Has anyone tried this game out yet? What did you think of it?
>>1884131The chud mod that doesn't allow women to have any masculine roles.
>>1884084It's Soren saying "I give up, here is the game for Civ V crowd".The biggest joke is that people shat on it extensively when it came out for all its faults, and also because it was an Epic-exclusive, but once it hit Steam, it is memed like some sort of second coming of ChristThe actual game is the definition of average. It does nothing good. It does nothing bad. It exists and is functional. And after about 5 to 8 playthroughs, you've seen everything it has to offer, ever.
>>1884897People only shit on it because it was on Epic. People overpraise it because the 4x market is total dogshit right now and old world does it best for the time period.
>>1884901>People only shit on it because it was on EpicNo, they didn't. They shit on it, because it had terrible launch (not much was fixed about it) and it's just a lackluster game.But vast majority of /vst/ zoomoids was unable to pirate the game and had to wait out until it's on steam to both buy and stay brand loyal, and now they are filling the catalog with the bi-monthly buyer's remorse theads how this game is super-duper-great.And it isn't. And everyone knew that for a year, but then it was "properly" re-released and here we are, few years into the shit.

These are commanded by the general who is at level 6 from fighting in all my volunteer wars.>there's a forested area along the Wabash where you can use a general with the Ranger trait to good effect, they can hold the front line indefinitely so long as you send retreating units back to the front once their org is back to full
>>1886565>the UoA attacks along the entire front with its ridiculous planning bonus and close air support, so I put all my planes on interception duty>most of my air force was lost brunting the initial attack, but you need to sacrifice them in order to not lose any ground>I didn't deploy any CAS of my own, saving them for fighting the smaller factions because the UoA will shoot them down with their 800 fighters>by the time most of Biden's divisions were low on org from constant attacks I was able to push through the initial lines with pre-war military near the great lakes and swung around to Indianapolisthen I went city to city to stock up on supplies, using my infantry brigades to push and militia to infiltrate behind the enemy for little encirclements of individual enemy brigades>there's an uprising in Appalachia that coincided with my advance which distracted the UoA troops and allowed me to advance to Pittsburgh by the time the enemy had defeated them>at this point, the AI was more preoccupied with holding the ever-expanding front than attacking anywhere except out of Chicago and its just cleaning up from there>literally walked into DC, Baltimore, and the rest of the East Coast cities>Biden was a sneaky shit and hid some units in New York that popped out of the border when I wasn't looking>If you can't take the Chicago victory points, you need to take literally everything else to win>probably a quarter or more of the UoA's force was stuck in Chicago the whole time>use your initial PP to get militia out of Minnesota and Missouri>target focuses that either get you more PP generation or get you more attack for your brigades

>>1884610>I want a fantasy game>But I want a historical game>But with fantasy elements>But when you point out the correct title, I will insist it's too outlandishUnironically seek medical help
>>1884610Then just play Chink TW. Other than the post-Rome 2 province management, it's perfectly fine and probably the only TW title out there where diplomacy works.
>>1884899Not my problem if you don't get what I want. I don't want a purely historical setting. I want a fantasy one, with magic as well, but where weapons and armor (and to some extend buildings) look like antiquity or early middle ages. I don't want cartoony kitchen sink settings like Warhammer. Something like Third Age would do, but the problem is that they add film plate armor, when it all should be early medieval. >>1884911Don't care about that setting.
>>1884922>Something like Third Age would do, but the problem is that they add film plate armor, when it all should be early medieval.Yeah I hate that instead of LOTR: the Total War mod, it's LOTR: the Movie: the Total War mod.
i hope feral give m2 a remaster the same way they did for rome. beyond the UI being mobile game tier, all the fixes and modding benefits give an absurd amount of replayability to the game and i'd love to be able to take advantage of those for the m2 setting and mechanics
>use Superior Firepower for years>hear that Grand Battle Plan is now the best>think it's a meme>try it>it actually is goodMy spearheads just can't stop, wtf?
Come on now
>>1863938>sends divisions into pointless battles just to dieSounds realistic, unironically
>>1883477For me it depends on which industry line I go down and therefore my overall capacity.For concentrated you really want to split so you can stagger production losses so you don't accidentally end up with deficits while the new line ramps up.
>>1884917That sounds so fucking good.The absence of roads is one of my biggest pet peeves about this game. For every war since the Great War, roads ARE the map. Like the importance of roads and how they reshape the terrain of the battlefield really can't be overstated. Instead that's just abstracted to infrastructure giving a tiny movement speed bonus.
>>1863496Radar and stack torpedoes on screens. Build up battleships with lots of heavy attacks.
>see new faction is out>game is only like 4gb so I just redownload it to play again>remember "oh right, I fucking suck at this game">get trapped by just the basic neutral mobs creating a field of death around my starting location regalrdd of what faction I pick>150 turns in an unstoppable army from the AI shows up and stomps my face inIt happens every time. Forget getting good, how do I get even decent at this game?
>>1884896I get that about space marines but why do Tyranids, Tau, Chaos, Necron and Eldar all also job to Orks and AM? I have all of the """free""" DLCs but I don't think I've actually fought against any of them yet because they just die offscreen somewhere in the midgame.
>>1885069AM and Orks benefit the best from the general computer ranking buffs. They're both very spam heavy and overall have a nice even curve between what they can spam out. Necrons require specific locations to bolster themselves and have a lot of technical units.Nids require synergy with their synaptic units and proper unit placement to get their best strength.Chaos is also another strange faction that the AI doesn't seem to understand as wellEldar.. I don't play Eldar to really give an explanation. Basically the gist is that Orks and AM are straight forward, have a gameplay that's easy enough for the AI to grasp, and the benefits the AI gets makes for their better traits grow stronger.
>>1885069Tau need good use of drones and overlapping synergies to actually work. as an ai npc faction they just have terrible target priority and sequencing.
>>1885095This. Pretty much why I only like fighting against Orks and Guard. Literally the only factions that pose any threat past the earlygame when under the CPU.
>>1885246Anyone on Primarch difficulty will give you a run for your money. Necrons are usually doing pretty good too, they will spam the repairs with near infinite influence which makes them a lot better at retaining units.
Got it for cheap and waiting for my break day to play it. Can you guys give me a quick rundown?
>>1881842In retrospect, you're probably right. I think my water supply had been strained, but all that showed on the happiness hover was bitching about crime.But what I mean by "fuck you till you build it" is that it's just a tax, a hit on happiness until the building(s) is constructed. If you've ever played Rimworld, a lot of its balance decisions are similar: at a certain point your dudes will start bitching and moaning until you build a thing. There's no interaction with the rest of the game, there's no real reason to build the thing except the game saying fuck you.Power you can import, export, generate yourself a couple of different ways. There's big lines and little lines and substations to plan out. Water has a couple different sources and different quality needs for people and industry, your setup often needs upgrading and after a bit looks like literal spaghetti. And of course sewage has to roll downhill. Waste is a whole side industry and an income stream in itself that you can specialize in.Crime is three buildings and a happiness malus that says fuck you till you build 'em.
SOMEHTINEO HELP ME
>you can't have suburbs in a Soviet simulatorthey said
>>1883336that turned out wonderful Comrade
>>1883298>I think my water supply had been strained, but all that showed on the happiness hover was bitching about crime.The happiness drop down list is not that reliable. You need to have alerts for low happiness, health, and the like, and then diagnose issues with overlays and clicking on apartments to find any real issues.>But what I mean by "fuck you till you build it" is that it's just a tax, a hit on happiness until the building(s) is constructed.>Crime is three buildings and a happiness malus that says fuck you till you build 'em.The primary function of crime is to punish players who ignore their citizen's welfare for too long by kicking them into a crime spiral that is difficult or at least expensive to recover from. You can ignore crime for a few years if you can fulfill people's needs, and by then 30,000 rubles or so isn't a huge sum to pay for three small buildings to deal with the ramp up of crime that comes with approaching 12,000 citizens. If you make a subsequent fuckup with services, you better fix it fast or crime will appear and multiply the issue into a spiral. If your services or utilities are always unreliable, then you better have extra cops on hand to contain the resulting rise in crime.
>new DLC just came out>no threadis this game really that dead?
how the fuck do I stop planes from doing whatever they want toin WGRD if I press it to move somewhere it will circle in a smallest possible radius, in this garbage game I press, check if it actually does what it's asked to and then return 15 seconds later just to find it above the enemy base
>>1884725you have to shift move multiple time back and forth between two points to make sure that they don't go too far into the AA net
>>1884725You have a skill issue. Aircraft in this game have much wider turning circles, so they orbit a larger area when idle. You simply cannot have a Su-27 hover in the air like a helicopter. Also, if you are a brainlet and cannot comprehend 3d space, remember that the camera is at an angle, so the aircraft will appear "forward" of where you click on the ground.
>>1884909>. Aircraft in this game have much wider turning circles, so they orbit a larger area when idleThe radius increases if they do not receive order.Also whatever previous anon said works, so clearly >You simply cannot have a Su-27 hover in the air like a helicopter.is a meme
>cant re-attach towed guns to the vehicles they came onEUGENNNNNNNNNNN
Lovecraftian city builder launching into early access in a few days. Just played through the demo and I thought it was very well done, fairly standard gameplay but with some thematically appropriate wrinkles and no annoying quirks that often plague this genre.

This is a snipped of a homebrew class (in 5e of course) for the Hana Association Fixer. I mostly wanted feedback on how I handled the Trigrams mechanicallyhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/184SjT49KJDM4vKdzLLSvvyk1JakpUwVtDo5StNUIGu0/edit

By the will of Kou Shibusawa, the latest Koei thread begins anew!
8remake is alright I've been bouncing between it and 13 trying to figure out which I like best. Had a fun moment in 13 recently that gives it an edge. Cao Cao was annoying me with constant calls to his stupid councils. So the time I decide not to go he orders me alone governor of Xuchang to take out Yuan Shu with my 10 000 vs 40 000 men. Thought I was doomed but on the way the event fired where Sun Ce leaves with Zhou Yu and half Yuan Shu's troop just in time and I ended up winning the war myself.
>unit size is what determines battles>maps are too small for strategy to matter>30 traits
are there even any officer play Nobunaga ambitions besides Ascension?
>>1885065Not really. There's one of the old untranslated ones with vassal lord play, but if you can actually read Japanese there's no reason to play that for officer play over Taikou Risshiden or something.
>>1885049Most of my battles in 8R just involve rushing down the couple home units and completely ignoring reinforcements and structures since they don't matter for victory anyway. 13 has proper castle walls and fortifications the enemy can hide behind that force you to engage the reinforcements and use some strategy.
