Game of Thrones deserves their own Total War. And yes, I know about the mods.
Waterworld, Stalker. Lesser scale but games like this are also cool.
Youjo Senki, Girls und Panzer and a few more anime would probably do fine in the field of RTT games.
Girls Frontline/Blue Archive deserve a PROPER x-com knockoff.

Back when I first played C&C (tib dawn as it's now called), I had a pet theory that Tiberium was only green because it was leeching and concentrating uranium (among other things) in the ground into itself. Of course blue tib from sun scratched that out early...

tiberium wars fucked up by lack of mutant wildlife and plants.
>>
>>2440888
Even changing the shape of the tiberium, introducing all that crystals, has been a lame take. To not mention that, during the development of TW, rumors spread about the fact that EA involved some sort of scientifical department to "study" the Tiberium composition. A stupid way to raise the hype, while then the game has a mid story and cutscene at best.

>game is a bugged mess on release, many issues are never patched

I remember having bought the Kane edition (that is not present in the Ultimate compilation in Steam, BTW), and if you installed the game from the cd disc, without any patch, the game simply crashed. So if you hadn't a broadband connection (and it wasn't so common in my area, at the time), you simply cannot play the game you just legally bought.

Outright degeneracy is always preferable over the self-righteous "avant-garde" shit that those people tend to engage in. For example, harpies who kidnap and rape men to reproduce is extremely degenerate, but also very cool...

is the ai for reinforcement still braindead? like will they search a random ass section of the map while im literally live in 4k murdering their bros?
>>
>>2430286
Yup, it's still entirely random. Sometimes they spawn in a spot that actually makes things more difficult, but most of the time they spawn in some irrelevant corner of the map and take their sweet time getting to your location (unless sec-AI gives them another command and they start running). I doubt that's going to change any time soon.

What do they call paradox games?
Next starcraft ,while gameplay is mostly around rts. Has alot of similarities with games like stellaris and hoi.

two new races
Genetically engineered cat girls made by some ancient race that opposed the old ones. Gameplay based heavily on unit synergies as it would be centered around "hunting packs"

the second race is literally the old ones
Gameplay is based around "possesion"

It would make much more sense to have the Koprulu humans and the UED be entirely different factions, considering how vastly technologically divergent they are. The UED shouldn't have Ghosts at all according to the game manual of SC1

I see no reason why we couldn't also have separate factions within protoss with different units. A 4th race of new aliens might be interesting but it all depends on execution and sounds rather unneccessary

Most well designed, and even many poorly designed gods are capable or killing infinite amounts of chafe units. Statue gods in particular are notorious for being impossible to kill early game, as they can usually outlast enemies until they break from morale via constantly having a god shit spells down their throats. Both beast and titan gods can be very dangerous and difficult to put down as well.

That sir, is what Thugs are for. Specifically, thugs armed with Two-Handed Swords of Sharpness, and Mace of Shattering. A 2H Sword of Sharpness on a nice thug is literally the answer to anything tough to kill early on.

Dominions has a much bigger scale and is more hardcore when it comes down to builds tactics and general bullshit you can do, as it is about gods fighting each to see who is the capital G, risking detroying reality itself due to magic abuse

CoE is much more chill game where you take your guys and go grand world tour of murderhoboring

NTA but they revamped how generals work and its a really fun change. The army units themselves no longer promote but the generals do and provide buffs to the units around them, they also let you pack up units into the general to move them around so it makes mobilizing armies a lot more user friendly. They add a lot to unit positioning and make wars a little more fun to manage. Even some people who hate the game overall admit the generals and finally adding navigable rivers were the two good things to come out of it.
