This game had such a fun concept. I wish they had stuck with the ww1 theming and made a game with deeper mechanics than whatever the fuck the sequel was.

Biplanes are kick ass.

Congratulations, brothers.

Pointless memberberries ‘course, EA has effectively proven that they don’t have any interest and any “grand gesture” they show is just to boost the sales of still broken Ultimate Collection on Steam

Have you tried Populous 3?
It's on a globe too but the map design made that rarely necessary to handle, it's mostly just an option to pull some big brain moves on the AI.
Might ease you in.

I have been working on my own game for about 2 years(on and off depending on my autism levels). Online gameplay works. All current units have their own passives and skills. I am now ready to start drawing all the assets. So long placeholders!

>>2369183
Seems promising. Very Advanced War-ish.
I'd consider replacing stat labels with icons
>>
>>2369270
Yes, the game is pure pvp at the moment. I don't even have a campaign planned yet. And yea I will replace them in that manner.

And that's a good thing! With 2P campaigns you can go up to insane and impossible difficulty levels. Then you'd be crafting with war.

never understand when colony builders do this. even leaving out the obvious gameplay and thematic importance of having children in your colony, it's just sad when a game is less feature complete than fucking Banished

Because most of those games have wonky timeframes and by 5th winter you are probably done with the game. Children growing up would probably feel silly or take too long to be relevant for the playthrough.
Also it aint wrong. Establishing and growth of a new settlement would be mostly migrants. Especially as you are urbanizing.

Anon doing that Saika run here, Playing as the Saika really does a good job at showing how important having a strong home castle is combined with how ridiculous muskets are when they get going.
It also shows how much of frauds the Miyoshi are, they have all that land but the logistics means they can't coordinate offense or defense in a united manner.

In a valiant show of defence, the Federation of Sol fleet defends Mecatol Rex, and uses the Imperial Strategy to score Found the Golden Age spending 16 resources and winning the game! GGs to all involved and if there's more interest we can host again same time next week but this time with YOU as one of the players!

If you check the file it's actually 2 cannons with alternating barrells.
The real secret is in the original the 'quad' variant had lower dps which meant upgrading was actually a downgrade.
