Should I invade Southern Italy?
Why are you people like this?
How old were you when you realized that “med posters” are nafri North African shitskins trying to enter the aryan master race which both Mediterranean Europeans and north Europeans belong to. (All Europeans). It’s a pathetic attempt at trying to be white and an even more pathetic attempt at dividing Europeans/aryans
>thread about italy>devolves into nord vs med autismevery fucking time
>>868405was really hoping it would devolve into glorious med waifu posting
>>868423is this a refugee
Less than 2000 active players from 17000 at launch, what the fuck happened?
>>864677is it possible to mod culture upgrades, put your own triggers and effects on them?
>>866795and why is that?
>>867634Because Indo-European languages cover nearly half the world's population including more or less the entirety of Europe and western Asia. It's by far the largest language family in the world, you'd simply have vastly more options playing as them than anything else.
>>855753they should have named it Mankind

Who would have thought? It is so insanely funny to me to see reddit do this every single time a company, especially ones who make strategy games, immediately jump to defend whatever shitty decisions they're putting in their games that just make them more casual friendly.They do the exact same thing with creative assembly and Warhammer, with even the mods on their subreddit outright banning any negative discussion. If you don't believe me go on there yourself and you will see the entire place absolutely flooded with threads talking about how great this idea is, all of them getting massive amounts of upvotes. It's insane.
>>868301Well OPB is a arrppee guy who hardly seems to play the game while excitedly talking about the next mod or whatever that will save it. I don't think he plays any games with multiplayerHe even admitted he wished he didn't have to control his armies in ck3
>>868212>>868221>>868223>>868252>>868272>>868301Unfortunately, multiplayer autists are such a small part of the community that they could all die in the same bus accident and it would not affect anything; Vicky 3 is not made to be satisfying in multiplayer
In two years time they will add """Tactical""" (Its fucking strategic you retards) war back into the game in an attempt to save it and One Proud Cuckuld will say he always thought they should have kept the old warfare system. Fucking tiresome.All the cunts who say "I AM SO HAPPY THEY CHAGNED IT GUYS! MORE PEOPLE LIKE IT THIS WAY!" Will drop the fucking game before they even start shitting out DLC Just like CK3 because CK3 IS THE EXACT SAME DOGSHIT!People give it perfect scores and never fucking play it!
>>868347Like you said tons of people liked ck3, but then people stopped playing it when the flavor of the month changed or they realized that there wasn't much to do besides blobbing with no strategy. Only people left are incest fetishists who draw hentai for arrr slash crusader kings. (although I've never seen the main one who does it ever post a screenshot of a game hmm)
>>868326>Unfortunately,

What a buggy piece of shit of a game. Took me one hour to keep restarting the game to play the tutorial only to find it is bugged out. Fuck this shit, I'm going back to LoL
>>867659You should come back to Land of Lords

>>868255Thanks anon
>>864702/twg/ is nothing but elf/rat/lizard/whatever larping these days.
Is the considered strategy? New DLC out anyway
>>867929All true, but you run out of carry space pretty quickly on the more crowded levels. I usually ended up with the brain damage strat, where you park one of your characters and then drop off the knocked out enemies all in one place. And every half minute you switch to that character and go down the line punching every lifeless body in the head to renew the knock-out timer. It was pretty silly.I remember being surprised that a knocked-out guard dropped off into a building would wake up inside and come out. I expected buildings to just be a void since they outright swallow corpses too. Non-lethal runs were interesting, but not really fun for me. It really felt like the game wasn't built for them.I haven't played D3 yet, but in the old Commandos games and in Desperados 1 non-lethal seemed better integrated. Having to collect and tie up all bodies and the potential for a single enemy freeing your stash of bodies and basically resetting the map are already enough hurdles.ST is weird in general. You can just kill literally everyone (even civilians) with zero repercussions. Even killing half your liege's army (ie your allies) in the moutain pass triggers no different reaction than a non-violent solution. ST fundamentally doesn't give a fuck about morals which makes me think non-lethal runs are more of an afterthought.
>>866456>Only 6 missions I like it but I wish it was bigger, but I guess an expansion pack for a 5 year old game is uncommon enough as it is
Just finished the campaign. Haven't done any of the speedrun badges yet and I need to get three more badges in the final mission. Nagoya City was a solid mid tier mission. Having Hayato, Aiko, and Mugen in it was a good move because that combo of just those three was never used in the main game. The Toba Coastline archipelago is fucking awesome. It's one of, if not my favorite mission. It handles all 5 characters way better than Kage-sama's camp and the open-ended structure makes it a blast to revisit. Takuma reciting a unique haiku every time he shoots a guard is a nice touch. Hana Gakuen is another great 5 character mission (top 5 worthy) but not quite as good as the archipelago. Overall a short but well made expansion. It is expensive for what you get though, so I wouldn't blame you for waiting on a sale. My only real gripe is how the first and final missions begin and that you can't skip those sections in repeat runs.
>>867552>>868254it's three missions with badges, two interlude missions, and an epilogue.
Had this pretty high on my wishlist and was surprised at the reasonable price for what seemed like 6 full missions. Once I read >>868377 on Steam it was quite sobering. 3 full missions? Seriously?>>868371>Overall a short but well made expansion. It is expensive for what you get though, so I wouldn't blame you for waiting on a sale.Thank you for the confirmation. This seems like the reasonable way to go.
I finished my first game of Crusader Kings 3. Amazing fuckin' game, an 'everything I've always wanted' kind of experience. I look online and see everyone shitting on it saying CK2 is better. I look up CK2 and I don't see it.I see people talking about mods but I don't bother with mod shit until 200+ hours into a game. Does CK2 need the mods to be better game? Does CK3 get boring quickly? I also hear systems in CK2 are deeper. Are the systems actually better, or is it just better at spreadsheet autism?CK2 vs CK3, which game is better and why is it ck3?
>>868231>happens in every gsg"GSG" isn't even a real genre, only a Paradox marketing term.And anyways, these games actually have systems to prevent snowballing (rebellions, civil wars, problems with different cultures/colonies/etc) that actually happened to real historical "blobbers". They aren't well represented in game because modern Paradox only make games to sell DLCs to retards.
>>868364>"GSG" isn't even a real genre, only a Paradox marketing term.Johan claims he invented it with EU1.Wikipedia lists Koei's Nobunaga's Ambition, as the first grand strategy game from 1986.Regardless nobody can define what it means.
>>868364>rebellionsOnly peasants rebellions and they are a joke. They are very weak.>civil warsMost common being liberty faction which lowers crown authority, something you can undo within 10 years.Claimants factions don't permanently weaken anything because manpower replenishes fast.Independence revolts are rare and will virtually never happen if your vassal has the same faith and culture.
>>868372Again, AFIK, only Paradox call their games "grand strategy" so you can't really replace 4X with it.>>868378Yeah, the systems are there but don't really work, that's the point.
>>8382762 hands down. Maybe 3 in 5 years when they are done shitting out copious amounts of dlc for whales

Compfags are the sole reason RTS is dead as a genre.>shit on every noob trying to play rts>wonder why the playerbase is deadCongratulations, you did it! You killed RTS forever with your min-max rush autism.
>>867207This feels like a self-fulfilling prophecy where no new IPs get produced in the field by independent studios because any time a change in formula leads to a need to change playstyle, they instantly reject it as 'not a real RTS'.
>>867207compfags will play literally anything, its just a lot harder than people think to make a good rts
Don't care.Didn't read. Starcraft: Brood War is the best game ever created.

can shooters be strategic?
I played it today with some fags from /v/ kinda jank but was fun but I do hope the modding takes off for more content/weapons
>>867857Some really weird stuff
Almost any game that's not juwt trivially solved can ne strategic.
Everon... home.
>>867857They dropped it in favor of chasing that sweet c00mer money
The most underrated RTS of all time.
>>867491Terrain based height advantage, yes, but Battle Realms also has actual unit height based height advantage (in melee fights). That's why mounted units deal extra damage in melee, or whenever a unit uses a jump attack animation (i.e. the Mauler) the unit also has height advantage for that fight. That's some serious attention to detail. It wouldn't even cross my mind that the animations determine the damage dealt.
>>867509oh yeah, i knew different animation deal different amount of damage, who are also based on rng i believe, but i didn't know mounted units dealt more melee damage
>>864743>I know graphics are not the most important part of an RTS, but the game aged poorly because of that early 2000's 3D.I don't know, the 3D models and animations still look good to me. Certainly better than Warcraft III.

Even with all its faults, Disciples II: Rise of the Elves is the best alternative to Heroes of Might and Magic games.The good:>incredible art style>great ideas (unit upgrades through XP, hero class split)>diverse unit treesThe bad:>balance (just like in Heroes 3, Undead shit on everyone past a certain point, but it's not because of necromancy raised skeletons this time)>game speed>unit branches with nothing special about themI wish someone just made a proper balance patch for the game. It's super easy, there is an editor that allows you to mod every unit's stat.
It says it crashed after I turn it off
>>866040Hmm, looking at this post it seems the balance mod addressed a lot of these issues. The witch hunter line has a lot less HP than the knight line on equal levels in example.
>>865706>>865707>>865710>>865712>>865717But how would you rank the female units?
>>866040>Fear functions the same as paralyze inside cities.Still only 80-89% chance to hit. I think even with the most high levelled units you are pretty much guaranteed to die with the baroness, because she's gonna miss and die.
