>we need an overpowered faction
>>2138663idk they have some really ball-breaking events. I gues if you start early and metagame they're strong but that goes for anybody.
>>2138671play mental omega
>>2139060CHYNA!
>>2139062>>2139060they're basically the same except china focuses less on tanks
>>2138663More like>We need to fill the fringe of the map with something
>>2138663>Biggest country on the planet with the most natural resources>Sucks ass???
>>2138672what does rts game have to do with 4x/gsg gameplay?
>>2139060He didn't mention the Ottomans
rise of the reds is shit ra2 is shit
>>2139652Most of the population is suffering from FAS.
>>2142095shut up holnigger
>>2142096>he thinks I'm a slavniggerYou're really are a subhuman race.
>>2142100>You're really a-ACKkkk
>>2142100saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar
>>2139652Look at the map retardLiterally 2/3 of it is frozen wastelands with no population
>>2139652That's why it's such a big difference between "having resources" and "using resources"
>>2142096How is shutting up gonna change the simple statistical fact that Russia has third highest rate of FAS on this planet (beaten only by Belarus and Kyrgyzstan), with every 9th citizen having it? And in relative numbers, it is an absolute juggernaut, as that's about 16 million people in a single country - more than the total population of Belarus and Kyrgyzstan combined. Granted, the number might actually dropped thanks to those same people making an excellent cannon fodder, but still, even at 15 million that's just absurd.
>>2142362where are you getting these stats, i found it impossible to get a fas breakdown by county
>>2142401WHO, pre-covid years. No new data since then, since first covid and then war made Ruskies stop publishing any kind and sort of data from their country.
>>2142362You can pick a single aspect to focus on most countries in the world calling them bad like sweden with their rape statistics, or the fact that half of Italy is owned by mafia or whatever you can pick in US. You're just a salty little chuddy whos butthurt over ruzzia for some reason
>>2139652they went wide while everyone else went tall
>>2142673>Translation: Here, let me pretend this is normal that 11% of population has FAS and how it's all just statistics, t. coping Ruskie... shouldn't you be in the trenches?Do I need to bring tuberculosis statistics? Or just random data on health that, by now, make Russia look WORSE than Nigeria, co even the old meme of "Russia is Nigeria with Slavs" is outdated. Not because you improved - Nigeria did.
>>2142812>>2142100>>2142362Go back to /k/, troon
>>2138671going all in on culture tech has huge rewards in the long term but on the short term you run the risk of getting raped and killed by the other players
>>2138663>we need a cheap collectivist faction
>>2142859>troonWhy did we stop calling people trannyIs it not as hip or cool or what
>>2138663Oh boy! Another /pol/bait thread! Because the Israel one wasn't enough!>>>/pol/uhg/>>>/pol/chug/
>>2142972Ever since "fag" was deemed to be no longer edgy enough to actually make people feel insulted, 4chan has been cycling through new buzzword insults faster and faster. I can't wait until a couple of eyars from now we'll need to suffer new Gen-α nonsense slang on a monthly basis.
>>2142859calm down Ivan
>>2139060jannies confirmed to be seething vatniggers
>>2138663I can't actually think of a single strategy game where Russia is overpowered or even particularly good. It's really only the state-funded propaganda slavjank tank games like Warthunder that make Russia apocryphally strong. In actual strategy games they're usually just a boring backwater
>>2143010Shut the fuck up, you skibidi
>>2143079ra2
>>2143079Every game made by ziggers, including that latest WARNO clone, forgot the name.
>>2143079civ V
>>2145805They are not particularly special in Civ V.The OP factions in that game are Poland and Babylon iirc.
>>2145828Double strategic resources is nothing to sneeze at
>>2146186In mental omega Russia has the game's most reliable lategame units so basically you just need to survive long enough as them and you win.
>>2145828>PolandOverrated afKorea, Arabia and Maya mogEven Germany too, the ability to not have to waste resources building an army is amazing
>>2143079>Warthunderbut russian tanks are shit, and their planes have one tenth of ammo other countries getyou could say syrian warfare but because the game is quite realistic when it comes to equipment, it goes without saying that a big country's army is more powerful than isis, random rebels, or the syrians themselves
>>2146187isn't russia is one of the weakest countries in ra2 with their unique unit only being effective against infantry and tanks but only at close range
>>2142882Pro-tip:That doesn't cover for just commie China, that's just any China, really. The only single time that culture had a semblance of individuality in it and acceptance of it, it was under Mongol rule - and Chinks are STILL seething over it, good 700 years later
>>2143079>I can't actually think of a single strategy game where Russia is overpowered or even particularly goodParadox games always had them between "strong and with great potential" to "downright broken", and it was like this since EU1, so before you were born. I think CK3 might be the only exception, because by making "Russian" culture so uniform and widespread over complete wasteland, they lag behind like shit, so any startdate after the Tribal one is a nightmare to play in the region, unless you deliberately start splitting culture.They are ironically OP as fuck in Ukrainian-made Cossacks series.They are downright BANNED in MP of RoN, since their special powers are so fucking broken.They have huge advantage in Empire TW, and are pretty much "easy mode" to play as.And this is all like the top of my head stuff.
>>2145805Nah, they are MUCH stronger in both Civ 3 and 4 (especially under Peter)
>>2146329Yes, which is probably why MOfags countered that by making them one of the strongest subfactions in the mod. Russia is just braindead in terms of strategy and any retard can dominate with them. Their only weakness is inf spam since they rely too much on tesla weapons
>>2150168>only weakness is inf spam>they rely too much on tesla weaponsOxymoron
>>2150248Russia is shit at crowd control. Tesla is great, but it doesn't jump from target to target unless the tank is a veteran unit. They don't really have any area denial weapons that deal a shitload of damage to a wide area
>>2150251website says that they still have desos and their hero unit seems to bee good at infantry killing from the videos i watched
>>2146345That's because Paradox games don't model administrative distance.
>>2146345Empire is pretty easy when you know how to play but I can't really imagine Russia being overpowered or 'easy mode' there.The easymode factions are the ones with good sea access: Spain, France, Britain. Britain especially. Controlling trade nodes gives you an overwhelming eco advantage that you can access super early with basically no investment in infrastructure (just need to upgrade your main port in europe) and since trade resource income isn't modified by taxation you can then set your taxes to the minimum and abuse the hell out of the broken wealth growth system to have infinite money by midgame.I can see Russia being strong in Napoleon where they're surrounded by allies and can just sit afk on wealth growth all game, and where their militia are absolutely busted with like 20cb, but Empire's economy is so centered around naval expansion and dominating trade resources that I just can't see Russia with neither being all that strong.
