Works for me, but sometimes I just straight up can't make vassal a scutage. The option isn't greyed out, it just doesn't appear

I am offering to host an MP game for us artists. You can say the n word.

Captain of Industry is one of the best current ones I've seen, in that you have to actually NOT expand as fast as possible because you WILL unbalance things and cause a death spiral. It's become harder to kill the colony over updates but it's still pretty easy to fuck up if you treat it wrong (since you can't just end up at a 'base state' of making eveything by hand like Factorio, for example)

>>2355245
Advances Tactics and it's successor game, Shadow Empire.

>>2355245
>>2355245
Songs of Syx does what you want. You'll start your first village by building a tiny bakery and employing 1-2 cooks - later in the game you'll need entire blocks of bakeries to bake bread and huge dedicated logistics teams to transport coal and wheat from regional depots to fuel those bakeries. And the same for wood to your carpentries and clay for your libraries.

It's not something that is immediately apparent as you start playing though, you'll need to get up to a couple thousand inhabitants

>>2367917
I'll also second Shadow Empire. If you get into a major war you'll be forced to build new road and rail networks to be able to ship out all the ammunition and recruits and supplies you need at the front. Main issue for me is that AI doesn't need to follow the logistics rules. Better enjoyed in multiplayer where everyone plays by the same rules, there's a very active discord channel for it.

>>2367917
Hoi4 and Shadow Empire merged together would be the dream game.

>>2355245
Dyson Sphere Program comes to mind when it comes to when it comes to upgrading logistics.

Robo Rumble had that where you can add rocket launchers to jumping legs for example, though I have more hate than love for that game

despite the weakass everything I love Metal Fatigue though

>Robo Rumble
I had that as a cover game (free game included on a gaming magazine) as a kid and I thought it would be Metal Fatigue but instead ...I think I didn't even play it for a week. And back then, I didn't have options to just switch to some other new game just like that.

>>2336428
nothing really beats the depth this game brought to the table. three tier map was sick and nowadays tech would make this one hell of an rts that would be second to none. with the amount of rts players out there i am really surprised this was kinda left on a shelf and not remade into a crazy AAA rts franchise. the custom gigantic robots just kick ass.

>>2367462
>three tier map was sick
Literally no one on Earth likes The Underground.

>>2367462
The tree layer map was amazing in theory, but in terms of actual gameplay I don't feel it added a whole lot. Especially the underground, as >>2367471 points out, was tedious and anti-fun. The giant mechs were the game's main draw, so having an entire layer where you can't use any mechs and you're forced to use the 3 bland tank units that each faction gets, which feels really bad.

Sky layer often felt lame to me as well, but it did enable some neat strategies, and unlike the underground at least you could put jets on your mechs so they could enter the sky layer and you're not just fucking around with dinky airplanes. The fact that flying mech parts were fragile as fuck created at least a tradeoff where you can choose to have weaker mechs that can ambush from above, or stronger mechs that can't fly. Unlike underground where there's nothing meaningful to choose except giving shit players a way to turtle up and make the game suck for everyone.

>No special cars like the dinning car or caboose

The game is about transport, retard.

I hope we get the old Sim games ability and port CS2 cities into TF3.
It isn’t happening but it could be cool.

The day-night cycle is purely cosmetic, this kinda ruins the game for me, especially in the passenger simulation. There’s really no depth if you don’t have to worry about rush hour, weekends, low demand in the early morning, etc.

>>2353574
Waste your ammunition.

All the Sudden Strike games are on sale atm, which one should I get? I could get all for 6 bucks but I don't want a Blitzkrieg 1 and Blitzkrieg 2 situation where the sequel sucks.

>>2366602
1 and 2 are good, if a bit peculiar. 3 apparently sucks ass. Don't know aboit 4.

Blitzkrieg aged like milk in my opinion, replayed it year ago, finished the German campaign and never bothered with the rest
that being said vehicle sprites are still great

>>2366640
Base Blitzkrieg is super shit, the good part is the DLC missions because they were made by another company. Try Rolling Thunder/Burning Horizon campaigns or the custom missions that also come with the pack, that's where the money is at.

>>2365819
FPBP. And no, Sengoku Rance reigns supreme, as an eroge and as a strategy game.

>>2365804
It looks like a fucking beta for Shogun 2. And that game came out 15 years ago. In case you need some frame of reference, in 15 years we went from Dune 2 to Supreme Commander. Video games are dead, and whoever thinks indies are going to save them is fucking delusional.

>>2366127
stop being such a miserable chud. game looks fine for a solo indie dev project. its not like we have gorillions of sengoku era games

>>2365804

I'm not paying 69.99 for this shit when it drops. $15 at most.

Nah, that's baby shit.

The real point is to be incredibly condescending towards your opponents.

>>2357188
Is BB3 good yet? I played it at release and it was so much worse than 1 and 2 that it was just insulting.

>>2359984
New graphics and some rule updates, but mostly it's just an excuse to sell you all the DLC teams again.

interesting(& disappointing a bit)
are the pivotal crew swap decisions like Seska/Chakotay or Tuvix actually relevant,
or is it just hardware min-maxing?

>>2363092
tuvix is an objective downgrade except for the extremely rare missions that require both neelix's and tuvok's traits but you don't want to just send both of them
only a simp would allow seska to even live let alone back into the crew

>>2351637
For weak targets it's doesn't matter but later on you eat too many torps before her bonus gets rolling. If you're starved for research build another phaser. If not, get disruptor is supposedly lot more effective at chewing through shields.

God I love that show

i really hate playing games that are set in a cinematic universe because i believe that cinematic universes should remain separate from ludomatic ones.
but i will admit that the star trek and star wars guys have made some good games

>>2365981
Try asking here >>2365890

try Advance Wars

>>2365981
Singleplayer games, obviously, They're the ones that start you off simple, gradually increasing in complexity, while competitive multiplayer is unplayable without reading guides.
RTS, city builders, tower defense, colony sims, autobattlers, tycoons and most 4X are perfectly straightforward. You only really need to avoid hardcore simulators and wargames.

My personal favorite for that was Bad North
>Normal mode is easy enough
>no manual no bullshit
>harder difficulties expect only experience from you
>little soldiers killing each other
>also on phone

Along with Rebel inc, although lack of stability is a shitty mechanic imo
>every single upgrade details what it does
>simple to get in to
>also available on phone

These are probably /vst/ games a noob can pick up and enjoy without getting bombarded by mechanics and hidden stat bullshits

Anon... Please, you are killing me here

>>2362184
There's definitely something missing with unit progression. Basically, every faction has weaker versions of every unit type they have stronger versions of, this means that you never unlock more unit types so you'll be using the same army on turn 10 as you will on turn 100 besides having higher stats.

>>2363905
It's slightly better than Rome2/Attila era system where you forgot embezzle button existed most of the time and sometimes had to spend some points to get someone married.
On the other hand it's not that much better and you are forced to interact with it more.

>>2363988
If the game was an actual full scale antiquity game maybe we'd get to see some actual progression but that's impossible when the game takes place over the span of twenty years or so.
I stand by the notion that a late bronze age to bronze age collapse to iron age game would have been the best thing they could have done with the setting. You get tech advancements, new unit types, a bigger map and sweeping changes in tactics to keep things interesting.

>>2364027
>as you advance up the tech tree, units get more and more expensive in terms of bronze
>if the world spends too long in Crisis random events can happen that convert bronze producing settlements into a different resource
>if the world enters Collapse it goes from random chance to a guarantee that bronze production will grind to a halt
>when that happens you have to ration whatever bronze you have left and then either switch to low tier units that only consume food, or tech up to be able to produce iron units, which are overall not as good as bronze units but vastly cheaper to produce
would have been so kino

>>2364027
>>2364050
that would have been cool, Attilla-esque design to the game where you have to SOMETIMES sacrifice X for Y as the game goes on.

>>2365380
>Nod had invisibility and c4
Invisibility that's only active when the commando isn't moving
>GDI had jump jets and c4
The jumpjets are hardly instant, and the commando is still vulnerable to attacks while using them

>>2365082
I prefer 2 because 4 filtered me.
