Cute Quinn
[triangle] chapter 5
Cute Quinn
status: the titanic is sinking and Frani wants to write a strongly-worded letter to the iceberg
Doge-lover Joja
Frani be like that
Cute Quinn
oh look Frani is embezzling money from the mine that was just set on fire
AzureChrysanthemum
Frani makes good decisions!
Cute Quinn
I am tentatively assigning Narve the title of Son Boy
Cute Quinn
barkeep recruited
Cute Quinn
moving into combat, I have a broad tactical theory to test
Cute Quinn
and that theory is this:
Cute Quinn
buddy system
Cute Quinn
if people are alone, they're vulnerable to flanking maneuvers
Cute Quinn
if they're in groups of 3+, they're vulnerable to AOE spells
Cute Quinn
so, groups of 2
Cute Quinn
oh okay the enemy force just spawned nine guys, multiple of them acting immediately, in arrow range of Roland
Gabiluzbad
the game is hard
Cute Quinn
I'm fine with that, and probably still winning this fight, just
Cute Quinn
I prefer obstacles that there is literally any way for me to anticipate
Cute Quinn
or react to
Gabiluzbad
that's reasonable
Cute Quinn
GOD I built my entire turn around a Scorch cast that was perfectly assembled
Cute Quinn
and then
Cute Quinn
not enough TP
Cute Quinn
Roland falls back again
Cute Quinn
turn 70
Cute Quinn
set up to win the map on Roland's next turn with a Rush
Cute Quinn
not enough TP
Cute Quinn
why am I so fucking bad at TP management
Cute Quinn
"oh now I can use Now on Roland to try again with 1 more TP, map over"
Cute Quinn
his new position is too far from the exit
Cute Quinn
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"
Cute Quinn
THERE christ
Cute Quinn
that was an annoying map
Cute Quinn
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
Cute Quinn
well
Cute Quinn
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
Cute Quinn
hey, Frederica's situation has improved
Cute Quinn
now instead of people hating her because she's Rosellan, people hate her because she's from Aesfrost
Cute Quinn
seriously what the fuck was in that mine
Cute Quinn
I have a theory but the suspense
Cute Quinn
>Erador: "Hopefully we can make it through the city without those bastards noticing us"
Cute Quinn
>Erador opens gate
Cute Quinn
>0.1 seconds pass
Cute Quinn
>Aesfrosti soldiers: "THERE THEY ARE"
Cute Quinn
question
Cute Quinn
does increasing weapon potency on a mage make their spells hit harder
Cute Quinn
or just physical attacks
Gabiluzbad
I think it increases their magic power
Cute Quinn
holy fuck
Cute Quinn
on the bridge battle
Cute Quinn
one of the enemy shieldbearers
Cute Quinn
knocked Ser Maxwell off the fucking bridge
Gabiluzbad
oh god
Cute Quinn
88 fall damage
Gabiluzbad
That guy's gonna be bragging for months
Gabiluzbad
if he lives
Cute Quinn
he did
Cute Quinn
I gave Maxwell NO backup
Cute Quinn
and he did basically fine
Cute Quinn
well, I don't see Maxwell's body but surely he's dead
