A thread for a solid, albeit janky at times, gunpowder RTS series. Here’s hoping for Cossacks 4 in the next couple years that becomes the game of the decade.
>>387044prussia is shit in this game too. That's a plus
>>387044Loved building cities in that one
>>387044Cossacks could have been way popular with a better single player campaign and voice actorsaoe2 got popular first because of the meme campaigns newfags can latch on to

>>382464what kind of space game has Libya and fucking CAR as playable factions?
>>385739idk exactly how it works, but the games startegic metagame is you influencing the nations of earth to support you in fighting the alien bastards. So you dont play as any one nation, but different factions that have various goals. Some are to drive the aliens away, another is to flee the solar system.
none of these look like starcraft clones. and a lot of them don't even seem to be released. so yeah it's dead
Forgot https://store.steampowered.com/app/1109680/Regiments/Also AoE4 is being managed by World's Edge and maybe we will hear something this year.
>>385739>not turning Libya into the jewel of the Arab world to make Gadaffi proud and then taking the fight to the ayys
Tried Warhammer 2 after WH1, playing as Empire and holy shit why are other human fractions such fucking useless niggers? Vampire OP niggers having 5(!!!) full stack armies at turn 30, while you CANNOT trade, have defense alliances or anything at all, on top of that there are nigger orcs and other nigger humans attacking you for NO reason, or better yet you MUST declare war if you don't have enough shit (prestige or something) FUcking nigger game for niggers, both TW1 and TW2, cocksucking bitches sucking cocks to buy DLC shit, so glad I pirated this piece of shit game and now can just delete itFucking kill yourself if you unironically want CA to continue shitting this franchise with manchildren fantasy setting without proper balance and retarded ALLY AI (to be fair enemy AI is so good it makes me fucking insane) I doubt I will ever enjoy this retarded series, because why even bother with tactics? Just fucking doomstack monsters or something LMAO Pieces of shit fucking NIGGERS suck my DICK
>>377452Because 40k doesn't play anything like total war, and would play even less like it in a videogame format.
>>384469It's fantasy total shit, faggot
>>376766So what do you guys think the final DLC will be?One LL will probably be a dark elf but whose going to be his opponent and what flc lord will they add?
>>386925>Because 40k doesn't play anything like total warAre you retarded?
>>386977>mfw Bretonnians used to be based King Arthur>they were retconned into >muh honorable knight while 99% of the population lives in misery
>empire at war 2 never ever>EAW 1 remake never ever why live?
>>384942Based, the prequels, legends, and whatever other "EU" bullshit that comes crawling out of the woodworks of shitty fanfiction writers isn't cannon either.
>No hardpoints means fighters are pointless>HP and armor scaling based on mass means missiles are useless (imps even get a ship that shoots them down)>Turbolasers one shot almost everything unless you autoresolve land battles, otherwise 5 units of tanks/spider droids win with no effort>Upgrades are great, but the only ships you actually need to upgrade are the dirt cheap frigates to deathball or the shittier capitals to do more than tank golan 3sI've got no idea what they were going for, but it's a shame since a whole lot of work clearly went into the unit variety and models.
>>384952The prequels are the only things that are canon
>>385476BasedPrequels had great designs and world building.
>>382136>how do i stop the chiss from sending doomstacks towards me and raping my supple assholeJust turtle up and git gud, faggot.
ITT: post units with good voice lines>What are they, protestors?
>>386167An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded
What the fuck does URA mean?
>>386073The German audio for the Sturmpios is fucking amazing.
>>385955>SHATTER THEIR SKY!
>>385980You're late for your dilation appointment
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.
>>384915Visuals are admittedly very comfy.
>>386549You should hear the music.https://youtu.be/Ngwv7B_lLOE?t=639
>>384915Disregard dairy, acquire grain. Sell off excess grain to the merchant jew and buy loadsa weapons.
I liked sending letters of my own and make them mad, but something happened and I couldn't create them anymore (but could still send it)
>>386772Keith Zizza is a godtier composer, he workd on some of the Impressions Games city builders like Pharaoh and Zeus too, as well as Lords of Magic.
big mouth editionwhat can i do with prisoners in 40k besides sell them? i know i need a few interrogations for tech but i cant get honour badges from capitves
>>385894I think its because originally the Imperial Guard mod was its own mod.It would be salvageable but I don't have the free time to reallt figure out how to fix it outside of changing a few stats. The mod has a huge amount going for it but it just isn't fun, in my opinion, to play guard since you have such a huge disadvantage in terms of troop quality and while it's difficult to lose overall I find it tiresome to play.Shotguns are a lot better than I thought but sluggas outrange them a lot and Orks don't charge. They're very useful on turn 1 albeit often suicidal. They've mostly replaced my flamers.
>>375855>mod completely breaks game
>>385679>out of all the options, unironically plays cannon fodder and girl power factionsyou kind of deserve it desu. fuck the sisters of battle.
>>386268The mod runs just fine for me and it would be silly if hulls were indestructible.
>>375849>Pic I always wonder what kind of life retards who draw things like these have
Is it good in it’s current state or should I wait till it’s more finished?
>>3850431:1 would be a dream come true.
>>382443>>382564>send unit orders>unit receives them>doesnt move, gets wiped>move army on strategic map>bugs out and gets stuck on a bridge while "moving">tell cavalry to do something after they enter combat>receive order>dont respond to any orders until the enemy routs them so they are out of combat againdo i need to keep going
>>386402>Officers are borderline retarded children save for a handfulPretty realistic to the time period, if I do say so myself.
>>385196thats because under the hood, shits pretty simple in terms of calculations. for more sim oriented games, having thousands and thousands of troops while having real to life physics and more complex things to compute. total war is basically 40 units because the units despite showing 200 men, are one blob. while something like graviteam gets down to the low 30 in fps if having something like 200 men in a battle.
>>386423but it can clearly be done
Anyone played this? I have no idea what the fuck to do but it seems unique.
>>386352What is it?
>>386919From what I know so far it is a strategy/rpg hybrid. You compete with others in the post apocalypse to try to control all settlements on the map. You have to manage food and water as your character travels and recruit people to your cause which you can then use to capture settlements. I haven't progressed that far into the game but there is rudimentary crafting system to repair water pumps and improve food supply.
>>386974Sounds a bit like a post-apo Mount&Blade.
So what do you guys think about EraTohoK?Do you guys prefer to rape enemy officers and steal them or do you only do that to prisoners?To you prefer using tentacles or your dick?Have you realized how OP hypnosis is at later levels yet?Do you get others drunk so you can get them to do shit faster?Officer or ruler?Favourite research order?
>>386025It’s better than nothing, at least it does something if you are heavily outnumbered which buffing your stats won’t. Speech is the same type of effect, it might even be better because you can grow your forces. The issue is that you have to have numerical superiority and a skill advantage anyway to get a consistent edge because skill activations are inconsistent.
>>386056>at least it does something if you are heavily outnumbered which buffing your stats won’t.I had sub 1k armies defeat 10k+ stacks in one turn thanks to good buffs and stats m8Direct damage falls off hard by mid game
>>386025What you do is get a character that has the direct army damage at a high percentage or based off of something else (like raising attack) and pairing them with someone that'll raise their attack.
>>335523Any let's plays or tutorials for this that anons would recommend?
>>341954>Or artificially keep your draft cost low to leverage small amounts of money into huge armies and then steamroll. Draft cost is a function of % of cities owned and the sum of all your officers' star ratings.What’s the best way to do that?
This is so well-made and high quality that at this point it is indistinguishable from an actual, official expansion pack. The attention to detail is staggering. How in the world did they manage this? Thank you russians for keeping my favorite game alive decades after release.
>>378959Have I heard correctly that Snow Elves are next? That's basically the only nation on the continent not made playable.
>>375315played the campaign, finished it, it was great.playing single player maps now, this is amazing. https://www.hota.acidcave.net/download.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwMrdt0Subsi want to play factory!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHogD0w_iz4
>>375315when is the factory town coming out?
>>375315It retconned this shit, so they are based in my books.
>>375605>>386797Under normal circumstances the release date would've been the first of January.But given the tragic circumstances it may take a while.
Are there any video games that okay like miniature wargames?
>>385466see >>385542one of my favorites is mission force cyberstorm
>>386347>mission force cyberstorma man of taste right herestarsiege on gog when
>>386505Well Earth/Starsiege is technically freeware now. You can get the iso off of tribesuniverse.com but you have to set it up and patch it yourself.
>>385466Megamek
>>386516>tribesuniverse.compretty sure HiRez took that down about 2 or so years ago, their ISOs were super jank too, missing all the music and a bunch of sound files and had huge compatibility issues with anything past W7. Luckily some discord autists actually fixed up the game and got it running on W10
I would like to find a game like Supreme Ruler Ultimate but with more control over internal politics/diplomacy, or a simpler Power & Revolution, being able to make a coup d'etat, become a totalitarian state and conquer the world. With an editor able to create factions, countries or leaders. Excluding Hearts of iron or any paradox game. Realpolitik is too simple for me and doesnt itch the political itch for me.
>>386331>control over internal politics/diplomacy, or a simpler Power & Revolution, being able to make a coup d'etat, become a totalitarian state and conquer the world. With an editor able to create factions, countries or leaders.Hearts of Iron 4.>Excluding Hearts of iron or any paradox game.Oh well don't play exactly what you are asking for out of spite against Paradox then it is only you missing out.
Power&Revolution is buggy mess piece of shit
>there are some /vst/al vigins on here who haven't done a Rome Total War campaign as the best factionNever gonna make it
>>385436>broken in autoresolveI always hear this complaint but they're pretty much broken in general against factions without phalanxs
>>384877Do you want me to give you the save file for this shit? If you saw the raw amount of high quality unit spam they had you'd know why I eventually fucked off
>>386676*they meaning Julii
>>386677Just grind them down, that's what RTW is
>>386750wtf howthis a mod?
