Anemic Humus Challenge

Did anyone manage to beat that one, on masochist?

Before I could get even 5 Hearos to buy a bigger bus, the starting Humus started to die in numbers, surplus souls got zombified and so I had a zombie invasion right at the start.

Tips for Masochist Challenges?

What tips would you give?

I tried my hands on them but except one (which honestly was on the brink of my temple being destroyed), I failed them all, so them ending in destruction of the temple before the Mandate objectives are completed.

So far, from what I figured, these seem to be correct:

  • Humus Birth Rate is paramount, especially on Day 1 just purify them once, then send them on their way to Resurrection. Get Oulala Studios ASAP to boost their numbers, before serious raids (multiple shamans and higher) start.
  • Don't take boons of that sin, to which they're already vulnerable due to the challenge scenario (e.g. if they're vulnerable to greed in that one, don't take boons pumping up Greed vulnerability)
  • Stay away from Tier 1 Boons, because they make it more difficult to switch the ruler style. E.g. if you have Satan I but desperately need a farmer king, because your people are constantly crying for food and getting gluttonous due to it. OR be prepared to balance that somehow out, e.g. with Humunitarian Aid.
  • Avoid strikes at all cost. If necessary, tear down buildings and fire imps just shy before dawn, to get under what is required.

Can you guys think of any more useful hints?

Strategy or turn-based tactics games where you steer an insurgency

Are there strategy or turn-based tactics games, where you play as insurgents or terrorists?

We all know the examples, where you play as the good guys, like XCOM or various Counter Insurgency Strategy Games, where you fight against the Insurgents.

But is there something like that, where you can play as the insurgents in PvE?

Like the only games that I know that you let play as insurgents or terrorists are either board games (e.g. Fire in the Lake, where you can play, as one of the 4 factions available, the Viet Cong) or more of a grand strategy type game like e.g. "Labyrinth: The War on Terror", so not really the target genre.

[SPOILER]What a crazy ride

So I just finished the campaign... with the false flag bombing of the Hospital at the beginning, launching yet another huge European War, which somehow seemingly didn't see Imperial Germany fall after WW1 ended in 1918 and not weakened by a Treaty? Or did I miss something and there basically was no 1914-1918 WW1 like in our timeline?

With us causing this huge European War, a mysterious benefactor to the Republicans (I guess not the French, since they're busy later in the campaign?) launching an, although shoddy, surprise invasion and gifting them with an Iron Nest of their own and then finally either committing nuclear/explosive genocide or chemical subjugation or sparing the city as a loyalist or ending the madness of Castille...

Oh boy, rarely did I play such a good story!

I'm stocked for the sequel, whenever it comes. I guess, for Iron Nest 2 the eradication or subjugation of Barcelona will be the cannon ending, Castille/Spain becoming a military dictatorship in everything but name only and this country unified by force marching against the Entente!

Seeing Co-Op Multiplayer come to this game would be welcome too.

Competitive Multiplayer imho would be too unbalanced imho, with people just constantly moving and dragging a match into absurd lengths, if we just imagine Phantom Battery as a mission on steroids...

Confederation = Destruction?

Hi guys, currently I'm playing Morathi and her Cult of Pleasure on VH/VH.

One of her Campaign Objectives is to destroy Har Ganeth. I don't know what beef there is in lore, but I got good relations with them, a trade agreement and a NAP with them and with Malekith and I don't want to upset my Son with a Dark Elven Civil War, my northern border with both have been very stable. Since the Dreadfleet and the other Vampire Cost Faction with the opera lady (forgot her name) conquered most of Ulthuan, I also didn't need to go there right away, got good relations with them too and trade.

My main thrust direction was south, since I constantly had to bribe the lizardmen, until I was done dealing with Ostankya, the Wood Elves North of her and the Skaven to the West. So eventually I declared War on them, by now they're destroyed and I'm very deep into Lustria, clearing the remains of Clans Pestilens after a long war, soon the Bloodied Wanderers will be gone too and I'm allied to the Thousand Maws under Rakarth, with the goal if just confederating them, as soon as I can (I have to bribe him a little bit more and build more armies, so he is convinced).

Now I was wondering, if instead of kicking off a huge Dark Elven Civil War, if I could just try to confederate Har Ganeth in the North? Since the Faction then would be gone from the campaign, would that count as "destroying" Har Ganeth too?

Lockbox Missions bugged or changed?

So I started up a new save with 9.0 and "Find Lockbox" missions used to be very easy, fly to an area marked on the map, ping away with long range scan a couple of times, when your scan hits the boxes you're looking for, they were marked on the map, you could open them up => Payday.

Now I fly to an area, scan and find either nothing or the pings found lead me outside of the mission area again, so are the randomly spawning lockboxes, not the mission ones.

I had the problem several times now, so I'm asking myself, if there is something bugged with these missions right now or did they change them somehow?

Though I run a few mods, these are vanilla friendly, none of them are fiddling with missions in any way.

I would like this sub to come back to being a base for ALL asym games, not just being filled near 100% with Roblox Content.

So pls, dear Roblox players, go to your own kind and discuss with people over there, pls leave this sub here or at least stop posting Roblox Stuff here. It is annoying and we miss out on a lot due to this.

Estimate how long starting wares last?

Hello guys,

we all know that the factions started with some goods to have an initial economy going, build a few ships to hold against the Xenon for a while etc.

But what is your estimate, how long these starting wares last in your saves? A few hours of playtime? A few days?

My estimate goes to around 4-6 hours playtime, when I usually see first shortage appear, but what is your experience? And did the new patch change something about it?

PS: Had to add some flair for rules, even though this is not really Beta-related, it isn't a Meme or Modified Question either...

Bin ich verpflichtet, die Rundfunkbeitragsnummer rauszurücken?

Moin zusammen, folgender Sachverhalt:

Ich bin vor ca 1 1/2 Jahren nicht im Guten mit einem Ex-Mitbewohner auseinandergegangen. Ich bin Hauptmieter der Wohnung, er war mein Untermieter. Die Rundfunkgebühr bezahle seit jeher ich.

Ich war froh, nachdem die Kaution an ihn abgewickelt war, dass ich mit ihm nichts mehr zu tun haben musste und nichts mehr von ihm hörte... dachte ich.

Heute habe ich eine Mail von ihm erhalten, er sei angeblich mit dem Rundfunkbeitragsservice in Klärung und bräuchte einen Nachweis, dass in der Zeit von seinem Einzug bis zu seinem Auszug (August '24 bis Ende Januar '25) ich die Rundfunkbeiträge gezahlt habe und ich meine Beitragsnummer ihm mitteilen solle.

Ich habe Null Vertrauen zu ihm, er hat mein Leben in den letzten Wochen seiner Untermietung zur Hölle gemacht, inklusive Weigerung Miete zu zahlen (hab ihn dafür auch damals abgemahnt, liegt noch per E-Mail vor, hat er damals aber auch schriftlich gekriegt), daher frage ich mich, ob ich verpflichtet bin, vor allem nach der langen Zeit, hier mitzuwirken und ihm meine Beitragsnummer rauszurücken?

Ich traue ihm nicht und mir kommt die Geschichte fischig vor, warum sollte der Rundfunkbeitragsservice erst jetzt, 1 1/2 Jahre später, an ihn herantreten? Ich kenne es von vorherigen Mitbewohnern so, die ich über all die Jahre hatte, dass die sich innerhalb von Wochen gemeldet haben.

Ist es alternativ möglich, falls ich zu irgendeiner Mitwirkung verpflichtet sein sollte, dass ich mich selbst beim Rundfunkservice melde und denen das mitteile, dass die ihre Daten abgleichen sollen, sodass ich meinem unbeliebten Ex-Mitbewohner meine Beitragsnummer nicht nennen muss und der Beitragsservice das intern klärt?
