I've only played the SNES ages ago so that's the one I'd recommend. The first and second UW got ported to Steam a few years ago, but it's a straight port from the old PC release so I heard they have a few technical issues playing on modern hardware. So again, I don't think you have much options here.

Everything about this game is so fucking broken, it's terrible because this game has great potential but it's buried under awful fucking braindead AI, Terrible pathfinding , GARBAGE fucking coding and the list goes on to a million.

Doesn't help the few die hard followers suck the devs dick nonstop and act like the game is perfect and you are an entitled le troll for daring to criticize it.


Nothing is going to get fixed, the dev will just keep shitting out even more broken dlc to fleece the few retards still buying this broken pos.

They're not good, AND I feel like they're bugged.
Like, the archmage doesn't have a casting animation, in Reforged, he just stands around, and you have to wait him out, or just "stop", you can move him. And sometimes, units don't acknowledge order. They still obey, but they don't say their lines.

It is just for the MP tournament that will happen, they are wrestling rebellion to update the game so it is easier to implement this even into SP missions.
The issue is just that Mike Arkin/Revoemag has a bone against the BZ1 community unlike Ken Mates/Ultraken who is the guy who kept the game alive for years with the 1.5 patch.

As for single player stuff, Redux got a ton of it, BZCC is also more more friendly with multiplayer mods and you can use those on SP too.

As for the rant

i'm looking to go through this guide with my brother since we're both tired of Age of Empires II and IV, but it appears to be about 10 years out of date. i'm considering updating it but need some open-ended input from strategy game NERDS like yourselves.

some basic questions to start:
1. is there already an updated version of this guide?
2. is C&C2 actually a good place to start? why or why not?
3. "wait for Dawn of War 3" is an item on this list, which has since released. is it good?
4. why is SC2 in "purgatory"? has SC1 outlived its sequel?
5. what strategy games have come out in the last 10 years that should be added to this list?
6. which games currently on this list should be *removed* from this list?
5 replies omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>1893294
would you say the guide was trying to follow mechanics or follow themes?

why would C&C2 be the starting point?
>>
>>1893294
>It's mostly a tracker for the mechanical evolution of the genre.
Not really. Notice how far removed RA1 and RA2 are, for the most obvious example. It's a chart made by anons relying on their preferences with some adjustments made for potential newcomers to the genre back when the thing was made.

DoW 3 is bad?
>>
>>1892683
Probably best to do an overall 'recommendations', grouping them by how they operate mechanically. Maybe different starting points for such styles if you want to keep elements of a flow chart. A plethora of remasters have also hit the genre since, many good and bad.

>>1895157
Yeah, DoW3 is legitimately bad and has effectively killed its series. It's boring as fuck. DoW2 might be polarizing to DoW1 fans, but it does what it sets out to do well, outside of terrible skirmish AI.

What's the best way to setup a carrier so it sits in range to send its wings (4000 range) but doesn't try to brawl?
Ex. I have the Capital carrier from DME. If I don't give it any specific orders it sits near where it "spawned" in battle and does nothing.
If I set it to Search and Destroy is flies like a normal warship.
If I set it to escort something else it also gets into direct combat.

are there hidden requirements to subjugate a faction militarily other than them only having one settlement left? I need a puppet state for one of the bonus objectives of my faction's mission line, but for some reason I don't get the option to subjugate the one region faction I'm at war with. Do they also have to not have armies, or do I need to border them? Or can you not subjugate factions that can form hordes? Those are the 3 potential problems I can think of

I did deathwar the Command but it ended in a stalemate, I was hoping to ally Sir but they were permanently hostile to me, by the time I noticed the alliance wouldn't happen the Xia had no troops left so I no-CB'd them in panic. Ended up getting max money and some of my vassal's cores in 1460 and Sir ended up independent but nothing more than that.
Probably should've savescummed the Axebellow spawning point in hindsight, they spawned next to Grozumdihr so getting to the Command took ages, probably did too many expeditions too.

I was told that this is like XCOM but with big mechs so naturally after a 2 week long xcom2 binge i decided to try it. It took me some time to get adjusted cause oh boy is that game in another universe in production value, animations are janky, music is forgettable, almost non existent voice overs and when there's one it often sounds like it got recorded with a $5 mic in a garage. Abysmal performance is also a paradox for me (get it, cause it was published by pdx), game looks like something from 2008 yet constantly uses 70++% of CPU/GPU even when theres nothing on screen, every menu lags, its fucking 2d text window but opening it has noticeable delay, i just started the game theres nothing in the hangar, wtf. The only good thing about that game was 2min intro with lore, seriously can someone explain to me why this pathethic excuse of a game has such a devoted following?

If your going to complain about something, I think the MTX design should be the thing that's scrutinized the most. Let alone that it kinda is a neutered experience compared to almost any other rts in existence.

its just another nail in the coffin. If you want MTX in your game, the game needs to be good and attract players first. But this gook retard in charge begins by shoving an invoice in your face when the game isnt even fully out yet, it deserves to die and go bankrupt out of principle.
Retards behind Homeworld 3 also thought they could sell MTX, they lost their jobs instead lmao

Gameplay honestly not bad bro. It's mid at worse, but it's honestly perfect for getting friends who don't typically play rts into the genre.
I personally have been playing this with a friend and it's simple enough for him to get the idea of what he's been missing. I'll see if I can play something else with him like bar.
>But this gook retard in charge begins by shoving an invoice in your face when the game isnt even fully out yet, it deserves to die and go bankrupt out of principle.
I really fucking hate battlepasses, and I hope to god they cool off with that shit.
They better just do a sc2 and make it mostly cosmetic shit. I don't think the average rts player is willing to put up with that.
I can easily go and play bar, halo wars, Dow1, and aoe to name a few instead if I want to play a competitive rts. Let alone the new shit were getting a ton that hopefully won't suck ass.

I fucking love Per Aspera, but only because it's the only planetary terraforming game that's actually about planetary terraforming and not say civ management or making money or something. They not-campaign mode has been a great toy.
The campaign and story is fucking dogshit, they probably wasted a ton of money on voice actors, every criticism or complaint anybody has of this game is 100% correct.
