Something like Ruthless Sector's settings for buffing derelicts would be nice: Sliders to adjust base stats of hostile fleets. Should be low effort to code as well, I imagine. Works universally and doesn't require much work; no manual adjustments to stuff like individual faction ships, loadouts, fleet sizes, AI, etc.
Just let the player adjust multipliers on the fly. Give your enemies something like 1.5x time dilation and 2x armor, anything you want. Adjust up as you grow too powerful again. There, personal combat is fun again.

Autoresolve combat could also use a balancing pass to curb lategame player power (mostly for nex) but that's not as important and there's not much you can do with such a simplistic system other than add a FP penalty slider to player faction fleets.

>mods do exist that makes existing factions' fleet 3x 4x times bigger
That doesn't really make personal combat any harder. It's just more grind or more free supplies, whichever way you want to look at it. The limits of what fleet size can do are mostly dictated by the battle size mechanic.

>just give the enemies 5x hp bro
You disappoint me. Surely you can do better.

>>2288137
What? You don't have to do that. Sliders for anything you want to adjust.
I even mentioned extreme time dilation as an example. That's literally 1.5x to their speed, dps, system, flux, etc. Doubling armor would just counteract how overpowered even regular vanilla weapons can get when stacking individually weak damage hullmods from different mods.

its funny to me how hard the difficulty of this game alternates. What is a good setup vs red sand is usually a bad setup vs mungos. This used to be the hardest mission in my first playthrough but on replay its a cakewalk (tbf I knew the enemy positions this time around). Drones with auto dodge and then slapping shout of subconcious on everyone neuters the response fire spam.

I hate to be that guy, but if Hanson with one roll of Luck can 1HKO your melee units, then you've unironically been filtered.

I'm starting to think this idea is actually impossible, at least on Transcend difficulty. on the other hand I pissed off one of my neighbors, the Gaians, by going Planned. seems one important element is not just cucking to everyone's demands, but to also cuck to your neighbors' ideologies

Guy you replied to here: I have 1,300 hours in Rimworld, it's a pretty easy game recommendation from me. It also has one of the most robust modding communities out there. I'm definitely biased.
Rimworld is small colony management, much more personal and personalized; both stand on their own legs completely. It doesn't make me think "I could just be playing Rimworld instead" like a lot of games in the remote hemisphere of these genres typically make me think.

I'm going to steal this info too. I'll probably just buy the damn game. I was dreaming about it last night, that's usually an indicator I need to play more.

Has anyone tried cavalry? I want to see my big lizards charging on horseback, I'm sure it's great

Is the increased maintenance from a low foundation area worth building on? I have a huge patch of it running through the middle of my map.

kinda ass since now defence is now realy powerful and cav lowers that stats, that being said, charges also have been hugely buffed now, so you might use them to circle charge the enemy since charge impact can instantly kill units that are out of formation
have to experiment more

This is why Adventurer mod is one of my favorites along with alive scenes, makes it so wandering cities can be kind of interesting. Honestly really wouldnt mind for some in-city quests.

Also i think it would be cool for Devastate and Pillage scenes to be a thing, basically a battle scene where all you do is attack retreating people

That's why i think they really just need to create a sturdy random encounter system in scenes themselves, things you won't be able to really see or partake in unless you run into them, or unique characters that may spawn sometimes in some cities, ie
>scholar giving a lesson to a gathering of youths and upsetting the common folk
>family member of wanderer looking for them
>shady cloaked guy who might be trying to assassinate a notable(you can help/stop it)
>fiery preacher giving speech a crowd
>public trial and excution in progress
>mob gathering to lynch an accused witch
>militia doing training in the town clearing
>people preparing for a holiday
>homeless refugees squating in an alley
>out of control horse running around

> I want to play Rome and win or lose as Rome.
which is weird because it feels like Rome just mostly stopped being Rome after a certain point. like sure wow roman legionnaires, and then what did they do in the next 'age' or 'era'? I don't even know what Rome became after that. pizza, pasta, or whatever?

>>2287962
me personally (and I'm NTA) I like the concept of switching civs...at least on paper when it's more "realistically railroaded. for example you start as Rome and become either HRE or Normandy then modern France or whatever. so it's more historically grounded and ain't woke

>>2287913
It’s because they ran out of innovative ideas especially after the backwards step that hexs turned out to be and it’s insane reduction of the map size

Creative assembly is gonna be talked about in those 2 hour youtube video essays as some example of how to run your game studio into the ground, total war Warhammer was the beginning of the end. they religiously hate their fanbase who grew up with their games and its pathetic. I want the best for the game series younger me loved so much. I used to go home after a long day of elementary school crying about being a freedless loner only to forget it all after a nice few hours on Rome or shogun this is going in my sucide note.

Make stuff up for the borders based on what experts are hypothesizing now based on pottery finds

So wih these big historical timeliness mods, do countries do what they're supposed to do over that time?
Like will you see Byzantium collapse even though they own a shitload of rich core land?
I would love to play something like this even just to see how Europe changes over a thousand years just to learn what was where.
Will all the little Russian lands do what they're supposed to do? It's kind of a weird fine line to walk between writing scripts that force things and making (event pops up, these countries merge into one big core nation), vs empowering their economy in other ways to ensure some sort of advantage that makes it happen naturally (if that can be done at all).

This is the classic fool me once approach. As much as you may like to tout it as 'competitive' the reality is, it's not.

>>2287447
No, it wasn't. It was literally a matter of the comm barely missing the mines the second time around, and if he'd manually detonated and thrown his army at the comm right then he'd have won. He didn't lose because he went minelayer early, minelayers are an extremely cheap unit and strategically useful. He lost because his opponent had a more solid gameplan and execution elsewhere and he failed to capitalize.
