Was still on my TWW2 bullshit, but stopped.

  • Sisters of Twilight: Honestly kind of too easy, the WElf roster is fucking cracked. Morathi declared on me like T10 then suicided into my main stack, after which I took Quintex with ease. I think she's supposed to be the biggest threat. The biggest issue was that Clan Moulder kept trying to ally with me when we were supposed to be killing each other, silly rats.
  • Markus Wolfhart: Started it and kinda stalled out. The Sacred Pools declared on me, but their starting stack is insane. Like 3 blessed temple guard that I have no way of dealing with, even with a double stack, because my starting units suck. Maybe I should just rush Spektazuma? All the bonus heroes are.. something. the WElf comes with Arrows of Kurnous which is a pretty good artillery strike but a foot knight doesn't seem like he'd be that strong, idk.

Went into my backlog and found I had a One Piece Dynasty Warriors game from some bundle years back, which is okay. The progression is kind of busted; it's based around defeating (or playing as) certain characters, who appear at fixed points in the story, so later upgrades can only be unlocked later in the campaign, which makes sense. The problem arises when you play the Dream Log mode, where basically anyone can appear at any point. I have unlocked so many random upgrades that I shouldn't have, but fortunately I don't think they make that much of a difference. The special objectives are also kind of frustrating. "Kill the boss of this mission with a special finisher attack" means I have to save it up well in advance, then not use it during the actual boss fight because so far every boss' final phase has invulnerability for like 30+ seconds.

Also played some stuff in TTS with friends: a round of Spirit Island as the Portal Hummingbird and my monthly crusade game of Warhammer 40k where I tabled my opponent (Scattered Supplies is now banned because it's a poorly-designed mission).
