GRIM'S REAPER has trained in nothing

   again no trains. What will it take? Loss sucks as well. I'm getting mau(d)l (in) over this I tells ya.

The temptation when skills and stats that you choose and hope for don't come turn after turn is to change the training slot to something else, isn't it?
What do you think expert managers do in this situation?
Hint - they say its a virtue.

Just bear in mind that any warrior can die and then stop worrying about it. So long as you are not running foolish strategies, then you are doing the best you can to keep death from happening within reason. Beyond that take a tip from Paul and 'Let it be'.

Yeah I just hate having morons He will still on his training plan...but considering doing away with TK as first strat and going with his med damage strat.

GRIM'S REAPER has trained in nothing

Cripes. Another loss and lack of trains. Will keep on slugging it out hoping for the best. Perhaps I should have kept TK as first strategy. Think I should up activity one so I can get in a few more hits?

I'm not so sure about whatever trigger 4 is. I'd eliminate that one, as he seems to get his butt kicked when he goes there.

vV

Yeah, I agree with Vic. By the looks of it you have him running a mid-level bash. It's just not working out with the lack of initiative skills. I'd consider doing something else for sure. Also, I would personally be doing 3x trains int until it was up to 10 before trying any more skills. This warrior has got 6 feet under written on him right now do to lack of trains and that is not going to change until that int gets up. Even at 10 int, the skills are not going to be pouring in, but at least he'll have a much better chance than right now.

Dux, your warning got me lookin' at a whole slew of my young guys, and I threw in some intelligence trains just to be safe.

vV

Actually Dux it is activity 2 bash....he was kicking arse with it in his earlier fights, but then again he wasn't facing opponents who probably have good init. And I had it set for foe has taken heavy damage. After I lost first fight appears I changed it to foe has taken medium damage. And of course I messed around with some other strategies.  Perhaps I should switch it back and keep strike going until they get to heavy damage?  The TK was working as well but doesn't take much to get him down to Medium damage using that. Then again, his hits were doing some good damage. Definitely going to 3 INT for awhile. Got 2 a few turns earlier so at 7 right now, but think for sure want that 10. Most of my idjits that get there eventually get to 12-14 if they live that long. I just cant pass up rolls with crapola for PRE.

How has GRIM's REAPER been training?

GRIM'S REAPER has trained in War Hammer
BLACK LANCER has trained in

Sorry Ive been on auto pilot that last two months or so. Look a win! Also switch back-up to war hammer...and really considering making it main weapon. Cannot seem to do anything with this maul. Here are his stats presently:
STR 24
DEX 14
CON 23
INT 9
PRE 3
SZ 12

Has novice skill (1) in War Hammer
Has some skill (2) in Maul
Has some skill (2) in Initiative
Has some skill (2) in Feint
Has novice skill (1) in Sweep

Know I need some defensive skills but been cranking out 2 INT for the last what two months? Trying to at least to get that 10. Last turn was the first time I went 1 INT. Just plugged in WH for the hell of it. Strike and TK seem to be the only good strategies with the maul....well bash worked the first 10 fights or so but assuming 1)need more init 2)need more brains 3)needed to be bigger. Any suggestions? Oh and I upped it to half-plate this last battle when I managed to wrangle 24 STR out of training. Perhaps I needed to go there earlier.

Oh klag... that warhammer train was waste. He needs to have trains slotted like you mentioned... init. Big time, needs init. And yes, defensive skills would be good as well.

I'd go dodge/parry/init

vV

Either train in Maul or WH - not both. Pick a weapon and stick with it or you will be walking in the middle of the road, and we all know what Mr. Miyagi said about that, right? "get squashed just like grape."

Woot! Woot! and WTF? Apparently I mixed up his strats with the guy above him. Had him CS....sigh. At least I got some defensive trains. Suggestions? Might go for same trains again.

It wouldn't hurt to have more defense. Lvl 1 parry/dodge affords little comfort to a gladiator in his mid 20s.

Dang only level 3 injury took this loser out. Good riddance. Of course I will have to avenge him. Or will I? Replacement is 5-19-5-10-12-4. Any suggestions before I send him/her to the monsters? And please no maul wielding orcs. Sure if I had of gotten some trains, especially in defense might have helped. But this loser went 9-0 before his downward spiral. At least replacement has INT at 10. Only plan on big dummies in the future.

5-19-5-10-12-4

That is a fun looking rollup!

7-19-12-15-12-6 MA or 5-19-12-17-12-6 or 5-19-12-15-12-8

Jedi mind-trick: There is no need for revenge.
