I almost hate to ask, but did you take greater losses in Florida of Virginia?

I can only assume the greater of the millions of casualties started with one of the Floridians saying "Hold my beer".

[Steelmagic]

I didn't check regularly enough to say it's false, so there's no reason to not just go with Floridans actually managing to kill millions of HRE troops through sheer insane bullshit.

Finally completed all three Speed Star quests. This is what I had to deal with:

• Your opponent runs a different course than you. Specifically, it flies directly to the goal.
• Every time I had to restart the race, I have to go through the 30-second camera pan(itself is buggy) every time. The third race also has a loading screen to deal with.
• Trying to dash right at the start of the race will instead cause you to dash backwards. Dashing backwards at the start causes you to dash backwards.
• Speed salves do not actually increase your speed at all(may have been due to already having the max 20% boost from equipped chips). Speed salves are apparently also limited in availability(source:wiki), gained only from 3 quests rewards(including THIS quest). It also took me awhile to find them in my inventory.
• Opening the inventory to use a speed salve also brings you to a dead stop for several seconds when you close the menu.
• The second race would have been finished earlier had my controls not reversed suddenly right before the end. Probably related to the same thing dashing at the start.

To win the first and second races, I had to slow the opponent down with a Slow attack(which is only available in a "second" playthrough). This doesn't work in the third race since he flies clear across the map way above the ground(you have to take the long way). For the third race, a dive and dash around a huge crater, I abused a partial self-destruct(release before you go boom) to fall faster and cancel both fall damage and stagger. Also tried something I read where if you start charging your Pod's special attack but then cancel it, everything but you slows down slightly, but I'm not sure if it worked - I did win when I tried it.

I haven't played Hearts of Iron, how did it become the Holy Roman Empire?

[USEC_OFFICER]

You can do so through an extremely convoluted series of events as Germany and a conquering spree. Forming the Holy Roman Empire in HoI4 is very much 'We're on so many different layers of alt-history we might as well have fun with it'. Not only do you have to restore the Kaiserreich and ally with Great Britain, you have to get Wilhelm III on the throne instead of II, reform your succession laws, and finally have the Hindenburg survive long enough to kill off most but not all of the royal family. And then after all of that you still need to conquer many other countries to get the land needed for the decision.

It's... very much something you'd only figure out how to do by reading the raw data.

Thanks.

Conquered Crete as Cimmeria then had an army ambushed by Galatians near Side. Curbstomped the shit out of them.

TWR2

[Steelmagic]

After continued hard fighting, and a landing in Los Angeles, the US was beaten, and the rest of the remaining allies followed as they no longer had US troops stopping us. In the end, Allied losses were almost 40 million, and Central Powers losses almost 14 million, but Kaiserin Victoria Louise of Prussia has conquered most of the world.

Spoiler: Hearts of Iron IV (click to show/hide)

Japan happened to go with the full power to the Emperor route, which made them friends of ours. This is also still the only Hearts of Iron IV game I have finished. Somehow I was third on the scoreboard.

[Amperzand]

Based on an idea from some other guys on the internet, I designed a missile that takes out the scariest ships reliably and with relatively low cost. It seems to work even against heavy laserstars.

Reinstalled HS after a long while, had enough gold for a single arena run, decided, what the heck, might as well. Drafted an abysmally heavy Druid deck that had no 1-drops and way too few 2-drops. But as it turns out, nobody else is playing aggro so I just powered my way trough 8 opponents before losing, bullshit like 8 attack windfury dinosaurs or asshole shrooms that keep spawning trash the enemy can't clear was pretty fun all in all. And the reward was a nifty 225 gold and a pack, not bad for a first run in months.

[IronTomato]

Solo'd The Invincible Sentinel, which is a boss normally meant to be taken on by a team. Somehow I managed to die exactly at the same time as him, and I was afraid that I would have to fight him again after respawning, but luckily that wasn't the case. He was still ded and all of his loots were still there for me to pick up, including a legendary shield.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.

I'm really disappointed that the big raid boss was literally an exact clone of the final boss except more powerful.

[Mech#4]

I had a battle between Isabella von Carstein and Volkmar the Grim. Both were full 20 unit armies.

The main battle wore on due to Volkmar having about 6 units of flaggelants and the Sons of Sigmar (Unbreakable swordsmen). 2 Units of Black Knights and a mounted Wight King I had planned to use for rear charges were caught and beaten by the enemies Griffon Guard (Kislev knights from a mod).

The whole battle devolved to a badly injured Isabella, a Black Coach and Volkmar (on foot). Volkmar was too powerful to engage in melee so I had to repeatedly run him over with the Black Coach, dealing about 100 damage every time the charge hit. It took about 15 minutes to reduce Volkmar from 1600 health (already damaged) to about 300 when he broke, during which he spent most of this time flying down a hillside after taking a coach to the face.


Warhammer 2: Total War.

[Dunamisdeos]

I'm playing that as Clan Angrund and re-took Karaz-Eight-Peaks for the first time! Multiple false starts were involved including a notable 40 on 40 unit battle against the Crooked Moon goblins.

Such a great game.

[Spehss _]

Just had an amazing run with Azazael. Got sad onion and satanic bible on the first floor, got monstro's lung on the second floor, for a short range shotgun brimstone, then found 20/20 on the next floor to double the number of lasers, then found mom's eye a few floors after that to get an extra laser shooting behind me. Managed to max out my damage stat too.

Cleared the game all the way up to mega Satan in about 30 minutes. Could probably make a speedrun using the seed.
