Avatar Kyoshi as a Civ 6 leader:
>Force of Nature
Natural disasters in your borders do not damage your stuff and have double yield improvements. Killing an enemy unit in your civilization’s border has a 20% chance to generate a disaster. Gains the Dai Li unique spy unit with Diplomatic Service.

>Kyoshi Islands - Avatar Fan Club
Great people provide +2 amenities from entertainment while garrisoned in cities. Using the last charge of a great person provides bonus culture (equal to their base cost in great person points). Bonus production from amenities applies to great person point production.

>Kyoshi Warrior
Medieval unit that replaces Spearmen. When defending against stronger units, counter damage is calculated based on the enemy’s combat strength (Kyoshi Warrior still takes damage based on their own combat strength).

>Giant Koi Boat
Replaces fishing boat. Provides +1 food (scales with tech). When built on fish resource, provide unique “Giant Koi Ammenity” and +2 food to this and all adjacent coast.

>Dai Li
Replaced Spy. Starts with Surveillance upgrade. May perform a special mission in home territory to provide +20 loyalty in exchange for stopping population growth for the duration.

I just utterly despise that you cannot make items, you have to find them.
It's like survival games: I like farming, I can barely stand mining, I like crafting but what I utterly hate is scavenging. I hate the idea that you cannot create, you can only pillage what you find. Because in the end, you're not recreating the old world or creating a new one, you're just a parasite prolonguing the agony of the current one, and what happens once you run out of scrap to scavenge?
>>
>>577718407
No.

And you get like 5 offers each turn for different items, at discount, with enough apothecary guilds. That's in addition to what you get from recruits or what adventurers drop. And it's not like you really care for things other than +casting level or +regen.

how the fuck
How do I do anything good with the Atlanteans in Age of Mythology? They have a lot of healing bonuses and it's nice, but in T2, they don't have anything good. Like, how do I beat enemies in melee when they get archers that hit my units from afar, and my own archer units are anti-archers themselves, henceforth useless against monsters.
>>
>>577723286
All your troops are super counters to a specific unit or buildings type and only that unit or building type. Build appropriately.
>>
>>577723463
I really love I have so many options to heal units, but damn, I can't make head or tails of the peasants or the military units. I expected to lose my first games, I didn't expect to lose the very first skirmish.
I miss AoE3 where you recruited units in bunches.

Stars in Shadows is like Master of Orion 2+. It tries to be like Moo2 but with less of the micro and some better population management. If you want more of a simulation you'd better go with Distant Worlds 2. Galciv 4 is very slow paced because it has a lot of bells and whistles, also designing ships can take up a lot of your time.

It was a draw off a late /hanny/ equalizer then a crucial miss from Stalin at 88' or so which is sadly not a good result since we didn't close the gap between the team in the lead. That's all of our matches in this tournament, next time we play will be next month I think in another invitational.

after playing lots of zephon and a fair amount of gladius i tried my hand at the studio's first 4x, Pandora. as soon as I shared my map with the other factions i got all my farmers orbital bombarded and had my continent invaded from 3 directions. I had twice the number of cities as anyone else but my main city was 8 levels lower than the players in first and second. I could never figure out how to get myself to not be negative on ore.

Because the "knockoff" adds a lot of QoL that should've been in the games to begin with. That's how games are, every new game in the same genre is an improvement, sorry to teach you life, but old doesn't always mean it's perfect, stop watching conservative propaganda about how everything was better "before".

The major megacorp gimmick is that you can establish branch offices on the world of other empires you have a commercial pact with
This doesn't work with hiveminds because drones can't enjoy sweet products or something.
Megacorps are also stuck with oligarch style elections which are by far the worst because they happen every 20 years and randomly pick someone from the council as leader unless you pay an assload of unity to pick a canidate.

Fun, plays different enough from Civ V to shake you away from the monotony of owning 5 cities ASAP and then figuring things out from there. Some cheesy early game strats like stealing a city-state's worker and immediately declaring peace have far more pushback so relationships matter more, even if the AI's schizo tendencies from the base game shine through sometimes. Wide is more viable. Naturally implements InfoAddict, which is an amazing mod by itself and a powerful tool in vanilla.

Most importantly it's better than Civ VII. Which isn't a high bar but I figure "better than VII" is a good Go/No Go test for if it's worth one's time.

What are you even supposed to do as a megacorp? Branch offices are such a pain to set up and monitor for what you actually get that I end up just not bothering and building a regular empire but slightly taller than usual. I guess you can go trade focus but then the way the market agressively oscilates combined with the repeating buy/sell orders deciding to not work half the time still makes it feel ass to play.
Stellaris is a very flawed game but I maintain that the abysmal UI is the biggest thing holding it back from what potential for fun there is.

i personally hate vp because its made for autistic people who want to micromanage every city every turn to squeeze the last bit of efficiency out of everything and in general is a micromanagement hell
sapiens is much more in line with the normal civ 5 experience but with lots of major annoyances changed like unit upgrade trees leading to ranged/melee mixes where your promotions become useless or pikemen turning into lancers making them a shit unit
sapiens also has the option to have 2 units per tile which i absolutely love about it so siege weapons can be protected from city bombardment by having a melee unit in the same tile which leads to actually using siege weapons before artillery because you dont get lmao instakilled by city bombardment
overall sapiens adds a lot more of everything into the game
>>
>>578034540
This is AoW4, right? I look at UI and try to think on what actually remained from the old game. I think some symbols, like shield and ankh are there from the first game, just changed up. They show certain stats.

And there's no range 2 crossbows upgrade into range 1 unit? Or here's a granary. It provides 2 beakers two apples one coin and a hammer for good measure.
>>
>>578035845
yeah no retarded unit upgrade paths at all everything now has a full ranged/melee and mounted ranged/melee lines and no range reduction bullshit
some buildings and tile improvements can have way better yields than vanilla but mostly its culture/faith added to things so you dont end up in a situation like with plantations in vanilla only giving culture so you are fucked if you want a religion and spawn with plantation luxuries
all in all the mod is designed by a human being and not some random guy deciding to kneecap half the resources/systems in the game for whatever reason

Not like Monarchy back then was anything subtle. There's a reason civilized countries look down on Kings.

Okay it was more like 2 or 2,5. I had to do a lot of experimenting. I'm quite new to designing forts in that game. Because you only have 2 dimensions you have to use different textures, colours and decorations to create the illusion of depth. I don't know how to load one of the ai forts to see how they do that but I took appart the prebuilt fort in my capital to find out. I don't like it when I spend that much time to get somehting just the way I want it. I spend too much time on spaceships in galciv too.

Oh I forgot about this game. But yeah the designer is a bit finicky, not that it is that hard. The UI is not that cooperative, especially with the decorations.

Again, don't know what to tell you. Get gud or get over yourself. No one's forcing you to play mp and pugs were and will always remain cancer in any game. Accept that and occasionally you'll be pleasantly surprised but assume they're crap and lower your expectations appropriately. I personally wouldn't bother playing anything in mp that has games that last longer than 20 minutes unless it's from a vetted community. I mean, investing 2+ hours into something that some random will inevitably alt+f4 seems like an insane waste of time.

Careful. Your carefully constructed gay persona is crumbling and you're dangerously close to sounding like a normal person.

Listen, I like to talk shop about games I personally enjoy and am not really for coddling anyone but I'll offer you a suggestion for your mp problem. You could give Turincrowd a look. Not my main haunt by any measure but last I checked it is a reasonably decent place to get a dune sp or dawn of war or coh game going. Pretty sure they still have an aoe4 crowd active as well, not that I'd personally play that game. As long as you contain your power level, don't act like a drama queen or constantly memespew and can stomach some dad humor you should be fine.

Don't even joke about that. I've been at Oradour-sur-Glâne. It's enough for me to hate the Germans.
And yeah, elves in BfME2 were pretty strong, but honestly, elves in general in LotR are insanely strong. They're closer to angels than the elves we usually have in fiction.
I actually used to think the elves could translate into angels, with the Maiars being archangels, but I was told that I had it backward and that the Valars were the archangels, the Maiars the angels, and the elves were just the divine, chosen people.

>>
>>577824925
Did you try the demo? It's basically just a remake + expansion of Stronghold 2 and plays like a dream. I know it's standard policy to be pessimistic about upcoming games (and agree it's usually warranted), but this one's looking like everything the community's wanted for all those years.
>>
>>578255397
>remake + expansion of Stronghold 2
Urgh. So leaning more on the castle building side compared to Stronghold Crusader? I can't wait for my production to drop to zero because someone took a shit in front of the granary and the drop in popularity ruined my carefully balanced economy.
>>
>>578255665
The demo had(has? You can still get it through torrents if it's not on steam) a military scenario and an economic one. The economic one was surprisingly easy, but yeah the production chains etc work just like in SH2 - even the economic scenario has 'raids' every X minutes to keep you on your toes.
Not sure what it's like compared to Crusader though - didn't like the desert setting so I never finished it.
>>
>>578255981
The production chains in Stronghold Crusader are extremely simple by city-builders standard.
It's a game made to be straightforward and allow early aggression.
>>
>>578255397
I'm looking strictly at their track record and their last semi decent game being Space Colony and that was from 2003.

>def was good
They were. Being the original games released for the nth time and all. And they still released either of them with bugs out the ass.

>but it's looking good!
Good for you. I'll wait for release + six months and see for myself but until then I've got nothing left. I'm tired boss.

You should try some then. You'll quickly understand why infinite city as a concept does not translate well with what you have in mind when you have to worry about permanent and ever more demanding service coverage and when not every problem can be solved with logistic bots. I'm not the biggest fan of nuAnnos but it doesn't get more newfag friendly than that while being a great time killer. And there is a nice overlap with factorio beancounting efficiency tism if you want to optimize everything.

Played for a bit more so can give a more comprehensive answer. It doesn't really have much to do with rw other similar ui and art elements. It's closer to banished meets sims in how it plays. You got to prepare for winter, most of the manufacturing you do is on a global limit scale as in make tools until x and so on. This is done mostly by peasants. There are also soldiers which double as police force and thralls which are either bought slaves or captured enemies, and they're all-round better than regular peasant workers but try to escape every so often and happy and or loyal and or fanatic peasants work better so pick your poison. The curveballs are your nobles that have interpersonal relations and skill/personality quirks and a rpg class of sorts and the global church. Fuck the church.

Example in rw you want to chop a tree? You designate it and or right click priority and your colonist runs and chops it. In this? Your major noble, of which you have up to six when assigned to manage a building goes around every so often and shakes his fists until either peasants or thralls do the chopping. He or she in the meanwhile proceeds to do more gentlemanly affairs such as research, hunting, propositioning random guests or peasants, plotting to manipulate them or getting shitfaced on turnip vodka and getting stabbed by random criminals. It's very shallow and skin deep but endearing on occasion.

Example in rw you want to fight something? You draft and control. Well, in here you again assign a major noble or a lesser noble such as a knight to lead a squad of npc soldiers from your settlement. Then everyone picks their kit, which you get to decide from available weapons of which most have some niche, maces stun and allow for captives, spears are really good but break easily, bows are fantastic unless they have armor and so on.

There's also global map and a goal of sorts to reunify the old empire thru diplomacy or bullying everyone including the church.

Yes there are monsters that randomly spawn and one of them is a giant spider nest. Monsters usually reduce income of the province so I have to deal with it soon. I first have to take care of Kirkumferum, the neighbour to my east. Merchants of the town of Xim have been selling opium in my empire which I then banned. The Kirkumferum government asked me to lift the ban which I refused, which got me into a war with them. They are now attacked form all sides so I just want to punish them by pillaging the town of Xim. We are now in an age of unrest so I can't conquer any more towns also I don't think I want the opium region. After all this I deal with the spider.

That game strategy layer is too hard for my smooth brain.

I think I need to return with bigger guns. I've been rotating ships in front of it to draw away its fire but now I'm running out of ammo. Also a thunderstorm is starting and the lightning can strike down your ships if you are unlucky. I lost one of my destroyers due to a direct strike on the suspendium chamer earlier.

I think there's only two types of damage, pierce and blast. Explosives do blast damage, things like canons do pierce damage. Wood is better against pierce. It's not that hard. I have no idea about things like the acid, suspendium beam and the flamethrower but you are hardly up against such weapons. Also I don't have that much experience fighting monsters, it's always more guesswork to figure out what is effective against them. This one seems to have a massive pool of HP.

Imagine driving 90 km/h with a monstrosity like this. They must have very smooth roads. I hope I can take out the spider with this.

You can't.

Honestly, I didn't play much of it, more of Fantasy Wars (which is first in the series anyway, start with it). I think they are similar.

Command means how quickly you can give new orders to ships. There's a couple of modules that improve this like the bridge or the cockpit. You can turn this off when creating a new game but I think it's another way for ships to have different specializations. It's only a small handicap.

I once tried to play Dune Spice Wars with fellow /civ4xg/ gentlemen. I had a delay of 2 seconds when ordering units and it was so bad that I almost left right away.
I can't imagine playing with a delay of 4 seconds.
