wiegieman posted:Really? In daily speech, do you say "November 5th" or "the 5th of November"? In  : "Den 5:e november" Because its the 5th day of that month, which is the eleventh month of that year. From Fastest to Slowest.

Well, we say it "November 5th", and that's why we write it that way.

I usually don't mention dates that often in every day speech, just the actual date number... like today's the 10th. Which I suppose lends more credence to the rest of the world being right about their way of doing date formats. Hope that helps! Boy, can't wait to get some more gameplay footage to tide over this thread for a few hours.

But yes, the Month: Day: Year pattern is infinitely inferior to the Day: Month: Year pattern. I can only assume they adopted the inferior pattern to try and spite us Brit's after they seceded. I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.

Most of our annoying systems are actually legacy holdovers from when we were as British as you guys, we just never fixed them since the plural noun of American is Argument.

I ended up getting both Beastmen and Wood Elves. The WE start seems very difficult, and Amber is annoying. Beastmen are everything I've ever wanted in an army, though. Minotaurs and a Gorebull hero make sieges a piece of cake...and also everything else. Now if only there were a tabletop wargame where I could continue my love of this new army.

It's gonna never actually be released, it's just used to stoke fervor amongst the consumers. At first we thought it'd be Krell, then we thought it'd be someone else, then it was gonna be blank. It'll end up with us thinking Lord Kroak! for lizardpersons as a LL, then some idiot high elf, then another, etc. all the way till TW:W3 where they'll reveal it to be Franz Ascendant. This.. is my dream.

Just when I'm starting to have fun, the game starts doing that bullshit where I kill Karl Franz' Doom Stack in a frantic, pitched battle and it doesn't matter because literally two turns later he's back with a full stack of triple gold bar high-tier units, despite only holding Altdorf. MonsterEnvy posted:Age of Sigmar has actually improved quite a lot as a game. Beastmen are more more viable there then in Warhammer Fantasy. I wouldn't know, no one has played in my area since about three months post-release. There's one guy who comes in and forlornly tries to get people to play it while we're playing KoW, but that's about it. Truth be told, the game could have improved a thousandfold and I'd still not forgive them for blowing up the world and then dumping a watery turd in our hands afterwards and expecting us to be okay with it. jokes posted:What's the setting? Like is there a geography like in WHFB? I feel like it was just a bunch of worlds haphazardly linked together with "magic". There used to be a geography with loads of history and lore. Now it's just "realms" strung together in a weird dimension, where you can't tell the difference between the Sigmarines and the Khornites and Slaanesh no longer exists because they need the game to be rated G to hook the kiddos.

I kind of regret not getting into the tabletop version back in seventh and eighth edition. I was playing 40k at the time but even just one army was such an investment in time and money branching out just seemed too cost prohibitive.

Sigmar, in a vacuum, is kinda middling. It's got a Moorcockian vibe to it, and there's some individual interesting parts (mainly involving the lizardmen) but everything feels super pointless and it's vastly less interesting than the previous setting. Also, Archaon grows even more powerful and recieves a prophetic vision of him killing Sigmar. Yes, he wins the Age of Sigmar

Yes, he wins the Age of Sigmar As a mostly-onlooker, I just really dislike the designs in AOS, and everything I hear about the lore is dull, dull, dull. It's just really generic high fantasy, missing the over the top, ridiculous stuff that 40k has. WFB was a mashup of tropes, to be sure, but they all had a twist to them, such as the way the "protagonist" human faction wasn't some sort of noble medieval analog, it was an early-modern, fractious pastiche of the HRE. I've heard the rules actually got a lot better and the tabletop game is more playable than ever before, but I don't care because it has baloon-dwarfs with excessive gears and tophats.

jokes posted:What's the setting? Like is there a geography like in WHFB? I feel like it was just a bunch of worlds haphazardly linked together with "magic". Kinda I think. But the setting is way way too high fantasy and pretty much impossible to relate to. I like the rule set now, but the setting I can barely understand. Which is why I do hope they bring back the Old World. MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 00:59 on May 11, 2017 |

Sounds like he hired a bunch of regiments of renown, although I suspect you're exaggerating about the full stack as there aren't enough of them for that. They're special units which you can only have one each of at a time. They're based on a regular unit but get max experience and some kind of special ability or stat bonus and can be hired instantly anywhere in friendly territory and don't require any buildings. It is kind of bullshit how they can give you half a stack instantly but the player can do it too if they have the DLC. I think maybe the AI can do it even if you don't have the DLC, which is also bullshit.

The rest were all normal troops, all with at least 1 gold bar of XP. Luckily, I was able to distract them with my brayherd while I ran off to heal up from the previous battle.
