Half of them aren't particularly obvious, it's unstated if pop cap is raised (in a meaningful amount) by rewards and I can't tell if certain ordinances discourage all or specific types of industry/commercial.
>>1448766I have my box somewhere but I have no idea where exactly. I think it also came with a warning, something about a virus? Also yeah, arcologies... Sucks it's never been implemented in SC3K, the one thing that's missing honestly.

Let's talk about this forgotten 90's gem.
>>1367661Pretty sure she's average.
>>1440911I like 1's presentation style. Where the world and characters were getting more technologically advanced the further you got in the story. The first enemies you face are basic RPG guys like goblins and bats and your team is a knight, a mage, and an archer. Then by the end of the game, the common enemy types are robots and mechanically enhanced versions of earlier enemies and your most recent recruits are robots and a guy with a gun. It's a kind of progression that I don't really see any other game do that isn't directly advertised as one like Civilization, where that's the point of the game.
>>1454376Good point, yeah that is a rather unique point of SF1 that isn't really found in the later SF games. I recall you also get a rocket launcher that you can equip with your centaur archer in SF1. That's cool.
>>1454386It is kinda in 3. But 1 was a lot more about ancient tech popping up via the laser eye etc.
Why would i play it over homm3? Atleast is the balance in this game better?
Can someone help me out? Im trying to install HOTA for Homm3 but its not working. I have the hd mod and everything. It says the Homm3 files arent in the folder that Im trying to install it in, even though they are.If this isnt the right place just point me on my way, Ive been searching different boards.
>>1458726This probably isn't the right thread and it's been w hile since I've last installed HotA, but I'll try to help you anyway. First off, you don't need to instalm the hd mod as it comes with HotA. Also, are you sure, HotA needs the base folder and not the data folder? And you have the complete edition of h3, right?
>>1458843I had the hd mod, and the complete edition off of gog. I didnt have any separate folders, everything was in the same place.I figured it out after tinkering a bit, turns out I just the folder was just "too deep" in my files>D>games>something>Something>homm3And the installer wasnt working, so I just copied the folder outside>D>homm3And the install worked fine.Weird, but Ill take it. I presume one cant play the homm3 campaign on hota version, right? I heard hota had some bugfixes/adjustments.
>>1458856>too deepthat should only be a problem if the path exceeds 255 characters
>>1458859I cant imagine what else it could have been, considering everything worked when I just moved the folder out.

>>1374723The sheer amount of resources required + vat grown children being entirely skillless outside of racial genes makes it not worth it unless you are needing a "sterotypical" xenotype to do a specific thing that xenotype is known for.So, vatgrow a hussar if you need a fighter, vatgrow a genie if you need a crafter/researcher, vatgrow a highmate if someone is constantly moaning about being romantically rejected, vatgrow an impid for live target practice, etc. The benefit is that you can crank out a lot of them once your established. The downside is that lots of food resources are required and those vatgrown pawns will only be somewhat okay at their racial bonuses.Baseliners are probably the worst to clone simply because they have no racial bonuses.
I remember there was this scripted Google Sheet for designing a custom Ideoligion. Anyone has a link to it?

>>1455639Doesn't that end up with your ship constantly on fire, though?
>>1455173Envision a role for your ship and then try to build something that fits said role at the lowest cost possible. This can be something like "fast interceptor" but also "narrow vertical cruiser that fits into small landing spots so I can get the big repair bonus". You can always look at the vanilla ships, see what you like, and try to build something similar/better. A good design can take you a long way. My interceptor design has taken me to Khiva multiple times.When in the campaign, you are constrained by time. You'll recruit vanilla shitboxes, so it's worth understanding what their strengths and weaknesses are in order to modify them efficiently. Conversions to tankers, missile carriers, and aircraft carriers have worked out well for me with ships that aren't combat viable. For those that are, removal of obvious weak spots or reduction of missile carrying capacity if I don't have any missiles to re-equip them with.One thing I still have to try properly is stand-off armor for non-combat vessels in case of missile or air strike.
Why does my save get corrupted everytime I reach the first checkpoint?
>>1458807Try fiddling with your game folders' security permissions, check if the folders have been created in the first place, check file integrity if steam. File shit happens with Highfleet.

Never hear about this game. Is it better than Imperator? Also, field of glory thread.
>>1448191>KingdomsExcited as well. Sad about the lead designer leaving the studio after Empires though. He is a strategy game dev legend.
Apples and oranges.Empires is much more like a 4X than a para style grand strategy game. It's pretty great if you want a really involved battle generator for FoG2. But on its own merits it kind of lacks much of the drama of a game like Imperator. Ironically enough, you're probably better off buying the Paradox game for the better value and less DLC fuckery than the FoG line.
>>1458006which one? Malacher aka Pocus is still the lead on kingdoms as far as I'm aware

WTF is the problem that 4X devs have with nomads??
>>1444723THAT'S A 50 DKP MINUS.
>>1451401>But what if I'm an unreformed tengrist and I want to jump from Ukraine to India (playing as hungarian)? I can or I can't do that? Because for what I remember I can't, that is why I said that nomads aren't true nomads, because you are trapped in your tent camp shitholeYou actually can, which makes it odd the discussion went this far.The Nomadic Capital Holding isn’t like normal ones and the Capital Move cooldown is shorter for nomads.When you move your nomadic capital, all the buildings in it move with you, though some like fishing ports might be deactivated if not relevant to the new location. The Nomad Capital has its own Tech level too which they take with them rather than just using the tech level of where you go, the capital and its province diffuse the between the two like they were neighboring counties.So if your tent is in Hungary and you own nomadic pastures in India, you can absolutely pick up your entire nomadic capital and move it there, taking everything with you.
>>1455212Thanks. I will try it, but I don't remember nomads being fun to play with.

>>1456442KOEI used to do good strategy games but it was long ago>>1456493their strategy are more character oriented but still pretty good(well the old one at last)
Post ideas you had for strategy games:I'd like a game where you play a commander of a mercenary company in the 1500s. Sign a contract with a faction and fight for them, and enemy factions will attempt to bribe you to betray your employer and switch to their side. If your reputation gets too low, however, no one will be willing to employ you, so you can't betray your employer too often.
>>1454889I want something more at the tactical scale. A sole proprietorship criminal rather than a corporate franchise gang.
>>1380587slightly adjacent to the limited information idea, I always wanted to see a somewhat grounded space RTS with time delay as a mechanic ie if your ships are too far away it will take some amount of time for your orders to reach them and the same for you to see what's happening to themonce this delay gets to the order of double digit minutes you're effectively incapable of remotely commanding your ships and must delegate to npc admiralsyou have a personal flagship that this delay is centered around so if you really want to win a battle you would want to actually be in it so you can command your fleet, but you can only be in 1 place at a time and you risk getting blown up and an insta game over
>>1456599Not quite what you're asking for, but try Starsector.
Praise kek and fuck niggers
Thunderbirds by way of XCOM. Basically the same except you respond to disasters (natural or man-made) using high tech vehicles and your men on the ground. The end game could be, like, a worldwide disaster of some sort that you have to do your best to contain (secret cabal uprising? apocalyptic event? Who knows)
