Chapter LV
​
Somewhere, West Virginia, USA.
​
Ruby stood on the counter in Jeb's bathroom and posed in various ways. The others said that she was with a clutch, but she still wasn't so sure. Were her hips always this wide, she thought as her eyes combed over her body looking for and changes that might confirm their claims.
​
It could be because Jeb has been making proper food for her and the rest of the tribe. That could be the reason for her increased thiccness. It worried her to no end. Was she really going to bear Jeb's eggs? What would they look like? Would they be salamanders like assumed, or something else entirely!
​
It all made her head dizzy and her heart ache. If Jeb doesn't already know of his... unique ancestry then how would he react to being told. Perhaps its better if she just doesn't bring it up. Maybe the other day was just a fluke and she nor Jeb would have to worry about it!
​
What was that saying she heard Jeb say once? Something about sleeping dogs? She wasn't sure what the saying was but it sounded like don't bother something that shouldn't be bothered! So she'll do that, she thought as she hopped down from the counter. Just keep Jeb calm and hope it'll all work itself out!
​
She slammed her head against the cabinet in exasperation. Who was she kidding. Of course its just a matter of time before Jeb realizes he isn't human. Well... fully human. Hoping he never finds out and everything goes back to their new normal was just wishful thinking.
​
She should tell Jeb. But how would she even start? Your mother is a creature from the void and you're one to. Oh and by the way you have power that makes a millennia old dragon scared. Surprise!
​
Jeb walked into the bathroom. He absently scratched her head as he walked by. Once he realized she was in a poor mood he focused on her more intently.
"What's wrong? You still feelin' sick?"
​
She shook herself off of her tumultuous thoughts.
"Yeah, just a little slow because of the cold!"
​
It wasn't a complete lie. Despite the warmth of Jeb's home the cold was having a increasing effect as the days went on and the cold got worse. While most of the tribe had moved into the burrows many still stayed in the basement where it was familiar, and warm.
​
The underground burrows provided insulation against the cold but Jeb's basement had that and a stove that warmed them. While the diggers were working on vents so that warm fires can be made, the cold was causing progress to slow as the cold-blooded kobolds came to a crawl.
​
He really should do something about that, Jeb thought. With how active Ruby was he forgot sometimes that they were cold-blooded and that this cold, while it might not kill them, would still not be a fun thing to experience. Maybe he can get some heaters from the General Store, that ought to perk them up a bit until he can figure something more permanent.
​
The only saving grace was that the kobolds weren't camping outside anymore with how much of the burrows had been completed. There were still a few outside. But they were more sentries for protection. The war with the goblins spooked them real good. While they had started excavating the burrows with almost reckless abandon before, now they were more careful of where they dug.
​
They made an effort NOT to dig south-east towards the mine, and the goblins. They also avoided going east further into the mountains and hills. So that left going north along the edge of the hills instead.
​
Looking out the bathroom window Jeb could see several holes in the side of the hill where the burrows poked through. He wasn't sure if they were windows or entrances, or maybe both. They had stretches of fabric and cloth pulled up and over the holes. Some were canopies that covered the top of the entrance, some were just a blanket that covered the hole to keep the wind out.
​
It wouldn't do for long though. Snow would start coming down soon and that cold wind is going to cut right to the bone. So Jeb resolved to get those heaters sharpish today. In the meantime, he's loaned several of his clothes to the kobolds as added protection from the wind and cold.
​
Though "loaned" might not be the right word as he watched several kobolds walk around outside in modified blue-jeans and t-shirts. He wasn't getting them back anytime soon. Even if he did they weren't any good to him anymore.
​
For a good cause though, Jeb thought as he watched Ruby pull one of his old sports shirts over her head. It was much too big for her. The bottom easily dragged along the floor. But a quick cinch was enough for it to come just above the knees of her digitigrade legs.
​
Once she got adjusted she trotted over to Jeb and pulled on his own shirt. He leaned down where she pecked him on the cheek and held him tightly for a long moment. She was scared and didn't know what to do. He didn't know this though, he just chalked it up to her being her usual lovey self.
​
He kissed her back and went on with his business while she made her way down the stairs.
​
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
​
"Jeb? Are you here?" A voice called out as the door opened and a man, slightly shorter than Jeb, with lightly tanned skin, blue intelligent eyes, and chocolate colored hair walked in.
​
Clive entered the home and looked into the living room, but found no Jeb.
"Will you move lad! I ain't so short as ta squeeze 'tween yer legs!"
​
Clive shuffled out of the doorway as Hamish walked in after him. He sniffed as he entered.
"Harvest Mother wha' is tha' stench?!"
​
Clive took a curious sniff himself.
"It smells like the exotic reptile section of a pet... store."
​
Clive trailed off as his eyes landed on the stairs, and on Ruby.
​
"Hello!" Ruby called and waved at Clive. Jeb said that anyone that knocked and walked into his home was either friend or family! So this must be a friend as he didn't look similar enough to Jeb to be related.
​
"Hi?" Clive returned the greeting with a confused wave.
​
With Ruby's cheerful greeting the other kobolds around, who had quickly hid at the noise of the door knock and Clive's and Hamish's voices, started to come out of their hasty hidey holes. Some milled about with their business. Raiding Jeb's fridge once more for snacks, fiddling with the light switch, "borrowing" his silverware.
​
While Clive was confused at the sight of the little lizard people, Hamish on the other hand had gone stark white.
"I fear yer friend might not be amongst tha livin' lad!"
​
"What?" Clive asked in confusion.
​
"These pesky lizards 'ave no doubt killed 'nd eaten him already!" Hamish hissed as he slowly backed away trying, and failing, to pushed Clive out the door.
​
"CLIVE?! THAT YOU?!" Jeb's voice called from somewhere upstairs.
​
"YEAH! THOUGHT I'D FINALLY STOP BY AND SEE WHAT GOT YOU SO EXCITED!" Clive called back up to his still alive and not at all eaten friend.
​
"MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE I'LL BE DOWN IN A MINUTE! IGNORE THE KOBOLDS! THEY'RE HARMLESS!"
​
So that's what Clive did. If Jeb was alright and he said not to worry then he wont. He went and took a seat on the couch, much to Hamish's groans. The halfling was practically attached to Clive as he shot weary eyes towards the many kobolds that were taking an interest in them.
​
Especially a hungry-eyed salamander that was eyeballing Hamish intently. Clive turned the oddly patched up TV on. The screen was cracked but was still in good enough condition that the picture was decent enough to watch something.
​
As the sound on the TV sounded out everyone, other than Clive, gave out gasps of shock and surprise. Hamish and the kobolds seemed to forget each other as what looked like a re-run of British Football, Liverpool vs Manchester United, played on the spiderwebbed screen.
"-by Martinez. Eriksen return pass. Malacia. And Sancho and SCORE!"
​
The crowd on TV cheered and shouted, much to the excitement of Hamish. Who looked fixated on the game.
"Wha' is this Clive?"
​
"That's a TV. The game being shown is called soccer, or football depending on where you live." Clive stated as he watched as several kobolds took a seat next to them, also watching intently on the game.
​
"Football." Hamish uttered to himself as he watched the players kick the ball back and forth.
​
While Hamish was busy being distracted by the soccer game. The hungry salamander stalked up to Hamish and gave a curious flick of its forked tongue. It seemed to like what it smelled. When Hamish cheered once more as a goal was made the salamander lunged!
​
"AAAH!" Hamish cried out as the salamander tore into the halfling!
​
"Hamish?!" Clive turned and looked in shock at his friend as the salamander savaged him! Well, his clothes anyway.
​
The salamander pulled at a pocket on Hamish's coat and gave it a firm tug. A bundle flew out and undid itself. Some sausages, eggs, and some bread were scattered about. Though not for long as the salamander quickly hoovered it all up quick as a flash.
"Oi! Why you thievin' lil bugger! Tha' were my lunch!"
​
The salamander gave a mocking hiss and scurried away from the fuming halfling. It was at that moment that Jeb came down from upstairs.
"What's all the racket for?"
​
"Tha' scaley thief stole my lunch!" Hamish pointed a finger at the fleeing salamander.
​
"Yeah, he likes his treats! Don't ya boy!" Jeb said as the salamander went about his business, unworried about the halfling glaring daggers at the lizard.
​
"So, you FINALLY decided to show up." Jeb said as he took a seat near Clive. Ruby followed when she was knocked out of her daze at the TV by Hamish's yelling.
​
"Yeah, I've been a bit busy and haven't had a free moment to stop by."
​
"Busy doin' what?" Jeb asked as Ruby sat herself in Jeb's lap and snuggled against him while she watched the game with the others while Jeb and Clive talked.
​
"Busy helping Hamish here and his people get settled." Clive said as he gestured to the halfling, who seemed to have forgotten about the salamander and refocused on the game.
​
"Huh. I've been doin' pretty much the same with these guys." Jeb said as he nodded towards Ruby and the other kobolds.
​
"So how's it been goin' with that?" Jeb asked.
​
"Slow. Springs past and they need food for the winter, not only that but they're living in tents right now."
​
"They don't have homes set up yet?!"
​
"No! Not like they can just snap their fingers and sprout homes Jeb!"
​
"How long have they been here?"
​
Clive actually had to think about that.
"3, maybe 4 weeks?"
​
"4 weeks and they still live in tents?!"
​
"Yeah Jeb! Have you seen them!" Clive said as he gestured to the halfling.
​
"They aren't exactly built for building houses quickly!"
​
"Buy a pre-fab! Or Skeeter will loan you his Mini-Ex and you can hire the rest of the railyard to put up SOMETHING better than tents!"
​
That, actually wasn't a bad idea. A pre-fab might be a bit much, both in terms of size and cost. But Skeeter's Mini Excavator would help with clearing land and digging ground for foundation, and with the rest of the railyard no doubt looking for work they could help speed up the process!
"Skeeter still has that old thing?"
​
"That damn thing will outlast this whole town."
​
Guess they'll need to stop back at Skeeter's again, Clive thought.
"So what have you been doing?"
​
"Same as you. Gettin' them sorted before winter comes knockin'."
​
"How's that going?"
​
"Pretty good. They've been camped in my basement damn near their whole time here. But they've dug out the hill out back and have started movin' in there."
​
"Is that why-"
​
"Yeah, that's how that shitshow with Morty started. The two of them dug at the same spot and met one another. You can guess how the rest played out."
​
Maybe he should check up on Morty, just in case, Clive thought. He didn't look too good after Jeb's retribution. But that was for another time, while it was nice catching up with Jeb, Clive came here for a specific reason.
"So... How, exactly, did the kobolds get here?"
​
It was Ruby who answered.
"We came through a golden portal."
​
That was maddeningly unhelpful to his predicament, Clive thought.
"That was it? You just was wandering and poof! Portal?"
​
She shook her head and got a sad look on her face.
"We were attacked. We were almost wiped out when a group of adventurers stormed our home and killed our former master."
​
Clive's blood ran cold.
"Was there a halfling with them?"
​
"Yes. Though we couldn't tell what they looked like with how much dark cloth they wore."
​
Ok. So maybe it WASN'T Kilpa, Clive thought. She said it was uncommon, if not rare, for a halfling to become an adventurer but that didn't mean she was the only one though.
"We did catch some names though."
​
"Y-yeah?" Clive held his breath.
​
"Mira, or Mora."
​
"Moira?" Clive asked.
​
"Yeah! Moira! She was a angry dwarf woman that was with the group!"
​
"Most dwarf women are angry." Hamish chimed in as a break from the game rolled on.
​
Clive wasn't paying attention though. Kilpa mentioned a Moira from her adventure group! A halfling adventurer was strange on its own and wasn't much to go on. But a halfling adventurer with another dwarf named Moira?! That was enough that said to Clive that Kilpa and the kobolds had a history. A bad one.
"And, what would you do if say, you met these adventurers again?"
​
"Kill 'em." Clive was shocked at the statement. Though it took him a second to realize it came from Jeb and not Ruby.
​
"What?! Why?!"
​
"Oh please! If they're anything like we are in our games we'd be doin' the world a favor!" Jeb stated.
​
"Don't be!" Ruby quickly said.
​
"Why not?"
​
"Because if we sought revenge on everyone who did us wrong, or killed us. Then you would need to scour the entirety of our world. We didn't exactly have any friend or allies." Ruby said with some embarrassment.
​
While she also had little doubt Jeb could take care of them, if he could make a dragon scared then he should have little problem dealing with the adventurers, she was more worried of an extended fight potentially bringing out the darkness in Jeb!
​
"Alright fine! I'll refrain from huntin' them down in vengeance against my girlfriend and her folk." Jeb said as he backed down under the intense, pleading, stare of Ruby.
​
"What if they wanted to make amends?" Clive asked. If the kobolds didn't hold a grudge then maybe there was hope that there wouldn't be a bloodbath! Well, another one anyway.
​
Ruby looked at Clive with confusion.
"I... don't know? We don't really NEED or want anything that they could give us that we don't already have."
​
That threw a wrench in Clive's plan. But what did he expect. If the kobolds are anything like in their games then they mostly only collect gold for dragons or to hoard it. Jeb's providing them with food and shelter so that's gone too. Maybe a simple apology would work? Or would that be TOO simple? These thoughts clouded Clive's mind as he tried to process things.
​
"What's got you so stormy lookin'?" Jeb asked as he watched his friend's mood darken.
​
"Hmm? Oh. Nothing. Just some stuff I need to work out back home."
​
"Why? What's wrong with your apartment?"
​
"Hmm? I didn't tell you?"
​
"Tell me what?"
​
"They kicked me out on horseshit claims!" Clive fumed, unaware of Hamish's uncomfortable shuffling next to him.
​
"Well then where are you stayin' if not there?"
​
"The halflings have offered to house me for now. I have a tent with them south of town."
​
"Well shit. Then you really do need homes huh?" Jeb said.
​
The two friends sat in silence after that. They were only marginally interested in the soccer game. Unlike the kobolds and Hamish who both seemed content to be distracted by the game that neither worried the other.
​
After a time though the game came to an end. With his goal of coming here complete, and feeling good about catching up with Jeb, Clive and Hamish said their goodbyes. The halfling in a vastly different mood than he was when he first arrived.
​
Jeb made to leave not long after. He still wanted to pick up some heaters for the kobolds. He also thought about maybe getting some chickens for them as well. While they've been fine snacking on his food and rations, and hunting squirrels, that would only last so long. If he can get some chickens for them then they could be set for a time and be a bit more independent of him.
​
With that Jeb left after Clive and made his own way into town, following him over to the General Store. Leaving Ruby to her own thoughts and plans for the future.

[First] [Prev] [Next]

Good evening everyone, I hope you are doing well.
When Total War Warhammer 3 first came out, I really enjoyed Realm of Chaos. I played mostly as Kislev and loved steamrolling my area of the map.
After not playing for nearly a year, I started playing an Ice Court campaign in Immortal Empires...and I got my behind handed to me. I'm a casual player and I don't think I'm good at all at total war games, as I mostly care about roleplaying a faction. I wanted to play IE because of the giant map and all the factions involved.
Are there any mods or settings to make it less brutal? I play on Easy/Easy but it still feels too hard for me.

Hey Leute, war echt schön mit euch. Mach jetzt leider meinen Traum wahr und schließe mich den finnischen Eliteeinheiten als Koch an. Ich denke, die Schweine und Hühner werden das verstehen. Freu mich schon aufs gemeinsame Jagen (ist halt notwendig in der Einöde). Ich finds aber weiterhin gut, was ihr macht, seid vielleicht nur nicht ganz so dogmatisch. Ex-vegane Grüße 😘

There were a couple of nerfs that hurt this build's lethality over that past few seasons: slower swap speed, the removal of the Surprise Attack mod in Lighfall, and the nerf to invisibility (which I'm still really annoyed about, tbh - considering how MUCH STRONGER invis was pre-Void 3.0).
With those nerfs, I can't play as aggressive as I used to. Coupled with the meta changing like a million times since I last played PVP - IMO, while definitely weaker, it's still pretty lethal.
If you're not familiar with the play style, it revolves around bow swapping. Prime opponent with whatever precision bow you like (Point of the Stag is a great option) > swap to clean up with Rat King > (if there's a close range flank attempt) > dodge to slow enemy, reload, go invis, and heal all in one move > desecrate flanker for a 2 for 1. Back in the day, it was much easier to go on insane kill streaks with Rat King (or any sidearm) because of Surprise Attack, but while it's still possible, you just need to work for them a bit more.
A glaring weakness with this build - outside of the aforementioned nerfs, is MoB's dodge cooldown. This makes the build very high risk, high reward. And I'd be afraid to go against someone who has mastered it.
But I can't tell you satisfying it is to shut people down using some off meta build that's a shell of its former self.

Hey Leute, war echt schön mit euch. Mach jetzt allerdings ein Auslandssemester in Frankreich. Das ist eine Nahrungswüste. Um zu überleben werde ich viel foie gras essen müssen, obwohl ich es nicht aussprechen kann. Den Parmesan werde ich schon ein wenig vermissen 😋 Ich finds aber weiterhin gut, was ihr macht, seid vielleicht nur nicht ganz so militant. Ex-vegane Grüße 😘

So I'm 24f, and to be entirely honest, I haven't had a boyfriend since I was 17. I feel so bad admitting that but it's the truth.
I'd always been the slightly nerdy, somewhat plain looking 'weird' kid. I'd been bullied for my looks and interests for the whole of my secondary/high school life. Ugly, fat, nerd, no friends, Kids can be mean. Looking bac I know I was no particular stunner, but I simply had a slightly broader build, wasn't considered overweight by anyone outside of school, and there's nothing wrong with a deep interest in school, Marvel and Star Wars.
But it was rough at the time, so when I met Jack (false name) on a school trip, I was ecstatic. We had similar interests, got on really well for months, but things started to sour when I said I didn't want to have sex. I felt we were too young, I wasn't ready, and he got cold real fast. I'd find him kissing other girls, I heard him telling friends I was a bet that he didn't know how to get rid of. He wouldn't be seen with me, said I was an embarrassment, laughed at the Valentines and birthday cards I made him. I remember trying to break up with him after he dragged me out of the house when I was sick, and then abandoned me in the middle of town. However, he kept pulling the 'I'll be depressed if you leave me' card, and I was a dumb kid who didn't want him to be upset. I also didn't think I could do any better, that at least somebody liked me. It dragged out, and out, and eventually he left me.
It was a very toxic breakup, and I spent the las year at school hearing him tell everybody that I slept with him, fabricating details of our sex life, laughing about them. In reality I never slept with him, and hearing these things really hurt. But it came to a stop, thankfully-- one of my family members worked at the school and overheard what was being said, then told my ex boyfriend just what would happen if he said another word. Unethical, I know, but it worked, and I never saw my ex again.
Since then, I've focused on myself and my studies. I have a degree, I'm in postgraduate education. I'm comfortable with how I look, but would maybe like to lose 10 pounds. I keep to myself a lot, I don't like to party and enjoy my hobbies. I'd genuinely love to have a boyfriend, but I'm still rather nervous.
I know that logically, it's not all men, and that I know meeting someone like my ex isn't guaranteed. I also know that my self confidence isn't that great. I also know that I shouldn't rush to find a boyfriend because my friends and family wonder why I've taken so long.
But I'm just so nervous??? I talk to guys on dating apps but get the fear when it comes to meeting up. I'm super shy when encountering guys that I find attractive and/or have great chemistry with. I'm terrified of meeting up with them, them not liking how I look, or making mean comments behind my back. I just don't know how to get over it, even though I'd really like to.

Ive downloaded some TFA weapon mods but the weapons are invisible when i equip it.All the HUDs are showing,even some smoke effects after shooting.I already downlarTFA base.What should i do?

Note: Any troop mustering, patrol setting, siege starting, or actions of that sort must either ping the mods with automod in the comments of the post, or you can modmail us with a link or the details. If the mods aren't notified of the action, we can't keep track of everything and run the mechanical aspects of this game in a timely manner.

• A template to use as a guide when posting or modmailing army movements can be found here.
  
• A spreadsheet to calculate movement times can be found here.
  

Standard mechanical rules such as sieges, CV, etc, cannot be altered by plot odds or lore flavor.

Mustering

Garrison

A holdfast during times of peace are assumed to have 10% of their men raised. This is the garrison, which does not cost money or lead to loss of future income, and is always inside the respective holdfast unless specified otherwise

Mustering Time

You do not raise all your troops immediately.
40% of a holfast's men are "regulars," and can be mustered immediately (either sending a modmail with the orders, or posting it and using automod to ping the mods in the comments), in addition to the constantly raised garrison. The remaining 50% are "reserves" and take a full 24 hours (1 month in game) to be mustered, regardless of whether the regulars are already mustered or not.

Rally points

Multiple allied armies may converge on one spot, or a rally point, marked by an authority figure after a messenger or a raven sends word. Every group of soldiers, by default, must be commanded by a named character of some sort.

Regeneration

Troops regenerate at a rate of 10% per year.

Costs

Troop Upkeep

When levies are raised, they're not working the land. In addition, it they need to be outfitted with basic armor and weaponry, as well as fed. For every 1% of levies raised, the house raising them loses 1% of the next year's income (pre-taxes). Every levy raised costs .01 gold a month in flat upkeep

Desertion

When a month passes and someone isn't paying their troops, some of them will desert. The exact amount that do depends on a roll. The roll will continue to occur each month until the player either pays their troops or has none left. Troops that desert either return to their holdfast, or form bandit groups. Both outcomes count the troops as having "died" for the purpose of them regenerating later for the holdfast. More troops are lost with each month they don't get paid.

1d100	Result
1-25	60% of troops desert
26-50	45% of troops desert
51-75	25% of troops desert
76-100	10% of troops desert.

Troops and Battles

CV and Composition

Every troop has a CV (Combat Value), that is used to judge their strength in battle.
Troops are split up by five different types: light infantry, heavy infantry, ranged infantry, light cavalry, and heavy cavalry. Each type has a different CV, and infantry and cavalry have different movement speeds. Each region of Westeros has different amounts of each type of troop, and different CV values for those troop types. Some regions are missing certain troop types, or have other, unique ones.
Assaults on holdfasts are rolled using ACV for both attackers and defenders
All the troop compositions and CVs can be found here.

Battle Calculation

(CV Team/Total CV of both Teams)*100 = a percent
Consult the chart below after you find how many dice you roll for the given percent
Each side rolls, and then loses a percent of men equal to what the other side rolled (think of the result rolled as the strength of the attack being inflicted on the other side).

% of CV	Roll	% of CV	Roll
7.5-12.5%	1d10	47.5-52.5%	5d10
12.5-17.5%	1d10, 1d5	52.5-57.5%	5d10, 1d5
17.5-22.5%	2d10	57.5-62.5%	6d10
22.5-27.5%	2d10, 1d5	62.5-67.5%	6d10, 1d5
27.5-32.5%	3d10	67.5-72.5%	7d10
32.5-37.5%	3d10, 1d5	72.5-77.5%	7d10, 1d5
37.5-42.5%	4d10	77.5-82.5%	8d10
42.5-47.5%	4d10, 1d5	82.5-87.5%	8d10, 1d5
47.5-52.5%	5d10	87.5-92.5%	9d10

Note:

While patrols with less than 7.5% of CV will autosurrender, an army that is lead by PCs is not subject to these rules, and it is up to the commander of the troops to decide what to do.
For small scale conflicts, Freeform rolls may be utilized by the mods in preference over full mechanics.

Retreat

If the loser of either a ground or naval battle refuses to surrender, they must retreat. Smaller forces have a better chance of retreating, as do forces of cavalry. The formula for retreat is below.
(Engage Speed - Retreater Speed) x 5% = Engage Chance

• As long as the Engage Speed is not less than the Retreater Speed, there is at least a 25% Engage Chance
• If the Engage Speed is slower than the Retreater Speed, there is a 5% Engage Chance

The engage chance refers to the probability that the pursuing force can catch the retreating force and engage them again. Once it is calculated, a d100 will be rolled to find out what happens.
Walls, impassable mountains, and shores make retreating harder, but the level of difficulty is up to a mod. It will always be at least twice as hard to retreat, but it can be higher in certain situations.

Death/Injury Rolls

Any named characters that participate in a battle must be subjected to a death roll. The odds of them dying are based of the percent of casualties their army took during the battle. The below percentages are of the previous roll given during the battle, not out of a full d100.
Bottom 80%: Death
Next 10%: Maimed
Next 10%: Severely Injured

• Example: if your side took 15% casualties than 1-12 is death in a 1d100 roll, 13 is maimed, and 14-15 is severely injured.

Movement and Terrain

Spreadsheet to calculate movement times can be found here.
When moving from one point to another, please specify where you want to go, which troops you're moving, and the PCs (player characters) that are moving with the army, especially the commander(s).
In any route, the starting tile does not count for the purposes of total movement cost.

Movement Orders

Players are required to have the following information when submitting an order to move troops or ships:

• Number of troops
• Composition of troops
• Any PCs and ACs
• A map of their path; if player is unable to submit map themselves, then they can have another player submit one for them with original player's permission

If any part of the required criteria is not fulfilled, then movement order will not be processed and the player will be subsequently informed of such action in addition to what part is missing from their order.

Terrain

Terrain Type	Movement Cost
Fields (Light Green)	1
Hills (Light Brown)	2
Forests (Green)	2
Tundra (White)	2
Mountains (Brown)	3
Swamps (Dark Green)	3
Desert (Yellow)	3
Mountains (Dark Brown)	-

Movement Points

• A host made up of all infantry gets 12 movement points a day
  
• A host made up of all heavy cavalry gets 18 movement points a day
  
• A host made up of all light cavalry gets 24 movement points a day
  
• A party of twenty or less (mechanical troops) gets 15 movement points a day on foot, and 30 movement points a day on horseback
  
  • Player characters don't count as part of the party, as they are not mechanical troops

A mixed host moves as fast as the slowest unit it contains, so most hosts (since they would include infantry) would get 12 points a day, unless the cavalry was riding ahead.
When an army reaches the size of 5,000 men, it will have its speed reduced by 1, and the speed will be further reduced by 1 for every further 1,000 men in the army, to a minimum of 6.

Other Terrain Effects

Hills grant a stationary force an extra 25% CV, and the Non impassible mountain tiles grant an extra 50% CV,
Dornish troops treat desert like grassland, Northern troops and beyond the wall treat ice/snow/tundra like grassland, Crannogmen treat swamps like forests.
A host may opt to hold a bridge/ford in their hex that is not part of a hold. They would gain a defensive bonus from a palisade. (25%)

Scouting and Engagement

Overview

A roll is not required for two armies to meet on roads*, holdfasts, ports, rally points, and passes because they are smaller areas that are assumed to be common knowledge (a pass is any tile of less heavy terrain between two mountains or hills, or between mountains and a river, or between mountains and the coastline). The two armies know everything about each other automatically.
*Meet on roads meaning when one group of soldiers is stationary on a road and another group of PCs or soldiers are moving on the same road in the same area, along the road. If another group of PCs/soldiers are crossing a road in the same tile that a group less than 250 soldiers is patrolling the road, there is no detection.
Whenever two hosts are on the same tile (or adjacent tiles) but not in a specific area like the examples mentioned above, they must roll to determine what their scouts know. The only exception to this rule is an army of under 250 men on one tile, which cannot roll to detect another force, but can still be detected itself.
The rolls determine if one army can engage another force that's either on the same tile, or on an adjacent one. They also determine how much scouts and patrols know about their foe, from the relative size of the army, the region of the army, to the banner that army is flying.
To set up scouts, specify a tile on the map that you want them to patrol on. To detect anything, there need to be at least 250 men in the scouting party, and the tile must be patrolled for at least 1 hour (about a day and a half in game. However, when detecting an army of 1k+ men, a force will instantly roll detection. Making the party larger than 250 can increase the chances that they detect the enemy (see the modifiers underneath the table below). Stationary ships/troops that meet the minimum requirements are assumed to be patrolling, and will mechanically act as such.
If a force remains patrolling on a tile for more than the minimum time, it gets another patrol roll for every further 24 hours (1 month in game) that it stays patrolling on that tile.
If a force detects and is able to engage another force, but does not respond within 48 hours on reddit, the right of that force to act first is waived and the other force can either continue on its route or roll its own detection, depending on the circumstance.
Small parties aren't detected by default, but if someone is attempting to track them or hunt them down in a plot, specific odds will still be used for that detection.
Patrols cannot be set, and forts or ports cannot be built, within 2 hexes of living Essosi cities.
A player cannot have more than 20 troops under their control within 2 hexes of living Essosi cities.

Detection Calculation

Detection Roll

Some conditions affect the outcome of a detection roll.

Detection Roll Condition	Modifier
Scouts are in adjacent tile	Odds taken from column to the left
Scouts are within two hexes of a player's holdfast	Odds taken from next column
The player controlling the scouts was alerted in some way	+2
Additional men in patrol	+2 per 250 men, caps at +4

Engagement Calculation

Based on the results of the detection roll, the engagement roll has different odds for whether a force can be engaged or not. There are four levels of detection, from only detecting men without any numbers or sigils, to getting all relevant information, each of which is present in the table below.

Engage?	Detection Level 1	Detection Level 2	Detection Level 3	Detection Level 4
1	No	No	No	No
2	No	No	No	Yes
3	No	No	No	Yes
4	No	No	Yes	Yes
5	No	No	Yes	Yes
6	No	Yes	Yes	Yes
7	No	Yes	Yes	Yes
8	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
9	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
10	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes

Engagement Condition	Modifier
Adjacent Tile	-2

If a unique scenario occurs, it is up to mod discretion to add other modifiers to the detection and engagement occurs.

Sieges

Sieging a keep requires men equal to 150% of that keep's normal garrison (i.e. 15% of that keep's total levies).
A coastal holdfast with a port cannot be properly besieged unless it is also blockaded by ships. Otherwise, the men inside never start starving, and people can enter and leave the holdfast by sea (if the holdfast has mechanical ships in port).
Even if a siege is not explicitly ordered, when an outside force occupies a holdfast tile with enough men to siege, the men inside that holdfast are still unable to muster men without the outside force allowing them to, and must pass a roll to successfully send out ravens.
When sending out ravens under siege, only one raven per outside location can attempt to be sent. A total number of ravens able to attempt to be sent will be rolled by the mod team, based on the holdfast being sieged. Odds for ravens being shot down under siege cannot be altered by either side using special situations (training archers harder, sending out falcons with the ravens, etc).
Forces assaulting or sieging a keep do not automatically know the amount or composition of men inside.

Length of a Siege

The amounts of time a siege lasts before the troops inside begin to starve are listed below. It depends on the number of troops inside, and the normal size of that castle's garrison. For places that don't usually have troops, such as forts, the garrison number counts as 10% of the max capacity.

Men Inside	Garrison 100-200	Garrison 250-400	Garrison 450+
25,000+	0	1	2
10,001-25,000	1	2	3
5,001-10,000	2	3	4
2,501-5,000	3	4	5
1,001-2,500	4	5	6
501-1,000	5	6	7
101-500	6	7	8
0-100	7	8	9

Note: Cities always last 1 less month under siege than they would otherwise.

Starvation

After the allotted number of months have passed, the holdfast begins losing men to starvation by the following amounts. The two columns are added together each time. Percent of the troops is deducted first, then the number of men.

Month	% lost	# lost
1	15%	100
2	25%	150
3	35%	200
4	45%	250
5	55%	300
6	65%	350
7	75%	400
8	85%	450
9	95%	500

If a holdfast under siege doesn't wish to lose men, the only other option is to go forth and fight the besiegers, or to somehow escape by other means.

Raiding

A minimum of one hundred men are required to commit any raid.

Raiding a Holdfast Tile

Garrison: The garrison is not touched for the holdfast in a raid, unless a user specifically says to do so - but the user will know about smallfolk fighting back too.
Raiding Army in Holdfast Tile: The holdfast knows there is an army in their holdfast tile automatically. Regular smallfolk roll for if they know how large of an army, as well as sigils.
Defending Smallfolk: Any raid can be met by 8-13% of the holdfast's total force as smallfolk. This does not include anything from the garrison or keep. For CV, it is 60% Light Infantry; 40% Ranged Infantry

• When a holdfast is 80% raised or higher, it will have no defensive force amongst its smallfolk
• [[1d6+7 Smallfolk Defenders]]

Movement Orders: Must be all submitted and calculated (including potential reward movement point spending) prior to a raid. Without clear and distinct orders concerning movement, a raid will not be rolled

Raid Rewards from Holdfast Tile

Max movement points to spend in a raid is 5 total.
Pillage: Pillaging is the equivalent of searching the lands outside a keep for gold and valuables. The raiders may choose to roll 1d10 for every 1 movement point being spent to pillage the lands. The result of all the dice being rolled is a percentage, times the base income of the hold (see the "next" column of the tax tab of the econ sheet), is how much gold the raiders successfully take. This gold is deducted from the following years income.
Raze: Razing lands costs 3 movement points to do.

• From a Raid:
  
  • Next Year holdfast generates: 35% income
  • 1 Year After holdfast generates: 75% income
  • 2 Years After holdfast generates: 95% income
• From a Siege Party:
  
  • Next Year holdfast generates: 15% income
  • 1 Year After holdfast generates: 60% income
  • 2 Years After holdfast generates: 85% income
• From Someone in Control of the Keep:
  
  • Next Year holdfast generates: 0% income
  • 1 Year After holdfast generates: 50% income
  • 2 Years After holdfast generates: 75% income

Sack: This action can only be taken if you control the keep. All gold stored at the keep at the time is stolen without a roll, and Businesses within the holdfast are effected (by their yearly income) when a keep is sacked.

Raiding a Tile Adjacent to a Holdfast

Garrison: The garrison cannot be apart of these attempts
Raiding Army in Tile: Smallfolk can decide to warn their liege lord - Smallfolk Roll with "Notice an Army" as the lowest; or Smallfolk can attack (later warn liege lord should they win/any survive).
Defending Smallfolk: If opted to fight, smallfolk can have 4-7% of the holdfast's total force as a smallfolk milita^. For CV, it is 80% Light Infantry, 20% Ranged Infantry

• When a holdfast is 51% raised or higher. It will have no defensive force among its smallfolk
• [[1d4+3 Smallfolk Defenders]]

Raid Rewards from Tile Adjacent to Holdfast

Razing:

• From a raid of an adjacent tile:
  • Next Year holdfast generates: 85% income
  • 1 Year After holdfast generates: 95% income

Forts

Forts provide defense bonuses to troops stationed inside. This is nowhere near as much as a castle would, but still a lot more than having the troops just camp out in the open.
You cannot just build a level 2 or 3 fort. You have to start with a level 1 fort and then upgrade it to get to a higher level. Forts cannot be higher than a level 3.
A fort cannot be built on a tile that already has any major structure either on it or adjacent to it.

Prices

Fort Level	Price	Build Time	Cooldown	Troop Capacity	Minimum Troops
1	800	6 months	6 months	1,000	500
2	2,000	9 months	9 months	2,500	750
3	5,000	12 months	12 months	5,000	1,000

Maintenance

A fort has to be maintained in order to avoid falling into disrepair. At the end of each year, a fort needs to have a minimum number of troops (listed in the table above). If it doesn't have at least that many, it begins degrading. After 1 year of degradation, a fort costs half it's price (to get to the current level), and after 2 years, it goes down a level and costs the full price and time to upgrade again. If a level 1 fort degrades for two years, it no longer provides any defensive bonus whatsoever. A tier 1 fort that is partially degraded will have .5 DV, and so forth.

Detection

Forts do not receive the same detection rolls as patrols, i.e. adjacent rolls. However, forts built on roads or in passes do receive detection rolls.

Smallfolk Rolls

Smallfolk rolls are rolled in tiles containing holdfasts, or tiles adjacent to holdfasts. There is only one roll per holdfast, and not for every tile near a holdfast that a force passes through. Tiles that come within range of two or more holdfasts have their single roll determined by which holdfast is closest. If equidistant, a single roll is done and all equidistant holdfasts are informed of the result.
No mechanical actions can be taken as a result of the information gained from a smallfolk roll, which includes troops being raised, gold or characters being moved, and men being sent out from the keep. However, letters can still be sent within 48 hours of the roll results.
For intra-realm conflicts, smallfolk rolls will not typically be performed for forces under 2,501 men, allowing the possibility of surprise attacks and recognizing that civil wars may start without word immediately spreading. Once a conflict has become widely known or in cases where houses are known to be hostile toward one another, smallfolk rolls will be performed for intra-realm engagements.

Been looking at Q ex-friend's Twitter this week to see if any indication of being stopped by police since my report a few weeks ago (none) & if she'd flip out over Trump (yes, but the obsession remains with Walz). Just thought I'd share some "highlights" from the last 4 hours!

1. The third world welfare takers in Minnesota number more than anyone would believe. And I’m not talking immigrants or illegals.
   
   1. Mental illness is often a choice. More often than “experts” would lead you to believe.
   2. Tucker Carlson was right. A movement filled with people who think they are gods, able to change creation/nature/biology. This is ultimately a war on Almighty God (and remember, friends, they lose - Jesus Christ has already overcome the world).
   3. When you understand (MN governor) Tim Walz is owned, this all makes sense. Selling your soul to Satan returns like this.
2. Take away the guns, you still have mentally ill people roaming the streets with knives, rocks, broken glass, a motor vehicle...
   

As if I needed more validation that I made the right decision. SHE contributed to my mental illness, which by the way, was NOT a choice. I was born with it, grew up in trauma & then had a brain injury. And didn't get better for years exposing myself to this!

This is in relation to Borderlands 3 Class mods. I'll be explaining everything in a way that requires no extra work to understand game mechanics or what not.
----------------------------------------- Questions -----------------------------------------
I'll state these here so you can think of them as you read.

1. The chance of getting a "perfect" class mod. where perfect means there is only 1 combination that works. 0 margin of error.
2. The chance of getting a "good enough" class mod. Where good enough means multiple stat and/or skill combinations are good enough.
3. How to do calculations for a class mod that would be good enough.
4. What math did i mess up.

----------------------------------------- What is a Class mod -----------------------------------------
This is a class mod
https://i.imgur.com/hyGSiDR.png
I've put relevant numbers and text here and I'd like to further clarify that the bonuses from the stats are set, only the types of bonuses (ex: weapon accuracy) are random
My understanding is that there are no weights or special rules to how these stats are chosen. other than what I listed in the picture
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What I've done and what I'd like to learn ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My understanding is that for the bottom 3 stats, for it to be perfect it's a 1/314,364 (69*68*67) chance to get any 3 particular stats.
After that for a "good enough" class mod, If i say 1 stat is required and any one of 10 stats is required after that (leaving the third to be anything at all), i THINK it's three 1/69 chances and then 2 10/68 chances. meaning if you did the math very roughly just to approximate you'd need to succeed a 1/23 chance and then succeed at least 1 of two 1/7 chances.
After that i have no idea how to do the skill allocation since what would be 80 possible combinations is limited by the fact they can't go over a collective +5
-----------------------------------------
Thank you very much for reading and any attempts at helping me figure this out

The current way of how TNO handles and treats these events is just disappointing. A while back I finished a Japan playthrough (I went with Kaya) and for the 1964 Summer Olympics the only event (or even interaction) I got was the world news event. That's all, no cool stories' of Japanese athletes getting prepared, of how the government will use the event to push its geopolitical agenda, or even a nice little mechanic for making (or breaking) Japan's chances for the 64' Olympics to be successful (culturally or even economically). I can only imaging that there's jack all for the U.S., Germany, or any other country that is currently playable when it pertains to their Olympic reactions.
And while for the 1968 Games the devs are planning to make plenty of events to show how that Olympics will be like in TNO, there is still plenty to be done with the Olympics in TNO that is currently overlooked.
Now I know that the devs already have their hands full with all the current reworks and I am not asking them to make any changes they can't presently accommodate. But when the development room comes up, an update that would flesh out the Olympics would be exciting and bring one the more overlooked battlegrounds of OTL's Cold War to TNO.
Bidding
Now I understand if the dev team would find this to be too much work and simply keep OTL's hosts (with a couple of exceptions to reflect TNOTL) to make things easier but I digress. With the world gripped by an even more contentious Cold War, winning the chance to host these events for either the three superpowers or their aligned countries would be a very big deal.
In OTL, the idea of Tokyo beating out Detroit for the 64' Games wasn't that much of a concern. In TNOTL however the news would be beyond humiliating. The U.S. government (and OFN) would try to put everything into winning the bid for the 68' Olympics but its a heated competition, the French State wants to host the Games in Lyon to showcase its regime to the world and is of course backed by the Einheitspakt. In addition, two Latin American countries (Argentina and Mexico) are bidding as well with Buenos Aires being compelling due to Argentina's neutral alignment while Japan and the CPS would back Mexico City due to Mexico being either more friendly than Argentina or being straight CPS-aligned if Lozano was elected (Japan would back Buenos Aires if Mexico elects Ordaz, with the OFN now having the choice of either sticking with Detroit or backing Mexico City to deepened their OFN ties).
The bidding for the 72' Olympics would be similarly contentious with the Reich itself now wanting Munich to host so that one of Hitler's four possible successors (Bormann, Goring, Heydrich, or Speer) can use the Games to glorify their rule (and of course promote the ideals of the "Aryan" race). The Iberian Union (or Spain if the divorce happens) will try to bid for themselves to showcase Franco's regime and promote nationwide stability (needless to say if Iberia collapses into the Iberian Wars, then the IOC will have to find an emergency host similar to how in the current versions the 1964 Winter Olympics have to be moved to Calgary from Innsbruck due to the German Civil War, which should change due to the GCW being removed). For the OFN, Canada would like to have Montreal be their bid but if Detroit either lost out on the 68' Games or the OFN backed Mexico City instead Detroit could also be an option instead of giving them to Montreal. If they lost the 68' Games bid, Mexico City and/or Buenos Aires could still try to make a bid. For the CPS, one of their aligned countries could try and bid (Thailand is their most likely candidate with Bangkok being the host city of course) or they could back Mexico City or Buenos Aires again (if either of them lost).
Preparation
So okay, your country has won the rights to host an Olympics, now what?. Is your host city's infrastructure up to par?. Do you have the necessary sports venues?. Are the city's citizens enthusiastic for the Games?. Are you going to spare no expense or will you try to spend the bare minimal?. What are you going to show/sell to the world whenever it cultural or political or simply just marketing your country to the world?.
Needless to say, there's a lot that goes into making an Olympics successful from not only an sociopolitical standpoint but economically as well. For every Olympics that is both profitable and leaves a lasting impact (the 84' Olympics in LA for example) there are plenty of Olympics that are considered a disaster (the 76' Olympics in Montreal for example). So a decisions tab/mechanic for managing the coming Games would be very immersive.
Additionally, there should be a way to influence your countries athletes. You could fund developmental centers to improve the likelihood of talent coming out for future Olympics, or hire top trainers to help out with your current athletes instead. If your not interested in doing things the legal way, there's always some nice juice under the counter, just don't get caught or else.
Conclusion
The Olympic Games are one of the most important pieces of geopolitical soft power any country big or small can utilize for their own gain (economical, political, and even cultural). In a world incredibly divided and polarized, the Games would the soft power crown jewel, especially among the three superpowers. It would add a more diplomatic wrinkle in a mod that doesn't really have much outside of the direct détente's between the three and give more smallemedium-sized countries more attention and importance (For example, if Brazil for one reason won an Olympic bid (especially over Argentina if they were competing for hosting duties) it should be considered a major victory for them in the South American Cold War, vice versa for Argentina if they did the same). Any suggestions and/or questions are welcomed.
Small Note: Any nation that could realistically host the Games should have the ability to place a bid.
