>>1911779Sounds like me when I have the urge to eat at McDonalds only to be instantly reminded why I fry burgers at home instead. Just don't. Your stomach will thank you later.
>>1911798I don't know about you but I found Ukraine fun enough to play it twice. It's not that bad.
>>1911799By itself the RK path isn't bad, their shitty handling of the resistance factions just left a really bad taste in my mouth. It's not just the forced failure, but that they'll nuke you and then the devniggers tell you that it's to preserve the lore about the breadbasket. It's just insulting. If I hadn't interacted with the devs, I'd likely just think of it as mid and leave it at that instead of outright disliking it.
>>1911809You don't get it anon.>Japan getting anything in the pacific out of ww2? Unrealistic.>Russia getting anywhere close to its OTL territory? Unrealistic.>Germany losing ever? Unrealistic.>Things happening? Unrealistic.>Kyiv getting NUKED out of the earth? Akstually anon this makes complete sense and there will be no international repercussions for this or consequences for Germany this makes complete sense
>>1911822The cherry on top is that they also argued that this was necessary because Germany's story arc would be screwed over if they lost their breadbasket. OK, take this at face value and assume that there are literally no other sources of food. Guess what? Even in their own cope they have Germany irradiate their entire food supply and it's no big deal. It's just so exhausting even thinking about this.

Why aren't there more games like this? I want base builders that are actually fun and challenging not just micro managing shit mindlessly.
>>1909393Steam reviews claim that it's inferior TAB. I'm not defending that position, but curious if someone can describe his experience playing it.
From Glory to Goo is neat so far
>>1910584It's TAB + WC3's hero/world mobs.Resources/population control very similar.Hero gains levels, and the world spawns drop relics that give buffs/abilities.The waves that come in vary a lot more, but the maximum number thrown at you are a lot lower. The last 2 waves becomes stop & go traffic as the game catches up to all of the units spawning.
>>1911121that actually sounds pretty damn great
>>1911531I've been pleased by TAB's successors so far. They tend to either add some gimmick that works or just make an overall polished looking game that's at least fun.
>historic total war is bett..ackNope fantasy and magic is better
>>1909503what premise?
>>1909531Another anon, but the premise is obvious: 'history vs. fantasy' is an invention of the TW reddit. No one who despises what CA has done to the series in terms of gameplay thinks the issue is the setting. See comment about issues that started in Rome 2. Those who do think the problem is fantasy tend to have an inexplicably high opinion of Attila, a game with all the tone that 'history fans' want but is a thoroughly modern TW game, which is to say that it's trash. Just like Warhammer, the only thing Attila had going for it was the setting. CA can no longer sell any game on it's own merits: marketing took over the company because only marketing affects sales. No one who actually understands what made TW good to begin with at CA is in any position to make it happen. So there will never be a good TW game ever again, regardless of the setting.The people who think any of the games of the past 11 years are any good at all, universally lack the ability to make any coherent comment about gameplay, and don't notice obvious problems.
>>1909820that's not what the previous has said at allAlso, you are obviously right about the drop of quality of these games compared to, say, rome1/med2 etc. I want a historical game, not a fantasy-based one, because I want to play actual historical factions and relate to them. I can't do that in fantasoi games, I get burnt out really quickly.CA has a monopoly where it comes to this strategy subgenre. I wish the games were better, but if they aren't I want to at least play as Europeans
>>1909822Well you can't do it in any supposedly 'historical' modern TW game either, because any semblance of battles having structure has been ripped out and replaced with simplified stat-focused 'game design', with barely a nod towards the lite-simulation that TW battles originally started as. That has nothing to do with the setting. For the campaign, they've shifted towards the Paradox model of 'RPG' nonsense and mana/noun resources, where you get to role-play less as the Great Leader and more as His Irrelevant Bean Counter. As for the premise, it starts at >>1909408 and I am scornful of it, but understand it's origin to be the CA-controlled TW subreddit, where gameplay discussion is effectively banned.

Have you tried it again? Multiple patches later, is it good?
>>1908998The baseline of the gameplay loop is shit, so no amount of patches is going to help.Also, this game would be unironically 100x more interesting if they just made a game about Italian city states, instead of shitty, low fantasy version of it just for the same of it.
>>1909805What's the main gameplay loop?
>>1909943Theoretically, it's about managing your clan and its memebers as assetsActually, it's about passing turns until you get enough resources to do [insert whatever]Waging wars is shit (the actual combat system is interesting and probably the only thing worth any attention), diplomacy is brain-dead (don't bother) and you can always spend the turns you've passed to train your family members to max stats.Effectively, it's a numbers go up game, where the only challenge comes from bothering to stick around and keep playing.
>>1909805>Italian city statesThat would unironically be so fucking based, I'm disappointed we didn't get that now

Because the Remake sucks, I implore anyone curious to check out the original ROTK8 for the PS2 instead.

>>1911626Cao cao...
>>1911783Sorry, I wasn't clear. I want to become an emperor with a character created starting from the bottom.
is the sultan's ascend dlc worth buying? 2 new civs and 4 variants of existing ones. looks like there's some new map types as well.
>>1909145Anyone even plays this game still?
>>1911527there are dozens of us
>>1909151No because AoE4 as a whole sucks.
>>1909817Yea and introducing Crusaders without also introducing Muslims would be equally fucking stupid.
it depends on why youre buying it i guess. if you are grinding ranked then obviously because you need to be playing the same version as everyone else. for the campaign alone? def not. the campaign is really short and doesnt even accurately reflect the games civs because they are all custom hybrid civs to reflect the story. anyways japanese and byz (my main on ranked, solid plat 1 here) feel very unique. i havent even tried the other variants. oh and theres another dlc coming out in the spring so since youre a poorfag that cant just spend $15 or whatever a whim for something over a year old maybe just skip it entirely.
>barrack units?also fuck oranos (more like orANUS) players
any good mods
why do oranos/atlanteans players always try to drag out the games as long as possible even long after it's been decided. just played a game that went 30 minutes longer than it needed to vs an oranos player that kept building new TCs after I would blow his last one up.

>least hyped Stellaris DLC in recent memory.>No one seems to be excited for it.>Is it really that bad?>Couple of thousand views on Youtube for recent developer diaries about it.Adds a cool origin, interesting storm mechanics, and some unique civics. What are your thoughts about it?
>>1898804If the planet you’re taking over has some psykers or great buildings it’s generally better to play it safe and for e them to surrender

What happened to that event chain where a bunch of sentient gas clouds on a planet ask you for help? I swear I didn't get it for a very long time now.

Time to talk about the most popular and unfair franchise about defending Earth from Aliens.
Going into open xcom, is there anything I should know? A basic strategy? Noob traps? Things of that nature? The game seems interesting to me and I've played a decent amount of xenonoughts (never progressed very far in it) so I'm not totally new but some advice would still be appreciated
>>1909614Dont search in the mist if you dont want to get ambushed
>>1911723Ambushes happen everywhere. There are mods that restrict them to mist area, but by default you aren't safe anywhere. Not even within Mist Repeller Zones.
>>1909091Just knock the bug off your guys face

>>1903923The developers are a mix of Russians and central asians and they're openly Brezhnevites ideologically who are very nostalgic for the eastern bloc.
Can you restore the Russian Empire in this?
