https://store.steampowered.com/app/2851820/Kriegsfront_Tactics__Prologue/

its not that hard when you don't play it like its advance wars, vision, unit rotation and artillery/air are really important
its kind of undercooked tho, still solid game but could be much more

Picrel was 6 in-game hours, i.e. 1h real time in afk mode.
But regular battles isn't that bad

Mah nigga. I did something like that, got the GC on the Imperator Augustus map mod, tweaked the Population (People of Rome) mod to work with all units, did some changes to victory conditions, added a mod called Greek Reforms to give upgradeable units to the Hellenic factions, added some other qol stuff, and good reskins. I like it.
Honestly, the only thing I miss from DEI is changing capitals and selling regions.

Did the Terror from the Void mod make the game good?

Yes, this is simply the best version of the game. New mechanics, better balancing and better integration of the dlcs. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

No.The devs just claim that most of build OP and nerf them to the ground, when buff their favorite builds into S tier.
DLC still shit. Rng with perks still shit. Vehicles still take 3 slots. Farm enemies for rss still viable.Balance (especially endgame) still shit, but in another direction: you will use dev's favorite builds or you will lose vs bloated enemies.
Need to code too much changes in build for make it playble. I didn't want to spent week of time coding for 20 or 30 hours of play.

Looks like I'm doing this over again. Maybe I should try some mods? What's good these days? Warzone has always looked impressive, but I doubt it has any sort of balance.

How is Firestorm in difficulty to the original? Only finished the first 2 levels for both.
>>
>>2155938
>Maybe I should try some mods? What's good these days?
Dawn of the Tiberium Age. It's more like TD/RA but extremely well done, it has multiple campaigns and better balancing than any of the official 2D C&Cs. Twisted Insurrection is okay too, but it's super jank, looks awesome though.
>>
>>2163017
About the same as the base game, maybe even easier when you realise CABAL's weakness. The missions are just more creative than in the original.
>>
>>2155938
I know the feel. My computer died a few days ago. Got a new one, didn't even have a chance to back up my C&C campaigns after I got it on Steam. Oh well, apart from those shitty commando-style missions, at least I'll have fun fighting some good levels all over again.
>>
>>2155938
OP if you want saves i can send you my files, they're non-modded and made on retail version so no clue if they work for steam or gog or whatever but they probably should
lemme know if you want any kind of help

>>2160265
i think it's finished now so you can sorta say "abandoned" i guess
its old music was absolute bonkers, i loved it
it went downwards since, sadge
the gameplay is very fun though, much more fast-paced than good ol Tib Sun

>>2163017
much better. The difficulty is on par but the levels are overall less repetitive. I +1 other anon reply, i highly advise you to play it
some of the new units are utterly useless though (limpet drone kek) but if you're a GDI main you'll like their new big chonky walker boi

Machines: Wired For War

Released in 1999, it’s one of the first fully 3D RTS games. You build armies of machines and can jump directly into any unit in FPS/TP view.

A sequel is what it needs.
WASD controls and an overview toggle would make it palatable.
>>
>>2164047
cool, somebody else remembers this game, i used to play the demo a lot. the unit voices were really juicy, especially the four-legged robots.

and just to add, since it's not obvious from your comment
>and can jump directly into any unit in FPS/TP view.
you actually do control the unit directly: you move it around, you shoot at things or build structures, it's not just looking at stuff.

Why didn’t you guys tell me how great this game was?

When it was in development I was very interested, but when it came out everyone said it kinda sucked so I steered clear. My first game of theirs was Endless Legend and at the time it was still a little too weird for me compared to Civ. But in light of Civ7 being the real Civ killer, I decided to give Humankind a shot recently and holy shit I am having a great time. All of the features that it shares with Civ7 it does much better. I also read that they’ve started giving it pretty substantial updates again.

Is the Together We Rule DLC any good? Also Humankind thread.

What are some annoying factions that make the game shit?
For me its Yuri in Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge.

You must attack them with the few long range weapons or they capture your units.
Their stupid Gatling tanks have wide range.
Their air defense is impenetrable.
You cannot sell their miners, although they can be built as a building.
Their commando unit can capture the strongest defenses from a distance.

KR canada is downright not good until atleast 1940. The biggest most clear drawback it has is no manpower until a major war kicks off. None of your allies want to give you garrison manpower either and in KX most of the entente can break away or join your enemies.

The fun part of US is using your near infinite production and resources to arrive at '41 with some absurd arm build that would never be practical otherwise.
You're the only country in the game that doesn't have to care about HP because you can just out produce your losses on such a colossal scale. You're also the only one that could possibly build enough strategic bombers to ever matter, or rush nukes fast enough to them to actually matter.
