    Ketar and I will be playing tonight, starting around 10:15pm Central, and I will have steam set to allow friends to watch. No discord, so if someone is watching I'll send them an invite to a group steam chat.

    That's a cool feature built in.

    Believe I will be playing my game in the 2nd cup tomorrow. Played a vampire vs ai match and I am scared my vamps are going to bloodlusts all game. I'm not exactly sure how you're supposed to play them and the ai hasn't given a real challenge.

    You can also stream from the steam client or website. You'll have to be signed in and friends with me on steam, and then go to my profile on the steam website or the client and select watch stream.

    Yeah but that makes us watch only what you do and in the BB client we can flip the view and inspect whatever we want. Also the steam client had weird latency issues /rant

    True, but if you cant watch any other way it's better than nothing.

    That was a brutal, lopsided game of Blood Bowl. You're patience must be off the charts for staying to the end of that one, Ketar.

    3 Badly Hurt, 2 with a loss of movement, and 1 death for the Bretonnians. My Yhetee was knocked out for a couple rounds. Norse succeeded in 67 blocks while Bretonnians succeeded in 26 blocks. Bretonnians possessed the ball for a solid 75% of the match, but 62% of the match they held the ball in their own side.

    Norse wins 2-0.

    What makes chaos dwarfs bad? I looked at one of the teams that was, and they looked strong like dwarfs but it seemed they had actual playmaking ability. At least they started with skills that made it seem that way.

    I had a high TV Value Chaos team on xbox I used to love to play with. They seemed like orcs but just better once you evolved them.

    Chaos Dwarfs aren't a bad team.

    But, if you choose to play with them, you are a bad person.

    Playing against Chaos teams is mainly about accepting 5+ casualties and losing the game 2-0.

    Their downside is that your opponent gets to punch you in the gut after every game. In tournaments they’re allowed to use an armoured gauntlet.

    ...because dragons are AWESOME! That's why.

    I know what you meant. Losing with a Chaos team, especially the dwarves, simply means that you lost a bunch of dice rolls in pretty specific ways. They have high strength and high armour. They are the ultimate definition of 'bashy' even when compared against standard dwarf teams. If you were to select to play with them, the most likely outcome is a victory for you. Generally a 2-0 final score because of the slow movement. You will end up with a bucket of SPP due to the various injuries and deaths you will likely cause against more fragile teams. Which, it turns out, is practically everybody else.

    Wins are not completely guaranteed. But, as I said, losing whilst playing as them basically means failed dice rolls or complete managerial incompetence. Games are slow and plodding. If they're the Chaos Dwarfs, then expect to see/use an all but unbreakable cage to march down the field.

    This is why people don't like playing against them. It is frustrating to run up against. The downside to using them is mostly about whether-or-not you feel bad for picking a steamroller to smash a child's sand castle. And the child along with it.

    The downside to Chaos Dwarves is they are slow, can’t pass the ball, and can’t deal with agile teams that refuse to play their reindeer games.

    Do what you need to do, and come back when you can. I'll see about a finding replacement.

    I played two tournaments with my Amazon's in an AI eternal league and just got.. bored. Amazon's are more or less the same.

    So I made an eternal team of the good guys - Human, Elf, Halfling, Dwarf, and Brettonians.

    Did some Dwarf Long beards, elfish receivers and Brettonians blitzers.

    I didn't want to be super min max so I have a human thrower and no big men.

    So, fourth round first game my Elfish receiver catches a beauty of a pass trips over his own feet on the roll to get into the endzone.

    And. He. Fucking. Died.

    I am in the business of saving lives.

    so I've been a bit distracted by work since my direct manager was on vacation for a bit. Is there a game that I should be setting up with anyone to continue a league?

    In the first league I believe we're still waiting on a game to be played and in the second one I'm not sure. My opponent is dropping so not sure the state of mTchups there

    Well if they are various long standing leagues on reddit you can join and play in but most of them are European so there will be a huge time zone issue potentially.

    My son wanted to watch me play a game last night, after not playing for about 6 months. Dwarfs(me) vs Skaven(ai). Double skulls, reroll, double skulls again. Ah that takes me back. I only need a few more trophies for the platinum. Getting one of my players to die and then be MVP is way to RNG for me to really go after so that will probably never happy. Also I forgot just how shit the interface and menus are. Hopefully cyanide can do a better job for 3.
