![]() It had cobwebbed candles mounted in wall sconces, a mirrored vanity table topped with crystal bottles, and a giant oak bed. Miss Peregrine's bedroom has a pair of heavy doors that were swelled shut. In the corner were corralled a few old desks. There were classics like Peter Pan and The Secret Garden, histories written by authors forgotten by history, textbooks of Latin and Greek. In a modest library, the creep of moisture had bowed the shelves into crooked smiles. There were wooden toys moldering in a box crayons on a windowsill, their colors dulled by the light of ten thousand afternoons a dollhouse with dolls inside, lifers in an ornate prison. Sagging piles of rotted wood and fabric are located in a room. Though one or two had been invaded by mold where a broken window had let in the rain, the rest were packed with things that seemed only a layer or two of dust away from new: a mildewed shirt tossed casually over the back of a chair, loose change skimming a nightstand. Arranged along a hallway striped with peeling wallpaper, the rooms were in surprisingly good shape. The rooms are more outside than inside, character stripped away by moisture and wind and layers of dirt. In the present day, the doorway no longer has a door. Avocet 'spreading her arms in welcome' rather than a replica of Michelangelo’s 'Adam'. The loop entrance was moved from the Cairn entrance to an unknown location, and the topiary is in the shape of Miss. Peregrine was able to make a new loop on Cairnholm, with a few adjustments. With the assistance of Perplexus Anomalous, Miss. The woods are nearby, where the path was as wide and clear as any trail in a national park. One giant topiary was a leafy replica of Michelangelo’s fresco of Adam from the Sistine Chapel. Arranged all in a row were several of these animal bushes-fantastic creatures as tall as the house, standing guard against the woods-including a winged griffin, a rearing centaur, and a mermaid. Out on the grassy pitch, someone kicked a ball too hard, and it flew up into a giant topiary animal and got stuck. The yard had shade trees and flowerbeds bursting with color. The greenhouse had overturned planters among climbing roses, a kerosene lantern on the grass, and glass walls.Ī broad expanse of lawn bloomed with flowers and striped with neat gardens. It was tied up with string, and in grease pencil across the front was written. A hatbox filled with Abe's letters is hidden in the closet. Along one wall was a chest of drawers and a mirror, on the other a writing desk with a chair tucked underneath. Emma's bedroom had a crisply made bed in front of her boots. The classroom looks like a real classroom now with desks arranged in a row and a chalkboard in one corner and books dusted and organized on the shelves. There were sofas and a sunny sitting room with an elaborate Persian rug and a high-backed chair. There were fainting couches and armchairs, and sunlight streamed through high windows. The walls have wallpaper and wainscoting and cheerful shades of paint. ![]() The dining room has a long wooden table ringed by chairs. The staircase is located near the dining room. The staircase gleamed with varnish and has banisters. A flagstone and freshly painted steps lead up to the porch of the house. The house has turrets and chimneys pointed confidently towards the sky.

Unfortunately, wights are able to pass through, which results in Mr. Only peculiars can pass through loops, meaning the peculiars within it are protected from hollowgasts. Due to his invisibility, Millard was able to document all of these things that each person or creature did in the back pages of the Map of Days. Unless interrupted by one of the peculiars, all of Cairnholm's resients and wildlife do the same things continuously every day. While the peculiars can have different experiences on the island, it is told by Millard that every other living being on the island (both people and animals alike) do not have have different experiences. Once the changeover occurs, the loop is reset. Specifically, every changeover is the bombing of Cairnholm on September 3rd, 1940. Like the date changes with midnight, Miss Peregrine's loop is reset with the changeover. A loop is an occurence which only a ymbryne can conduct where a past date (such as September 3, 1940) exists and repeats itself over and over, though the experience of it by those who are peculiar differentiates. Miss Peregrine's home is in the loop of Cairnholm on September 3, 1940. IMP: Backup of config.ini will occur when config schema is updated. Just using -b by itself will back up both.

![]() Fellbats are 'small' (bird-of-prey sized), expendable, and attack in large groups, used to harass, target warmachine crews, and 'tarpit' units.Bat Out of Hell: Fittingly for a Vampiric army they have access to no less then four different bat-esque units.Blood Dragon Lords all start with the Frenzy special rule. Ax-Crazy: Blood Dragons, whether they be Blood Knights or Blood Dragon Lords, are seething, cackling, blood crazed monsters on the battlefield, Noble Demon or not, with their unit quotes suitably blood hungry.Instead, the undead opt for overpowering, brutal onslaughts designed to overwhelm the foe before their magic degrades too much. Attack! Attack! Attack!: Since they entirely lack missile units or artillery, Vampire armies don't have a lot of use for standoffs.If destroyed, the Mortis Engine explodes in a fury of balefire, damaging anything nearby. It provides an area of effect aura that damages any enemy unit' inside said aura, and another aura that heals friendly units. It usually holds the remains of a powerful necromancer (in the ultra powerful Regiment Renown version, remains of Nagash himself), and is pulled into the thickest of battles, as the ghosts who man it can inflict terrible damage. A dark, magical device (similar to a chariot) pulled by a host of vengeful, horrific spirits. Artifact of Doom: The Mortis Engine superunit is essentially one.Not only do they combine several extremely powerful spells in their spell list, all of their bonuses are related to increasing the players magical capabilities, and have several skills dedicated to giving you insane reserves of magic in your mana pool. The Arch Mage: The Necrarch Bloodline are some of the most powerful practitioners of Black Magic in the setting, at the cost of being blisteringly insane.The Grim and the Grave adds two variations of this spell - 'Awaken from the Grave', unique to Helman Ghorst, which summons Grave Guard or a Wight King and 'Command of the Unliving', unique to the Strigoi Ghoul King, which summons Crypt Ghouls or Crypt Horrors.Your Lords can also raise the dead in the middle of battle, though to prevent the ability from being a Game-Breaker it's limited to a single unit of zombies (or skeletons) - expendable Cannon Fodder only really useful for absorbing projectiles or blunting the charge of an enemy unit. However, the quality of the troops you can raise depends on your location-you can get low-level skeletons and zombies anywhere, but high-tier units can only be raised at old battle sites, with the level of the troops that fought there determining what troops you can raise. Its advantage over basic recruiting is that it can be used anywhere and it's instantaneous-you can use your new troops the same turn you raise them. Animate Dead: Can be used outside of battle to gain troops.By the time they're released, they have degenerated fully into the Vargheists, vicious, mindless bat-like monsters. And I Must Scream: Some vampires, after being defeated by their siblings, are sealed in stone coffins for centuries, slowly going mad.Outside of combat, their strength comes from exploiting the use of Vampiric Corruption on the strategic map to shift advantage to themselves, which means their offensives require a higher degree of pre-planning. They have no ranged units whatsoever - not even artillery - but boast some excellent flying units to compensate. The Vampire Counts have a combination of strong, expensive units and weak, expendable fodder, all of which are heavily dependent on their hero units in battle who can support them with a variety of buffs. ![]() A Commander Is You: A Spammer/Technical/Espionage faction. ![]() And since they are so reliant on frightening their foes away from the field, they can have a very hard time against foes that are either Immune to Psychology (which means they are not affected by the Fear or Terror trait that many vampire units have) or are Unbreakable (which means they will fight to the death). The vampires take extra damage against units who possess fire damage, but they also take extra damage from magicians who use the Lore of Light.
![]() And most importantly, more annoying than she could begin put words to. The corner of her eye unwillingly twitched at the sight of none other than Hikari Hoshi. Whoever had just approached her was undoubtedly someone that dared to threaten Mifune’s status as top dog on their new turf, and she would have absolutely none of that funny business! She turned to size up the taller girl, a bright, albeit somewhat hesitant grin on her face. Something felt… adverse about their presence. The stranger had slid up beside her rather coyly, and the entertainer cautiously lowered the hand that had been raised and narrowed her eyes. Mifune felt the other person’s presence before she saw it. Then again, what had Hikari expected? Hopefully she wouldn’t think she was a nerd. She was just as grossly cute as she was on television. She scratched her cheek, studying Mifune. Guess you’re in it to win it, Mifune-chan.” “Uhuhu, get it? White hair and all? Though yours is silver, so, um, I guess it doesn’t matter. Hovering beside her, though opting for not touching her, she spoke up. Because hey, Mifune was pretty small.Įventually Hikari came to a stop near the girl, and turned to her. She slowly approached the girl, as if sneaking up on a small animal. (Go figure that SHSL Entertainer didn’t mean a host… but never had Hikari thought it’d mean Hope’s Peak had recruited actual Mifune Uesugi.) That was for no other reason than Mifune being so so cute and so so adorable, and good at what she did, to boot. This was strange, all things considered, since up until that point she had always loathed Subarashii Star’s resident darling. Pink and black, cute and cool.Īs Mifune shouted out hopeful sentiments, Hikari deemed her not a threat. Normally the charisma girl would be royally pissed to have someone as attractive as her in the same room, but it was clear the two had completely different aesthetics. Hikari was unabashedly staring at none other than Mifune Uesugi as the tiny girl struck a pose. ![]() Volt.fm shows data on your top artists, tracks and genres, similar to last.fm. Probably my favorite of the Spotify Wrapped clones, volt.fm describes itself as "your Spotify profile on steroids." Volt.fm launched in September 2021, but just hit over 1 million users last month, and it's easy to see why: It's by far the most thorough of the Wrapped clones I've seen. So, with that in mind, here's a look at how these "scrobbling" clients work and how they can change the way you stream - from finding out "how NPR you are" to grading the relative obscurity of your music - starting with some of my favorites. The only potential downside? Unlike Spotify Wrapped these clones are desktop- or browser-based only, but at least they are also ultra-sharable. What's even cooler about these Spotify aggregators is that they're not made by Spotify itself they're built by third-party developers and music fans aided by Spotify's open-source API. Unlike Spotify Wrapped 2021, these aren't confined to just once a year, because now every day is a holiday! These viral streaming wrap ups offer exciting, visually compelling ways of understanding your streaming habits that extend far beyond Spotify's helpful (but rather lackluster) On Repeat playlist. Maybe you've seen Spotify Pies making the rounds on Twitter: Pie charts of hyper-detailed top genres, ranging from familiar umbrellas like rock and R&B to are-these-even-real categories like "metropopolis." And that’s all there is to it! Head to the Obscurify website, link your Spotify account, and instantly see how obscure (or not) your listening is.If you've clicked through Instagram Stories in the past few months, you may have seen a mysterious collection of crinkled grocery store receipts posted by friends of yours. At the bottom of the page are music recommendations from Obscruify based on your music taste. The section below has a ‘Share with your friends’ button that allows you to share your Obscurify profile on social media. The page initially shows your top 12 artists/songs, but you can select the ‘Show More’ button to see up to 50 of your top picks. Right below that, Obscurify also shows users their all-time top artists and songs. If you listen to an artist or song that’s not mainstream or overly popular, this is where you’ll see them. As you keep scrolling down the page, Obscurify then shows users their most obscure artists and tracks. For example, Pop is listed as my number five genre, thanks to how often I listen to Ashe, X Ambassadors, and The 1975. Tapping/clicking a genre shows the three artists most responsible for it. Obscurify first shows users their top 10 genres. In less than a second, the Obscurify website updates with insights on your music preferences.

How To Find Your Spotify Obscurity Rating On the note of third-party integration, one neat Spotify trick comes from a website called ‘Obscurify.’ Created in 2020 by Alex Olivero and Nirmal Patel, Obscurify is a third-party website that analyzes your Spotify playlists, looks at the songs added to them, and gives you an obscurity rating to show how obscure/basic your music choices are. Related: How To Sneak A Peek At What Your Friends Are Listening To On Spotify Combine that with deep third-party integration to services like Discord, and it’s easy to see why the social aspect of Spotify is such a big deal for some people. Spotify also introduced a ‘Blend’ feature in 2021 that allows two friends to combine their favorite songs into one mashed-up playlist. At the end of each year, Spotify Wrapped gives users a detailed breakdown of their various listening habits throughout the year - and makes it easy to share those stats on social media. As such, choosing Spotify over one of its many competitors is no longer the clear-cut decision it once used to be.įor all the things its competition is getting better at, Spotify still reigns supreme with its social features. ![]() Apple Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, and other services have only gotten better with time. While Spotify remains the undisputed champ in the music streaming space, its competition is fiercer today than it’s ever been.

Their rule was absolute, until it was overthrown by a rebellion lead by Alex's own father many years ago.Īlex journeys out into the world, but the world is a lot harsher and more violent than he could ever anticipate, and he's flung headfirst into a terrible conflict that will plumb the deepest, darkest secrets of Crown Island and its history. What Alex doesn't know, however, is that dark forces move behind the scenes to revive the dreaded Philosopher Kings, three otherworldly demigods who ruled over Crown Island with an iron fist. With the gargoyle dragon Dracoyle by his side, Alex sets off to see the country he knows so little about, and become a Monster Tamer himself.

More monsters, areas and content are still on the way and I apologize for the delay these past few months, I put a number of things in life on the back burner during that last two years of development, and some of that came crashing down on me this year but all is well now and there's no need to worry. I will be devoting all my free time (which I honestly wish wasn't quite as scarce as it is) to continued work on Monster Crown, as I've got big plans for the future and Monster Crown remains as important in my heart as it ever has. This update will remain in the beta branch for 48 hours (right-cllick, properties, select branch, "ea-beta" if you'd like to opt in) just because it's been a while since I pushed out a new patch and I want to make sure nothing unexpected pops up.
