Even though it was the best strategy game of its era, packed with innovations and surprising depth. It felt like this brilliant game existed only in my head, like an amazing imaginary friend that only I knew.
>>2503242Could've sworn it was called Heavy Metal Fatigue and I played the demo. But remember nothing.
>>2515078I think you're getting two different games mixed up.
name a better weapon than big milagro hammers and neuropa pizza cutters. I doubt you can
>>2515088>I doubt you canHammers are good but twin pizzas with steady legs are better.
>>2503242I own it, I'm not playing it right now. I'm playing FOG II, which honestly is peak. I'm in a TBS game phase, doing dominions stuff and yah know. >>2515085Never had heavy metal, but I do always think of metal marines when I think of this game

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.
>>2500542Heroes' Vow is unfortunately the best TK game in years. Though unless you're playing some 95+ strength monster, most of the duel-type combats expect you to be bringing friends, whether that's other officers, the generic bodyguards, or just go tame yourself some crocodiles or some shit. It's a lot like Taikou Risshiden in that sense, from what I remember of playing the old scuffed as hell English patch for V.There's also a few mods for RoTK portraits from when I looked into it, though none of them can replace literally every single portrait between all the OC women or other literally who-s so I haven't tried them because I know it'd clash a lot.
>>2492309Yes, it is.Kessen2 is the first one refined but the third game essentially fused itself with musou gameplay like dynasty warriors.
>>2512342Description of the game intriques me, but the character portraits/models turn me off so much. Doesn't look like they are AI-generated but they might as well be.
>>2514206The portraits are 100% AI generated, the 3D models I can believe were done by a human: they actually look pretty fucking amateurish, and the gigantic tits of all the ladies is something any censored cuck AI would be unlikely to make for them.I'll reiterate there's a few Koei RoTK-portrait replacement mods out there, you'll just have to deal with any nobody who wasn't there already sticking out, though the game lets you replace the portraits yourself too.
>>2514206>Doesn't look like they are AI-generatedThey look and they are AI generated. That's why I use ROTK portrait mod
Why can't both be the same game?The best mechanics of DoW combined with the best ones of TW.
>>2504775TOTAL war!...but not THAT kind of war, okay?
>>2504775Varus, give me back my legions
>>2504775Between things like corner camping, pike boxes, and forests making units invisible, with so much cheese and poor balance it's astonishing that people ever tried making this trash competitive.
>>2504775>Forest abuseI remember that time they came to the shocking conclusion that horse archers are OP
>>2515002>>2515027>Petulant manchildren in RTS name a more iconic comboFucking SC2 arcade is far from an isolated incident
how would you rank the wallace and gromit trilogy?what game would you like to see next?
>>2509737It would work really well, and at least the world wars are something that brits aren't exactly scared to joke about, but it's probably not something Two Point Studios would do if they seemingly didn't want to include history more generally in their museum-game.
>>2514962>It would work really welluntil they need to include a two point style holocaust memorial / interactive exhibit
I think the best way to handle history is with the usual wackiness.Like the world wars should be in the same style as Snoopy vs the Red Baron.
>>2514966Do people expect that? If you're chronicling the exploits of private Baldric and the exact movements of some general's liquor cabinet across a room, I don't think anyone is thinking about the holocaust. I don't remember Dad's Army having a holocaust episode for instance. Hell I haven't seen any exhibits of that nature in any WW2 museum I've been to. Maybe you find that in Germany and Poland but I haven't seen it in France, the UK, Norway or Denmark.
>>2514937Science theme kind of covers that. They have a plane and train.

Remember the fiasco that was R1 remaster in 2021? Well, get ready for its 2026 sequel: Shogun 2.>"The Complete Edition implies that for 15 years CA has been selling us an incomplete game." Shogun 2's Steam page and Workshop have suffered a Carthago Delenda Est. Forget about the Empire 2 and LotR overhaul mods.Meanwhile the gaming news media is simping for the "playable 50 MINOR factions [that were already in the game]" when in the now death Workshop you have entire mods that added even more factions (like China, Korea, Mongolia) and provinces.>"Now pay 40€ for the """totally niu""" edition, goy!" - CA>https://youtu.be/dsm3LysR3Wc >https://youtu.be/QBrYURVVbBs
>>2514124Then the best they could do is shut up and let LE run an investigation and arrest him>they did thoGreat, so shut up and let them run an investigation. Tying this into CA's latest gaffe is especially retarded
>>2514399>noooo don't hurt CA's feewings
>>2514630Has nothing to do with shoddy accusations of pedophilia, retard.
>>2514124>actual CP>looks inside>just anime again>there was totally real CP too but I'm going to focus on goblin rape and cat girls for two paragraphs instead
>>2514832To be fair, it's not like they could show you the CP so you can judge for yourself, but yeah. He's retarded and sperging out about anime. I seriously doubt a not particularly hidden porn chanel on a public server has actual CP on it going back years. Also of you knew about actual CP all the way back you should have reported it then and there, but they know it's some distasteful hentai at worst and nothing actually legally actionable. Not then, not now.
so, do most SRPGs devolve into spamming gimmicks where each map has its one special trick to it?*
>>2513667That (being FE) is most of my experience with the genre
>>2514310I'm sorry you had to go through that. My condolences.
>>2513498Name 3.Actually name 2 that aren't Fire Emblem slop.
>>2513498No, Fire Emblem is just a shitty franchise that does things like that.
>Wow there's no variety to these fucking maps, it's all just kill or capture>What a stupid fucking gimmick I just want to kill or capture!
Happy Chanel-o-ween boyos :)
Hopefully this spells the end for soiteks career
>>2515090Hopefully he takes the rest of these TW dramatubers along with him so the community can finally be cleansed
>>2515126the community got deranged since CA announced the creator programit's not poor quality games, the community survived empire, but rome2 + creator program killed pretty much anything. what it is today is after that
>>2515563>the community got deranged since CA announced the creator programA crusade must be called against these shilltubers
>>2514384So retards fighting each other?
What demos are you playing today, bros?
>>2509546I got bored during the tutorial. If it's doing something more advanced than homeworld 15 years later it needs to say so up front.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4805350/Imperium_of_the_Stars/Did no one else play this shit? You would think "Great Crusade Simulator" would be popular here, given there's so many Warhammerfags on 4chanThe idea is interesting, even if the game feels a little janky. The UI could use some work (specially the atrocious ship builder UI). Like every such game, the automation doesn't build as well as a micromanaging player, but this must be the only game where that's on theme, and you'll quickly find yourself with so many planets that it doesn't matter. My only true complaint is how expensive research is, but I don't know how long a normal session is, so who knows how much that's a problem
Just spent some time with the demo for this.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3204330/County_of_Fortune/It's pretty fun. Doesn't seem super deep from what I've seen so far, but I like that it's operating on a level you don't see very often in city builders, i.e. more focused on the big picture rather than min-maxing building placement and supply chain management.
>>2513757the full version releases next week*possible* buy
>>2514053I think it's just the early access release that's next week.
What are some forgotten strategy games hat only you remember?Pic related might not be too unpopular, but I find it quite surprising that it's still not on GOG or anywhere else and why there are no "retrospectives" using it to farm clicks. In fact, it's completely overshadowed by some shitty tabletop game.Maybe this game was a flop outside of France and Southern and Eastern Europe.
>>2498104It WAS SRW but ZOTE. It even had the same earlier interface.Good game tho. Picked a good game to crib off of.
Anyone played this? I vaguely remember having lots of fun for an afternoon with a school buddy who had it. It was 3rd person but had some base building/tower defense elements IIRC

>>2512385where can i download?

>>2513630t. hankshow many of the great powers got actual flavor in this mod?
>>2513854Seems like Bavaria, Hanseatic, Netherlands, Lorraine, and France all have it but idk about the others I haven't played every country.
>>2513854eh very bare bones. kinda sad because it's an interesting setting
Tempest Rising now has a third faction, the Veti, on the game with a new-released DLC today.>You can play it online and on skirmish with no need to pay>DLC is just the 11-mission campaign, which most players said its a good campaign.Having fun with it, anons?
>>2504443CnC games are dead and kinda suck to play to be completely real
The game is amazing, keeps getting QoL updates and balance is better each patch. Only sad thing is lack of new maps for PvP. Singleplayer fags are pretty loud sadly and them making this campaign took away from us getting maps. But the MP scene is somewhat alive, good players still play ladder.
>>2506297Isn't there a map editor now? Shouldn't be hard to get new ones whitelisted if they're good enough>Singleplayer fags are pretty loud sadly and them making this campaign took away from us getting mapsThe dev team wanted to do a proper RTS but also had shortcomings at launch. The campaign is nothing noteworthy to be honest, while the skirmish mode is very good. It is an MP first game and the devs knew what they were doing, but they shriveled down when they didn't hit their mark. I hope they continue to expand and support it because if done right it could be a very addictive game in teams or any mode
>>2496718I enjoyed the campaigns and I'm having fun with the Veti campaign.
>>2514227Are you having a blast though?
Yikes
>>2498322Vic2 is exactly the same. When I was like 10 I’d play Prussia and never even have to build a building because the capitalist just do it for you and I would just declare war and win against everyone and be the best in everything
>>2497986No one hates paradox more then paradox fans retard.
>>2501491>4cuck unc bragging about being an oldtroon LOCKED!
>>2497948I never understood the hate for mana. It's such a fun abstraction and rewards you rapidly. I can turn a 1/1/1 province into a 20/20/20 province in a single day and see my income grow immediately.In EU5, everything is gradual. You have to wait 30 years for anything to transition from 0% to 100%. It's not satisfying at all.
>>2509691>Delayed versus instant gratificationThis is not a... discussion, you want to have.
Someone made an AI-powered sandbox geopolitical simulator. I am presently trying to win WWI with nuclear weapons but it doesn't seem to be working.https://worldos.cc/
>>2513546wow who could have predicted that the ai powered sandbox geopolitical simulator doesn't seem to be working
>>2513595Indie devs are being infected by the AAA virus now
Oh no, this unfortunately tickles my Three Kingdoms type autism just right.
>>2513681>>2513546it runs like utter shit and it's basically broken BUT once someone makes one of these that actually works and isn't a cashcow scam it'll be like crack to me ngl
I thought this was a repeat thread of that other aislop game, but no, they all just look the same kek
