  5. nielsdejong well, the main weakness of the wood elves are their smallish unit sizes, poor armour and lack of shielded units which makes them vulnerable to massed archers and artillery, especially if well protected by shielded and armoured anti-large infantry with some ranged cavalry in support. My ideal force to deal with wood elves would be an empire force made up of 2 great cannons, 3 mortars, 3 hellblasters 2 steam tanks, 2 hillebardiers, 2 shielded spearmen, 1 outrider grenades, 1 regular outrider, a lord on barded warhorse or Gelt on any mount and three handgunners.

  6. Shadow88 actually, it's not an English word in the first place anyway, it's an angelicised french word. Just like the word enchant and chant which both have their roots in the french word chanson which means song. The closest English words that is replaced by angelicizing enchantress would be "Spell singer" which is kind of hillarious on it's own as the Fey Enchantress in the tabletop lore IS a wood elf renegade spellsinger XD

  7. The505Guys i only meant that as a statement of orgin, as pretty much every language is almost as mixed, that's how languages evolve, just like cultures, in the interaction between people

  10. Orlunu synonym? I wouldn't call a loaned word a synonym and especially not refer to the language that borrowed the word as "original" XD English is pretty much the language equivalent of a cat litter fathered by every male cat in a ten mile radius... It's got it's orgins in celtic languages, roman latin, saxon, old norse and french and also adopted quite a few words from languages of colonised regions too. Which is one of the reasons why it's become so universal in both the American and Brittish variant.

  11. Orlunu can't argue with that XD Afaik, the most direct English translation of the french word enchantress would be "female spell singer" XD

  12. Orlunu really? because etymologically I interpret the word as a combination of the directional prefix 'en-' and a a gendered form of 'chanson' to originally mean something akin to a woman who sings (in the context of cultural rituals) -> a woman who cast spells (enchants) Is that amateur deduction really so far fetched?

  13. Orlunu well, you taught me something new, thank you. Then again, could 'incantator' be a formal clerical position in a Roman temple? Like a choir master or master of ceremonies which's definition has changed as the religion it served was replaced by christianity? After all, christianity often redefined definitions and concepts of displaced rival religions to misrepresent them and brand them as evil.

  14. thomas brandon have you thought about porting the mod to Shogun 2 Fall of the Samurai which already has a gatling gun unit to replace with ratling gunners?

  15. ThePivoteer101 yes, but other than the chinese first emperor's army and the contemporary roman one there were no armies as big as half a million men. Though armies of 100-200'000 was certainly heard of but hard to maintain as most civilisations at the time simply just didn't have the logistics, economy or civilian population to support an army of that size for any extended time period. That said, compared to most medieval armies of 400-5000 people... every ancient army was huge.

  16. If a stable small scale portal could be arranged, I'd be setting myself up to import and on site assembly of dissasembled towed-type surplus bofors 40mm aa-guns and ammo for gold, silver or gems to select factions of Westeros XD

  18. Grim Looters you are mostly correct, but the shields are designed to be held that way for religious, not practical reasons (game lore)

  19. I've once managed to make a double charge on a unit of crypt ghouls, in the front with reiksguard Knights that I had gifted control over to a friend at the exact same time as I hit the same unit Square in the side with a steam tank that just plowed through the entire unit just in front of the Knights as they came to a stop. There was no survivors! XD

  20. my name is my name at the same time, it's harder as practically all supplies has to be brought from industrial centres at home as neither munitions, spare parts, or fuel can be sourced locally in any significant way due to quality and quantity differences and local food sources can't be trusted aside from livestock. And the latter demands that the logistics unit of the formation has the capacity to proccess live animals into food ready for the troops.

  21. Yes, yes there is.

  22. A note of caution on scale, are you using the old Forge World Imperial Armour book sources or measuring off the old resin 40k models or measuring of the new 'epic scale' Legio Imperialis models? Because GW/FW is not consistent on scale between lore vs models, and even less between infantry and vehicle models within or between factions. ​ @InvictaHistory  /A 40yo WHFB&WH40k enthusiast who started in 1998 and hope some day to remobilize my 32'000pts of Armored guard renegades, Chaos titan and Word Bearers. 😁

  26. Horacious Barelian then again, the auto resolve is even more fucked up in some instances as it doesn't account for tactical use of walls. Example: assaulting a city defended by a medium garrison+cavalry heavy field army with an extremely archer heavy infantry army. Auto-res: 1/9 chance to win. Play the siege: <100 combined losses decisive victory every time as cav and non-flying monsters can't climb walls which means that once enemy garrison infantry is wiped, my archers has free reign of the small siege maps.

  32. You forgot the Adeptus mechanicus tech priest engineseers and their servitor contingent responsible for the periodical and more advanced maintenance and repair of the regiments vehicles, comms and other advanced equipment that the Imperiums uninitiated citizenry, be they military or civilian, simply is not allowed to dissasemble or interact with apart from the most superficial level of operation.

  33. It makes sense, as the speech is the last real chance the commander has to bolster or shore up their forces morale before a battle. As, when battle is joined, noise, dust, smells and smoke will make mockery of everything but leading by example. That said, the victor has the perk of embelishing or rewriting the facts with few others able to contradict or question their presentation. In modern times, on a far more vast, assymetric and dispersed battlefield the speech prior to battle is replaced by the pre-mission briefing, usually followed by one kind of unit specific greeting or ritualistic wishes of good fortune on squad, platoon or at most company level once the commander is satisfied that all subordinates has understood the orders and the purpose of the specific task.

  34. I agree that the correct orientation of the roll is normally over, however, there is an excemption for households with "pawcasso" prone cats who will transform any toilet roll in the over configuration into so much confetti in mere seconds!

  43. One is a regular gunship, the other is a heavy vehicle lifter. The gunship in the SM2 tutorial intro is not a Thunderhawk or even an Astartes gunship, it's an Ordo Xenos Inquisitorial gunship of the Deathwatch which is essemtially a penal company for Space marines of any Chapter.

  44. At least the Romans didn't have to fear 'friendly' torpedoes launched from idiot destroyers that are so far behind their own team mates their torpedoes were out of range in the first place.

  45. If you want a really sharp corner fold, use a hard, non-sticky object like a ruler, a pencil or similiar and drag-press the folded corner to force it sharp.

  46. And climate change in one way or another causing mass migrations is one of the things causing resource chain disruptions. Another is hierarchical systems causing artificial scarcity for the general public by concentrating ever more of the total availiable resources into fewer hands.
