>Humxnkind flopped so hard they've been forced to fix ES2 and hand out EL for free on Steam>nobody noticedWhat happened to those guys? They used to be hot shit.
>>1885796they don’t even have good art anymore, endless dungeon was hideous, they abandoned non euclidian robots, big titty lizards, and space elves for niggers
they have no idea how to make combat which is why endless space 2 is their only good game
>>1886371Combat in Humankind was fine. Slap that into EL and it's a good game. I think that's what we are all hoping for in an EL 2
>>1886205Never played that one, mostly just talking about the first Endless Space and Legend. If their art is shit too now though then they have nothing.
>>1885710oh yeah... I was one of the backers for the first endless space. I loved the concept and art, it was fresh back then. I disliked everything they did after... They had gone too full retard with the endless lore. Do something new
will you be playing this mess?

>>1885894I highly doubt SI has changed the ID numbers since the jump to 3d match engine so a current one is fine if you're OK with things like current juve badge and kit and what not.
FletchTheSauce is doing an FM network save with 12 players in the 12 league A-League on stream on Thursday at 7:30 UK time, sounds interesting.

>>1867821What's the most autistic thing you've done for immersion? I made up four newspaper pages about my career, my marriage, and the success of the prospects of my country
Game of victoria 2 where I played as the Dutch, teamed up with Russia, broke Germany up and turned them into puppets. After that I went to war with Italy who was allied to Australia, got 100 hundred war score and then annexed Australia without landing a single soldier there. Pretty awesome, I was playing crimea mod btw.
>>1885218>blobbing outside the lowlands in europeyikes!
>upper house locked by reactionaries >militancy at 9+>still can't pass any reforms >socialists refuse to rise upHELP
I hate that i no longer enjoy playing vic 2. Ive just done all i wanted with it. Oh well, eu5 looks like a spiritual successor
>>1885477If you were a real nigga you would use some 1848/cato street conspiracy event type shit to increase the reactionary % even further and then roll back all the upper house reforms to ruling party only so you can handle militancy by switching back and forth between conservatives and reactionaries and only passing the reforms you want/switching back and forth irrelevant ones for the rest of the game.

AoE Online private server has just released an entire new civ: The Indians! Anyone playing?
>>1884538>new civ: The Indians!ewwhy
>>1884538i wish more ppl play this gaem. it is much better than aoe 4...anyway, what are your best and worst civ? for me best Egipt, worst Persia
>>1886011Best for me are Egypt and Babs. Worst is Persia and Romans since they are so costly. Though desu I should probably switch over to celts or norse since I like infintry heavy civs.
>>1886011>better than aoe 4low bar to clear
used to play this game a long time ago, just solo the campaign or whatever missions. pretty cool it's still alive

why does tritach have no tactical lasers or graviton beams the time i want to build a disco fleet
Victoria II player trying to maybe learn Vicky 3, after playing it at launch and hating it for the economy micro. Does anyone have any guidance as to how many "infrastructure" buildings I should build, by which I mean things like barracks, conscription centres, universities, and government administrations? In Vicky 2 you just promoted the relevant POP types to the ideal numbers (1% bureaucrats, 2–4% clergy, 5 soldiers), but here I don't know what I should be aiming for.
>>1885286>lot of potential for growththat's korea
>>1885291Koreans are incapable of growing without intervention. They need a soft caring boot to guide them, be it China or Japan.
>>1885334Maybe in real life, but in the game Korea blows Japan out of the water because lol you're a part of the chinese market
>>1885194>>1885195>>1885265Probably because it gives them the opportunity to play alternative history where the Century of Humiliation is not only completely prevented, but China ends of as a global superpower. The irony in all of this is that the only reason the Chinese Communist Party is even in power today is because of the Century of Humiliation. A 1900's superpower China will have no reasons for the communists to exist.
>>1885972most Chinese don't support Communism.
>start game>USA>immediately design 8,000 ton light cruiser, 15,000 ton armoured cruiserTime to game.
>>1885582I really wish there was an option to coup my pussy-ass government.
>>1883468>subs and airplanes kinda suck. Wouldn’t mind just focusing on battleships until the 1970s.I started in 1890 with research rate 90 and slower aircraft, now it's 1920 and still haven't seen a single airplane, though submarines are definitely becoming relevant. I don't know if you can get rid of those in vanilla.>>1883708Looking beautiful, are those modded graphics?I for one am slowly replacing event pictures that aren't ships with 2D girls.
>>1883468Set research to 10% and slow aircraft development and you wont have an aircraft carrier in a battle until 1975subs you cant really get rid of without editing your tech file and erasing them from reality
can you randomly generate map and factions(or setup custom one)?
>>1886349>can you randomly generate mapNo, it's hardcoded.>or setup custom factionYes, there's a tool for it but I've never tried it.
>Follow the same build order every game>Adjust it with another build order after you scout>The only ""skill"" barrier is APM, so if you can't mash as hard as the other player you loseWow what a great genre
>>1886000>With the onset of AI improvements you'd think that RTS genre would improveyou have tech literacy of a geriatric boomer scared of online banking, please refrain from speaking out on similar subjects in the future
>>1885983Your thread is shit.
>>1885983RTSmore likeRetarded Trash Shit
>>1885983okay turn-based boomer
>>1886000>With the onset of AI improvements The currently hyped "AI" are specifically "Machine-Learning" AI.They aren't smart at all, they are just really fucking good at finding patterns in the data you provided them. To get them to produce a good result, you need first to feed them a billion examples.Except even if you fed an ML-AI all SCII matches from the toppest compfag, it would only be able to play SCII well. Put it in command of a different game and it will barely be able to do anything, much less play better than just having a script settings all units to A-Move toward the player's base.ML-AI can only serve as AI for a game that as already been released long ago.Which is fucking useless development-wise.
Hello, why is it that in CK 3 there are so many different religions spread across India?India is Hindu. There were no Muslims in India until and there were only very not many Buddhists. However, the majority is Hindu. Therefore, the provinces should be Hindu.In CK 3 a lot of India is Buddhist and Muslim; this is very incorrect. Hindu was the world's oldest religion and it was always the majority of India.Why do Paradox have an anti-Indian bias? In all of their games, they make India divided, weakened, and dis-united. Under the rule of Harshavardhana, India had an empire which was a rival of China.
>>1878740What does silk road trade even do for you in CK3? Shit, trade seems like it barely even exists in this game.
>>1879325gold and development
>>1865245>If we are removing unimportant places that nobody cares about we should remove Finland and Ireland.Ireland is very played region of the map, as it serves as tutorial island.And because Norse pagans are also very popular Finland exist to be conquered by them.However, who the fuck conquers India?
>>1880037>However, who the fuck conquers India?Yo
>>1859027So basically what he's saying is that indians didnt have a religion untill the british came and wrote it down, that "hindu" literally means "person who follows laws", that india is a fake country, and that the attempt to create a "religion" called "hinduism" has failed?
>look up Hearts of Iron IV playthroughs on youtube>look for ones, which start in 1945, the Endsieg/Goetterdaemmerung startdate>every single one ... without exception ALWAYS makes a last stand around Berlin or even worse around Schleswig-Holstein, to win the war by spamming AA and maintenance companies.This is ridiculous. This is like advertising a secret Nazi Zombie Occult Holdout on the moon, but then instead the Nazis end up in Caribbean and on Haiti and run voodoo/magic shops there to fund their movement. If you want to have Germany make this epic last stand, why not Norway or the Alpenfortress? Why not do exactly what delusional paranoid allied leaders feared Germany would do? Dig in the Alpes? Why make a last stand at the German endpoint of the flat European plain in the North? Why? Why why, I am crying, why do they always do this? This is so lame.
>>1885953This is cope. Germany could have and probably would have defeated the Soviets without allied intervention. Honestly the Soviets were the one major combatant at the greatest danger from Germany as the entire front was virtually nothing but land and air combat whereas the rest of the major combatants were across an ocean from Germany and beyond their reach.
>>1886199>they were planning to invade Germany first but German spies caught them which is the real reason Hitler invaded them back when he didtotally dude. If stalin hadnt put some tanks and trucks on the border, hitler would never attack the USSR. The anti-comintern pact? You're delusional, take him to the infirmary. Never happened. Wooden doors.
>>1886245>Wooden doorsThis but unironically
>>1886199>let's see the soviets win without trucks for offensives!most of the soviet war dead are from retarded pointless assaultsthings would've been touch-and-go without 100% of lend lease sure but a loss of just 45% is a tough sell for a german-victory scenario - it might just as well make the soviets more docile for their own goodalso the soviets had no plan of invasion for Germany except in the case of Germany attacking first. If the Soviets had any intention of attacking, at least in the short term (i.e. an actual plan and not a counterattack drawn up by zhukov in an hour), Stalin wouldn't have sat and watched as Germany gathered its entire army for operation barbarossa.
>>1871742It always baffles me that people thibk Mussolini was the crazy partner in the Axis and not Hitler.And that people don't know Stalin and Mao were ten times more crazy and cruel than those two combined.
>filters almost all historical strategy game developers Ok, how would you make a good Pike and Shot era gsg?What’s the timeframe, what is the map like? What are the units and meta?
>>1881619I like the theater mechanic
>>1885906It’s Sandrhoman, of course it’s good.
>>1886180Not sure why they never brought it back. It would have been perfect Warhammer II and III.
>>1886302feedback from Empire killed it

>>1881463>Rome Remastered was originally going to be more than a remaster, adding in a lot of the stuff cut from the original.>CA didn't like it, expected a quick and easy cash grab, and forced them to rush it out.>Gave it purposefully shit marketing so it wouldn't compete with Warhammer 3 for attention.>Flopped commercially so CA never has to listen to old fans ever again. >Medieval II remaster will never happen.>Feral confined to making mac and ipad ports.
>>1882848CA peaked with Attila.
>>1881563one of the greatest things in this game is how you can start in some shithole in G*rmania and end up migrated to Africa by mid game
>>1882848>>1884089nu CA actually hates the original series fans.
are there hidden requirements to subjugate a faction militarily other than them only having one settlement left? I need a puppet state for one of the bonus objectives of my faction's mission line, but for some reason I don't get the option to subjugate the one region faction I'm at war with. Do they also have to not have armies, or do I need to border them? Or can you not subjugate factions that can form hordes? Those are the 3 potential problems I can think of
Did ARA win?
>>1878270i feel like washington looked better in civ 4, eventhis game really doesn't look that great
>>1877320It's not bad it just runs like ass and has a bad UI with no quality of life features.
Phoenicians, Ottomams. Egyptians, and Persians and Babylonians are such good factions
It's pretty neat but the pacing sucks. You unlock techs faster than you're able to use the yields or maybe a skill issue on my part. I don't think I'll invest a lot of time into it it's a cool concept and shakes things up from the civ standardtt
>>1876169At least Millennia was fun to me. Humankind and Ara just felt souless..Also it wasn't 60$ on release.

>>1886194The trannies are just collateral damage of his giant ego that will ironically do more damage to the project than ten trannies combined
>>1885935WTF? I suddenly like Auirus??
>>1886192yes but there are 20 harpies waiting in queue and they will most likely kill you at the endonly after learning that not every sexual encounter must be done through vicious rape we get the "modern" look on harpies.
>>1885935what happened?

Command & Conquer status??
they recently had a new mobile game command and conquer legions that couldn't even make it past beta.
Played 3 missions of Dawn of Tiberium Age, kinda miss RMB to move and attack, am I just getting old?
>>1883082That's the thing it did not do that well. It underperform for EA.
>>1884482the only thing it had to do with command and conquer was the stolen raped name.
>>1883082>the first remaster apparently did really wellby RTS genre standards, not by a corporate global moloch standards
