Because it's a dumb concept in Star Wars.

Star Wars is about the battle between good and evil. It's a swashbuckling fantasy series first and foremost, exploration of gradient morality is best left to genres that aren't for children and about laser swords and space wizards.

>>51200425
My only hope is that thrawn survives this season after fucking wreaking everyone just so we have a possibility for a spin off movie

>>51200460
I think part of the reason why people really liked KotOR 2 was because it did do the "exploration of gradient morality" and it did it well.

Somewhere on the internet there is a stand generator that uses song names to generate stands and powers for them

>Does your setting have any global cities? If so, what are their demographics? Explain the history behind these statistics.
Yes, Fonteford. It becames Kingsford after the Empire declared it the capital where the elected Prince MUST reign. It allowed for a central bureaucracy to form and remain rather than move every few decades. The city has around 450,000 people in it and is the largest on the continent. The large underground aquifer nearby provides a good deal of fresh water, while nearby cities and hamlets base their entire economy on feeding the city.

>What places do towns, cities, villages and any other centralized settlements have in the political structures of your setting's states?
The capital is the center of the world. Everything flows to it at one point. Towns near the hills and mountains are tasked with drawing out minerals, ore, raw stone, or find artifacts that will be milled further down river in the plains. The coast towns bring in fish and trade while also exporting refined goods to other places. Only the city of Kingsford is a city that does it all.

>How big of a phenomenon is urban sprawl in your setting?
Almost non-existent. A large plague devestated populations for a while, and then a few waves of goblins came in ransacking whatever they could find. This encouraged tightly packed, defensible population centers. Forts survived more than villages.

>Do your cities have any "green spaces" (parks, culturally/religiously special naturals areas, etc.)?
Kingsford does not. It was not planned out or religiously required. The green spaces come from traveling out of the city into the neighboring burghs and towns to see the farms and pastures.

Currently working on a project I call Ghostworld. Looks like some interesting questions OP.

>Does your setting have any global cities? If so, what are their demographics? Explain the history behind these statistics.
Current one I'm working on is the city of Clayton. Known for both its deep red river clay (it's namesake) and the fact that it's one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements in the world. Clayton is a huge center for industry nowadays, leading to the odd sight of smoke stacks tearing up millenia old archways and domes. Shit that Elves put up while humans were still hunter-gatherers covered in a solid foot of soot and grime. Being a center of industry and mad science, Clayton also features more Homunculi than anywhere else.

>What places do towns, cities, villages and any other centralized settlements have in the political structures of your setting's states?
Most smaller villages and towns are starting to vanish. Urban sprawl is overtaking a lot of the ones nearest the big cities, and the ones further out are being devoured by undead, monsters, eldritch horrors, and general irrelevancy.

>How big of a phenomenon is urban sprawl in your setting?
It's pretty recent, but it's become a big deal in the last century.

>Do your cities have any "green spaces" (parks, culturally/religiously special naturals areas, etc.)?
The city of Granporte, which is a mashup of Washington DC, New Orleans, and Karnak. While it's covered in painted marble and limestone monument-tombs and palaces, it also boasts some impressive parks. The Grieving Gardens specialize in summoning up shades of the recently dead so families can seek closure. The Elysian Field features a hall of dead heroes to speak with, for those of a historical bent. And the Slumbering Grove is perfect for anyone looking to die and stay dead (in a world where death is hard to finally achieve, that says something).

so, stuff we know on V4:

SHOOTING:
- Shootingh - either MG or Main Gun
- Shooting at Aircraft - similar to TY
- 8inches for AA safe zone
- Like in TY - LoS to Aircraft can never be blocked
- terrain like in TY - either tall or short
- 2 inches from the edge of terrain you can see normaly otuside but you are concealed
- teams in upper flors of buildings see teams outside in buildings not ceonceald, even in short terrain
- No HE is now +1 to shoot
- After shooting on Aircraft in enemy turn, apart from no def fire and shooting and assaulting turn after, you may NOT be GtG until the end of enemy's next turn
- When you rotate to hit, you can rotate the turret OR rotate the whole tank 90degrees
- shooting through smoke is only +1 to hit
- your hits must be assigned to the same type of teams and 6 inches within hit team
- MAn packed gun teams and light/medium guns are now 3+ save
- Heavy and Immobile guns are 4+ save
- Aircraft has it's own save now - 3+ usual and shooter needs to pass FP test to kill it
- passengers in destroyed transport retain their usuall save - 3+ or 4+
- Everybody get mission tactics
- Warrior save is now 3+
- Unit with 12 or more teams at the start of the shooting step need 8 hits to be pinned
- Commander morale reroll to every unit that is within 6 inches of commander and has LoS
- Flamethrowers do not run out of ammo!
- Breakthrough gun is now reroll to save, not instant fail

and the rest we know....

- Artillery - you have only 1 Observer, other units may spot depending on army
- May not fire artillery bombardment if you attempted to dig-in!
- aiming point may be on the ground, anywhere observing team can see, no need to put it on
team
- No more double width template
- You only have three range in attempts for one observer team, if you range in on first, you may give the rest of range in attempts to another artillery, with penalites for second and
third range in
- you hit on enemy rating
- 5 or more guns get reroll to hit
- Staff teams are gone, so everybody have all guns repeat!
- Change to Artillery FP and AT rating depending on whetever you hit infantry/gun team or tank:
on Infantry (older FP/newer FP) - 1/1;2/2;3/3;4/3;5/4;6/4
on tanks (older AT/newer AT) - 6/3;5/3;4/3;3/2;2/1;1/0
- Repeat bombardment may be with different spotting team
- Infantry and gun teams need to reroll saves when under Repeat bombardment!
- 1 Smoke bombardment per game per artilery unit
- LoS through Smoke is blocked unless you are within 6 inches, otherwise +1 to hit

ASSAULT
- More or less like Team Yankee
- Teams on small bases got +1 to hit in assault
- Infantry choose how to hit tank - top armour against TA2/FP1+ or side armour against any AT weapon you have.
- Shurzen is now Side armour 5 against At weapon with 5 or 6 FP

Will IS-2s FINALLY BE WORTH IT?

Just did a Tau v. SM game with 2 different lists. Won 1 Lost 1. 11 Drones and 5 Strikers went fairly well. 5 PF, 5 Strikers, and Stealth team went horribly awry.

Tell me about your campaigns, /tg/. What forces were involved? What were their goals? Was there a storyline or did you just want to roll some dice?

How do you use 11/11/10 2HP killakan without it exploding? Is it a beefy gun platform and thats it? WS2 melee is like a mockery.

I tried playing it and it just explodes to a single plasma marine that came out from outflanking. Gay. After seeing admech walker's +3` movement I'm officially jelly.

Maybe they would, if you stopped obsessing over Infinite Worlds, lol

Bringing back a question from last thread:

>How well could this system run a science fiction military game where a great deal of vehicles--including aerospace fighters--are used? What oddities and intricacies/oddities would I need to look for?

>>51123593 was rather helpful, but I'm wondering whether or not there's any other advice in terms of rules quirks I need to beware of.
