Probably one for every dozen or so peasents and half a dozen men at arms, iirc the knights were supposed to bring them along to the army like the rest of their 'equipment', although the plebs were more likely to be sent on garrison/patrol/scout/latrine digging duty so the proportion of knights on the field of battle would be a little higher.

>knights the backbone of the army
Let's analyze this using human anatomy and cultural understanding of idioms.

First of all, this would imply knights are the bravest, or at least braver than most, i.e. showing real backbone. It also has serious implications for army formations

>>48669826
>backbone
>n.
>3. The main support or major sustaining factor: the backbone of a thesis.

in the mean time I will post some cool location. the 16eme arrondisment become an island. from the step of the trocadero you can see the sunken eifel tower. on the north of the island, you have the arc de triumph. it's a very posh, rich and traditional part of Paris, so perhaps some kind of national cult could take root.

another island, from a (sligthy) more mixed part of paris. lot of famous concert hall and festive place, including la cigalle, le trianon and le moulin rouge. the local population would probably keep a particular taste for art and culture. also on this island the sacré coeur, wich would probably become the main church of paris as notre dame is under water.

For info on top tier decks and their lists, see pic related and see http://mtgtop8.com/

1. Go to http://mtgtop8.com/
2. Click "modern"
3. Click "control - other" and "combo - other" as mtgtop8 is inconsistent on how to sort mill decks
4. Look at well-performing mill decks and see how they differ from yours.
Generally, Mill is seen as a strictly worse Burn deck in that you're trying to burn 50 cards as opposed to 20 damage. Most mill decks mill aggressively rather than passively.

Right now there's two mill decks on mtgtop8:
http://mtgtop8.com/event?e=12644&d=273185&f=MO
And this:
http://mtgtop8.com/event?e=12843&d=274559&f=MO

Compare those lists with yours and see for yourself how their gameplan differs from yours. If you still want to play the controlling style, go ahead and test it.

>what is the purpose of that?

look at >>48668845

would you rather fight the big or small version?

>>48668841
Think you got it actually, OP. In case the pilot needs to bail behind enemy lines or potentially protection against infantry boarders. Alternately, one is used to interface with the other as something, likely a control system

>>48668835
Do you want a co-co-op or a 1vAll?
That's really the biggest question here.

>>48669152
Both interest both me and my company of friends with whom i'm gonna play. Main question i guess is - which of those games gives more for the buck.

Give this a shot. I believe the character in question is meant to be a devil-on-your-shoulder, if not Satan himself whispering in your ear. Take inspiration from that however you will.

It really, really isn't. Exalted 3e crafting is really fucking boring.

>>48667829
It's more in depth and epic than any other game's.

Are you kidding me? Ex3 is marginally better than Ex2, but half the crafting rules are arbitrary restrictions that only exist so that charms can reduce or eliminate those same restrictions, and one section of the Solar craft charms entirely obsoletes another section.

That don't make them interesting nor beloved. Quite the opposite.

Given that dwarves and halflings are like little humans, I would contest this.

More importantly, what of skin color?

>>48667268

Alternate as in?

And it depends on the setting, if any.

>>48667268
>Is this a fair decree?
Why would you even consider considering this?
It's an arbitrary limitation to character creation and serves no purpose to your game.

Start with a higher level group and just don't give exp.

>>48667253
You don't need any, really. If you were the king of balancing, such a game would be perfect, in a sense. They could learn more skills, slowly, like in real life, but not gain more HP, etc.

The real problem is your playgroup. Most people just expect progression as part of their game. Some people will refuse to play it.

Tracey Hickman (of Dragonlance fame) wrote a game this way, called XDM (X-treme Dungeon Mastery). Unfortunately, it's full of fucking retarded jokes and cringey examples. If you manage to get past the thick veneer of shit he smeared through the book, the mechanics and philosophy behind it are pretty interesting.

Then you're not playing a RPG, otherwise known as "numbers go up: the game."

You're playing what D&D was originally envisioned as, minis with fixed stats using their limited resources to win fights. No roleplaying, no character creation, just wizard chess.

Things that an incredibly advanced group might do for shits and giggles.

Every theoretical physicist of note wakes up to a sheet of paper with proofs that their favored theory of the universe is incorrect, but these proofs don't give any indication of what a more correct theory might be.

Pizza deliveries somehow manage to be always exactly 31 minutes late, even for people who live next to the delivery place.

howdi and welcome to the hobby

I'm not personally a player of WH40K but it's a good introduction, all in one place and there's plenty of support. There plenty of grumbles too but hey, it's a games, play and enjoy :-)

I'd get the starter set - it's all in one box, you get two sides ( so you can practice the rules and have fun at the same time ) and you can always swap you B team parts with people who've bought the same box but dont what the A team you're playing.

In general mate, have fun, enjoy it, dont take it ( or the people who shitpost ) too seriously.

see you late, be nice, have fun :-)

>>48665754
Remember that this game is all memes and your wallet can't handle it.

>>48665754
Tau and Space Wolves starter sets are good, but the Space Marine one doesn't really have the best synergy. All of them will save you money versus buying the kits by themselves however.

As for what you want to play I suggest either pirating the factions' codices or reading up on a wiki like Lexicanum about them. Keep in mind that not only are you going to play with these guys but you're going to spend a lot of time assembling, modelling, and painting them too. And next edition they might end up in rolling-dumpster-fire tier like Orks. Pick something you love or else you'll get burned or burned out, I guarantee it.

Also >>48669349 isn't wrong. This hobby isn't expensive compared to real hobbies like owning a boat or golfing regularly, but compared to other /tg/ things like playing D&D or even MTG it's harder on the wallet.
