    I was holding off posting in this thread until I had a chance to sit down and try running deck simulations.

    Disclaimer:  This was a "I haven't tried Python before" exercise.

    With the basic test unit of "Perform Lucid Dreams on a randomly ordered full deck of cards X times, and then calculate the average value of the deck and the discard pile", and then repeat 100,000 times to calculate best, worst, and average results for the batch...

    These are quick and dirty results, but the averages seem to be pretty stable...

    For X=8:

    Best result: 7.956521739130435
    Worst result: 6.956521739130435
    Average 7.551597391304261

    For X=12:
    Best result: 8.380952380952381
    Worst result: 7.238095238095238
    Average 7.9054040476186564
     

    For X=16:
    Best result: 8.894736842105264
    Worst result: 7.605263157894737
    Average 8.333307894736052

    For X=20:

    Best result: 9.352941176470589
    Worst result: 7.852941176470588
    Average 8.73068382352992
     

    Bigger disclaimer:  52 factorial is a big number compared to 100,000 trials.  And the difference between best result and worst result is probably the best indicator of how jarring the results are going to be at that many iterations.

     

    I like these numbers 😁😁, only with the lucid dreams you show that you are improving your average resulta, which it's important because you are having and edge in each duel. Moreover, if you use the stitched ability hoy are improving your deck so far with high cards. At least for me maths don't lie. Could you build other iterative proccess where you are improving your deck?

  2. I have played some games against a similar crew, hinamatsu instead of serena bowman. Lucid dreams and fiendish gamble (stitched togethers) combination makes a snowball effect on the dreamer's player deck, wich at the start of turn 3 has mostly moderate and severes cards on the control hand and the deck.

     

    As @BimVooDoo says, the stitched together using gamble your life with fiendish gamble makes their attack unnstopable, avoiding any deffensive ability. Moreover, it's not posibble use gamble your Life against the dreamer player because is enemy only, which makes the obey action useless on This models.

    This points should be reviewed. Perhaps, the tactical action shoule be an attack action and lucid dreams should be on few models.

    Bokor I find works well in Kin.

    My go to Kin list has been

    Ophelia + 2SS
    3 Young 
    Francois
    Sammy
    Rami
    Merris
    Raphael
    LaCroix Raider
    Bokor

     

    Usually Raider/Raph are optional being changed with Burt, Gracie or similar models 
     

    I think that bokor will be useful in some different list, they are which bring to your lists crear options and alternatives as healing, draw cards and obey

    I personaly know 2 friends that are prepared to buy such a list (with more than enough of reserve models) only to win every game. 

    I assure you. Your opponent scores something first and maybe second turn. But then they will be overwhelmed and all objectives will be claimed by hordes player. 

    In my opinion, it should be nerfed before its to late. 

    Some people will buy 30 Eels and spoil the fun of playing the game. Everyone will complain how IMBA it is. Then it will be nerfed and people will be left with hundreds of $ worth of worthless models. IMHO not a good company policy.

    Now I understand the Guy Who has bought oromatangui and 3 devouring eels

    @subgenius13 and are already plotting demo nights at our LGS in Toledo, since a bunch of people were interested in the game but didn't buy in early. We will drag our store owner tooth and nail into stocking this awesome game!

    Woow there are more spanish players. You are invited to play in Madrid or we could go to play in Toledo.

    Whats your thoughts on Old Major in a Mah crew? Im thinking with saddle he can move the slower elements of the crew. The rest of the list is Mah and Little lass, Trixie 1 bushwacker, luck effigy, slop hauler and 2 survivors.

    A Guy in my community play this list succesfully.

    Mah

    Manifest Destiny

    Out of Blood

    Malifaux Child (to copy Mah Scream)

    Old Major

    Saddle

    Hog whisperer

    2x swine cursed

    Slop hauler 

    Trixiebelle

    6-7ss caché (I don't remember It now).

    The idea is that you are hitting on turn 1 in the other side of the table with Mah and a reactivated Swine cursed with positive flips.

    First of all sorry for my english and possible game mistakes, I didn't take notes in the tournament and I can do mistakes here.

    This will be a different Tournament report, I will tell you my impressions and my game style, that report will be of the valuable actions of every turn, and I will save my oponent crews in case they do not want to teach them, I will not post my crew or his crew, but if you read you cant take notions of it.

    G1        Darky              NB                 Zoraida
    G2        Jon Ortiz        TT                 McCabe
    G3        Rober              Resus           Yanlo
    G4        Linar                Guild             Hoffman
    G5        Antonio           Arcanist       Ramos

        G1    Zoraida's crew with 2 Will o'the Wisp to summon Grupps from the 2Ap of the Mother and Dolls from Zoraida, for me his biggest error was expose Zoraida to Snow charge on T2, with my :+flip Gamin I can kills Zoraida really fast.
        
    T1        With one push from Angelica Banasuva charge to Nekima
    T2        He expose Zoraida to do an Obey on Snow and Snow charge her
    T3        Snow kills Zoraida, Sandeep kills enemy sucker one Will o'the Wisp
    T4        Nekima kills my sucker and later I kill Nekima with my Vendetta Oxfordian, Sandeep kills the Spawn Mother
    T5        With only a few models in enemy crew I take the rest of the points

    One great game and great opponent, his crew seems powerful with the Will o'the Wisp taking 2Ap's actions

    I was took Vendetta on Nekima, Sucker on one Oxfordian and the central mission was Ply

    Result: 9 - 5 Win.

        G2    McCabe's crew with a Emissary, Jorogumo and a lot of minions to give upgrades, the deployment kills my enemy, he put his 50mm miniatures cover the rest of the crew and the escenography doesn't let him pass
        
    T1          Banasuva charge to McCabe and Snow discard IE to charge Yin with the :+flip Gamin and engaged with Luna and Emissary
    T2          Snow kills Yin and Luna, my crew takes positions and do some dmg on his crew
    T3          Sandeep kills Jorogumo, the Oxfordians kills Emissary, a Monk and dismount McCabe
    T4/T5    McCabe move, reactivate and move to take points, I kill the rest of the enemy crew except Sun Quiang for Take the Prisoner

    My opponet loss for the table elements, he play good the miniatures but he can't pass and with my placements, pushes and teleports I doesn't have problems with that

    I was took Hold up, Take the Prisoner and the central mission was Symbols, I kills so fast his crew that I can't take points of Hold up, mistake here

    Result: 7 - 2 Win.

        G3    Yanlo with full spirits and Sybelle + 2 Rottens, so much movement tricks  in this crew
        
    T1    One Oxfordian take Vendetta from Datsue Ba, Banasuva kills 2 Seishins to cut his activation control, a Rotten takes Vendetta from one Oxfordian 
    T2    He expose Yanlo and Snow charges to him, mi crew takes positions and do some dmg
    T3    Sandeep + one Oxfordian kills Yanlo, Snow charge and engage with 3 miniatures, the rest of the Oxfordians push the wagon and do some dmg
    T4    I kill his sucker with fire that was Datsue Ba, he doesn't take points and I take 2 points from Vendetta, I kill all his crew except Sybelle, Chiaqui and 1 Rotten that can't let me move his wagon to denny his points
    T5    Continue the fight to move his wagon nothing inportant happens I can't kill Sybelle or Chiaqui, and can't move the wagon

    My opponent plays pretty well but his crew have a lot of incorporeal models and my crew have full Ca attacks, that lets me kill him really fast

    I was took Vendetta, Hold up and the central mission was Symbols

    Result: 10 - 5 Win.

    In that point I was happy but knew the last day would be hard, what I didn't know was how fucking lucky that I was going to be...

        G4    This man plays milimetrical, is a really good player, and his crew, for me, is the best in Malifaux: Hoffman + Ryle
        
    T1    He do his chain on Ryle with triple Obey and kills 2 of my Oxfordians, Sandeep push him closer and summon Banasuva and :+flip Gamin, Banasuva hit him, and later Snow walk and hit him with the first big luck of the day RJ on dmg, Ryle ends to 1Wd
    T2    Snow discard IE and triple hit with :+flip and... can't do 1 dmg on Ryle he has Df8 because of 'El Mayor', Hoffman Obey Ryle and get him out of the combat, Banasuva charges to Hoffman
    T3    My Sandeep kills Hoffman with a moderate on :-flip:-flip, Ryle can't come closer because I can summon a Metal Gamin or teleport an Oxfordian to kill him, we fight for the points, place markers and move carefully
    T4    Snow kills Ryle and engage with Francisco
    T5    Angelica push my miniatures to get points and Sandeep kill the Guild Investigator that deny my markers

    For me the most dificult game in the tournament, we move very carefully but when I start with 2 Oxfodian killed that was terrible, for my luck I have the RJ on dmg from Snow and that was a reliable point, in all moment I try to get my important miniatures like Sandeep or Snow in the range of Medical

    I was took Eliminate the Leadership and Search the Ruins central mission was Public Executions

    Result: 10 - 1 Win.

        G5    I know he is a great player and in fact are the only with me that goes 4 - 0 so that will be hard again, he plays the Vox Ramos list, that push you with Mauler, Cojo and Captain and does 12 - 16 dmg out cards, bad news
        
    T1    Like in the G4 we move carefully, he put Strike markers with Ramos and the Child, I push an Oxfordian out of range of the markers, and summon Banasuva and :+flip Gamin ready to charge the Mauler, at this point starts the fight, he uses the Captain to push my Banasuva back, but I move one Oxfordian and shot my own Banasuva to push him again in charge range, Banasuva charge to the Mauler with +1dmg and :+flip, doing 9dmg + burning on the bear, and with melee expert atack hit the captain with a RJ on dmg, he prevents but gets BJ and die... this is the second point of luck and the biggest, Mauler dies at the end of the turn for burning
    T2    At this point he lost so many pushes, and the Strike markers doesn't are effective, I have the table control. Snow discard IE and charge to Union Steamfitter to try kill him and stop the scrap generation from Ramos, Snow can't do it and Sandeep finish the job
    T3/T4    I kill all his miniatures except Ramos, that can't move from his deployment zone, we decide stop play in this point

    I really have a lot of luck in the fist charge, because my Banasuva can't cheat the fate, the Mauler have a low defense but the Captain ... and he has bad luck on the prevention.

    Opponent crew and game style was good and hard but sometimes the deck want to speak.

    I was took Undercover and Guarded Treasure, central mission was Ours

    Result: 8 - 2 Win.

    I play a hight movilithy crew, pushes, teleports, placements and more pushes, with two/three heavy hitters and two supports, all the games have the Medical near to my key miniatures like Sandeep, Snow or Oxfordians

    My priority was engaged or kill his valuable miniatures with Banasuva/Snow and take position with my Oxfordians all the time that I hit I do with :+flip thx to the Gamin

    Try to not waste cards on hurt, select the right moment and waste cards on kill, a miniature do the same job on 1Wd or 10Wd

    Hope you enjoyed this report and thanks for reading

    Congratulations Fik and great report. Your key this time was be drinking water the previous night instead of tequila shots. xD

    Here in Italy nothing in mail or spam neither? why so much time to have a mail and a Link...... is there some difference between USA backer from European One?

    in any case we are waiting ......

     

    The difference is between KS and backerkit. Some Spanish people who joined the KS have received the e-mail.

    I felt the same way - Ended up giving each 2nd sculpture of a piglet, a small sign that indicating what number it was. Ended up working out but was a bit of a hassle.

    I’d personally like to see a new version of Som’er. From reading the fluff of Malifaux, he always seemed like an overweight, arrogant and drunk Gremlin who’d be shaped like an old pear. I always imagined him standing much like his vintage-shape, but with a bigger belly and fatter chin. Similar to the Goblin King in Lord of the Rings.

    I wrote the name of different Spanish politicians on the base to know who is who. Another guy on AWP wrote his ex-girlfriend names xD. But I agree with you, some new piglets sculpts could be good.

  10. I hope a more profitable gremraida box, at least more focus with the bayou. Sammy, BBB, gautreaux bokor and all those kind of models could be nice as some kind of witcher keyword. New swamp models would be great.

    I would absolutely encourage as many Gremlin players as possible to sign up for the M3E Beta. We can totally use your feedback in helping to ensure that the Bayou models on on par with the models in the other factions. :)

    All my masters are ready and painted for It. Should I ensamble and paint my emmisary?? 😄😄 A lot of Hype with the new edition.

    This guy --> 

    ...encapsulates my response. He thought he was talking about football/soccer but actually predicting my response about this announcement. M2E is complex and I love it. Best. Game. EVER! M3E hopefully won't dumb down a legendary game. Count me in regardless. As has been said earlier in this thread, we can choose which edition to play casually.

    Lilith will return. It is inevitable. Collodi (my first Neverborn master) is only missing, he'll turn up, maybe in book 2 or 3 of M3E. Lynch, the slippery, treacherous bastard, has escaped our clutches for the time being, but Huggy has plans. Souls are worth more than drugs/casino income after all.

    I have faith, Wyrd. Faith. Don't do an England on me and ultimately lose this one.

    I would say "Let's face the music, and dance", but with Collodi missing, I'll have to wait and see about that music...

    Colour me cautiously optimistic for the time being. Which, if you're wondering what colour optimistic is, is purple of course.

    Hey dude you don't be worried. Collodi is not missing, he is on tour with Metallica.

    He'll be back. 😁😁

    I have one sad box for useless models.
    There are Lenny, Glutony and wild boars (i dont have granny Z).

    So i dont know why are they trying to sell to us alt sculpt of one of the saddest panda of the faction.
    Dont know who will buy it for GAMES (not hobby purposes) at this amazing state.
     

    You forgot the rooster riders 😑. A box of three useless models now...

  14. It was a really interesting podcast. I hace missed the swine-cursed on the list. Mi6 reckless, more movility with their push and they ignore armor. I'm now in Deep with Mah using some different lists. Have you think about to use the Malifaux Child? He can generate more push. I love the little Lash miniature but she is tío expensive.

    Very true, if we manage to get them all up there maybe making that one a little more formatted would be good but for now it’s great

    Zipp tatica is ok, but the formar should be change or compilated. There is too much information along the post.

    I guess it depends on the meta... but I have great results with Ulix as he is right now.

     

    and more on Topic: I have great results with Wild Boars as they are now.

    I use them as early-aggression Distraction-Desasterpieces  who can contest a flank or even snipe out important enemy models early in the game. Like pesky snipers or that one time where I killed Hannah on turn one.

    Ulix is a pretty good master and it's great play with him, it's more about have different options than he is not ok.

    Ulix haven't has any new theme models since wave 2. In wave 3 was the porkchop that it's not relate with him, but ok you can use yo summon with It. Wave 4 swine-cursed that they are Wong theme and Wave 5, flying piglets... Those were the pigs of other waves but no one focus on Ulix theme.

    I'm hoping some day Ulix can become more summone-styled like other summoners.
    Look at resurectionists summoners - they can summon HUUUUGE model list.
    Why Ulix cant summon more models?
    Example:
    Wild boars - its strange that these guys aren't on board yet.
    Bayou gators - there are thouthands of crocodile farms around the world, why cant alpha-male Ulix make his own farm?
    Roosters - they can have second life, ostrich farms are too all around the globe, why cant Ulix become a little more businessman and summon that huge nice Rooster which were killed by one of eratas?
    50mm pigs - they can be summoned like Teddy or Ice Golem - you need 12-13 masks, it happens not often, but you can summon Gracie, Sow, Mechporkchop.
    Some upgrades manipulations like attaching Saddle/One Pig against the world on summoned pigs.

    Ulix for me looking like pure summoner and im a little bit confused why Wyrd dont move him in this way.
    We have Ramos, Kirai, Hamelin, Nicodem and they can summon half of the fraction and everything working fine.

    Im in love with summoning gameplay (as main master is Somer im not leaving home without 9-12 bayou gremlins) and im hoping to see pure summon-oriented master in Gremlins.

     

    I agree with the concept of farmer but It will be difficult because Ulix and their actions are related with piggies.

    But summoning wild boars or gators you open the crew to use some models like gatreaux or McTavish in a no Zoraida crew.

    Summon rooster is my wet dream xD, but I think that It won't occur.  I think that with rooster a better option should be remove their ram trigger instead of reckless.

    Gracie and the sow are ubique models and for 50mm have the warpig, I think that on this field we are ok.

    I like Ulix crew and playstile, however I miss more models options to use on his crew.

    A method to summon Wild Boars was something I was hoping for with his Wave 5 upgrades (not to say the upgrades he got aren't good). Not sure how to balance it, maybe some wounds? Maybe combining two piglets to make a Boar (a la Rats->Rat Catchers)? Maybe a corpse marker (like they're attracted by the meat)?

    I agree, with something related yo markers. Rats-rat cachers, meh it's exist and I don't really like It. Nevertheress, Wild boars could be a great option if you need some punch in your crew and you don't have/don't want spend your highest cards to summon a warpig.

  20. Hi Bayou inhabitants.

    Two of my wild boars are on my paintting desk and they are staring at me like saying "Hey dude, paint us". 

    After January errata they were down a soulstone but I haven't seen them on the game yet. I have been thiking that they are models wich are on the Ulix starter crew and Husbandry could be great for them.

    Between the 12-13, three scheme markers and 4 wounds for the warpig, and the 9+ and 2 wounds for piglet, could exist a gap for the wildboars.

    10+, 2 wounds on wildboar and 2 wounds on Ulix or something like that.

    What's your opinion Hog whisperers?
