Do I need reinforced bulkheads or is hull restoration enough to guarantee I can recover lost ships?
>>2461541You may want both. Reinforced Bulkheads is good because it also gives you a nice hull bonus to tank some more damage.
>>2461541I have lost officer commanded ships with hull restoration before, but I don't know if that was just a bug with the code as there's a hard capped limit to how many ships are recoverable or if there's a slim chance that they can be lost anyway.

>>2461595Do these niggas dig under moats now??
>>2461612>Do these niggas dig under moats now??No they don't, they build a 1 tile wide bridge over your moat, and then dig + climb the walls
>>2461619Gotcha. I gotta get my bolt throwers up and running. I'm guessing it's better now to not leave a one tile gap between the moat and wall? Seems like I'd rather have them climb up then start digging down under it into my base proper
>>2461621Can't mount bolt throwers on a minecart track sadly, maybe that's too OP maybe Toady has no imaginationLeave a trap filled hallway under the moat, they'll die to it once, then never use it again, but your melee dudes will be able to station there and pop out from underground like viet congYou don't want to fight a melee anywhere near the moat
>>2461622Speaking of melee, is swords the way to go for my boys if I want to set it and forget it?
Polish tourism edition. Why wait ten years for EU5 to be finished when you can play EU4 right now?
Decided I'd finally give Spain a try after a decade of never getting round to them... Its genuinely the most boring great power I've ever played. I'd take mid game steppes Russia or the mandate of heaven over this somehow even colonisation is slightly more fun as England or France.
>>2460750Colonization is 1000x more fun as England as they're the only colonizer that actually get unique stuff for it (EIC, colonial ventures, trade protectorates, etc...)
Should I take all of Lithuania's Steppe land or just cut it off and let the rebels take it?Adding the Steppe land would be about 30 more WS and I can peace out right now for what I want (the Orthodox land)
>>2461342Don't you need the steppes for breaking the yoke mission ? If you didn't complete it the rebels will reactivate yearly tribute
>>2460750Best way to play Spain is Castille start and then Release and play as Asturias
Is anyone else playing this game? Really fun cold war sim. The gameplay revolves around radar and detection.

>>2426335Anbennar would honestly be way better without the Serpentspine. The world is way too disjointed because of all the untraversable terrain that neatly separates all the various regions into their own isolated areas.
what are the best/most interesting tags to play if I want to form the Empire of Anbennar through the imperial reforms? Wex?

All things Dawn of War.
>>2461005It replaces the angel of deathly beauty of Diomedes's voicelines with some generic shit (that maybe partly uses the voicelines of the previous mp force commander). It uuuuuh makes it so that banshees either can jump and can't melee vehs at all or can't jump but can melee vehs a bit with the Exarch (in original banshees can do both). After some "crazy breackthrough" in DoW2 modding it considered adding that stuff but I have no idea what's its current status is. Has a new faction which is basically what if space marines but + humans.Looked okayish but honestly what they did to Captin Diomedes was a travesty.
>>2461064Nothing really, I think. The mods just add more units and at least new factions. Okay, orks and maybe tyranids also get new buff buildings they can make anywhere in Elite.>to the point where there isn't even a single video of vanilla pvpAre there even several people making those? I know like one that's been constantly doing new vids and I understand he just takes the community's saved vids and those mainly (I'd guess) appear on some Elite mod discord or some shit. I once or twice found a vanilla retribution on the channel but maybe he has a bunch. The vanilla pvp is livelier than some so you can just play it if you want.
>>2458411There aren't any bridges on that map first off and second you realise you can see the number where each player will start when you're in the lobby? Just set starts to fixed positions and then have the player you want on your team in the corresponding number in the lobby. It's not rocket science.
>>2458411isn't there a setting called "teams together"? Granted it might spawn your teammate in the south instead, I think it just puts teams on the map clockwise. Use the numbers on the map preview and hard spawn designation settings instead
>>2446274People complained about this in Realms of Ruin tho

>>2448744>>2448691Play Warhammer hack n slash
>>2454595Warhammer could be a good strategy game if CA nor GW suck ass.
>>2401802>>2402333>>2402340Imagine if "Cultural Victory" in this games mean that despite you don't conquer nor own (in this case) Britannia, you convince Boudica to adopt Latin culture, if not completely at least partially. I can't believe how this genre (grand campaign / 4X) has the worst mechanics ever, despite they could have been so cool and fun.
>play Rome 2>start a new campaign as Selucid empire>fully focus on gaining territory, use family members as commanders, expanding my empire for some 20-25 turns>figure out (too late) that I have to manually select members of dynasty to get married to produce offspring.From 7 children of the faction leader, only 2 have had a child (because of their old age, I think, the youngest being 38) 1 of their children died in childhood. The only grandchild I have left is a 16 year old girl, I probably have to wed soon. Can my dynasty still recover from my mistakes?
>>2448397>What kind of mechanics, gameplay changed or disappeared that make current ones so bad?Replenishment, hitpoints on models, province system, 1 army per family member, garrisons, army losses system in battles, cowardly AI on campaign map.Basically almost every single major change was a downgrade from pre-Rome2 to post-Rome2 except the mechanic where you can't see enemy units until they're spotted by one of your units.
>Used to play this game back in the day on a 1080p monitor>Now I have a 4k OLED >Download the Resolution customizer mod from NexusMods>Resolution is fine but the UI is too small now. >Do a reinstall and then set the customizer to a 1440p res.>The resolution is all over the place, the second monitor (1080p) also glitches when I run the game. How the hell is a guy supposed to peacefully replay this game? I want to play it on a 4k or atleast a minimum 1440p resolution.
>>2461215>I want to play it on a 4k or atleast a minimum 1440p resolution.OK have fun dragging your cursor across 50 miles of screen space.These old 2D sprite isometric games were not designed to scale that high. The ceiling of comfortable gameplay is at 720p. This applies to games like Tiberian Sun or HoMM3 too
>>2461249I just want to know what I am doing wrong with the customizer. This is what happens in fullscreen mode.
And this is what is happening in windowed mode. I am calibrating and asking A.I. as well, but to no avail. Any help gentlemen?
>retard>first instinct is to ask AIchecks out
Stop being a retard and just play the game on a low resolution. My eyes aren't that good. I legit wasn't able to play this at high resolution, because of the miniature UI
9.00 beta is ongoing. have they finally fixed aux ships? are torpedo bombers in a playable state at last? we'll find out once the changes are finalized.

>>2460657at least its a bit better than x3 where the game ended as soon as you got your first destroyer

Enemy Nations, the open source RTS+City builder with online multiplayer is in pre release for it's next major update.Open Source version 3 brings cross-platform (64 Bit Windows+Linux+Mac), a new Stellaris-inspired edict system, improved ai, and lots of bug fixes. https://youtu.be/Bgl7CNl3iAghttps://github.com/EnemyV/EnemyNationsRevival/releases/tag/untagged-37d3fcc3ef820819e92e
>>2458697 >Art direction, specifically. They all look like blobs of some kind, and some of them have contrasting vibes.Fair enough.I'm not an artist, so that's not something I can fix. But if an artist ever joins the project I'll suggest this one one of the first things to improve. I can do programming stuff, balancing, localization, etcIf somebody else makes new portraits, I can replace the existing ones. >>2458694Nice. Do you play the OG version often?I'd be very interested in your balancing suggestions/ideas.
>>2458703It's understandable if art isn't your thing, but I'd look to something like Masters of Orion for better inspiration. Each faction should be distinct from any other.
>>2458705MOO2 is a true classic. Masterpiece even. Enemy Nations (1996) is a unique curiosity that explored production changes in RTS games before Anno was even considered (2002). It's interesting for its flavour, feel, and ambition. But, since I'm greedy, I want both. I plan to modernize Enemy Nations, finish it based on the original direction (lots of interesting ideas referenced in the code, like planes and rockets, but espionage and expanded diplomacy too). Basically, I want to bring some Stellaris mechanics into the RTS/City Builder that is Enemy Nations. I want all the civilizations/races/factions more unique as well. They all have very minor bonuses/negatives, but they're like +-10% for the most part, and uninteresting. Eventually, they should be more exaggerated, and unique buildings+units- basically like Civilization. And my dream is I attract an artist who can give it a much needed facelift.

>>2461183Yeah but in fairness it was never as bad as this with Tom and with Tom he was always able to get criticism as much as anyone else. Nowadays it feels like every mod gets jumped by the Reddit arbitrarily over the most petty shit but it isn’t even consistent, TTNW you can glass the Blank Panthers and still get the happy ending as RFK but they completely shellacked that one mod that implied the government fakes hate crimes or whatever only a few months before that came out, banned the mod and banished the creator. It’s not evenly dished out anymore.>>2461057I liked the mod and think the backlash it’s getting is pretty manufactured outrage.
>>2461269Nta but I’d much rather irony poisoned fags post in here than the usual seething exiled redditors/discordfags bringing up gay drama constantly. This thread is basically kiwifarms atp
>>2461281are you even the least bit cognizant of the irony in you wishing people would talk about the game more here when you can’t even be bothered to yourself. it’s hardly a big shock if you actually wanted to talk about this game which clearly nobody fucking does you’d fuck off to the Discord or Reddit and the 4chan thread concerns itself with whatever those platforms ban discussion of, but I’m sure we’ll be continuing this relentless bitching about bitching in the next thread too
>>2461494>the 4chan thread concerns itself with whatever those platforms ban discussion ofOh my GOD you are such a faggot. I was going to say you should find better things to do with your life, but clearly you and the other 5 posters in this thread deserve each other
>>2461506fuck is your problem? im not even endorsing that im stating a fucking fact that its basic logic the suppressed conversations will leak out here where there isn’t moderation to stamp it out unlike Discord and Reddit so what the fuck is so difficult to comprehend from that? christ this thread is pure cancer every new post is dumber than the last one
