Don't worry. I'll retire them for ya. ;)

I can live with that, I just didn't want them to wither away unused.

Ah OK.  Thanks for the quick answers.

I was/am a bit worried I was going to have to retire my Mighty Blow Werewolf and my AG4 Werewolf before I got a chance to use them.

I don't want to crap up the Stunty Leeg thread so I will ask stuff here.

Does "We will be starting up the league again this coming January with new rules and team rosters (whatever those might be)"  this mean that the Persistent League is over after 1 Season?  And if so will the new/next season be run on whatever rules/rosters are included in the new Edition game to be released?  What if the new Edition is delayed, will that delay the new season?

I've seen this picture multiple places but I don't have any idea what it is, or the context.  Is it a GoT thing?

This is because when you are in an alliance or federation you are declaring war for all of the members.  When you are alone, drag the War Demands onto your empire name.  When you have company you can divide up an enemy by dragging some planets to your empire and other planets to another empire.  This is very useful when you need to buy someones vote to start the war by promising them spoils.

Ah,that makes sense. I haven't played any one game long enough to do that hey.

Ok, I am still really struggling with the war mechanic.  

 

When I declare war, I am given an option to add War Demands, but because my war score is 0, I can't add any demands.  Then the war happens for a few months, generally I dominate.  During the war, as I gain war score, I am unable to add additional war demands.  The war ends, all my fleets and armies get sent home, and it is a truly unsatisfying experience.  

You should be able to add Demands when you first Declare War; you need to drag and drop them from one column to the other though, which isn't very intuitive.  

EDIT:  Now that I have loaded the game it is even weirder than I remember.  You have to drag the war goal right on top of your civ title at the top of the right hand column.  It should light up with a blue border once you grab a war goal.

Any army capable of transport has a native transport already attached.

EDIT: There is an embark button but I don't remember where it is and I away on vacation atm.

I have not figured out how to get an army of of its transport without invading though.

The two Paradox have mentioned as being worked on are:

•Fixes to the Ethic Divergence and Convergence issues. Currently, Pops tend to get more and more neutral (they lose Ethics, but rarely gain new ones.)

•Late game crises bugs. There were some nasty bugs in there, blocking certain subplots and various surprising developments.

I don't know if it is a bug, or WAD and poorly implemented, but it seems Sectors don't build/upgrade buildings very well if at all.

I also saw a guy say that his Admiral cloned herself when he hit the split fleet button, and heard at least one other person say that they saw leaders changing gender at least, if not race as well.  Those are unconfirmed though.

I guess calling those big bugs might be overstating it.  The release version of the game is very playable and fun.

I have been playing a quite a bit, but not getting far as I keep restarting.  While there are some relatively big bugs and balance issues it is very good out of the box for a Paradox title, though they have been much better about that since the disaster that was HOI3.  They also seem to have built a very interesting framework that they can flesh out nicely with their free updates and DLCs.  

I have been a pretty big Paradox fan for the last decade, and have been saying I wanted them to develop a new Space/Fantasy IP for a long time now.  I have been curious what they could do with the Grand Strategy genre when they weren't constrained by trying to replicate historical outcomes.

I am enjoying it now and looking forward to seeing what they can do with it as time goes by.

Congrats on the win!  Sounds like a game worthy of the championship.

Some new stuff came out at some sort of Warhammer Fest today

http://recalcitrantdaze.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/warhammer-fest-2016-part-one-blood-bowl.html?m=1

Highlights:

• Hoping to be released before end of this year
• No changes to core rules - though there seems to be a 16-sided die
• Orcs and Humans in box with Skaven, Dwarf, Nurgle and Elf teams released as well (with plastic models)
• The squares in the grid will be bigger meaning a bigger pitch board and new templates to accommodate that.
• Several possible expansions if sales are good

I will be there with Necro.

For me the earlier the better but can and will do anytime

I will be there is there is something happening.

Sbr you can have the emo fairies.

I'm not playing Dark Elves.

I saw someone say that they left the grid off that board to highlight the art; sounded like there was no chance of a grid-less board.

Hey!  Don't steal my team!

Very nice

Actually, we can do online play even. I think I can get a hold of the team files to modify them so you can build whatever roster & we can use direct IP to play. It's easier with no star players as you just create a team in the campaign mode then export them & edit but I think I can make it work. I'll let you know shortly.

Yeah that would be fun. You'll have to treat me like a 10 year old and walk me through every step though.

Here we go, an excuse to flounder around every match and get drunk every night but still have "fun"

You can borrow my lizards. I have unpainted skaven you can borrow as well.

Just my 2 cents; it's probly better to take a team with some built-in skills if you're looking to be competitive.

Yeah as I looked at some Lizard builds it is looking a bit scary, no skill on the Saurus and only 9 points to spend is brutal.  I'd rather take a 5 Vampire team and have an excuse to flounder around every game.

What team are you thinking? I'm gonna be pretty available to play test after this weekend. Saturday/Sunday are wide open for the most part if you or anyone else wants to hit rainy day or wow for games.

Not sure.  At the moment the only team I have in my possession is Necromantic; by the time Spike rolls around I will also have a Nurgle, Vampire and Lizard team and enough other parts to turn my Necros into Undead.  It will have to be one of those teams because I have got to take a break on spending money on this stuff.

At the moment I am thinking Necro or Lizards, and am playing around looking at builds but I am so new to this stuff I'm not really sure where to go with it.

I would be up for practice games on a weekend; it would have to be against Necros, unless I could borrow your Lizards for a match.

I am planning/hoping to go.

I like may 15 as well.
