Best city builder in your opinion?>Cities: SkylinesShitties of them all in my opinion. In this one you have shit like 16 people living in a skyscraper and you can't even build realistic sized cities. The traffic simulation is supposed to be good but its nonsensical (drivers are incapable of changing lanes, the game puts pedestrian crossings through roundabouts etc.).>Cities: Skylines 2Not even top tier computers can run this past a certain city size.>Simcity 4You can build massive cities in it. Its a shame that the game was designed to build american style cities though (no mixed zones, no public housing, etc.). Game runs like shit too because of its old engine.>Citystate 2This is the best one in my opinion. Economics makes sense and you have neat details like poor people building slums if you can't fill their housing demand either through making enough housing zones or building public housing units. There is also an entire legislation system that allows you to make anything between a communist hellhole and an anarcho-capitalist dystopia. I wish the game was moddable though.
>>2139200>I like Anno 2205Very comfy city builder. The hate it gets is mostly due to misplaced expectations. It's also the last Anno before they committed to DLC diarrhea.
>>2127978Those taxes are based on land you own and it's worth something like 2% of total value.You can just sell more expensive plots to reduce taxes for next year.Anyway adding stereoscopic 3d to train view was a genius move
>>2268005>>2274355I need to try this.
How do you reset (home/default) region in city state 1
>>2415660Yeah I did expect it to be an actual Anno game.

Friend recommended this game to me. Is it any good?
>>2373374What sets Old World apart to me is that the AI is by far least retarded out of all current 4X games. It is like no other 4X game can figure out that you need to give units a lot of space and mobility to give AI a chance in 1-unit-per-tile warfare.

started playing this recently, just been going through the tutorials learning thingsit's pretty fun.orders are a unique way to handle per-turn actions, it's a neat balancing act.are city projects worth it? like the archive, which gives some research and an extra one permanently
>>2417780City projects are handy for cities without decent specialists.
What are the most interesting CK2 campaigns you've had?
>>2416772this was in ck2, not the ck3 multiracial fetish one.
>>2406534Probably my first major CK2 run; I started as a Suomi pagan and wanted to form a merchant republic, but Charlemagne became a heretic and it collapsed his empire, while the Norse reformed and took over western Europe. This included using 20k Jomsvikings to bully me whenever, so I lost my merchant republic and became a kingdom in Pskov, living only due to Suomenusko defensive bonuses. It took many centuries, but I eventually found a way to fight back, fighting along alongside Christian Mongols and the Byzantines whenever we had the chance because none of us could do it on our own. /gsg/ encouraged me to form Hyperborea but the custom empire creator chose a disgusting color you couldn't change as easily thenI shared the AAR with /vg/gsg/ back in the day, it was a fun timehttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1HPD3CSQ_fCC0Atw6k5Gkaj7u541oDFrttkhjb86QVaE/edit?usp=drivesdk
>>2417395Nvm on the byzantines, the muslims took over iberia and anatolia then never did anything against the norse
>>2406534Stared as Ottomans near the end of the timeline and got myself elected Byzantine emperor. That was neat.
>>2406727>Poland>I managed to carve out a respectable empire in between the seas and hold off mongols. By the end I maintained an uneasy balance between me, HRE on the west, Horde on the east and Hungary to the southIn early CK2 version before implementing diplomatic distance, I made the first Kang of Poland black due to selective breeding.
9.00 beta is ongoing. have they finally fixed aux ships? are torpedo bombers in a playable state at last? we'll find out once the changes are finalized.
>>2411963I've seen their "fixed" AI driving destroyers to within groping distance of space stations just like before, so I'm not holding my breath on that one.
>>2412261apparently the actual fighting AI is much improved. I am too lazy to play the beta.

Come play this turn based strategy game with me, new round just startedhttps://empire-of-vice.com/
I've been completely out of the loop on what happened to PM for the last couple of years. More or less gave up on them with the launch of Limbus, and the old mongolian basketweaving forum alongside it. Has anything good happened in the last three years, or is Director just coasting on whales? Got a notification from PM's youtube channel out of the blue and remembered that this was once a part of my life.Also what's with the new captchas and having to wait five minutes? Are the bots that rampant?
>>2373364Is it true this game takes 100 hours to finish? This is insane if true...
>>2413886Isn't that "short" compared to many vns or rpgs?
>>2413901VNs and RPGs aren't games where you have to think though.
>>2413886Someone who knows exactly what they're doing would probably beat it in 40. You're expected to fail repeatedly and have to rollback several hours, because of the checkpoint system.
>>2394342Steam chat with whom? Me, myself and I? It's not like there's some secret namefag team assembled already - the aforementioned composer is the only specific person I know to have been somewhat interested in the idea, otherwise all my feedback has been from anons on here.>>2400943The difference is that Don's Ye Olde English will presumably remain olde for the foreseeable future (if not forever). Meanwhile Kira's>current yearspeech will be outdated in just a few more, and at that point the game is still meant to be alive (remember, 10 years), meaning that the character will be shown to new players in a different way than originally intended. Unless they go out of their way to update her lines with the newest lingo every year, but>PM>ever going back to fix old shitlol, lmao even>>2413743It also means that if you go with the golden rule of "roll for who you like" and you don't like most of the starting cast, then later on you probably still won't have much to roll for. Whether that's a curse or a blessing is debatable.
In pretty much every 4x game you are leading a unified nation, where your decisions are always followed. Are there any games that try to simulate internal political struggles? A lot of them will abstract it away with a happiness meter, but I'm wondering if any dev has tried to go deeper.
>>2400365The USSR was very efficient at doing whatever dear leader decided should be done.The issue was that dear leader was a retarded communist so every stupid decision he made very efficiently turned the country into more and more of a shithole.
>>2415530>real authoritarianism has never been done before, but this time for sure

>>2393118I'll gift it to you, share your steam username
or Patrician II depending on what you like to call it.There are some comfy posting threads every now and then but we never actually discuss the game. Passed some time since the last one so let's do this.
>>2413711Really? you sure this is a problem with the general procedure and not something that popped up with using operating systems 20 years ahead of those which the game was initially designed for?I remember starting in Malmo, London, Bergen or Novgorod and I never got any problems with the game. Although this is years ago.
>>2413715I kept getting crashes, so eventually i stopped trying
>>2413399>High Seas, High ProfitsI played only the demo of it but I was annoyed that "real time" was just not pausing every turn and the simulation was very "croase". Like I know there's some simulation tick in the end but the ships jumping forward annoyed me more than it should.
Anyone knows if it's been figured out how to manipulate the odds where a new settlement spawns?
speaking of settlements, does this happen to anyone else that some ai merchant founds a new settlement and that one is essentially out for the rest of the game? how to prevent this to happen?
Could it have worked?
>>2405939The Wii U should get Shogun 2 and Napoleon Total War ports instead shitty Sonic Boom and that awful Aliens.
Halo Wars played decently, all things considered
>>2411098Remind: >>>/vr/12589983
Get a game made for it by a group with passion and it could work.
>>2413527Not sure if I can find them.
How come no one is ever discussing this on /vg/ other than to talk shit about orcs and how they're a bunch of savage barefoot pieces of shit who genocide every people they come across and drink demon cum when they fail . Maybe it's just meFavorite faction? Builds? I enjoy my night elf bears but it gets boring doing the same thing every time
>>2409270they were just doing their jobI don't think they tortured him for fun or something
>>2372733So Arthas cucked that elf nigga. No wonder he's so edgy and beserk.
>>2415470>I'll try to answer but you should try to understand concepts rather than memorize the rock paper scissorsThank you. And yes, it's concepts that I'm looking to understand, and many are not as intuitive as I'd like. Spamming footies, for example, is something I've seen people do after finishing the expo, which I'd have thought is a poor use of supply and gold, much of it as you have while you stabilize your lumber income. But, I've seen pros float 1k gold for a few good minutes after finishing expo as well. I understand that it relates to how aggressive your opponent is, but I always prefer a well thought out game plan to reacting willy nilly to your opponent's whims. Eh maybe that comes with time and practice
>>2416015That's exactly why you spam footmen, yes.>have surplus gold income for a few minutes>are behind in tech and units>need to train peasants>can just spam footmen to try and hold on until your economy starts rollingYou aren't expecting miracles from them but if you make nothing you risk being overwhelmed or at least giving up the entire map. Footmen allow you to maintain a presence and at least try to creep. A passive opponent doesn't necessitate this.>float 1k goldFloating gold is less bad in wc3 than most other rts. Shops give you options to instantly spend a lot of gold and upkeep creates another incentive to bank. Because of upkeep, making too much of the wrong unit can be seriously detrimental since it becomes even more expensive to transition away or you have to lose units.>I always prefer a well thought out game plan to reacting willy nilly to your opponent's whims. It's not a dichotomy and it depends on the matchup. he higher you climb the more necessity there is to react to your opponent but at lower levels simply executing your build well as if it were singleplayer is often enough.If you plan to spam bears, gryphons, wyrms, knights, etc you can often win simply because your opponent doesn't know how to counter it. However, if they do and they identify what you are doing then you're cooked.Your game plan should really be based on your hero, creeping patterns, and timings. Which units you make necessarily has to be flexible because of the rock paper scissors mature of armor and damage types - you cannot spam bears if he is spamming walkers and you cannot spam dryads if he is spamming rifles.Your hero, however, is chosen in the first minute and that decides a lot: whether you can fast expand, whether you can effectively kill workers, whether you can steal creeps, and more.This is really the dimension of wc3 which makes it unique and the hardest part to learn imo. Wc3 is a game predominantly about micro and knowledge.
Is there anywhere I can find build orders, and general strategies for/against each race? I haven't decided which one to play and I'd like to get into laddering.
Hello s/vst/ anons. We gather here to discuss one of the RTT games of all time.OG games can be gotten from GOG. For standalone, mods and maps I visit sudden-strike-maps.de.Notable projects:>RWM 8.5>Vietnam Project>Modern Warfare Mod>SUSST 3 is 'gud akshully'GOG edition comes with the addon and is patched to have the improved unit path finding that The Last Stand provided, also modern resolution support. Use Batus mod for skins and new units.Sudden Strike 4 is better with DLCs and SS4Ever Mod Extended.Sudden Strike 5 released recently. It has a demo. I wasn't impressed.

>>2399352The combat in Total War games is RTT
>>2402948Well I finally finished Germany's campaign. Difficulty picks up in mission 6 but it's managable.The game is kinda janky and lacks a lot of QoL features but overall I like. I like how it tries to be realistic in it's own way. Forrest combat irl is pain in the ass and here forest combat is also pain in the ass. Urban combat requires going door to door clearing out and then controling the buildings and here you basically do the same thing. In general you need to mix up infantry, armored vehicles and tanks to be effective. Also, those intros to missions are terrific, I really really like them. Would be awesome to replay them during the game, especially after you dropped the game for couple of days.On the other hand there's a lot of turtling since whole gameplay boils down to outscouting and out-field-of-viewing your opponent. And it sucks that the only proper scouting unit is an officer. Can I put him in a tank so he'll use his binoculars from there? I tried to do it but didn't really work but maybe I'm doing something wrong. I feel like this will get old pretty quick but we'll see, I will definitely play the other campaigns first.Game's a bit annoying at times but overall really satisfying hence pretty fun.What's the next best campaign to play?
>>2399065Wait did they finally add widescreen support?
>>2412421Personally I think the jap campaigns are peak just because the terrain looks amazing. Really have try the vietnam mod because jungle in this game looks great.

How come there are no other games like Mount & Blade?Kingdom-managers where you roam on the map, encounter characters and bandits en route, and witness a village being burned down.Compare it to CK3, where you can move on the map, but everything is still extremely capital-focused, and when you make trips, you are essentially doing them in a void, meaning you don't come across other characters in the same province, only random events.
>>2407868Its through showing her your big entreprise and profitmogging other suitor.
Posting in honor, or honour if the CaoCao poster.
>>2382489Sands of Salzaar is similar, it's like dynasty warriors and feudalism with M&B's overworld interactions.Freeman Guerrilla Warfare is like M&B in a modern setting but it hasn't had an update in years.
>>2382489I had so much fun just raiding bong villages and monestaries in Viking Conquest and then selling it. I wish there was another game where I could just do that. I tried Bannerlord but it felt like shit to play and sailing felt very clunky. It also seems like the game forces you to move up from that position and do proper army/kingdom stuff.
>>2416773>Freeman Guerrilla Warfare is like M&B in a modern setting but it hasn't had an update in years.Concept of this game is so good, I wish someone actually did something around it.I do recall there was this one game where you had some city management, could build modern armies and stuff (battles were first person) but I tried it and it was kind of shit.
