In an hour I'll close the poll and announce the winner.

All of last thread was disgusting. Shitalics and his defenders are getting uppity about a CYOA that won't release this year.

>>94411834
Based cat/dog poster talking about simple facts. Italics is a dogshit "author" and can't make a CYOA to save his life. Even Dragonfall has beaten out his 10 year old "magnum opus case" in terms of replayability and being liked.

Shitalics just needs to leave, even Aro can make actual content versus him.

"Italics not producing content" is a staple of the thread, though. Do you still react emotionally when Tok is obnoxious? Or when the "magic" guy divert the thread to semantic waters?

>>94411822
I agree. I am tired of italics posting WIP for something that is not coming out this year. Remember when he said 2 cyoas were coming out this year? Not happening. Remember luminary? Further delayed even more. Magi case remake? he keeps talking about it even when he pushed it back like 4 oc back. Imagine that. Just shut the fuck up, italics.

I chalk this up to Italics' work being unreadable. Not unreadable as in bad, unreadable as in literally unreadable, every other sentence develops into a giant run-on paragraph with no commas.

>Group x2 (-1)
>Death Note -1
>Glasses -0.5
Glasses are basically like Shinigami Eyes.
With the Death Note, this is already enough to win against anyone realistically, with no chance that I'll get caught and with no personal risk to me or need to expend real effort.
Moreover, the Death Note, assuming it works like the real one, allows me to manipulate victims when they die, so I can cause all sorts of things to happen by making important people say and do things before they die.

>ESP -3
>Phantom Blood -3
Through Phantom Blood I virtually become immortal, and it's useful to have esper powers to defend myself if the unforeseen happens and not be a soft target like if I only had the Death Note. I would train my powers but I wouldn't plan on actually using them.
>Mob Characters +3
Mob Characters seems like such a minuscule negative, it's basically 3 free points for ESP users.
>Tequila Time -0.5
>Za Warudo -2
>Radical -1
These are just extra ways of guaranteeing my survival and they are cheap. Plus the bullet time and time stop abilities essentially give me an insurmountable advantage in any fight even against other espers.
One hour a day is an enormous amount of time for fighting, I'd win virtually any fight, without even really doing anything.
Bullet time would allow me to react quickly, so I can stop time, then my enemy is completely helpless and will die from my esper powers, and I can leave the scene.
Being immune to radiation poisoning is just useful generally.

>Portal Gun -0.5
>My Money -0.5
$10m is enough to set me up for life so I don't need to think about money.
The portal gun is just the most worthwhile 0.5 points item remaining.

Onky because CYOAs these days don't appeal to men anymore. It's all womanized or having meta plots that curtail you from having your adventure.

The ability to marry a real woman and not a teen girl is just an extra dose of freedom and masculinity not found in CYOAs these days.

>>94413213
An extra dose of freedom doesn't make a CYOA "10/10", especially if the rest of the content is subpar.

>>94413213
That's not very wholesome. I want my harem of teen girls. Authors should cater to only me.

Garbage cyoa

>>94415149
Ultimate God is bad because the majority of the CYOA is taken up by companions that are just copied and pasted from various media that tumblr feminists enjoy. A lot of the lore and mechanics don't make much sense either (Angels not having proper power scaling as their rank increases, black holes being part of the void domain instead of space, extrivial (seemingly the most widely applicable and therefore important ability in the cyoa) having basically no useful information given about its capabilities).

The author seems to go out of her(?) way to make all the companions as safe and sanitized as possible for the reddit audience. Every single companion is some nonthreatening politically correct good guy. Sorry, but the supreme god of demons, insanity, and rage should not be a wholesome social activist. The most egregious example of this I can remember is the creation god sibling who was a former Christian priest, but the author just had to go out of their way to specify that he was totally okay with gays and trannies, just to avoid the risk of offending reddit. I think that companion got removed in a later update though, so even that must not have been good enough.

It just feels soulless. Like a bunch of discordant settings that the author happened to like all slapped together without any proper depth.

>>94415240
I agree. This is what the orbiters can not see. Aromage stuff is soulless because she is unable to distance herself from the hugbox. As long as she caters to them. Her content will NEVER be good. Is like the forced DEI, it is so obvious and takes away from what could be.

>>94415240

The truth is that how a cyoa looks doesn't matter at all. As long as it looks good enough that people don't immediately close it in disgust, mechanics, writing, setting and creativity are all more important by an order of magnitude. Looks make up less than ten percent of a CYOAs appeal, full stop.

>>94416194
Objectively coreect desu. Some of my favorite cyoas are literally just paint ones. Meanwhile many shitty cyoas tend to be overdesigned and combine some form of illegible, awful looking text with bad looking but visually higher effort formatting that is instantly off-putting.

Correct, which is why the overdesigned ones are often the worst looking ones while many paint cyoas look appealing due to the simplicity.

Personal skills
>Golden Touch
>Master of Whispers
>Offensive Strategist
Having money, intelligence, and strategy is necessary and non-negotiable for a mercenary captain.
Can't do without them.
>Mesmer
>Attack Mage
I want to personally spec as a combat mage since it's a very powerful option and clearly superior to melee combat, and it's a lot less risky. This way I can fight with my troops from the rear.

Infamous Regiments
>The Guild Of Red Death -40
>+5 (Golden Touch)
I'm only going to get the master assassin guild.
Most of the Regiments either give very few specialist soldiers, or many that are relatively less valuable. When it comes to master assassins, 12 is plenty, they're actually useful in those numbers.
They can easily protect me from threats and can be used to resolve a lot of issues without open combat. And when it comes to assassins, skill is more important compared to other troops.
Warbeasts
>Warwolves (10) -5
I don't want to focus on beasts too much, the powerful ones are expensive and impractical to move around. I also want all my soldiers to be at least somewhat expendable, I don't want a monster that I can't afford to lose or lose control of.
Warwolves are cheap, small and they come in a pack of 10. They're also both intelligent and useful and probably could be easily killed if they rebelled.

Lieutenants
>Theodric The Tactician -5
He's a wise old strategist, so he could be my right hand advisor, and would also make for a good literal lieutenant to lead my army or part of it while I'm away.
>Green Knight -20
He would probably be my bodyguard along with a few of the master assassins. Immortal, doesn't want money, and only fights for the fun of it, he's fairly ideal.
>Katherine -5
I need someone who is good with negotiating and has connections. Would work well in conjunction with the master of whispers skill and the assassins. She's a good complement to Theodric.
>Sofia the Weird -30
I'm doing a magic focused build, so having a master mage seems necessary. With skills like teleportation and farsight, she's basically a trump card and she could teleport assassins across walls as well as warn us of dangers. The fact that nearly no one else has these skills makes them even better advantages and likely not expected.

So far I've spent exactly half of my points between lieutenants and regiments.
The remaining 100 points will go to the main army.

Units

Specialists (-50)
>Healing Mages x2 (10) -10
>Purple School Wizards (2) -5
>Attack Mage x4 (4) -20
>Anti-Mage -5
>Old Mages (5) -5
>Engineers (5) -5
27 Specialists, of which 10 healers, 12 combat mages, and 5 engineers
I decided to get at least some of each type of mage to get a well rounded magic fighting force.
10 healers because this is extremely important, and overall this means I have at least one healer for every 20 people in my army, and basically 1 healer for every 2 valuable specialists including lieutenants and myself. It's a good enough ratio.
4x attack mages, from the description they seem really powerful in terms of damage, and given their cost, 4 seems enough. The rest of the army can give them cover.
One Anti-Mage to give us some level of counter against enemy magic. They're too expensive to get any more of them.
Then I throw in the two illusion wizards and 5 old mages to round things out. The old mages can probably work well with the wolves.
Engineers are definitely necessary for fortifications, 5x is enough though.

Infantry and Cavalry (-50)
>Scouts (20) -5
>Pikemen (50) -10
>Halberdiers (40) -10
>Musketeers (25) -10
>Two-Handed Swordsmen (10) -5
>Heavy Cavalry x2 (10) -10

155 Infantry + Cavalry:
125 Core army (Pike, Halberd, Musket, Sword)
20 Scouts, 10 Heavy Cavalry

With the remaining points, I tried to build a well rounded core army. Having a decent amount of grunts is just necessary for combat, especially given the mages are glass cannons. That said, this might be a bit too small for an open battle, so I'm not sure. It's about as large as the smallest early modern mercenary groups.

Alternatively, I've considered only getting a few very powerful infantry/cavalry units for example from the regiments, in order to simply defend the casters, and act as "tanks", so I just have a very small but focused group of highly skilled people. For example, the Black Skull Order could replace all my of Infantry and cavalry.

I'm not sure about this, because it's not clear how much stronger the magical/special knights and such are relative to just a lot of normal pikemen/halberdiers/musketeers, and how much you can do with a smaller army. It does feel like a group like mine is too large to practically do things like go through a dungeon, but also too small to fight in open battle against an army.
Thoughts? I think this build is too "balanced" and maybe not focused enough.

Here's my alternative build:

>Remove all from Infantry and Cavalry + 50
>Remove war wolves and -2x attack mage (reduced to 2) +15
>Black Skull Order (-60), 50 Knights (mounted/dismounted)
Again, not sure if these guys are really better than 155 Infantry.
But having 1/3rd of the people and concentrated in more fearless/powerful units could be better especially for dungeons. On the other hand, having less manpower might be worse.
>Scholars (10) -5
These are not super useful in general, but they would likely help me a lot with dungeons and such.
Given this is the more small and focused build, they make more sense here.
>Friends of the Last Moon (-60)
Enormous mage fire power for the price, including 10 attack mages which would be 50 points on their own, plus 5 master mages and 10 countermages, with the 2 elementals possibly helping cover them.
To get these, I'd have to take a drawback:
>Nemesis + 60
This one seems most straightforward. I don't like the idea of having such an unknown quantity against me, especially given that this could kill me suddenly and without warning, and there's no direct way to deal with it immediately. But with my master assassins as bodyguards, and given my master of whispers skill reduces the threat, and given that this is something I can eventually just deal with, I think it's worth the huge amount of points. Much more so than the other options.

Contracts:
>Unconquered fortress
I could probably fairly easily defeat it, with a combination of long range attack magic, teleporting assassins inside, and some other tricks. I could also just send in the Green Knight in a suicide mission through a teleport spell, just to do as much damage as he can while gathering intel.
He'll come back after a few days anyways.

>The Ruins of Unknown Kabbath
>The Sword of Life and Death

Both of these dungeons seem fairly well matched to my build, though it's hard to say.
