Rome and Persia were known to be two great rivals, constant vying with each other for dominance. However, this constant conflict led to both sides becoming greatly weakened, leading to early modern conquests and attacks by the Rashidun Caliphate to smash through both sides, leading eventually the destruction of both centuries later.*

The magic from Dusk of Oolacile is kinda crazy

I grabbed her because I really didn't want to use the skull lantern or the sunlight maggot in the tomb of the giants. But the invisibility spell means that my current build (a lot of dexterity) is now an excellent assassin.

So good in fact that i'm thinking of no longer grabbing pyromancy and just grabbing a few spells. It'll cost me attune points and intelligence. But magic utility is too good.

Should i add lightning damage to a weapon?

I'm currently mainlining a Manserpent great sword, and I've hit it to +10. Now I've hit a snag. I need more power, but I think I've hit a limit on how much power I can shove into the sword. (I'm in the giant forge) I can either start saving souls to level up, or I can try and make my sword lightning. What's the best way to deal with this? Because the next guy is two bosses attacking at once.

How do you deal with the wider-scale systems?

I've just made the unfortunate choice to get to Xcom 2. And I have several questions

  1. Xcom enemy unknown had you automatically getting money from the countries. But in xcom 2, you have to somehow search for it. Does this affect the economy?

  2. I accidentally left things to go on too long and the Avatar project completed. Other than smashing those advent black sites, what else can I do?

  3. What's the best way to maximize economy here, seeing as half of my problems seem to stem from not having enough money for everything?

  4. What's the research I should focus on the most? I only have a limited amount of time, and I need the most bang for my buck.

How do you play oathtakers?

I've decided to mix it up and play this guy and it really hurts. Some of these oaths are straight up debuffs. Also, I'm just starting out and I realize that its day 40 and I'm in Nomad land.

Have you ever bought a famed bow before? [Vanilla BB]

I've bought famed armor. I've bought famed weapons. In fact, I have a dozen of each in my peasant militia playthrough. But not one famed bow. In fact, in my thousand or so hours of playing battle brothers, in different origins, I've only gotten one famed bow worth a damn, and that was from a desert stalker. The rest were famed goblin bows from champions.

Considering that they're so hard to find, has anyone actually bought one?

How did wars get financed in pre revolutionary france, and when did that change?

I'm aware that several analysis on the French revolution based it on Finances. The lack of taxes, poor taxation, and the fact that france was in several wars, lost them, and now had to deal with the debt.

I'm aware that wars can be very difficult to finance and that the way the french financed it led to problems down the line. But what made it so bad compared to britain, or other countries down the line? What changed in the financial system so that the constant cycles of borrowing and spending because of war ended?

ELI5: How do people make shapes and products with high melting point?:

A lot of shaping and making involves heating something up, reshaping it, then letting it cool down. But some stuff has really really high melting points. Refractory bricks. High temperature alloys. What's used to deal with them after they're used or in their manufacture

How do smaller generators create a constant power supply?

I'm aware that in our own electrical grid, we have a lot of stuff that goes into smoothing out constant disruptions and sudden losses of power.

What about those really small generators that are usually seen in rural areas or serve as backup generators? I know that every internal combustion engine has an optimum speed (I don't know how) but how does it turn power generation up or down when consumption fluctuates?

How do you position and use late game nimble brothers?

  1. I'm aware that nimble is great

  2. I sent my nimble axe user against three orc warriors, and it turns out that the surround bonus is a bitch. He barely survived

  3. I know that late game nimble exists, but I've been using heavy battle forged (all of them famed). How'd you use them so they don't die?

When is underdog a good or bad idea?

Consider this. When attacking large camps or in the larger battles, you tend to be vastly outnumbered. Even with peasant militia, you can run into serious problems when they swarm you, surround you, then kill you.

Should the underdog perk be taken for more brothers, other than dedicated tanks?

How'd you use duelist?

I think I get the hang of the runaway. Activate Hearthlight . Put burn on the enemy, and focus fire.

How'd I use the duelist? She appears to have a two stance moveset like the abomination, but with far lower damage. Dancing components like the graverobber or the shieldbreaker, but with no blight. So far I'm getting by on lunge and stuns, but I think there should be something more.

Can enemy champions disappear?

Took a three skull contract for a suspicious amount of money. Found out why, because not only did they have a shaman, but they had two champion goblin archers and one goblin skirmisher. Started getting wiped out.

Ran away and started going through a training montage. Levelled up, raided bandit camps, attacked an orc warlord, bought kite shields for everyone, and attacked the camp again. At night

Only to find out that the champions were gone.

This is slightly upsetting. Do the champions just disappear, or have they moved?

Best ways to use the Estoc?

I think I made it ok. Give as much initiative as possible. Give all the melee attack he can take. Grant him perks for increasing initiative.

But what about positioning? What opponents does he face? How exactly do I shove this guy into a team?

Barbarian Chosen cleavers are really scary

Brother got hit for two stacks of bleed. He's going to die. I was going to bandage him up, but I forgot. And then he died after his round. I was hoping he'll survive just one more round...

What kind of perks for fat neutrals?

I know via basics of the build. Get enough fatigue for the heaviest armor, and then pump up health and resolve. My deserter in question had huge melee defense and sub par attack.

The question is what other perks?

Obviously we can't get perks that cost stamina or ap, so that's several perks out of the way. Recover is probably out, since the fatigue pool is so small.

You can cheese nomad camps with good enough ranged brothers

Not sure if this is cheese or exploit but I just wiped out half a dozen nomad camps using this.

  1. Line up brothers with anti range shields

  2. Get brothers with roughly 60 ranged attack and second tier crossbows.

  3. Put your crossbow men in the front line.

  4. Aim at the nomads at the gaps in the fortification

  5. Nomads get hit and injured. They fire back but you survive the counter attack

  6. Continue injuring and hurting them. I've wiped out several dangerous nomad outlaws and half a camp this way

  7. Profit because they're down to three archers and two melee, while you're still fresh and ready to rumble.

  8. Loot the camp

Brother guidelines for Peasant militia

Seeing as how we can only get lowborn brothers, this is probably something that we should really need or we're going to have to waste a lot of time. Peasant militia lets you bring 16 men into the field, at the cost of all those men being from lowborn peasant backgrounds (no sellswords, no knights, etc). So since we can't get high level backgrounds, we optimize what we have.

Deserter: Background with marginal military training, but makes up for it with dismal resolve

Militia: So far, one of the better backgrounds for this, with no glaring weaknesses I can see.

Farmhand: One of the better brothers, with high levels of fatigue and health. With enough stars, this guy can be a duelist cleaver with battleforged armor

Lumberjack: High level fatigue and health. Moderate chance for higher melee attack

Cripple/ refugee/ vagabond: Starting brother, but with low health and low fatigue

Brawler: Can trigger an event that gives you brothers greater fatigue or melee attack. Has suitable health, and has higher melee attack and fatigue. Not great for ranged fighting.

Manhunter: from the southern corners of the map; Low melee defence, but has higher melee attack

Ratcatcher/ Thief: High Initiative, suited for estocs and fencing swords

Butcher: Moderately Melee attack, and can come with the bloodthirsty trait (good for zombies). Do not let this guy do the corpse part event (he will cut off a finger).

Poacher/ Hunter: Seek them out for having a brother with actually good ranged attacks

Miner: Moderate health, moderate resolve, but weak fatigue.

Correct me if I missed out anything

[Animiru] Can anyone else use Animiru and the Aniwave extension to download the second Puella Magi Madoka movie?

I've managed to download the third movie (rebellion). Exact same app. Exact same extension.

Somehow, it does not work.

I've even downloaded Aniyomi (Animegg/ mapple) and it can't download the movie either.
