Let's talk about games where you build castles (or other fortifications) and defend them from enemies. Surely there are more to this genre than just Stronghold, right? And maybe post castles too while we are at it.
Pretty sure "they are billions" spawned a bunch of clones after its mild success.
Cataclismo had you build them from literal building blocks. I tried the demo but didn't like it.
>>730809085>CataclismoLooks decently enough. What you don't like about it?
Firefly are technically and creatively incapable of improving the Stronghold games in way way shape or form, their last attempts were shit so now all they do is re-release the OG games.I actually quite liked Stronghold 2 but 3 was total and utter shit.
>>730810310How's Stronghold Crusader 2?
>>730810310Riftbreakers is master piece.
>>730810404Bad, all the worst elements of the new games with none of the good stuff.
>>730810483I don't know it, is that by Firefly?
>>730810000Dragging and rotating all these elements seemed tedious and I didn't like the dull colors and low-poly visuals that made everything blend in.
>>730808852Curious which games? They Are Billions could have been a huge success if the devs weren't so autistic about a forced ironman mode for LONG FUCKING CAMPAIGN. Like I could upgrade something that is entirely useless or bad, but I won't have any idea until I play the game and use it. But once I find out it was, then I'm fucked because FORCED IRON MAN. Like save that shit for a replay for veterans that know the right upgrade paths and everything. I put well over 60 hours into that game, but I will never touch the campaign again it's such a painful game to learn. I like just loading up a skrimish and playing through that.
Do I buy Stronghold HD or definitive edition?
>>730814368DE probablyStronghold for campaign, Crusader for skirmish.
we're almost out of food
>The Snake fucked himself and his allies over because he wanted wine in exchange for giving troops
>>730808714This looks great. How's it compared to Age of Empires?
>>730813362Check out eversiege (I think demo is up) or diplomacy is not an option or that fantasy grimdark they are billions clone I can't recall now
>>730819693It's more of a castle sim than RTS like AoEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s24M3E-k2EU
>>730808714I like farthest frontier
>>730808852Game was trash since you are forced to micro units around to kite while killing stuff
>>730808714Going Medieval is pretty uhh, there. There are trebuchets and shit.
>>730820391I've played DiNaO. It's pretty good but I feel like it gets old fast since there isn't much unit or building variation and you have to go through a basically identical slog of enemy-sweeping and economy-buildup on every map. The best parts of the game are the challenge maps that cut out the fat and just give you an empty map with a bunch of resources to start with.
