The reward hyperion is just a regular hyperion with shitloads of mods. It's better but not unique. x4 doesn't have all too many unique ships, and I think most of them come from timelines.

Civ 6 has so many pullies and levers for you to manage in order to keep your empire running at maximum efficiency that it made people forget it's supposed to be a strategy game. Want to rush a tech? Here's a bunch of eureka quests to keep you busy. Buildings need districts and districts have adjacencies, have fun puzzling it out! Don't you dare try to improve some tiles without making sure you have the right policy cards slotted to maximize your builder efficiency. You can't even open the city screen without being bombarded by pages and pages of statistics and modifiers. All these interactions are "meaningful" in the sense that it can have profound affects on your empire if you ignore them, but it does nothing to drive the narrative forward. It's the stuff you've got to do to keep the engine running, nobody's making plays while they're busy min-maxing their build. Every civ game is guilty of this to a certain extent, but 6 absolutely revolves around this sort of gameplay.

The best strategy is to ignore most of the game, build a few dozen units, and crush the AIs because their armies are always tiny.

>The ones you need and the ones you need only. Every single time this has been tried it fails miserably and forces you into boring min max.
I am not sure what your sentence means exactly. Could you explain it in more detail?

But a lot of improvements are not available early until you unlocked them on the tech tree or available only if you Suz a city state or a specific Governor. Which means you cannot place them anytime immediately, and if you just keep waiting then otherwise you are just leaving unimproved land waiting instead of making use of it.

That and "Appeal" is a thing which require extra care for not leaving your land ugly with improvements which are needed for National Parks and resorts. Retooling parts of your empire for tourism in the lategame is also a thing.

And we didn't even talk about adding wind turbines or solar panels to increase power output in your cities to help science victory along.

Have you ever imagined playing a FM campaign with your players being strategy characters like Kane, an Autistic German and Gandhi? Well sadly that doesnt exist yet. But if you want to see those players play on the field in a ai vs ai match you can press this link below

https://isthisliv.com/4cc/stream.html

WTF is this?: This is part of the four chan cup which is vitual Association Football tournament, played with AI vs AI on Professional Evolution Soccer by Konami, featuring teams made up of various four chan boards playing against each other.

/vst/ plays today but we are one of the last games vs /fit/

HOI4 is still fun af, it’s just that the losers who’ve been playing the game for 10 years on historical AI and know all the meta constantly complaining.

I just had a game as the US where commie Mexico caught me off guard and I was forced into war with them early despite still having pretty much the same ass army from 1936 but with better templates. I had to use my superior navy and airforce to overcome them. Shit was kino, it was like the Pancho Villa expedition but with planes and boats and shit. I wonder what the newspaper headlines in that universe would’ve looked like.

>I wish Starsector was based around a solo ship
You could not make a more idiotic wish in the history of wishing for stuff.
We already have too many solo-ship games.
Controlling a fleet is the entire selling point of Starsector, the gameplay is entirely built around needing multiple ships combat & support.
Beside, you can already control your own ship, so you are just asking for a cheat ship with infinite storage and zero maintenance.

It's like asking HighFLEET to only have a single ship.
>>
>>2438587
>>2441366
>>2448884
Nobody wants fleet gameplay retard, the whole point is you pilot one ship, and the gameplay wouldn't work otherwise.

At best you get phases (long range -> medium range -> close range to give big ships more reason to exist) or off-screen support. If that's not enough for you go play something else.

Fool, when setting up my bindings for DWM, I mapped a separate bind for SIGKILL, allowing me to instantly terminate any program.
You can't disable SIGKILL by just handling it, it's a direct instruction to the kernel to terminate any given process.
Don't think there's a way to bind that on windows tho.
