>>2315916They're still going. Apparently had some breakthrough that now allows them to churn out work much faster.
>>2335328>Apparently had some breakthrough that now allows them to churn out work much faster.They are using AI.
>>2335339Probably. Don't care, really.
>>2328878unofficalhereoes3wiki has the page for cut-concepts. You can now toggle vanilla/mod content. https://heroes.thelazy.net/index.php/Abandoned_Town_Concepts_(HotA)

>CA promises to revisit old titles to fix them, again>Shogun 2 / Rome 1 remaster drama all over again>and more bad, cringe thingshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9asiq729RhI
>>2331744>it currently is thoughnot him but not too much. some good mods ported over and i imagine the spotlight on RR will be better once RIS releases their roman update but certainly not quite the porting of every single mod like what was envisioned.
>>2310941Your video has an AI written script mate.
>>2314496is threre a mod for it?
>>2310941They want to break mods so they can force us to play their Trademarked, shittier versions of these Total War games that are Corpo Approved. It's about profits. There's nothing to, "fix," in these old games. Modders have already, "fixed," anything that was a bug which patches at the time missed.It's a power grab, simple as. It should be resisted with all our might, even if it means never giving CA another dime ever again.
>>2336009>even if it means never giving CA another dime ever again.Me, after hating Empire
The Steam page dropped... Would /vst/ play it?
>>2332280This but make all the pieces futa except the king is a femboy
I just don't care about chess. Not even the cutest shota could get me to play it.
>>2333802i suggest watching grand master ben finegold on youtube. he has a series 'improve your chess' which gives many tips about games and life in generalhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk8DZSbEwxcthe biggest way to improve your chess is to not blunder. if a person could simply not blunder they would be pretty good at chess, grand master level even.all other strategy and tricks are only applicable on the level of people who dont blunder playing against other people who dont blunder.i dont know about you, but i blunder all the time, my entire life is a series of blunders.focusing on not blundering then is, realistically, all i'' ever have to worry about

>>2332256I recently asked on the Discord about this and I was not told that. I was told it was more complex, not necessarily better.
>AI slop
>>2335595Blud has never played video games...
>>2319803>fantasyshitI'll pass.
>>2320211so what mid do you prefer? People like their licensed mainstream slop, and the mainstream slop license holders don't deliver their own games or even make them. So people have to do it themselves and often better. I don't see any issue with this, other than the usual /v/ attitude of not liking anything popular, which defeats the purpose of making mods. They are very rarely solo jobs
>never been surpassed
>>2319623I played it way back in 2008 and really loved the hell out of it. But like another anon said, its bloated and janky. I played the death cultists and just destroying the world and spreading blight. Always afraid to go back and try it since it probably won't hold up well to the passage of time. The creator tried to make a stand alone game a decade ago, but it didn't have the same feel. It was Fallen Enchantress
>>2331345Keep on coping fantasiggerI'll keep on enslaving the heebs
>>2319623>dev gets infinite praise for making a mod for a popular game>gets hired to make an actual game>it's garbageIt's funny how this happened more than once.
>>2319623>>2333088He is lead design of Endless Legend 2 now
>>2331216i hadn't heard of this one so i tried it and it's interesting. i'm not sure if the starting seeds are balanced, seems like you get fucked if you start anywhere near a jungle.
>>2333049A part of me wanted Norio to succeed, I still don't know much about Libra's tragedy (not unless the devs include a flashback campaign just like the Yuriko campaign in RA3 Uprising) where I see her depicted being constantly bullied, especially by her teacher and creators, just like my status screen manhwas - "SHE was SUFFERING from being BULLIED and HEAVILY EXPERIMENTED, then Libra awakens OP psionic ability and shows the Allies and Foehn what she's got!!!"
>>2332477Don't care, anybody who keeps enabling the anti-RotR schizo is just as retarded as him.
>>2321988Kinda surprised with art like this, but the humor's there, suspension of disbelief sustained because thinking mo came after ra3 and having the precedent of a psionic-powered girl as a super unit inspired libra and yunru, unless there are other inspirations?>>2333542>Jose Arcadio MoralesNow I wonder why the modders make him also target aerial units (not the ones that are at the airfield or airstrip) but that would be cool.
>>2333542 You would stop posting about something you like because a schizo latched on to it?What a bitch you are, I bet you pull over when someone's tailgating you.
>>2329689>Generals building styleTried it out, I liked how they improved upon that unit builder system by allowing for multiple builder units to interact with the construction site to build it marginally faster than the other construction styles. The Japanese got those one-time nanocores and those are like the improved versions of the Red Alert-Tiberium Wars building style.
I like to think it wasn't just the anarchists that destroyed the empire. There used to be a mention of an unknown thread and it being aliens but it would be really lame if it actually was. Part of the appeal of rimworld is that earth was the singular origin point of life in the universe and so it'd make more sense they fought a war against an archotech, possibly Horax, and lost
>>2326923tried a fantasy/medieval playthrough once and it's comfy and kino as fuckthe slavs were right
Im going to upload a screenshot but i feel i did something so deranged in a gameI installed altered carbon, i put a neural stack on a (male) 3 month old toddler because his leg was shot off in friendly fire, i was going to transfer this stack into a sleeve and i had already built the thing to make one but then i got an event for a psychic storm and two archons spawned and got immediately gunned down by my ships, and one of the archons (female) didn't die but was incapacitated and so i just ripped the cortical stack from the toddler and put it in the archon.So i basically made tranny adam warlock
>>2329508>by my ships*By my ship's uranium slug turretI made a little platform protuding out of my ship and covered in turrets to shoot tribals to kidnapThe colony is led by a sanguophage with two lobotomized elderly women without legs on a blood sucking sarcophagus, we regularly mince up tribals to make chemfuel or food, i wiped out two tribal factions in search of both organs and sleeves for the dead colonists to transfer their cortical stacks to

>>2326653this nigga wearin heelies
>Early access with "full game" starts>no threadsWhat gives?
>>2336340I think the reason the RA split up is because zama has decided to collaborate with the TCR, at least this is the impression i got from in mission chatter from them.
>>2336427Walkers see 1 square farther than vehicles and have the same armor on all sides
I have some questions about the game:1. Can squad leaders die during missions?2. If you pick them from a random pool, can you re-roll?3. Do they have voicelines and if so how annoying are they?
>>2338528>1. Can squad leaders die during missions?If they get rekt and nobody reaches them before they bleed out, yes.>2. Not to my knowledge. You get to pick from a pool for your starting four.>3. Yes. I like everyone I've tried so far, personally.
>>2336560Overload them and keep blasting. I like the hammer rifle (10 range) but its rare. Also you pretty much need a vehicle. Scout them out and blast.Also ATGM can absolutely fuck up gun crawlers but vehicles can absorb their fire. You're gonna find the skirmishers to be the real pain in the ass. 3 man 50cal sniper squads that hit and run

>>2334689rejected and removed during playtests
>>2334788>smartphonesHow is that connected to AI?>LLG ????
>>2334788Retarded pseud post
>>2333502Player gets a damage boost on easy and normal. Nexus being able to see the entire map is kinda justified given its nature.
>>2335335i meant how nexus would steal your unitsand at the end how your inputs would just remap. repeatedly.
Love this game like you wouldn’t believe.m, minus the meh land combat. Any games similar to it without the Star Wars theme?
>>2330106>without space battlesWow. So excited.
>>2330103Steam won't accept my CD key and I refuse to re-buy a game I already own so I guess I'm stuck with vanilla EAW
>>2330103The closest thing would be Battlefleet Gothic Armada (II)
>>2330103I too like the space battle more. The land combat feels more of a grind even though you can cycle your units easier than ships in space because you're stuck passively fighting constant attacks.I recommend getting a large amount of ground troops with anti-vehicle supports, endure the first assault in your landing zone and then push. (Get some AAA in reserve in case of flyers but those are pretty rare.)
>>2330106>no space battleswhy does CA have to use every new TW release to prove that they got even more retarded than they already were
Damn. I love this "Game"
i really liked the setting and aesthetic of the game, but was a bit disappointed that urban combat was limited to a one-trick infantry ambush. Like if there were some more plazas or roads with for a bit of push and shove, with more degrees of ambush, hiding tanks from aerial scouting and the sortBut, then again, the game is very big on momentum, wheras urban combat is such a slog, and so it wouldn't really line up with the expectations. Still, there aren't any benefits to controlling a city, not even a tiny supply trickle, that could help outI wish there was a good observer mode to just watch the battles unfold, it's quite comfy. Sucks that legal keys are $250
>>2331405People wanted to get 2nd Supreme CommanderThey've got CoH with a tactical layer to it.So they threw a temper tantrum and review-bombed it.Then what >>2329302 said happened and the MP got deserted.
>>2333259>supply trickle from citiesneat idea, like $1 every 15 seconds from each city
>>2329295I remember playing it on my XBOX, it was quite neat. But sad there's very few copies now.
>>2333259>city with 4 plazas, 1 in the middle with a super-sized depot and 3 plazas controlling the access roadsslapping a few of these on some of the bigger maps would solve that. Sadly i don't think it's possible to mod in new maps
A genre is a framework for variationIt's in a good state when focusing on explorationIt's in a bad state when focusing on pattern matching and nostalgia maximisingAre strategy genre fans generally "anti-genre"? The most popular talking points seem to be against deviation, e.g.>that's not a REAL strategy game>this doesn't feel like AoE2/Starcraft/Civ at all>I can't believe they introduced [new mechanic]
The most uninteresting threads are those that tilt at some imagined group of people about some vague subject.
>>2334720Just about every new strategy release is criticised for any significant changesV3 army systemCiv 7 civ changingAoE4 faction designYou're either feigning ignorance or are new if you have no experience with this
>>2334719NopeUnverifiedUnsupportedFalse
>>2334728Those are all downgrades, the formula was perfected so well two decades ago that any venturing away from the formula has yielded almost entirely failures.
>>2334719>Are strategy genre fans generally "anti-genre"?just the oldfag puriststhe roUGeliTe enjoyer gladly welcomes new ideas that make him make number go up in a fun and novel way
>see a lot of CK2 videos in YT>looks like a cool RPG / Grand-strategy SANDBOX game, it's also FREE>got it, play it, pretty boring, where the RPG? where the strategy? where the sandbox?>get the DLCs, just reskinned / renamed vanilla mechanics that make things into something unnecessarily overcomplicate for the sake of it, makes you waste more time while trying to trick into thinking the game is more deep when it's not >"ANON official CK2 is boring perse, you MUST play OVERHAUL MODS!">get them (AGOT, Warhammer, Warcraft, Faerun, HIP, WTWSMS, etc.), all were boring>where the RPG? where the strategy? where the sandbox?>also have to play it in x4 speed to finally see somthing happening, get PTSD from the constant notification spam (I wish there was a mod that get rid off that) >check Steam: all BLUE REVIEWS, check any forum: constant praising>"what am I doing wrong? am I so dumb that I can't enjoy RPG-GS games?"
>>2324362>Go with tribal Stettin start>Build up Pomerania as merchant republic>Dominate Baltic and Norf Sea>Be the new Hansa, 200 years ahead of schedule>Have fun playing kingmaker all around my zone of influence, while building domain and ducal buildings in the three duchies I hogHow fucking hard it is to come up with such thing for you? Are you by chance autistic?
>>2324362Unrelated, but I have been wondering why this franchise is so disinterested in marriage.You'd think there would be courting, negotiations for dowry, etc, but none. There is not even a virgin trait to increase marriage value.
It’s only fun when you play as a pagan and just plunder and rape so much that your bastard dynasty has tainted every bloodline in Europe. Then when you get tired of playing Vikings for the dozenth time move on to Rimworld and enslave/dominate weaklings there.
>>2324362>"what am I doing wrong?you have a penis.cuck king is not a game for penis havers.the rpg part you have all wrong. it's not an rpg like diablo seres, but more like sims.and the strategy is there, but is as much male strategy (conquer world through sword), but female strategy (mate your way to supremacy).so, to enjoy the game, you either get an operation, or embrace the inner cuck.
>>2334101You can easily conquer large swathes of the world in a single character's lifetime
>half the mods posted in these threads are just teasers>they'll never be released>some of the dev teams have expressly stated this>they still get postedwhy.previous: >>2271833
>>2330785No. In fact, you will actually improve the game this wayBut you can also just pirate all the dlcs at cs rin ru
My mod achievements / awards reset every session. Why / what can I do about it? Not had a reason to care before the recent tfr update.
God the TFR focus pics are so good. I want a 4k version of this, I want it as a wallpaper (without the text).
>>2325842I remember when he was the edgiest one and paradox used to ban him from cons. All those videos are long deleted now
>>2334925>edgiestFor reddit standards.
Do people still play thisI recall this game had threads on /vst/
damn this board is kill af
no, dingusand there's already a thread for it>>2316222
well that thread's archived nowrecently I was really low and felt like coming back to the bog that is LoL, but as soon as I logged in i saw that Kast, Vipsanius and all that other scum that killed the game are still active in its ruinsif anyone found something to replace the ingerland-shaped void in their heart, please share the title
>>2330517No shit they're still around if their enemies fucked off when the times got tough. Don't be a pussy, come back and be better than them. Are you going to let them win?There are Ingerbros still around, you just gotta look.
