Quinn Angstrom
[triangle] chapter 5
Quinn Angstrom
status: the titanic is sinking and Frani wants to write a strongly-worded letter to the iceberg
Doge-lover Joja
Frani be like that
Quinn Angstrom
oh look Frani is embezzling money from the mine that was just set on fire
AzureChrysanthemum
Frani makes good decisions!
Quinn Angstrom
I am tentatively assigning Narve the title of Son Boy
Quinn Angstrom
barkeep recruited
Quinn Angstrom
moving into combat, I have a broad tactical theory to test
Quinn Angstrom
and that theory is this:
Quinn Angstrom
buddy system
Quinn Angstrom
if people are alone, they're vulnerable to flanking maneuvers
Quinn Angstrom
if they're in groups of 3+, they're vulnerable to AOE spells
Quinn Angstrom
so, groups of 2
Quinn Angstrom
oh okay the enemy force just spawned nine guys, multiple of them acting immediately, in arrow range of Roland
Villain
the game is hard
Quinn Angstrom
I'm fine with that, and probably still winning this fight, just
Quinn Angstrom
I prefer obstacles that there is literally any way for me to anticipate
Quinn Angstrom
or react to
Villain
that's reasonable
Quinn Angstrom
GOD I built my entire turn around a Scorch cast that was perfectly assembled
Quinn Angstrom
and then
Quinn Angstrom
not enough TP
Quinn Angstrom
Roland falls back again
Quinn Angstrom
turn 70
Quinn Angstrom
set up to win the map on Roland's next turn with a Rush
Quinn Angstrom
not enough TP
Quinn Angstrom
why am I so fucking bad at TP management
Quinn Angstrom
"oh now I can use Now on Roland to try again with 1 more TP, map over"
Quinn Angstrom
his new position is too far from the exit
Quinn Angstrom
I could have cleared this map 30 turns ago
AzureChrysanthemum
Yeah the TP management takes some getting used to, it helps when you get higher promotes and people get some extra management abilities
AzureChrysanthemum
My favorite is Frederica getting a "+1 TP if you kill someone" because her kill condition is "she takes a turn and there's someone who's taken mild damage in range"
Quinn Angstrom
THERE christ
Quinn Angstrom
that was an annoying map
Quinn Angstrom
the combination of "you need to protect a specific unit" and "once any unit passes this point on the map multiple enemies appear within attack range of it and then act immediately" was some rough-ass map design
AzureChrysanthemum
That is the biggest thing Triangle Strategy is guilty of, the enemy reinforcements spawning in ways you had no way of anticipating
AzureChrysanthemum
I honestly tend to slow creep forward these days and play defensively
AzureChrysanthemum
Make them come to me
Quinn Angstrom
well
Quinn Angstrom
I guess Frani won't be making any further bad decisions
Doge-lover Joja
Hard to do that with all that blood coming out of the body
AzureChrysanthemum
He made one bad decision too many
Quinn Angstrom
hey, Frederica's situation has improved
Quinn Angstrom
now instead of people hating her because she's Rosellan, people hate her because she's from Aesfrost
Quinn Angstrom
seriously what the fuck was in that mine
Quinn Angstrom
I have a theory but the suspense
Quinn Angstrom
>Erador: "Hopefully we can make it through the city without those bastards noticing us"
Quinn Angstrom
>Erador opens gate
Quinn Angstrom
>0.1 seconds pass
Quinn Angstrom
>Aesfrosti soldiers: "THERE THEY ARE"
Quinn Angstrom
question
Quinn Angstrom
does increasing weapon potency on a mage make their spells hit harder
Quinn Angstrom
or just physical attacks
Villain
I think it increases their magic power
Quinn Angstrom
holy fuck
Quinn Angstrom
on the bridge battle
Quinn Angstrom
one of the enemy shieldbearers
Quinn Angstrom
knocked Ser Maxwell off the fucking bridge
Villain
oh god
Quinn Angstrom
88 fall damage
Villain
That guy's gonna be bragging for months
Villain
if he lives
Quinn Angstrom
he did
Quinn Angstrom
I gave Maxwell NO backup
Quinn Angstrom
and he did basically fine
Quinn Angstrom
well, I don't see Maxwell's body but surely he's dead
