I don't like how one has god-view and telepathy in most strategy games (like being able to tell exactly how a battle is going, being able to see the exact strength of units, being able to give orders that are executed immediately)any games where you can't micro that much but have to rely on preset plans being executed by the AI?(ideally one would get "status updates" and be able to send orders every X-hours)
>>1908274>any games where you can't micro that much but have to rely on preset plans being executed by the AI?From my experienceFull Spectrum WarriorYou order (not control) a sergeant of a squad, or his second-in-command should he be wounded. The commands themselves are performed by the squad. You got 2 squads in most missions (exceptionally having command of a third one)Rebel Inc.You give a general order to armed forces and they make the best of it depending on terrain. Very basic. Same for economy, you give order for initiatives and your middle management/officials take care of rest. More orders you pass, more corruption grows and middle management start affecting your reputation which is needed to win each scenario. Also available on phones.>(ideally one would get "status updates" and be able to send orders every X-hours)Literally Radio Commander, came out recently. Played it, was alright. Not bad, not great.Hopefully other most strategic anons can contribute.
>>1908286> Literally Radio Commanderthought about this (but didn't it come out like 5 years ago?) and I liked that they have stuff like not knowing wether units are still alive or not but overall it felt like a visual novel + the voice acting was ass
>>1908295>(but didn't it come out like 5 years ago?I remember it was in early access for some time which pushed me away from it but I am not above admitting that I am wrong and timeline got fucked up.
>>1908302it appears that the OG game is older but they are about to release a Jap sequel (?)store.steampowered.com/app/1621910/Radio_Commander_Pacific_Campaign/(will download the demo now)
>>1908274are you me from the future?
>>1908295Game is fine. It feels like playing an rts by telling another player what to do
>>1908274Combat mission. You only have what intel that can be relayed
What's that Soviet-style epilepsy spaceship game? As far as I know, you're operating on very limited information in it.
>>1908274Scourge of War: Waterloo
>>1908274>(ideally one would get "status updates" and be able to send orders every X-hours)Maybe you'd like Flashpoint Campaigns>>1908286>Radio CommanderThere was also a game called Radio General. I haven't played either but they sound interesting.
'strategy games' as a genre jumped the shark
>>1909613>'strategy games' as a board jumped the sharkFTFY
>>1908274Dominions 6, telling the strength of the enemy requires intensive scouting and even then you don't really have the full amount of information.You pre-script your armies then they fight automatically. Multiplayer is where the real fun is had and people typically submit turns once or twice a day.
>>1908274Legion Gold, kind of.
>>1914653A shame that it looks like complete ass
>>1914653>people typically submit turns once or twice a dayThat doesn't sound fun
>>1929307You've got servers that play games all in one go (usually called Blitz games), but that's a pretty hefty investment because depending on the number of players these games can last 3-5 hours.
>>1928168Tourists like you need to leave
>>1929449Sorry but I'm immune to the buzzword of the month
>>1929456You are a graphics whore tourist who onions faces at le amazing gwaphics of Warhammer TW. You are the rot consuming video games from within. It is your fault that all games are now designed like mobile games.The tree of good vidya must be watered by the blood of shitty companies and tourists.
>>1929463>more buzzwordsI accept your concession
>>1929456Sprites on basic 3d environments is a timeless aesthetic and is both more legible and pleasing to look at than most modern games. ESPECIALLY modern TW games, which have good modelling/animation work per individual unit but look like muddy, vaseline-smeared messes as soon as you're not trying to peer down a skaven's nose or something.
>>1929464>le buzzwords>le consession xxdddxdXdThanks for proving me right, your kind is only able to corrupt what better men have made.
>>1929471Sure. M:TW is a case in point—still looks fine. Unlike the diarrhea to the right.
>>1929477That's why you had to cherry pick a screenshot where units were getting buffed while in a snow biome?
>>1929481>summon low-resolution douchebagsNice buff
>>1929490Wow, it's almost like the game on the right is made by 2 people. It'd be a shame if the game on the right also had thousands of different unit types too because that would completely ruin your retardation. Only question is, are you born retarded or are you just pretending?
>>1929492Oh is that so, was the game really made only by some lone basket-weaver from the Mongolian desert? Hold on let me check the image again in that case—nope it still looks like shit
>>1929495It looks fine you're just a baby
>>1929499It just doesn't, sorry. Ask the lazy fuck devs to upgrade the sprites sometime, random kid with a tablet comes up with better placeholder art for his clickbait mobile game nowadays
>>1929502Did you miss the part where there are thousands of different units? Upgrading the sprites so some whiny zoomer doesn't piss their pants not a project worth pulling off, the devs have a real job basket weaving as well so "upgrading sprites" would take a few years and the devs wouldn't be able to work on new features.
>>1929779The only new features they need are new sprites to be honest. 80% are just minor recolors of each other maybe holding a shield or a spear instead of a sword or axe, and the other 20% are poorly upscaled clipart.
>>1929779>t. lazy fuck dev

>>1929463>"I want my games to look bearable within the style it's going for, here's an example of a 20+ year old game that does an early 3D style a lot better, it'd be fine if it looked like that.">"Wow graphics whore much?"Worst post of the year so far, congratulations on being a faggot.
>>1930033>I want every single sprite in a game with thousands of different sprites to be remade>Here is a game made by a studio of full time workers, this is totally an appropriate comparison
