I recently started playing it for the first time and so far it's been a blast. You guys should be all over this.
>>2267113In AoE2 (demaster) the cultures basically all play the same because MUH BALANCING.In GB each one feels distinct, plus the campaigns are way better. Except for the Republic one, fuck that shit.
>>2267113It's more fun than classic AoE2 because it's exactly the same game with some new toys to play with, like shields and trade carts that hover over water, but it's pretty rough after getting used to AoE2 DE's quality of life and vastly superior AI.
>>2272914>AoE2 DE's qualityIsn't almost the same shit though?
>>2273610No, not really, if you compare how AoE2DE feels today with AoE2 from the 90's it's like going from Starcraft 2 to Starcraft 1.
>>2273610It absolutely is but some niggers get their kicks by larping a contrarian
I think players need to get the idea of what its like running a logistics train to your units. You could have munitions plants, ammo trucks, airdrops and resupply drones, which would produce ammo then deliver it to resupply.Also, RTS should track morale. Its important for people to understand that people don't just fight to the death in all circumstances.Air Support should be handled off site, its not a ground commanders job to handle the air.other, gamier aspects of RTS are still fine, but I feel like without these three elements the realism just isn't there.
>>2278152But not RTS, I'm retarded.

Why does no one attempt to make an actually good modern day game? Realpolitiks 3, superpower 3, Power and Revolution 5…list of failures goes on but not a single autism dev has managed to take this on and make kino.>in before modern day is boringFar from it, proxy wars, global markets, modern politics all make for fascinating and fun subjects if you adapt them into gamified systems.>nothing ever happensBut it does.

Does anyone else think that the stress mechanic is kinda broken and ruins the game?>character is compassionate and ambitious (25% stress gain)>you do anything against another character, be it fabricate a claim, kill them, declare a war, be mean to them, etc>you get a mental break every year or so because anything you do you get stress>eventually you're forced to pick any debuff traits My ruler got forced to get into a 400 debt because of this, because the game gave me the choice to either pick the profligate or improvident traits. This bullshit ruined my playthrough. Had to delete my saves and create a new one.
>>2256156I think morons like you should stick to phone or facebook games if a concept like repeatedly pick the option marked with all red caps may cause complications or the most basic resource management, complete with retardproof colorcoding confuses you.

What are some games that can meet the majesty of Patrician 3?
(2/2)i have some grievances with II/III: sieging towns as a is tedious and not fun (but worth it). Treasure map quests needing multiple pieces. Cand found your own hideout as pirate.Underworld reputation is an unfinished mechanic.Smuggling is undercooked.No fees for keeping ship in harbor. No true dynasty mechanics. now sea battles in Partician III are really fun, id argue better than most games with them. My dream strategy game would be Patrician III crossed with starsector. (multiple fleets actual goods simulation, growing and shrinking planets, treasure hunts that don't tell you where to go [annoing in patrician would be great in starsector], Buying industy on planets not your own, managing housing and infrastructure, offer loans, Player Storage manegement, feasts, marriage, Status is Planet based] >>2256319I have heard that sentiment before but my only copy of Port Royal 2 would not recognize itself as original disk, i have the booklet tho and it looks like Pt2 in better in every respect but combat (because it looks like weapon loadouts are locked and only 1 ship). i used to have the map too... >>2257228Comment too long.

>>2251567i've always wanted to try Patrician 3 multiplayer
>>2251567so I've never actually beaten this game yet. I'll get up to like 20 ships and then get bogged down in micromanagement. I have automated convoys but then I have to watch them lest they get raided by pirates. how do i do ultraprofitable shit and stuff. seems like the game just fades out.

>>2268516That's funny, because I was asking that in order to see if I should even bother updating it. I haven't found BL fun in a long time and it sounds like war sails didn't change much...
>>2286036it's over.maybe in 5 more dlcs vanilla will be fun.1.3 has good additions but they're not enough.war sails adds ships and changes trading somewhat.nothing worth a new playthrough.and they have 1.3.10 beta right now so it's a terrible time to go back into modding.PNanon sama, nice to meet you!
It's March 18 1258. It's been several week since I entered the hopeless service of the Welsh. We've successfully tricked the king of the Scots into banishing his vassal and lord of Stirling. However, one particular welsh nigger that goes by the name of Dafydd ap Gruffydd keeps instigating wars with everyone. Currently we're sandwiched between Scotland and the powerhouse that is the Gaelic Kingdoms, which has several kings in it. The king of Welsh, and myself are what keeps them from taking the little bit of land we have. I fear that Wales won't survive another year. What makes matters worse, England is not busy with war, so if our friend Dafydd does something, then Wales is lost.

I'm gonna keep asking every year until either the answer is "yes" or I forget: Any strategy games in which you control Santa's workshop? The gameplay would change over the eras: the global population increases, toymaking technology becomes more sophisticated (and energy-intensive), labor laws vary, government paranoia varies, et cetera. And it wouldn't just be the elves; you'd also have to plan Santa's yearly trip, and take care of the reindeer too.
>>2272868>Any strategy games in which you control Santa's workshop?nomaybe you should ask santa to deliver you one for christmas
>>2272868tl;dr noThere is some, but with limited features comparing to your wishes: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3196020/Twas_The_Night/Cool idea btw. Can be extended with battles of hundreds of elves of opposing Santas etc.

how do i fight larger nations as smaller ones? they just have insane amounts of levies and professional troops it feels impossible
>>2275956what??? the head of the orthodox church has allied itself with... an orthodox leader???HOW CAN THIS BE HAPPENING
>>2275728>>2275743I feel like have every city automatically be a center of control would be busted and heavily negate the mechanic, but there definitely needs to be a way of generating sources of control beyond the capital. Maybe tie it to some kind of limited building or location designation that can only be built in or applied to cities. Keep them fairly limited with a hard cap that is tied to country rank and or other stats like total population. Mayde the province in which a capital location could be the source of control rather than just the capital location?There is definitely the opportunity for a good mechanic here, but I suspect they will go all in on capital only control. As it stands it just isn't worth expanding past the core around you capital for reasons other than blobbing RGOs for trade memes which can somehow be extracted, catalogued, and transported for trade through territory that has barely any government control. They are obviously unhappy with the vassal spam meta but the control mechanic outright incentives it
>>2280701Could just implement the M&T solution of allowing the construction/designation of regional capitals, at the cost of driving your court expenses up since now you have multiple courts to maintain

>>2200328Honestly I closed my CK2 game to reply to this post and you're spitting facts man. -Le incest religion mechanics are a joke. They actually did update it post-Holy Fury by giving it a Saoshyant bloodline, but that's it. -The way multiple, overlapping wars interact can be the absolute pinnacle of war gameplay -- but it's also stilted and disjointed, strangely legalistic. >>2200357If it's not inherited, it's probably landed vassals plotting to fabricate. I don't see why him being a volcel makes him incapable of gathering a small army and attacking. It's not some random guy. He's a prince. And the AI, well, so it goes. It wasn't designed to have "preservation instinct". It just has weights on certain behaviors depending on character traits, so. DESU, I think that approach is realistic and fine, and even meta in some sense since preserving your kin/liege's realm/faith tends to be sub-optimal and just for LARPing. That being said, the AI is dogshit too.As for alliances, one thing to consider is that you usually have the ability to join their wars even if you aren't allies, and they could offer to join your wars too. If your justification is that it makes sense because you need to protect them, you can already do that. >>2200344Did you get the bug where your gods are sometimes replaced with garbage like ODIN_THOR_FREYA_etc.? If you don't select the right reforms, you get one of the most obnoxious localization glitches in the game. >>2243421This is very based. You have the heart of a real Crusader King, my friend. I used to be like you and just maintain raiding cultures. Berber, Norman, Magyar -- they're great. Unfortunately, it gets dull being the same 5 things. I recommend just allowing all cultures to raid. If you feel that it's a little broken, you can always choose not to raid. It also lets the AI raid, which is nice and even realistic.
>>2271984You should have your retinue set to raid at all times and use them as the vanguard for your standing army in most wars. It's not enough just to siege holdings down. You should look them first and get a second stab at taking prisoners.
>>2206738Paganism is by far the only interesting religion in CK2

I really wish this game was easier to mod
>>2175568I fixed the political parties issue, I think the big thing I ran into MP though was Artisan production being a bit fucked and not making milgoods, so I need to fix that eventually. For the province names I mostly copied the province names from the CK2 mod and then just randomly generated names for some of the unnamed islands and such.For flavor I need to run more tests and such because I want to make it a fun MP mod first and foremost and not really too interested in SP focused stuff, although I've been busy and took a break from modding for a bit there. I may work on my other mod though first before touching the Mars mod again:https://github.com/GODOG4/Vic-2-Vae-Victis
