So I remember playing AoS on Starcraft.I only vaguely remember it, one time I had a zergling, I was upgrading it way more than the standard 3 max, which was the custom of the time for rpg style maps.Left to Right, not bottom left to top right as was the later standard(possibly started with Aeon of Six Gods in wc3, but maybe not)Day 1 on warcraft 3, I remember getting on battle.net, and already playing an AoS map, left to right, there was a blademaster hero that someone had lowered the Blue and Green colors to 0, so it was bright red. I don't mean the chaos orc blademaster.I recognized the map, as a classic starcraft map at the time, it wasn't my favorite in starcraft, and I played more stuff like rise of rome, war of the ring, diplomacy, rp maps, starship troopers, and some rpgs.Not long ago the origin of Dota/LoL came up in a conversation and I referred to AoS from broodwar, and someone corrected me and said it was before broodwar, in vanilla StarCraft 1, and it kinda made sense to me.Googling it right now I see claims for 2002, but that looks wrong to me.In July 2002 I was playing AoS in warcraft, and I remember thinking "ooh someone already made AoS for warcraft", feeling like it was a classic map, and it would be weird if it was only a few months old. That was a long time ago, and I was a child, so a half a year could've seemed like a long time I guess. I have a lot more memories from other maps, so in a way it makes sense I guess.Anyone else remember the original AoS, and early maps, could it be older than 2002?
>>2162897Bump
>>2162897If I remember correctly, the AoS map in StarCraft was actually based on a map that played almost identically but was named after and based on Dynasty Warriors. I don't think either of them were in StarCraft before Brood War (1999) but I could be wrong.
>>2162897where to get this for 1.16.1?
>>2166948The scmscx map archive indicates the earliest modified Aeon of Strife was January 19, 2002 and this reddit post seems to support late 2001/early 2002 at the earliest: https://www.reddit.com/r/lostmedia/comments/bfh0ha/i_found_the_missing_copies_aeon_of_strife_and/I think our memory is that a lot of the classic ums maps were around pre-2001, but it seems that wasn't the case and most of the custom maps pre-dating that were simple variants of zergling blood/madness maps.
>>2170373>I think our memory is that a lot of the classic ums maps were around pre-2001It makes sense I guess, just feels a bit surprising.Like perception of time is very different depending on your age, like 3 months as a 30 year old vs 3 months as a 10 year old.Kinda cooler in a way, that this early 2002 starcraft map, had like week 1 versions of it in warcraft 3 six months later, which then boomed as a genre.

>>2170772>How is ST:Frontiers?Looks like an expanded version of Space Trader, a PalmOS game that went open source and has a bunch of ports and copycats.

>>2166207how is it fraud though production director for a game like stormgate sounds overkill just like their idea to turn it into a franchise or sports before it was even released with minimum features I have no idea what Morten was doing but if he took a glance at the editor then he should have insisted that people start over and work out a class based visual scripting language instead of copypasting blizzard developers tools with triggers and conditions when I installed Bolt and saw that it was not a visual programming language as they claimed I uninstalled it together with Unity and never looked back if they made an external editor it would be a different story but their editor is tied to the gameit was right in front of their faces as well the whole time and it's not like they had to reinvent the wheel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r1UBmFpFpQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSSV8RzjYd0I have no idea why these people love their triggers and condition so muchhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGBgzcmVtQw

Looking for high testosterone intelligent men of war to hop on mowas2 and play Robz and sometimes other mods. Maybe even a little Gates of Hell Ostfront. We have around 8 active players currently and would like new people that hop on regularly.Discord Invitehttps://discord.gg/FBXSgyfvVu
>>2169372We play usually at least a few times a week. Sometimes we go on a roll and play daily even. It's a whole friend group egen and we play other games too sometimes as well. Btw if anyone joins just be patient cuz someone will have to give you a role before you can use any channels. Just a precaution so we dont get raped by reports from trannies or something.
>>2165864MoW2 is ultra dead. The publisher pulled the plug as soon as offline mode was added. I too dislike GoH for its shit UI, terrible performance, broken unit ai and jank, unreliable controls but there's literally nothing else unless you want to backtrack to MoWAS2

Beta for the next update is up.
>>2162985The massive amount of dressed stone motivated me to just make a small enclosed space and give up on having a large castle yard. But it's worth it to just see the castle looming over the village. Anything bigger and with more inputs wouldn't be worth bothering. Wish there was a way to build stone walls around the whole village.
Do fish die for some random reasons, or is the reserve bugged once you reach a specific number between 120-220?
>>2170666I think they are supposed to have a replenishment season but it could as well be bugged
>>2170730What's happening is that everything works fine setting up the fisherman's hut to 120 reserve and 320 reserve, but for some reason 220 reserve in specific resulted in some major overfishing. If nothing is supposed to kill the fish, that seems like a very specific bug.
So what's the verdict so far on Master of Command? Been playing the demo and it's a good game so far, but the controls seem kinda janky.
>>2170343Wikihow artstyle.
>>2170363Doesn't look like it so dunno how you came to that conclusion.
>>2170343It is somewhat stiff, coloring is flat and characters suffer from the sameface syndrome. I can live with it but art is still very important part to set you in the mood, I think. The cartoonish presentation doesn't reflect the brutality that was the real conflict.

>>2170729Hooded Horse's faggot marketers post this at least a dozen times at anyone who criticizes their slop ad on /v/, I wonder why that is. It's not very convincing when your product is actual shit.
it really isn't that good
>>2170139>1. Most of the campaign actually being keeper vs keeper instead of the asymmetrical keeper vs. goody two shoes heroic party, ruins the vibe for me Yes, it's rather unfortunate most missions have you fighting other keepers, rather than, for instance, having a "hero dungeon" (they have their imp equivalent, the tunneler, so they could theoretically expand like a regular keeper, if computer-controlled). >the keeperfx version I was playing made that mission way harder by improving the ai and theyve since fixed it. KeeperFX fixed a ton of garbage left over in the official release, but it also kinda overtuned some aspects. I haven't installed the latest version, but I might get it one of these days, if only to play around with tick rate, now that they have uncoupled it from FPS. So you can theoretically run the game at 60 FPS and the very first tick rate, mentioned in the design docs, of 12 (regular game runs at 20 ticks, IIRC).
>>2169867Just play second game its way better, dont listen to faggots itt.
>>2170271It's a consequence of them spending a huge chunk of development on multiplayer matches against each other and the release of the game coming as something of a surprise for the team so they had to rush the campaign. They had a ton of keeper v keeper experience and maps that they used to fill out the campaign.
>>2170613I remember reading various stories from people who were on the team (mostly secondary positions), mentioning how the devs would play a ton of multiplayer (and the programmer team would cheat by adding a gem patch to their side of the map). Though it seems they didn't play asymmetrical multiplayer, where some guys would use evil creatures, and the others would use heroes (they never implemented room type/size requirements for heroes, AFAIK).

Where did Ixion go wrong?
ending ruined the game
It was French - artsy, pretentious, style over substance.But the OST justifies its existence by itself.
It was fun, had some great ideas and some very lame ones, I liked the style and the music. 7/10, I would recommend anyone to play it once.
>>2167668Vietnam, in my opinion.
Amazing presentation, dogshit "gameplay". It's another puzzle game masquerading as a strategy game.
Cyber Knights: Flashpoint just got out of the EA. It's an xcom-like cyberpunk turn-based tactics.Thoughs?
>>2166967i think the conversation has run its course barring any new updates
they added two levels and a second level to the truck job powerplay
>>2167872The one where you rescue a Mastumoto scientist and help drop a virus onto a truck?
Probably going to let the game rest for a couple months while they add more stuff or at least a new ending to work towards
>>2170688Same. My mercs can clear any missions with no damage at this point, so I'll wait until they add more difficult missions.
At this point maybe the entire game is outsourced in India. That explains how Warhasiht is pure trash today.Warhammer thing will be anihilated for good once they relase the new Medieval 3 or Rome 3. Historical TW fans will laugh again.Historychads keep winning.

Any good terraforming-themed city-builder/factory games out there? I'm only aware of - Surviving Mars (yawn) - Per Aspera (shittiest pathfinding known to man) - Infraspace (fine, bit ugly) - Plan B: Terraform (least bad option) - Terraforming Mars (port of a board game) Am I missing anything?

>>2166512bitch have you played the original, shit's completely fucked and they're selling the patches to fix the bugs as a NEW FUCKING GAME
>>2168330The game was fine until paracucks let some nobodies do the last DLCs. Those were broken and reintroduced old bugs and were not made by Haemimont. Clearly they got some deal to come back to fix it and that's how they framed it to get a clean slate instead of changing DLC with crap reviews that probably nobody will notice got reworked (and also if it's okay to substantially changing something people already paid for might also be a factor, even if it's for the better).The rerelease also includes some new stuff that probably would have been like $15 DLC by itself anyway and if you own the base game it's $20 (instead of $40) so while you could say it's a shit deal I wouldn't say it's completely unreasonable.
>>2168330That was literally not Haemimont though. They left after Green Planet because they considered the game done.Then Paradox wanted more money so they hired Abstraction who bungled their two DLCs so badly that they simply got fired because nobody had any faith that they could fix them.
>>2133238>terraforming-themed city-builder/factory gamesThis is a niche genre near and dear to me, but I'm so so irredeemably fucking stupid that the only game I've managed to play and complete on this list is Per Aspera.
