> [@Memleak](#): > > I like how the devs know this is a problem and yet they release new weapons with exactly the same problem. Can you test and see if at least the destroy gems happens before the gem creation? Unfortunately no. The developers have know its a player concern that spending 45 or 55 Ingots makes your weapon worse than keeping the ingots… But Weapon Perks are completely out of their hands as they have been outsourced to the “RNG Pick-A-Perk Robo Dev” shareware Beta app 😉 ---

Just to make you feel weirder… Tauros is the Hannibal of the Wild Plains 🤣 ![32](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/2/9/299e290bd6d5a2dcb02e017b1cf75f91c324a4a5.jpeg) ---

_Technically speaking_ leather can be made from any animal hide. We tend to make it from bovines because they have a lot of skin, which means it’s easier to make big pieces. They’re also domesticated, which makes it easier to make a lot of leather at once. The sacrifice doesn’t surprise me, humans don’t even need religious festivals to celebrate slaughtering each other. All we need is a reason why the people we killed “don’t count” as humans. Example: they live in the wrong country, or were born to the wrong parents, or looked at us funny, or we needed to foster deep-seated hatred that would result in a future insurgent cell so we have continued reason to build armaments to do it again. In this case it is likely there’s something like the scenario in _Wicked_: Tauros are “Animals”, sentient beings. The festival cow is an “animal”, a being with no or limited consciousness that hasn’t been deemed the bearer of a soul. Most cultures only consider a killing “murder” if a being with a soul is losing its life. Definitions of “having a soul” vary to suit individual agendas. ---

The description on Tauros does lean towards that he’s wearing something bovine… It was a light hearted joke by all means and not sure if it required that much analogy 😑 ---

OK OK here’s something else mind-blowing: You know why Huey, Dewey, and Louie were left with Scrooge McDuck? _Donald Duck joined the Navy in WW2._ This is confirmed by many things, including some Disney comics where DD experiences PTSD-like symptoms, such as flashbacks when he hears fireworks. He had a rank of Sargeant, and was honorably discharged. ---

Out of all the derailed thread topics, this is my favorite. ![eek_a_mouse](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/8/4/8469f8006415f58704bc9d95145122df98cfd545.jpeg) Now back on topic I like sacred cow being a sacrifice for the sake of buffing a team instead of damage as outside of well, sacrifice, we don’t really have that. The raid troop is a welcome addition and has a very useful effect both in and out of raids unlike a certain bowvine from the kingdom. ---

> [@KYLENATOR001](#): > > I like sacred cow being a sacrifice for the sake of buffing a team instead of damage as outside of well, sacrifice, we don’t really have that. I like the prospects of pairing it with “summon on death” hero talents. Some exploitable death + summon loop is the key we need to unlock Gargantaur as the strongest mythic. I’m thinking like, Jar of Eyeballs, the cow, maybe something like Arachnaean Weaver, Gargantaur. ---

I think Festival Cow might be inspired by domestic yak in Tibet. They are related to both cattle and bison. ![jpeg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/5/4/54a7566523683667e6d080dd756067ce0c083934.jpeg) ---

Is Festival Cow meant to be used with Hyena and Winged Bison? To free up some slots for summoning. [Previous page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/running-of-the-bulls/50771.md?page=1) [Next page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/running-of-the-bulls/50771.md?page=3)
