fuckit, I want a hyperspace tactics game. 4d baby, where units dont move on squares, but in fucking hypercubes.
The thing about any 3D turn based (and I assume grid based) game is that control is really awkward.

TF2 night was fun, we should do it again.

Fun to turn every corner and meet heavy weapons Req..

For all wondering, Parnage is the god of killing people right before he dies.

What I learned from this list is that if you suggest a game to someone you have to rave crazy about it or else they won't put it on their list. I guess I'm terrible at this.

I found Advance Wars 2 harder than the first... in that I never beat the last mission of the campaign in hard mode. Advance Wars is def. brutal at times though, in that you spend more time holding on against the odds, and only then you start couter-attacking, while AW2 generally lets you be more offensive with your initial units.
AW can still be a good choice if only to get more missions to play (and raise a brow at Andy going "Yay, war! We made a ton of friends, that was fun!" what about all the dead?! x) ).
Perma-death is part of the interest of Tactics Ogre I think (although it's a real bitch in LUCT, y u no want to live, recruitable NPC?), as for the block it's to incite you to actually hit people from the flank or rear, same with the counterattack: often your best bet when fighting a boss is to soften him with ranged weapons and magic, and maneuver so that when he gets near you hit him from behind and he can ony attack people from the front (preferably with a shield). Can't bumrush!

Last mission in AW2 in hard mode is really tough. Basically the army in the middle will never do anything. I think my main strat was using Grit for that and all he did was build artillery and use his advanced range to fend off everything while the other 2 would capture and take ground.

Yeah. I'm planning on remoting in periodically just to make sure nothing blows up during the day. But there was an email from my boss saying that his ABS got a lot of work in and he foresees many accidents today. And he drives a truck. Don't even want to know how my car would fair (and I'm not looking forward to having to move it so they can plow the complex parking lot)

If I am about 4500 MMR in Dota2 and I switched to LoL, what league do you guys think I could reach in about like two months?
|
Hard to tell, since LoL is less mechanically intensive than DotA but it still relies immensely on decision-making, experience and various game knowledge, stuff like that. Plus you'd have to level up an account before hoping into ranked games (it takes 2-4 weeks depending on xp boosts and daily amount of playing). .

No way to tell from here in the Off Topic thread.

Same thing happened to me except I was already at work when I checked my email. T_T

dunno anything about dota mmr, but you'll be about one tier below the league equivalent to whatever 4500 is.
but it really depends on how much effort you put into it.
