A jumping puzzle fight in a game with Dark Souls 1 controls is a bit cruel but Lost Izalith having been thrown together in about ten minutes because they ran out of time was the real problem with that part of the game.

Still fun tho

There was a recent fortnite exploit that let people get a free old cash cosmetic set. Epic patched the exploit and removed the cosmetic set from everyone who didn't pay. It was easy for them to do. No bans.

i feel like blizzard is still salty the rmah didn't work out. they had plans for how much insane money it was going to make and it didnt work out, so grudgingly had to shift d3 development into making something good without monetization. that will never be allowed to happen again.

I finished the Italian campaign of Age of Empires 2. This one is about Francesco Sforza, a condottiero who fought his way into becoming the Duke of Milan, and how he got there.

(tangentially, I had, as a child, read about Caterina Sforza, his grand-daughter, and her conflict with Cesare Borgia, but the story of Francesco was new history to me)

I had written about the Italians before in a multiplayer context

relative to the Byzantines, whose campaign I previously completed, the Italians lack the final Spearman upgrade, which means they're stuck at Pikemen rather than Halberdiers. Since the Italians also lack access to camels, this makes them especially vulnerable to other factions with very strong cavalry

this became an issue in the final mission of the campaign, where one of the enemies you have to deal with are Franks, who specialize in cavalry and have especially powerful Paladins - it was an uphill battle to fight them off

otherwise, the Italians have cheaper gunpowder units, meaning I could use Bombard Cannons instead of Trebuchets for sieging down buildings and walls, and their unique unit, the Condottiero, which has a bonus against gunpowder units, was well-suited to fighting off other Italian factions and their hand cannoneers. And so while their "trash units" are weaker/more expensive than the Byzantines, their gold-cost units are that much stronger

the campaign also featured water battles on at least two maps, which I had not had to contend with before, but learned quickly

there was one mission that had a great gimmick: you started off in one town with a number of available military production buildings, but no villagers - there were three towns that started the game as hostile to you, but if you managed to break in and deliver a Relic to their Monastery, they would convert to your side and send you a scripted trickle of wood/food/gold. So the mission starts off as a no-base-building challenge where you have to carefully husband your forces, but after you capture at least one town you're able to transition into a more traditional mode of building up troops and making moves without needing to micro every individual unit. It's a nice compromise between the full shebang of having a Town Center and villagers and needing to develop a whole economy.
