On Thread Etiquette:

I'm not going to weigh in on the logic of either side's arguments, but I will ask that everyone read over what they write and really consider if the words they used are polite and won't be inflammatory intentionally or not. You cant account for people's tolerances perfectly but at least try to say your piece without saying things that can be easily construed as overly dismissive of the other side of the argument, thank you.

Please endeavour to be cordial. :^)

Trying to come up with a good combo for anti-daemon armor, but I can't think of an appropriate third rune.

Master Rune of Gromril + Rune of Spelleating + ???

Any ideas?
 
Can anyone tell me How effective is a Flame thrower in Defensive battle and offensive battles and how effective are they as a Defensive Emplacement weapon in the wall and in a hall way against a demon/Skaven army?.
 
What are the requirements to build the Flame throwers?, and can they be build fast enough for the Chaos Incursion that is going to happen some time soon?.
Technically they already exist as alchemical flame throwers. You'd have to ask soulcake if our exterior defenses have any, because our interior ones do.

In truth what was made to fight the Skaven was the equivalent of a flaming hand-cannon shotgun you might say.


They try and assault your hold regularly enough that I wanna say yes. Cuz again, Greedy Trolls are still only native to the north rn.
Bastards breed a fair bit apparently.

Do we know if their blood and hearts have been tested as ingredients? If they're superior as far as producing the Master Rune of Valaya or the Master Rune of Animation/Motion...

Goddamn it. We talked about this. We already have limited actions for research until the daemon incursions start and we already spent fuck ton of actions on defenses even though we are supposed to be playing a runelord and people only did it due to heavy amounts of meta gaming. Let's not spend any more actions on stuff like that.
 
Master Rune of Gromril, Rune of Daemon-Slaying, Rune of Impact. Rune of Daemon-Slaying is probably possible when you add Impact to it.
Well even aside from that, we can move lesser runes between categories pretty liberally from what Soulcake has said, see putting Impact on Trollslayer.
 
Seems like a nice endeavor.

I do hope we work on some combos that don't rely on a Master Rune however.
A pretty straightforward possible one I've been thinking about is a weapon combo using the Rune of Parrying (Makes you super good at it), Rune of Speed (makes you super fast), and the Rune of Striking (the weapon moves/guides you to strike the weak points).

The kind of weapon to make a peasant into a warrior of superlative skill so long as they hold it.
 
Why's that? Given the power of the Master Runes, it stands to reason, especially given we know a lot of them, to use them for combos.
If we were making a one of a kind masterwork yes. Master Runes take a lot more resources and time to make EACH.

Combos without Master Runes have much lower thresholds, we can apply them on a mass defense or armoring project, we could teach them to apprentices with less reluctance on Snorri's part.
Snorri sure as hell isn't going to teach a Master Rune to anyone, much less a Master Rune combo.
He COULD however, freely teach any lesser rune combos.

A Master Rune combo on a super ballista is a weapon the hold only has one of.
A regular rune combo could be repeated to turn the entire outer walls into a wall of fire

Going to once again remind people the Snorri is not the only runesmith around to put runes on stuff.
 
Something that only really just clicked for me. We're in a time period where there's really no human gods right now right? Would it be weird to get humans to venerate a dwarf as Santa in a way that's similar to godhood?

If we interact with humans in northern Kislev and such, the nearest likely population, I figure something like that is semi-inevitable. I'm not really worried about it though since there's not a lot of point to stopping it, and it won't be for like a thousand years or so probably.
 
Stew stock? (semi-serious)
If we'd gotten these ourselves, I'd actually consider something like that if we'd accumulated this much of a surplus. But Otrek's been gathering and giving us these to do good work with.
"Caught sight of some more griffons. Dead when I found em, it looks like the six of em wounded each other in a brawl before getting killed by a Greedy Troll and its band that I ran down right before they got to eat. Doing the same thing as last time, but you'd probably do more with these than other Runesmiths could I reckon," he explains.
I don't want to let him down by not using them for productive Runework.

Though the frequency of Griffons appearing is interesting (and has been mentioned IC.) They're ferocious predators, but not Chaotic, and according to the Elves, not particularly given to cruelty if you haven't personally wronged them or those they see as kin.

...Hrm. Actually, that makes me wonder if more options using Griffon parts will unlock if/when we encounter the Elves.

Oh look, we've got nine brains now.

They got any other uses besides the Master Rune of Currents? I feel a bit bad not using these for something.

If our research backlog wasn't as big as it was we could study them or something. Oh wait, we can do that because the brains are probably chucked in barrels with preservation runes on them. They can stay sitting there for centuries and it'd be fine.

Sure, we could probably hand some off to Snorri's brother who could pass them around for some political clout with some Runesmiths that are after some in the southern holds I suppose?

Nothing says we personally need to use them. We could act as a middleman, even if I'd feel kind of bad giving away/selling a gift like that.
