This is stupid but incredibly fun. I love devastators.It's not great against actual fleets, Ordos, Kill Fleets, threat, shrouded etc. But if you can put this together early it's a very fun bully. Need to find shield stunt and a XIV version of this for maximum hull tanking stupidity.
>>2305399It's Dominator. At best it's going to be fun but stupid. Much better than the usual underwhelming and shit.
So, Shrike is an actual better strike destroyer than the Medusa and the scarab is a better strike frigate than a wolf? By strike I mean approach, attack, fuck off without dying, repeat.
>>2305432I mean under AI control ofc.

Kaiserreich has just released its complete South China rework, while TNO hasn't even released a compatibility patch yet. Can we just accept that it's over?
>>2305419The Iberia rework will save TNO
>>2305419It's never been more over.I see lots of mods having issues with the new DLC, but none of them have several hundred members like TNO. There has to be something with all their bolted on bullshit that breaks everything, hidden deep within their spaghetti code.>>2305421>Several months late>Still no sign of the promised content for the majors people signed up forYear late and a dollar short on that one I'm afraid. It's the best content they have in the oven right now but with the entire mod being destroyed by sweeping reworks it's not going to change the trend only slightly improve their downward spiral.
>>2305421>It's all fine, once the devs finish Spanish rework the mod will be back on its prime
>>2305433>Mango, the devs...>The devs were unable to meet the estimated deadline. After including DV in the mod, they estimate it will take at least until mid-2026 to finish the rework. We won't be able to release anything this year

In less than 24 hours, Park Sang Hyun, also known as Soma, will defeat Bisu, qualifying for the ASL 20 final, wherein he will defeat Snow, thereby avenging Soulkey's aberrant defeat and keeping the title in Zerg hands for the fifth ASL in a row. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

yes, mobile games are garbage

I almost never hear any strategy game fans mention this series but apparently it is very good?
My problem with KOEI games is that they evolve at a glacial pace and they charge exorbitant amounts because the japs (and people like me) buy up whatever they release because there is no alternative. I can forgive a lot of the older games like RTK4-7 for their flaws when I play them and they are actually quite good for their time in general but after what was a great showing with RTK13 I think they have stagnated big time and I hate the mobage style interface they use in general.
After playing RTK4 for multiple hours, I have to conclude that while mechanics are surprisingly deep, the game is ruined by AI being extremely passive.I played like 30 turns and conquered a third of China, meanwhile, Cao Cao just sat in his single city doing nothing but support revolts. His army was small, so I easily conquered, captured, and executed him.AI has basically been told only to attack when all troops are 100% trained, which takes forever, and doesn't actually provide great benefit.
>>2303118Liu Biao simulator.
>>2303118are there any mods for older koei games? maybe something can fix this
>>2236332Hey its a threat on these games for the people who actually know this franchise I was curious which one of the Three Kingdoms games plays most like the Gihren's Greed games? Since I know the Gihren's Greed games are a rip off but of which ones >>2236407 Since like they said the style of the Romance games changes a lot between entries.
commie-dwarves editionPrevious: >>2266425Avaliable for free at https://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/or as a paid premium version on Steam or Itch.io>What is the difference?Both are the same game on the same version (53.xx). The free version uses ASCII as a tileset (but you can mod other usermade tilesets and graphic packs)With the premium version you pay for a premium tileset + premium OST + access to beta branches and steam integration (if on steam).>!!NEWS!!11/03/25 - The first part of the Siege Update was released as version 53.xx, giving besiegers (goblins and humans) the ability to dig/destroy walls, build paths, more awareness of traps and killzones, and more.>What is next?Bugfixing/maintaince cycle and later Siege Update Part II, which aims bring some magic into fort mode by adding spellcasters and warlocks into the besiegers ranks, and have them set your dorfs pants on fire. Also some form of magical defence for your dorfs.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>2304959I got no problem with people going overkill in dwarf fortress. Though in my forts one mist generator block in a key location is enough for stable moods for sure
>>2304957I wouldn't reccomend it unless you lock him up somewhere and only have him to animate when needed.Normal, non-intelligent undead are hostile to life regardless of allegiance, and so will happily attack your own dwarves as well as the enemy.Unless of course you decide to make a necromancer fort, with children and their mothers held in a containment area until the child olders and learns necromancy on their own, that way nobody will be harmed and the dead rising only hinders the enemy.Food for thought
>>2304959It is overkill, I could've made less and it would be fine.

>>2302705W3Champions release winrates of races.w3champions.com/OverallStatistics/winrates-per-race-and-mapBasically Undead wasn't the weakest faction before the ghoul nerf so Blizzard wasn't picking on the weak race. But the nerf did drop their winrates and I'm not sure why exactly they made that change. Fixing Orc vs Human matchup and buffing units and heroes that aren't viable should have been their main priorities if you ask me.

>>2304145the magic rework will revive /vst/s interest in Anbennar
>>2305326Once people get bored of EU5, they'll come back. The numbers are already starting to even out between 4 and 5. Couple more months. Although if they keep a steady rate of big updates and DLC, people might stay on EU5.
