THIS SCENARIO LOOKED QUITE SKETCHY. I HAD BEEN SETTING UP TO GO TO WAR WITH THE WHITE MUSLIM FOR MANY TURNS AND HE SURROUNDED MY BABY EXPANSION WITH ABOUT 8 OR 10 UNITS . NOT PICTURED HERE ARE A BUNCH OF MISSLE TEAMS HIDING IN THE WOODS. I HAD A BUNCH OF UNITS NEAR HIS EXPANSION DUE TO THE QUEST FOR THE SWORD AND I PARKED A PACK OF SPLENETIC MILITANTS ON HIS MEAT HARVEST CAPTURE POINT. ULTIMATELY I CONVINCED THE CHEIFTESS TO GO TO WAR WITH HIM DESPITE HIM BEING ONE OF THE ONLY PEOPLES AT PEACE WITH HER, AND ALSO I BOUGHT THE HINDUS INTO THE WAR WHICH I THINK WEIGHED ON HER DECISION. I THINK A BUNCH OF HIS MISSLE TEAMS GOT RUN THE FUCK OVER BY FURIOSA WASTELANDERS THIS WAR ONLY LASTED ABOUT TWO TURNS. THE NEXT STEP OF MY QUEST IS ON THE WAY TO HIS MAIN CITY SO THAT SHIT IS GOING TO GET RUN OVER VERY QUICK. HORDE MANDATE AND SCRAMBLERS CAME IN CLUTCH HERE FOR REPOSITIONING AND CLEARING HIS UNITS OUT AND MY QUEST SPAWNED A HOLLOW WARLORD RIGHT ON MY EXPANSION WHICH LET ME FINISH OFF A UNIT.

malus on research labs makes them obnoxious to play with, the bonus on dimensional echoes kicks in too late to be worth much. The dreameater can be nice but costs so much influence early on, influence you need to press the research button, that you can't use it until the midgame. The only good thing is that they can get a somewhat faster second city but the research button doesn't scale and other leaders get better early game bonuses that do scale into the late game. Weakest voice leader

Yes they can just spam one resource and win makes it really easy but it's also kinda necessary otherwise the AI is too retarded to be a threat. At least they can do their economy well. Praying 4.4 fixes some of the nu-econ. I do think they've made the game way more interesting to play it's just a shame the ai is garbage because I dont like playing against cheats to fake a challenge it's too hard to tweak the settings to make it work.

Biggest issue with the game, still, to this day. It's so fucking easy to cheese the AI, it just completely trivializes so much of the game.

An AI update has been my most wanted fix since Stellaris fucking began. At LEAST fix their ship positioning and overall naval strategy abilities holy shit, so fucking tired of playing ring around the rosie with enemy ships.

5th Campaign mission, with an island start. Note this is not the inevitable Tenochtitlan mission, just some random smaller islands we build up as the Mexica are moving south. Were about to betray our current masters to swap over to new overlord for land rights in a new city but well see how that turns out. I'm sure the campaign is pretty well researched so the lore is fun enough to follow along even when you know roughly how it's going to work out.

Mechanically the game introduces water/boats in this one forcing you to trade over the lake while being safe from any direct raids at my islands. It's more of a trade challenge with limited wood and stone at my disposal and limited building space to actually make farms and place down structures. The challenge level seems appropriate even on "normal" difficulty, with 2 more harder options available. On this one I made an export economy with cloth and fish while importing things like stone, various foods and alcohol. You need to use the land reclamation a lot to fit all the crap the game asks you to build.

>>563834880
>I'm sure the campaign is pretty well researched
Whaaat? So they didn't followed an eagle after being chased out from their lands and then peacefully settled in what would be Tenochtitlan?

>>563836491
That may or may not occur in the future. Right now were just vassals. Maybe the new masters were about to bend our knees at will do a shocking betrayal that then forces us to flee to the conveniently empty centrally placed island following an eagle.

can someone help me with stellaris mod? How do you add flat bonus pop growth per district?
I tried triggered_district_planet_modifier = {
planet_housing_add = @zone_urban_housing_positive
planet_pop_group_modifier_for_all = {
bonus_pop_growth = 10
}

}
but it doesn't work

>>563846928
where did you add that? to urban districts?

>>563847592
I tested it by adding it to urban districts, yes.
My goal is to make it so resort world districts give a flat 1.5 pop growth/assembly each (with restoration enclave giving 3.0 each instead)
I also tried making telepath jobs give flat pop growth/assembly too but for some reason whatever I typed didn't work with that either

Adding job based and district based pop growth/assembly seems to be very hard to mod in stellaris for some reason.

>>563848809
go look up how the old rural support districts worked and copy that. they're still in the files, just commented out

>I also tried making telepath jobs give flat pop growth/assembly too but for some reason whatever I typed didn't work with that either
that shouldn't be too hard, just copy what roboticists do

what mod list are you running if you don't mind sharing?

I think it could be cool to remotely attack buildings/districts with ranged units in Civ.

Imagine having a crossbowman who can attack farms from far away and you have to send someone to repair it. Makes Barbarians a little better since they can send their ranged units to deal more damage.

>>563810905
i gotta recommend either lowering map size or lowering capture point density. You generally play with 8 active players right? Having so many capture points is like two to three cities worth of extra output and is gonna take a big bite out of hard mode's difficulity

on another subject there is an early research node that lets you trade 1 power for 1 additional gear wheel of production in con yards - what do you think of this option? getting 2 extra production seems to not impact timing in cranking out buildings so I'm guessing that its use is in allowing one to play at a lower loyalty thershold effectively - have you mathed this out? Any thoughts?

pop growth is completely unchanged despite pic rel btw

>>563855153
Seems to work just fine from that related. Other than you fucking up localization but that's not important.

>>563855751
the pop growth doesn't change at all though.
it should be like 100+ a month but just stays at +3-6

>>563855880
the UI stuff is weird sometimes, is it actually going up by the shown number, or does it just say +3/6?

>>563856034
just + 3-6

Stellaris Pops are so much better now. Punishing people for spam-colonizing was a great decision and also helps cull Habitat spam too. Good stuff.

Pretty sure you're bottlenecked on housing mate. If you really want to cheat this badly change the logistical curve pop growth modifier to include a second boolean with say a double max ceiling with ai=no

>outpost density
no, for both the fact that its the normal settings for most MP games and also for the fact that the biggest difficulty is always in the early game and all they do is help the snowball roll faster as it was going to anyways because the AI doesn't know how to settle without mutators on.

>>563879415
Must We Suffer So gives them the research for free so they never retardedly take half the game before settling their first
Are You The Great Speaker doubles the effectiveness of their loyalty bonus they get from difficulty
What Am I, Truly lets them power through their terrible combat ability against neutrals through sheer mass
Was Zephon Truly Alive lets them work through their inability to research, build, and settle efficiency with pure tile acquisition

>>563879895

>>563832090
Thankfully I'm more of a roleplayer these days so I can still have fun pitting the AI against each other. But it does suck not being able to play the more militaristic style because you'd genocide them without much effort unless you give them fucktons of free stuff which feels lame.

I'm lazy with economy though so maybe I'm overestimating my ability to destroy them. I know it was easy as fuck back when there were only 3 resources though now it's harder to get infinite alloys

the homecoming private server has been a blast lately , they did jack shit for the first 3 years or so but after NCsoft gave them the licence they have started making alot of new content ( like a new large scale raid or the mole machine taskforce) in December they added a new +5 difficulty mode to all the content in in the game. There have been alot of buffs to masterminds in the last few months as well which from this thread I would have to guess you enjoy RTS controlling 6 units while controling your character. (Mercenaries have gone from the worst powerset to the best powerset) . There are legit some of the same people on this server as there were 5 years ago when city of heroes came back so the sense of community and identity is strong which is something that stops me from getting invested in warcraft private servers.

You may have posted giganigga meme, but I fucking lived it bro. And thinking back cryptic or whoever handled the in game CSRs back then was very lax when it came to reports of people complaining about my text macros tied to certain abilities that went about "I'mma make you my bottom bitch" and other such high brow remarks. Also had some other colorful characters like a mastermind who's theme are using abortion babies, a protoss zealot because I was very creative back then and what I only vaguely remember as Cancerman.

Good times. RIP Defiant.

>>563902371
yeah we got big booty spandex bitches too. some queen of the damned looking negress is the one who got me hooked on running +5 and +7 content ( including the missions that have +7 difficulty without playtesting lul that december patch was fucking wild) fire healing and demon summoning with RTS controls. I have been playing this game on and off for years with a maxed out blaster and scrapper but I made a fire/fire/fire blaster, the most classic set up around and have redefined how the class is played by being on a mission from god to get combat teleport nerfed. multiple people look at me and say when did they buff [inferno] . unfortunately the glass canon ultra damage playstyle has ruined playing alts for me. hit gold cap twice farming the hardest repeatable missions in the game i hope we get new high difficulty stuff. most of the community has not adjusted to all the new content and is still farming the same shit they farmed for the last 4 years. I want to run the custom missions the new devs added on the new difficulty mode but i can never herd enough cats for that shit.

some 13 year old sambo joined my DnD game 10 years ago ( 13th edition) and despite his youth and racial handicap he reliably played a cleric for years and years. He mostly used his swift action heal spells to overextend himself and his overpowered gloranthan duck racial to make spirits of the righteous auto crit for big damage. Good versitile character - that little nigga was constantly playing crusader kings 2, sometimes during the fucking campaign. I got him to try warcraft 3 at some point i was suprised at how mimimal of a laptop can run warcraft 3 well. The mod that adds 20 new races was pretty fun . Civ is about as close as I get to grand strategy. Despite having alot of peers into RTS i ended up starting with civ on a super nintendo emulator through no suggestion of anyone. Tbh I wonder why i downloaded that one. back in 98 and 99 i was mostly playing translated JRPGs like seiken densetsu 3 and ff5 heil hitler.

Depends. If you want a quick space RTS and don't mind Russian jank, Five Nations. If you want a slower, bigger space RTS with more sneaky stuff, go for Sins of Solar Empires Rebellion. If you want a very ugly but very fun space game, go for Sword of the Stars 1. If you want autism in real time, go for Distant Worlds: Universe.

Sword of the stars 2 is also pretty decent. Stellaris actually copied it's ship building from SotS. So if your primary interest in stellaris is the ships SotS is fantastic series. It's very light on the colony management side so if your primary interest is the economy stuff then you probably want something else tho.

I remember playing Warzone 2100 on Playstation, I think it might be on Steam now? It was pretty famous back then, it was one of these "make your units" games, like Ancient Wars or SMAC.

>>563932821
I'd rather get pegged than try SotS 2 again. Never again. Never!

Yup

I remember playing that ages ago, back when shops still sold collections of semi-random games

I played so many games on Playstation, when demos were still a thing. I'm still pissed that Team Buddies never made it to the video game store near my place, best RTS lite ever.

Never play Deity. Except Deity Empire.

I want to play these 4X and City Builder games but im lost. How do i develop taste in this genre? I enjoyed Civilization Revolution on the Xbox 360, but i assume that's because it was a dumbed down version of the Civ games. Where could i start? I'm not good at RTS games so i usually just play against the AI when i pick one up and have fun for a couple of hours, but I'm tired of those.

>>563943210
Civ 4

>>563943210
Do you like sci-fi, fantasy, or historical shit?

>>563943210
play gladius and then when u get a hang of your race play zephon

>>563943210
For 4x solid pick is the civ series, try Civ 6, it's basically THE flagship 4x tittle. You can try civ 5 and 4 if you want a different flavor of the concept. If you want 4x in space go with Stellaris. If you want more sci-fi/fantasy spin try Endless legend or Endless Space instead 1/2 is good for both.

For city builders it depends on what you want. For the pure form of builder without enemies or challenge try Cities Skylines 1, sim city series also falls into this category. If you want light combat elements and bit more challenge try Anno 1404 or 1800, Timberborn or impressions games like Caesar III/Pharaoh/Emperor. If you want even more difficult style go for Frostpunk or Workers and Resources soviet republic.

If you want more RTS start from SC2 and AoE2 both have good single player content, pve content and pvp matchmaking that is alive and well. You can literally play these games for years and never either be good or play against humans if you want, the single player and cooperative content is excellent anyways.

For a misc strategy try Heroes of Might and magic 3 or OTTD (open transport tycoon deluxe)

Warcanoe status: Corned up
Chiefs: Feathered and erect
Troops: Ready to row
Yep... it's warring time.

God dam these things are expensive to build and stock with weapons and armors and the time limit is quite a bit stricter than the previous missions.

The city promised for us. Were the naval reinforcements. Things went otherwise smoothly but the guys we are now working with just betrayed their other allies so I'm not sure how long this alliance will last.

Messing around with AI autoplay and trying to get the dates to more closely align with tech progress. Unfortunately I fucked up someplace in code that makes the game crash when loading saves so I haven't sat down and done a serious long term game with all my tweaks

No, that comes later.

If Civ 7 good on console or is it still a shitshow?

>>563957534
It's bad on PC, I would presume it's worse on console

>>563959979
I'll have to do some research

>>563803080
HELP IT

>>563957534
Can you even mod console civ?

>>563952053
So many ressources to take in consideration in this game, I got lost right away.

The next mission after this is the first proper macro mission where you need top tier noble buildings. It's pretty nice, almost done with it but gonna be till tomorrow when I can actually finish it.

I vividly remember my amazement that I was more disapointed that Niggelim were unispired (playstyle) than annoyed they were cyborg niggers and trains. For a longest time I thought the design was of the Indian outsourcing variety (it was of Argentinian one) it is so shoddy.

pic rel FFS the fuck is that. Amplitards then continue the retarded design into EL2 instead of quietly retiring the cyber trains niggers.

Time is a fuck so let me recap. Thank you everyone for your responses. An innumerable number of people are calling for Horatio to be removed and an equally innumerable are calling for Horatio to stay. I am confident in saying that there will be at least 0 and at most 23 Horatio players on the team next league, but beyond that someone suggested replacing Fish Tits with a Zephon rep (which I haven't played so I'm relying on the anons here to provide a suitable player concept, it doesn't have to have a full 3D model as images work too). If people have any other suggestions for the team feel free to share them. Otherwise pic related is the current state of the team with adjustments for the medal setup (1 gold medal, 2 silver medals, 2 bronze medals where the medal statuses are tentative and based off of last league's medals).

I'm not sure, civ 7's deluxe edition is 40 dollars. Does that have any expansions?

>>564014069
no, aliens raptured 80% of mankind because they're too dumb to escape a self-fulfilling prophecy
