why are many creators so afraid of making a setting with napoleonic wars era technology?

Why do all those Algerians in France love him so much then?

the main problem that I see is that people are push the fantasy part to much to the sidelines and just try to make it too historical while not putting the same constrains on other types of fantasy
just as an example, the irl medieval period was very different from what we watched in the Lord of the Rings, DnD is even more different in almost all aspects
what is needed is first to get a setting that is to the period just like DnD/LotR is to the irl medieval period

Wasn't Warhammer Fantasy battles in the period, if not past it and heading toward WW1 tech? The Empire, Dwarfs, Kislev, Skaven and Chaos Dwarfs were all industrialising societies with access to mass firearms.

Yeah I don't think OP understands just how far technology progressed from Nintendo and Ultima in 1990 to Final Fantasy 7 in 3d on the playstation in 1997. Video games were completely revolutionized at least twice, in that span of itme.

sure, but i was still playing my Mega Drive when i got a Nintendo 64. and that's a blatant 2D -> 3D jump. wasn't even some 'retro' gimmick, just fancied playing Sonic 3 every now and then.

3D obviously improved very rapidly but if anything that's even less of a change. look at this, it's Daggerfall but the characters are 3D instead of sprites.

Feels like something like that would be a stronger encounter than what the "bandit" moniker usually implies. That's like throwing an enemy PC at the party.

>>97349486
The bandits have their Cocks out during the fight, fully hard, but never explained. If any character interrogates them they just look confused and if push comes to shove will swallow a false tooth poison pill.

>>97349486
Mounted bandits that actually use their mobility and the shock of their mounts.

I had a Runequest campaign end abruptly when two Orlanthi stock-rustlers on ponies came down the road, and my players both decided to jump out in front of them; they both died instantly, as they were playing naked feral Telmori wolfmen, and had neglected to buff themselves or tranform into wolf shape.

Their hacked and trampled bodies were left by the roadside.

Midwar infantry isnt too great at doing stuff compared to late war infantry since they lack real AT so you'll have to compensate for that with something else like AT guns not that you shouldnt bring lots of support for infantry lists anyway thats why those options are in the infantry formations.

In late war Infantry lists were a fucking joke because german AA halftracks that are armored and hit on 4s were literally cheaper than most infantry hit on 3s but the point changes to fix the spam issue has made infantry more viable even though infantry and most gun teams havent gotten point changes for late war yet and I have had a tough time dealing with some lists that spam infantry but I would avoid soviet 4+ save infantry those are still an absolute joke of a unit.

The diplomacy is the interesting part (to me). Livius writes some very entertaining speeches for the various Greek factions as the Romans and Macedonians vie for their support. Then there's the naval battles, naval siege, concerns for winter quarters and all that. The actual battles are very short, the maneuvering and planning is where it's most interesting. Suits itself to a campaign game more than single battles I'll admit.
Alexander and the successors have some good battles. A great one is the siege of Tyre where they built a dam to the (then) island fortress, still visible today.

i copied cure wounds instead this time and then just to err on the side of caution, i decided to just make healing very accessible and cheap but not completely free. its very inconvenient to use in combat. i could hypothetically tune it so that eats a whole kit and it would still be really efficient 1d6 heal for 5 gp, which is way better than potions but still bad. that way however it doesnt invalidate healer feat

Penises (plural)? How can meatbag ever hope to compete?

5 person Level 5 party.
>>
>>97353633
really depends on the party
a level 5 cleric would shitter shatter (most of) the fight with one spirit guardians spell
>>
>>97353633
in theory this should be a match for four level 10s based on the CR
in practice one fireball will nuke both ghouls and all four zombies, so by turn 2 its just the ghost and the mimics (unless you play into the regeneration i guess but even then sickening radiance is on the cards)
ghosts are crazy dangerous, but they can only do so much attribute damage per turn and you have five people to spread the strain

so if you have fireball or sickening radiance prepped, and you have a frontline with respectable CON this will be safely winnable. if you have a bunch of jank multiclasses or shitters who dont contribute to combat then this will probably get at least one of them killed
basically you'll know how it's going to go by the end of round 1
>>
>>97353633
Someone might die. Depends on how many resources they have going into the fight. Zombies are very swingy, if the party has plenty of radiant damage they’re pushovers but if they get a bunch of saves I’ve seen a single zombie tpk an entire level 1 party.
>>
>>97353633
If you want to make it less deadly have some of the enemies enter a round or two later or the mimic not do anything until it’s “triggered”
>>
>>97354073
Or have the encounter begin with the Mimics already in combat with the Undead. If the party start off very well, everyone remaining goes against them instead; if they perform poorly then they have Mimic ally until all the dead are down.

>>97354035
blight kings are pretty elite, those are practically hero models in terms of detail and complexity. i would break them down into smaller batches of 5 or even 3 at a time
>>
>>97354038
That's what I'm coming to realize now. I'm pretty far along though but it's kind of like just coming back daily to try and get a bit more done. Honestly might just be a good idea to swap to something simpler or something I would enjoy painting. I've got a bunch of neat little dudes I could paint as a one off, maybe that'll help clean my palette for a bit.

Thanks anon!
>>
>>97354043
Nta but swapping them to a hero style painting process helps me any time I'm struggling to push through a unit. When you start picking up speed again you can grab one of the other guys in the unit and work on him too. I find seeing a model finished in the unit really gives me the initiative to push through the rest.

In most magic systems used in games magic is indistinguishable from technology. In OPs example nanomachine tech that produces standard "magical" effects is for all effects and purposes magic with a chrome coat of paint. It's just an aesthetic thing.
