>>5198942534 was decent at launch. If I like what I hear about the giant man DLC tomorrow maybe I'll try it again. I squeezed a near 100 hours out of it so far before I put it down for a long time to let the DLC and free updates pile up.

>>519907114It's a bot, don't mind it. Just a sad, miserable NPC.
>>519907473?
>>519880687The genre or theme or whatever you want to call space games is cursed fundamentally99% of them suffer horrendously from scope creep and those that don't are probably permanently in dev by like 5 guys and running on an outdated game engine that's as old as the game itself.Much like how we can't mentally grasp how big the universe actually is, space games can't into fitting such a thing into the limited space of a videogame. Games are supposed to eventually end, but space is practically infinite. It stands to reason that it is impossible to make a really good space game simply because you have to cut it off eventually. Some use proc gen to simulate that infinite nature of space but even that is extremely limited and unfulfilling. There are precious few that get close to greatness but they always have to limit something in order to not take an average human lifetime to make, by then the tech it was made with has long since been left behind
Endzone is pretty fun. It's got a nice aesthetic and it's pretty relaxed.The pathfinding is absolutely dogshit, though.
>>519912259Isn't that PARAKEK's game?
>>519912341No, you're thinking of Surviving the Aftermath.
>>519912918You are right.
>>519912259Any combat in it?
>>519882715Starsector is one of my favorite games and I think it's nearly perfect. Space strategy games that focus on empire building are often too bloated. MoO1 is good because it's concise but the problem I have with it is that it is too focussed on conflict. Distance factors in this too it should be very costly and difficult to cross or govern over large distances. Space is big why even go to the trouble of taking something when there is enough empty space for everyone.
>>519924036You can get raided, but you don't really gather troops and man a wall. You just build towers, fill them with people and supply them with bullets from the bullet factory.There might be more to it on higher difficulties. Only just started.
Any of my citybuilder bros try out synergy? Looks neat from a visual point. Not sure how the gameplay is. Apparently it should be leaving early access in a couple of months?Is it any good?
>>519929360Well that's better than I feared and less than I had hoped.
>>519930098The reviews were fairly positive, over 80 percent when it entered early access so it's probably a decent game.
Good night.

>>519936298The thread you are looking for is over at /vst/.
>>519936007That does look pretty interesting.Hopefully that one won't fall down to the black hole of never released space games.
>>519936676It seems C beams is smaller in scope and is actually making good progress. It reminds me a bit of starsector.

With the new Gundam series coming out I decided to finish my playthrough of the mod for Goy$Last time: the Federation foolishly declared war on me as sopn as I finished preparing to invade them. They have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind
Mere seconds later. The cowards.Well, this will make it much easier since I can ignore the space layer entirely.
>>519998623Wrong general, tranny.How embarassing!
When you complete the Side Co-Prosperity Sphere, it turns everyone neutral except Side 7, which is a puppet of Earth. Well, they won't be much of a problem.
Funnily enough, war support was the only thing I was having trouble with.Who would have thought that declaring war on a peaceful nation for no reason would cause it to go through the roof? What a twist!
I wonder what this could mean.
>/gsg/ger embarasses ximself by posting in a general that hates xim, about a retarded weeaboo gameIs this some kind of humiliation sexual fetish thing? What can push someone's troon son to act like this?>>519999087lol yeah. I bet its parents killed themselves a while ago over the embarassment of birthing this thing.
It takes thirty days to form the invasion force. You would think that would mean there would be fierce battles going on in space right?Well no, because they got completely evicted from 2/3 of the map, they can barely even defend Earth olololololol
>>519999362I mean, if I birthed that nazi retard? Yeah, I'd kill myself too.
The first time I played this I made an embarrassing mistake. It turns out that you don't actually need to build your divisions, in fact if you do you end up with no manpower to actually invade Urf. You just need the equipment, and then they magically get spawned on the ground. Yes.
>>519999532No wonder it's posting here, that loser probably got booted out of /gsg/. Imagine being a clown, and still being kicked out of the circus.How miserable and pathetic. I almost feel bad for this tranny and xis shitty weeaboo mod. Almost.
104 divisions should be enough for one continent, right?
>>519999703Oh yes. It's clearly been laughed out of /vst/ entirely, hence why it's blogging here like the friendless loser that it is.I find it hilarious that it's too scared to break its NPC programming and talk with us. It's probably crying right now with its shaky tranny hands clumsily typing off-topic weeaboo posts.
The invasion script drops you in a bunch of clusters near major target areas on the coast. This is blobbing at maximum level.
>>519999880I mean, imagine being so desperately starved for any kind of attention after being mocked at school that you have to post in a general that hates you for being a hypocritical faggot, just out of despair to get any kind of attention.How pathetic.
>>519999997Nah man, I can't imagine being that loser. It's just too autistic and clueless to even imagine being its shoes.
>>520000103You struck a nerve, xe's seething right now. Good riddance.
Within days
>>520000568S A V A G E
Within a week.I have no idea what the idea of "operational objectives" are as it gives you a scarcely defendable foothold on an entire hostile continent, but I will take what I can get. The enemy doesn't even have MS, it's all tanks and infantry.
This is a decision but I didn't screencap the choices. There was only one choice anyway.
I can't remember why I didn't research this earlier. I assume there were more pressing needs, after all I'm already popular enough.
I was expecting "wipe out" to be more along the lines of "stabbings and bullets", but I guess this is fine too. Also entirely irrelevant at this stage.
>>520000806>>520000932>>520001059Jesus dude, you struck a nerve. Xe's seething so hard xe can't even answer you.
>>519998623>zeonism>not contolism
I have a question. There are a lot of medieval city builders popping up lately. Are there any that addressed how much tanneries stunk? I was wondering because it pops up whenever someone talks about life in the middle ages.
At this point my lack of manpower really began to hurt. Having to garrison all those conquered territories is costly after all.
>>520001194Sieg Zeon!
>>520001276Only thing I can think of is representing how much they ruin the neighbourhood.How badly do they stink? As much as the off-topic /gsg/ger answering its own posts right now?
IT KEEPS HAPPENING>>520001194It's a japanese mod, maybe they didn't want to go all out with the autism in the translation. They already go very far with renaming Zeon to "Munzo" if you depose the Zabi family.
>>520001485Wrong general, tranny.Also, stop answering your own posts, it's sad.
>>520001276I recall Manor lords having a feature like that under work, could be wrong though, since I didn't find any mention of it on their wiki.
>>520001352Dunno most people just go with generic "most people today don't realize how much did they stunk" or "people avoided such and such part of town because that's where all the tanneries were". It must've been pretty horrible if people during the middle ages noticed it.
At this point the event chain would be more meaningful if it had any relevance to what was happening in game. This screenshot does show off two things: the number of divisions per army is normally capped at 24. I haven't played the vanilla game at all so I don't know if this is a carryover from that.However, for certain 'hero' generals, the unit cap is 6. This makes micromanagement a giant pain, on top of the worst-in-a-decade interface the game already has.
>>520001808Wrong general, transsexual. How goes your butchery? Is your axe wound still hurting?
This is when I reloaded the game from an earlier save, because it turns out using up all your manpower on one continent is not a good strategy.This time I disbanded most of my divisions for manpower and invaded Australia first. Australia is easily defensible, like in Risk, and the resources in the area are disproportionate to the effort it takes to get them.
>>520002085Wrong general, tranny. Go to >>>/trash/shitgame/, it's a better fit for your reddit-tier blogging.
The first time you capture a naval base you also capture all the techs associated with them, it's rather funny.
This time around I spare nothing on North America. 104 divisions still felt like too little. This time will be better, right?
>>519959573you're thinking of the mission where you play as arkantos but you destroy atlantis
>>520002392Wrong general, tranny. Are you retarded, on top of being a nazi?
You basically get dropped directly on top of your targets with overwhelming numbers. Market Garden could never
>>520002449shut the fuck up, you are literally encouraging him
Last invasion wave.Adding more divisions helped last time so surely even more will be better this time!
>>520002753Wrong general, tranny. How do you do since your mother killed herself?>>520002647You're not gonna shut up me, tranny.>inb4 b-b-b-but please be nice to the poor /gsg/ger that I feel like defending!
For some reason they all drop on a narrow strip of land in France. Why? The other drops are split between different regions. Is it vanilla code reusual?
wow look at this asshole insulting someone's mom for no reason
>>520002775yeah, because calling him a tranny for the past hour has clearly worked, right? you need to learn to report and ignore
The nice thing about having a hundred fifty divisions is that you can basically just walk wherever you want and nothing can stop you.
>>520003051You sound upset, /gsg/ger. Couldn't stand it anymore and had to cry out, huh.
At this point the bottleneck isn't numbers but attention span and AI. Supposedly there is a very good front system that automates this. I have not seen it work myself.It doesn't help that the enemy can tear your lines open across an entire continent and there is NOTHING to tell you this.
>>520003440Wrong general, tranny. Also your last remaining relatives are all ashamed of you.
>>519862618>>519861264>>519861037>>519859207I'm playing it right now and my main gripe is how weak the gods are at the start. These supposed divinities are barely stronger than common soldiers. I think your basic Warcraft III heroes felt stronger compared to common troops. Also the game refers to them as "heroes" when they die. Does it mean there are going to be heroes other than gods?
It really is quite hypnotic when you gather all of your units in one blob, draw a line somewhere and hit 'aggressive'. It reminds me of watching a slime mold spread across a table.
>>520003609Yes. There is the Bishop. He's a hero, but he doesn't fight, and if he dies, he's replaced by another bishop with another name. He has the best economical bonuses, though.
YEEEHAW
This is the mod's biggest problem, aside from the game it's based on: you can blob across literal continents on a Genghis Khan scale in days and yet you are nowhere close to winning. HoI4 was based around WWII scales, it doesn't expect you to do world conquests as a minimum victory condition.
Also, the one thing the mod doesn't tell you: the Federation has multiple ports from the space to ground map that work like teleporting, and they also control the space map. That means that they can teleport their entire army anywhere they want and the only way to stop them is to either take all of the spaceport locations or conquer Earth orbit. Neither of these are very difficult but the game doesn't tell you any of it, meanwhile the enemy will magically shift their entire army across the entire globe.
>>520004443>Also, the one thing the mod doesn't tell you:How to read OP instead of trannying?
An example of the "walk across an entire continent" thing I mentioned earlier. It may be inevitable when the entire army consists of spearheads with nobody to hold them.
>>520004478Nazis can't read, it's a well-known fact.
Overall, not bad at all for three months.

>>520023054lmaoooooo look at this turtlefag
>>520001276>>520001352>Are there any that addressed how much tanneries stunk?Go figure"Bating is a technical term used in the tanning industry to denote leather that has been treated with hen or pigeon manure, similar to puering where the leather has been treated with dog excrement, and which treatment, in both cases, was performed on the raw hide prior to tanning in order to render the skins, and the subsequent leather, soft and supple. Today, both practices are obsolete and have been replaced in the tanneries with other natural proteolytic enzymes."tldr. Because literal dog or bird shit
>>520026685>villager gets new leather shoes>"ugh, these are so hard and uncomfortable">steps in dog shit>"could this day get any worse?!">takes a few steps>shoes suddenly feel more comfortable>looks back at the pile of stinking dog shit, as a spark of genius flashes through his mindThe rest, as they say, is history...

Are there any decent 4x games comming out this summer? Feels like a dry year
>>520036790Nope.

>>520042741Why stop there?
>>520036790What kind of game do you like? There's all kinds of small games in early development. There were a lot of good 4x games last few years. You're already done with all of those?!
How do you prefer your borders? Dynamic or static?
>>520049964Dynamic for me but it is annoying if it's based on influence or culture or something like that. Dynamic but you have to claim places and those claims then have to be backed up.
>>520049964I wish more games did neutral zones between borders, where skirmishes would happen without open war.
>>520059165Endless space 2 has this mostly in the early game, when colonizing systems you can blockade systems to hinder the colonization process of other players. In star ruler each planet starts with a buch of letters and numbers for a name and your claim to it is stronger once you can give it an actual name.
Welp, pol is down, hopefully they clog up /v/ instead of us.

>>520152385no money
>>520152636Oh okay. In that case I'll try to remind you but I wouldn't know how to pirate games anymore. Too risky. By the way the Zenox also have had their ship set upgraded, this is the old one. Don't know what the new one will exactly look like, probably only minor changes.

>>520153953>Genuine question, what does it have over Stellaris?Size of the map. Systems and the galaxy are really big in DW2. Number of stars might roughly be the same but because of the size it is really difficult to get from one end to the other. Early game most empires are isolated because of the huge distances. The combat in DW2 is also better I think. Ships have fixed weapon slots but they all come with their own firing arc making ships or shipsets suited for different combat styles.>And what might Stellaris have over it if you experienced both games I guessWhat stellaris has over DW is probably that the factions and quests are more moldable. It's easier to project your own fantasy on them. Stellaris is also better suited to create your own empires from the different building blocks the game gives the player. It's also very nice that lot's of the 'wonders' you can build in Stellaris are actual space structutes you can see in the game, rather than some 2d art in a planet menu. The soundtrack of stellaris is also a lot better I think.
>>520153953Scaling is very different.Remember how in Stellaris you could have battleships that are bigger than some planets? Not in DW2.Also, there are no star lanes, everything works on warp travel.Also you have the whole fuel economy to worry about, ships can't travel beyond their maximum fuel capacity and need to refuel from time to time.Also you must mine the fuel and build stations that can provide said fuel to ships. Your civilian ships will also burn fuel.
>>520155685>Scaling is very different.Yeah I do like the scaling of DW over Stellaris but I still think that planets and other celestial bodies sould still be bigger.>>520153953Stellaris has better lighting effects. Even though it's an old game now it is still one of the better looking space strategy games. The UI of stellaris is horrible I think, way too bloated with unimportant stuff.
Is there any Stellaris mod that removes all niggers from the human race?I currently just fire them, but it removes 50% of my leader pool.
>>520160009If I can't mod this yourself, you are not white.
>>520160009Please do not be racist in /civ4xg/.
>>520162912fair point 2bh
>>520160009There used to be, but they got/get deleted off steam every time they appear.
>>520163135Surely you have played enough to realise some races are simply objectively better than others?
>>520133895Does DW2 let you make sex slaves of other races so I can make humanity bigger by destroying all alien worlds except their homeworlds which I leave as sex tourism destinations for the nobility of my glorious human empire, vgh?
>>520168218Tourism is a feature, but different types of slavery and genociding aren't.
>>520168326>genociding aren'tWait what? I was just talking shit but is conquest in DW2 strictly taking over alien worlds and there's no option for wiping them out for your own nerds? That's surprising
>>520162912>>520163135I'm white and I simply find it unimmersive to have this political stuff in my escapism game.>>520163821Wasn't that one just a mod to only generate germanic/LoGH names?I haven't played Stellaris in a few years.
>>520168912It's been ages since I last played.It could be that it works like Sword of the stars where you automatically purge ayy lmaos if you don't understand their language, or it could be the aliens on conquered worlds just become alien citizens to your empire.I think it works more like the latter, I at least recall there being alien pops on alien planets I conquered.If you want to go full ayy lmao delenda est, your best option is the latest DLC, which added planet killers.>>520169412I don't think they have deleted any name mods, I do remember there being a shitshow some years back when they deleted the whites only skin mod.
>>520169992>Sword of the starsI hate to say it but I'm more likely to reinstall and play that than DW2 most likely. I've always been of the MoO1 mind where galactic emperors shouldn't concern themselves with building farms on individual planets and instead you just have a few sliders to just shit, and SotS1 is pretty good about that as well as having very satisfying space battles
>>52016999250 news articles and no download link for "Whites Only Mod" on Google.Very sad!
>>520170413You googlefu is weak, you are probably a zoomer.
>>520170687I'm a baby and want to be spoonfed a suitable mod.
>>520168912never played 2 but if they didn't change it from DWU you can exterminate, enslave, relocate or accept the ayys
>>520106696Eeeeeh. No. In a most hilarious, I think Trump might cuck me on this. With all the political crap going on and a return of the Irak War hatred for French people, I'm hesitating whether or not to really come visit the US.
>>520125915I said strategy. With ressources, building fortress, spamming black mages, then get demolished by chocobo knight and dragoons.>>520143147There's an unit designer in 2150?
>>520185481she's american? forget it spidey, she's trying to scam you
redpill me on the starcraft 2 community, been interested in the game lately and caught some content creators on youtube, after watching a couple hours of them i decided to look them up and immediately seen a barrage of comments about them "smurfing" and viewbotting lol, i played a lot of starcraft remastered recently by myself and had fun and want to go the next step and play sc2 online but it almost seems like ill just get stomped even at lower levels because of smurfing for content etc
>>520190681it's not impossible that you'll be up against a smurfer, but pretty unlikely. there are still thousands of SC2 players
Francis Dec was right.>>520186507It's a risk.
>>520198481who?>Francis Edward Dec (January 6, 1926 – January 21, 1996) was an American lawyer best known for typewritten diatribes that he independently mailed and published from the late 1960s until his death. His works are characterized by conspiracy theories and highly accusatory and vulgar attacks, often making use of conglomerate phrases like "Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God"[1] to slander people, groups, or companies that he believed were engaging in electronic harassment against him, and gained a cult following from the mid-1980s onward due to his comedic incoherence. >Four billion worldwide population—all living—have a Computer God Containment Policy Brain Bank Brain, a real brain, in the Brain Bank Cities on the far side of the moon we never see.

>>520199216malls exist in france, there's probably one in your city
>>520199510Not in the same scope. And they're not exactly malls, you don't live there to meet your chums. Instead, you go there, buy your stuff, and leave. I heard American malls are on several floors.
I should give DWU another go>>520199670your idea of malls is 15 years out of date, they're dying out in north americaand besides, this "centre commercial grand quartier" place seems like a pretty big mall
Hello, I want to optimize my ship design, so I do testing by using the "attackallfleets" command. But it started to be buggy (my empire was automatically destroyed).

I really need to get some simple 4x to play when i get tired of Aurora..
I'm reinstalling cities skylineslook forward to some blogposting of a poorly designed city with minimum quality screenshots
>>520264170I'll hold you up to that promise.
well the game didn't crash on loading so that's a good start
>>520208932Are you fighting actual people with brains or just AI? Because those have wildly different priorities and resultsI can already tell you>Corvette- flak and laser, 1 shield 2 armor>(Beating every single Corvette design I test)This is false. Flak is useless and wasted slots until you go up against missiles or strike craft. AI tend to mix their loadouts enough this is still a safe bet, but human players can just counter it by skipping out by just dropping another laser in and out damaging you
>>520267730this is my first project. what kind of janky highway interchange is this?
>>520267810I tested it. Flak vs 3 lasers. Flak win.Mind you, it's all in the same alloy cost.
>>520268037ugly, but usable.
So how's 4.0 Stellaris??
>>520208932>>520268059This was solved over two years ago. Space fauna shook it up, but now bioships will crack the meta wide open. I'll laugh if basic bitch ships are still kingStellaris had a decent Corvette balance metagame2 laser 1 flak beats 3 missile spam3 lasers beats the 2-1 balance3 missiles beats the 3 lasers due to shield bypass and better accuracy of missiles at the beginning of the gameAll this is to bide time and tech up for shit like better lasers and bigger ship designs. No one is using mass drivers, so no one is upgrading their flak. Engineering is the most important research because it's an arms race to survice until you unlock cruisers. On the physics side, you want disruptors. AI players get fucked by disruptors early/midgame. Disruptor spam will melt them, and most human builds, until they slap on hardening modules to neuter your disruptors by forcing them to chew through armor/shields. A smart guy could also put together like a missile cruiser to out range disruptors and kite all over the fucking solar systemStar bases are meaty enough to laugh at disruptors but that's where your frigates come in. Just spec them purely to assfuck star bases. Drop them once you have cruisers. Strike craft cruisers can just park out of range and practically siege them. Destroyers are decent at taking damage, and loading flak, but you'll have little use for them outside flak pickets once cruisers roll inI don't care if something here is outdated, I took a break for a long fucking time from Stellaris and I'll only touch it again to keep making funny alien megacorps to mess with my friend
>>520269214it's alllll coming together>>520269897not released yet
>>520268059>>520270582>I tested it. Flak vs 3 lasers. Flak win.>Mind you, it's all in the same alloy cost.FUCK FAIR FIGHTS A little detail that was missed. The same alloy cost implies you're not using blue lasersBlue lasers are the bare minimum research needed to guarantee fucking up your first neighbor and kicking them in the nuts. You take that, and immediately start planning a war with the first dude you see. Why blue lasers? Because it's on the path to disruptors, and your engineering research is spent on propulsion and bigger ships. If you get UV lasers early instead, you can still laugh and melt everything so long as you don't run into anything shield heavyAI will not follow any solved meta, it will just research whatever, but will do it way faster than you if you're playing on a higher difficulty. That's why you want to stab your neighbor as soon as you research a weapon tech that helps you to do that, steal their land, then snowball. Using physics for your ship weapons is just the most convenient path. Using tier 1 flak early is still good paired with tier 2 lasers, if your enemy is using missiles it can save a lot of grief, and ships. Does this all seem extremely autistic? That's because it is. Just know that more autistic people solved this for us over a year ago. It's not worth caring about unless you're fighting high difficult AI or god forbid, competitive Stellaris multiplayer
>>520268059Neat!
>>520272493>not released yetOh okay
when will something happen in evil genius 2isn't there supposed to be like, enemy agents or something?literally no challenge
>>520274670Flak gives 100% damage to the shield (or just 75% if you include the penetration). This is why 1 shield 2 armour beat 2 shields 1 armour in the same alloy cost.I play in GA; since I met a federation enemy who has a 5K fleet each in 2212, I gave up and played admiral. I hate luck-based gameplay.I tested autistically blue laser vs red laser.The red laser is better because the earlier you can rush, the better. I watched the MP tournament, and it seems 2212 is when someone started to spam ships.So killing overpowered origins in 2209 with red laser is better than doing it in 2213 with blue laser.I will test it again later to make sure.You forgot the society research which give 100 ship starting experience (+10% damage).
>>520282208Have you advanced on your missions at all?
What are some of the best mods for civ 6? I like the game so nothing that changes too much, some quality of life or new civs that integrate well would be good. Are there even bigger map types than Huge as a mod? I like beeg map with max city states and civs.
>>520290139the uninstall mod
>>520290139There ate several ui mods I think are a package now that do stuff like tell you the effects of a civic change, let you place pins better, and help the tech tree and city screens not be a cluster fuck.

shitlaris dev diary, talking about the biogenesis DLChttps://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/developer-diary/stellaris-dev-diary-378-genetic-ascension-traditions-and-advanced-governments.1734089/
I still can't believe that after all this time we still can't fucking terraform the Bedrock/Tunnel tiles in AOW 4. It's by far the one thing fucking up any underground run and it's maddening. It's literally the one thing that would fix all the problems players have been complain about since day 1. Have they ever stated a reason for not changing it? The new Dungeon tome is really cool and I love the idea of it. But it's so fucking hard to get any good cities down there besides your starting capital due to so much non-occupiable terrain. Do I really have to mod the game to fix this?
>>520337809I remember subverting that problem by casting that forest terraform spell in those regions, that actually solved all these problems even if the results looked weird when you expanded there to cramp a lumber mill in a tiny space. But that was like, day one stuff and they patched that long ago
I tried multiple times.Flak+2 blue laser always win against 3 blue laser.Ten out of ten.1 flak equal to 2 red lasers in pure damage. That's why.>>520274670Blue laser is also bad in the early game because 4 pops you use to research means 4 pops less for alloy production. Researching blue laser mean you have 10 less ships.blue laser wins against red laser when it is 3 ships different (42 blue laser vs 39 red laser). Below that, red laser win. 10% damage from ship experience from society research not even worth 1 ship because damage bonuses are already high (no retreat +33%, militarist ethic +10%, commander level and skill, excess power, etc).So +10% damage is just +2% or something.
>>520334956Me neither but I'll persist through the comfy ones even if it's suboptimal a la dawn of man or surviving mars
>>520352158I mean 42 red vs 39 blue.Not just 4 pops doing research, but the mineral cost for research building equal to 1 ship, and the time to build it for a year. It's not even guaranteed you will get the blue laser at the start anyway.Research is for economy like capacity subsidies, and mining subsidies, which we have plenty of edfundsfund from high ruler level (distinguished admiralty+warbots), and domination later on.But i would rather colonize 2 guaranteed homeworld than researching them.

>>520352668That's why I prefer RTS. Just a shame that Age of Darkness is not very good.
>>520364318isn't age of darkness just a crappy version of they are billions?

Age of wonders 4 worth the asking price?
>>520377757Hold on, there's a Greek one?
>>520382278Yup. You can build temples, make sacrifices to the gods, recruit legendary greek heroes and send them out to battle hydras n shit. In addition to the normal city building, of course.Where have you been that you missed this one?
>>520377757Pharaoh is king
>>520382714My father has Caesar 3. So I've been playing Caesar 3 for decades. I only recently learned about Pharaoh (meh), and Emperor (good).
>>520382278there's greece, rome, china, atlantis, sumeria and steampunk that I know of
>>520382884I tried the steampunk, I really disliked it. Reeks of DEI.
>>520383917steampunk is reddit/faggot coded so it checks out
>>520384420Is it? What a shame, I found the style pretty cool. Then again, I find big gears kinda relaxing to watch.
>>520384420The fashion thing where they just wear goggles with a couple of gears glued to it? That is gay.But Arcanum and Rise of Legends? They were good.
>>520384768Y'know I'd find Steampunk a lot more enjoyable if it was real. This is just "pick random stuff, put it on hat, and pretend it's real" LARPing shit.Reminds me that dude at the Japan Expo who walked around in military fatigue and spoke of his experience shooting people. I had to interrogate him for a long time before he admited it was paintball.
>have a lovely little Nya Sverige going on in Civ4Col We the People mod>relations have degraded with natives simply due to me growing large>almost every turn a raid on some settlement>so many slaves captured I'll have to buy more overseers and slave hunters because I can't settle any more of them in my capitalGods I hate slaves with their escapes.
>>520381863I still think it's steep but the game has a lot more meat to it now. Even with just the free updates they tuned a lot of shit, but obviously the best junk is still behind the DLCIt has a good bit of replay value if you like making fantasy civs of 'your dudes'
>>520386663Even a rapist lesbian civ that aim to capture and enslave elves before dragging them to the city's brothels for unspeakable tortures?
>>520386068the original idea of it is a kind of 19th century retrofuturism, where all the crazy ideas they thought of back then actually came true
>>520386068Don't dismiss his war trauma. Every time he closes his eyes at night, he can see the colours and hear the laughter.
>>520387035Don't know if they cracked it in the workshop so you can run single sex armies. I say that SHOULD be a base feature though. Get on it devsTheres a basic bitch alignment system as a relic of older AoW games but it still helps measure up how many war crimes you committed next to your neighbor. It's not hard to get to pure evil.Chaos affinity has plenty of options to give incentive and reward for a good old pillage. Trashing cities gets you extra population as one unlockable feature I thinkAnd pillaging provinces is apparently an evil act, so i just naturally assume whatever midgets I'm leading that day are committing the wholesome tradition of burn and rapeKind of fucking annoying though when I'm trying to be a paragon about to lay siege but they still have a spell jammer build
>>520386068>Reminds me that dude at the Japan Expo who walked around in military fatigue and spoke of his experience shooting people. I had to interrogate him for a long time before he admited it was paintball.

>>520390592... so is there a mod that let me invade it and kill everyone?
>>520390721I'm afraid not
>>520389545I don't know what the game's mod scene is like. I never got bored enough to look at it. I imagine it's mostly people inserting new tome research to give themselves OP shit.Coombrain or no, leading or fighting an army of just women is a common enough fantasy that the game should let you do that. It doesn't yet, so it fails there.All the evil and enslaving shit, yeah that's base game shit still. Though mainly the majority of evil acts I do is repeatedly evicting established populations from conquered cities to move in my own chosen people. That's been a thing since AoW1, even if the optics and consequences change you're still forming a Trail of Tears.

watAll he has to do is move down? And it's not even a stalemate!
>congrats, you won!I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW I WONTHE KNIGHT DOESN'T ATTACK PIECES ON HIS PATH, ONLY THE DESTINATION
I think I have enough bricks to last me a while
Holy cow, I love Unification.
>>520528145you are a cow
>>520520578Been a while, but basically knights move 1 space in one direction and 2 in a different one. Normally that's an L shape, but here it can also move through time, 2 spaces up and one space "back". The king can't escape because it can't change the past, so it's mate.>>520520785Same with this one, except it's going 2 up and then 1 "sideways" into an alternate timeline. As you might've guessed from these puzzles, the easiest way to win in these is to attack pieces in the past, because they can't move away.
>>520533310Nope, sorry, I still don't get it. At no point in time is the black king in range of the knight. It should be on either side of the two Ls.
>>520533704You're still thinking in 2D. Pieces here are no longer restricted to left right up down. Alternate timelines are essentially 1 square away, so the knight there moves 2 up and 1 "sideways" into that timeline. If that knight was where the white pawn or king was, it wouldn't be mate because it can't reach the black king. It might help if you imagine it like a 3D box, where each square is a cube and each board is stacked on top of each other. They can either be stacked left to right if you're going back in time, or top to bottom if you're going into other timelines.

the game you're picturing is called stellaris, it's really cool, i actually think more people should play it but.

has anyone tried out the alpha test for the against the storm dlc with bat people
how do i get into 4x games man, i really want to play total war but i have no idea wtf im doing in the overworld
>>520646365Build buildings that give money and resources, build units, take over other cities, repeat.
>>520646365Go to /twg/, they know them better than we do.
In what way is this cloister not fucking enclosed?I tried replacing the Entrance on the back of the building with a door, didn't work either.What the hell does the game consider "enclosed"?
>>520648707Is it the little red arrows?
>>520649674The arrows are really glitchy and untrustworthy, you can see some on the right that belong to nothing, they're just there for some reason.
>>520649970What the fuck. Sounds like a bug.
>>520648707it's most likely too small. They used to have a tooltip about the size as you make it - don't know if it's still there as I haven't done a monastery at all yet since the release. Your best option is to put a door on an existing building and build the cloister around that. All four sides don't need to be made up of the segment pieces.
Bump. Good night.

I've expanded a little bit. Primarily a small mining town springing up because I needed to make a swordsmithy.Now - spear soldiers will obviously still be the mission company. The sword company I'm making will be given patrol duty.
>>520676723I've been referring to it as Ferriton. The villagers, to my chagrin, have been building along the back edge of the residential blob I put down.
>>520676972I don't know how I feel about the way villagers create their own paths and build organically. It's nice, but there's a constant worry they're going to fuck up my very specific vision.
>>520678126Them making the paths and all that is why I like the game - no, I just didn't want them leaving a big empty lawn in the middle and forcing me to fill it out with decorations.

>>520678394Maximum everything, of course.

>>520683473Yes the yellow stuff.
Since I changed computers, I'm now wondering whether or not it's worth it to reinstall Stellaris, or if I shpuld try out either Endless Space instead.
>>520688863stellaris is getting a big update in a month, reinstall it then
>>520680934I'm buying bread at the moment because frankly - I feel like it. My people get lots of good iron and fat-rich BOAR.I can't unlock dairy yet so we can't go full Mongol.
>>520693798Ah, yeah you can get arround making a lot of things if you have a very profitable export.
>>520688863I shunned Stellaris for months to play other shit, eventually including Endless Legend/Endless Space 2. Gud fun. I'll touch Stellaris once the big update hits in a month, see what's new and what they fuck up, but right now it makes sense to just enjoy other thingsYou could skip Endless Space 1 since 2 basically is a more refined version with more features. Some factions didn't make it from 1 to 2 but that's about it
>>520698079Stellaris is a joke.
>>520698079Some people prefer Endless Space 1 because of it being more concise.
>>520693798BOAR!!!
>>520133895I tried distant worlds 2 but for some reason I can't get as into it was universe. It irritates my autism that planets dont orbit
What the fuck is wrong with my economy, it keeps oscillating between +60 and -300 energy credits every few months.
It was the federation's fucking fleet contribution. Fuck this fedefaggots I'm out.
>>520049964Pox upon paradox for abandoning this type of border and the multiple types of FTL.
>>520707112What is the added value of having orbiting planets? (Did stations also orbit? I've never played Universe.) Once you have anything but the lowest warp drive isn't it irrelevant where a planet is? The combat simulation of DW2 does have more depth than 1 because the weapons fire from specific positions according to specific arcs. In DW1 all weapon fire originated from the centre of the ship.
>>520708342federations are based
>>520717750until the eye get hold of the presidency and ruins everyone buy centralizing power around itself for 10 years.
>>520709259Looking good and making battle more engaging since your ressources nodes will move further away from you over time.
>>520707112Have you played Terra Invicta?
>>520731378Looks like literaly shit.
>>520737608It's AI.
>>520737608>>520759941People need to stop insulting AI's drawing. This is the kind of thing that's going to make it go rogue.
>>520759941It's kinda funny that the prompt is probably something like "holding a lamp"
>>520760728Then maybe AI should do our job instead of attempting to steal our art.
>>520761486Then people would be whining about AI stealing their jobs.
>>520762101Then maybe big corps should stop trying to replace people with AI.
>>520762298Then maybe you should stop being so useless that we can replace you.
>>520763925>weBeing part of a $1.1 trillion welfare system doesn't mean you represent a big corporation.
>>520765510I wasn't talking about them.
>>520763925>weYou and what big corporation that you imagine to be on your side?
Imagine a world with good 4x games.
>>520766861Not that guy but presumably all the ones that develop and use AI, if you got fired then your boss.
>>520761486It's genuinely hilarious that all of these AI fags used to use the argument that>once ai does all the boring and shitty jobs, we humans can all be LE CREATIVE and make art ALL DA-AAACCKKKKKand art is the FIRST thing AI is going after lmao
>>520767647And this is the exact reason why I did a 180° on AI and hate it.And the other reason? PRICES HAVEN'T GONE DOWN! Corps fired artists to replace them by AI because it's cheaper but they're still billing us the full prices. This is why I pirate. If I'm not getting paid to do art, then I'm not paying you.
>>520767785Why would you have expected prices to drop lol?That's literally never how it works. Not in normal capitalism or the fake retarded jewish capitalism that exists right nowPrice is (supposedly) determined by supply and demand. If people stop paying for bullshit they don't need like vidya, then companies will have to lower prices. But people still buy games at high prices because they don't understand that simple concept. So prices will never drop.
>>520687015I always end up with sizeable parts of the field that don't get wheat, even though it counts it as "adequately sized"Really good looking town!

>>520760728It literally isn't Artificial Intelligence. Stop falling for the psyop.
>>520782879lol no>>520784543What's that one like?
>>520792834You see everything from the top (there are other views, but the top one is the best), and you mine asteroids to build stuff on your starbase. It's been decades since I played, but I remember you hold right click when ordering a movement to tell units where to go on a Y scale.Quite the odd game, because I never quite figured it out: you have limited manpower, no clue how to get more people, and since objects move around, your starting asteroid slowly drifts away.And also I remember ordering a giant capital ship to ram a smaller ship, and it exploded and died. Then again, I had no fucking idea what I was doing because I barely spoke English then.
>page 10
...fuck do I do? I get I'm meant to build monolith on the mana fonts and make creatures, but my monsters get killed by even randoms, is it normal? And also I lose every fight against the AI.

How close is Stellaris to Civ IV?It's the only 4X game I've really played. The only other Paradox game I've played was EU3 and that was only for around 2 games of about 6 hours each. One as Portugal raping the Americas and one as Britain raping the French and most of EuropeIs the tutorial in Stellaris worth leaving on?is Medium size still going to slow down after a few hours if I have a high end PC
>>520809112>How close is Stellaris to Civ IV?not similar at allthe game is getting a big update in may so you might want to hold off learning it until then
>>520809219How big of an update? Like 'shit will change and you'll learn new strategies to play it' or 'fundementally the mechanics o the base gameplay will change and everyone and their mods are fucked'
>>520809643the latter. they're completely overhauling how pops and planetary management works
>>520809770Ah fuckI was looking forward to playing with that gigstructures mod eventuallyI'll hold I suppose and probably try learn HoI4 or EU4 and rape the world
>>520806826>the /4xg/ meetup is going to see spiderfag tied to a table and fucked by everyoneHis moaning in French will be delicious. I'll bring a little beaker to measure how much precum drips from stimulating his prostate.

tfw trying something I learned from polymorph's own promotional material for Foundation.stone fence in front of the light fortification wall looks p.neat
>>520871885There's enough houses down right now that when the wall's finished it can upgrade to a capacity of like 120 people in medium density. I'm gonna try and keep the actual town itself small as I can. The last section of wall is waiting for me to build a tavern/inn. Other than that it's all just waiting for trade to make me enough money to buy up the surrounding tiles so I can push out to things like wheat farming.
>>520854713Neutrals almost always win thanks to the powercreep that's been creepin in and the neutral party is set based on absolute strength thresholds so all the AI's always choose it. Stellaris has lot of this kind of lingering issues in it that could use a rebalance.
And the wall is done.
>>520892085I like spying on my villagers in their day-to-day stuff

X4: Foundations is kinographyif you like space, try it.
>>520919124Isn't it a flight simulator rather than a strategy game?
>>520927486Lol, no. You can just choose to do that at the same time if you want.Maybe early on more so. But the mid/late game looks like that screenshot 90% of the time.
>>520927486The game really builds in complexity the more you get into it. You can just fly around. You can hunt pirates, bully the factions, fight aliens, etc. You could do it alone or buy a fleet of ships. You can trade alone, or buy a fleet of trade ships.Or you can go balls to the wall. Build huge factory space stations complete with long production chains, supply them with raw minerals mined from asteroids. Build your own warships and take over entire sectors.It's a shame that when you do this, you do have to look at the ugly map most of the time.
>>520927695>>520929410Oh okay.Sounds really boring.
>>520933439>Sounds really boring.If you are retarded then yes its boring.
>>520933780R u implicating that eye'm an retard??????TRUMP willn't let it slide!! This is slender!!!1111!!!
>>520933439Oh and most of the game's economy is simulated. That is to say, things have to be manufactured and shipped around.So you can cut off factions supply lines. Either to weaken and invade them or to corner the market.
>>520935651Oh so kinda like Underspace, prices lower when you sell and raise when you buy.Aka FUCK YOU economy.

>>520892085Nice wall. Is it a double wall? The wooden and the stone one?
AoW4 talk good here? What do y'all do for your nature/druid runs? Animals seem really bad
>>520937790yeah, you build the village fortification wall then put up the stone fence along the outside
>>520935914Just establish yourself as your own supplier, that's how I did X3's hub missions.
>>520940196Yeah that's welcome here. It's either here or /vst/.I don't know too much about nature builds right now. Been trying out underground stuff and seeing what synergize with the Dungeon tome. I ran nature builds near the game's release, and I like the city buffing stuff a lot, and their empire development options. But animal units don't feel that rewardingThat tier five tome to give everyone nature damage crit and blight across the board is neat, but you either have to go full plant or full dragons.Maybe dragons is more viable for solid nature than animals
>>520933780I guess it's not for you, I'm personally loving it more every hour I play.
>>520940196I don't like animals either.Anyway nature helps to make big cities but your eventual win condition is making your entire race plants and using the tier 5 tome to revive all plants in battle, a combo that doesn't even work with summoned animals
>>520940304Nice it looks really great.
>>520943141dungeon is really goodmy go-to is primal spiders, tome of discipline (Focus aim is good, as is empowered strikes; Mantra of purification is good too), enchantment, dungeon tome, whatever, then tier 3 you can grab the dreadnaught book and get a SPI that grants +2 ranks to recruited constructs.With a smith's guild and a rank 4 recruit governer, you can get champion (+1 range on arblests) tier 3 units and pump one out every turn. My actual problem is finding a decent support for them, but they can get so tanky with the Legion passive + leadership abilities that you can almost skimp out on healing.You *can* skimp out once you hit tome of prosperity with Blessed Armor but you gotta figure out a way to sneak in some extra affinities to unlock it
Bump
>>520951131>I don't like animals eitherWell maybe they don't like you either.
>>520961649Dungeon just looks cool to me, and doubling down on being a basement dwelling civ. I haven't used the clay soldiers much yet but I love these province buildings, and the enchantment is a flat out buff for everyoneI tried the discipline tome elsewhere but didn't figure any real combo with it yet. Now I DID get lucky unlocking Prosperity in my current run with some underground industrial dorfs, but this is all partially because I lucked out finding the Crystal dwelling immediately and buying that first artifact that gives free affinity
>spider talking backCorrection needed.
Eat shit, Grey Knights.
>>520981358How you liking Unification?
>>520983819Feels very hit or miss. Vostroyans and Praetorian Guard are meh, but I like the Steel Regiment and I utterly love the new Imperial Guard.Some factions like the Mechanicus or the Daemons are a bit shit because of their morale-reliant mechanics, making them weak to snipers and flamethrowers, and while I really like the Imperial Fist, I am very confused that their ultimate building is Ghostbuster's Michelin Man.A lot of decisions are very, very strange, too, like resurrecting the Shogunate insurgency, but giving them anime characters.Or sneak in references to the Pact of Blood but not making them playable?

i hate zombies, took like 4 tries until i remembered deep down in my memories "what is a magikill???"
>>520984718Yeah that's how I felt, too many redundant guard and ynnari felt as lazy as tabletop but raven guard, death guard, krieg, 13th company and farsight were all tons of fun.
Anyone play emperor of the fallen sun
I need an input. Am I doing something wrong so far?2200-2210: maximizing my fleet power2210-now: conquest nonstop, Vassalize far away empire (influence limit, only take the capital), then conquest again.I am tired of war. I only build 2 outpost starbases for connecting trade routes and 0 colony ships.When will the war end?
>>521039354Why outpost alloy cost is so darn expensive anyway? I would rather make 5 more ships rather than 4 more outposts.There is absolutely no reason to expand the outpost when we can take it from people for free.Also, transcendental learning is retardedly overrated. My empire size is 440. Should have taken imperial prerogative first and then consecrated world (I have no money to colonize anyway)
>>521035843Nope, sorry mate.
>>521039354learn to take a fucking screenshot
>>521039354>I am tired of warYou are weak.
>>521039354>I am tired of warWar is the only option on higher difficulties
>>521034750For me, Imperial Guard, Tyranids and Imperial Fists are my favourite so far. I tried Krieg and kinda liked it, but I prefer the Steel Battalion.But yeah, as much as I love the Imperial Guard, they clearly get too much love.It doesn't help that Vostroyans and Praetorian Guards feel like parodies.

EU4 or HoI4?New to this shit and just want something where I can commit global rape of the entire worldor at least not lose a game in an hour
>>521087898>New to this shit>or at least not lose a game in an hour>EU4 or HoI4?I have bad news for you.Anyone I would pick HoI4 as the more accesible one. They dumbed it down a lot and casualized a lot of the mechanics compared to HoI3, EU4 will be harder.Also in HoI4 you can kill a lot more people.
>>521089456I did play EU3 as Aragon once, years ago and had fun but didn't like how after I took like 8 areas, I could only claim 3 or something to end the wayTried HOI3 but the fucking thing filtered the fuck out of me with the army builder thing

Anyways, who else's empire looks like this?
>>521113107I dunno increase the hyperlanes before generating a galaxy or play a space game with free movement. Why would you expect other results with a game that hasn't changed that much at its core after they ditched some things that were too hard.
real heroes build civilization
>>521113107You're playing according to meta, so nothing wrong there.
>>521109747Does your cpu melt after 300 dudes still?
>>521134012not him but my CPU melts at 0 dudesand they're never going to fix it
Bump.Also try American Conquest, it's fun.
>>521142617Fuck yeah Conquest
Good morning fuckos!
>>521113107>>2243>still under 3k fleet powerDo you know that starbases don't cost alloy?Vassalize -> integrate
>>521113107I'm bad at stellaris but isn't it supposed to? You expand to important systems and chokepoints then slowly fill it out later.
>>521142617>two big towers with road between them>no walls/pallisade, just row of housesIt feels wrongt. Total War fag
hello from /gsg/
I forgot I was played Endzone.
game is basically banished but on easy mode
3/3
shtormindo we have a release date for the DLC?
Playing some AOW4 now that Underground empires are finally great, and the new society trait that makes excavation give double resource nodes is really strong. But I have one problem, for some fucking reason every single sun loving faggot suddenly decies to just dump their fucking outpost with no rhyme or reason everywhere in my cozy fucking caves... REEEE FUCK OFF OVERDWELLERS GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT!!!Leave me the fuck alone and let me tend to my mushroom forest in peace for fucks sake
>>521190968>UndergroundFuck yeah>AI building outposts Fuck no. Murder emYeah this has always been their general behavior I feel. Even allies do it, but at least they usually place teleporters and didn't boom into more cities next to mine. It's more noticable for underground because we have more limited space for real estateGod the civic trait and Dungeon tome make me want to make a map wide Moria with every culture. This is what the game did to me now. I want to run each of them as a tunnel snake empire just to see what can synergize with their basement dwelling
What are some "historical" games with rare factions?
In CoE5 how do I find the castle in Hades? Is making the Baron "King of the Underworld" any different from making him "King of the Surface"?
>>521200225Pfffffffffffffffffffffff.Isn't map generation random in CoE? I vaguely remember reading that planes are mirrors of each others, so maybe head toward the human capital?
>>521200453It really is just a mirror of the living world. So find where the capital is on surface and shift to Hades.
>>521200875This? Isn't the capital the Senator's thing? I'm looking for ways to make the Baron king when the King's Castle doesn't spawn.
>>521201828King's Castle and the Capital serve the same purpose as far as I know.
>>521200225There's also a castle in the Celestial Plane.
>>521201828I thought you needed a capital, not a castle?
>>521194643It's really fun! And I do enjoy just minding my own business down there most of the time. Currently I am trying out Primal-Spider culture with a heavy emphasis on Food and a bit of materium going for huge Mushroom/Dungeon tiles.The Feudal rework is really neat too. The only thing I still wish we had gotten was some way to remove Bedrock using the final tomes And about the AI settling in stupid ways, I had one settle and outpost and make a City only able to expand a single tile being surrounded by my borders.. Glad to hear im not the only one having fun though!
>>521134012Mine doesn't and I have over 400. It gets warm but far from extreme. It got a lot better with the 1.0 version and after that there were some minor improvements.
>>521194643Just look at this...
>>521204896That's for the Senator(lame). The Baron(cool) needs a King's Castle.>>521202923I didn't have enough trebuchets. I can't beat god
>>520451097This game looks awfully convoluted. Am I getting the wrong impression of it?
>>521210870it's pretty simple once you get the hang of it. the game starts you out without all of the mechanics
>>521210870Game starts you off slow. Lets you lean into the mechanics slowly as more and more mechanics are introduced till you get the full experience. Its like a proper tutorial that doesn't feel oppressive.
>>519852106So has anyone tried Hollywood Animal, it's out now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZF3B48_sRY&ab_channel=WeappyStudio
>>521211027>>521211365That sounds much more approachable, in that case. The idea of building a bunch of settlements to feed back into a main city is admittedly pretty intriguing, particularly since it's not just perpetually open-ended, from what I understand. I may give this a try.
>>521213094>The idea of building a bunch of settlements to feed back into a main city is admittedly pretty intriguingthat's not really how the gameplay works, each settlement is largely independent. there is no main city that you can actually play in
>>521210615>That's for the Senator(lame). The Baron(cool) needs a King's Castle.Dammit, I really need to return to CoE. In my defense, I play several games at once, so...
>>521213512That was what I meant, the point is that all the settlements are contributing to some central city you don't actually control, right?
>>521214007kinda, yeah. each finished settlement gives you materials that you can use for permanent upgrades
>>521197816Civ7 with Harriet tubmanCiv call to power with the NicaraguansCiv6 with mapuche and cree Humankind has like half random obscure shit.
>>519852106Endless Legend 2, gameplay trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZbcbtTLsxI&ab_channel=EndlessUniverse
>>521215027The changing map is kinda cool.
>>521215027I have a sinking feeling (pun not intended) this is going to be a flop
>>521215027Cool>>521215852>game about tides >sinking feelingKeks. Still beta leaks are positive and it's been a decade since EL. The question is will it sell enough to sustain amplitude
>the crisis arrive too late and the ai is overwhelming them... againIt's seems I have to do everything in this fucking galaxy.
>>521206143My first new underground run was with some Industrial dorfs, picked a Rock Giant ruler, was somehow parked right next to the crystal dwelling, and things got crazy quick with booming production. I stacked half the Materium transformations and REALLY liked the new upgrade in the tier 5 tome affecting elementals if you become crystal dudesIt had synergy with constructs too, so that makes me really want to try a similar run with more war machines and not depend as much on stacking racial TF bonuses. That'll probably be a Reaver run for me. Reavers seem a bit underdeveloped now compared to other cultures, but I just wanna try the gun faction again>>521210075Jesus christ it's like it's suicidal begging for a war declaration
>>521218869They really should take another look at reavers and Re-work them. Leaning more into the Mercenary/Pirate playstyle could be nice. Let them get paid for fighting others wars or something would be pretty neat
>>521183565>>521183723>>521183881I really like this game, they have a Rome themed sequel coming out some time this year.
Which paradox game is easiest to get into
>>521231993go to /vst/ and ask them
>>521232216Um, thisi s the strategy general, there is no vst one...
>>521232260Wrong thread, tranny.

Play Song of Conquest.

What did everyone think of the biogenesis trailer?https://youtu.be/pID5tLk1r70?si=ki7hVYG3Qb4izXgUPersonally, i'm a bit disappointedThe ships feel more like reskinned metal ships, they explode when shot, they shoot lasers and they barely even move
>>521272454I've never cared about the graphical aspects of stellaris desu
>>521272454Sounds like the usual paradox cash grab slop dlc desu
Against the Storm scratches a really weird itch that I didn't realize I had. I was put off by the idea of having to constantly remake new settlements, but something about just doing the opener of a settlement and getting it established, before moving on, just feels proper.
>>521278192it's a roguelike (roguelite, whatever) that feels truly unique
>>521278515The term feels like it doesn't do it justice. It's like the fun, exciting part at the beginning of a 4x where you're scoping out the landscape and getting settled, but before everything gets permanently locked in and you have to toil to the finish line. I never knew how much I wanted that until now.
I wonder how many of the posts in this thread are mine
Any recommendations for a trading and logistics game?
>>521285262endless sky
good night /civ4xg/
>>521278192For a lot of builders the fun part is in the beginning. The struggle of getting a place set up. Afterwords it starts to feel like work and maintenance doesn't feel as rewarding. This isn't true of them all but a lot of them end up feeling that way.
>>521007878Yeah i wonder what happened to Earthbreakers
>>521295539Or the dreaded mid game slog just waiting for the fun end game
>>521295539Very true. Some people seem to have a knack for putting every single little piece together into a cohesive whole in their games, but getting to the point where that's the only thing to really focus on just kills the enjoyment for me. It never occurred to me you could simply make a game where it's all entrenchment, and end up making it work.
>>521285262Settlers.
>>521285262Anno, pick the era you prefer.
>>521309440What if I don't like Anno?
This game is great. I'm like Zhuge Liang killing an army of 700 using 50 men. On the contrary, an OP unit can be taken down with the right combination of weaker units.
>>521320305>"I'm like Zhuge Liang killing an army of 700 using 50 men"Mate don't get arrogant, you're only fighting animals and monsters.Curious how you took the clockwork horrors and ents down, though, A single ent wiped my army.
>>521319339Then play Settlers or Tropico.
>>521320494Hey, that's very racist against hoburgs bro. Then again, killing 500 hoburgs was the easy part, killing 17 fucking Ents needed durable tanks, lots of healing/armor+ spells and a fire mage. The clockworks were easier pickings. I'm curious how someone would beat that using a faction like the Baron though, he only has lvl 2 spellcasters and normal squishy frontliners.
>>521321530Damn, some of these ents are begging for death.For these who don't know, the hearts at the top left of an unit portraits are wounds. They're varied and can be anything from battle fright to a missing limb to a festering wound.
>>521320494This is the game where deer can destroy settlements. Don't fuck with nature.
>>521322368I literally fucked a bear in another game. I WILL fuck with nature.
Haha BG3 meme so funny
What is the /gsg/ger raging about now?
>>521335745It's mad it took it one hour and fifty minutes to get the reference.
>>521335745Are they ever not raging?
>>521352495When they're crying about being called names. When I called one of them a mongrel, he definitely cried.
>>521216260I play with the following settings and it's a challenge for both me and the crisis when it comes to AI empire difficulty. >mid game scaling on>grand admiral>all AI empires start as advanced empires >10x crisis >mid game year 2300>end game year 2375See if that works for you?
>>521352743Will try those, it might be harder for m because I'm absolute shit when it comes to propping up an economy.
why do the computer players of Space Empires 4 keep going back on the treaties they suggested? why do they hate me?
>>521359651Balanced to prevent diplomatic victories.
>>521359754are you certain or just guessing?
>>521360038The latter.
