EU4 love and hate thread
>>385628It's significant. If your speed 5 is just speed 4 with an espresso, then MEIOU will be a very frustrating slog.
ahahahafucking finally
>zoom into south america>game softlocks every single time>even when starting a new game thereHow to fix please help. Yes I did google it, no i didn't find anything, yes I verified the game files
>>364876i played the m&t3 beta and imo its too far on the simulation side to really have fun. the interface is too clunky and costs mana to use, so i ender up not investing time and attention intoy provinces as much as i shouldve. something i liked about 2.5 was that the mechanics while realistic were very understandable and gameable.
Has anyone else played the Elder Scrolls mod for EU4? It's pretty good.
What's up with your current fort anons?
>>385755at first I read that as >How do I edit the tags to make all dwarves ediblesbut both options are possible, trannies are in the game already, and only thing thats stops dorfburger from being a thing is ETHIC:EAT_SAPIENT_KILL:ACCEPTABLE]
>>385757>trannies are in the game alreadyAre they, how do they manifest in game?
>>383855Use bridges as scaffolding.
>>385764They actually aren't.
anyone played dragon ball mod?
Why was this made?
got it for free on Epic, is it worth a download?
>>384530It was a failed project that they assigned to the bulgiarian studio to test mechanics for their mainline games. Pretty much a paid beta test using a setting, just like TOB was. This was a test for god mechanics and resources, as well as seeing how people like these "historical" games after 3K.They realized mid development that this game appeals to literally no one and entered partnership with Epic, who was asking them for exclusivity since 3K but that didn't go through, so they could at least make some money off it. This game would have been a bigger flop than TOB was if it released on Steam, they took the paid X copies and launch for free on Epic to avoid criticism by deflecting it with it's "free". Also prepare for WH3 to be EGS exclusive, since they refuse to comment on if it will be or not and they added a way to transfer DLC between stores on their website through a CA account.
>>384530probably should have been an expansion pack like Wrath of Sparta. It's an interesting scenario with warhammer/3Kingdom style champion combat but does not really have enough content for a full game.
>walks right through your phalanx
>>384530Why are you retarded?>>356909
>here's your new civil war bro
>>385724>people are talking about civil war happening in 40's>globohomo and brainwashingGo back to /pol/
>>375422The logic is that Long is power hungry and prepared to ally with the racist/nationalist elements (who obviously form a significant base of support in the south) if it helps the AUS win the war. Although they don't align much with his real politics, they're still welcomed in his big tent movement. Long's failure to fully commit to the conservative agenda post-civil war and satisfy all sides is the reason the racist/conservative faction under Pelley seizes power.
>>382335>Georgia>kfcPffff
>>382335>carls jr on east coast>hardees on west coastwhat is this meme map?
>>382335is no one going to mention that 3 states have fucking Chuck E. Cheese everyone there should be euthanized
What are some good Play-By-Email (or similar systems where turns are sent in by players whenever) strategy games? Fucking love that style of play but it has mostly vanished in recent times. I know Dominions of course, and Combat Mission, what else is there?
>>376909Is War in the Pacific still active? Shit looks great
>>376636How long do these games even last?
>>376979> he should make that a board gamecheck out Cave Evil. >>385452It depends. For me, three months on average.>>379091>2) Communities usually want fresh blood, say you're new and try to learn. Losing all the time is a great way to get up to speed.
https://crlt.co/OUDSA really good game for when you have time! Patience is the key with this one.
Shadow Empire has decent pbem
>>385183It's the Total War game, but with the blood DLC.
>>362805Who is getting BTFO, and who is the BTFOer? Dong Zhuo? I'm not used to seeing that fatass move so fluidly.
>playing RoTK XI, benevolent Cao Cao run>no executions, just release the crappy officers and try and recruit the good ones>Splendid Ma Chao will never ever ever ever join Wei>even the big-eared villain will submit to the will of heaven>even Yuan "JUST" Shao will join after a month contemplating his past mistakes in a dingy prison cell>Ma Chao just keeps signing up with the remaining warlords and trying to kill me
>>375135I run out of food trying to get through their endless units.
>>385804Send out an officer as a supply unit. Load him up with food and possibly troops/weapons as well if you find your armies are getting attritioned to death. Make sure the enemy can't clear your front line zone of control though because your supply unit is largely a sitting duck.
I recently picked up Lords of the Realms 2, but it has been so long since I last played it, that I completely forgot how to play it. How to get gud?Might also talk about Lords of the Realms, not just the second title, but the whole series.
>>384915macemen READY!!
I don't remember how to play this
I learned about crop rotation from this game
The knights are like motercycles
One small thing that annoys me slightly is that you don't need armor to recruit swordsmen even tho they're the only infantry that visibly wear metal armor. I get gameplay wise why it's that, but it still bother me. The same with the fact that you don't need to provide weapons and horses for knights, you just need armor. Feel a bit like a lame simplification for me. Another thing, not sure if it's me or the game, but in battle I feel like I have to constantly babysit my troops because most of the time they seem to bounce into each other and stand idle near or even next to the enemy without attacking him.
Is your nation trouble by war exhaustion or inflation? No biggie, just press the mana button few times and everything goes away.Is your empire unstable after huge conquest? No, issue just spend mana to integrate it.Is your capital shit? No worries, just with a few mana clicks you can turn Stockholm more developed than Paris.Do you want a great general? Use mana buy new generals.There is abstraction and then there is going too far.
>>384962what the fuck is a grognardIs it vsts sneed
>>385874grognard: N, wargaming autist
>>385874actualy it's /tg/'s sneed
>>384817>Do you want a great general? Use mana buy new generals.That's how it worked in EU3 though
>>385612if you don't want male vassals to die all the time then go in and forbid themreaching emperor, unless you're tribal, should be something like winning the game. it should be easy. but i bet if you let it go for a while something would go haywire. but maybe there are too many gamey ways to control your vassals.
Opinions on this game?
>>385326You are a retard any unit will get rekt by rng, expecialy by berserkers.
>>385754It's easy to deal with berserkers. They have low hp and are easy prey for ranged units. Select good terrain and avoid fighting them in the mountains.
>>385618If you think about applying that to all units, that would just be an unfair advantage to the attacker
Just reinstalled, tried playing some scenarios, uninstalled.I forgot how much the RNG and save scumming dictates this game. Or did I get worse? I remember finishing some of the "Expert" campaigns and now I get filtered by Novice ones.
>>385754How can berzerks be real, just attack them with any lvl1 fighter.
I did not care for Age of Empires III. Simply did not care for it.
>>385915I prefer cossacks, fight me
>>385918Why would I fight you, I consider you my brother in arms!Cossacks really scratches that itch for massive gunpowder battles, I hope 4 comes out and becomes the greatest RTS of this decade.Fuck sich Cossacks though. Fuck them.
>>385915Not so unbelievable statement. If you would say that about AoE 1 or 2 it would be more shocking, but I don't think AoE 3 has such reputation of untouchable classic as the first two games.
Who cares

Let's have another one, because why not?I am a newfag to the game, joined after sseth's video and I have a few questions.Is it just me, or are the energy weapons plain worse than the physical ones? Flak cannons have higher damage and are good for shooting down missiles, while missiles have significantly higher damage than anything energy weapons can output. I often get slapped around by the ai in the early game if I try to go with them instead of the physical ones. How do I use them optimally?How do I play tall as the Hissho? I am not sure what trick is there to it, how do I even make my systems super tall if when playing wide I can usually afford to get all the best buildings, wouldn't limiting your expansion just handicap your capabilities?
>>385556If you're a new player DON'T play Nakalim. Not only is the expansion they're grouped with an utter mess, but their faction mechanics are so fucking weird you're setting yourself up for failure when you change to a new one.
>>385561>>385563only awakening off?or the other dlcs too?
>>385563People complain about Penumbra, but the Umbral Choir is interesting to fight and also keeps you on your toes. It adds another layer to building wide (do I want another vulnerable system?) and lets you pull stuff off when you're on the backfoot. I've fucked up my friend's Craver snowball by getting a good hack off on their home system in the past and the salt was indescribable.
>>385571meant for >>385567
>losing war against UE>force truce > cold war > force peace > bureaucratic imbroglio to counter negative influenceHow long can I keep this up? I wonder if its possible to win a game without building a single ship, just by forcing factions to stay at peace through influence.Yes, I am new. I am trying a pacifist lumeris run for the first time.
The Virgin Kir'ko and the Chad Oathbound edition.Keep Preserving the Future fellow swarmheraldsPrevious thread: >>344315
>>378707>sequential kill systemThis is still one of the most BS mods in the entire game. No wonder Vanguard is the one that has access to it,
>>381702>copypaste rosters and low-tier units being useless past the early game.Oh, true.
>>385773Low tier units are supposed to be useless in the late game otherwise nobody would build late game units.
>>385922Lategame units should obviously be stronger in a straight comparison, but not necessarily more efficient. Few things make for a blander endgame than just mindlessly spamming your faction's best unit and rolling over everything. 4x games already suffer from shitty endgames in general, so anything that creates more variety is a definite plus. By allowing low-tier units to remain relevant past the early game the way Planetfall does, you significantly diversify the way endgame battles can play out.
>>385922Late game units should be better, but rarer.
How can I recover from this
>>383889What do you mean?
>>383845>>383539I like it just because they give you watchtowers after you capture a province.
>>384123>>383889In the options or at the start of the campaign you can change the unit size.At the highest level you have normal infantry and ranged infantry of 120 men regiments, with 150 men regiments of massed units like spearmen, pikemen and cheap throwaway militias.Otherwise all cavarly have a unit size of 80 with generals bodyguard having a size of 40(that number can be expanded to greater than 80 even I think).Bigger unit scale serves better for stuff like sieges and strategic placing. Also battles are just cooler with it. You should have no problem running on the highest unit scale with a modern Computer, not even one of the highend ones today but just a normal PC from maybe 3-5 years ago.You can just test it out in the custom battles. Generally Medieval 2 has problems with fully stacked armies when it is around 3 - 4 armies of that type in one battle.
>>383539yes
>>377609>game is basically won already>how do i fix this?Cut down on army stacks you don't need or send them into fray of enemies and loot and rape them for monies. easy.
'ate rumberg'ate bluds'ate soll'ate oligarchs'ate superpowers'ate wifeluv wehlenluv agnoliansluv reformistsluv sordlandluv lucianSimple as.
>>384533Why is Agnolia so based?They saved my ass when Rumburg decided to start some real shit.
>>384533FUCK Rumburg, winning the war felt so fucking goodI really enjoyed this game, it honest to goodness felt tense and rewarding to build up the reform process and get it passed, I don't know if it's just smoke and mirrors and the kind of thing that is actually trivially easy to do, but at least for a playthrough it FELT difficult, and thrilling to manage to make it work.At the end of the game the Bluds fucking hated me, though, should have wiped off those cunts but that probably would be harder going with the well meaning democratic reformist path I was taking.Even wife loved me because I backed up her social reform pet projects, though I wish the game would have let me not include any kind of quotas but just open up the education system and the other programs insteadSerge absolutely loved me, too, though now I'm wondering, what happens in the other paths? Does he turn out to be a hired assassin by Soll to keep an eye on me or something? Because his complete lack of involvement in the plot feels really suspect so far.
This game is fucking fantastic. Bought it on Steam after I pirated it, planning to get all cheevos. That is all.
i want to play this but the lack of a proper save system makes me too pissed off to try it
>>385911I played it for a good while in the intended way, but at some point close to the end I just gave up and started backing saves in the %appdata% folder manually, it's easy enough to do. I honestly wouldn't let this stop you from playing, you should make a push, it's really enjoyable if you enjoy this kind of narrative-driven political intrigue stuff
