You have a point. It'd be interesting to see what'd happen if there's ever a rupture between the Mangoite and Lamounier cliques. I doubt it'll happen though. Both seem perfectly happy with the current setup.

Basically the Russian plan was to size the airport with a heliborne assault, deploy and supply an armoured column via airbridge and use it to drive into and occupy Kyiv, bypassing the defenses along the northern front. Basically a repeat of the Nazi invasion of Crete.

Whether there was ever any hope of success is an open question. The troops available in the region possessed anti tank weapons and still active air defenses would have made the airbridge risky even with somewhere to land. Rather than a turning point it was just symbolic of the hubris of Russia's planners. They went it expecting basically no resistance and their plans didn't survive contact with a capable and resisting enemy.

ukrainians used hostomel airport as a trap, they only had light infantry there without much experience, pretty much local militia
russians dropped their most elite paratrooper unit without any support and proceeded to get shredded by artillery the moment they took positions
helicopters alone couldn't secure the landing zone
russians never expected ukrainians to sacrifice the airport and put a bunch of craters in it. It was worth it

Partisans. What if we took Ravener Alpha from DoW2 and undid the 11 successive nerfs we had to give it to make it not broken as fuck, then buffed it some more. The fact that US doesn't have a 90% winrate right now just shows that CoH's comp scene went soft and no longer has the braincells necessary to abuse tunnels to the maximum. This BG is like playing with cheats on.

BG choice hasn't really mattered for brits since they took out all the techskipping. Your core roster is 90% of your gameplay so half the time brit players just leave their BG unselected until lategame where they snap-pick Naval for the offmaps or Armoured/Canadian for the Churchill variant of choice. Every british BG has doctrinal infantry callins and not a single one is actually worth using over Tommies.

I heard the AI was even worse than two

The only thing I've wanted for this series was better AI for offline skirmish

I say this as a person who has still not played CoH3 only the first two games.

I'm waiting for someone to make a WW2 RTS with actually good AI

I don't care about online, its focused on meta autism shit which isn't fun. I just want to play a game every now and then against a somewhat competent AI. This is too hard apparently for game devs especially Relic.

I wish stockade was a thing in American Conquest, so I could funnel units even more efficiently toward the killing zone of my fortifications or that Cossacks 3 was build upon mechanics from AC and C2, rather than just C1 in new graphics.
Still, one of the most fun turtle games and storming the base is actually fucking fun, too

Rushing, particularly all in-rushing is a soulless strategy because you're making a conscious decision to ignore most of the mechanics, units and buildings to pray that your opponent isn't able to handle your gimmick. Most rushers aren't able to transition into a proper strategy and just GG after their initial force is deleted. The game is less enjoyable for both parties because you end up spending more time in the less interesting parts of the more (initial buildup and queue times).
Ideallyif you're a soulful player you adapt your strategy to the situation, but that's not achievable for all players. That's why people just learn a build order and follow that for 50 matches until they burn out of RTS games.

In terms OP might understand, imagine the dissapointment you would feel if your bf just came inside of you within seconds of entering you because orgasming (winning) is the best part of sex?

I like to think it wasn't just the anarchists that destroyed the empire. There used to be a mention of an unknown thread and it being aliens but it would be really lame if it actually was. Part of the appeal of rimworld is that earth was the singular origin point of life in the universe and so it'd make more sense they fought a war against an archotech, possibly Horax, and lost

From what I can tell from the trailer, It has the tile system of Civ 4 while having a hero system similar to WC3, I have no idea why they call it Civ 6 maybe to ride off its popularity, it also reminds me of that flash zombie game about reclaiming the town

Seems like there is a demo on steam too

While I am aware that both games are different and people who like one, might dislike the other, to me they are inseparable. Think of na era in gaming history, when people tried to take make cool and unique stuff and wonderful games were created.

Anyway, for those unfamiliar or returning:
>where to get games?
GOG or Steam, with GOG being preferable or just sharpen you cutlass.
>which are worth getting?
The original BK (comes with expansions) and SS Gold (included Forever) is where it's at. SS2 is revered, but has the mission pack syndrome of being aimed at veterans (hard) and Resource War doubles down on that while adding some RTS mechanics and fuel tedium, included in GOG's SS2Gold.
Blitzkrieg 2 is full 3D, but not as good as the original. Destruction is great, but infantry models and animations are ass. Gameplay can be salvaged by mods.
Sudden Strike 3 is also 3D and was shit on release due to unit pathfinding, which was fixed in the expansion that also patched the base game. Still content is slim, mostly long and tedious mission with shit like infinitely re-spawning tunnel-japs.
>what about Blitzkrieg 3 and Sudden Strike 4?
BK3 is complete trash that doesn't work on many systems anymore, avoid. SS4 is a more arcadey take on Sudden Strike, think Codename Panzers? The base game sucks, but the expansions are kind of ok, just don't pay full price of the it.

Both are good. I for one began was introduced to the series in the 00s through the 2nd Blitzkrieg and loved it, then I discovered the first one with the GZM mod and was blown away, the scope of the game got ridiculous. It's really unfortunate how short the 2nd one is and that there's no mods fixing this. Low popularity of the 2nd one led to weak modding scene as well.
There's a major flaw in both of the games though, infantry is anything BUT expendable, so you have to crater the whole area with artillery before you can advance. This problem is less prevalent in the 2nd one but it's still there

Apparently not. The wiki mentions when a culture can raid and it doesn't say that for norman, only that they have the seafaring trait and have a discount on raised ships, a trait inherited from it's parent culture (norse).
With berber for example, it says explicitly states that it can raid and has the seafaring trait.
>>
>>2352677
>>2354801
I will take the opportunity to put emphasis on the fact that the wiki is wholly correct here; if you check the culture definition file you will find Norman has only seafarer = yes while the actual raiding cultures have allow_looting = yes
