Not how I last owned, but hearing talk of of EW Prussia made me remember this epic battle:

Spoiler: WARNING: LARGE IMAGE (click to show/hide)

needless to say there were no survivors.

... Wait. Wait. Wait. Why are you using pikemen?

Spoiler: Skyrim Enchantment and Smithing Stuff (click to show/hide)

In Skyrim, enchanted weapons have a certain number of charges on them. As you use them, the charges go down. To increase the charges (up to a maximum), you can spend a filled soul gem.

Ancient Norse equipment ranks between iron and steel:

Iron
Ancient Nord
Steel
Orcish
Dwarven
Nord Hero (available after finishing Companions questline)
Skyforge Steel
Elven
Glass
Ebony
Daedric
Dragonbone (requires Dawnguard)

[Hanslanda]

Daedric actually has a higher armor rating than Dragonbone, although you might be able to enchant Dragonbone better. I can't recall if Enchanting in that game works that way.


As for my own:

What's great about Gunrunner's Arsenal? Esther. Esther the Big Beast. Esther the Almighty. Esther the Mini-Nuke Shotgun (When loaded with Tiny Tots nukes, it is absolutely horrifying. You can devastate half a town with one shot if you arc and spread the submunitions correctly.) Esther is highly effective against: Deathclaws. Lifeclaws. Marked Men. Unmarked Men. Bandits. Rogues. Wizards. NCR. Legion. The Strip. Benny. Denny. George. Groups of foes. Single foes. Tunnelers. Super mutants. Non-super mutants.

Esther beats ghost. Esther beats tank. Esther beats EVERYTHING!

(Warning: This commentator is not responsible for damage received from mininukes fired too close to one's self. This commentator had a variety of perks to reduce damage from his own explosions, explosions in general, and to his limbs, as well as Rad absorption, and therefore cannot testify to the efficiency of Esther when wielded by a non-Wolverine-esque badass.)

The fact that you have to make your character invincible to wield that weapon makes it awesome.

The list was for weapons, not armor. In the way of armor, yes, Daedric has a better base armor rating than Dragonbone. Enchanting only adds effects to gear; it doesn't change armor rating or damage. That would be tempering, part of the Smithing skill.

Ironically, he's just mostly immune to explosives. Everything else kills him pretty damn effective.

As I recall, they had had a large cavalry contingent that was constantly attacking me while their infantry formed up. You see, that forced my infantry into odd formations. By the time I had dealt with the last of the cav, their infantry were withdrawing to the other corner of the map I had to just select all of my infantry and rush them over. Then, of course, those regiments reinforced us from behind the enemy and I caught them in the middle.

Moral of the story is that sometime your early-game pikemen get selected by accident... a lot.

Stomped England's Dover into the ground after they dared settle on my continent, while fighting over a river with antiquated units. Cannons REALLY pack a punch.

Civ V - playing multiplayer - england is pretty much the buttmonkey, being as aggressive as Monty or Alex, but is weaker than both of them.

[Graknorke]

I had just scraped my way through a horde of enemies on less that one magazine in each weapon, using a mix of luck and gratuitous panicked use of explosives. I was almost dead the entire time, but managed to scrape through. Right near my goal, there was a huge zombie there, and I was completely out of ammunition for anything worthwhile. However, the last of my panicsplosives was still there, a nailbomb. I drop the nailbomb, and shrapnel everywhere. Once the distortion clears I see that the super-zombie was dead. And I have 1 HP.

China finally admitted to me (Britain) that they needed our help against the Japanese in early 1939. About a week later 12 British Divisions arrived in China and began to push the enemy back. It's now July 1939 and we're approaching Korea.

Screw history, i have tanks!

Hearts of Iron III. Sure France was left out in the cold, but we'll save them before too long. For now Asia needs to be secured.

[Urist Imiknorris]

You know what they say about land wars in Asia, right?

[Iceblaster]

You know what they say about land wars in Asia, right?

That tanks win everything?

That global thermonuclear war ensues?

[Sirus]

Obliterated a Zuul fleet that outnumbered me two cruisers to one. Only lost a single point-defense cruiser in exchange!

Sadly, they also destroyed a brand new colony because my fleet decided to face off against a single Tarkan scout instead of said Zuul warfleet. *facepalm*

Sword of the Stars.

ETA: Did it again! Slightly fewer Zuul ships, but they were utterly obliterated and I didn't lose a single ship. Considering that they started the battle off to my side and quickly closed to point-blank range, I think that worked rather well.
