Who in the right mind tought about this idea?>force ally to give territory they held before the war away>demiliterize the zone that is right next to an old enemy that covers a very strategic canal (suez)>instead of allowing them to take over the caucuses to cover their own flanks, the germans decided nah lets not>iran, a nation without a centrelized army or conscription, that has suffered from famine losing millions of it's people is ready to fight a modern nation>egypt, a nation who could not even beat the sudanese, had to call the brits in will now overrun a WW1 victor with almost no industryhonestly this mod has becoem extremely dogshit
>>524336agreed, I tip my riding hat to you, good sir.
>>520970The idea of the Europeans forcing the Ottomans to internationalise Palestine isn't too absurd, but the idea of the Germans not seizing the Suez as it was prior to the update is insane. Germany's position in Asia is completely reliant on Suez, which means they are in the same position geopolitically as Britain was prior to the revolution. So why in the hell would they hand it over to the Suez?
>>523397I'm not even into ponies
>>525018This is what i meant, removing historic context, exposing yourself by weakening an ally just seems like pure stupidety
>>525262stay sub human
Any exist? I like cowboys
>>523379What? No .. no I think you misunderstood. I don't play video games I just like cowboys.
>>514225I tried it once.After I played it 2 times, the game kept crashing, and I couldn't fix it, so I had to reinstall it(and lose all of my progress that far).After reinstalling it, and starting fresh again, it worked, but after another 2 times, it started crashing like the first time.Never touched the game since
>>514169Thank you so much for the suggestion anon, I just found a new game to waste time on.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48bO1oyR6u8it's just frozen synapse with a western themeand it's not period cowboys, just people with bandannas and cactuses and shit
>>514168Best is Hard West IMO
What are some go-to strategies for a Zoomer that never played XCOM before?
>>523814This. If they discover you, you get a free turn. If you discover them, you get to say goodbye to the soldier that discovered them
>>511431I just spam grenades endlessly. I use like 4 heavies per squad.
>>524087Does that actually work lmao?
>>524556>does guaranteed damage, massive debuffs to enemy aim and the ability to deny ayylmaos their abilities workGrenade spam might be the optimal strat in earlygame
That feeling when your sniper is a backbone of your team for half of the game and suddenly he fucking dies.
FTL: Faster than LightInto the BreachBoth are strategy games. Please discuss them. Post OC. Talk about how to beat them, strategies, preferences, help for others having trouble, how much the RNG sucks, and more!
>>512541I can't even beat level one in Into the Breach
>>527779Same shit I asked >>512585 retard. What do you mean by "beat"? All mech pilots alive? No hit to power grid? All bugs squashed? All level objectives met?
>>527511well shit
>>512541rusting hulks are the best preset team, fight me
>>518563I've been playing FTL: Multiverse a lot lately, there's an insane amount of content and I've been enjoying most of it. There are some other big mods like Captains Edition but I'm not a fan of them. There's also tons of smaller mods that add like 1/2 new ships with some new weapons if you don't want anything too crazy.
>>519756Ck2
>>519756CK2 is good, but like tribal (and iqta) I think they're not unstable enough.
Total War

Why was there never a 4th gameshame they went to making puzzle games since it was really a one of a kind game
>>504619Whats the issue with spellforce? I didn't play it yet
Where our /K/nightlord?! KNIGHTLORD RULE!!
>>527515Dangerously based
>>527515>KnightchudKek
Does harder multiplayer AI give the player the ability to find better items for their leader?
Post romhacks and outdated image macros. Also, Fire Emblem belongs on /vst/, not /vrpg/.
Will IS ever come close to releasing something that requires strategy like Conquest again? Three houses is absolutely shit when it comes to gameplay
>>528670I cheesed this map last time I played by putting unarmed units at the choke points around the starting area. Am I a terrible player?
I like FE, but how is this not a general?
>>529068I asked myself the same question when I made a thread with the keyword 'thread' in it for another game which got deleted. Then I looked at the catalog and see threads named the same way and they're still up with 100+ replies.
>>529068This board is so damned slow and flooded with parashit that pretty much everything else is a general by default.
This game any good alone?
HOW does this RTS game from 2006 look better than AOE4? I remember the developers (Stainless Steel Studios and Midway San Diego) barely scraped by with this game, tried their hardest, focused on the European market, and then, unfortunately the studio closed 2 years later, the games servers closed. It just didn't deserve this. Had they launched this game today on Steam it would've made a fortune.
Can't make em like they used to. Yes, the game was imbalanced as shit but it still looks good after 15 years.
Great game
>>527904How is it running on windows 10?
>>528530Works just fine.Cleo mission 3 is bugged
One hour of new High Fleet gameplayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEq2dV2wTT0
>>528056yeah this was a disappointing revelation
>>528056>>528458Its a sequel/prequel to their previous game Hammerfight which was like this except with melee weapons instead of guns.
>>528649For whatever reason I assumed this was something like Sunless Skies, dunno why.
>>528649Man they definitely upped the budget for this
>>528649Well, I didn't exactly do any reading about the game before. I merely watched the trailer and noticed that Microprose was involved.
Any 4x or grand strategy or whatever games that focus on both foreign and domestic policy, diplomacy, civil conflicts, political intrigues and such? Preferably with above average AI to play solo.
>4x or grand strategyWell, take a look at the lists of games of these genres, at least half of them will have all of those features in any way, shape or form.Some random names:Superpower 2Supreme Ruler seriesRealpolitiks 2Some of the AGEOD games, like Rise of PrussiaYes, Your GraceSuzerainRogue State Revolution
>>528460> Preferably with above average AI to play solo.The game you're asking for literally doesn't exist.
What comes to mind the most would be the "Power and revolución geopolitical simulator" but if I'm honest I heard that it has Bugs and that you have to do a lot of micromanagement but its mechanics are interesting
>>528460Shadow Empire
Can we all agree that the competitive scene ruined the entire genre? Just like they ruin everything else.
Just got this what am I in for?
>>526424How does the original compare to it? I remember getting the original a long ass time ago and got filtered lol.
>>528335it's the same game, balance is just different like these anons pointed out>>526845>>527076>>528067it's sort of like asking "i didn't like warcraft 3, will i like frozen throne" or something like that. if you give it another shot, you'll have access to a great variety of mods for it.
>>526424Is the Halo mod good for it? I just want to kill heretics for the great journey.
>>528496Who knows, try it
>>528496The soundtrack is pretty good. Make sure you get some subwoofers.
Whatcha playin' anon ?
>>528570well problem is on JS star gods have insane melee dodge, I estimated guardians have about 115 melee dodge which means at 115% melee accuracy is your chance to hit them is exactly 0 and I can't imagine getting to 200% with most melee weapons, not to say crap like early clubs this is why pike is awesome it avoids all of that bullshit>>528583nope that's a peasant, gals can't fit into tanks they can however fit into armored cars and I would fit a gnome there if I had one
>>528587>JS star gods have insane melee dodgeDo they have it 360? I don't remember any particular difficulties in meleeing them, but I habitually go always from behind. And I don't play on the hardest because that's just modder trolling.
>>528624it's not 360 but psy units have back penalty halved, so attacking them from behind is only 25% less melee dodge, still a shitload
>>528587150 melee score is reasonable and 170-180 is veteran territory. With 160 melee you'll hit basic guardians roughly with every 2 attacks, so it's fine to engage them in melee with experienced combatants depending on your units positioning. It's the gray clowns who have monstrous dodge, but die to one kinetic projectile hit, who are never a valid melee target.
>>528624Yeah, they have 0 back dodge penalty.
>excellent base campaign>excellent dlcslags like shit though
>>505252R2 is actually the second most popular in terms of people playing it right now behind Warhammer 2 and ahead of Medieval 2. So I'd just ignore most of the complaints.Still, I wish it had the 3 building slots of Warhammer with the garrison building that adds walls to unwalled settlements. Would have made not playing super aggressive a more viable option.
>>522173Is it really? It's, to date, the only TW that I dropped and haven't come back to due to hating it's gameplay so much.Maybe I'll look into a Darth overhaul or something.
>>490626>excellent dlcs>load up Charlemagne for the first time>every single faction leader has the exact same voiceVAs cost too many charlemagnes I suppose
Why did they make christianity so shitty in Attila?
>>4908293K is like a mobile game tho, and it’s not a historical game at all it’s like total war Troy, plays like war hammer.
