>>2166176there is a pretty big branch in one of sote forks which rewrote a decent part of the game to c++ and there is a fork of this branch where one of contributors tests some big changes to economy atm

Does anyone have an archive of the SoE wiki or something like that?I used the Wayback machine to get most of the pages but I couldn't get the Dwarves and Vermen.
>>2167073What made him start it to begin with?
>>2170672The excuse to make the game he wanted to. The troon tried to implement a 3D map on a sub-hex scale until the guy who came up with the idea of SotE said no, and then the troon promptly ragequit the project, moved to Japan (because all trannies think they're animu grills for some reason) and allegedly started working on the RPG xe wanted to make all along
It's been 10 trillion years and there still isn't a city builder/management/modern military game set in Africa. How am I meant to live my corrupt inter-tribal guerrilla smuggling international meddling rebellion creating 5+million dead in the 2nd Congo War fantasy? huh?

Which 4x has the best economy? I am in the mood for managing the economy of a somewhat randomized world.
>>2163920amplitude's econ systems are some of the worst in the entire fucking genre
>>2163924>>2163924don't bother with EL2, it barely has any economy management, doesn't even have the market screen
>>2163919
>>2163919absolute brainlet take, I know, but stellaris has grown on methe inter-player economy is lacking (although the global market works similarly to endless games with addition of slave trade), but I kinda like the simple-ish basic resources to intermediate to unity/research pipeline that advance your tech and traditions and overall powermanaging economy in that game almost scratches the same itch as factory games, but is FAR less demanding and goes easier on the brain if you need some mindless unwinding
I enjoyed Civ IV Colonization for the economy. It's not very in depth, but if you trade certain goods a lot, their prices will change alongside random fluctuations, and your king will try to tax the goods you most commonly trade.
Is after the end worth playing? If so which version? Also CK2 thread
>>2168523>Why must every mod team be infested with weird sex people?trans folx are the most dedicated coders
>>2118676I don't mind Orientalism because it follows the same formula a lot of the new religions in the former US do where someone took a look at something relatively random in the post-apocalypse (1001 Arabian Nights, Aladdin, and Shriner aesthetics) and decided that would be their new religion. Yeah, they're silly, but so are the Occultists and Norse Larpers.I think the twelver Shia was made for the aforementioned OC donutsteal and idk much about the generic Islam. Is that the one they use down in Suriname at game start?
>>2169786>I think the twelver Shia was made for the aforementioned OC donutstealIt is, but it has an interesting heresy that's basically Chinese influenced Islam, you know something that actually represents how religions changed. The deposted mod keeps this heresy around even >Is that the one they use down in Suriname at game start?Yes, there's also Muslim rulers around Chicago and in New York

cursed build editionMenance dead on arrival? Or just an elaborate subsidy fraud?
>>2169826Yeah but I've noticed I've been getting better/shittier recruits from the same backgrounds depending on the origin I played.The daytaler I have in LW averaged 60-50 in combat skills with pretty high starting defense. Meanwhile in PM daytalers average 40 with very little defensive stats.
>>2169845Honestly its kinda weird how inspired by GoT Battlebrothers is when I think about it.It's way more just GoT smashed into Warhammer Fantasy than it is reflective of the actual medieval period.I know its a fantasy game but still.Hedge knight is a nice term though, it communicates exactly what you think of when you think of a battlebrothers knight, which is a big violent brute that is probably equal parts retarded and vicious.>>2169325The real reason deserters have low resolve I don't think is entirely justifiable by lore, afterall, not every deserter is a coward, rather, its entirely gameplay balance. The game doesn't want you to have any lowborn professional soldiers unless they're defective(retired) or overpriced(sellsword).I don't actually know if either of those count as lowborn in terms of recruit-ability for peasant militia, but regardless of peasant militia status they definitely have backstories that point towards the idea of them being lowborn considering they're distinct from actual nobles you can get and knights.

I had beaten the original CC on the Amiga (yeah, I'm 52) and this didn't seem to offer much of an upgrade, but granted I only took a cursory look into it. CC had the exact amount of complexity in it, not too much not too little. I'd recommend playing it with an emulator before jumping to CC2.
>>2158215you're not forced to play multiplayer
>>2158116Yes but only if you can play it with a good friend
>>2158558This. I tried to play alone and could tell it would be fun with friends but:>it's too much work manning all the stations alone>none of my friends like this sort of gameIf you do end up getting it, lemme know and maybe we could do something.
How does this shit board not have a thread for the only good multiplayer strategy in existenceFog of war and all napoleonic unit types now added. Looking pretty complete now. Its free and its good, go play so I can farm elo

does /vst/ have a coalition?
Talk about new mods, mods you're hyped for, etc.CTS: campaigntrailshowcase.com/campaign-trail/index.htmlNCT: newcampaigntrail.com/campaign-trail/index.html
>>2169591No but that guy is one of your opponents in the mod.
>>2170140ah well if we can't trust Kamala Harris on how elections are won and lost, who can we trust?
>>2167944This won't happen, and it would be nonsensical to think it would. What is more likely to happen is the conservatives swinging further right than they already have been and the right wing vote being split and Labour becoming the new "centrist" party for however long. The wildest thing you could imagine - and I mean the wildest - is a coalition government forming like David Cameron and Nick Clegg did with the Cons-LibDems.Cons-Reform or Labour-LibDem. Anything else is a pipedream.A more realistic "out there" outcome is one of the establishment parties not winning enough seats to be the opposition government, as nearly happened with the conservatives.
>>2169855>GalenCrazy how this dude permanently kneecapped any potential alternative to the main community with his lolcow antics. I think his finest moment was when he attempted to delete opentct after months of wrecking it with his constant sperging out, then ran back to the main community under a different account, THEN got found out nearly instantly by the trannies that were working with him on a new mod, and then finally ran back to the /vst/ thread where he tried to get sympathy for his latest project falling apart as if he didn't already burn all of his bridges with everyone outside the main community. Truly a fitting end to Galen's modding career and the surreal opentct saga as a whole.
>>2170506It wasn’t even a different account. It was the exact same account, and he just thought nobody would notice.
started playing deadfire this weekend and it's very goodtrying to figure out how "ammo" for attacks workseems like you can only use spells and special attacks 2-3 times and then it's just basic attacks for the rest of the encounterand is it normal for the crafting icon to be permanently above my character portrait?
>>2170298UHMMM this is NOT a strategy game you want to post on the RPG board
Got any tips for a newbie? I'm playing Back to War, btw.
>>2163685Wrong.>>2163106>market cheeseYou mostly trade stone and wood because you can get efficiency upgrades for both in the academy, they're more readily available than mined resources and they're mostly needed for buildings which you will sooner or later cap out on because of the prices increases. The way cheese works is first you artificially inflate the price of good you want to end up selling by buying it on the market first to increase the price and then selling your stock afterwards. So for example, you want to sell a bunch of stone, but the course is kinda shit. So first you buy some stone with gold, and then sell your entire stone stock for a better price. This doesn't work in C2 btw because the exchange rates are fixed.>storageYou need a storage to build a market, so you plop the first one down wherever to make the market available and then burn it and replace it with optimised ones (since the peasants bring resources to a certain part of a storage).
I am still looking forward for Cossacks 2 remaster.
>>2158037Does Mod1 change the balance of certain factions in a big way with the new units? Most curious about Russia and Sweden since they get a ton of late game troops in the mod
>>2166443It does rebalance them, so not everyone's the same now, however the baseline is still somewhere in the ballpark of original game.

Anyone else into this game? I like the controller support they added for PC.
>>2157522Sometime they get lucky, but more often than not you didn't take a lesser play that would prevent them from cascading four's in a row. I prioritize my skill abilities more than matching gems, it's very helpful to thwart heroic effort moves than an enemy will make.
>>2157219But is it a twink?
>>2156318
>>2156257What is this?
>>2166989It's gem matching with roleplaying stuff, a long story with branching narratives depending on your choices. Surprised you never heard of it, it's on like every single console.

Leaders and civilizations that in your opinion should be in Civilization game but aren't. Or just ones you'd like to see included. And while we're at it you might also talk about units, buildings, wonders, great people and resources that you think should be in Civilization.>inb4 HitlerWouldn't even be a bad addition, it's just too obvious pick.Personal I would like to see Alfonso the Battler for Spain (even if that technical might be a stretch) and Edward Longshanks for England. Simply because I like them. In terms of civs I think with how influential and cool Goths were it's a shame they never made into roster. With Theodoric as their leader of course.

If they ever do Denmark again, Margrete the first is a good choice, especially since she counts towards their girlboss quota while actually being a well liked leader by her country with some accomplishments to her name.

>>2168209why?
I cant wait to see how fucking broken the siege update is going to be
>>2170353Considering it allegedly brings in digging invaders.Probably very broken lol
>>2170395Im also wondering about the balance of the new siege enginesThe teaser shows briefily what seems to be an emplaced crossbow, who are shooting machinigun style at some trolls. Crossbows already can be quite deadly, I wonder what will be the catch with those considering their fire rate.
That machine gun crap will make the game even more casual. I guess that's the official development course.
