Alright, Mr. Anon. You got one shot.Tell us your best-selling strategy game idea.
>>2135526Isn't that what the Romance of the Three Kingdoms games are? This seemed pretty autistic to me. I guess I wouldn't mind a more modern one of those, I only played the really old ones on emulators.
>>2134750based
Sounds like a high 6 figure question. Please provide contact details for contract negotiations.
>>2135526Good newshttps://store.steampowered.com/app/1189100/Rise_Of_The_White_Sun/
>>2135919You know that game looked kinda meh when I first saw it God knows how many years ago but it looks pretty alright now.
Abandoned another run halfway through award
>>2127832... and other than making the game even more tedious with even more pointless bean-counting, what's the actual gain from doing so?
>>2135469>The devs are actively fuckiing up the game... first time?Pretty much everyone dropped from playing this came in spring 2024, where amount of "fuck you, player" bullshit reached critical level. And they aren't stopping with this or even slowing down
>>2135608realism
How am I doing?
>>2135032vst full of shitters. It's no surprise.
Is there a more powerful or ferocious creature?No, of course not, and you would be foolish to think otherwise.
>>2127480Making fires in school = arsonLifting girl's skirts in school = sexual harassmentboth of those are serious criminal acts deserving of paramilitary ball-kicking
>>2135705God you have no idea how much i want irene to kick me in the balls till i fucking die.
>>2135705Sex with female ESP users
>>2135705Arson is based and heroic when Irene commits it.Also you cant convince me that Bianca doesnt use her wind ESP to try and lift Giselle's dress up on the daily.
>>2135268He is. But that is simply because he is hiding from the IRS.
Talk about new mods, mods you're hyped for, etc.CTS: campaigntrailshowcase.com/campaign-trail/index.htmlNCT: newcampaigntrail.com/campaign-trail/index.html
For me, it's the ending where you drop out and endorse Andrew Jackson, making him president 4 years early
>>2134744my favorite is this one
>>2108426>Palestine is a huge issue in the mod>over wokenessIsn't Palestine a subset of wokeness?
>>2135601Eh, not quite the same level as trans was for the election.
TCT fucking ruined HOI4 and I hope all TCT modders commit suicide.Game looks alright though it just seems to attract the worst fucking subhuman filth on the face of the fucking earth.
Booted up Master of Mana again (a submod for Fall from Heaven 2 for Civ 4), and damn, this shit is fun as fuck. So much to discover, so many little details. But sometimes confusing as well.My vampire militaristic empire is doing well, currently preparing an invasion of the Bannor. A shame that the early game can be so annoying with hordes of undead, orcs and goblins swarming you from every side.
>>2135591>mfw finding 30str ice elementals on the sole land tile connection I have to the rest of the continent
>>2135591what's about Fall Further?
>>2135593On the bright side it means no one else will be attacking you anytime soon.
>>2135575Imagine how accomplished the mod maker must feel. His wacky mod spawned an entire anime.
>>2135562Base ffh 2 is the best for me
In 2020, we friends laugh how awful of a sequal this one was. 5 years later however, is it any better? Has the dlc made it worth reinstalling?
>>2110965Each territory is constantly assimilating pops to your culture, converting them to your state religion. Growing one random pop in the territory, receiving an immigrant from another territory, and sending an emigrant to somewhere else. Promoting a pop from slave to freeman, freeman to citizen, citizen to noble, or demoting a pop in the opposite. There's also tribesman but they don't want to live in the cities.Only pops of your main culture, or integrated cultures, will provide levies. You can also interact with other cultures, granting privileges to make them happier, or enslaving them or trying to breed them out.
>>2134840Lol, CK3 actually more advanced culture system.>So you have the Hellenistic culture group, and inside it there's Spartans, Athenians, and so on.That's same thing as in every PDX game, except in CK3, in addition to culture groups, cultures have cultural acceptance based on cultural ethos and actions.For example, if two cultures have the same cultural pillars, they might still like each other if they have same cultural ethos.They are also impacted by actions, for example, every time the Swedish king declares war on the Danes, cultural acceptance between Danes and Swedes decreases. In contrast, every time a Norwegian ruler marries an English woman, it increases cultural acceptance between Norwegians and the EnglishThere are also languages, each culture has a language, and some cultures share a language, which makes them more acceptable.On paper, it's a good and natural progression, but CK3 doesn't really do anything with it; it mostly impacts popular opinion.They only added the system so it can be used as a threshold for cultural hybridization.
>>2135858See that's the thing with CK3: it tracks all sorts of interesting things, and then does fuck-all with them.
>>2110642It's actually worse than it was in 2020. Back then it was a simpler and dumbed down version of CK2 with prettier graphics. Now it is a bloated juggernaut full of disjointed and unnecessary features that can't decide what it wants to be, a grand strategy or some sort of storytelling quasi-RPG game.
>>2111170Can't you just build dread and do whatever you want?Or is dread useless in relations outside of your realm?
Started playing after some anon recommended it here and its good, nice quick rts (match dont usually take longer than 20 mins) with masssive ammount of units. its basically free and i had some fun so far.
>>2134000Always #1 until the time it takes to get a unit moving out from where it blocks followup building becomes a factor. Factories have lowish BP, a nanoturret has 3 times theirs.
>>2134047>until the time it takes to get a unit moving out That makes a lot of sense thanks.
I'm a total noob at this game and have accepted the fact I can't into meta and will always suck at pvp. I usually do decent as a frontliner tho, and have a blast doing coop vs AI or scavs/raptors. The metal plate nutty raptops with raptors in the middle can get fucked tho lol.Also, is air even fucking necessary? Seem like a complete paper tiger. I usually put up one t1 AA right away, then once I hit t2 AA, it feels like anything the enemy (real or computer) gets completely clobbered. I honestly believe if I played the 'air' spot, I would just maybe fly around with a con and make AA turrets and fly a couple scouts into the enemy. Then maybe just build turrets everywhere lol idk. I literally a noob that sucks at this game and, last time I played Glitters, three of my Shredders completely destroyed the entire enemy air, and the one Arbalest in the back finished the rest off. I wasn't even paying attention.
>>2134069>lso, is air even fucking necessary? Seem like a complete paper tiger.Air counters air. If there's no one challenging air, it can be GG in an instant with bombers. AA does shut them off easily, but also get costly for frontliners. And a good Air player also does support for the frontliners when pushing and scouts ahead.But yeah just keep playing with people and do your best at any role. If you can hold the line you're doing your part and more than most players. Communicate what you need and that goes miles away rather than just sit without playing as a team.
>>2132727pretty sure devs said they don't really want to implement that everI don't remember what the excuse was though
How is this FoG Kingdoms compared to Empires? Worth the purchase? I have a ton of hours in FoG 2 and E and recently started playing Medieval. I Kingdoms worth it or is it just more of the same as Empires?
I've only played a little bit of Empires (sub one hour) but have played over 100 hours of Kingdoms. I would say it's worth it. I particularly enjoyed importing battles to play in Medieval. Some people say that this ruins the balance, which I guess is somewhat true, but to me that was most of the fun was building armies and then getting to fight with them. The strategic aspect of Kingdoms is okay, and the building "mini game" is actually pretty fun and there's a ton of different buildings to choose.
>>2134346I tried it for a bit but didn't stick with itIt's on gog so you can easily pirate and give it a try
>>2134446I don't do custom battle imports, but from what I've heard it's much improved in Kingdoms over how it was in Empires, at least as far as how accurately your army lists convert over to the battles
Is it worth buying Rome Remastered for this?
>>2132884Filthy casual
I used to love Rome: total realism and Europa Barbarorum back in the day. I bought Rome remastered out of curiosity and tried it but I ended up refunding it, it felt really janky and clunky and stuttery. You can’t go home again
>>2132884>I just want a few dozen or so more historically accurate factions and units.There are already mods for that though.
>>2132626no play vanilla or Rome Expanded instead
>>2132626It's fun.
>Build production for 2 hours>Get to the good part>Find out you missed something>Redo step oneWhy do some people think this is better than the other Paradox games?
Am I the only one who doesn't want to own any of the DLC post No Step Back because the new mechanics seem too tedious? I don't want a designer for my planes or to design my war industry.
>>2135433If I were ever to replay hoi4, I would roll back to an old patch prior to any DLC.
>>2135433No.The worst aspect of the dlc's are that they add meaningless busywork but also have a nonzero number of interesting additions.I actually think the enhanced designers and war industry are interesting and good. But they're tied to garbage that makes the game less enjoyable.
>>2135433Anon... The game is braindead as is. Why would you want it even simpler?
>>2135433Dunno but multipurpose planes and tanks tailored for entrenching/defence or whatever you need are based af
It's up
>>2096812Literally what difference does it make?
>>2134770Nothing, you just get a cool new lord sprite that can be used in multiplayer.
>>2134768the screenshots are really weird. everything posted here looks like ass but ingame it looks just like the original
>>2134916I meant protonmail. What does using protonmail change
>>2135090>make proton alias>send mail>delete alias>never get any mail from firecuck ever again
We had Starcraft 2. It dominated the genre, gave us 15 years of relatively good stuff and encouraged Blizzard to take another look at BW and Warcraft (that went poorly). It was so good no other RTS could compete, which arguably hurt development of new titles until SC2's popularity started to down die down. And now we are fucking doomed. Every single new game or project looks like shit or low effort game for whales willing to spend their money on something they won't play for more than 30 hours. Age of Empires: zzzTempest Rising: okay but no ambition to go biggerStormgate: lolBattle Aces: okay start but it probably wouldn't go anywhere Zerospace: abandonware? The only hope I can think of is some Saudi prince marries a daughter of Chinese billionaire and their parents buy them a video game company to get some positive PR or just a way to watch dollars burn. Please give me some hopium or just discuss if it's possible to make things even worse in the RTS scene than they're now
Anon, you don't want a new RTS.You want to be young, to have reflexes, to the biggest fish in a small pond. You wish for a time when you could beat your normie friends in LAN parties instead of having to use the intent and be forced to meet people who are better than you.
>>2134727>>2134756Nothing about it ever looked appealing. C&C was my intro to the genre and it was awhile before I played Warcraft 2 & 3. When I did I felt underwhelmed.
>>2135318
>>2134845I don't understand how people can go from dunking on the fag art style of Stormgate and then look at Zerospace and say>WOW! Promising, very promising!It's an identical product. A floaty 3d bulbous gay RTS for redditors.
>>2135765zerospace has titty monsters and proper insectoids instead of space fucking demons
>We have Command and Conquer at homeAnd it is surprisingly decent, though I wish that it had more maps, map editor and generally more options for multiplayer and skirmish stuff. Being limited to at most 4 players/bots on a match is extremely lame.
>>2131694>>2131689
>>2131694>catered exactly for this board?Oh yeah tell me what tastes "this board" has and what that game would look like
>>2131694Its a Mail.RU shitware
>>2131441>>2131694>>2131759Game installs a kernel access anticheat (ie. a rootkit). Wouldn't touch this or any game by the devs/publisher with a 100-foot pole.
>>2131521They can even fix that after, according to the user feedback, if they want to.
modding is pain
>>2135295>eagles champions and herons>not falcon enhanced by our best friend the pirate faction
>>2135589you VILL live in ze squash pod and you VILL be happy
>>2135356>carrier deck in space>fighter goes up elevator >keeps going up
>>2135750thankfully it is sci-fi so they have the technology neccessary to handle this
>>2134886I've tried it long ago, it's actually really fun with everything being spread out instead of just a super busy center. The problem is that especially with a lot of newer mods and story all of the scripted extra content tends to break.
WHY THE FUCK IS THERE STILL NOT A SINGLE GAME WITH DECENT AI TO PLAY AGAINST?
>>2131572>wants difficult Artificial Intelligence>why not just play against humans??????
>>2131572By that logic why play video games at all? Just go outside and start fighting peopleNow that's real gameplay!
>>2131575>>2131600i get it you cant handle people saying mean words
>>2083998Show me one (1) game where the AI doesn't cheat and the steam reviews are full of people complaining about the AI.
>>2131572>join multiplayer lobby>wait 2 hours for enough people to connect because the game has a low playerbase>match starts>2 players start lagging the shit out of the lobby because they are playing from afghanistan>game disconnectsyeah, right
