Anybody still play this game? I've been trying to get back into it and its been getting some updates lately. Airmech is kind of a Lite RTS where you take control of a transforming mecha to directly air drop and give orders to units in a simple battle for control of the map. Eventually ending when one team manages to destroy the others main base. Its been around forever and had several reworks that dramatically changed the way it played.

>>2490897In the game communism works.
>>2477673It was bad even at the time. I actually had a shitload of fun building cities, but it was extremely easy to win just building and occasionally blocking incoming attacks with little to no effort. And it was so fucking dumbed down, the creature mechanics removed all effort and mystery and made it clear how retarded everything was. And to add on top of it, the military was as barebones as it comes.Still a fun game, in the end, but one I think of as a comfy city builder than a god simulator like its predecessor.
>>2476337hmm, dwarf fortress or songs of syx, i guess. or would those be more like "colony sims"? >>2476451this. i remember that game, its really fun lol
>>2490383>Chink studio making it got banned from Steam (twice!) for posting bot reviews of their own games.wtf i love steam now. they probably didn't bribe them enough. i swear tons of no-name games have botted reviews, and none of the online game stores give a shit.
>>2480980>a lot of side quests, funny voice acting and all thatOh, you mean THE FUCKING SHIP CREW with their SHIT, UNSKIPPABLE SONG that you CAN'T FUCKING SKIP and THEY SING ALL THE TIME and YOU CAN'T EVEN FIREBALL THEM because dev is proud of himself for including these INSUFFERABLE FUCKS."OHH LOOK HERE YOUR FUCKING NPCS SING A FUCKING SONG AREN'T YOU GLAD YOU PAID FOR THIS PIECE OF SHIT GAME YOU FUCK". It's a game that makes you feel bad for pirating it. Because you're responsible for creating one more copy in the world, like the ring video.
Recommend me some comfy city or country builder with economy management.

It looks interesting, anyone here played it?
>crickets
>>2496397From what I gathered people got upset because it was just a 1 to 1 remake of the original.
>>2496483Pretty much. Even the same dogshit camera zoom.
>>2496483Yeah it was largely this. Original game was already kinda obscure. The "sequel" was just a not particularly high budget remake that really is just shovelware.Also some fags tried to build it up as muh total war killer when it's really nowhere close to be able to compete.
>>2496580It's OK, Total War killed itself anyway
Did ANYONE play this fucking game?
>>2492958It's the other way around, actually
>>2493097Wait, are you telling me shadow empire is a mod of THIS? Damn, I love decisive campaigns now
I'll stick to Shadow Empire
Wait, this looks actually good. Is it better than Shadow Empire?
>>2487931NO I have notYES I want to play it
Calling all /vst/ users!I need data!What was the first RTS game you ever played?
Either Warcraft 2 or Civilizations 1 on super nintendo.
>>2404243Red Alert 2, I'd play skirmishes with my dad.
>>2404243C&C demo on psone
>>2495175>Civilizations 1 on super nintendo.that's TBS
>>2404243I do believe it was Warcraft 2 demo edition on some Mac shareware CD, goddamn I miss the feeling when those times were fresh. The first real RTS I ever actually owned was this edition of Starcraft, having demo'd the hell out of that as a kid too.
What is the best game for playing as a ruthless international corporation? Think United Fruit Company, Nestle, HBC, and so on. Bonus points if you can be extremely exploitative and evil. Closest thing I've found so far is playing megacorporations in Stellaris, but it's not particularly great at selling the experience, since you just play like any other empire but with an abstract "establish branch office" button.
>>2493061tropico
>>2493061honestly you might have to make it yourself. there might be some capitalism-evil business sim out there but I wouldn't count on that being good
>>2493061Patrician, no contest. You can be a Hanseatic monopoly-enforcing, scarcity-provoking, piracy-funding, competitor-sabotaging, influence-peddling, graft-enjoying businessman. Also the most corrupt politician and the most evil landlord. By comparison, being a pirate is almost quaint.
>>2493077Which one?

Austerlitz campaign, we finally spot the Austrian army headed towards the river crossing, the bridgehead must hold until the arrival of our infantry.The enemy rushed for the crossing without scouting, confiding he wouldn't find us there, and his marching column appears in front of our light cavalry. There's only one thing to do that can buy us time: a bold Hussar charge.The bold French "hussards" plunge into the enemy ranks causing mayhem, many fall under the Austrian musketry but their sabres reap many more; the enemy forward elements flee and disappear into the marshes. The bridgehead holds, for now. Our infantry had better be here soon."Any hussar who isn't dead by the age of thirty is a scoundrel."-General Antoine Charles Louis de Lasalle
>>2481629I really like Napoleonics so this thread is good to see, but this looks like its at a battalion level? which is just too low level for me - I cba with the micro management. How long does it take you approx. to finish the battle of Austerlitz?
>>2495666It's battalion level, I'm not sure how could you add more micromanagement than that considering that units generally formed up at the battalion level.Turns are 10 or 15 minutes each, depending on which module you want to choose.
>>2495793Sorry I meant that as in I'd rather it was at higher level/less micro management e.g. regiment or even brigade level. I remember playing TalonSoft's 'Prelude to Waterloo' as a kid but struggled with the patience to finish a full game other than on smaller scenarios.
>>2495856Nah sorry, it's on me. It's clear what you meant, rereading it.Tbf it also has smaller scenarios but day-long or multi-day big battles are common, I feel like btn level is the best scale for games such as these.Alternatively go grand strategy with AGEOD WoN.
>>2495856There are a number of mechanics to reduce micro like having entire formations move along a road by holding alt or move in formation by holding shift.But yes if you play a massive battle like Leipzig then you're going to have a lot of units to micromanage. There are options to have the AI command control parts of your army (badly) or just play a smaller scenario.
Anyone playing this?
>>2493470Good. Especially for line infantry, they need to make it so their idea of upgrades being a tradeoff actually hits. I've been able to practice literal necromancy in this game, so "slow" replenishment hardly matters
>We are looking at around 158 new units being added for the anniversary update including new renowned units with new achievements for all nations.>New Saxon conscripts coming to the Freikorps tree.>Very low morale (not loyal to the Prussians) but super high stats. If you can get the right items/officers to fix the morale problem, they can be super deadly. there's a few more screenshots in the Discord but I can't be assed posting them all.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXeEv1y8A6MThis is so stupid.If you want to make a game like heroes of might and magic 3, you can just make another heroes of might and magic.Like 4, 5, 6, 7 and most recently olden era did.and If you don't have the IP, then make Songs of Conquest.You're not capturing any lost 1999 essence by remaking the game, it doesn't have obvious faults that make it hard to play, other than possibly an online client which is already fixed through HotA.Mechanically it isn't even the same as homm3, so why remake it and not make another homm game, for the story? The story isn't uniquely good. It's fine don't get me wrong, but it's not like anyone is genuinely salivating at the thought of restoration of erathia's story could only get shown properly in 2026.Cowardly cash grab that I hope blows up in their face.I hope homm3 players aren't so stupid that they actually pay for this shit.
>>2495069i'd take this guy over the best of ten trannies
>>2494995Plus fix the AI. Yeah, instead of remaking perfection, they should've picked up something that didn't live up to its potential.
>>2495088>ESL bitching about tranniesyou guys have both lower IQ levels and lower life expectancies (HIV, suicide rates, war, poverty) than trannies

Has any living soul played this game?Is there even any game similar to it? Besides Advance Wars and Panzer Corps.
>>2492718>brutal.Right?The warwind games were fun, but had a few bugs and were janky in places.They stood no chance when going head to head with something with the polish of Warcraft.
>>2475188Leopard 2A6 tanks were OP
>>2492971They were, and you could just unlock them by completing an easy campaign mission not too far in.
>>2478806I remember that being one of my favourite maps. I liked starting in Egypt and attacking north.
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?
>>2493646>no pacific>but adds 12931239012710 halftracks with minimal changes in armor and weaponry
How important are the DLCs for this game and what do they generally add? How should a new player approach it?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7x3hPilTy4And does this game actually have 50 billion different tank units?
>>2495303>And does this game actually have 50 billion different tank units?it has most major variants with the odd insignificant faff thrown in but is still missing some stuff
why does the US have to be so shit in these games? my infantry costs more and has worse weapon skills, tanks cost more and die to any old AT gun, and garands still fucking run out of ammo in just 2minutes of fighting without hitting anything.does anyone have any tips on what units specifically to buy in goh? in mowas2, i know assault squad/elite marksmen/m8 scott were pretty good, but i dont know what's actually worthwhile for the US or which doctrines are best.

>>2498676Nah, you can annex them normally quite fine. The guy is either doing something blatantly wrong or stumbled into a glitch.
>>2498663So instead of learning the game you're just gonna cheat to make it easier?

Anyone here who played some african (not boer or north african) countries?It sounds like a horrible experience but someone must have done it.
