or 576 hours, or close to Dammerung fucked around with this message at 04:07 on May 20, 2020 |

We don't need to play show and tell with everything, we can just relate that bit of our trip and say something like "We didn't get to go inside, but the residents of Badad did say they would consider trading for some goods" and if he asks, we say they want some weird rocks that they gave us samples of. Then we can go from there.

I imagine that, seeing as it’s likely the PtB disappeared the problematic ones during Everstrikes forging, the issue won’t be whether or not we can mine these rocks, but whether or not we can trade them Remembering Tudiyas ever so slight issue with people trading ‘riches of the earth’ to other cities without permission plus who know what kind of true tales the annuals say about Badad

During the trip it was noted that Enkidel and Uriah weren't getting any better at running. I thought the thing with the blooded was that the more they do it the better they get. Is Uriah at his run really fast cap?

They won't let us get too fast or we'll become an unbeatably agile pedestrian horse archer. Just kiting demons around Ur for weeks until we get them within an easy walk to a temple before turn them into pincushion. Same reason they won't let us fly. Bows are OP with the right strat.

I think that any economic slowdown Kavodel suffered during our absence will be mitigated by our growing legend's increased <???> gains radiating out into the town. Not to mention all the technology we uncovered. We're going to give Kavodel's tech level a massive boost with the tower's secrets. Screws alone are going to drastically change to how things get assembled.

Someone (David's family I think?) invented seed drills last timeskip too, which in real life can be anywhere from a 5x to 9x modifier on crop yields. Between proliferating seed drills and wheelbarrows and the plant care tips we got from Amos/the Nikall priestess/Karnak I expect food yields to explode to an even more ludicrous level, and that's not factoring in what it does to all the other sectors of the economy. Wheelbarrows are also gonna make construction projects so much easier and our mines more productive, plus the mining tech obviously, and spirals should hopefully revolutionize carpentry if we can figure out a way to mass produce them. Big things coming on the horizon for Kavodel.

Is Uriah at his run really fast cap? I thought that it was that the more blooded you are, the less rest you need, so you can just keep on chugging all day and then take a 4 hour power nap. At a certain point, we reach increasingly diminishing returns on that, since we're not actually running faster.

Uriah is faster than Enkidel is overland, at least for a while, but when you account for his need to rest he's slower than Enkidel over extremely long distances. Enkidel requires so much less rest that he can run potentially forever if needed, although resting is a good idea. Just doing a thing and getting better at it implies that there's something you can physically improve upon, like your lung capacity or whatever. Both Enkidel and Uriah are in such good shape and literally super human to the point where they've already maxed that stuff out. Further improvements will come from additional super human enhancement, not training. Aaron didn't get as fast as he is because he ran a lot, he got that fast by being really blooded and having enough time for his super powers to kick in. For either Uriah or Enkidel to get faster they'll just have to wait for increasing buffs, and in Enkidel's case perhaps getting to the point where zero rest is required with no drawbacks for not resting.

Basscop posted:More sparring and speed focused training Is that how it would work? I'm not sure accepting and playing by the rules lets you break them. Could Enkidel be like Neo in that he needs to realize that attempting to excel within the bounds of Urthly physics is a fool's game? He needs to see BEYOND (which he can only do in a fugue state currently)

Think when a behemoth is gonna crush us witha giant paw instead of votes saying "realize that youre gonna die here" they instead say "step out of the way and punch its head into orbit, your friends saw a blur and then the behemoths head disappeared into the sky" I'm of the opinion that this will happen over time, regardless of our particular training goals. Getting more ??? in the well seems to have many effects, and reflexes/speed are among them. Since physical strength appears to have mostly leveled off I think any gains now are going to translate to other areas like endurance or speed. We might be able to try and push some sort of allocation priority, or it may simply be that this is the way nephilim grow in power and that's that. If we can try to adjust how it's allocated, to emphasize speed over toughness or endurance, I don't think the way we do that is training. We already spar with Uriah all the time and he crushes us while potentially going easy on us, and I think we trounce everyone else in Kavodel. I'm not sure how stepping that up will help, I think we'd have seen gains already if we were going to see them. It's not like we did loads of deadlifts to influence our physical strength growth, it just happened that way. At the same time our training with Ish seems to have the most effect as far as efficiency in our supernatural abilities, which increases to our reflexes and speed seem to be part of. Maybe it's Ish training we want?

Basscop posted:More sparring and speed focused training I don't think that's how Enkidel works, like people said Aaron didn't get lightning fast by doing reflex drills he got lightning fast by waiting for his magical bullshit effects to grow to that point. There's no real indication that Enkidel's raw physical properties can be significantly improved right now beyond waiting for the passive buffs to scale, no matter how much we lift our muscles aren't getting stronger etc. E: Beaten by Olo. Yeah, maybe if we train with Ish enough we'll unlock access to our control panel and can move the [???] currently in disease resistance over to reflexes and speed, but I doubt spending 10 hour a day sparring will do it. Especially when we really don't have a spare 10 hours anyways. Crazycryodude fucked around with this message at 18:00 on May 20, 2020 |

Trying to get physically stronger is a losing proposition at this point. If we want to get more powerful, we need to work out our Mystical Muscle so that we can use Super Moves without setting ourselves back 7 years of progress. We need to concentrate our inner-potency. Right now, it takes like a gallon of ??? to use our No Damage hack because our juice is thin. We need to work on that.

friendly reminder that our sandals allow us to move forever until we stop and all the exhaustion et al catches up to us. at this point it doesn’t matter because that kind of upkeep on our body requires less than passive regen. we can do anything for effectively forever if we don’t stop moving our feet while doing it and then taking a huge power nap after.

At this point, I think the Wall Walking and being able to alter our footprints are the two primary powers. Our Stamina hack isn't as necessary now that we can run full tilt for weeks at a time anyways. I mean, I guess it'll be handy if we're in an Oh poo poo situation and have to run all the way from one end of the world to the other, but the ability is much more niche/circumstantial than it used to be.

Just remember that the effect of staving off hunger, thirst, and fatigue only works while walking. Enkidel doesn't benefit from that stuff if he so much as jogs, let alone runs.
