They actually out quite well if you have multiple avenues where your long range can hit across different paths. The main issue here is that it requires a fair bit of planning with paths and if its flyer heavy its gonna be a bitch.

I entered this thread hoping for a PvZ thread, severely disappointed but that raises a question.

Would one thread dedicated to PvZ be allowed at least for a while? There is actual new content, PvZ3 China edition released a new beta and it adds actual unique art, trying out a completely new levelling mechanic for plants (which is trash desu, levelling up plants outside the yard defense gameplay loop is retarded imo) and new plants that don't seem annoying. Also the card game finally got updated after years, and the card game was really good.

>Dungeon Warfare is good, shit graphics but good gameplay.

Seconding Dungeon Warfare. I think even two is better.
What I liked about this is the variety of towers. They're not all damage type towers that simply shoot projectiles at different speeds.
There are traps that pull, traps that teleport, traps that yeet... it opens for a lot of environmental kill strategies that aren't just present in other TD games.

Bro are you me?
Loved Alien Shooter TD, bought 2112 because I thought it looked the same but it's not on the same level. Hated those enemies that disable your towers. They're not even that difficult to kill, just unfun to deal with. And the game spawns them regularly.

It would such a huge qol improvement if you could set rules for ship design instead of the binary system of full-automation or full-manual.

Yeah.
Look like in beta patches auto design should at least keep used types of weapons when upgrade.

That's the thing, I captured it no problem last time. The issue is that I left it to go deal with their invasion. Next time I'll just keep my army there.

Anyway, right now I'm trying to take over Ming. For some reason the "Mandate of heaven" CB doesn't seem to exist even thought they definitely have it.

I ended up just going to war with Ming and nabbing a bunch extra provinces. Renaissance spawned in Beijing, which is great, but it's taking a while to spread.

Anyway, what i'm trying to do is keep invading Ming as often as possible to get as much money and territory before they break. I even did stuff like vassalizing Tibet, which apparently formed when i wasn't looking. And took a bunch of other tibetan minors as tributaries.

Anyway, this time I don't have to worry. Korea isn't a threat and i'm not in some war-fueled debt spiral. All i need to do is keep invading Ming until i can do the 'form Yuan' mission, then all the hard parts (in east asia) will be over.

I liked VI best for the way they implemented districts and the unique feeling a lot of civs had that changed the way you played the game. My favorite part by far was planning out cities dozens of turn in advance and figuring out how I was going to build everything. Filling in every tile with efficient district and improvement placements is incredibly satisfying and really cements that feeling of seeing your civ develop. I know the art style is controversial but I don't really mind the cartoony leaders, and the map itself looks very colorful and vibrant which is much more important imo. By comparison V felt dull to play and hideous to look at.

I only played a bit of IV as a kid and I was much more into the spectacle that Total War games offered back then so I can't really comment much on that one.

Civ III Boomers, I wanna give it a go.
Tell me if there are any essential community patches or mods, that let it run smoothly on modern systems

Also where is the best place to get mods? I need a mod that adds switzerland as a playable nation. This is non-negotiable. If there is no such mod the game is unplayable for me

I just got my refund of Civ VII because it's obviously souless and unfinished.

I want to wash the taste of shit game out of my mouth, so suggest me a soulful and complete game (even if it has a bunch of DLCs).

I never player Grand Strategy but I'm willing to try. The only 4X game I played is Civ 6 (complete edition) and I like it a lot. Please compare the game you're suggesting with Civ 6.

Got this game on Switch (thank you RCM jig) yesterday and I don't even know how to describe how empty it feels. Like I'm pouring hours into it out of a desire to beat it but I can't say I'm having fun like with 5, 6, or Beyond Earth. There's like a billion fucking civics and technologies that just make yields increase slightly or give you a building that makes yields increase slightly, the XP for units is gone, the unique civ identities are gone, the multiple difficulties are gone, and all the Special 6 modes are gone. Who asked for this?

dang, I somehow never reached the town limit in my games before.
Didn't know 99 was the max.

How's Master of Magic (2022)?
How's Caster of Magic for Windows?

Had very little interest in the CoM mod, but the standalone has more wizards available and presumably less issues like town limits.
Shame the developer misunderstands the magic realms and makes the spell distribution less interesting.

Last I checked MoM 2022 couldn't replicate the MoM from the 90s and it was a buggy mess, but never tried it.

here's a picture of how it happens

he examines the game exe in a disassembler

how is it even possible to create something like disassembler you ask?
because when an .exe is run, another program can try to capture its code while it runs and write it down

only parts of the game logic will be revealed this way but often at least something which will then help in further discoveries
