General Discussion / Re: The Dream Thread
« on: September 26, 2019, 01:23:28 am »
It seems my vivid movie-esque dreams are retuning.

This time I was in the neighbourhood, when some black kid stormed the local assembly place of sorts, and proclaimed himself the new God. That of course incurred lots of 'boos' from local, properly-Christian people, so his follower-group-of-thugs quickly asserted his dominance by copious use of shotguns against the civilians. This being Poland, it had plenty of effect.

He then declared that we will be his 'Noah' people, and he mentally caused a terrible storm that flooded the world.

What I assume was 'few years later', we were now living in half-flooded apartment blocks, connected with each other by balconies, repurposed pipes and pontoon bridges. There was no government, only the Kid God and his police state, which murdered dissenters and burned books to keep information from the masses. I was helping some foreign guys living with me scavenge for supplies - first some food, then some bullets (which turned out to be damp and useless).

Then I was talking with the Old Master about all the flood and how to stop the God (the kid, that's it) and his oppressive police-state. He told me to look into old struggles of worker class and bourgeoise (??), but before I could ask him to clarify, there was an unannounced search raid by the police (the Old Master quickly fled, while I was caught).

Unfortunately in the backpack, I was carrying lots of books, so the police lieutenant told me to pick my favorite author (I picked some manga translator, apparently?) and we ventured to the nearest un-official bookstore. There I had to point out all the books of the author (he had vast portfolio, from hentai anime, to light novels, to some medieval story translations hardbooks), and the lieutenant then pulled all the books i pointed out of the shelves and onto a big pile.

I assume there was going to be book-burning, but my alarm clock woke me up.

Interestingly, if tertiary batteries worked as advertised in the OP, then they could provide "+4" to hit - ignoring the -2 from both your own and enemy EM.
Quote from: Rules
Tertiary Battery: The smallest cannon available, able to pin-point fast-moving targets. Deals 1 Damage on successful Hit, but cannot destroy Armour Plating.
*Intact: Attacks every Turn. Not affected by enemy Evasive Maneuvers.

Cedric let off the hobo, who fell onto his back, still babbling.

"Right... right, I'm sorry."

Speaking of next battle, I've finally designed a satisfactory torpedo system. It's powerful, but comes with very limited ammo:

Quote
Torpedo Tubes: A system of two launching tubes as well as a magazine of 4 torpedoes. Each Torpedo deals 3 Damage, but can only hit Under Compartments (UCs).
Cost: 25 Resources
*Intact: Allows launching of up to 2 Torpedoes every 2 Turns.
*Damaged: Allows launching of up to 2 Torpedoes every 3 Turns.
*Destroyed: Torpedoes cannot be launched.
**Special: Can only be placed in 1st Under Compartment (UC1). Torpedoes cannot be launched when the Ship is performing Evasive Maneuvers.

Warplanes? Still no working prototype, sadly, it will either require a new class of ship, or some very tough redesigning of Deck Compartment system, neither of which I feel inclined to add.



MF Bone Apart vs HMS HammerTime:
DC1 Main: 3+1+1+1-2-1 = 3 < 5, miss!
DC2 Secondary: 6+1+1+1-2-1 = 6 => 5, hit! Comproll: 5, DC Main Battery is hit for 1 Damage and is Destroyed!
DC4 Tertiary: 5+1+1+1+1-2-1 = 6 => 5, hit! Comproll: 4, DC Tertiary Battery is hit for 1 Damage!

The shots from MF Bone Apart greatly reduced the firepower of their enemy!

Yeah, and next battle onwards EM's will give -1 penalty instead of -2. After all, the goal of the game is destruction of enemy team, not personal survival, which seems to be mindset of most of players :P

The hobo looked at Marion and then stood up, still huddling a bit from potential blows. His eyes were sparkling.

"Hans will do as Angel asks... for food." He rubbed his nose a bit.

"Hans came here to beg for food, but nobody was at the gate... so Hans pushed the gate and looked inside... oh, there was them soldiers, killing kids and the like." Hans snorted.

"Hans isn't stupid, so Hans didn't risk his skin for some kiddos... so Hans waited until killings were done. Then the soldiers took the blue girlie with them and left, so Hans snuck in to rob the- the food stores. Hans is hungry. Angel gives food now, right? Had a deal with Hans?" But then, Cedric, like vulture, fell upon Hans, grabbing the hobo by arms.

"They captured Luitgard!? Which way they went??"

"HansdoesntknowHansjustwantsfoodHansisinnocent!"

"Where did they take her!?" The hobo, unfortunately, started babbling again.

"I agree to the restoration of the salt trade!" The envoys do not spend any moment longer at your presence - they bow and depart.

The Satoriassi diplomats are let in next.

"Greetings, King Iakes of Kastoria. We're here on behalf of King Afonso of Satorias. He wishes to establish a more cordial ties with Kingdom of Kastoria, and therefore proposes a marital bond between the two royals houses." You think about it and quickly realize that all your relatives are either married, engaged, or dead.

A) Nothing to gain here, they're too early!
B) Maybe a pledge of marriage of my first kid, whenever he or she might appear.

//The mid-turn edits is because I miss some stuff that needs updating and notice it only that far into the turn ;c

MF Tortue d'Acier vs HMS HammerTime:
DC6 Main: 1+1+1+1-2-1 = 1 < 5, miss!
DC2 Secondary: 2+1+1+1-2-1 = 2 < 5, miss!
DC4 Tertiary: 6+1+1+1+1-2-1 = 7 => 5, hit! Comproll: 6, UC1 Ammo Magazine is hit for 1 Damage!
Ammo Magazine Roll: 1, AMMO EXPLOSION! Damage roll: 2+4 = 6 damage!

MF Tortue d'Acier vs HMS Freedom:
DC5 Secondary: 5+1+1+0-2-1 = 4 < 5, miss!

While the barrage mostly missed the intended targets, a crucial shot penetrated ammo storage and ignited the cordite within. Fortunately, the resultant explosion did not tear HMS HammerTime in half, but only left a crater in its hull.

TURN 9:

DC4 Secondary Battery on board MF Archer Fish has been repaired!
DC4 Tertiary Battery on board HMS HammerTime has been repaired!

Nobody said anything.

"Hmph! Reich soldiers, afraid to speak up? Quite some subordinates you have!" Captain Astleich looked at this trio of investigators, deeply dissappointed.

"...We will take our leave, then." The Captain turned to his group. "Let's go."

Few minutes later, the entire team, Captain, Shaelynn, and all, were placed in a rather small dining room. A guard was posted at the door, instructed by Siegfried Bonefaz, to cater to the group's need.

"..." The Captain sat down at the end of the table closest to the window, and decided to read through some of his files in his ledger.

The dignitaries from Xane-Peon are led before you first.

"Greetings, King Iakes of Kastoria! Our lord and monarch, venerable Anreu III, believes that it is time for our two countries to be bound with trade agreements once more. For this, he proposes resumption of the salt trade, albeit with smaller amounts than previously."

A) "I'm not interested in salt. Does your monarch offers anything else for trade?"
B) "Splendid idea, I agree!"
C) "No!"

The shell fortunately flew over Tortue's bow and splashed harmlessly into the waters.
