Top down is concept first, mechanics designed to match concept right?

I'm not a MtG player, but gimme a couple examples of bad top down Homelands cards, I understand the game and have played casually enough to understand if you show me.

>>52981003
That's just buzzwords. The real reason is Homelands was a weak set.

Yeah, it means that they sat down and constructed a story, then came up with ideas for cards which would be "flavorful" and then tacked on game mechanics onto those cards. That approach need not be bad by necessity, it's just that with Homelands the people making most of the cards (some were made by the playtest group that would later fill out R&D) didn't know enough about the mechanics aspect to make them work.

To grab just one example, they started out with the idea of a giant oyster which a creature would get trapped in and slowly suffocate under water. All well and good, but the way the card is costed combined with its 0/3 stats and the agonizingly slow way it kills makes it a mechanically terrible card. And this sort of thing is all over Homelands.

Allright n'wahs.

What world building for citties would you do?

Anyone got some pre-made NPC characters and backgrounds to share?

I've been trying to re-make the Settlements in Skyrim on a propper scale lately.

I was kinda sad that Whiterun in the Vidya for example didn't have any slumms or similar shit.

Low class inns.

Is it true Barenziah's the biggest whore in all of Tamriel? I hear she has consort with Khajiit in all manner of shapes and forms.

You're about a month too late for any feedback. It all boils down to the fact that no sealed product is worth more than what you pay for it.

Amazing face cards
Cards not really valuable
They finally included thick cardboard deckboxes that can hold sleeved cards
Unbalanced

If discounted, it is potentially a good buy for dicking around in kitchen table or to get Jhoira for EDH

>>52980523
The might deck can pull some fast wins if you get some decent draws, but has the chance to stall if your draws are shit. The mind deck has some fun interactions with storm and suspend working together but can have a hard time actually finding pieces when you need them, and can't really defend itself.

>>52980117
When a monster attacks a face-down monster, the difference between attack and defense is inflicted as lifepoint damage. Also, certain monsters have a trample effect where they can inflict lifepoint damage when they attack a defense-position monster.

>>52980135
When I played that only happened with a small number of cards. Effect monsters whose gimmick was they did that.

Are you saying they changed it to just a normal rule of the game now?

>>52980154
That's just shit he be spewing lad. It's not real.

And it'd actually be pretty bad because it'd take away one of the few of protecting your lifepoints if you're on the receiving end of a shit stomp.

Anyway if we're going to have a MTG vs Yugioh thread why not actually try to figure out a way to have a the two games actually play against each other?

Mongols wouldn't give a shit about heavy cavalry either way. They just avoid the heavy cav, scare the shit out of the infantry, sack the town and move on before the knights have even got their armor on.

Heavy cavalry are no threat to light horsemen, and its pointless trying to fight them with light horsemen. You just ignore them, or bait them out of the way - use a small unit in front of the heavy cavalry as bait, get them to charge and then kite them out away from the areas you need to attack.

Mongols probably avoided pitched battles anyway and just raid shit and move on before any army could catch up

>>52979416
>Strategy video games are real life

Also mongols took entire cities in the middle east and europe they had no issue at all with large pitched battles.

>>52979076
They'd just shoot the horses bro. The 1500s knights didn't go into battle with full cataphracts armored horses.

There is no model that I know off, but it would be that difficult to make one of your own. A simple headswap from the Company Command box would probably see you off alright. Paint their hair to be greying and you're good.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Welcome to the War, guardsman.

Wow, thanks. Can you make any suggestions for other units I might want? I know Nork and Greiss are going to be pretty costly, but I'm hoping to center the army around a few Bullgryns (for heavies.) I've never really built an army or anything, so it's all new to me, and without an actual physical codex to read, a little hard to figure what's worth buying and what won't work.

Go spaghetti western and rename settlements after concepts that are relevant to the players. For example, in that one Sharon Stone movie, the town is called Redemption.

Could always name it Amerigo, since, apparently, Amerigo was way less of a shitty fuck than Columbus.

I wanted to like Orcs and Men but the gameplay at the start is just so awkward.

Ah well. At least it gave us Styx. Shame the orcs didn't show up in later titles though

You tried OP, it's okay.
You're forgiven.

Naomi the Drunken Master Tanuki.

She was going to be hilarious. Using a custom Tanuki race with the shapechanging powers, magic sake, and ability to detect alcohol (poison). I was going to bully the team's catgirl ranger and kobold trapper.

Does anyone have a link to that pathfinder to starfinder conversion game? I can't find it on the LFG
