ngl you had me, I was about to say Tricia Helfer wasn't past-her-prime yet but lmao James Earl Jones really phoned it in as Solomon
still the cutscenes were not unappealing at all
>>
>>2459299
A couple years back a fan tried to prod Michael Biehn and it turned out the latter has absolutely no recollection of ever starring in TS.
But Tricia Helfer was worse anyway, probably the worst live-action Nod character there ever was. She made for a worse Kerrigan, too.

A huge part of the appeal of these games is the charm/vibe/atmosphere whatever you want to call it as mechanically they aren't that complex. War for the Overworld is a better game that DK1 or 2 but I personally think it doesn't have the same charm

The BE factions were bland nation-states, the importance of which was tied to some minor faction bonuses that quickly became irrelevant given the three main paths (humanmaxxxing, planetmaxxxing, cyborgmaxxxing)

I'm just waiting for the big campaign that will have the fourth faction that can somehow BTFO the psychic advents, drive the vasari mad and make everything impossible to know about for the tec.
>>
>>2460548
I'm actually kinda nervous about the new faction. It was one of those things that should have been in the background, now it needs to be nerfed in some way because otherwise the original lore of it oneshotting the Vasari doesn't make sense.

Do you remember in command and conquer the scrin showed up and the end of the campaign revealed the army that almost destroyed earth was just a mining fleet that didn't expect any resistance? It's easy to do it. Hopefully it will be unique and their gameplay will be playing a vanguard that slowly summons in more ships at an increasing rate.

>>2457605
What's would you even build there.
>>
>>2459000
Nta but I could imagine it as a sort of crew management game. Training firefighters, rangers etc. hiring scientists and workers for renaturation. Monetisation by renown, grants and direct public attractions. There could be a lot of construction involved now that I think about it. Roads and infrastructure that directly compete with the "attraction level" and simple paths and wooden constructions for visitors, securing climbing sites and potentially dangerous rock slides and maybe you need to manage potentially dangerous or invasive wildlife.

What the OP says. I absolutely love the Aegean Region, but I feel like in most games/mods, Greece is either already OP (Byzantium) or too weak to really do much (Victoria 2).
What are some good games or mods that let me unify the Greeks without it being trivial or impossible?

I fail at marketing and my software never sells whether I use a publisher or not. I made a highly reviewed antivirus software and did a photographic press release right after the fourth design iteration, developed to completion and a month or two of bugfixing. Only got 3 followers and didn't sell a single copy (yes I printed). I get that a business game has to have some obfuscation of the market in order to be enjoyable but I just don't understand the obtuse mechanics. Might give it another try but early game is stressful and after two fails I just don't have the energy to do that again for a while.

To me, it wasn't bag fumbling as much as it put into perspective what people are actually like. She made all the money in the world without showing a single nipple, but ended up coming back giving her audience *everything* even though she never had to do softcore porn again after how much she earned. It showed how attention and not money is the actual thing that determines net worth.

Finest Hour is a pretty fine update, but I really have no idea how you are supposed to take out the Churchill MK VII.

Especially as germany. The only units with enough armor penetration are the 10.5 artillery and the Jagdpanther - which is kind of a problem if there are three of these assholes.
How are you supposed to take them down?

wtf does this even mean? it isn't mechachameleon

it's a good but not great game
it lacks depth and multiplayer resulting in somewhat repetitive battles and there is also pretty crazy power creep resulting in a wonky difficulty curve
the devs are active though and making genuine improvements
if you crazy napoleonic total war battles then it's worth playing

TL:DR, split some of the missions into two missions, and fix the fucking ironman mode so it works properly and doesn't softlock you constantly. Make it work like in Syrian Warfare, you save when you beat a mission, that's it, nothing else.

(FINALLY managed to force myself to lose, and guess what? It's saved after I intentionally killed all my veterans and half my reinforcements to try to restart the mission.
