what's the consensus on hard endgame conditions (like Mork Borg's Calendar of Nechrubel)?

curious if you prefer the impending doom mechanics that mechanically force the campaign to a close, or if you find them too restrictive for long term play. does having a literal countdown to the apocalypse enhance the tension, or does it just turn the game into a sprint that kills the sandbox feel?

post favorite "the end is nigh" mechanics or tell me why they're a gimmick

Game still uses squares though. How do you deal with units getting in low numbers and it being too cumbersome with large trays, how are you able to measure who can fight in a rank when it’s more tedious to measure from rounds in a row than on squares.
Have you even had a game to test how it all works, if not then why not base them on squares in the first place? It just baffles me that’s all, no offense to you and your minis Anon.

It looks like shovels are one-handed but they aren't a weapon, only equipment. My understanding is that you can only use it as a weapon if you're wielding it with two hands, which turns it into a Double-Handed Blunt Weapon.
It's kinda disappointing actually, shovels were used a lot in WW1 even as weapons. If I were you I would just use a shovel and have it act like a Trench Club so you can use it as a one-handed weapon

>How do we fix Steampunk?
At least in TTGRPGs a lot of games add straight up magic to the setting, unless properly integrated into the setting feels like a tacked on gimmick added as an afterthought. I get why it's there, but I'd rather powers be a product of new science that pushes ethical and social norms. Something like Jack Griffith's iocane powder from the "invisible man" or at least make it a psychic power and not straight up magic.

Same can be said for early skeptics like Harry Houdini using their knowledge of stage magic to debunk spiritual seances and the like. The tension between industrial modernity and the old ways is one of the major themes, so you need to consider both sides, there where also things believed to be scientific that seem like magic to us, such as Mesmerism and the concept of "animal magnetism"

I know there are a lot of giga noobs in this thread based off reading everything here, so I'll explain why it looks like Replenish and Enchantress are outsized compared to other archetypes
>enchantress and replenish are expensive to build
>people that own those decks are quite dedicated to them, discussing them often and working together to improve the deck and their play on the deck
>many other decks such as Burn and Madness are "intro" decks or nostalgic decks
>many noobs and format tourists play these decks with little preparation and push the win rates down against hyper focused and meta prepared replenish or enchantress gamers
Replenish and Enchantress are great decks because they have to be suppressed along two axis, not just one. They don't fold to the first interaction, or the second, or the third, and if you aren't applying pressure they will draw and combo out over the top of whatever interaction you're running.
Another big part of the problem is that Oath of Druids is blocking a ton of fair creature decks from being bigger players in the format. I know you're a little bitch faggot format tourist because you're crying about fucking Mox Diamond of all cards but not Oath of Druids. If Oath were to eat a ban the Enchantress and Replenish win rates would go down without a single card in either deck being touched.

>>97201288
>They don't fold to the first interaction, or the second, or the third, and if you aren't applying pressure they will draw and combo out over the top of whatever interaction you're running
Ah yes. Just put pre... Oh is that one of their several cards that negate any of your pressure?
>The Enchantress and Replenish win rates would go down
I doubt it. Replenish tends to run 3-4 swords and 3-4 mana leaks in addition to the four waves. It can delay quite well. Even a delay for one turn can win them the game. Replenish actually loses a lot to psychatog of all decks because tog runs 8-12 counterspells and 4 duress. The "fair aggro" decks are also outpaced already by goblins and stiflenought. Nought just beats through them and goblins can often get turn 4 wins with turn 2 siege gangs. Four swords in the deck on draw is a better chance to stop goblins from snowballing than goblins have to snow ball. All the deck then has to do is fish out the combo and win. It will turn out the same way against other "fair aggro" decks.

Enchantress likewise does well against goblins because it can just pop enchantments that say "you can't attack" into play and then leverage the swords and waves they put into the deck to delay until now they have the combo. Have to draw the naturalizes to stop them from stopping you from doing anything.

The only hard aggro match up here is elves since they can run naturalize and tranquil domain.

Those are already two of the strongest aggro decks in the format. If they can have a hard time against replenish and enchantress how do you think the weaker fair creature decks will do? They'll have a much harder time. If your solution is to put more pressure on their combos that can be gotten out as early as turn four and then suggest that the fair creature decks which often can't put as much pressure as goblins or elves do, you're out of your mind.

>>97206246
You're losing to Swords because you aren't flooding the board with early attackers. 4 Swords in the deck they still are less likely to draw 1 single Swords than not. If they remove early creatures they're asking to get rolled by larger creatures, and if they save the Swords you continue to pressure them
You're losing to 4 mana Parallax enchantments and Replenish because you aren't running mana denial. Rishadan Port and Wasteland have 0 mentions in this thread but are the format defining cards for aggressive decks. These cards are insanely good and they only take land slots. Aggro decks win their matches against Replenish and Enchantress by playing out creatures followed by attacking the mana base to delay them from resolving critical spells.
Elves is not advantage over Goblins in the match up because of Tranquil Domain, which Goblins can and does run (so does literally every green deck). The difference is Tangle Wire, which denies mana and plays while allowing the Elves player more time to set up their board and get damage in. Some builds of Replenish try to play around this with Frantic Search.
Fair creature decks do quite well against Enchantress and Replenish because they put a clock on the other deck in order to prove the win or lock out, and are able to run mana disruption or removal to slow them down enough. This is what Terrageddon does after sideboarding, it takes out Oath and instead tries to flood the board with Treetop Villages, Meddling Mage, and elephant tokens while also disrupting mana.

WS4 terminators with powerswords are cheap and get buttfucked by anything they fight.
WS5 terminators with thunderhammers are more often like 60 points each with a 400 point transport tax.

>>97206659
I can't tell if you're agreeing with me or not, but yes you've proven my point.

>>97206570
Techmarines are such a cheap investment to keep your vehicles functioning, it's only 50 points to bring one. You'd be a fool not to at that point.

>>97206902
yeah that's the flaw in the "just status tanks" school of strategy... for 240 points you can ally in a mechanicum army of a machinator array magos with 3+3 battlesmithing (3 status and 3 hull or 6 status or 6 hull) and 4 tech priests (all four have battlesmith-2). That's enough for the Magos to make your kratos or landraider basically untouchable and the 4 priests to babysit your other lesser dreadnoughts and lesser tanks and transports. Sure if the enemy deepstrikes in 300 points of stuff he can snipe a 30 point techpriest so his status will stick on a Vindicator, but then he's committed all the points of deepstrike (which are stuck off-board turn 1) and all the points for the status inflicters, and it's still a bit of a gamble.

And it doesn't help that units you might think should kill priests, like a seeker squad, have such amazingly useful guns that you don't want a seeker squad shooting a 30 point techpriest hidden behind the landraider. You want them melting terminators with breaching4+ precision kraken rounds.

They didn't do a good job with the meta-game in 3rd. Middle of the road anti-tank is pretty much 100% useless. Either you go super-ultra rapier + melta kratos + other antitank and spend half your army on anti-tank or you might as well bring zero anti-tank and simply invest the points in a sacrificial roadblock unit the cataphract are Supposed to kill jumping out of the landraider, then counter-charge with your cataphract-killing squad afterwards.

>>97206948
Seekers are actually kinda trash at melting terminators. Str 4 means they only wound termies on a 5+ and they need at least 2 wounds for a chance at killing a terminator.
Just take a castraferrum dreadnought with two gravis plasma cannons. Almost half the point cost, same chance of AP 2 wounds when you overcharge (no reason not to) but also wounds on 2+ and 2 damage means each failed save is one dead terminator No I will not shut up about plasma mortis boxnoughts

Seekers are more for sniping sergeants, nuncio vox and characters, or applying pinning.

Actually the biggest wealth transfer during the raj was from the maharajahs to the ordinary people, who were suddenly getting paid a wage for what they do. Lets repeat that another way because you seem fairly stupid, even for a brown, leftists or (yuck) a brown leftist.
Before the raj the labour of peasants was almost entirely forced with no remuneration. Caste obligations, bonding, corvee and sharecropping. The raj forced princes to pay people for their labour, resulting in a massive amount of indian peasants actually having disposable income. Furthermore the raj, the company armies etc. paid not just a wage but a good one and generally didn't care who they paid it to as long as the work was good and on time.
Seething about the british not respecting caste is one of the biggest themes you'll get when reading historical accounts from indians.

It's not just railroads, the british monetized taxation, built canals, expanded irrigation and provided a gigantic market for indian peasants to sell into, bringing massive benefit to their lives. There's a reason peasants fought for the british during the 1857 mutiny, you know. In fact more company units stayed loyal than mutinied.

>Furthermore the raj, the company armies etc. paid not just a wage but a good one and generally didn't care who they paid it to as long as the work was good and on time.
Why the fuck wouldn't they? They're soldiers suited to the environment, and they know the land. They were treated much worse than white soldiers, but it's okay because the richer country paid them more I guess

>It's not just railroads, the british monetized taxation, built canals, expanded irrigation
Yes, to expand cash crop production. You must be beyond retarded if you think they did this out of the goodness of their heart. Literally the reason they came here was to produce cotton, indigo and other cash crops for dirt cheap to use in mills back home. This is basic colonial knowledge and you're failing that.
