Because the shoulder pads (good because disproportionated shoulder pads look retarded af).I hate GW but VW devs were not very intelligent doing a 40k-like (check the description of the game, it's literally 40k) knowing that GW is purging anything 40k-like (except Starcraft) for the last 6 years.
>>2353158Weird. For what it's worth I never had that issue but I don't think I used the infiltrate option even once so that might be it.
>>2353158Post a bug report in one of the places where devs can take a look (Steam forums, itch game board etc.) They tend to be pretty quick with patches, they've often released hotfixes for particularly annoying bugs.
'you get less rewards/scrap' difficulty modifiers annoy me greatly, to the point that when I got to the 2nd compounding modifier of this kind i just said fuck it and only did torment 1 runs from then on (and stopped playing not long after)
sucks to suck huh
>>2337362I recognize those MSPaint ships and the text font. Is the game made by the same dude that created Chapter Master? I liked that game but remember that its development stopped as well due to GW. Here's a link, btw https://1d6chan.miraheze.org/wiki/Chapter_Master_(game)
Why has no one tried to recapture the magic of Metal Fatigue? Yes, I know there are other games where you can partially design your own units (Warzone, KKND, or for turn-based games SMAC).But Metal Fatigue just hits different. Sure, it was mostly because of the animations and sound, but imagine the potential in having Combot on Combot action with proper physics for the limb cutting. Besides that, of course the vehicle combat (=all combat underground) sucked of course.
>>2349896If you had read the manual you would know Mil-Agro started as an agricultural corporation.
>>2336428Picrel is really good, but i think it needs more challenge and fairness. Either you're the top dog in the field or you're the country that gets steamrolled. Still very fun, early game is building dozens of cheap boarding units to hijack bigger and better ships and latw game is vaporizing whole cities with one mega doomship
Imagine >using generative AI to stat your created units and generate new models on the flywhy can't "AI" do this?
>>2353326It easily can because using unit stats as input isn't hard and people already have 3d model and animation pipelines, the trouble is wrangling it into the trends and stability required to be any fun.
>>2336428Robo Rumble had that where you can add rocket launchers to jumping legs for example, though I have more hate than love for that gamedespite the weakass everything I love Metal Fatigue though>tell workers to patrol>they retrieve parts and repair everything on the way>click staff roll credits>it's a playable map>pizza cutters
Got this game recently at a discount, it seems pretty good. An old RTS that is very simple to play with very quick matches lasting 5-10 minutes each. The game is mostly dead, only finding matches at night, but the people who play seem to be curious buyers like myself trying out the game too leading to fun and fairly equal matches.Anybody else here has played it? It really seems like a good rts, perfect to get people into the genre, don't understand why it didn't take off.
>>2340359It's simply shit
>>2349566trying too hard
>>2349531>>2349607why is it shit?
>>2353838NTA but I love the game. Finished the campaign and loved every minute of it. Sadly the community was long dead when I played it
>>2340359I remember this one, PvP was fun as fuck with very fast-paced matches
Happy new years edition!Lets have us all a friendly ship design competition, post your boats! Use the 1935 start, ship must be legal. Best looking or impressive wins (You)'s!Thread theme: https://youtu.be/t8s_Z13jEeo?si=EtXoWTdrMUWKNp4s
>>2342530>Vanguard>1944>30 knots, only eight 15 inch gunsIowa was launched in 1942 btw.
according to >>2343214's metrics, >>2340400is the greatest ship ever devised.
Gentlemen, it has been brought to my attention that "armor" is not simply a misspelling of "amore" and as such I have ordered our newest cruiser to maximize such "armor"
>>2345858I wasn't questioning the utility of 96 big guns moving at 32 knots.
I swear, one day I'll stop making more ships and actually start getting the code down to use them in Sea Power.
How long until Paradox abandon EU5? This was supposed to be their magnum opus.. no one wants to play..
>>2320279Current active player base>EU5: 8,188.7 (+0.09%)>EU4: 7,724.4 (+0.24%)Holy shit, singularity is getting closer.
>>2353815Turns out what people want IS blobbing and creating Grobgermanivm, and not micromanaging shit that you can put on auto and praying that you hit some kind of hidden requirement for the decision to convert a culture group. The game being borderline unplayable in the late game due to no Paradox employee ever having played for more than 100 years doesn't help.
>>2320279I have tried all of the recommended nations so far (and the Mamluks), once you get a grasp of the game it is even easier than EU4
The only improvement over eu4 is trade, the rest is just fake systems to pretend it's complicated At least it has better potential for modding
>>2348777Eu4 is more boardgame autism where eu5 is more spreadsheet autism.
LOL

>12+ cultures in MadagascarI will play this game when the crimeamod guy merges all of these cultures
2355673Imperator Invictus added content for Ionian greeks in central asia, and after the initial tree you get contacted by chinese traders, and gives you the option of choosing between staying Ionian, becoming native ferghanans/bactrians, chinese or a hybrid between two of them, so I chose the hybrid Ionian/Chink path and am now larping as chinkaboos/dynastic pretenderThe horse thing is a reference to the war of the heavenly horses, when the Han dynasty invaded Alexandria Eschate because the horses there were cool and strong
I'm starting to miss when Europe was neatly divided between Roman, Carthaginian, Gallic, Macedonian and Scythian blobs and Germanic barbarians didn't fuck everything up
the last bastion of evropean christianity, can they rise to the challenge and kick the germanics and estonians out of iberia? (no)
31 looks like the vikings won
Why are tier 1 skeleniggas so expensive to raise in this shit game
>>2352746I mean, obviously. But I'm assuming they won't be played exclusively with mapgen settings that are specifically designed to favor them. If nothing else, the AI certainly won't have that luxury.
>>2352741So nomads are fantasy quiarians where everyone will shoot on sight if they get near their planets>deplete resources>move to someone who still has them>steal/deplete their resources too>"why does everyone hate us?"Yeah they would be one of the new culture that would be more benefital to kill on sight before they damage your own economy
>>2352741>but I do wonder how well having to pack up and move every so often will work for them, since between free cities and other empires it already feels like you don't have a lot of elbow room sometimes. Also I feel like actually depleting resources in a game where resources don't normally deplete is likely to make them public enemy number one in every game.is there a game where this isn't a dumb gimmick. You are wasting turns on moving around instead of expanding your cities. Endless Legend tried this same nomad faction gimmick and it sucked and so did Ogres in TWW3
Anyone else having a problem with multiplayer being a buggy mess that desyncs every 5 minutes?
>>2353931Putting aside the question of how well it'll work in practice, I think it's a neat idea at least. Supposedly they're designed to work with less and smaller cities so there'll be less pressure to expand in the traditional way.
>be me, Roman with Celtic ancestry >choose the Iceni >found in Steam Workshop the 'Iceni Legionaries mod' >gives to the faction uniformity, Roman armors and straight banners >mod is deleted, it's joever >all the culture % you in the cities means nothing >I can't civilized the Iceni nor any other barbarian >no marble cities (despite I conquered a city with 'marble pit') >all must be mud-holes, all map cities are the same, battles are shit >climate means nothing, your soldiers still wear pants in the Sahara >EVERY SINGLE CAMPAIGN, same tech tree, Groundhog Day all over again >you can't create your own culture, uniforms, buildings, laws, tech... it's all the same alwaysI can't believe I fell for it just because I love that era.The worst thing is every single new Total War is just like Rome 2 and people STILL fall for this.
>>2352716>current year + 10>playing rome total war 2ishygddt
>>2353382You've heard wrong.Empire's unit collision is unfixable. Various persisting bugs are also unfixable.What mods do is making various awful elements less annoying, but it doesn't fix the issues the game has - just sugarcoats them.
>>2352716I have all sorts of complaints and things I would want added into Total War games, but I still play them, about the best you gonna get if you want battle spectacle. And Rome 2 (maybe with mods) is about the best you gonna get for visual candy.>mod is deletedThat's why you back up mods (and game install files) on an external HDD.
Total War is awful>neighbor starts war with you>defeat them, another one pops up, the moment you have some momentum 2 other nations want to fight with you>constantly locked on battle with 2-4 nations>out of far ass end of the universe another declares war on you for no reason>diplomacy boils down to, pay 10 years worth of GDP of Europe or I declare war on you!
>>2352716Well, you could roleplay that your Chosen Sword Band are now the backbone of your armies as imitation Legiones. But yeah, the game pins you as a defined culture with little changes as you play (the only one iirc is government type)
Is it any good?
>>2344082it's a city builder with a win condition (what an innovation)
The most impressive thing about the game is for how long you unlock new shit that affects gameplay. My suggestions is to play this game at least until gold seal before even considering buying the dlc.>>2325528>learning curveit's honestly fine. It took me until Viceroy to realize that loosing a few pop during storm isn't the end of the world. The difficulty really only kicks in at Prestige 2 and 5 when storms last twice as long and vils leave twice as fast.Never even played the dlc's, I heard the new factions make the game even easier.the building part really is mainly functional. You can get away without building roads.>>2334929throughout the game, yeah, but you learn to appreciate the other races more the longer you play.>>2334964>event timethat gets eaten up by the fact they have to take breaks more often. I (almost) fucked up events because they took a break after carrying all material to the event spot.
Basically, yes. My autism demon really liked it.
>>2342484Do you plan your route to get the maximum of events? Some give you additional ressources for all your future settlements in this cycle, which makes fast victories easier, other give you either seal fragments or additional starting points (or allow you to reach the seal faster, if needed).Also, if winning on P20 is too slow, you should aim lower difficulties. I beat the final seal by starting the run at P2 (for the longer year), in order to have a lot of settlements that were done quickly (4-5 years each, on average), snaking through the map to collect as much caravan points as possible, to be able to go on the last seal mission with every possible starting bonus I could fit in.
Fun game. Difficulty is highly customizable on a run by run basis, and the RNG element never leaves you completely fucked, there's always a way to recover even from the worst situations on the highest difficulties. Going high difficulty from day 1 can result in impossible scenarios though since you haven't yet unlocked the high efficiency stuff for shit like the happiness of your guys. It's not really a city builder but you can chill with it and built comfy settlements anyway, though a lot of the decorative stuff is locked behind meta progression and achievements/challenges. The vibe of the game is really unique, I personally love the cartoony but slightly grim artstyle. The DLC races are cool and bring unique stuff into the mix. If you can get the game and the DLCs in a sale bundle it's definitely all worth it. I bought the DLCs full price on launch

>>2325575>>2326023I think this is similar to what I want to do, however I want bots to be able to consider such resource collection for the purpose of both trade/profit and war efforts.Did you have guides or resources to help you learn how to implement it?
>>2351986Honestly, my model is pretty shamelessly inspired by Banished. And that game has no real obstacles.>>2352245I haven't actually gotten so far as to give AI real instruction how to handle it.
Guys turn-based or realtime?
>>2353222Checked, depends on the game. Do you have more detail?
>>2353538Gameplay should be like castle defense-lite where player rely on ai controlled units for fight.Non battle-related things include lot of text ( better to put between levels i think) and heavy research system.
Built a new PC last month and now I want to jump into some games I'd been unable to play on my old toaster. I'm not looking for the best /vst/ vidya, I'm looking for the BEST LOOKING /vst/ vidya that's NOT utter shit and NOT in early access.Last thing I was able to play and enjoy but had to quit due to performance issues on the last mission was this. So that's first on my list. Have there been any other demanding /vst/ games worth playing?

no not really

Fuck dwarfs
>>2318765Are Liberation and Domination any good? Everything screams that no but I want a confirmation from anons.
>>2353282No
>>2353282I've only played Liberation and the game has nothing to do with Disciples. It was very obviously an unrelated tactical rpg that was forced to wear Disciples skin as a way for the publisher to test the waters with reviving the franchise. It is not the worst game I've played but it is incredibly mediocre and I really cannot recommend spending time on it.
>>2353147>I like the ones that are simple and clean mostI mean, wouldn't you love the Squire's attack (or any other lvl1 small melee unit) the most if that's the case? If we're only talking about Leaders, Mages have the most satisfying attacks IMO.
>>2353282If you like Disciples. Steer clear from both. >Liberation It's not "bad" game, but everything about it is rage inducing. I'm not even kidding. The gameplay is fine. But as anon said. It's just Disciples IP slapped on very mediocre game. And I beat NG+>Domination Just Liberation but really mediocre. How is that even possible? Less infuriating, but also really boring. Somehow it looks, sounds and runs worse than predecessor. Which is an achievement.
