Why are anons so insistent that a Total War 40k would be "impossible"? Just look at pic related, it was called Epic 40k and is a literal variant of the tabletop game made by GW, and fits perfectly with the Total War gameplay. Besides, CA has already said they'd "love to" do a Total War game set in the 40k universe.
>>709205Gunpowder warfare doesn't work in current TW either. CA changed the shooting system in Rome 2 and kept it since even for WH, which is why gunpowder units in that don't function any different to other missile infantry. It's also why there's now ugly missile trails and missiles don't have the 'impact' they used to, combined with other changes like switching to healthbars etc.
>>709205Nothing works in Modern TW. Everything is barely stitched together. Shut the fuck up, niggerfaggot.
>>696095Talked about this earlier today, A Wargame or Steel Division clone would be the proper scale for a 40k game.
>>709205Fuck gunpowder vs non-gunpowder. These two know whats up >>707250 >>709069Can you imagine the engine being reworked to make actual real troop transports AND deep diving by the devs for this engine? They don't even place down real trees for WHFB.
>>709856if whoever these guys are could make my childhood great with whatever bullshit this engine is held together with then surely a dev could blend overworld map with 40k battles
Features:>Throne Room: A visual representation of your royal court will reflect all the accumulated majesty and prestige of your dynasty.>Hold Court: Interact with vassals and courtiers as they come to you with their problems, seeking a royal judgment.>Grandeur: Increase the quality of life at your court with fancier trappings and better food, all the better to impress your rivals and attract higher quality guests.>Inspired People: Talented artists, craftspeople and thinkers can work on new projects, adding treasures and artifacts to your court.>Hybrid Cultures: Make the most of a multicultural realm, developing a new way of life that is specifically adapted to your population and geography.>Cultural Divergence: Split from your traditional culture, adapting it into something new that better fits your aspirations.Honestly, it really seems overpriced even by Paradox standards.Note for janitor-sama who randomly prunes CK3 threads, this is not spamming, at the moment there is only one other CK3 thread >>663977 which is noob general, while this thread focused on new expansion.
>>710218Ehhttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2107154192>>710230Stop asking Paradox to add fluff, they already struggle to add decent mechanics into their games so just let modders add the extra stuff.
>>710249>Stop asking Paradox to add fluffWhat the fuck is the point of adding a language if it doesn't impact the names? At best it is a minor opinion modifier, the opinion system is already shit and adding more bullshit like this doesn't help.
>>710308arent names dependent on culture/religion? Many muslims name their kids ali or mohammed even if they arent arab.
>>710323Cultures have names, some of those names are religion locked.The easiest way would give each language a variation of each religious name.
>>710218They're not doing a great job of it though.>all Romance languages are just Latin>the Slavic languages are divided by region>in 1066And even on a system level it seems like the languages don't actually do anything - no text or localizations key off of them, they're just an opinion penalty if you need a translator.>>710249>just let modders addNames per language are not likely to be something modders can add. Paradox needs to build the system for that, and the easiest way (thus, is the one they'll almost certainly take) would be to just slap names into the aesthetic section (as they already said they would) and not do any more work on that.>>710308Correct. It's just opinions. It exists to support the DLC, since you'll need it to learn new languages.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Anyone else simp for Cleopatra in Civilization 6?
she has a cute nose
civ 6s art style does not do much for my arousal. it makes all the females look like they just got over a flu.

>>695508the artists who were involved in the movie are all dumb and wrong
>>676986Med 2 is the only Total War game I still play regularly, and I own most of them. Shogun 2 isn't bad, it just has a lot of questionable decisions that are the seeds of really bad decisions going forward (automatic troop replenishment, limited building slots, insanely buffed agents, etc). Med 2 has jank, but it's good ideas jankily implemented, whereas later TW games are bad ideas badly executed.
>tfw no silmarillion TW ever
>>707683I think somebody tried to do that for Rome 1, but I don't know if it was ever finished. I think it was called Arda Total War.
what's the best romance of the three kingdoms game for a new player?
>>703976Use a random number generator. Every installment has people saying it's the best and the worst ever.
>>703976X, VIII, III
>>704144How is 11 the worst?
>>709906It's the most bare bone one with boring combat and ruler only mode.
>>703976Depends what you like. If you like roleplaying/working your way up through the ranks/the ability to play as a nobody, X is widely considered to be the best. XI is widely considered to be the best of the ruler-only games, but overall, there's no perfect ROTK game. All of them do some things well and other things poorly. I still play VII, VIII, XI, X, XI and XIII for that reason.
>Look up Bulat Steel after some anon shilled it here>It looks fucking amazing>Download 12gb of this mod>Can't download english translation and patch because devs said that they will release new patch soon™ and so they removed old downloadswhy

Any fantasy game where you play as a fanatic religious group? With some sort of a story
>>707698It also has to do with the fact that Longs and Named are not well adjusted individuals.Most of the ways to become a Long and almost all the ways to become a Named corrupt people since to some extent it's about becoming a one dimensional single purpose being like a Greek Mythological Character. And out of all the aspects of the Manasus only Heart and Grail followers would even want to have kids and Grails are just massive perverts who would eat their own kid for the thrill and Hearts would justify as it being for their own good.

Many grays got bored and left while others became regulars.
Hi, I'm currently planing to do a England game where I PU France and get the Burgundian Inheritance for a massive headstart on anyone. However I found that Burgundy always rivals me and I for some reason never eclipse them, even though I have 4 times more dev than them. Any suggestions besides restarting 20 times?
>>703209you'll only get like 40-50AE per minor with the transfer age ability.
>>702544Tf you mean?
>>701809Nigga I'm doing the anglophile achievement and I seriously couldn't be fucked to manually conquer Burgundy
>>696740You can always just beat them up and force them to unrival you. If you have the age bonus, you can also easily transfer his dutch vassals to yourself
>>696740>PU france>1547>anon could've just won the insta-PU surrender at maine war.wtf
Why is there no fucking flat land edition
>>709266>MultifactoryWhat exactly is a multi factory?
>>709689Like the Chemical Plant from the tourist DLC, it's a building where you can change what type of good it produces. It's just a way for the devs to make more production chains without making any new models. They're also not classified as production buildings for some reason so they're not affected by trade unions.
>>709266>elevator factory concept>starts ranting about some multifactorydude what
>>709799A lot of people played it on technical test so they know whar's coming.
>>709799>That's where new Assembly Line comes into play which, amongst other things, produces this much more comfortable alternative to stairs.>amongst other things
Has anyone here played this, and can share their opinion/review on it?
>>705521>using gems to boost level is a terrible waste of gems.you still have to do it in a lot of cases. Try boosting air without empowering if you're playing any nation other than birbs
I also recently got into this game, it's been my latest obsession for the past week.I'll have to head over to /domg/ once I feel ready for mp, since I don't trust the discord to not sour the game for me
>absolutely adore Lanka's features and theme>completely unplayable in MP because the combination of blood management, undead management, sacred spam with no H3s, and sabbath scripting makes the turns take forever
>>707902Just hop into the threads and matches, they'll tell you where you're being fucktarded as long as you post about it.
>>709719had a good lanka mp game, just don't have other games running
Question to Shadow empire player.What is your take on crime syndicate, corporations and cults?Its really fell bare bones for me and when cults are benefit, crime and corpo feel like a too much bothersome to even play with it.
>>708371>What other /vst/ is like this?Taking forever or taking a couple nights?
>>708371SMAC? There was a thread on this board made for "quick" strategy games a couple of months ago but I've lost the link.
>>708375Couple of nightsThanks SMAC anon I will check archives
>>708371>>708798yeah, for traditional 4x shouldn't take that long, try SMAC, Old World is a new one too, Oriental Empires is pretty greatneither should take TOO long, and don't have much of a boring endgame, but obviously are much better when you have "friends" to play with
>>708798King of Dragon Pass/Six Ages are great and incredibly unique if you're in the mood for "lighter" but still super engaging strategy games. KODP in particular can still be brutally difficult but it moves along nicely.
So, what's the /v/erdict?
I just installed the invisible orb on every one of my guys and rushed every boss, all would drop dead within a turn or two. Playing the game efficiently kind of drops the fun. Still, very stylish.
>>708176Those both sound like dogshit, get your ears checked.
>>70581710/10 music (matter of taste but only a retard wouldn't love this one)8/10 sound design3/10 level design (boring generic dungeons, the only variety comes in colors and enemy types)6/10 core gameplay (it feels very easy to use, is fairly intuitive but once you understand what *works* it is easily exploited. It might be more interesting with spiking up the difficulty level, which is highly customizable, and using self-imposed challenges)40k/10 atmosphere (if you are a fan of WH you are going to cream yourself playing this, unless your skub lies elsewhere as far as the lore is concerned)Biggest flaw: no multiplayer
>>706775Out of all the drivel I've read on this site, this is possibly the worst thing. The music is rad and basically perfect.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBEUwkvNbks
I'm actually playing through it right now on Hard, is 25% awakening by 12 missions bad? >>705817Kickass so far. I much prefer it over XCOM; overwatch creep was so damn boring and I like how they completely cut hit chance in favor of properly managing your unit's health bars. It seems mostly fair but a little undertuned, enemies are kinda dumb and don't do much other than shoot you, and pumping up the difficulty just bumps their HP and reduces rewards which isn't any fun. Probably the best WH40k game so far (not exactly a fan but I've been following the world) it's just unfortunate that GW is a scummy company and won't let more people flex their creativity.
Daisenryaku is a Japanese strategy game. It is the godfather of Panzer General and pretty cool. I got the shit kicked out of me trying to Typhoon during the winter and now I'm trying the Japanese campaign. The first two missions are at Khalkhin Gol, first driving the Mongolians out and then counter-attacking the Soviets. Mission 3 is Pearl Harbor, but the player has only 10 turns to achieve a Complete Victory.
>>710913lel, I may have inadvertently crushed Zhukov's army. I'm going to do my best to deal with the Soviets and then turn my full attention to the British and Americans. https://files.catbox.moe/dq17hy.png
If I can just close in around his base so he can't spawn shit I can probably take him out.https://files.catbox.moe/4ihqyd.png
SOVIETS DEFEATED!https://files.catbox.moe/a5773t.png
Alright, I'm going to pause here for tonight. The Allies aren't going to be quite so easy to deal with.https://files.catbox.moe/5s0gdl.png
>>711039Hell yeah.
Just finished Desperados 3 and enjoyed it a lot. Haven't played an real time tactical games since Shadow Tactics and I find myself suddenly craving for such titles. Has anyone tried Partisans 1941? It looks like one of those Commandos-esque games as well.
I'm interested in this as well. Love tight real time tactics games, from Fallout Tactics to Men of War to Shadow Tactics.
>>708518Tried out Partisans, and it's pretty good. Attacking enemies head on is quite viable as long you position your units properly so you don't have to resort to pure stealth takedowns all the time. The base management and resource gathering don't seem to add all that much though from the looks of it.
Stealth RTT is a rather underpopulated category. You have the Commandos series, Desperados series, Robin Hood, Chicago 1930, and the ones you mentioned.Games by Best Way provide a similarly stealthy experience but are more focused on combat rather than trick abilities. I also vaguely remember something called Shadow Company.
Haven't played Partisans but there's another WW2 game coming out next month called War Mongrels. Apparently it's going to have online co-op.https://store.steampowered.com/app/1101790/War_Mongrels/
>>709451forgot to mention there's a mission set in a concentration camp that has tons of bodies piled up.
