There wasn't any OOC quote posts in the past hour. It was locked. Couldn't say why, but I rather imagine reading the OP and then the last couple pages of it gives a good inkling.

Though any discussion of such should probably be taken out of the thread with a specific rule against talking about other B12 threads.

Looks like I'll never found out, unfortunately. Bug ate the game shortly after sending 'im on his way. Ah well.

Spoiler: oh dear (click to show/hide)

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure how canonical things are with this thing, so far. Still, I'd expect nearly a million soldiers -- even relatively poor trained ones -- to put up something of a fight. At least until a moral system or somethin' is implemented.

Suggestions? Of note, I am running a tech heretic chapter >_>

987,000 PDF soldiers
Hint. Hint. It's called "PDF competency: Outnumber them a thousand to one." They don't even need freaking guns, they can just jump on the marines and vibrate a lot, melt the buggers like bees on a wasp.

Incidentally, if you're not after artifacts, and don't need non-dreadnaught vehicles, raiding is a lot faster and less fiddly.
Other than the Emprah weeping because his Space Marines are just raiding instead of invading.
Raiding is just what the game calls it. I think the emprah is fine with iron rain from the sky followed by intense and widespread xeno purging, at a rate twice that normally allowed by ground invasion :P

Hokay, let's see. Not sure if these have been reported. Running off the normal TE4.org thing, so running VotE as a module off the normal 1.2.3 T4 stuff. Seems to be the same version that's up on moddb, but I'm not entirely sure.

First bug: Attempting to assign points to stats during character creation drops this on me:

First general issue: Pretty much everything involving the UI is very, very slow. Bringing up the inventory, character sheet, magic/skill menu, etc., so forth, so on, all involve very notable delays.

Second bug: 5 on the numpad does not wait a turn, with or without numlock on. Can't seem to find any other key that does it, either.

Third bug: Attempting to open the keybindings to fix the second bug indefinitely hangs the game :-\

... should I be using a different version or somethin'? Little discouraged at this point, heh.

I can't seem to land any troops (I might not have tranport ships or something.) How is it usually done?
  • Get your troops into a ship (by default, most/all of them seem to be in your starting ships).
  • Get your ship to the target system (select fleet, right click target system, wait until arrival)
  • Go into the chapter overview
  • Select the group you want to send down
  • Select the members of the group you want to send down (hint: If you click on something and then click on the selection bit, it'll grab everything in a single ship)
  • Unload the buggers by clicking the little thing that says unload, and then picking the planet
  • Wait a turn or two until something happens
Incidentally, if you're not after artifacts, and don't need non-dreadnaught vehicles, raiding is a lot faster and less fiddly.

Also, pretty much all of that is in the manual. Reading it helps :P

So I'm looking through my college email account, and I see a schedule listing intermural events.  Wondering if maybe there might be something interesting, I look through it.

Two of those do not seem to be like the others.

What the zog is spike ball, anyway?

No such thing, so of course not. There's only more or less dakka, and not enuff. Enuff dakka is a fantasy and an impossibility -- an idealized, unreachable, goal. There is no forth state of dakka. Even better dakka is just shorthand for less more!dakka.

Played it and liked it some. Learned never to go after a plannet that has an extreme infestation of orks. I wish the pdf and the imperial guard units would help you fight in battle or other allies help you if there on plannet
Odd. I've been dropping my entire chapter on an extremely infested ork planet (once via raid, once via invasion -- I've been reloading a turn 1 save as I figure out how things work, and there's an extremely infested planet just two turns away) and they've been straight curbstomping every ork encounter they're involved in. Like, the latest one involving ground invasion, the first offensive was ~7000 orks vs ~900 various marines, completely without vehicle support. Flawless victory, zero casualties on the marine side.

... though, to be fair, it's a bolter drilling/ork enemy/crafter chapter, so... I gots the better dakka.

Is there any sort of credible, unbiased gaming media source with integrity?
If they're making a living from it, probably not. Least that seems to be the general pattern. Some of the folks that are very specific or purely hobbyist seem to do mostly alright, but they're not exactly gaming media journalists or anything of the sort. Just folks talking about something that interests them.

Really, though, journalism in general is just kinda' buggered. Has been basically forever. You'll occasionally get a handful that are trustable on specific topics (and dubious on others), but that's about the best it turns out. Is what happens when your best means of making profit is either controversy or kickbacks, apparently.

this topic is unsustainable and needs to be locked because of people like this.
you become people like that. I think you actually know that, but... still.

The thread probably does need to be locked, though. Between the personal attacks being slung around at the moment and the strongly biased OP who is doing absolutely nothing to curtail inappropriate discussion, even if the subject was worth talking about to any meaningful degree, it's pretty obvious that even if there was something more noteworthy than tabloid level nonsense going on, this isn't really the thread to be talking about it in.

Think the point is more that there's already a specific thread for raging about the subject, and it's generally best not to rage in the rage thread about stuff that's already being raged about in other threads. And ninja'd, sure.
