I haven't followed paralsop games at all, will it at least match EU4 as map painter or is it going to be a vaporware flop like that Finfag city builder and civ7?Give me the rundown, fags.
>>2128106Stellaris is literally a 4x game.
>>2128180Yes but at first blobbing was kinda limited and then they've changed the game so you can get late game techs within the first 50 years or so. After they've dropped the purple mana as main resource of expansion, expension became much cheaper and trivial. The game emphasizes that your civilization has just discovered ftl technology. This shouldn't mean that you immediately should be able to colonize and conquer distant worlds from the get go in my opinion.

Where the FUCK are the modern Napoleon games?Napoleon total war was FIFTEEN YEARS AGOThere should be tons of these games, it has all the cinematic, dramatic, and strategic elements to make amazing strategy games SO WHERE ARE THEY?
Wargames Designs Studios put out some kino titles.https://wargameds.com/collections/napoleonic-battles/products/campaign-bautzen
I am just here to discuss Napoleonics. If you see someone trolling/spamming/off topic just keep reporting them. Don't reply, dont even reply indirectly. Eventually a jannie will ban them. Now, how about "March of the Eagles"? Anyone played that? I gave it a go, its not too bad for a beginner but would not recommend it for someone who is experienced.
>>2130648Sorry buds. Looks like the thread is dying. I can't claim credit for it though even though I wish I could. Don't worry though, I already made sure to report you for off topic posting and instigating a flame war. Gotta keep everyone honest these days.I await my ban for announcing a report but alas, it's a small price to pay to ensure the integrity of the board.
>>2132373>Looks like the thread is dying.much like the napoleonic games genre
>>2130648It sucked. No tactical depth, no strategic depth, and everything in the middle was severely limited.
>all of the right ideas>every single one executed poorly
>>2115552Play Graviteam or Combat Mission instead
>>2133345are the radio US 107s inferior to radio 81s?
>>2134235Not necessarily. I still stick with 81s because I prefer the higher rof and cheaper cost but the 107s get an extra man, more firepower, and still fill the same role. I think they get same amount per card/phase too.
>>2133345SD2 UI is so weird. I thought it was a placeholder when the game was first revealed and it was in early access or something, but no, they just kept the flat grey boxes when first game had much better ui
>>2134807i works, i like it, the game has bigger problems than ui to be honest like spammy gameplay at standart settings

Thoughts on Flemish Militia rushing? My 1400 mate says it's stupid good, much cheaper and faster to pump out compared to MAA and beats both MAA and Scouts and hits archer players before they can make any substantial army, and supposedly scales into Castle Age too.
>>2135286Spain, Poland, Bohemia (might be a HRE variant), Mesoamericans (choose one)
>>2135700I think its good, Auto upgrades on age up are nice too. not a long term unit, but when food is hard to come by and gold is plentiful its got a good window.

>Ice-E fans are giant tempshift plates.I never really used them before now and had no idea they did this.The effect is a 2x5 centered around the POI, so the rotate-everything mod can also flip its AoE.They seem to still temp-shift when disabled or floating, so it can't be used as a toggleable tempshift plate.
>>2126820Here to forward the holy cause of virulent racism is an update on the "African Sleeping Sickness" build, which is an improvement on the usual dream-matrix thing. In addition to the maximum aptitude buff, it should produce 308 kg of amber per cycle, which could be boiled into 184 kg of water / cycle. If I am mathing properly you need 52 plants to supply a full O2 pipe. But it would only require 3 blood-bags.Each duplicant can be stung twice per cycle, which causes sneeziness. Dupes only sneeze when awake, which is good for them because it causes the "dead tired: snoring friend" debuff... which they still get because their awake time is only 1 block long, so someone's going to be awake peeing & sneezing. Their misery is irrelevant.I wanted to use Flydos but they don't seem to like pathing through open doors, which is strange. Also open pools of water tend to break them. Either they path through & get stuck, or they run out of charge over water and, idk explode or something. The gnits might also have door troubles. It might be better to have the eggs sit in a separate pool to make the adults fly through a gauntlet of luras to get food, or perhaps have separate "bait" critters that sit on opposite ends with doors that open and close.The Lumb is wild; but I don't know if he's willing to reproduce given the circumstances.I tried a grub-grub, but it did not rub. Somewhat surprising since mimikas work on them. Ambivalent about adding them because then you must wonder why bother with the gnits.It would be good to get licey luras, then I wouldn't have to feed the the gnit bait.>An adult gnits weighs 5 kilograms

ITT: Strategy games that no one besides (you) have played. Recommend rarities and discuss games that you vaguely remember playing as a kid or seeing in a magazine that one time.Continued from: >>1919459I'll start: Conflict Zone.Early 00's strategy game that I haven't seen anyone mention in my entire adult life. I remember it being unique because you public opinion was a key currency. As totally-not-NATO that involved airlifting civilians out of conflict zones, and as the bad guys it involved sending TV crews to film you blowing up enemy troops and enemy atrocities. The better your rep, the more advanced units you could bring in. Actually pretty surprised few games tried to make public opinion part of gameplay. Not a great game, but certainly a mechanically unique one.Your turn, anon!
>>2134680>Definitely gonna check out that game.If you can find it. Apparently I was right on money about it being stupidly obscure, that video seems to be the only instance of gameplay footage to be found on all of Youtube,. Genuine trash like This Means War! had entire LPs to its name but here all you get is 30 minutes.>I tried to play it as an adult but the UI is just too garbage.I very dimly remember it as basically "Get Fucked: the Game". Send the ship to a wrong system and get fucked, every turn someone dies so get fucked, the rebels are inexplicably better at running their colony than you so get fucked, etc. The sequel was more popular, or so I heard.
>>2134539Some of them also had broken archives and after plenty of time to compare I can say with absolute certainty that RIPs are always inferior.
>>2134732>If you can find it.You can easily find it on an abandonware site. The biggest challenge is making it run on modern system.
>>2134732>If you can find it.Not him, it took me exactly 1 search query in a not completely useless search engine, with the very first result having the download. I've checked, the ISO started downloading and I've cancelled.
>>2134732https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiQYjPdq_qIThis video has a really good summary of both Outpost games. 2 is a standard rts of the time with the occasional neat idea, so basically nothing at all like the original.Original game on the other hand is a hard science type sci-fi where everything can cause the end of humanity including bad luck when setting up where you go. Game's just brutal. It's actually not good but it's very interesting and memorable. Went through some real dev hell too and never finished. Tons of buildings aren't even included.Also if you or anyone else tries it out I remember that something called Delta Pavulonis IV or something like that had a planet with lots of easy terrain to work with. It's what I picked as a kid.

>>2127929The founder of the maratha empire was a shudra(zamindar) who was crowned by popular support even when the priests refused to do it. The Rajput clans are also speculated to be descended from powerful landowners than kshatriya clans from ancient India.

>>2127365The Mausoleum is literally named after a Greek dude named Mausolus. Halicarnassus, the site of the first Mausoleum, was in Anatolia, so the practice of creating Mausoleums spread throughout the Islamic world due to the conquest of the Byzantine Empire.

>>2132603Do you think that pajeets really do this?Tell us, how do you enjoy your strategy games with friends?
>>2132572When I was a kid I would roleplay as the villain factions in RTS games with the massive bases that the skirmish AI (the protagonist, in this case) must overcome.I cannot do anything like that in multiplayer because there's no middle ground. Everyone is either a scrub who barely understands core mechanics or strategies, or sweats that have played the game for decades and have optimized all the creativity out of a skirmish.Now I only play co-op games with friends so I don't have to deal with things like this. It's just too tiresome.
>>2132548Honestly it just sounds like his group is a bit soulless. The lack of discussion over anything kinda sells it. Even if they aren't talking about the game they could talk about things going on or something else at least.

>be me, gets ad from "MMORTS">2,5 dimensions, pay-to-accelerate, no combat, base is the same generic built-here (you can't create as you want)>"MMO", you can ONLY raid ONE player at a time despite the whole ALLIANCES, EMPIRES theme>it's just raid, no siege, again no combat, happens while you sleep>keep looking for an actual MMORTS, Eve Online, 99% is mining, 1% is click-point (no real space combat)When MMORTS games will be like in their trailers?What level of technology must be reach to have them?
Economically I couldn't imagine a worse choice than MMORTS.It compounds all of the challenges of a making a success out of a RTS. The massive skill gap. The cognitive load during a time where people attention spans are completely shot. A younger generation that doesn't play rts to begin with.Then you have the classic issues for MMO's. The rapidly stagnating paths of actions. The difficulty of attaining and maintaining critical mass of players.Strategy itself is hard to make than rpg, which means that new content is harder more expensive to make.Really all the challenges are against it.
Lands of Lords used to be pretty cool like 10 years ago but the F*ench fuck in charge keeps running it into the ground. Ymir is made by a refugee from that but he's also F*ench and suffers heavily from the same character flaws.
>>2131740Design issue, not a technology issue.MMOs are characterized by their persistent worlds where everyone can engage on their own terms. Logging in and out, maintaining individual progress apart from a collective, and having perfect control over your own unit(s), all don't gel with RTS game objectives.With an RTS, you have a closed environment and an all-important time factor governing 2+ people trying to kill each other with their units.You could make an MMO with an RTS control scheme, but not RTS progression. That's essentially just two WoW Warlocks fighting each other. You could also make an RTS that tacks on MMO features, but whose persistent world is essentially an over-glorified lobby. The best compromise here is really just a gsg.
>>2131740Only one I know is SAGA, old one.
