However, Bradbury is known worldwide. Perhaps not for dogmas, perhaps his books are not 100% philosophy, but nevertheless, they contain a large part of it.
But this is a detached thought:) Let's continue...
Okay, fine, let it be a regular unit. (Let's not get time involved here.)
gremlins... well, for a catapult, they'll, let's say, snap their fingers and break or fray some ropes so that it can't fire. They're not knocking stones off. What will they do to a rocket in flight? Will they drain the fuel?! They won't get close to the launcher - it's too far away.
They fray ropes with a snap of their fingers... =o_O= what kind of technique. They don't do anything (except snap their fingers) and completely break the string of a ballista... And the ballista is restored on the next turn without anyone's help =O_O= No matter how far away it is, they will disable it at any distance. Why drain the fuel? They'll just burn out the entire guidance system and everything else.
rusty and azure dragons prevent the integrity of the world from being maintained - either a group of five with gremlin-breakers, or a group of three.
..and, for example, necromancers attack from somewhere in a parallel Warhammer universe on a supermarket.
Why is that? Let's not touch on the issue of the integrity of worlds, okay?:D Well... and there's only one Warhammer. So in any case :P
they don't need to reach it - they dig themselves up right from the ground :O
besides, cursed land also requires a necromancer, and that's already a significant budget. especially since it deals very little damage.
Nevertheless, to dig out of the ground, you need to get close to the surface of the earth, which is an unknown distance below the cursed land. And it also depends on what kind of mage... maybe level 45?... Budget? How much does a pack of rockets cost?:) And mana is replenished in a well, for free.
well... bd... okay, it won't be negative) but blood wrath can easily be countered by artillery fire.
Of course! Moreover, it will be positive :)
a necron lord is very, very durable.
Even if he had 98638673653784369 HP and a defense rating of 99 (you can't have more), he will die from a spell costing 6 mana.
besides, he can become a nightbringer for a while, and the damage will only heal him. or he can become a deceiver and turn your troops against you.
Mass removal of positive effects and that's it. He will become a mage of order with the ability of Nightbringer or Deceiver.
iron, cast golems)))) angular and twitching. with impurities in the alloys. this is not the same as a select, self-regenerating metal.
In cyborgs, this metal accounts for about 50% of its strength. By the way, golems also regenerate quite well.
no, the most he can do is teleport hydras to artillery positions, but even magic will be poorly mastered by him.
Why would he need that?.. A warlock warrior is a harbinger of the apocalypse, armageddon, mass earth shock, and other terrible things. If he comes to this world, it's over!
It will be a bloody reckoning. It's better not to speak ill of him, for his power and malice are frightening.
by the way, Monolith is right - if dragons can be defeated by a presumptuous, unwashed knight with some weak iron, called a sword, which has no engine with moving blades, or an energy element, then a lizard can be killed even with a simple Makarov or Glock.
Warriors with magic-infused swords and covered with a bunch of enchanted items, who have spent years in hard training, with a small probability, with a lot of luck, perhaps, maybe, could defeat a sleeping, tired, hungry dragon who decided to commit suicide for the sake of something.
a thousand-thousand in the eye or in the mouth. or in the fillet part.
. The eyes are protected by a very strong shell. A bullet in the mouth? Cool. I think the dragon will then regurgitate it so that it flies through the entire "hunter" regiment.
a terribly terrible reptile.
Reptile - lizard. Dragon - dragon. In any case, this is irrelevant:smile04: By the way, any laser will simply be reflected from the scales :P
Ruins or a bunker - a soldier's paradise ) ruins or a bunker with hot food, drinks, and women - that's a soldier's paradise.
Yes, especially if there's mass plague there. :)
if a monolith beats a gnome or an elf.
It won't beat them:)
Dragon pate.
If we judge by logic, then in principle, ashes.:) But no, rockets are clumsy...
...yours... ;)
Tomorrow holds no promises Except the ones we've made
As for the idea that the warriors' swords are imbued with magic, that's questionable. Fantasy is full of examples where a knight who knows nothing about magic can kill a dragon with a sword. Besides, a Makarov or a Glock isn't a sword, and a dragon's scales are unlikely to be stronger than the best modern body armor. You just need to hit the dragon in the stomach or the eye, and that's it. I don't think gremlins, who can't even completely destroy catapults and ballistae, will be able to burn a high-tech targeting system...
Yes, and what about dragon ballistae (or whatever they're called)? One or two shots to the body, and that's it, the dragon is dead. So, what about lasers? What about a rocket barrage? Even if the dragon's scales are as strong as stone, it won't save it.
By the way, any laser will simply bounce off the scales :P
Here, the situation is ambiguous. In a sci-fi world that adheres to existing realities, reflecting a laser off scales is unlikely, but it is quite possible in a fantasy world if the author wishes to give the dragon such a magical property.
In my opinion, any combination of cyborgs and golems, lasers and dragons, modern art installations and gremlins, etc., will constantly lead to similar contradictions, in other words, "science vs. magic." :)

Yes, that's true. But if a dragon can be harmed by a sword and arrows, why wouldn't a laser work? In general, I'm annoyed that in many movies, books, etc., mirrors reflect lasers. IMO, this wouldn't happen; it's possible (POSSIBLE, I don't agree) that it might reflect, but in any case, it would destroy the mirror.
Regarding knights defeating dragons with ordinary swords... you can attribute anything to yourself, these "facts" are dictated by the knights themselves.
Dragon scales aren't stronger than bulletproof vests?:rolleyes:
Gremlins are quite the beasts, I think they can manage it:)
Dragon scales have a mirrored surface, so the laser will be reflected.
Dragon ballistae are also just human tales.
And a rocket barrage... well, you're not going to hit it:P, it's like shooting butterflies out of a bazooka in the sky.

Why is that? ;) if it has quite specific properties.
The authors are irrelevant here; we're just discussing the facts.

And then a nuclear explosion happens... (c) try to prove me wrong :)

Does every dragon really have mirrored scales? Even a black dragon? :)

Even if a dragon's scales are very shiny, its reflection coefficient might not be enough to avoid the damaging thermal effect of the laser ;)

I'll repeat again: A mirror won't protect you from a laser.
Why is that? If that were the case, then, for example, a mirror left in the sun would heat up...
O God of Earth and Altar, Bow down and hear our cry, Our earthly rulers falter, Our people drift and die, The walls of gold entomb us, The swords of scorn divide, Take not thy thunder from us, Take away our pride.
I'll break you, but Dragons are cold-blooded creatures.
Don't they emit heat? Oh. Okay, I'm an idiot. However, a dragon won't be able to withstand ALL the rockets. (Even without thermal guidance :)))
Why is that? If that were the case, then, for example, a mirror left in the sun would heat up...
It's quite possible that the laser will reflect, BUT! It can destroy the mirror because the temperature is too high, and the mirror is a fragile thing.
