"The Good, ..." is legendary.
Gran Torino is excellent, and probably the best "modern" Eastwood.
But " A Few $ More" got my vote too.
The acting in this Leone is huge. |

I'd love to see this -
With 14 NIs a player is automatically killed if he's Injured.
With 13 NIs Lasting Injury is 6.25%, killed is 93.75% |

Cheers, glad you liked it!
About the NIs, the max number is 12, as pointed out by C0ddlefish in the blog.
Once a player has got 12 NIs it's impossible to get further NIs. Realistically speaking, most players will die/be fired before getting so many NIs. |

You could argue injuries you care about have gone from over 33% to a less than 23% |
That's about where I am.
Niggles aren't an auto fire where as they were before BB2020 rules for most players. In CRP/BB2016 strength bust was an auto fire for almost all players, AV bust was probably an auto fire unless you had a highly developed player. Agility only mattered for ball handlers/those likely to dodge out.
So really in CRP era niggle = functionally death, strength bust = death, and similar for other stats in specific situations.
In BB 2020 niggles now stay on the team in most cases (at least for me.) I keep the niggles and let nuffle see them off to the afterlife eventually. Stat busts are the same as previously but -PA is now only likely to cause a firing on someone somewhat likely to have to pass. That means I'm actually keeping more players with >MNG results then in the past even if Badly Hurt is happening less often.
If you trying to keep a static TV, or are dependent on having a particular positional available (thrower, wardancer, etc) I think getting rid of niggles make sense. In Matt's example chaos dwarves tend to really want all 6 dwarves on the pitch to make the team run.
For less essential players like linemen or nice but not necessary positionals I'm willing to let them ride unless I'm flush with cash.
Particularly on low AV teams someone else may very well be MNG after your next game when the new niggle is back to the pitch. Might as well hold onto the MNG-niggle until you see where you are before your next game. |

Players who "temporarily retire" still count towards your allowed # of that position though, so unless it's a lineman this is not a good option for a team that wants to be competitive... |

I have definitely noticed higher MNG rates, but I actually think less player turnover happens nowadays, with no cpomb and less prevalence of cmb. Maybe I only think that because I never fire players for niggles. (but why should I?) I've found that it makes it tough on elf teams / teams with a few key players (Lizards, UW). |

Agree with all this really. Only thing I'd add is I think MNG + is more common at low TV now. With CPOMB at high TV CRP obviously the game was a mess... |

I must say it... I don't like Clint Eastwood movies anymore.
Even in university I made myself believe he is cool, his movies are cool, but in fact that was just an attempt to keep a childish memory relevant. He is dumb, his movies are dumb and the few movies that are not totally terrible, are plain copies of better Japanese samurai movies.
Also you forgot to add the pie option. |

The one thing I like about the new apo is that taking one isnt a no-brainer anymore. For high AV teams in Competitive I dont think I would ever pick one up (maybe if I played past 15 games). Other teams really want one, like UW with a developed gutterrunner. For almost all teams you need to make a decision, which is good.
In general I strongly dislike the new apo though. Cas-luck is dominating BB a lot already, esp. at low TV, and this makes it even worse. In my very personal opinion, the apo should be a lot more reliable, and maybe even available multiple times, while damage skills get increased in effectiveness to keep the level of attrition unchanged. So the victim gets a little (more) control of where and when the hammer falls.
For league play, some teams really suffer from it. I am playing wood elves in the german league and it is not good. It hurts to have wardancers go missing, which just happened to me again in the last game before Playoffs, just like last season. Star access is really bad for WE too, esp. now that they abolished the money economy for stars, which is a shame in precisely these situations. Throwing some money in that you earned by playing well in the games before to get a star like Eldril or even the Swifts to compensate for missing positionals was a great mechanic imho. Now compensating the MNGs is much harder. (Different story for C ofc with its unique matchmaking houserules)
Other teams can live with this much better obviously. Like Chaos getting a chainsaw when a killer CW is missing or so. |
