Darkgamma's Acronym and Neologism Thread (DANT)

[aragonFTW]

An HK stack defines its tactics, as opposed to a siege stack which stays static on a holding, a Hunter-Killer stack roams around the enemy provinces looting and destroying small units [hunting and killing] before they band together to a size where they can threaten your own.

It's not necessarily huge, but you want to keep it on the move in case it has siege events happen to it. Successful HK is crucial in depleting a numerically superior enemy's levies so you can defeat them. Hope that helps.

Wrong thread ?

Never read of HK.

Never read of HK.

Hunter/Killer stacks were referenced in a patch-note, and a definition is therefore warranted. The tactic is consistently used by players, and while not everyone uses the term, it's a useful shorthand.

Hunter-Killer [Hunter/Killer; HK] A mobile force for hunting and killing enemy levies, retinues and mercs before they can combine into stacks or gain morale sufficient to threaten your siege stacks.

Did some snooping and decided to include this (with minor alternations, of course)

 

[Darkgamma]

Random occasional bump, for posterity's sake

 

[Darkgamma]

Updated the OP with the new DLC. Just another bump ^ ^'

 

[riknap]

this has more bumps than the dark side of the moon already

 

[Darkgamma]

Ah well, if I bump it enough many times it might resurface into relevance!

 

[SBolshevik]

DANT can into as much relevance as Polan can into space

 

[Darkgamma]

DANT can into as much relevance as Polan can into space

I agree

 

[SBolshevik]

o kurwa

 

[riknap]

odd. now that I think of it, wasn't this stickied once?

 

[SBolshevik]

There are two of these if I recall, one is in the FAQ subforum.

 

[Darkgamma]

This one is still kinda-stickied, actually

ah, it is indeed there now that I checked. ^_^
rather pointlessly too, since it's not only thread-locked, but that subforum's contents are also practically invisible without a two-click option refresh @_@
(not to mention, most of the thread are 2-3 years old )

 

[Darkgamma]

I don't know how to refresh it so that I can see it ; _ ;
Basically the same problem as in the CKI subforum, dunno how to access it decently

 

[riknap]

the "instructions" are in the the "What?" thread, but the gist is to click the Thread Display Options tab, then click the Set Options right next
odd thing is that it should be enabled by default really, since you're basically applying the "Default" options already anyway, but it's most definitely likely just a bug with the forums (one of the many subtle ones really)

 

[Darkgamma]

It still doesn't work for me but alas ^ ^'
