Do people actually enjoy planet zoo? They are so fucking autistic and focus way more on the building aspects instead of the animals. I enjoy Jurassic world evolution much more because of the heavier emphasis on dinosaurs instead of building.

Also, while it says you need one of the games installed to play and I do own the games on GOG, the Linux appimage version does not seem to check for those, as I can play without having any of the OG titles installed and still run the campaigns and intros.
Full disclaimer: I love those games! I'm not good at them, but they are the pinnacle of the cheap, low-end, early-2000s Eurocore that kids

Manor Lords already released ages ago, it's called Warrior Kings:Battles. You have a manor and village and peasants and you do some battles. This game is like that bunny rabbit fighting game from way back, took 100 years in development and by the time it released fully no one was interested

It was never sold as a TW-like. A couple of faggot influencers took one brief glance at the combat and decided to shill it as a TW killer for cheap clickbait, and retards like you fell for it. Neither the dev nor the publisher ever said it was anything like TW.

All this time and no one just posted the fucking formula:

diff = offense-defense

if diff >=0
chance = 1-0.5*0.775^abs(diff)

else
chance = 0.5*0.775^abs(diff)

Initial anon was correct, you can get large enough that the possibility of the enemy succeeding is effectively zero. And no, the idea that ALL the CPU councilors will be attempting to take the same point from the US or China every turn is generally not going to happen, and even then will almost certainly not succeed even with very high or maxed out stats. Once you control a larger bloc and have it defended and are popular you are basically unassailable without Enthrall missions.

What about making their control points drop? That's what I do if I really want take some country, kill all their agents and destroy all the habs with control points bonuses if any. They stack all their adm orgs to some noob you can then detain so they don't get the bonuses.

Can you still effectively neuter Servants by killing all the first wave ayylmaos and prevent any new ones landing or killing them the instant they land? That used to make Servants unable to proceed on their objectives thus never gain the ability to build bases for the hydra or give them land or get resources from them. I don't recall if they could still plant xenoflora.

Which one is the better option for a 30 year old boomer with glacial reflexes and sternutative lumbago? I just want to have big epic battles against bots without having to get too sweaty into the micro or unit statistics.
On one hand Regiments is supposedly tailored for players like me who want to jump into procedurally-generated battles against the AI but on the other hand the units look like vomit compared to Warno. Are the AI skirmish battles in Warno any good?

>wargame
>unit variety
kek. everyone just uses the same meta units. divisions are much better even if eugen shits out divisions since basegame divs already have quite a bit of variety.
>>
>>2498674
If you have to buy one, buy Regiments for gameplay.
Then pirate Warno and Wargame: Red Dragon to look at the units and play pimp-your-military. Warno has really impressive campaigns in theory but they basically need to be played with at least one other person to control the other side.
Pirate Broken Arrow to have a laugh at Russian delusions and play through the campaign once, it has really bad single-player otherwise.
>>
>>2500676
I actually like the limited number of cards per deck. I can understand why you only get three squads of SEALs in WARNO and it makes things like poor quality reservists still a useful pick if you expect the game to go long and for both sides to suffer a lot of attrition. Getting 14+ units on a single card, even if they're trash that mostly function as a speed bump so your artillery can land, has its uses and it's fun to watch an enemy stall out because they burned through good units too quickly.
>>
>>2502850
i like it too. i am also a big fan of the phase system in steel division though i know that's more controversial it seems.

Some games that are in the Wargame genre:
Wargame European Escalation
Wargame Airland Battle
Wargame Red Dragon
Steel Division
Steel Division 2
WARNO
Regiments
Broken Arrow
World in Conflict
Tom Clancy's Endwar
The Last General

The campaign in Wargame European Escalation is ok but it is very challenging.

Plenty of women have had children in their 40's. Pregnancy is much less likely, but still a possibility, so long as a woman has not experienced menopause yet.

I get similar ping in EU (~150-175ms) and haven't noticed anything like that. Dropped packets shouldn't be too much of an issue unless you're using the UDP connection setting.
Bloodbath won't work if the unit is killed in the same hit that applies bleed, so it's a good idea to run OSOK with it if you're going for a chainkill build to recover AP on the enemies that get one-hit.

My first city got destroyed by raiders and I'm trying a multi-culti city this, going well so far at 1300 people. I'm trying to build up a military this time not to go down the same way but that shit is expensive

Picked it up recently and really enjoying it even if it takes a lot to get into and the unit designer is a chore.
Anyone have any advice on economic victory? The other ones seem to be 10x easier, at least with their designated factions, but the fact that mind control costs double with bad relations, and everyone but the UN hates the optimal social policies for money, hurts.

*They could even do something in between by combining ship battles on a 2D plane in space (in real time) plus a third person land shooter in the style of Diablo/The Ascent (or just a good old turn based combat system like Zero company). Remove the shackles, give the player some freedom (work for the Alliance/Empire/be a pirate/Trade, whatever the fuck you want) and you have a winning recipe. Much easier to do than a first person game.

fuck that took forever, the way the enemies just get so many armies is obnoxious, I hate the final battle being so reliant on having heavy units that are good at fighting single entities, and some times the requirements for building things is bullshit. the last two hours were spent in pointless border wars while rebuilding Altdorf up to a top level settlement again after it was wiped out by a randomly spawned lizardmen army

I still have it installed, latest release. Another thing is that historical battles are also fucked up with the wrong weather settings. It's a sloppy project and the devs are currently more focused on things like allowing you to rotate the campaign map in all directions or changing how the game's lighting and water look to ensure that the base stuff from the game works like it used to before adding new things.
