I've been working on this puzzle strategy game about creating chain reactions for the past ~10 or so months with a friend doing the art. It's my first commercial game. Can I have feedback on the steam store page? What do you all think of it?https://store.steampowered.com/app/5423040/Ashes_of_the_Swarm/I used no AI for anything (code, music or art) if that's important to you.
>>2507703fug the bug
>>2507703>I used no AI for anything (code, music or art)I will now check out your game
>>2507703>I used no AI for anything (code, music or art)No AI music or art is good, but you can have a little AI code, as a treat.
>>2507703Small feedback for you, in scientific names the species name (second word) is always lowercase. So it should be Pheidole megacephala.
Anyone here play Travian?
At their core, all of these games are incremental number games with time-gated progress that can be sped up with premium currencies.They are the original online predatory monetization scheme games. I don't see the point of playing any of them.
The strategy genre truly is the lamest and most boring genre of gaming.
>>2507061>>2507084I got trapped in Citybuilder nolifing loops when I was like 12-14to win against the Germans who own the leaderboards in stuff like Tribalwars you have to do shifts, 3 players per account and start your city on the day the server opens and never stop playing until it ends It's like Gacha games but instead of draining your wallet it drains your time.Avoid citybuilders at all costs, do anything elseMost drugs are probably less harmful to your life
>>2506412I played it for a while a few decades ago.
>>2507221What a strange game, the only winning move is to not play it.
Age of empires 3 chads we are so back
i posted this in the age general, too, but figured it'd be read here tooThere should be a "regionally random" option tied to maps, expanding outwards in terms of relevance (such as the British, French, Iroquois, and US as most common in New England, followed by Dutch, Swedish, Germans, and Poles)Yeah it's a game with 0 developers now but it'd help form flavorful quick matches instead of having the Chinese and Ethiopians in the Dakotas
>>2500246can i unbloat it? i dont like those janky ass looking 1914 units
All these cool looking Mercenary units and every single one of them is dogshit because they take forever to arrive.
>>2501150>because they take forever to arriveI wonder if that's why they have been adding those "Ship X [insert Mercenary/Native unit here]. Unlocks them in your Tavern/Embassy/etc" cards.
New patchhttps://www.ageofempires.com/news/age-of-empires-iii-definitive-edition-update-19-18658/
Reigning champion Park Sang Hyun, Zerg Gigachad Soma, has won ASL 21 against the now disgraced Terranny, securing his second title and the SIXTH ASL in a row for Zerg Chads, contributing to a Historic Zerg Chad performance, the best ever so far. In light of this fact, it's safe to say that Terrannies have now joined Tossers, and will never win another title. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
soulkey looks like he smells bad
What would zergs do if consume didn't exist?
>>2507883They would still use defilers.
>>25078834 pool
toot pls
>>2507189If you mobilize to kill rebels you deal with uppity farmhands that will rebel soon anyways twice as quickly and it doesn't fuck up your professional army stacks btw. You DO NOT need a mod for this, just learn to play victoria 2 correctly sweaty.
>>2507180>>2507184>>2507189Wait I'm retarded that mod literally has a 'conform to template' button
I hope Claude Modding means we finally get Anbennar for Vicky 2.
>>2507510Still not really sure how they would handle assimilation though.
>>2508117Assimilation?s
Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre, and any derivatives in this thread!The Final Fantasy Tactics remaster is out, as well as the Tactics Ogre remaster. Also shilling the excellent One Vision mod for the PSP version of Tactics Ogre, which rivals and even exceeds the Reborn remaster, depending on taste.
>>2501493 >>2502169more like DnD Beta/0.1 . DnD started out on wargames with stats and equips for some of the heroes on the map.
>>2506694dnd was not about grinding until the game is not a challenge like fire emblem is>>2506225a big part of the skirmish genre is that people dont want to be starring at their phones, thats part of the return to tacticlity and tactics
>>2506882my point is DnD 4 was not a wargame or tactics game. i dunno why you would even mention DnD unless to reference its early roots as a table-top wargame "plugin" of sorts.
you are retarded dont interact with me tripfag
>>2479738Shining Force is as basic as it gets. You move the units around and play the story arc. The computer might dodge or crit, but there's very limited ai resistance. Brigandine is very fun for just fighting monsters with monsters and rpg. If you're not a great tactician, you'll just need to level up some more. All the empires are on a Risk map. It's like 6 hours of great gameplay. HoMM3 and Master of Orion 2 start getting into, you can't simply level-up your way to victory. You'll need to understand the calculations, or what units and items can drop, or see critical opportunities when playing the games on higher difficulties. Part of it is that the ai is better, and another part is that they cheat with the cpu players' economies hard. That's what most of these games are. Strategy like chess, understanding all your economies of units/money/territory/actions per turn/etc, faction diplo.Maybe the original xcom is best. There's so much going on at the same time. You gradually get better and each small part of the game. Your campaigns are like a collection of mini games. You become very efficient and skilled. Then you're a bit hardwired to play all of the genre quite a bit better.
Balancing update is out now. Bags n' Belts becomes even more overwhelmingly powerful. Carda's buffed First Aid now means it's viable to make her a cheap bundle of stats for the team. Most useless perks reworked to be much better. Grenade Tech stocks through the roof.
I love what they did with vehicle mounted mortar.
>>2507769Try to do different routine you shallow retard. You are boring.
>>2507798>ESL gets lost instantly>yet again
>>2507912When these threads first started he used to get into a tard rage because people didn't like the jeeta pilot, he's an insufferable little bitch
Most characters fit into two categories.Tolerable like a background noise. Bog like. Annoying in long run. Sure, that nigga Tek is funny at first but after hearing his same nigga jokes ×100 I would rather listen to pain drying. And of course some are annoying even in short run.
>mogs AoE>mogs paraslop>mogs crusader kings>mogs total war>mogs starcraftKNEEL BEFORE YOUR KING
bloons is still the better TD
Not better than ck2 or vic2 but all other paraslop yes
Ashes of Singularity is better than this shit.
I fucking hate the modern "rts" /v/ threads posters so much now I can't talk about supcom without being lumped along those brainless mongrel
1.0 is out. How are you runs going?
>>2508036Stay on mars, or at worst inner solar system.Unlock navigation in the magnum for monitoring and scanner. Server rack containers in missions contain the things for this. Or you can trade.Run missions for church and coven if possible to try to find a tunnel rat or marika chip or both.You can actually rebuild pretty quickly even in lategame. But you need magnum upgrades.You are in an arms race, but you control how quickly the game progresses in TL. Just don't travel between planets unless you need to.
>>2508048>tradeIt's nitpick but item that a market should just have a red outline instead of being darkened. It's annoying when several object have similar shape so you have to over the mouse cursor between the market and you storage to see if you have it.
>>2508048>Run missions for church and coven if possible to try to find a tunnel rat or marika chip or both.Should I choose a (or several) corp and stick to it or is it better to just be neutral ?Are mercenary/class tied to corpo ? I thought it was random.
>>2508289Your only real concern is powering up quickly. It doesn't matter where the chips come from, just get them.The factions have pools of rewards dependent on their tech level.Sunlight and Church both award all varieties of chips once they reach TL3.If you can get chips another way through barter with a specific station then prioritize that and use monitoring.Don't care so much about making enemies because you can fix it later with monitoring.
>>2508361All enemies can be turned into friends with the use of the trade shuttle.

>>2507914>a non "main character" nationA what? I think just about every nation in Bulwar has a unique MT or ideas.
>>2508004Non major power, I don't know why I said it like that. You just feel especially subjected to the whims of Jaddar, Zokka, and the big Phoenix kingdoms
>>2508006I actually find being a minor power in Bulwar easier than Cannor I at least don't have the Wex-Lorrent hug box or rampant AE you can't outgrow to deal with. Only one I never really liked was Bulwar city itself but thats because I hate waiting to declare independence
>>2508015Maybe that could be it, got really unlucky with outside declarations of war while playing the NSC harpies
Ice dorfs are worse, by the time you are out of your cave you have to deal with Grombar settling your missions lands while having 60+ FL and allied with Shattered Crown. Meanwhile no one wants to ally with you since they can't see you on the map.

Are there mods that you guys a hype for?
>>2505949Final cut when it releases.
why is this community so gay and dogshit?
>>2506426>Nazism is better than dixiecratsWeird hill to die on but okay
Thoughts on 1948 Dawn?
Did ANYONE play this fucking game?
>>2487931i always get bogged down somewhere in/after belarus and the south is a quagmire. Northern front is EZ though. >There is a ''DC Community Project'' in their website for freeIt has some mods like Yom Kippur war
>>2507514Apparently there is a new expansion or something on the way too.
>>2496365Logistics actually works instead of glitches out. >lrn2logiNo. It's busted as fuck because the programming fucks up once you upgrade past a certain point.
I only played the first one, From Warsaw to Paris, but it's missing many features from the newer ones. Still pretty funAre the other ones worth playing? Or should I just get Barbarossa?
>>2507514Weirdly oriented map
Time to talk about the new installment.
>>2507130Are you a contrarian or something? If anything, this game has some of the most OP units in all of FE franchise. Not that I mind, it is just funny when you compare it to even just Three Houses as its direct predecessor/prequesequel.
>>2507130There's some pretty bad ones but its mostly due to late recruitment and autoleveling giving them the worst results. Still with some luck you can at least salvage them and you get multiple chances to do it.Radiant Dawn still takes the cake for having the most useless shitters.
>>2506296There are some more girls, not on that one. From left to right,>Row 1Theodora, Tialla, Leda>Row 2Kalla, Fortuna, Aurora>Row 3Ludia, Halvin, Fianna>Row 4Emaralda, Loretta, Mikaela>Row 5Nydine, Inyoni, Noctula>Row 6Mu, Jasmine, Lillian
>>2489634it sucks balls
>>2507702Thank you, very cool.Feel free to recommend more waifus if you can, I want to stay up to date on my FE waifu lore to the best of my ability.
Why is this game considered both the worst and simultaneously most complicated game paradox put out? Im playing it and it is genuinely fantastic. The "dreaded" order of battle system is awesome if you spend 3 minutes to understand basic military structure and rewards deep autism. The only things I miss from HoI4 are the industry system cause I personally liked the whole idea of having to actually manufacture equipment.
>>2496055hoi4 is the tranny of paradox games. All dressed up to look like a GSG but take off the wig and you see an ugly shallow mess pretending to be something it isn't.Which explains why retards and perverts like hoi4 so much.Hoi3 was a game for men. For players with intelligence, focus, and patience. A near perfect combination of GS and operational level wargaming, almost. Much could have been improved, refined, and built upon. It could have been made into the Holy Grail of GS. But it never happened becasue the mighty dollar follows the lowit faggots and childish chucklefucks.
>OOB systemIsn't it just HQ units? Like, your actual combat units are under an HQ unit, a couple of those HQs go into a bigger HQ, a couple of those go into a bigger HQ, etc?After that it's just putting the highest tier commanders from the top down. The main problem with hoi3 is that it only works when it wants to
Does Hoi3 have fun scenarios? WW2 and schitzo WW2 are fun but is there more?
>>2506892No and never will unless retromodding it becomes a thing.
>>2506887You should stick to farmville sweetie
when can we get a Red Alert 2, Tiberian Sun remaster? Also why won't blizzard faggots put warcraft 3 on steam?
>>2501998It still does, for EA intentionally destroyed it
I am so grateful for the remaster of Shogun 2, I hope Tiberian Sun gets a remaster as well!
>>2499679>>2499678>>2499675you should just download them like cars. hack the planet. fuck blizzvision
>>2501134play it on lower res. any modern GPU can upscale the low res to fit your 60 inch screen or whatever shit you use.
>>2499679Do mtx in steam games HAVE to use steambucks? If they can introduce people to OW and D4 monetization systems and bypass Steam surcharges by charging credit cards directly, I can see that as being a good reason to specifically have those games up on Steam. No mtx in W3 to capitalize on.
