I'll like to find out how many JP strategy games are there, so I'll dump covers in this thread.

I'll start with the oldest and most recognizable franchise from Koei.

There was fairly extensive mod for Civ4 but it suffered from some real obnoxious rules, mainly how difficult it made border expansion and how half of army units was restricted to move withing your borders. Way you had to develop your terrain in order to get economy and industry off the ground was interesting tho.

I put that project on hiatus because I didn't find the map interesting and had no idea what type of game I wanted to make. Pic related: incomplete revision that I started working.

Either way, you might be right about the country number. I just feel big blobs are less interesting. Then again, every country on the map demands more engagement from the player.

Surprisingly liking Zero-K a lot despite not being a fan of the "there are no factions, you can build whatever you want/need" idea, but the game makes it work. Also enjoying its excuse of an sp campaign though other players spoiled that it has no satisfying ending, which is a shame. Started playing it after being tempo banned on BAR again.

I finally have an idea how to marry RTS and grand strategy genres. And it's really simple.
Imagine a game like AoE, but with one tiny major twist: a messenger unit.
You build a base, you control your armies, you can micromanage everything you want. But a building starts being built and an army starts marching only when a messenger arrives.
Consequence: your direct expansion is naturally limited, so you'd want to expand indirectly. In a situation when you can completely destroy an opponent, you might instead offer them to become your vassal. Tax contribution, levies, trade redirection etc are tools on top on the good old RTS gameplay.
I'm going to vibe code this shit and present a demo whenever I'll find a moment.

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?

I was honestly disappointed even by Ruina. I played it only when it was already finished and I don't like how long the battles become on the last bits. I also didn't like of some direction of the story, it becomes too anime, and the sephiras getting their comfy new lives kinda ruined the bittersweet ending of suffering and self sacrifice in the first game. Wish they had the guts to let them die.

I also tried Limbus and played up to season 3. I kinda liked it for the lore, but the gacha and live service eventually defeated me.

I just wanted more LobCorp-like writing I guess.

I'm close to dropping Limbus myself. It just continues to eliminate any fun I could even have with it personally. I've only lasted this long due to it being part of my daily ritual and how much I've been relying on that to keep me calm. I like Ruina, but I definitely can understand your opinion of it.
>>
>>2462222
I didn't mind that much the dumbed down combat in Limbus, and absolutely loved the lore and art, the new abnos, music and everything, I thought the combat had its charm even, but PM was terrible with balance or making a game around their own mechanics. At some point I realized I was just doing dailies and mirror dungeons 99% of the time and not having fun anymore, I was burned out of it. I didn't enjoy RR. The pass was too expensive for my country too (no regional pricing).

I missed it many times after I dropped it and I have many good memories, but fuck gacha.

Avaliable for free at https://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/
or as a paid premium version on Steam or Itch.io

>What is the difference?
Both are the same game on the same version (53.xx). The free version uses ASCII as a tileset (but you can mod other usermade tilesets and graphic packs)
With the premium version you pay for a premium tileset + premium OST + access to beta branches and steam integration (if on steam).

or Patrician II depending on what you like to call it.

I would also like to know, why is 3 better than 4?
>>
>>2468466
>>2469261
I have not played IV enough to really offer a comprehensive opinion, but it seemed like they severely casualized it while not doing enough to differentiate it from III. Also not a fan of the aesthetic transition to 3D.

Manufactories were cheaper to build and operate, and would immediately undercut prevailing prices, making them not just viable but preferable from the very start. Housing was also absurdly profitable. Markets started in a far more stable condition where price fluctuations only occurred at the extremes of supply. Captains and auto-trade were available immediately, so I set up a nearly complete four-city circuit at the very beginning of the game and just printed money.

Naval combat was completely ruined. They tried to make it more complex through the introduction of more mechanics like shot type, but they totally flubbed the implementation while also stripping away the simple mechanics like boarding and wind speed/direction which created actual technical depth in III. So much control was removed that I got the impression that there was no meaningful distinction between manual and automatic resolution of sea combat.

Taken together, the biggest problem was that all of these changes served to neuter the sense of progression I described here >>2452236

It is important to understand the context in which the game was created. The developers were bankrupted roughly a decade after producing "III". Their IPs were acquired and the studio mostly retained, but they were then given a very short period to produce a successor to their most popular title and steered toward mimicking the wildly popular Anno (most popular game in Europe), which had experienced a similar trajectory of acquisition and transition to 3D. It's clear that they attempted to address some of the shortcomings of III while adding features from Port Royale, but it just did not have the time or testing to come together into a good game.

I want to add that the visuals really aged bad. amybe in 2009 IV looked like an improvement. From today I can appreciate the detail of 2/3 far more. Meanwhile IV looks like outdated generic RTS slop.
