>Are there any games that do this?
Slytherine games are probably the closest we'll get but they still have their limitations. If they had a good campaign mode with limited information combined with the need to send out scouts and screen your troops it'd be kino.

Also, Mount and Blade unironically gives me a more immersive feeling of being a commander than any TW game, if only because your field of view is so limited. CK3 with the obfusckate mod plus crusader blade (if they ever fucking update it) could lead to some good grand strategy with limited info morphing into battles where your ability to command and control is limited by your ability to ride around and personally observe things unfolding.

I recommend Mount and Blade, Ultimate General: AR and Scourge of War: Waterloo KS mod. Mount and Blade gives you the in field commander experience. Ultimate General: AR has limited FOW and outdated information. Scourge of War has independent commanders down to the brigade level, where you send couriers for orders at the highest difficulty setting. Of course, you can set your camera to be "in the saddle". The battles in Scourge of War are sorta just give the give the orders and hope for the best.

The Combat Mission series takes both unit quality and morale into account. The games also factor in communications delays from HQ. I like the earlier versions, with CMBO being my personal favorite, better than the later ones. But be warned, they are ugly as sin and have a steep learning curve.

Make people happy. It can be temporary, so a bribe or giving everyone a bunch of furniture you take away shortly afterwards can help. Slaves too as having slaves gives other races than the slave race happiness AND you can give them low happiness jobs.

you need to do some trial and error then. Try to watch it for a few days, if it ever reaches 100%, if its too late at night and they don't perform all the tending needed, add a couple of people and watch for a few more days, the workload floats a lot on pastures for some reason, one day it is at 60%, next day it is at 90% with the same amount of workers and no change made by the player.

I don't know exactly why this happens, I assume that in some days workers reach more lower fulfillment on some things, so they spend more time seeking services and tending to their needs, or doing other shit before going to work, therefore takes longer for them to make all the tending points, idk, more observation is needed. Don't know how the game calculates workload too, I am under the impression that is based on the previous day and that is based on how longer takes for them to do all the tending. There is also the fact that workers can be enlisted in the army, but I never paid attention to see if plebians employed in other places can refrain from going to their jobs to train, I think that training itself count as a job, so probably no.

Pastures and farms are different from workshops, because they have a fixed amount of work that needs to be done everyday (tending), while in workshops the work is basically infinite as long as you have raw materials, in mines too I suppose (so maybe the workload stay doesn't float as much as in pastures, not matter how much workers are fucking around, because in these places the demand for labor never ends).

Maybe the people who are very far away don't have access to certain services from being out of radius? Or maybe its just in this particular day that this happened by chance? (>>1749008
)

A lot of this is just newbie theory crafting, but its my best bet.

>>1748832
If youre going to have some kind of central huge food stall or restaurant, you better have enough workers and food since people that walked too far to have no service when they get there might get unhappy.
>>1748868
Its a nice constant, non happiness affecting population increase.I found it easier to have them at 100-150 where I usually get stuck trying to get labs and the food to support my city.

There was a patch that increased health of all units by what felt like 300%, in order to make battles last a bit longer and not end in 3 seconds.
During that magical time before said patch, this was viable, as sorcerers did (and still do, I think) only stamina damage in melee, you could nuke them with the crystal sword and your swordsmen in critical condition could finish the sorcerers - and rather quickly, too.
Back then the crystal sword would one-shot most dragon clan units too, and a few critical members of the wolf clan like ballistas and the guys that threw fire torches. Against lesser players you could deny Heroes almost with impunity, two kamikaze glass swords would instakill every hero except for the Stoneman, whose name I don't remember.
I abused this like you wouldn't believe, this was the 4gate of Battle Realms back then.

Vic3 Engoodening is coming soon, EU5 is going to get mogged by the real imperialist macroeconomics simulator.

>>1749317
I've been playing the EU series since 2 and I am one of three people who liked Imperator. I did like EU4 but it was ran into the ground by bloated DLC many years ago. Everything released so far has me cautiously hopeful that Johan is on a redemption arc and has learned the correct lessons for what is wrong with nu-Paradox and that this game is going to kick ass.

>>1749336
>I am one of three people who liked Imperator
You may be lucky because people are saying EU5 is taking more inspiration from Imperator than from any other game.

If I start the browser in the HoI4 folder it launches without issue and adding a playset/mods works without issue. Just starting the game trough the launcher can get fucked.

Sunk cost is real and I hate it. Too much done to pack it up and move on. Too little is complete enough to release. I hate self promotion and I hate shitting up the thread. Unfortunately we are still alive, still working, and still trying to get something done even if the smart thing to do would be to give up.

Just to throw another one in the pile there's also Territorial.io, which is an .io grand strategy game. It fun for a few hours and there's probably some silly metas to figure out if they haven't been found already.

>most of the British Army was engaged in hunting and fighting Luddites.
All I can find in historical reference to Luddites is fantasy akin to the historical fiction of unreliable historians who give vikings silly names.
Believing Ludd was a real man is barmy. He was an anonymous pseudonym.
And how could he be a trade unionist? He hated factory workers and increasing the workforce. Why, if that made someone a trade unionist, Paradox would have made Engineers in Victoria 3 preference being commie, not a 50/50 split between capitalist and fascist bourgeoisie.

>>1749319
Realistically free trade should actually prevent industrialization due to existing industrial countries benefiting from economies of scale and more refined processes leading to their goods being much cheaper. To industrialize you should need a period of economic protectionism, as was historically the case in most countries that industrialized and needed a way to prevent themselves from getting undercut by the existing industrial giants.

But neoliberals are religious fanatics and would never admit that protectionism has benefits.

What do you mean?

>>1748494
OG Dune, XCoom (depending on the game and what unit types you like running), pretty much any stealth-em-up Commandos clone, etc.

>>1749238
I mean there's little detail in what you do. Move your guys to attack the other guys. There are games that are somewhat autistic about it but usually you lack supply systems or cover/stealth or the ability to set traps or the ability to go into buildings/on roofs/in trees, and so on. Even if they are more realistic in some aspects, they lack in others. Xcom type things are the closest, but there's probably some fps or survival game that would be better than strategy games.

>>1749255
OG XCOM is interesting, because technically both XCOM and the Ayys operate like guerrilla fighters.

AI has endless army. You can get a cheap (15silver/m) merc group in the beginning and chase down bandit camps to slow the AI getting enough influence to claim land, but he will have an endless army.

what's the name of it?

the fact a lot of people keep saying that the game still doesn't feel much like vanilla is why i'm still not interested. and at this point i have my doubts that it ever will feel like vanilla because that feels like something that should have been ironed out over the past 6 months or so, no?

guess i'll have to wait to see what openvic do since they at least pretend to care about "recreating" v2.
