There comes a time in your life when you look at a new technology and think ‘I guess the bar to participation is low enough I can try it out now.’ Finally AI has become so run of the mill even this intrepid journalist could log onto a website and make it work. So I figured I could cut some corners and get Chat GPT to do my work for me. In the following sections the AI text is in italics…
First query: Explain Kings of War tournaments…
Kings of War is a tabletop miniatures game that involves two or more players competing against each other with armies of miniature models representing soldiers, monsters, and war machines. Tournaments are events where players come together to compete against each other in a series of games. Kings of War tournaments typically involve several rounds of games, with players matched up against opponents based on their performance in previous rounds. Players earn points for winning games, and at the end of the tournament, the player with the most points is declared the winner.
Tournaments may have specific rules and restrictions, such as limits on the number or types of models that can be used, or limitations on certain types of tactics or strategies. These rules may vary from tournament to tournament, so it’s important for players to familiarize themselves with the specific rules of the event they plan to attend. Tournaments often offer prizes for top-performing players, such as new models or other rewards. They can be a great way for players to meet new opponents, improve their skills, and have a fun and challenging experience playing Kings of War.
Err, yeah, ok. So that’s an excellent summary my digital buddy. Time to mix it up.
Second query: Explain Jess playing Kings of War…
As an AI language model, I cannot make judgments about individuals and their abilities in playing games, including Kings of War. However, Kings of War is a complex game that requires careful planning, strategic thinking, and a good understanding of the rules and mechanics. Players must manage their resources, maneuver their troops, and make tactical decisions to outwit their opponents.
If someone is playing Kings of War badly, it could be due to a variety of reasons, such as not having a good understanding of the rules, not being able to think strategically, or simply having a bad day. To improve their gameplay, they may need to practice more, study the rules and mechanics of the game, and learn from their mistakes.
In summary, playing Kings of War well requires practice, strategic thinking, and a good understanding of the game’s mechanics. If someone is playing badly, they may need to work on improving their skills and knowledge of the game.
You what mate? I’ve just been called out by a person who exists only as an anthropomorphism of complex learning algorithms. Well then my friend, if I imagine you thinking you know so much why don’t we prove it? Right then…
Third query: Explain Kings of War Tactics
Kings of War is a tabletop miniatures game that requires careful planning and strategic thinking to succeed. Here are some common tactics that players may use:
- Maneuvering: Moving your units into strategic positions to take advantage of the terrain and control the battlefield.
- Flanking: Attacking your opponent from the side or behind, where they may be weaker or less protected.
- Focus fire: Concentrating your attacks on a single target to take it out quickly, or to weaken it for future turns.
- Screen: Using cheap or expendable units to protect more valuable units from enemy attacks.
- Ambush: Setting up traps or hiding units to surprise and attack your opponent when they least expect it.
- Bait and switch: Drawing your opponent into a trap by exposing a seemingly vulnerable unit, only to have more powerful units waiting in the wings.
- Attrition: Wearing down your opponent’s forces by forcing them to take casualties or expend resources.
- Objective-based play: Focusing on achieving specific objectives, such as capturing a flag or defending a position, rather than simply trying to destroy your opponent’s army.
These are just a few examples of the many tactics that players may use in Kings of War. The key to success in the game is to be flexible, adaptable, and creative in your strategies, and to be prepared to adjust your plans as the situation on the battlefield changes.
I… uh… I’ll get my coat.
Conclusion
There we have it. Not only can a computer write better than I can, apparently it knows more and can throw some brutal shade. How can I compete with that?
Wow. That Tactics summary at the end was actually a really helpful breakdown of the many things I’ve been trying to juggle in my beginner brain.
This was a fun read, but can the AI explain THAC0?
Query 4: Explain THAC0…
THAC0 (To Hit Armor Class 0) is a mechanic used in some editions of the tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) to determine whether an attack by a character is successful against a target with an Armor Class (AC) of 0.
In THAC0, each character has a specific THAC0 value that determines their likelihood of hitting a target with an AC of 0. The lower the THAC0 value, the better the character’s chance of hitting. The THAC0 value is based on the character’s level and class, and it decreases as the character gains levels, making them more proficient in combat.
To calculate whether an attack is successful, the player rolls a twenty-sided die (d20) and adds their character’s relevant attack modifier (such as their strength bonus or weapon proficiency). If the result is equal to or higher than the THAC0 value, the attack hits.
Given the overly political garbage you’ve contributed to this site I have to say I agree with your article title.
As ever it’s a delight to have evidence of the rampant misogyny and aggressive gatekeeping in the hobby in a handy place I can refer people to.
I see, women are only credible when you personally decide they are?
If you had just mentioned the Thomas the Tank Engine article, rather than referring to calls for better representation of women as political garbage, then you might have been funny.
