Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
I'm just a bit sad we can't go for all 5 (even just all Selene 5. Though for those we only need Winter, so maybe...) :( -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
I really hope we can buy this extra turn or two... We're so close to getting a bunch of Name friendships and Sacraments! Even Neighnia is not impossible! Each extra turn we get is AT LEAST one more sacrament. And we should keep in mind how they have not only mechanical but narrative value too... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
It seems like the 3 possible results are basically 1) problem delayed to next turn 2) problem solved (but there's still the lantern countdown) 3) problem escalated Not counting Selene's intervention though... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
eh, TECHNICALLY there's still some leftover room, book searches are not COMPLETELY useless. But expeditions are FAR more efficient in terms of bits AND actions required for anything above lvl 3, and considering we could only use heart lvl 3 books, and then only 4 and above... the cost of a... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
true on the first two (though we DID kind of mind control Shining into confessing, which, well, not cool), but Filthy and Spoiled is still to be seen -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
that's a bit sad. The price of progress. or better wait, don't tell him! and Celestia is on fire, yes, we know... a bit careless of Velvet. ok, LITERALLY on fire... but she got better! Turns out, Death is a good dance partner -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Not sure I'd read it like that. interruptions read to me as "try to stop the fight". if you're JOINING the fight... well, apparently the Lionsmith has Smiles be there basically to be killed first to give him an opening towards the Colonel, so at least one half of the corrivalry is willing to... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
mechanically speaking, dancing with death was never meant to have you lose all actions though. So that's more narrative flavouring than a mechanical advantage. -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
This has become ridiculous. Let's just ask. @OurLadyOfWires is the tower option meant to be farmable for SH scraps? yes or no, please. -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
5 velvet APs is better than 4, that's a near certain thing. Also the "renewable" source of moth scraps is just a guess, at least from how I understand it. I'm not convinced. Same for the SH one with the tower, really, the way I read it was that there's a simple SH scrap there that for some... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
admittedly we might not be able to anymore in the near future :V -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Or, potentially, 4 cadence if we want to use one Velvet AP for something else, but that's unlikely -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
well, of course. As I said it's a best case scenario. -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
it's the best case scenario. Turn 23: Find out where she is turn 24: acquire her turn 25: rush friendship and/or winter sacrament. -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Are those the only actual differences? Because yeah, if we're searching for another complicated expedition then yeah, I'd rather try our hand with Neighnia. There's a low but non-zero chance we could dedicate basically all of turn 25 to friendship and winter sacrament with her IF we get her AND... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
on a quick look through the plans [X] Plan: A Song of Bright Snow In the lucky case we get an extra turn, we could acquire Neighnia turn 24, and befriend her and/or get the Winter Sacrament on turn 25... It's a bit optimistic, but it would be a massive coup... I'm uninterested in... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
not sure if they're renewable. my impression was that we get it just once, but as the first time we were at cap we somehow... left it there for later. Completely different things in my opinion. I just don't find Moth Mastery really viable at this point. -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
keep in mind that a pause in the combat would likely remove the bonus. So, if someone sacrifices himself (or IS sacrificed by others running away) to buy time, the next battle likely resets the bonus. In any case, I think the narrative aspect of the sacraments counts as much as the mechanical... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
good point about the edge sacraments. as for Cadance, 4 AP is my personal minimum, and I find it acceptable. Keep in mind, we just... don't really know how much it helps, but historically speaking most good things we did have taken 3 or 4 APs at most. Sacraments tend to be 3 dedicated APs... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Honestly I'm not that interested in Windy at this point. Neighnia I could be convinced on, but that would probably require a scrying ritual... To be fair, they DO have lots of pony prisoners they're probably planning to bring with them as food, so there's an argument we don't want to let them...
