MY WORKAROUND FOR THE LIMITATIONS OF THE RON MOD MANAGER My Workaround for the Limitations of the RoN Mod Manager. In the course of my RoN modding adventures, I decided to make a broad-scope “tech demo” style mod, showcasing some of the moddable aspects of RoN that I felt were being underutilisied – and hopefully learning a few things in the process.

A few weeks ago /r/leagueoflegends ran a contest for reaching 4 million subscribers to the subreddit. There were four categories, and four winners in each category.

When you upgrade the Classical Age (II) War Elephant to a Mahout, it becomes an extremely unique unit 8 – the only unit type in the game to have both a melee and ranged attack. 9 This moves it from “HC on steroids” to some weird hybrid between HC and RC.

Andrew’s Lazy Gaming PC (Nov/Dec 2019) Michael’s twin brother Andrew was after a super solid gaming PC during the Black Friday – Cyber Monday period. The budget was scoped out to be about $2,000.

Posted on December 11, 2019 NICK’S GAMING PC 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO Back in April of this year, Nick — who I helped with a gaming PCback in 2014
— was looking for a new system to get him a step up in performance. His old system was going to be given away / sold, so simply upgrading that was not in the cards. The new system was to have essentially the same purpose and priorities as his existing system. The budget wasn’t particularly strict as long as it was under 2K and performance needs were met, but I obviously also didn’t want to just burn his money. Some people like to spend right up to the allocated machine’s budget, whereas others
just set an amount as the maximum and leave the specifics up to me.Nick is the latter.

For me, a history of building systems began before I’d ever technically “built a system”. _Note: despite being published in 2019, this was actually written primarily in 2017. I had wanted to release it alongside part 1, which unfortunately got caught in “people not responding to questions”limbo._

Posted on December 9, 2019December 10, 2019 ♫ DESPITE 12 MONTHS OF PARTS LISTS, THE PC WAS NOT BUILT ♫(NOV/DEC 2019)
In _June of 2018,_ my dad expressed interest in a parts list for a new computer, and I obliged. For the next 12 months 17 months1 he continued to express that interest on and off, and so multiple times during that time period I diligently updated the parts list based on the current market. With Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals wrapping up, it’s now plausible that the year will end and the system will still not be assembled, so I’m locking the current parts list in place as a demonstration of a build at this price point with roughly thesepriorities.

effects more akin to a Thanos snap would’ve been sweet, but far too time consuming for a throwawayphoto.

Posted on December 4, 2019December 10, 2019 ANDREW’S LAZY GAMING PC (NOV/DEC 2019)Michael’s
twin brother Andrew was after a super solid gaming PC during the Black Friday – Cyber Monday period. The budget was scoped out to be about $2,000. This turned out to be pretty convenient timing for me, as I already had a parts list handy for a ~$1,500 gaming / general use PC. I
used that parts list as a base and got to work. Given the extra budget, I looked around on the list at where I could make part substitutions that increased performance roughly proportionately to the increased price. This was a nearly-strictly gaming-focused build, and the performance of parts were considered within that context.

It’s mostly just optimising based on what kind of resources you have available to you, such as how powerful your CPU is, how fast your internet connection is, and how much storage space you’re willing to use up. Streaming is much the same, although your expected quality bar will of course be lower because your viewers have to keep up with the incoming video in real-time, and you yourself have to encode that video inreal-time as well.
The process is a little different if you’re making clips for Gfycat – at least if you want them to still look great once they’rethere.

Advice about angles is one of the recurring tips I give, and I believe that it’s something that’s fairly intuitive to apply in-game once you understand the concept.

After publishing my article on War Elephants,
TripleAAA commented asking about Militia and Minuteman (Minutemen?) against War Elephants. I hadn’t tested that but it seemed like useful information to have, so I put it on the to-do list. While running these new tests I also ended up with some questions of my own regarding the ranged attack of Mahouts. Was the damage of the melee and ranged attacks identical? Was the damage modifier different for the ranged and melee attacks (i.e. would one attack deal different damage to the other depending on what unit was being hit)? I set out to answer both sets of questions, and ended up stumbling into a few surprising answers in the course of doing so.
