The serious players that want to play for free can use this to play the game for nothing more than in-game money.

I don't even really know what to say to people who legitimately have the entire world rigged against them.
FormerRei@mobile
What does that even mean? To "legitimately have the entire world rigged against you"?
Kirara π
It means that nearly every institution is not going to help them and that they have no opportunities for pulling themselves into a better place in addition to facing problems with the way people perceive them in society which further limits their opportunities for life improvement. They also take care of other people that are in the same position but also disabled. The world is rigged against them. They never had a chance at success and never will unless a lot changes.
FormerRei@mobile
I get what you mean I guess. I still think its just a little bit defeatist to say they never had a chance and never will have a chance at success (currently). But only a little bit.
Kirara π
It's similar to how if Nazis won, Jews that survived would never have a chance at success.
That's basically the situation for Native Americans in the US. They live in land that is occupied by oppressors that regularly kill them and steal from them and jail them. Native Americans are treated like subhumans by the government and by corporations and things are completely stacked against them. Their options are to abandon their tribe and "become white" or do sit on their reservation and wait to die, generally. There are only two or three tribes that don't fall into that dichotomy, although I guess some have technically managed to become successful while maintaining their non-whiteness by turning their tribes into caricatures of their former selves in order to elicit tourism money, like the Miccosukee.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
They should just end the reservation stuff and treat them as they treat every other citizen or actually give them land to form an independent state of their own
Kirara π
yeah, they should be given large portions of their original land back at the absolute least but every time they get land, the government takes it away later because valuable resources were found there or because a corporation wants it
FormerRei@mobile
>>428665 That's really never going to happen, depending on what you mean by "large" .
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
We have our sami, who are treated the same as any citizen though they do have some privileges so that their culture can continue, like special fishing rights and reindeer herding rights etc amusingly, they //some of them have begun using the sjw tactics to get more recently well demand more rather.
Kirara π
nearly every single treaty with every tribe has been violated by the US government but the tribes have no way of fighting back
>>428666 by large i mean large enough that it will absolutely never happen unless we go full Shadowrun
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
but a reasonable solution would be to end the reservation status, grant the land they have now to them like every otherl and owner in usa owns land and treat them the same as every other citizen that wey they could atleast not be fucked over without fucking over the basic rights any american has and they could plead to the constitution etc and not some treaties
FormerRei@mobile
>>428663 The "leave the tribe and become 'white'" really is something more of them should do (I'm sure its very difficult and whatnot). But they have a better chance at success with that than rotting on the reservation. Assuming by "become white" you mean "leave the reservation and go to college or getting an actual career".
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
The whole reservation afterall was just a stop gap measure and also practically an interment camp at the time I don't see why that should still apply to modern world
Kirara π
>>428669 Unfortunately, if that happens, then the tribes lose a lot of autonomy that allows them to maintain their identity.
>>428670 Your way of thinking is wrong. There's nothing wrong with them living the way they want to live or as the way their ancestors lived, especially if it's not harming anyone. They should be able to find success on their reservations, in their tribes, without being forced to abandon thousands of years of heritage.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>428673 indeed, it would fuck them short term and require them to really work for it but it might be beneficial in the long term might atleast be worth researching into,
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE

TN !PcAPtAiNJo
The other solution is to go the micronation way and actually let them form micronations like ones in europe vatican, liechestein, andorra etc or hong kong in china you could cut away some of the reservation territories in turn, but give them large enough areas to form these countries there is lebensraum in the USA afterall
FormerRei@mobile
>>428673 Then what do they mean by "becoming white"?
FormerRei@mobile
>>428673 So is it truly impossible for them to integrate themselves into outside society without abandoning their identity? Also it would be nice if they could be successful on their reservation but we both know that's exceedingly unlikely and shouldnt be considered an option.
Kirara π
>>428676 That would be better, but still difficult since they have such little land.
>>428678 Ugh. You're thinking like a settler. Yes, that's impossible. They cannot continue their heritage and tribal society in the way they want to on the land they consider to be sacred if they leave and go to college and get a job off the reservation.
The fact that it's not an option is a major problem here. Because abandoning everything isn't an option either. So they're stuck in a horrible limbo.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>428679 That is the main problem USA would have to give territory you'd have to be master of PR to pull that through people might be for it, but the elites are always against losing stuff even if it is some shit filled rock in the middle of the sea
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
and then the last solution I can come up with have the vrious tribes form STATES of their own states as in new states in the union
FormerRei@mobile
>>428679 I think I understand what you mean now. Although I'm sure anything I try to rebut will be dismissed with "you're thinking like a settler".
Kirara π
The first time I was on a reservation, I was talking to some of the Shoshone there, and they told me a story about an Arapahoe woman who left the reservation to go to college and when she came back, people had problems accepting her and called her an apple, which is the slur used by many Natives to refer to people that are "red on the outside and white on the inside" The first time I heard that story, I thought, "That's ridiculous. The Natives should be going out and going to college and becoming more civilized. It's the only way they can survive." But I understand now that I was wrong because now I understand that western values aren't necessarily right and that there are different ways to doing things. The reason things are so bad for them is because western values were half-assedly forced on them and their way of life has been under attack for hundreds of years now. I was thinking like a settler. Now I understand it a little bit better, and I think it's somewhat more reasonable. It's hard to accept someone that you feel as abandoned your people's way of life. The indigenous people deserve the right to maintain their way of life and to live freely on their land - not the land that was "given" to them, but the land that was stolen from them. The land that was stolen from everyone.
>>428684 I don't think anyone was in the wrong, but I don't think she was right to think she could go to college and then come back like it was no big deal. It was a betrayal of the values of that tribe. She broke taboos and insulted her ancestors and fellow tribe members.
FormerRei@mobile
I'm familiar with it. But who do you think was in the wrong there?
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
is the difference between all other conquest/colonisations around the world the locals elsewhere were integrated slowly into the society cogs into the machinery, meat into the grinder and slowly grew to be part of the society the invaders formed, whether as second class citizens or full ones, depending on area and empire but in USA, the natives were forced from their lands and into the reservations to scrape by, excommunicated from the society en large instead of being invited to join and work together
a quite unique position compared to the european imprialism
FormerRei@mobile
>>428683 They are never getting that land back and all of your poignant complaints about it and focuses on the way things should be or what they deserve does nothing but ignore the idea that maybe they'll have to make shitty compromises with whatever in order to continue their existence until maybe the US government does something to improve how the native's rights are enforced or something even better.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
The problem with "land that was stolen" is, how far back can you got? at what point does it end?
Kirara π
>>428686 Survival being all that matters is another one of those western values. There are many tribes that would rather go extinct than become white.
To say that they should just make a "shitty compromise" and integrate so they can survive and be successful is ridiculous and really ethnocentric. To say that we should just ignore genocide is ridiculous. To say that we should just ignore injustice is ridiculous.
FormerRei@mobile
>>428688 Then if they feel that they must die instead let them do it.

Curiously, some tribes in russia manage to keep their ways somewhat but I guess that is simply because russia doesn't give a fuck about them they live in the remote regions of russia and pay their taxes Though being the dicks they are, they enforce russian language and thus actively kill some languages every decade

>>428688 I never said we should ignore genocide or ignore injustice. And when I said "shitty compromise" I just meant some hypothetical thing, not the specific one you came up with.
Kirara π
>>428690 The land should be free land. The land never belonged to any tribe, though they did have sacred places on the land they inhabited. The land belonged to nature.
>>428692 It sure sounds to me like you think they should just integrate, though.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Well you can say that is how you think things should be, but if we remove the necessary evils such as states and isntitutions, things will be worse for even more people and for a long period at that than at the moment they are for few.
FormerRei@mobile
There have been many cultures over the years >>428693 I think you are entirely disregarding the idea that their culture can (I'm not neccesarily saying it should) change and that they can "integrate" while still maintaining their cultural identity. I'm not saying they have to, but cultures can change, if they feel that they need to do you think that they should not?
Kirara π
>>428694 I don't think that it'd be hard to do the bare minimum and designate portions of land as free land where those people are free to live as they please on their sacred lands and ancestral lands without large corporations actively destroying it.
Kirara π
>>428695 Cultures naturally change, of course. But that doesn't mean any people should be in a position where they have to take on values that contradict their own - as the western values contradict the ancestral values of most tribes.
FormerRei@mobile
The world isn't fair, it sure sucks what the US has done and cobtinues to do to them. I won't spend anymore time discussing this, I think I have a much better understanding of your perspective now. But this is truly unfortunate, like many other things that probably won't ever be truly solved.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>428696 Well that is what I said in my micronation proposalΓΆ I think it would be the most reasonable and best long term solution just give the tribes the most important parts of their original land back compensate anyone who loses on part of usa and let them govern themselves
Kirara π
>>428699 It'd be hard to do micronation. THere are 526 federally recognized tribes living on like 320 reservations across the United States.
>>428701 No, but I don't think making them move from where they've been living for the last 100 years is a good idea either.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>428700 Basically some of them would have to compromise is not like the reservations all are on their original territory

Also most Israelis actually have reasonable opinions about how to deal with this issue, but the religious right seems to want to just annihilate the Palestinians and are trying to get the government to do it.

>>428712 yeah for every israeli they kill, israel kills like 100 palestinians
>>428715 i think it's a little bit lower, but i mean in the most recent "war" a few years ago i remember it actually being like, israel killed seven times more palestinians than palestinians killed israelis or something my 100 number was a hyperbole

israel has the resources to literally just take out individual hamas operatives somewhat frequently and still chooses to bomb and knowingly kill civilians in addition to their hamas target

there was a story a few months ago about how this palestinian dude was just minding his business when he was caught in the crossfire from a bomb and lost his legs but he had a bunch of kids so he had to keep working and he'd wash cars and stuff, legless, and he managed to be super spry without legs, he'd slide around and walk acround the cars on his hands and shit he started protesting israel after that, too, peacefully he'd climb up flagpoles and wave a palestinian flag

I don't know if I distinguish well between normal dreams and nightmares anymore.

>>428974 I can fall asleep after nightmares usually, but not after trauma-related nightmares. They're just different.
Yuu
is bang still present/
>>428978 Well hopefully you'll get to feeling sleepy here soon!
Every now and then I start to get paranoid that I'm sabotaging myself when I'm too much asleep to remember doing it. I woke up two hours after my alarms should have woken me up today, but my phone had no record of me sleeping through them, which means they were manually turned off. But I have no recollection of doing that. So either I'm capable enough when I'm just barely woken up, or someone's coming into my room and shutting them off, which shouldn't be happening at that time, really. It's not uncommon for me to shut the alarm off and roll over back to sleep and remember doing it, and generally I kind of assume I'm doing the same on days like today and just forgetting it happened. But it always worries me when it pops up again. I rely pretty heavily on alarms to wake me up from sleep and when it fails without reason, that's troubling.
My general solution to needing to get up early is to set a bunch of alarms at differing intervals. Like one 30 minutes before I ought to get up, another 20 minutes, another 15, another 10, then 5, then 3,2,1 And some after too just in case.
Kirara π
>>428990 Yeah, but it's hard to sleep after the physiological arousal that comes with watching a traumatic event again.

The only thing worse than her on the banner is tomato leo
Kirara π
although tomato leo has skills that are decent for inheritance

Tomato Leo is pretty scary. I was tempted to roll red because I'd like Mia with better IVs, but tomato Leo is scary. And I don't particularly want Ike since we're getting him free.

I wouldn't mind more legend ikes since he has warding breath.

>>429044 where's "to mow down the pack of coyotes that keep tryna kill my sheep, the durn varmints!"
I'm aware, I'm in particular narrowing down to the singular here. It just feels so much of ingratitude. What does it feel like for the teachers that might feel pressured into taking the program because their school doesnt have enough teachers to fill the ten-person limit from willful volunteers.
Kirara π
a $500 stipend for 132 hours of training is kind of ridiculous i guess but if you account for the fees associated with it like getting a license, background checks, drug stuff, etc i guess it's not the worst deal but it's still horrible
FormerRei@mobile
The fact that they get 132 hours of training is a little bit encouraging. It's still stupid, but its a bit less terrible than I thought it would be.
Kirara π
depends on what the training entails the training could be like 90% lectures
FormerRei@mobile
Yeah my bad I'm assuming they would be getting training that isn't retarded
Kirara π
Yeah, I mean, Im sure part of the training will be good at least But 132 hours is REALLY a lot more than what's necessary to become proficienct with a handgun are they trying to make the teachers marksmen or something?
FormerRei@mobile
Also, in defense of the school police officer who cowered outside, he was utterly unqualified to deal with that kind of situation and would likely have shot the wrong person by mistake had he gone in
Anno
>>429071 Also when are the teachers supposed to find the time to put in all those hours. Teachers work far longer than the hours a school is in operations for.
Kirara π
>>429073 I would assume during Summer vacation. They'd probably sacrifice their vacation to do a gorillion hours of firearms training. >>429072 yeah but there were three or four cops cowering outside
FormerRei@mobile
>>429071 >are they trying to make the teachers marksmen Dude what? It's gonna be training to deal with school shooting scenarios >>429074 None of them were qualified One or more shooters in a building with hundreds of innocent bystanders is an incredibly difficult situation to deal with, people need SWAT training or some other specialized training to be able to handle it effectively It's not as simple as just walking in with a gun and shooting a bad guy or two
Kirara π
>>429075 Even cops don't get 132 hours of that They probably get 20, absolute max, including simulations
Anno
>>429074 As the child of a lifelong teacher I can say with some confidence they'll be scraping pretty deep into the bottom of the barrel for that then. Teachers LOATH to be doing more work over summer vacation.
skFormerRei@mobile
>>429076 Room clearing is also especially difficult
Kirara π
>>429077 yeah, it'll be bad >>429079 sure, but not something that's going to take substantial periods of time most of that time will probably involve sitting around while someone that can't keep up gets personal attention
FormerRei@mobile
Yeah, probably If the they (people who came up with this) weren't completely retarded the teachers would get some sort of SWAT training. But I doubt it will be that good.
sk
>Bryan's daughter's school class doesn't like cops Truly, he is a blessed man

FormerRei@mobile

sk
she's talking about how her class went through an "in the event of a school shooting" thing American school is terrifying
Anno
At 132 hours, that's 15.5 days of eight-hour sessions. And I'm not even assuming the actual sessions would run that long. But three work weeks is a lot of time to dedicate to this, especially if it's normally time the teachers would be getting as vacation.
What a fucking moron. Although on a not quite unrelated note, there are quite a few right wing gun nut Jews ...

McDonald's was super-heating their coffee at that time when she got seriously burned. Like keeping the carafes that stored the coffee at way above the temperature most people would be drinking the coffee at.

basically the fish is parasited by cloud spiders, which are parasited by the larva of the skyfish, which upon being consumed by the cloud spiders from within fall down which then on ground spawn from the corpses to feed and breed and they attach their larvae to the larvae of the rainfish, which they contract on parasiting the rainfish in the first place so when the spiders get consumed by the rainfish larvae, that look like botflies, that then inject their innards into human hosts to gestate into adult forms are in turn infected already buy the cloud spiders

also the cloud spiders only eat human infants, pets and raccoons

in sentence en kerro kenellekkÀÀn, ketÀ kesÀllÀ keinottelit keskustassa "I won't tell anyone, who you were wooing during summer in the city centre"
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
though not a proper translation, since "keinotella" always means doing something in a fishy way like bribing your way into power "keinotella korkea asema" (illicetly achieving a high position/rank, literally)
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
keino already being an amusing word it kinda means well means to do something or a trick to do something etc but it can also mean artifical like keinokuitu - synthetic fiber or keinotekoinen - artificial /manmade

it seems like some weirdo advertiser stumbled here.
Anno
Such is life when you're on the list(s).
Maria
How desperate
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I wonder how well this site is known anyhow
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Oh yeah wc3 is getting a remaster version soonish
Anno
Unsurprising, after the warm reception for Starcraft Remaster. Maybe I'll finally play it.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Also they released a patch or are releasing that will make the battle.net games support 24 players I think I might go intio mapmaking back soon well i will save it for when the actual remaster comes out would be fun if yours truly becomes the household name for lotr strategy maps and such
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
But if they do make the new wc3 support 24 players, they should also umph the map sizes and such the max sizer was it 256x256 wc3 units is quite small actually
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Hmm but lotr most likely will have bigger groups making their maps out of it maybe I should go for silmarillion
Anno
>>429439 So that's why they're holding that invitational. I thought that shit was weird.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>429444 yup either they announce release date then or actually release it then
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I just hope activision doesn't go activision on it
Anno
>>429442 I bet RPG maps would get really cool with unlimited map size.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
well unlimited would be unreasonable but doubling it would be amusing Would be fun for strat maps too and as the engine gets betterm, it would remove the arbitrary maximum unit limits the engine simply can't handle beyond 200 units per one player, which can be seen as the units no longer moving properly and at 12x200 it most likely crashes so any grand /army control type map, had to impose the max 200 per player, or it would crash also the editor itself had countless memory leak issues
Anno
>>429448 What if they update the limitations on the engine so much that someone makes Dota 2 in WC3?
amusingly, some of the engine limitations carried over to dota2, since they became part of the core gameplay but in the first place existed because of the limitations.
Anno
I would play a Dota2 without cosmetic bullshit edition.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I just hope activision learnt from its cod4 remastered fiasco though it hasn't gone that activision on blizzard games, yet
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Well it would be fun if wc3 bnet became populated with people again with the remaster I loved playing custom maps Especially some giant strat maps, with huge fortresses that you had to siege for hours War of the THird Age minas tirith the best
Anno
>>429451 Though this has changed in recent times with the departure from updating the DotA 1 mod to be in sync with DotA 2. While a number of those engine limitations have likely become gameplay core mechanics, a lot has changed in recent times now that they're unchained from Warcraft III's engine.
>>429452 I'm mildly confused by the lack of a "force vanilla visuals" option for client-side. I have no real issue with the cosmetics; I can operate and distinguish heroes even with some of the more absurd cosmetic options. But I've also heard personally many complaints about the difficulty some people have because of the cosmetics. And in the end, they wouldn't be losing potential cosmetic sales because if it's someone throwing a hissy fit over other people having cosmetics, odds are they're not buying many cosmetics themselves.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
is actually fun how much of the basic mechanics are hidden in the editor data like elevation difference (lower to higher) adds a 15% I think it was miss chance to all ranged attacks(save for "homing" type) like how would anyone know that except by peeking at the data
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
also about every spell can be modified to do the opposite like you can make death coil heal living and damage undead (enemies and friendlies) respectively
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
or make a stomp spell that stuns allies, but heals them well there were some limits still by the engine some negative values simply crashed the game
Yuu
>>429439 This is a blizzard remaster I'll be interested in.
Anno
>>429456 Assuming this is one mechanic that was adapted loyally from the old engine, it's a miss chance on all attacks without true strike, regardless of ranged or melee. >>429461 I mean within the DotA 2 engine all attacks are pseudo-ranged, melee is just for the most part locked at 150 range.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>429460 melee doesn't have, it is only for ranged attacks and the "homing" never misses, unless the target has evasion skill homing can hit you, even after you teleport, the missile will continue pursuing the target to the ends of the world which can look quite amusing at times
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>429460 in wc3 all melee is 100 ranged actually well that is default some have bigger I think 250 being largest with pitlords or such but if you make it bigger than 100, it will show up in the attack thing like melee 150 range you can actually have 0 range melee, but it looks quite silly the models will overlap at that point
Anno
Monkey King was the first hero they added to Dota 2 after diverging from the Warcraft III mod, and his attack range is absurd, while melee. Like he's got a longer attack range than some actually ranged heroes. It makes sense since he's based off the real life myth of Sun Wu Kong, who had a staff that could stretch incredible distances. But it's still pretty frustrating to go up against, hah hah.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
then there are hmm was it 3 different splash types of dmg melee, ranged and ranged (line) line being I think only used by the ballistae units of night elves, though it gets removed when you research the aoe dmg upgrade and then become identical to all artillery splash dmg
Anno
I believe line remained in use for DotA for a long time; though I encountered it called pierce more often. I think relatively recent patches have removed it entirely except from Templar Assassin because it was hardly actually relevant. Melee splash damage (cleave) and ranged splash damage are still in regular use.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
also the game contains I think 1 unused armour/attack type that wasn't used and you can use the wc3 ones in addition to the tft added ones the old normal armour alongside medium and old normal attack alongside regular normal attack etc
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
hmm rotc had normal, siege, piercing as attacks and as armour: normal, light, heavy, hero, fortified tft changed it to normal, siege, piercing, magic, hero and medium, light, heavy, hero, fortified and then there is divine and chaos ofc, but divine is rare as fuck chaos though is on some random creeps so when map making you actually have 7 attack types and 7 armour types at your disposal allowing for a more indepth unit counter mechanic than what the game normally has
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Though it still has its limits for example, no matter how you change it "magic" is always magic it never hits immune to magic units and is always reduced by magic resistance passives or buffs but you can for example make magic into chaos and chaos into magic dmg, and then have "magic" be effective to all, but have the weakness of magic immunes being resistant to it
oh and then there is the hidden "spell damage" modifier, which makes heroes take less dmg from spells and well divine units take that flat 1% from them
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
btw so few games actually m ake use of the fully customable counter system, whicvh is a shame *maps it would make heroes much more interesting, if melee ones had armour that would make them quite immune to melee dmg, but for example be weak to magic or caster heroes having no melee protection, but being half immune to spells
Anno
That last bit has been sort of worked into DotA 2. Heroes that have Intelligence as their primary stat now get a bit of additional magic resistance based on their Int. In the end, even if you stack your inventory with Int stat items you'll rarely hit above 15% additional resistance with it. But in a serious event that can go a surprisingly long way.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>429472 mm, without some wonky trigger stuffing, you can't do it in wc3 mechanics, without actually having different armour types
the wonky being, adding a spellbook based ability to the hero that has say passive "25% magic resistance" and then, hiding the actual spellbook ability from the hero. the passive skill is still there, but it isn't visible this way you can grant hidden bonus effects to heroes or units, but it does require some experimenting with. there was a wc3 custom editor, which basically bypassed these kinds of stuff and allowed you to do it directly it was really fun to use you could for example add a veterancy system to units, that they gain damage, hp and armour boosts from killing enemies
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
That was one of my favourite things I ever made, though made so that good players were rewarded with units, that were better than their enemies, if they looked after their army but it would still be quite impossible to mass a max veterancy army, because no one can micro that well
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
but say a 1-2 group elite core, was quite feasable
Anno
>>429473 Your spellbook notion is sort of incorporated into Dota 2 too, hah hah. There's talents heroes can get at every fifth level that give "hidden bonuses" to the character. A lot of them are generics, like increases to base stats or stuff like magic resistance or whatnot. But a lot of them are also crazy unique and can really change the role a hero is playing if you build around it. And if you have a team willing to play along with it, hoh hoh hoh.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
the spellbook mechanic was basically invented to go around the maximum slot limit on heroes, when you already had lot of skills to learn but wanted to have say some attribute bonuses or special quest granted skills or passives say an aura from doing X thing so you made it a spellbook that you'd then unlock at some point few strategy maps used the mechanic, cause heroes weren't the main point in them in the end but rpgs and such had those
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
also say you want someone to have bash and evasion on same skill, you use spellbook but this tiem you don't have to hide it
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
shame there wasn't a feasable way to do a "15% chance to cleave" I mean you could, but it would be 100% trigger spell, which would make it plausibly a memory leaker in the long term
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
oh yeah the miss chance if I recall right was in starcraft too though it didn't apply to all units
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Also you could chain some commands for example, you could set up transports, ie. ships or zeppelins, to patrol a route,. and then order units to shift-board them which wouldn't interrupt the patrol, but rathet when it reaches a point closest to them, it would go and load them and then you could Shift-unlaod them at a location and the transport would continue its patrol route also, for example with ships, you could press the unload button at anypoint in the land, if you used the shift-unload, and the unloaded units would then proceed to move to that point as a group though I don't recall was it move or attack move. there were some other amusing things like this but can't recall
most amusing was windwalk+starfall you could turn invisible, while casting the spell an accidental combination in several early custom maps
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
hmm it would be fun if wc3remake introduced a "hold position and ignore" command would be useful if you could order your units to not attack even if something comes within range would be useful for ambushing etc
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Most amusing thing I recall making in terms of units (*things), were the graymen from wheel of time, that were treated as neutral creeps, like sheep and pigs, untill they attacked you and units that could transform into trees, but I never figured out a way to make them really work aside from giving them hide ability
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Oh yeah since you mentioned "true strike" that is actually just "bash" or "critical" in disquise, atleast in wc3 dota neither can never miss
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Also another addition that would be nice, if you could make multiranged attack deal same dmg as the hero normally deals without using triggers and same for passive attacks, like phoenix fire
Anno
>>429484 Knowing nothing of how the Warcraft III engine works I would imagine true strike is just a crit that does 100% damage or something. >>429487 Then it's a bash that stuns for zero seconds? Sounds confusing.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>429486 it is bash since critical would pop up the floating message
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
or wait does it have to? I can't remember
Anno
Though in fairness I'm trying to remember the heroes with true strike or whatnot in earlier versions. It might be that before the departure from matching Warcraft III, the only true strike was coupled alongside ministuns, bashes that run for like, a fifth of a second.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
cleaving attack can miss anyhow
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>429486 amusingly, if you set 0 seconds on bash, it will stun for eternity same for any buff or debuff 0= infinity
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>429489 yeah that is the most common way to do it 0,1 or 0,2 second bash it doesn't really interrupt anything, but a well timed minibash does work the same as full bash and interrupt spells or actions crit would be better way of doing true strike anyhow, but the floating message is the issue
Anno
In any case true strike is a unique thing now, though I believe ministuns are technically true strike since it's a skill triggering.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Oh and you could say make a howl of terror, normally "-attack dmg" do aoe dot damage or you could use silence, the aoe spell, to make units in the area attack faster or slower though having a debuff that grants you a positive, or a buff that grrants you a negative is bit iffy, since they still retain their "red for debuff" "green for buff" when hovering over the unit statuses
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
hmm and I think you could not make big bad voodoo ever target self I think that was a hard forced engine limit
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
or another big bad voodoo channeler, which was a bug in early game
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWETN !PcAPtAiNJo
another limimiting factor imposed by the game was animations forexample, no other hero but blademaster had bladestorm animation so if you wanted your custom units to perform some kind of animation upon casting or commiting special strikes, y ou actually had to change the animation prompts the spells used for example, a basic footman has no "spell" animations, so it would just stand still when casting spells not to mention some unique animations for some unique spells another limit the animations imposed was speed even if you had 2 heroes with the same spell, one could be interrupted more quickly, due to the model having slower spell animation. and same went with attack animations if you paired two heroes with equal stats to fight each other, the one with better attack animation would most likely come up top. worst hero in terms of spell animations is of course blood mage normally not a problem, since his native spell is ment to take a while to cast, but when you mix and spice them odel with other spells, it can become an issue
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
would be neat if they also added some starcraft mechanics into the game as options the carrier unit would be fun to use in wc3 or the worm thing that required you to buy ammo
Yuu
Back when Warcraft 3 was no I'm thinking of starcraft. There was an attempt to create Warcraft 3 in Starcraft 2, but it never was completed as far as I know.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Yup something like that however, the mechanics just are different, so it would never be feasable
Anno
>>429499 chop down trees to get those logs your ballistae are firing
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>429502 exactly you could really add in some overpowered artillery, but it would be limited by your economy
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
also another thing would be nice a some form of cover mechanic like if you shoot normal missile, not artillery ranged attacks through obstacles it would have a miss chance
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
once again you could just code that into it, but... it takes time and effort
Anno

I have a tricked out Alm though too, don't worry.
Anno
And adult Tiki sure is easier to get. Too bad summer Tiki came out when she did...if she came out today she'd proably be an armored dragon just like Edgemaster White (M). Though...>another strong green armored unit

>>429529 Well, Rival Domain was named. The try to take over a base, can "deploy up to 20 heroes" and "recuit from your friends". Gotta capture the base within 10 turns though. It's in the little News section...but they give no info on "The Blessed Gardens", which you need characters with blessing only for it.
Leo, Soren and Eirika getting weapon refine too-->still no Roy
I'm listening tto an interview with a musician I like, about how he quit his job as an elementary school teacher to go into music full time. All his co-workers thought he was nuts and that he wouldn't do well, so when he got his first million dollar check his visoted the school and showed it off. Then they thought he was crazy for doing that.
He's one of the top ten or so most prolific living song writers too. Also >He said of his teaching years: "I never went to the teachersβ lounge. But the teachers liked me. In elementary school, there arenβt a lot of male teachers, so they liked the fact I was around. Theyβd say, 'Why donβt you come down and hang out with us in the teachersβ lounge?' But I would go off and take a nap to try to get rid of my hangover. I had 14 years of that."

>>429593 it is an ethnostate with closed borders and no immigration allowed sure it is wrong kind of ethnostate when you consider them usually, but on paper they say "we just want every ethnicity to have their own ethnostate"
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
So far the alt-right havn't said ever how they'd accomplish their ethnostate genocide? force expulsion? or just paying the wrong kind of people to leave but the point is, on paper their creed is "we want ethnicities to live in their own states, with no mixture of cultures and such" >>429601 well point is no matter how you frame it, when your goal is an ethnostate forced by big government, it will end in atrocities, even if it is just forcibly removing all wrong coloured/thinking people from the country. you will still strip them of their livelihood et al
And they have said what they intend to do, just not to media outlets explicitly

>>429610 at this point most of them are atleast the "core people" Anyhow, even if you take the most moderate path, at the point where they are in power and will do their "force all non X ethnicity and wrong thinkers out of the nation" it will become an act of tyranny anyhow, as some will refuse no doubt. even if you fully compensate them for say loss of all property, it would still be forcefully expoditing someone out of the country and seizeng their possessions.
