I don't think the battle of Agincourt involved French kings. Or castles.

How did the French attack you, anyway? I remember hearing that the AI couldn't embark armies on ships, so England is basically safe forever.

Caen is on the mainland and is owned by the English at the start of the game. I'd held it for some time.

That was also the game where I fought the Mongols to a standstill in eastern Poland. Turns out that when you can use longbows to hit them from across the map from the safety of a wall, their fast horse archers aren't worth shit.

Furthermore Northern France plus the low countries are held by rebels at the start of the game so if you expand fast early on as England you can get a lot of territory on continental Europe.

Ah yes, I had forgotten about that.

[SOLDIER First]

Restarted the game as a Sorcerer. After perhaps an hour of playing, I managed to beat the Last Giant first try while taking only a single hit, near the end. ("Wow," I thought, "I've almost beaten him without taking a single hit!" [gets hit immediately after])

Having a reliable ranged option is so weird after relying on a sword for so long.

Dark Souls 2

[Akura]

Trying to protect a psychotic devil-worshiping old lady from three thugs trying to beat down her door. Snuck off her second-floor balcony, sleep-choked one, snuck back inside, opened the door to the let the other two in. As one entered the room I was in(failing to notice me by the doorway), I sleep-darted the other in the hallway, then choked out the last. Never even noticed me, or the guy I choked in the street.

Dishonored. Question: if I open a door to let a swarm of rats to kill conscious people, does it count against a no-kill run? The Steam board is giving me very mixed answers, some saying that feeding unconscious(no word on conscious guards) doesn't, some saying it does. Pretty sure I failed the Ghost achievement, since escaping the prison, someone found one of the guards I choked out - I think it was the friendly prisoner you find just before the security door before setting the bomb.

[Iceblaster]

I don't think it counts against ghost if a body is found, but I believe that letting an unconscious person die that you made unconscious counts as a kill.

I discovered that the Hacker can actually hack a lot more than just computers - you can hack cloning machines, sell-o-matics, ammo dispensers, and much more.

Particularly amusing is the ability to make televisions explode and make refrigerators "Run", though it's tough to actually hurt people in this manner since they usually try to search for who's hacking their stuff. It is useful for creating entrances, however.

Yeah, sorcery builds can generally be pretty useful. I'd probably use them more often if Teh Cummunity didn't accuse people of "spamming magic" if they ever make remotely heavy and/or effective use of it. I've never understood that since one may as well bitch about pure melee builds "spamming swords".

People gotta feel superior to other people somehow

[Akura]

Found a few people trapped behind a Wall of Light(device that insta-ashes anyone who try to cross it but the guards - powered by Cthulhuian whale oil), with the nearby City Watchmen talking about how live, healthy people are being used for experiments in curing the plague(so far with a 100% horrible death rate) and how they're little more than pigs to the slaughter. The people heard it too, and were scared shitless.

As soon as the guards stopped talking, I teleported down behind one, choked him out, and dragged him into a building. When his partner came back by the building, I grabbed him and threw him in too. Then I took down the guard down the street, and pulled him in as well. Next, I headed over to the Wall of Light and pulled out the fuel tank to shut it off. The civilians thanked me, one of them giving me the code for a nearby safe, and ran for cover.

Then I went back to the unconscious guards, tossed them into the cell, and put the fuel tank back into the Wall of Light, then hacked the control device so that it reversed its allegiance. Let's see them try to get out of that one when they wake up.(Note: They do not wake up during the course of the mission)

Then, I continued on my mission, popping from rooftop to rooftop, knocking out one guard in the target's house, grabbing the target, stealing a bunch of his money-stuff, and exiting the mission.

Did you just one-shot nuke that guy from almost-full health? I have to have a perfect storm of everything being in my favor to consistently get a kill, health being equal.

Sigil of Malice + Shatter Orb + Thunderlord's Decree proc will kill anything short of an MR built tank. LeBlanc melts through solid HP.

That right there convinced me to try DOTA 2 or some other MOBA.
