Games explicibly designed to make player feel as if someone pissed in their coffee in the morning.
>>1931277this looks like jankkino, i'll probably try it.based on the trailers, the austere audio and the vibe remind me of space hulk (2013, not the latter sovlless one)
But I don't drink coffee.
>>1914752You absolutely can replace high level brothers. The average level 11 day 1 shitter is about equivalent to a decent level 1 late game background.There's a bunch of guides explicitly aimed towards new players, I'd recommend https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2549815780
>>1931953Vanilla JA2 is very fair and not excessively challenging in straight fights, and downright trivial if you start abusing the dumb enemy AI.
>>1932814tell me how fast to replace high level(11+) brother when max level you can hire is 5 or 6and for late game battles you really want optimized and leveled troops
What happened with the latest Protectors update? Is it so bad that the thread had to die here as well?
What's a good low effort race? Tried Knight but their non-cav units are just worthless, so I always have to wait for a cav army.
>>1936155Orc and Plague have probably the strongest early game. Maybe Minotaurs too.
>>1936155You can rush dragon knights with the high elves. I've been doing it since the first time I bought the game years ago and works well enough even on the mod, fast decently tanky and powerful. Probably have better elemental resistances than the knight faction do and there's a lot of nice high elven upgrades you can research to make them competitive even in late game.(Ps. For those that play the mod what's your favorite unit ability? There's some busted ones that bribe units to change sides but I usually focus on the unit summoning ones or don't bother research them at all.)
>>1901232>This is like the slowest board on 4chanI guess you've never been to any of the actual niche boards like /po/ which still have active threads from 2023.

Is Civ 5 or Civ 6 the better game and why? Bonus points if you can do it without mentioning the art style or other superficial nonsense like that.
>>1928930tl dr?
>>1928116Civ 5 too, the map looks like it's smeared in vaseline. The only good looking Civs are 2 and CivCol
>>1921266>I could never stomach the empty spacesThey represent the regions you can immediately control and put to use, not all the land you claim for yourself.
>>1912278Personally I'd say 5 is better because for every step forward 6 takes there's another feature that makes the game much more annoying to play. There's significantly more information to memorize and the way you have to bend your play around innovations naturally decreases how much the map will influence the direction you'll take your game.
>>1913099Civ4 tries to model the whole progression of civilization by food surplus leading to specialization of labor. Also the function of most units and buildings is pretty simple and tied to their historical purpose, not some gameplay or balance function. It's still basically a board game but it's more than can be said for 6
Since a new game is out of the question, what do you think of AWBW?
>>1912478It's shit
>>1924970Remember that one time a big FFA wasn't solved on day 3 because half the players timed out? I sure don't.
Remember playing this game as a child, I wish I could develop at least a spiritual sucessor.However, it is not possible since Nintendo would crucify me in a courtroom if I tried.
>>1933437>However, it is not possible since Nintendo would crucify me in a courtroom if I tried.Really depends on where you live or how much money you have. Hell if anything you could probably level and anti-trust lawsuit at them.
>>1933437Neither Tiny Metal nor Wargroove nor Warside have been sued out of existence, so I'm sure you'd be fine if you tried. Which you won't, since you're already looking for excuses not to.
Just started playing this because I got a Steam Deck. I thought it might have been a remake of a PS2 game because it has that feeling to it, but turns out it released in 2020. It's awesome so far and reminds me of the PS2 era ROTK games with a bit of Fire Emblem and Pokemon in there. The art is great as well. Did it get much of a following when it released or did it just fly under the radar?
>>1935915old design was much simpler but also much more pleasant than the remake one that is over deigned and full of special snowflakes characters
>>1936000That's anime for you.
>>1936205Where did everything go so right?
>>1906803Imagine a game with HoMM3 gameplay and Brigandine artstyle
>>1936389I would prefer otherwisea HoMM3 artstyle and Brigandine gameplay
1.0 - Multiplayer Co-op dropping in a few hours, gang.
>>1936337gamo
>>1936341Age of Darkness: Final Stand. I know, the title leaves a lot to be desired.It's They Are Billions, but fantasy instead.
>>1936356Is it any good?
>>1936366Yeah, I think it's fun but I only played it twice during early access. Finished it both times too, or rather I won the survival maps. I've not touched the campaign yet. I didn't want to burn out on early access and it's reaching 1.0 in two hours I believe.Like I said, it's TAB but fantasy. Fun, intense and interesting. I hope MP co-op breathes further life into it.

>>1925156My lack of African conquests is down to 2 reasons really.1. Northwest Africa has been stable and safe (outside of rebellions) for most of the game so far. The Mauri are long-time trade partners at this point, and that’s money whose source doesn’t contribute to my corruption score, which is a precious commodity for a WRE playthrough. Conquering them outright has the capacity to actually make me lose more money than I would gain, at least until I get my corruption lowered in the late game. If the African factions ever attacked me I would certainly send the legions over to knock them out, but so long as they remain chill I would prefer to save that money and manpower for more immediate concerns.Which brings me to reason number 2: My legions are too busy.The way I play this game, I generally prefer to get two stacks together for a dedicated offensive unless I either don’t have the time or nearby manpower to do so or if I have a particularly easy opportunity that I’m confident one army can do without getting too bloodied in the process (Sextus and the VI Legion are a long-term example of the former). Presently I have one partial-strength legion in Africa, one which I certainly could not count on to conquer a desert city outright. Thus I would need another legion to accompany them. And damn near every other legion has been busy either stomping rebels, fighting off Barbarians, or even just slowing the bleeding of public order in key provinces via occupation. Even my African legion has been busy with the rebels and occupation. I simply haven’t had the free hand I would need to deal with that until possibly now. But I’m still not confident my economy would survive the hit that would come with such expansion.
Anyone here plays as the Huns to give any tips? Holy shit it's insufferable how the ai just chases you and your economy can't sustain the most basic units like the Hunnic Horse Archer upgradeI can win battles but the campaign gamplay is just non stop ballbusting
>>1926088A few:1) Have an economy based horde. One that stays behind the chaos you've caused to settle in the ruins and have mostly the pastures yurts, yurts builders and the wagons (food + wine) make the bulk of your economy. They should have like 6-8 units for maintenance and then you build your economy out of those buildings. Late game, you might need a second one for passive income but by then, you'd be rich from sacking and enslaving (vassal) other nations.2)Don't declare war on nations, have them pay you to not attack them. Unless they are oppurtunists, they won't attack you as long as you don't attack them. And then, you can repeat the process, just like in history.3) Use your agents, a lot. You need to rely heavily on scouts to save you from time to time from repeated attacks. Have them halt armies save you trouble when you want a turn to build up your forces while also embedding in your armies for more distance to travel in the early game. Get your heroes embedded to train more units and give passive experience to units. Priest are less useful here, either as a scout or embedded in your economy horde if they're not happy.

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/developer-diary/tinto-talks-45-8th-of-january-2025.1725373/Welcome to another Tinto Talks! Happy Wednesday where we talk about our super-secret game with the codename Project Caesar, asking you for feedback!Today we’ll go into the details of how terrain works in the game. To iterate from the Map-Tinto-Talks from almost a year ago, each location has three different attributes instead of a single one as previous games had. This creates more variation and allows us more granular control over game play.Each location has a climate, a topography and a vegetation set. Sea locations do not have vegetation though.
>>1936489Yes, they can.
>Didn't make a new thread for the dev diaryAlright see you next Wednesday then, the thread will be dead until then

Post games set during the 18th-19th century, preferably featuring goyim in cool European uniforms in formations.
>>1934790I have a soft spot for ETW because of the setting but it's a bit dogshit mechanically, shame it was too hardcoded to fix or port it to Napoopan's improved engine.
>>1931956Cossacks 3 made a lot of money, it even got a scottish DLC
>>1934757This is actually pretty good. No idea why they didn't just have flag bearers in C3. I really hope they remake C2 though, it's much more engaging.
>>1930458I loved this game as a kid but I could only play the campaign mode since I suck at RTS. The resource management and basebuilding and recruitment in the normal RTS game mode seemed brutally hard compared to stuff like Rise of Nations and Stronghold Crusader that I was used to.
>>1936161>No idea why they didn't just have flag bearers in C3.That's because C3 mechanically is just a straight port of 1. They fixed the most egregious early 2000s-isms later (the way shot power upgrades worked for example), and even though they added some new exclusive content (Scotland), it still doesn't have some of the content C1 used to have (18th century ships). So, since C1 didn't have flag bearers for formations, C3 doesn't either. C2 was more grognardy if you think about it, but since it didn't sell as well when the studio was revived they just went back to what brought them success the first time.
Official Fuck John Relic Coh 3 Thread.
i pm'd john about one of the skins being bugged but he never fixed it

In most games when India is represented it is used for Mughals but Mughals are not Indian.In Civilization the Indian Civilization builds Mughal fort but Mughals are not Indian.While Age Of Empires 2 corrected their Indian to represent true India in Age Of Empires 4 India is the Delhi Sultanate which is not Indian is Iranian.Why is Indian history erased when there are many much more powerful and impressive Indian empire?
>>1854694because since the time of the Mauryans the whiteoids fucked too many of the dirty disgusting browns and civilization collapsed.
>>1929141That's a joke lad
>>1929164Love of tasteless but extremely expensive display is a trait of all of the darker races.

With the Vori Elves being added, what's next for a new possible faction? I haven't played the RPG series or the other spinoffs much so I don't know about lore.For terrains, I think a Savannah would look gorgeous and add some yellow to the map. Jungle or Tundra terrain could look good too
>>1934920Vore Elves. They eat me forever
>>1934920Cannibals of Bootleg Bay from MM6.

I just love watching numbers go up, I have so much bread and I'm living the life (I could have more bread though).

>>1930996I could use more bread..
>>1930996Have you tried Anno? It's basically optimization autism.

I recommend Songs of Syx.
Why did people hate heroes IV when it originally came out? Was it because it's ugly and it's not heroes III?
Why are spells in 3 all "complete garbage, waste of a guild slot" or "invalidates playing as a magic hero" or "you lose if you don't get this"
>>1935370only town portal is like this. Honestly the game would be better without it. Fly is enough of a cheat code
