Strategy games with this feel?
>>2147834why is the underwater gymnasium so deep
>>2147837You gotta hydrostatic pressuremaxx bro
>>2147834Xcom TFTD
>>2147834need to construct mess hall, kitchen and power generator before continuing
>>2147834Why don't we have more basebuilding kino games?
>>2147834Where's my boy Saddam? Also, Evil Genius.
>>2147834I was just playing the Troubleshooter mission where you raid the underground bunker in use by the cultists
>>2147873One of my least favorite missions in the game>nothing but narrow corridors>shitloads of drones>probably end up having to double back at some point because you missed a sideroom somewhere
>>2147843this is the only one i can think of
>>2147846And a toilet/shower block!
>>2147864Seconding Evil Genius. NOT Evil Genius 2, that was pure and complete trash.

>>2147834why does the lab connect directly to the "underwater' equipment room

>>2147834>no airlock at the bottom of the stairsliterally dropped. you deserve to drown.
>>2149806the airlock is at the top of the stairs, retard. you can even see the tanks.
>>21478597yo me would have obsessed over this picture for weeksluckily my pineal gland has been sufficiently calcified over the last two decades
>>2150073today i just appreciate the workmanship, which would've gone completely over my head as a kid

>>2150072this is exogate initiative, i played the demo on a steamfest and it was an ok stargate-themed evil genius clone. one of those games to pick up on steep discount or in a bundle.
>>2147834>dedicating about 40% of your uber-expensive underwater underground laboratory to a fucking conference room>TWO gyms but no mess hall>have to walk through the communications area to get to anything elseShite tier. The only thing that has an actual productive function is the lab, which is tiny, and presumably has no advantages over a normal fucking lab that you'd build anywhere else, considering it's completely contained within this structure. I'm mad.
>>2150073It's ai, I think, that's why it's not interesting, there's no logic behind the picture
>>2150072damn that is ugly on every level
>>2150560it's older than you are
>>2150560dumb zoomer
>>2150549Okay, I will pirate it.
>>2150560never post again, retard.
>>2150552It's where you perform dubious experiments away from prying eyes. Ideally it would be more like 90% lab though.
>>2150560you already know this, but you're a retard
>No Space ColonyFucking zoomers get out of my board. You don't deserve to breathe the same air as I do.
And if what you want is just the underwater setting, you can't go wrong with Submarine Titans.
>>2150549>>2150072Oh boy exogate.Played through it just before it came out of early access.Won with an army of third worlders with shit stats who would work for pennies and a few high paid specialists.Gate defense has the standard flaw that any hostile force who wants in has to advance through a single bottleneck you can fill with sentryguns.Had some fun but don't really plan on playing it again.
>>2150332I’ve been thinking about giving this a try
>>2151639i liked the idea of this game more than the actual game. kind of mid and got messy and frustrating in the lategame. after finishing the management part of the campaign i dropped it early in the military part
>>2152615Was fun. My biggest issue is how you can't auto tag hostiles when they reach certain rooms.>Marines enter base and start shooting people.>Guards and turrets ignore them because you didn't mark the group for death.
>>2151640yes you can, it's a dogshit game. There's a reason nobody ever heard of it, retard
>>2151640this is not the same feel, you're just plopping down buildings on the seafloor instead of making a self-contained secret lair
>>2147864>>2148256>>2150332Just tried this, it was quite possibly the worst piece of trash I've ever seen. Zero information on how to play the game, just a bunch of buttons with no tooltips or description. Took me 20 minutes to even figure out what I was supposed to be doing then another 10 to figure out how to do it then another 5 of failing to build even a single bit of anything because everything was inexplicably red and unbuildable when I placed it, then uninstall. Kill yourselves for suggesting this utter trash. I've literally never played a worse game.
>>2149801I kinda wanna to see a modern dwarf fortress where you build a PMC base, and instead of building workshops making swords, bows, and siege engines. You are making guns and tanks instead.
>>2153415Isn't that just rimworld?
>>2153436rimworld is trash, stop bringing it up like it's relevant in this thread. No z levels = no play.
>>2151639got to agree with>>2152621Great idea, so-so execution.
>>2147834Barotrauma-esque base builder would be kinothere was a base building indie game on bottom of the sea that came out few years back but I recall it didn't have good reviews, can't remember the name sadly
>>2153410>Translation: I'm a zoomer-consumer and I didn't read the manual, REEEE!
>>2153575Z levels exist solely to trick dumb yokels like you that the game is deep strategic stuff, and not just micro hell
>>2153605Aquatico or Surviving the Abyss? The latter is just dead sadly due to not selling enough.
>>2157000Nvm on that last bit, apparently they're bringing it back though the last update was in July.
>>2157000>Surviving the Abyssthat's it
>>2147843Cool it with the antisemitic remarks
>>2157003wtffirst Surviving Mars and now this?next you're gonna tell me they're rebooting Surviving the Aftermath
>>2147834>Guest roomNigga you at the bottom of the ocean. Ain't nobody gonna visit except the IRS.
>>2158016>Ain't nobody gonna visit except the IRS.Which is why the guest room locks from the outside
>>2153605Barotrauma is adding base building next major patch, I think.
is this the best self sustainable build?>make crossbows for selling >beer and religion, no food>positive fear factor (maybe even +5)for the army use whatever you want but I love slingers
>>2158920well I'm stupidthat was supposed to go to the stronghold crusader thread
>>2158920>>2158924this is your brain on RTS
>>2153410I played this game when I was 12 years old broAre you retarded?
>>2153410There are in game video tutorials. You are a retard.
Need another dungeon keeper successor.War for the overworld is good but I've been playing it for years and I crave novelty like the dumb fucking cattle I am.
>>2159920KeeperRL
>>2153410Kek you're fucking retarded.
Last time i tried to play Evil Genius on Win10 the game shat itself so hard i could barely go 5 minutes without a CTD and there was stuttering the whole way throughIs it any better on Win11..
>>2160402I remember having something similar years ago when I picked it up againThere was a fix for it
>>2153410Total zoomer death.
>>2153605That gun in the top right is horrible. The entire pillar would have to be replaced frequently.
I wonder if there could be a game that simulates all the nasty stuff in fighting underground: No natural light. No radios without using either telephone cable or a chain of people repeating the signals. Sometimes having to pass tight spaces crawling with just pistol and a flash light, no body armour or a helmet. Barrels and tubes with explosive gases. Explosions getting trapped within the tunnels. Having to go around with gas mask or a fully kitted respiratory system. Having to carry ballistic shields. Recon being a nightmare without drones.
>>2150560>he doesn't knowI understand modern star wars is incredibly gay, but I was born after the height of the OT and still really liked things like this.
>>2147834ive played minecraft like a base building rts before
>>2163497THE ONE WITH THE THERMALS LOOKS. THE ONE WITH THE BATTERIES FOLLOWS. WHEN THE ONE WITH THE THERMALS IS KILLED, THE ONE WITH THE BATTERIES, PICKS UP THE THERMALS AND LOOKS.
>>2163497brbmaking an underground warfare game
>>2165001how's progress?demo when?
>>2165478Sorry, it's already abandonware
>>2165620based lemmy
>>2163497>>2165001not a strategy game but deep rock galactic sorta simulates underground warfare, at least the part about no natural light and there can be pretty cramped tunnels that you have to fight in (and may've dug yourself).would an ideal underground warfare game be in a more grounded (heh) setting with humans and modern tech or should it feature dwarves and more fantastical environments?

>>2151639I fucking despise how every space colony game is a cartoony mobile shit..Ffs give me quasi realism of something like Project Eagle, not this fucking cartoony sims shit.
I could have sworn there were multiple sadaams in this thread
>>2168076they're hidden by the rubble
>>2163547how? mods?
