Pics of cool shipbuilding plz

Added AA cannon; a dual-barrel 30mm flak gun with a steady output. Added radar tower, and added that applique armor.

Did a live combat test against a Bastion. Other than a direct hit shearing off the AA gun, the only real damage was the applique armor - the alloy walls underneath it were largely unharmed. Hits at the waterline bounced off or simply failed to damage. I also don't know how, but I managed to disable the Bastion's cannons very quickly, despite the front one at least being intact when I got close enough to examine it.

Somewhere along the line, I appear to have become competent with Lian. Might actually be able to fill DPS once in a while without it being all but a throw pick.

Just defeated a full enemy stack packed with elite units with my own not-even-full stack of heavily damaged units.

Because Sword of Khaine is absurd, especially on an already killy Lord like Noctilus.

I'm doing a forced Vlad/Isabella/Mannfred game and I just manipulated Kemmler into confederating via money and doubled my territory almost.

Double-post because wall of zombies.

A wall of zombies stretching with the Great Ocean to the furthest eastern mountains. Miles think, with sucking bogs and darkened skies, they stand alongside men and dwarves, vampires and the occasional orc, a bulwark against the inevitable invasion of Chaos.

I let the Empire keep Altdorf and some minor holdings, Brettonia holds the tip of their peninsula (heh) and no more, and I stretch from Lyonesse to Gnashrak's Lair.

Edit: 398 orcs versus 257 undead resulted in 200 orcs escaping and no redead.

Got every last rare metal in Mega Man X8, which is a true accomplishment.  Some of them required some insanely painful things like taking ride armor through the whole stage, and if you failed to do the timing, jumping and punching in the exact right way, you have to exit the stage and reenter it because if you die you restart after where you can pick up the ride armor.  Every failure meant a ~2 minute delay to try again.

Using a Support Gunner class mod that basically means I literally cannot fire any gun short of an actual machine gun or SMG fast enough to have less than full ammo at any time. And that's in addition to several useful skill boosts.

Also going through the first DLC(main quest done), using a shotgun with around 55x6 damage with explosive effect, a high fire rate(still lower than ammo regen), and a generous magazine size. And the enemies in the first DLC are zombies. I started the DLC with a shotgun proficiency of 3, it's around 9 now and I've only started. I've also been using a 2-round revolver(now 3 rounds due to skill points) for most of the game, with a damage stat of around 250, and with an explosive effect that essentially doubles that. I've found a few revolvers with a higher damage, but nothing with explosive(or any other elemental) so the actual damage is less. It was a time-limited shop item that nearly cleaned out all my cash at the time, but it's been so worth it. Like, one-shotting Crimson Lance Infantry worth it.

Heh. Everything is if you get a good one :P.

Speaking of, replaced that revolver a short while ago with one with 452 damage. No explosive, but the damage is still higher. Slight accuracy loss and still two rounds, but meh. Also swapped out my previous sniper rifle for a Jakobs-model 600-damage one with a slightly higher accuracy than the previous. And the shotgun I mentioned, just replaced that with a non-explosive one, but does 103x9 damage, has a tighter spread and a larger magazine - this shotgun killed the DLC final boss in less than a minute. I've always felt that the shotgun is the natural predator to the zombie.

You haven't fought my continent-spanning nigh-infinite army of zombies obviously.

It's so weird having to tolerate 4 enemy bases on the globe.  Even the Trader's Guild base has Marsec Operatives roaming around with gauss weaponry and *intense* armor.  Not to mention the Guildmaster, who I haven't managed to even wound yet...  we've been doing kobold-style raids, grabbing bits of tech we can't even use.  Yet.  so pretty

But we finally got a good score, a large cargo vessel caught completely intact as it landed!  Spacious hull, engines rich with hellerium (sic), navigation AI, and we even captured the Guild engineer alive! 

I just can't help but feel silly about the actual cargo...
300 individually wrapped soylent.  We're basically building an assault craft out of a glorified semi-trailer.

Started out wanting to build a dagger deck. Real simple idea, get lots of dagger cards and the dagger fate thing, that makes it so playing a dagger draws another card. So I proceeded through the game getting basically all the daggers and blowing all the monies on upgrading daggers.

Five floors in, I'm full up on fate slots and the dagger fate never showed up.

Alright, I says to myself. Screw you anyway. Plan Hobo Knife Fight is still a go.

And so I kept getting daggers and blowing money on upgrading daggers.

One (final) floor later and I've shanked the everything with my excessive amount of daggers, ruining the final boss in about three turns, taking no damage whatsoever from it. Welp.

HECK YEAH! I made it to Canada for the first time!
Unfortunately my self-insert character died heroically to keep the team alive in the second-last battle... but still, it was awesome, eh? Also one of my IRL friends was amongst the survivors, and he went on to make buttloads of money after inventing a poutine-powered car engine. Sweet.
