I was just looking at soulstorm's campaign options, why is the campaign using alpha legion? Don't they despise demons and chaos taint, or is that anti-chaos stance newer fluff than what the game was working with?
>>1063732Not a 40k lore expert, but from what I heard originally AL was supposed to be the youngest legion that tried too hard to catch up with the others, but then Dan Abnett came about and turned them into Fantomas wannabe all according to keikaku legion, and the game was made before the book.
>>1063732Devs of both it and the original were not the biggest fluff scholars (that's why in this one you have a simple civilised world producing thousands of super heavy tanks that are only made by dedicated forge worlds). Only DK is canon, the rest are bullshit.
>>1063732The Alpha Legion is layers upon layers? Why are the operating so openly on the field? Is it even the Alpha Legion under that armor? I doubt even they know at this point.

>>1065092Farms don't use workers if there are machines.
>>1065096They do, people start from the back of a field and machines start from the front. I recall someone here said people don't harvest as much as machines so you probably are better off just using machines
>>1065017Because farm trucks have had their crop pick-up behavior improved such that using two buildings to do the job of one is just extra work for no reason?The only benefit now is that a DO lets you drop off the crops somewhere other than the farm itself. But farms now also have factory connections. So I wouldn't bother.>>1065092During sowing and harvesting, fields accept workers just like any other industry. The machines and workers can work at the same time on the same field. Fuddlore says that workers harvest less crops than a machine would, but I don't know if it's true.In general, there's no need to bother with using workers when the vehicles do it so efficiently by themselves.
>>1062318Are traffic lights and signs already in main, or when have they been added?How far is the autism in that regard?>>1065092They do accept workers, and they serve as a addition to machines as mentioned above, though because its a sort of sazonal job, its not efficient to let the bus always run with workers when they don't have to, requiring a bit of micro or planning ahead of villages around farms>>1064243>A bus end station serves as a fuel stop so your buses won't drive out of their route to fuel up. It also lets you use time-based line spacing so your buses aren't all driving at 30 kmh the whole time.That's brilliant, somehow never thought of that, I guess it also works as in between point?How do you mean line spacing because of that? that's something that always bothers me with the busy lines
>>1065378>How do you mean line spacing because of that?If you click a button at the bus end station the station will look at the average time to make the line's circuit and divide by the number of vehicles on the line, then hold any buses there until the appropriate amount of time has passed since the last one departed. So a 300 second circuit with 6 buses would optimally have a bus depart every 50 seconds. If one arrives 40 seconds after the previous one departed the station will hold it for 10 seconds. If it arrives 55 seconds after the previous one departed it will be allowed to depart immediately. Normal line spacing no longer applies-the buses will drive as fast as they can the entire time-so it's possible for them to get bunched later up due to traffic and stuff. There's also an option to just have them depart on a user-defined schedule, so you could just tell it to make a bus depart every 30 seconds if you want.

Kind of have the itch to play some CK3, but I have this weird idea for a playthrough. I want to have a kingdom full of obese people, with the big objectives being 1) sustain myself off the gold acquired from the "gluttonous courtier eats all the cakes" event hopefully firing off all the time and 2) form a new religion and culture that views gluttony as a virtue. My question: is there any particular start that is great for sandbox-y, build-your-own-custom-kingdom playthrough in CK3? Or any particular starts that you guys think would be particularly fitting or funny for this rotund kingdom?

Thinking of trying cities skylines again.-did parking ever get patched/explained ?-does adjusting the garbage truck slider still do nothing? (Says it increases the # of trucks but does not seem to affect trash pickup)
>>1065452cities skylines still has issues but its the best modern day city builder out there and can look really impressive with mods and patience. Parking works, but its not needed and sims still have pocket cars I think.

How do you roleplay in this game?

>>1064318If you want to gamify those complexities you'd probably have to roll dice to decide on what matters to focus, and which choices to pick in events - with odds weighted based on the character's traits.
>>1062934You don’t.Even CK3 is better at role playing then 2.
>>1062934You literally can shop for your ideal waifus and concubines. Shit gets me diamonds.

How do I build something aesthetically pleasingEvery city I make ends up looking like Kowloon
>>1065106Pre-plan as far ahead as you're willing to think.Try out all the brush tools, remember that shift+whatever tool = remove designation, makes it easy to do more complex things.Most importantly, keep as much open space as you're willing to leave between buildings. On my main roads I like to keep a 3 tile green space (for use by torches/statues/trees later) on each side of 3 tiles of path. Going down to 2 green space on each side of 2 tile roads for side paths (enough room for torches and the mid-sized trees/statues). Even the smallest dead-end alleys are 2 tiles wide, 1 green and 1 path.

Do archers feel lackluster to anyone else? My fully trained archers seem pretty shit at actually killing enemies compared to just blobbing with more infantry. Defending with them seems fine but attacking feels off.

>>1062926install hd mod or hotactrl click stackyou done
>>1063484Hd mod and hota is essential at this point, they even show unit turn order now, thank god for that improvement
>>1062892>Correct strategy is to prioritize creature dwellings first, but on easy difficulties you can do capitol if you want.That's just your opinion man. It highly depends on what dwellings are close by and how well they are guarded. If you have no gold to buy them with those extra creatures are useless.Having other structures built in a city can be a game-changer, and gold can be exchanged for other resources. Gold can be used to keep hiring disposable heroes on every week start for that creature boost (and it can even be significant with a T1 creature specialist).You just need to read the surroundings well and see what works best in any given map.
>>1062879try watching commentated competitive gameplay. i've never played homm3 in any sort of competitive scenario, or even played much multiplayer at all, but the strategies they use are cool and really helpful in singleplayer campaigns.
>>1062879test
So, it's been a while since news came out that they iced Earthbreakers to work on something with a "big publisher" and it seems the general consensus is that they're either working on:A Star Wars RTS or Empire At War sequel/remake with Lucasfilm/Disney.Something Command & Conquer related with EA.A Dune RTS with Funcom.So...what the fuck are they doing?
>>1061669It's the best rts engine to date, and 3D beats 2D and voxel garbage any day. They should've remade the originals as TW addons instead of what we ended up getting, honestly.>>1061686It's not a great mod at all, especially the broken 2.0 version that managed to fuck up even the few things left functional from vanilla. TWA and TH do the job better with proper looking T-visored militants, gen 1 and 2 flame tanks that are actually modelled good, and nice animations.
>>1063079>It's the best rts engine to datestopped reading there, it had mediocre pathfinding, a 30fps cap because they couldn't bother to decouple the renderer from game logic, and offered nothing to the table over other game engines
>>1063079>It's not a great mod at all,But it is. It plays great, it is cohesive in its presentation, it is fun to play as any faction against any other, the campaign works with it.>especially the broken 2.0 versionAlphas tend to be broken, more breaking news at Slowpoke Daily.>TWA and TH do the job better with proper looking T-visored militants, gen 1 and 2 flame tanks that are actually modelled good, and nice animations.Which job? TE is not trying to be "TibSun in TW's engine". Not 100% certain, but I believe it even has somewhere in its description that it tries to imagine how things would have gone in the third Nod-GDI conflict if TibSun's influence on the setting was not more or less dismissed.Also last time I have played TWA, v1.72, it was more along the lines of "TW with TibSun's flavour" kind of deal. Epic units, pitbulls, Mammoth MKIII, EA's Scrin, hub turrets and so on.
>>1062592Okay fine, except they are also effective against isolated medium and especially mammoth tanks.
>>1063953It doesn't play great, shit's slightly good at best. Garbage art style and animations ruin it. Some things like ballistics and weapons in general are great, though with aliens and steel donut muties it went out the window and those are as garbage as the visuals. "B-b-but it's alpha" is not an excuse, this broken ass version is old enough to go to prep school. The whole mod is a buggy, poorly made abandonware. TWA does exactly that job of "third war with influences from second" better by keeping good looking cyborgs and walkers from KW, not fucking up the avatar mech, and adding proper looking cyborg commandos instead of TE's "timmy's first day in blender" ones. As for a good 3d port, older structures, "elite cadre" militants, medics and vehicles from TH, cyborgs from TWA, and GDI infantry from TE would make for a good mix. Shame that still leaves a lot of stuff lacking assets, but it won't be too hard to fix given some time.
What are some games like Dawn Of War?
Kohan 2 had squads and attachable leaders if I remember righthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYbBCTJllaE
>>1059816Battle Realms in some ways.Doesn't have the squads, but it does have melee units tying up ranged ones, an autistically deep system of unit damage and resistance relationships, such that every single unit has a unique matchup with every single other unit, and most factions let you give one of two pieces of war gear to your units, letting you kit them out for specific roles, matchups, or purposes.Nowadays I think you pretty much have to acquire it from.around the internet, and I have no fukkin clue how multiplayer works.
>>1059816Battle for middle earth has very similar design>Small focus on base building. Building is very simplistic in order to not detract from battles, you barely need any workers>Similarly there are barely any resources at all. You have "resources" with which to build everything and mana points to cast spells/abilities.>Very aggressive playstyle, battles happen almost immediately after game start. No time at all to turtle>Squads instead of singular units, save for hero units>Upgrading squads with equipment and microing their abilities>First game is all around capturing points on the map around which you can build buildings. It's very similar to Dawn of War. Second game forces you to build your resource buildings so far away from each other it basically results in this same.For me it's Lotr Dawn of War
>>1065269BFME and it's mods are very based
>>1065269How the hell am I supposed to make it run on windows 10?

I want a nice, slow paced, sorta relaxing rts.I like sci fi with mechs and I like colorfll fantasies. I am not too picky with theming however warcraft and starcraft trn me off for some reason.Complete begginer to RTS always loved the idea of it tho. Any reccs?
>>1062143Confrontation, nice. I'm hoping to start Kelts soon.
>>1062143You can turn game speed to slower in Age of Empire 2 and the game two long tutorials for the beginners, one for the basic stuff and the other to introduce the more advance stuff like early economy. Plus the game is popular so you can easily find videos on how to play or place to ask question, be it even in /vst/ Aoe threads. It's historic, not fantasy, but I still recommend it. I find Anno 1404 (Dawn of Discovery in NA) very relaxing and fun, although it's different form your classic rts. Combat here isn't the focus and in fact can be completely optional. Mainly you take care of producing goods and transporting them between islands with ships to make your cities grow happily. >>1062614Dawn of War 2 has a very limited unit cap, especial in the campaign where you only control like max four or five squads at once (one squad work as one unit) without much of base building. So there's that.
>>1062143C&C3 has a vide range of visuals compared to TS with its "red zone and desert, lmao" style, and also has some mechs.
