It's rare when a game retains active modding community for years and here this is the case for every game in the series, well except 2 but SM is 2 on steroids and was supposed to be an expansion, this is genuinely impressive.
How do I install 1.6, I'm too retarded for this and it's obviously made with people with experience in mind, help a zoomer out
>>1130331disgusting bloatmy wishes:good AImoddable AI + full sdkcleaner UI and aestheticthat's it

Is anything other than a 11-book, 10-book, and 5+5 book strategy viable? What about having three realms of magic in my arsenal? Like a 4+4+3, or or doing something like a 7+4 book strategy?Also, Master of Magic thread.
>>1199121keep in mind that's 3 digits since it hit steam

Is there any better settlement survival sim out there than picrel? It's the only one I've played with a definite sense of progress and change between early and late game and some challenge besides "your entire city has been destroyed and your pops will all starve to death". Banished is boring as fuck once you've got your settlement set up and it seems like most others in the genre are just clones of that game.
>>1203261Nope.And DoM is also boring as fuck, it's an endless repetition. Plus you are unironically better off sticking to Neolithic for as long as feasible simply to farm research points
I played this devs previous city builder Planetbase and it was too shallow and repetitive to tell me DoM would be any better.
I know its the right move but I'm scared. I already went 5 loans into debt to pay off fucking france's debt so they would actually join the war.
>>1201728I think you could beat that coalition if France helps

>>1202444Do the Blood Elves count? Granted they were just existing Elf units from the Human faction with a few new ones thrown in
>>1202481Literally this. Water was a huge part of WC2 but it wasn't for WC3 and they tried to get it back on TFT but the game was already its own thing on land.
>>1202443Chinese aren't a water civ, they're a jack-of-all-trades
>>1202162Eh not all of them, Vaulters and especially Wild Walkers are closer to the standard. Anything else is on a spectrum from Necrophages who don't do diplomacy and get more soldiers while they are *at* war but otherwise are pretty normal. To Morgawrs and Forgotten who are nearly completely naval locked and can mind control minor faction and turn other major factions into 'politically-correct-to-kill' enemies, in the case of the former, and completely invisible until they attack, great at spying and incapable of using Science, buying their tech or stealing it, for the latter. They also vary wildly in power and consistency because of it with factions with a single city like the Cultists very likely to end up dead turn 10 if spawned near an aggressive civ. To the Morgawr Shadow Empire which very rarely loses against AI and can be very annoying to play against as a player, unless the map has no Sea and few Rivers, then they suck.
>game has a few different factions>within each faction there are a couple sub-factions that differ by unique unit and bonusesSadly I only saw Red Alert 2 and Empire Earth 2 doing something like that.
It releases tomorrow, are you excited lads?
>>1203770I did notice a event that occurs about climate damage and makes me lose a ton of gdp, but I thought that was from the ayylmaos effects on the planet. Is that normal global warming bullshit too?
>>1203777I don't know about that event specifically but there are some wacky things in the game regarding pollution and effects on GDP.
>>1203768Global GDP are fucked when you nuke super power because core economic region got damaged. It's pretty reasonable.
>>1203705>>1203706I can't find the 3.17 patch for gog version.Do I even need to? Is there any big bug on 3.15 that they fixed?

>>1192457He meant the all-in-pack Ubi released on 25th anniversary, not the 10th anniversary remake of S2
>>1193583Literally cancelled
>>1191152I learned to speak German when I was a kid just so I could play S3 multiplayer
>>1191152I am forever mad that you can only ever have 1 builder working on buildings. Literally all it would take is mid-sized buildings having 2 guys and big buildings having 3 builders working on them. Setting up a fucking castle takes forever, and farms aren't faster.
>>1191641>>1191441Its a wierd mixture of S2 & S4 (faction-speciffic resources, goods and buildings, the newest Amazonians don't even mine ores for example) - so it kinda makes it it's own thing I would say
>Game has great graphics>90% of time you stare zoomed out at tactical mode using shift commands on pixels ...Is there any game similar to SupCommander or Total annihilation but without this tactical view bullshit?
>>1198952Wailer is a Forged Alliance unit.
>>1178838does universe at war or planetary annihilation fit the bill?
>>1198952your UI looks like its the basegame. The Cybran T3 gunship got introduced in the expansion.You are likely also missing the T1 gunship and the T2 Fighter/Bomber

Is it worth the research points spent to raise administrative efficiency in colonies, despite already very easily being able to get 100 in your homeland by raising administrative funding or should that tech be focused elsewhere?
>>1200091Yes the AI is retarded. Once as Japan I had 80k Spanish soldiers with no artillery march all the way across siberia and suicidally throw themselves against my dug in troops in Manchukuo because I was taking the Philippines from them despite them already being involved in a Great War.
>>1199354Cuz you're the king baby!!!! fuck the people.
>>1200091>Does the IA particularly hate the human player?Just the French
>>1201363In every game I play I go out of my way to fuck over France and Russia.
>>1200091No that's normal Paradox AI.It even does that in Vicky 3
Anyone ever play Amazing Cultivation Simulator? It looks like it might be a fun way to waste a couple months. Is it as insane as Sseth makes it seem?
>>1202595Because you can more or less custom select their thought shards, and have things like 38 Qi sense or 35 artifact mastery from the moment they awaken, along with other bonuses.Takes about 150 days to raise a high level one and your sect has to be well set up in order to properly take advantage of them and pass their tribulation etc, but the results can't be argued with.Pic related is a simple 5 shard cat Yao I raised (same one pictured above) to have maxed out artifact mastery skill.
>>1196817I thought about making a large diagram of images, but since the methods for all three aspects were identical, I thought a single one would suffice. Now that I've been proven wrong, the image you posted is after selecting an NPC.This image is the end result after going through an NPC. A list of Modifiers, Features, and Experiences, that are currently applied for the NPC.Look at: >>1196440In the previous image, there are two black boxes. One over the AllMF button that you already clicked, and the second over Refresh (the list) which causes only the currently applied Modifiers to show up on the left tab. While the translation itself may be slightly different, the placement and function of the buttons are identical.Clicking on Refresh (the list) will shorten the list on the left to the Modifiers currently on the NPC. This is also how the first image was accomplished.Once you have a list like the first image, go through other aspects including features, and Experiences. Make a list of what's included.>>1199038Do it for the other NPC as well. You might also attempt a third "controlled" version, where the one wandering into the room gets their PER lower than 2. If that can't be achieved, compare the two sets of images. For Relics, the effect ID's are listed on the wiki:https://amazing-cultivation-simulator.fandom.com/wiki/Spirit_Relic_(Feng_Shui)And for the record, while adding/removing a Modifier/Buff or Feature, if it's coming from an external source (like the Weather related ones in my images), removing the resulting effect has no effect.If you want to remove those, get rid of the root cause (Weather in my examples).>>1199308A Mortal thing, to be precise.If they are too tired to reach their bed, they'll just lay on the ground. To solve that issue, Talismans. Either ones that reduce Energy consumption, or ones to increase movement speed. Either work for that purpose.
>>1202558Not sure what is wrong with that cat, but you could try pain resistance manuals?
>>1203179But she has no injuries or pain though?
>>1202963Okay, here's a list of everyone in my sect who had any stat anomalies. Four of them had 2.00 Perception, one had 1.00 Perception, and one had 1.00 Constitution. There may have been luck anomalies as I did see more than a few people with 2.00 luck even when I'm lowering it by 5% thanks to the Buzhou Stone. I will note that one of them was somebody who's only been in the sect for one or two days, ID 32 Ji Ming (3rd in the pic) who is fresh from the Immortal Destiny Fair. Maybe some connection?The last one is the "control" whose stats all get reduced to 0.00 other than Luck.I don't really know what to do or look for past this point though, clicking the modifiers doesn't seem to really do anything that I've noticed and I'm worried about randomly trying to remove them and breaking something. What should I do or show from here?
Ten years later and the whole genre is still dead. I don't understand.How come nobody made a better game than this yet?
>>1198506timberborn came out last month wtf are you smoking
>>1202343That is the most retarded gimicky banish clone to ever come out yet>what if we gave you a shitty basic cookie cutter village game>but we made the water dry up once a year
>>1202344>t. never played the game
>>1202795Post your best screenshot
>>1202343haha no
Anyone ever play this? I had it on my 360 back in the day believe it or not and had good memories of the game, apparently it's abandonware now so you can just download it for free. Seems super imbalanced and the story is a little cheesy, but god damn if it doesn't feel good to just squash an enemy base with a fully kitted walker.
>>1194479Friend of mine really loved this game. Always meant to play it with him. He and his sister both OD'd. Never played it. This was like 2008
>>1194479It was cool but just like any Command and Conquer successor, the 3rd faction is the one that was overpowered.
>>1194479(big post incoming, so please deal with it)I really liked this game, specially the campaign since it subverts "Aliens lose to humanity because of a special Mcguffin/factor they ignored" shit in fiction and show how humans are so laughably useless against the Hierarchy was a nice change of pace, that they had to be "saved" by the Novus in the second mission was the cherry on top..The artistic direction, specially on the Hierarchy walkers, was top tier, buit the rest of the factions don't fall short (but I'd admit I'm not really too fond of the Atlantean esque aesthetic of the Masari).I wished they could have expanded the ramifications of the ending on some kind of official media. Since going by the ending, the Hierarchy is pretty much into disarray after Kamal Rex gets lobotomized and a proper civil war between the remaining generals will definitely happen.Novus and Humanity forming an official alliance is not out of the question either, both of them have fought together and respect each other as equals after all the battles against the Hierarchy.Finally, the Masari campaign makes it clear that there's a faction inside the Masari that wants to punish humanity for polluting the planet so badly, while the queen and the prince wants the Masari to take humanity under their wing after seeing their fighting spirit.I wish Petroglyph could remaster the game and give it official mod support, but that's sadly wishful thinking.
>>1201411>(big post incoming, so please deal with it)Who starts a post like this, didnt read just for that comment faggot.
>>1201411>big post incoming>types one short paragraphSub-80 IQ poster.
Why is there no thread for this game? Its going to be out of EA this month.For those who have no idea, its a tactical 3D space RTS with major emphasis on positioning and micro.
>>1191418>It's coming out of EA this month>Source: my ass
Yeah, it is definitely not coming out of EA for a year or more.
>>1191418Looks like shit
>>1196385Imagine caring about that.

okay nerds its been a minute but we've got a major new update out (and 20% discount) as part of tacticon on steam:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJpaNjv0FYk- online multiplayer- hotseat multiplayer- map generator- totally redesigned supply system- skirmish mode (arbitrary faction selection for matches)- brand new 1v1 & 2v2 map to demo all of the above- all sort of other small tweaks and fixesfull patch notes:https://store.steampowered.com/app/690370/Cantata/?gclid=CjwKCAjw9LSSBhBsEiwAKtf0n1w3Eh8oB8-nHUXGigvALTlax_vni1aUCXg-rYT0DjgdXrMX_ke8BRoCXY8QAvD_BwEComment too long.

>>1200664>>1200668thank you!>>1200994not sure but maybe! publisher mostly controls when sales happen, but may take part in whatever winter sale valve does>>1201015>>1201106the main focus of the game is and has been a really big narrative sp campaign. we only added multi this patch after being in ea since may. all the reviews and playtimes before this patch where people have 10-100 hours were in the narrative sp only. if you don't know this that means we've been doing a bad job getting the word out in the past. we currently ship chapters 1-3 out of 9, and will likely ship 4-7 before 1.0 and all chapters at 1.0.
>map editor>skirmish modeAw shid. I've been holding off but I think it's time to buy in.
>>1201536we’ve had the editor since the first EA release but skirmish is new yeah. full discourse the AI is bad at skirmish right now so it’s best paired with friends.Also yes you can host custom maps with friends, you just need to send them your map file and have them put it in the right place. we’re going to add workshop or some other mod platform to make sharing easier in the future but tbd.
>>1201865also one thing this update adds that isn’t TOTALLY turned on yet is “moddable map generation” - so instead of just changing some parameters on the generator but still generating “cantata” maps, you have the ability to define custom generator input that you can use to generate maps. if you look at the generator settings that’s the “palette” selection. we’ll talk a lot more about this in the future - but basically not only can you make fully custom maps, but you can also design “generators” to generate diffferent flavors of your favorite mode/terrains.
