03-05-2020 00:00:43 < IronyOwl!Mibbit@hz60-6-96-87.sd.sd.cox.net: that's cool, but it sounds considerably harder to make your individual soldiers level and then not die on you
03-05-2020 00:00:55 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: Yeah, you mostly either be careful or don't manage it.
03-05-2020 00:00:57 < IronyOwl!Mibbit@hz60-6-96-87.sd.sd.cox.net: also probably overcomplicated
03-05-2020 00:01:12 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: They show you an average number for the unit.
03-05-2020 00:01:21 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: it was marked off with the little flags next to the main flag on each unit.
03-05-2020 00:02:32 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: It can really matter if you get a very good unit with a bunch of kills and a bunch of +valor traits.  If you can make that unit a general to give it extra hitpoints, you can end up with what they call a "Jedi General"
03-05-2020 00:02:48 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: ie, the unit has to 'die' like say six times to actually die.
03-05-2020 00:03:11 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: and it might have 15 attack and defense.  Compared to a normal unit which might have, say, three.
03-05-2020 00:03:16 < IronyOwl!Mibbit@hz60-6-96-87.sd.sd.cox.net: ahaha
03-05-2020 00:03:30 < IronyOwl!Mibbit@hz60-6-96-87.sd.sd.cox.net: that sounds fun
03-05-2020 00:03:31 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: so it's facing like 0.8% chance to be killed each time it's swung at, and like a 40% chance to kill with each swing..
03-05-2020 00:03:50 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: It can be.  I have a couple guys like that in poland.
03-05-2020 00:04:22 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: although one is 'dead drunk', so he's got his ordinary stats (his retainers do the work), but -4 HP, so he'll die somewhat easier than expected.  ;-p
03-05-2020 00:04:47 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: It can be rough when it's like an enemy king and you're trying to get the kill with 0 attack spearmen.
03-05-2020 00:04:56 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: 80 guys later, the spearmen run away..
03-05-2020 00:05:57 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: Also had a bridge battle where the enemy had a 1 man sized unit of Militia Sergents.. basically spearment on horses.
03-05-2020 00:06:02 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: sorry.
03-05-2020 00:06:05 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: mounted sergents.
03-05-2020 00:06:16 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: Turned out in the logfiles that guy had 8 valor.
03-05-2020 00:06:40 < IronyOwl!Mibbit@hz60-6-96-87.sd.sd.cox.net: hard fight?
03-05-2020 00:06:41 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: so he just kinda held the bridge on his own for a minute.  But fortunately wasn't the general so didn't have bonus HP.
03-05-2020 00:06:47 < IronyOwl!Mibbit@hz60-6-96-87.sd.sd.cox.net: ah, heh
03-05-2020 00:07:00 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: That was a rough battle, though not due to him.  I won it in one of the better performances I've had this campaign.
03-05-2020 00:07:14 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: had some I've botched pretty good too.
03-05-2020 00:07:35 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: but when I saw that bridge, I was like damn, I'm going to get stuck.
03-05-2020 00:12:29 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: yeah, checking the logfiles.  Looks like my murderous guy has 7 personal valor.  Or 5 points, +2 from traits.
03-05-2020 00:12:38 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: traits are really nice because they can apply to the whole friendly unit.
03-05-2020 00:16:01 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: Hmm, it seems the guy who isn't dead drunk, Prince Garc has one more than he does, with 8.
03-05-2020 00:16:48 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: ..I also really, really should retrain that unit to give it the armour and weapon upgrades it's missing, because his whole unit has 2-4 base valor.
03-05-2020 00:17:49 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: as a rule of thumb, 3 points is about twice as good.
03-05-2020 00:18:26 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: Heh, there's one.
03-05-2020 00:18:40 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: the last emperor of the germans, Rudolf II, killed 36 guys in his last stand.
03-05-2020 00:20:48 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: I lost 110 men in that battle, so that should say something.
03-05-2020 00:22:20 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: anyway, sorry for blathering IronyOwl
03-05-2020 00:22:32 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: so it's visibly aged far too much, then?
03-05-2020 00:22:57 < IronyOwl!Mibbit@hz60-6-96-87.sd.sd.cox.net: I mean, it looks old
03-05-2020 00:23:03 < IronyOwl!Mibbit@hz60-6-96-87.sd.sd.cox.net: I dunno how it'd feel to play it
03-05-2020 00:23:11 < IronyOwl!Mibbit@hz60-6-96-87.sd.sd.cox.net: but I assume if I wanted to get into Total War I'd go with a more recent one
03-05-2020 00:23:42 < IronyOwl!Mibbit@hz60-6-96-87.sd.sd.cox.net: (I am, somewhat but not entirely coincidentally, watching a video on Total War: Warhammer II right now)
03-05-2020 00:25:06 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: Ahh.
03-05-2020 00:25:13 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: I don't know, you might like the old one better.
03-05-2020 00:25:19 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: fewer buttons to push.
03-05-2020 00:33:13 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: oh, one more thing irony.
03-05-2020 00:33:41 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: Two things.
03-05-2020 00:33:48 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: Nah, just one, nvm.
03-05-2020 00:34:39 < IronyOwl!Mibbit@hz60-6-96-87.sd.sd.cox.net: ???
03-05-2020 00:34:46 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: the wasp swarm is 'small'
03-05-2020 00:34:54 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: so you can shove an arty into the space too.
03-05-2020 00:35:17 < IronyOwl!Mibbit@hz60-6-96-87.sd.sd.cox.net: oh wait
03-05-2020 00:35:28 < IronyOwl!Mibbit@hz60-6-96-87.sd.sd.cox.net: transports have x2 medium, which means x4 small, right?
03-05-2020 00:35:33 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: yes.
03-05-2020 00:35:39 < IronyOwl!Mibbit@hz60-6-96-87.sd.sd.cox.net: I was thinking Large -> x2 Medium -> x3 Small
03-05-2020 00:35:50 < IronyOwl!Mibbit@hz60-6-96-87.sd.sd.cox.net: well
03-05-2020 00:35:59 < IronyOwl!Mibbit@hz60-6-96-87.sd.sd.cox.net: here's hoping I win the bid on that rogue ghostbuster
03-05-2020 00:36:48 < IronyOwl!Mibbit@hz60-6-96-87.sd.sd.cox.net: x2 arty in one med slot and 1 wasp, 1 unstable gentleman of science (or robbing science depots) in the other would probably be better
03-05-2020 00:36:53 < IronyOwl!Mibbit@hz60-6-96-87.sd.sd.cox.net: might have to check with syv on that
03-05-2020 00:37:15 < Devastator!chatzilla@l450-546-43-71.bchsia.telus.net: yes, that's how it goes.
03-05-2020 00:37:32 < IronyOwl!Mibbit@hz60-6-96-87.sd.sd.cox.net: also, even though I don't need MORE kaiju parts, getting more gives me a better selection to choose from
03-05-2020 00:37:39 < IronyOwl!Mibbit@hz60-6-96-87.sd.sd.cox.net: so maybe the infantry would be worth it after all
