I claim this thread for the glory of /gsg/
>>502896056/gsg/ is on /vst/ if you are looking for thatI can still talk about CK2 and Stelloris with you, mostly just CK2 tho.
Why is 'food' always either an apple or a slab of meat. Gimme some different icons. I wanna farm sandwiches and gather from kebab bushes.
What is food? Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more

>>502924346Yes.

XPiratez is really fun, thanks for the suggestion anon
>>502930191It's not.
>>502930597It is!
>>502930676I know better than you. And I say it isn't.What proof do you have that it's good?
>>502930837I can launch nukes at things if I get bored and I can launch nukes at things because it's necessary
>>502931231I can do that in UT2004.What makes it better in XPiratez?
cities 2 good yet?
>>502933035lollmao
>>502933035
>>502933035Performance is much better than launch but still struggles at times. There's still no bicycles (!!), no asset editor, no workshop support. They also never ported out like half the animations for sims, so you don't get things like firefighters or playground children that make the city feel actually lived in. They took the best parts of the park/campus/industry customization and added them to the base game, but they didn't actually port over the mechanics for making those things themselves, so universities and parks are back to just being placable assets (and again, no workshop assets) and you can't do the industry production chains and warehousing thing, which was some of the most "gameplay" content that CS1 had. No bikes or bike lanes. Or pedestrian areas, although at least there's pedestrian roads but it's not the same. And no bikes.
Any of you guys played Age of Wonders 4? I'm kind of lost with how to set up an economy properly and what spells I should go for.
how to win as germany in new hoi4 dlc
>>502939727I only played Age of Wonder 3. And I got krumped the nanosecond I tried to explore the map.
>people saying Zephon doesn't have diplomacyIf anything it has too fucking much. Why the hell are people so eager to ally with the literal alien invaders that ruined the planet?>b-but they're good boys now! They dindu nuffin!Fuck off
>>502945105The only good xeno is a dead xeno.
Good afternoon.
>>502953878FASTERSTRONGERBETTER
>>502939727I started writing a really long post to try and explain this but there are so many mechanics that the best thing you can do is play, learn, and try to understand it from the ground up. A couple general points I can give:>More food = more population growth = more annexed provinces = more resources>Look at your Empire Development Tree (big green button) and figure out which upgrades you plan on taking>*Extra Imperium can be spent on pumping your cities population and schmoozing Free Cities, which gives more annexed provinces and resource tributes (eventually) respectively>Certain affinities help your cities grow in different ways; committing to one, or at most two, is a good rule of thumb>Generally speaking, it's smart to pick spellbooks that match your affinity, unless there's a specific book that you really want and/or could make good use of>Not all cultures are created equallyI guess this is kind of a long post anyways but... whatever.>>502945105The diplomacy feels really forced across the board. Like you can meet an NPC faction and all of the sudden they're>"HELLO SIRS! DIPLOMACY SIRS?? PEACE SIRS? TRADE SIRS?? GIVE ME YOUR MAPS NOW BITCH SIRS PLEASE?????"Still, the worldbuilding is cool as fuck. I just hate how limited the research tree is.Also Fallen Soldier is fucking busted. Literally Necrons all over again.
>>502931741I can do that on a big map to civilians :)
I like drawing fantasy maps.What game comes the closest to scratching that same kind of itch?
What's the hate for /gsg/ so much I don't get it.
>>502966741Dungeondraft
>>502967587worst thread I've ever seen on all of 4chan, outside of /pol, /tv, and /b but including /trash and /soc.
>>502968226Oh that's super cool but not actually what I meant. I meant a video game that appeals to the same interest, not a digital tool to do the same thing. Like, Dwarf Fortress with the legends viewer is kinda vaguely close?
>>502968295Ok are you a niggerlover? because /gsg/ was so against it.
>>502968795Civilization simulation games? Like Worldbox?
>>502956641How many cities should I be aiming for and how do I get better units? Upgrading my city to tier 4 didn't give me anything. As for gold all I seem to be spending it on is military/ building upgrades.
>>502975645>How many cities should I be aiming forObviously more is better, but only if you can keep up with logistics, city happiness/stability, and make sure they're all defended properly. The later the game goes, the more important it will be to have multiple cities to feed your economy. Teleporters will be a necessity. Depending on your playstyle, you can substitute multiple cities with having strong allies, raiding and occupying other cities, or flat out murdering everyone before their economic war machine can build up.>how do I get better units?Upgrading your city tiers will eventually unlock all of the default units afforded to your culture. You can improve them with unit enchantments that you'll find in spellbooks. You will also unlock new units from spellbooks who can also be enchanted.>As for gold all I seem to be spending it on is military/ building upgrades.That's what it's there for. Paying for upgrades, paying for units, paying upkeep, trading between other leaders and Free Cities.
Bump for mommy
>>502924346>moddedinteresting euphemism for a hentai doujin
>>502933035They literally went back to releasing CS1 dlcs, what do you think, anon?
>>502989957What's next for Amplitude now that they are going solo?
>>502979994On the topic of happiness and stability are there specific buildings that boost it? How do I make a teleporter and when is a city too big? I've got one with 12 zones but my stability is awful.
>>502995380>On the topic of happiness and stability are there specific buildings that boost it?Yes. The buildings may not be immediately available, so you'll have to tier up your city. Also the bigger your city gets, the more unstable it grows.>How do I make a teleporterYou unlock them in the Empire Development Tree. It should be somewhere near the bottom of the gray path. It takes a long time to reach that point and costs a hefty sum of Imperium.>when is a city too bigIn theory, never, if you can keep it protected and stable.
>>502990207Doujins are books. Books aren't animated.You stupid whore.
Who do I have to suck off and/or kill for XCOM3?
>>503008617Why would you ever want a third xcom?
>>503008617'Aliens' and 'aliens'.
is zevon any good or should I wait for 2 expansions and a sale
>>503008617play one of the twenty thousand clones or knockoffs**they're all mechanically inspired by Fire Emblem instead of XCOM for some reason
I fucking hate caves. Broken ass tileset.
It's gonna take a long time with a lot of pop-n-shoot, but I can do this.
>>503008617Sadly not Jake because he left Firaxis after Midnight Suns was criminally underrated by the unwashed masses and they will pay, oh yes, they will pay. A slow and painful death for everyone who hasn't played Midnight Suns and doesn't think BG3 should win game of the year 2024 as well
>>503017340>gay bomb
Wow, cyberdiscs have some shit aim. Oh well, a free esper and a prevented base.
>>503022834>slave AIWhat are these for?
>>503022885Primarily for building ships, missiles, and smart weapons.
>>503023917...okay I'm interested now.
>>503024167Or you can rip em apart for their electronic bits and use those to build cloaking devices for your catgirls.
>>503026245why tho
What's a good game with elves? I feel like bullying these knife-eared pieces of shit.
I need a mod that cuts back on AI and city state unit spam, my current multiplayer game has become fucking unplayable
>>503041753oh right sorryfor civ 6
dominions filter me
>>503044821Sounds about normal.
>>503044821Do you play MP?
>>503061921Heaven no. They would eat me alive and spits my bones out.
>>503062485MP on /domg/ is very kind, you should play desuAlso MP is fun since diplomacy and weird strats are par for the course
>>503044821I played enough dom to decide it's not for me. I assume because it's ultimately designed for MP games where you get days or a week between turns, so as a result it's just miles and miles of options and numbers and factors and modifiers to pore over, in attempt to give you something to do for those many hours before something happens. But for me dom crossed the line into feeling exactly like doing homework.
>>503063740Nah, /domg/ is a kind of dicks. You can't ask them anything, they'll answer in the most roundabout way.>so should I longdeads?>"it depends">so should I put everything in conjuration?>"it depends">ELF SLAVE WHAT DO>"it depends"Fuckers would rather die than give you a straight answer.
>>503065035Well it does depend on the situation, like most things in strategy games.
>>503065035They're teaching the most precious art of war: everything depends on circumstances.
>>503066030Wrong. Artillery is always good.
Smelly /domg/gigers out of my generalx please.
Are communions worth it?
>ICBM: Escalationnow this is what hearts of iron 5 should be likeexcept down to the regimental level
>>503071668>ICBM: EscalationSure picked a great time to release.
>>503071668Sounds offtopic.
Anyone playing norland? I can't keep up with the economy of this gameMultiple crop fields fertilizer eats through lumber supplyTaxes on the army bankrupts meTrading between cities can be viable until you can't produce the stuff they wantEnemy armies decked out in top tier gear on day 15 while I'm still using the spear and maceBishop keeps on hating markath culture threatening the city with a fanatic uprising
>>503073473Though you meant northguard, I was ready to help.
With the economy of my republic in shambles, I've resorted to the classic socialist technique of buying grain from America. I have no dollar income whatsoever, so hopefully I can fix things before the money runs out.
