But now it's time to come home.
No I quit RTS because of MOBAs
deserts of kharak was pretty cool
>final brood war mission, only white lives>build 200 mutalisks and a click them into the enemy base>all die without doing anything>build 200 hydralisks and do the same thing>win
I kinda want to try AoE2
>punch a tree x1000>kick a rock x10000000>build rax>progress bar craftingslop>skirmish for 0.00000005s>go below opponent's unit cap by 1>gg
>>736388808Only multiplayer game I ever play is Counter-Strike: Source, GunGame maps. Excluding CS:S, I've only been playing singleplayer games for 30 years now
>>736388808wtf that's literally me on the rightwhere'd you get this pic of me?
>>736388808I didn't quit, though. I'm playing Rise of Legends right now.
Just play CtA conquest mode or some shit
>>736388808I prefer Grand Strategy.
>>736391101Which one are you playing now, anon?
How do I beat AoE2 campaigns on hard
>>736391101Warhammer 3

>>736388808I never quit RTS, probably because I never really got into PvP culture, outside of a couple episodes in Broodwar and one shorc SC2 season
>>736388808>Love RTS games>Too stupid to actually play them effectivelyI just wanna turtle so I can build up a bunch of dudes and then deathball the enemy base...
>>736388808Those gamers are long gone.
>>736391434Be agressive
why are there tanks in my medieval game
>>736388808I quit RTS because I haven't reinstalled Dark Crusade yet. I should eventually get it again.
>>736392002holy shit
>>736391434Sell your soul and become a femboy incubus who's really good at RTS. Failing at that, hit Castle Age quick, rush nearby enemies whenever possible, and aggressively place bombard towers to support sieges.
>>736392002there are also cars with nuclear weapons
>>736392150Nice location, reminds me of that Larian grognards cave during Panel from Hell.Guess the non-tendie infected millennials are alright sometimes
>>736391434Depends on the mission. Some it’s best to rush, some it’s best to walk up and turtle.I found that the majority of missions it’s best to wall in and just spam castles till you have a good enough army to wipe out the enemy. Walling is broken in a lot of missions because you can leave 1 space open and they will all funnel to there where you will build 4 castles. t. Beaten every mission on hard/legendary
>>736392330I know. I played Blast Corps.
>>736388808I go back to RTS to replay the campaigns from time to time, I don't really touch the multiplayer all that much. The skirmish AI for big battles and such is also neat.
>>736392358>Nice location
>>736388808I actually went back to Warcraft 3 and it was hard as fuck. Dunno how my younger self did it
>>736392909That doesn't look as comfy to me, that looks like "We wanted to be starcraft for the west but got 30 instead of 3000 or 30k visitors"
May I introduce you guys to the hoard defense genre>There are billions>Diplomacy is not an optionSingle player and hard enough to keep it engaging. It's perfect for guys like me that hated multiplayer but also thought that the AI was too easy
>>736393019Are you lying down on your economy or something? You can't afford to slack on workers.
>>736388808Not interesting in playing any games with reddit meme posters.
>>736388808Yes. I hate other people and I hate playing games with or against other people even more.
>>736388808>gatekeeps casualsIs this supposed to be a bad thing
>>736395518casuals propped the games for decades, meanwhile hardcore epsortsfags killed every single rts that wasn't getting artificial infusions from Blizzarddo with that information what you will
>>736395759Don't careI just don't like casuals
>>736395759that's true for every genre, tho
>No good new RTS have come out recently>No good new RTS scheduled to release soonIt's so over.
For me, it's Warzone 2100.I've yet to find an RTS that can match its campaign.
if I want to experience failure through any fault but my own while others profit from bad play I'd play mahjong.
>>736396252>No good new RTS have come out recentlyI'm enjoying Godsworn>No good new RTS scheduled to release soonDust Front and DORF look promisingMaybe Dawn of War 4 won't be shit
>>736396501>GodswornLooks fruity
>>736396687I dunno how people fail to grasp this WC3-like aesthetic that this is aping. The whole point of it was to be chunky and exaggerated to look appealing from a distance and retain visual clarity. Adding lots of dumb shit like skinny twigs and tiny weapons to every thing contradicts its purpose. These fucking people need to learn some basic visual design. I swear, all these RTS games look like shit because nobody understands that a game needs to be designed to be viewed from the perspective of the gameplay, not from some dumb shit perspective like the at-the-ground perspective of the units themselves, or for looking a single model being showcased in a preview or something.
>>736396316Really underrated game, remember playing it 10 years ago on my school's computer because it's free
>>736396881Nobody cares about visual clarity anymore. They want high fidelity graphics and detailed animations, gameplay be damned. It's why we have yellow paint everywhere in modern games.
>>736388808I've literally never cared about PvP in RTS.
>>736388808I started replaying RA2 the other day I still don't like RTS but I'm always down for a C&C campaign or star/warcraft custom map sesh, fuck PvP autism, you misclick once or are 2 seconds slower than the other person and you've already lost and every match is a fucking 5min rush2 minutes against gooks
AoE2 developer here. I was about to buff Hand Cannoneers if there was enough support for it, but seeing as nobody has mentioned them in this thread, it seems like it's not going to happen.
>>736391434Play SC2 and you can beat anything at any difficulty afterwards
No I didn't, I only played mazing TDs and life of a peasant
>>736390528Too late. They've ruined it. Get a HD key if you can though.
>>736388808For me, its vs cheating ai with friends
>>736388808Why, is Bungie making a new Myth game?
>>736399824would you really want modern bungie to do it?
>>736388808I never even played pvp, I just played campaigns and co-op custom games and shit. The starcraft 2 campaigns on brutal difficulty are great, as is the co-op mode and all the various arcade games you can play. pvp always felt lame like there were less features, you get less units and less upgrades so you're forced into less strategies. Beating an AI is more fun because it's like a puzzle rather than playing against humans which is more unpredictable
>>736398614I've played SC2
>>736400312No, you're right, I always think what Asmongold says to. Thanks for the reminder.
You know why they aren't making good SP campaigns anymore? It's simple. They ran out of ideas for campaign missions.That's where (You) come in, anon. Can you design an interesting campaign mission that will get people interested in RTS again?
>>736400779An escort mission on one side of the map coupled with a timed defense on the other. Your hero character can't die or you lose. Also static defenses are dogshit.
>>736400748I don't watch roachman, I'm just thinking that george floyd loading screens is not something I want to see in my fantasy game
>>736392002how to counter the wagons?
>>736400779there aren't enough free-roam type campaigns where map nodes are static maps that can change hands, like Dark Crusade or Warlords Battlecry 3
>>736391434Play it like it's a pvp match, because that's what the new AI is meant to teach lol
>>736400312Not even remotely, but I can't really think of a studio I'd rather have working on such a thing. All the ones I know of and liked either closed up shop or turned into garbage.
>>736388808any reason why there have been so many rts threads lately? also playing rts games for sp is like playing fighting games for sp. like nigger wtf is you doing. get out of the kiddie pool.
>>736401583Some RTS have a good campaign mode in SP, unlike fighting games that are just the same as the PVP
>>736398710Did they ruin the Singleplayer campaign as well? How?
>>736388808Nah, I quit RTS because I like the ones where you play as a leader directly involved with the fighting - stuff like Sacrifice and Brutal Legend.
>Playing Rise of Nations multiplayer>Hosting "modern era limit server">tech stops at WW2 era>Play Germany for modern era tech boosts>struggle a bit early with under performing cavalry and infantry>pull back and watch 100 enemy cavalry rushing towards me>tech into modern era and my shitty horses transform into Tiger Tanks and bowmen become mg42 gunners>enemy cavalry get obliterated>become death for the rest of the match
>>736400779Give curated army options. Warcraft would be pretty easy - have it be some Infinite Dragonflight fuckery where you have a choice of pivotal moments in history to move through. As you go, you can either preserve the timeline, or do something to alter it, recruiting different heroes and factions to make up your army list while the Infinites corrupt others into serving them. At the end of the game, you either restore the timeline safely or get a special ending depending on who's recruited, who's corrupted, and how different events and conflicts played out.
>>736400779I want a persistent campaign. One that isn't broken up into instanced maps that often set you back to tech level 0 each time.The only truly comparison I can make to what I'm envisioning is a game like Kenshi, in that your resources and equipment keep getting stronger, and relations to the numerous factions can lead to ever-escalating conflicts both at your home outposts and in their stronghold cities.
>>736388808I only play rts when me friends asks me if I want to join. We have one big sweat in that group but I rush his workers every game and he never expect anyone of us to do that so it works
>>736388808I've gone back into RTS, it's Stellaris though, so have fun building a meta out of that chaotic shit
>>736400779The new age of mythology campaigns have been pretty good
>>736404226Stellaris takes too much time, I want to try playing Sins again so I can finish in less than a day.
>>736401887It's a shame they don't make games like that anymore. Now it's just 100 vs 100 Battleslop
>>736388808why does this thread keep respawning
>>736401757AoE2 lived off having many civs with the same units. The differences were only in the tech trees like some civs not having access to gunpowder and minor differences like desert civs getting camel riders instead of knights. That way you could have 30 civs but didn't have to relearn everything every time.Now they added dozens and dozens of unique units. Units replacing standard units for "historical accuracy". Civilizations were added to the game that never played a role in history. They also added hero units, damage over time and aura effects and so on.They're slowly turning it into fucking StarCraft but I suppose it won't bother you if you've never played the original.Getting it for the campaigns only is fine I guess.
>>736403792Rise of Legends has a campaign with persistent upgrades, though it is instanced. Between every map, you can spend points to unlock new units, improve your heroes, build your personal escort, and enhance your controlled territories, which give persistent bonuses as well as extra reinforcements and abilities for battles on adjacent maps.
>>736388808I quit RTS because they're about memorizing a build order and clicking really fast, not strategyI much prefer 4X
>>736401583>playing rts games for sp is like playing fighting games for spThis is what vocal minority esportfags made you believe. THIS is what killed the genre in its entirety.Alas.
>>736407380why do people keep posting some shit take from r*ddit like it has any value or I'm even going to waste the time to read it? at least copy and paste it so you can pretend it's your own opinion.
>>736388808Nigga the game you want to play is called The Sims
These guys need to get their shit together>EA and/or Warner Bros bringing back LOTR Battle for Middle Earth>someone from GOG bringing back KKND Krossfire 1&2>Ubishit remastering World in Conflict along with its expansion Soviet Assault>Blizzard brings SC1, SC2, WC1, WC2 and vanilla non-Reforged WC3+TFT to Steam>LucasArts, Petroglyph and/or Yidsney remastering Star Wars: Empire at War>EA giving Red Alert 2 and C&C Generals+Zero Hour the RA1/C&C remastered collection
>>736407957As nice as some of those things would be, you and I both know that's not going to happen.
I want to play some RTS for the campaign. Already played the Blizzard ones. Currently downloading Rise of Legends. What else should I go for?
>>736388808I only enjoy the custom games people would make on WC3. The RTS pvp part of the game was boring
>>736408340Starship Troopers:Terran Command is not half bad, it's got multiple campaigns to it now thanks to the DLC but the main one is decently long. Not much on base building though, it's all about proper unit positioning to make sure sight lines are clear and units aren't trying to shoot through each other while gunning down bugs. Attack+move is not advised here, but leapfrogging units is.
>>736390953I wish I had given that game more of a chance back in the day instead of being salty that it wasn't RoN2.
>>736408470I second this, they nailed the movie feel in a RTS, very commendable.
Am I playing this game right
AI War: Fleet Command the original is the greatest rts of all time its not even close, just try it, its fucking good
>>736391730Same. I can't into the micro required to git gud, and I don't care enough to invest in the practice required. Also find build orders boring. They Are Billions, Cataclismo, and Diplomacy is Not an Option have been a lot of fun though. Would recommend for turtlefags.>>736394083Mah nigga. They need to make more games like this. I was looking at Age of Darkness Final Stand last sale, but I wanted to get more mileage out of DINAO first.
>>736409536>Age of Darkness Final StandI do not recommend this game. It's just They are Billions with some WC3 abilities and everything is worse, especially the pathfinding. However there is some new, pixel art game of similar style which have released recently that is supposed to be really good, but I can't remember the name of it....
>>736409603Found it: From Glory to Goo
>>736400878That's the Frostmourne mission.>>736403792Rexxar's campaign worked like this.
>>736409603Shame. It seemed pretty decent. Guess I'll keep an eye on it to see if it ever dips below $10 and otherwise ignore it.>From Glory to GooI looked at that one a while back. Couldn't visually tell what the fuck was going on and promptly clicked off it. I'll give it a second look though
>>736388808I quit RTS because starcraft 2 and C&C 4 were dog shit
>>736396316>post-apoc setting>every unit carries over between missions>it actually forces you to value their lives, especially ranked ones, because good manpower is limitedHoly SOVL
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8JqZ617H28
>>736388808No I quit because once I build a big base with all the tech trees and units, I no longer care.
>>736388808I quit RTS because it didnt go anywhere after Company of Heroes 1 and C&C Generals.
>>736390528It's not too late, AoE2 DE is still great, the other guy is just your average /v/ retard who will always say old = better. Just try it out yourself.
Say I wanted to play Starcraft. Does pirated version uploaded many years ago work as is on modern systems or do I need some homopatch?
