man, idk how you dont get shrekt by inf AT in the towns, but if you can finagle your way around then you must be pretty good with vehicles in cqc. i always end up being retarded when i try to use vehicles in anything but long range support like bradley for tow spam or tanks for tank v tank
if it's close to 4th armoured in avail, then i'd have no problems with it since i just checked war-yes and would be able to take 80 squads of inf in it (if i ever made a british deck).

A lot of tank heavy players don't like to accept risk, you've probably noticed that your ATGMs pretty much shut down any armoured advance not due to the damage they do but the threat of. When I play 11th ACR I'm quite happy to lose tanks if it means I can keep enough in reserve to maintain an advance.

In urban fights I am a lot more cautious, I don't enjoy being side shot by mere reservists. But people forget every tank has at least two machine guns, the suppressive fire from one tank alone is enough to stunlock infantry. I compound this as well because I never call out one tank, I'll always send out a battle pair with intent to form a troop/platoon (4-3 tanks) mutually supporting.

Over reliance on infantry, hollistically but especially in armoured divs, weakens your army and limits the option of manoeuvering.

>>2287479
>not due to the damage they do but the threat of
It's because a single ATGM hit sets a tank's cohesion to nil and then it can't hit anything. There's no point in sitting around eating single damage ATGM hits when you know you're not going to hit back. You need to overwhelm an ATGM position to actually overcome it and usually that's not practical unless you're already miles ahead in value. Better to just use arty to slowly snipe their ATGMs until they run out and then push when the position is weak.

You don't need to sit around eating ATGM's. This is why you need to have mortar support to suppress or destroy ATGM emplacements as you maintain an armoured advance. It's also why you need to have actual mutual support within your tank fleet, so you can close the gap and engage the ATGMs on your terms. 95% of players will either use single tanks or death ball them without any meaningful combined arms because they can't adequately micro their heavier assets.

I'm looking to get some feedback on the visual aspect of my game. The intention is to have a digital tabletop on the left with information about each unit and figure on the right with a preview of the figure.

>>2287576
That does look pretty nice, though I'm not sure what it is. Your retro GUI is certainly nice.

>>2287576
I'm sure you're aware but the sprites on the right don't match up with the DOS aesthetic of the rest of the UI, way too many pixels and colors. But I would say this is a good thing, actual DOS sprites looked like total ass and these ones look nice.

>>2281864
>a while ago
>Demo Build 2 May 13, 2020
Yeah no kidding.

Sounds a bit like Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator, could look at that for some inspiration.
>>2287576
Looks ok. The left side is very empty, if it's not going to have more moving parts then the right side with more information in it should be bigger.
Could add an event log on the bottom, similar to HoMM3's battle log. Can be useful for showing exact game mechanics without having to do much graphics.

>>2287717
The style of the sprites is the best way I have of rapid asset creation and I have really struggled with finding a style for the interface to match. ASCII seemed like a good way to implement it without too much work. Any suggestions on how to improve it are appreciated.
>>2287748
A full map would have terrain features and look more like Dwarf Fortress. An event log is a good idea.

There's parts of Stardew that I quite enjoy. The music is repetitive but doesn't get annoying and it's quite moddable, which are big factors. I never quite got into Rune Factory because combat seemed even more mandatory there than in Stardew. The sub-genre absolutely would be in a better place if bokumono had become the template, I agree. Would be great if Marvelous put some effort into a good new main entry instead of shitting out PoOT and endless remakes.

Just port over Trio of Towns and I'd be peachy.

each god plays different though and then every time you advance an age you have to also choose between different gods
it's the "subfactions" op asked for

>>2285536
Each god offers a couple of different research techs, a new unit a new ability, but none changes the basic faction mechanics, the Norse still needs Ox Carts, the Egyptians still gain favour by building monuments and so on.

Also shame that SC2 stopped selling those cosmetics, was really looking foward for a complete mechanized Terran skin, with robotic Marines and all.

>AoE and its derivatives have very minor differences between factions.

>>2286662
AoM has big asymmetry between factions, ill give you that. but as >>2286403, "subfaction" difference within faction as a whole is very light.
and regarding AoE and SWGB, there are a lot of factions that have, again, small differences between them, nothing too fancy compared to SC coop

And if you called it Ukraine, people would laugh about Russia getting conquered by Ukraine. Realistically speaking, that region should probably be called Eastern Europe, in the same way "Northern Europe" is called Northern Europe and not Germany or Poland.

The Thyme group (I think it was some reverse engineering effort before they released CCGZH's source) seems to have already implemented a whole lot of the necessary fixes. The code is now compatible with C++ 20, furthermore they are

Modernizing the Codebase: Transitioning to modern C++ standards and refactoring old code.
Critical Bug Fixes: Fixing game-breaking issues (e.g., fullscreen crash).
Minor Bug Fixes: Addressing minor bugs (e.g., UI issues, graphical glitches).
Cross-Platform Support: Adding support for more platforms (e.g., Linux, macOS).
Engine Improvements: Enhancing the game engine to improve performance and stability.
Client-Side Features: Enhancing the game's client with features such as an improved replay viewer and UI updates.
Multiplayer Improvements: Implementing a new game server and an upgraded matchmaking lobby.
Tooling Improvements: Developing new or improving existing tools for modding and game development.
Community-Driven Improvements: Once the community grows, we plan to incorporate more features, updates, and changes based on player feedback.

Another thing to note with the community version is that MOAB bombers can now spawn from any direction, they also come directly from the edge where your base is. However, that's only true for AI MOABs, your's can't spawn like that into their bases.

King Philippe VI of the House of Valois, a cadet branch of the Capetians, is the first monarch to break the long, unbroken line of direct Capetian succession. With the imminent invasion of King Edward III, his choices are limited: he must defend his realm and secure alliances quickly.

For now, he can rely on his defensive pacts to form alliances with the King of Hungary within the Holy Roman Empire, as well as with the Duke of Holland, who is also ironically an ally of the English. Historically, the French crown maintained a strong alliance with Scotland, urging the Scots to launch raids and invasions whenever England moved against France. In return, when England turned its attention north, France supported Scotland by sending knights, equipment, and resources to resist English aggression. This remains one of Philippe’s most reliable options.

Will Philippe gather enough allies to withstand Edward’s ambition, or will he become a mere footnote in history before the rising power of the Plantagenets?

The rest of the world is no less unstable. After the breakup of the Mongol Empire, the Golden Horde has grown bolder toward the kingdoms of Eastern Europe. Preparing for a possible invasion from the steppes, Kaiser Ludwig von Wittelsbach of the Holy Roman Empire has strengthened his borders and sent envoys, informants, and missionaries eastward to learn more about the threat. King Magnus IV of Sweden and Prince Feodor III of Novgorod share these fears. The Teutonic Order stands nearby, yet remains preoccupied with its pagan foes in Lithuania, especially now that the heirs of that realm follow Orthodox and Baltic faiths.

From the Holy Land comes word that the Muslim powers are fighting among themselves. This may be the opportunity His Holiness, Pope Benedict XII, has awaited to launch a Tenth Crusade. Yet he may be distracted by the growing conflict between France and England. French by birth and elevated to the papacy with Capetian support, he is unlikely to sanction a war between Europe’s greatest Christian realms—especially when the Golden Horde, the Ilkhanate, and the rising Ottomans press at the frontiers of Christendom.

A new great power has risen on the Indian subcontinent: the Tughluq Khaganate, the mightiest realm from Ireland to Cathay in wealth and armies. Padishah Muhammad II must balance the forces of the region and appease his nobles if he wishes to maintain his authority and remain a dominant power.

Meanwhile, the Yuan dynasty in China, though no longer at its peak, still projects influence from the Holy Land to the far reaches of the world. Vulnerable to rebellion yet formidable in reach, they remain a threat to any power with ambitions in the East.

shout out to the landless ummayad prince that slew one king and took the next one down with him. The struggle for france has been greatly enkinoed by their sacrifices.

>>2280569
Why didn't he get the "Kingslayer" nickname?

He slew TWO kings.

Anyone else ever had an issue with death sounds not playing?

The sound is working fine outside of that. But whenever a character dies or is executed no sound plays and it sucks. The files are in the correct folder and I've already tried to uncheck and check the "play death sounds" box.

I like the RK setup more than DV but if they just presented some actual alt history about decolonization like you said it'd at least be something. It could even be better than what's there now if done right. I don't think that could ever happen under the current team however since they're fully devoted to OTLism. I think DV has poisoned the well for any African rework too. Who'd want to touch that after that?
I agree with you about Burgundy and Himmler. He was supposed to get a route in Germany btw but since that has had zero progress I don't think we're seeing that ever. At this point it might as well just have been something that the dev said to make people let him remove Burgundy.

>>2289988

Technically, you don't NEED the map to do Antarctica's content. Just add all the events to Germany and make it a CYOA adventure while you focus on other things. You aren't allowed to collapse the other bases anyway so it's not like doing it this way would change anything other than removing whatever this thing is.

Why is that? I feel that sandbox mode is overwhelming when you're new to the game and see all those parts without having any idea what they do. Science mode feels like a campaign that slowly opens up new possibilities

>>2274806
Because the idea that this game offers you an actual way to experiment with bits and pieces, rather than having a small handful of ways to do things and everything else simply not working, so eventually you get to the point where there is no real point, gain or even entertainment from "trying out".
Mods, meanwhile, allow that to happen, simply because they actually give you options.
