/dfg/ dwarf fortress general /vst/
Previous: >>2131078

Avaliable for free at https://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/
or as a paid premium version on Steam or Itch.io

>What is the difference?
Both are the same game on the same version (51.xx). The free version uses ASCII as a tileset (but you can mod other usermade tilesets and graphic packs)
With the premium version you pay for a premium tileset + premium OST + access to beta branches and steam integration (if on steam).

>What is next?
Fort mode siege mechanics changes, rework and general spice up is the next update. Hatches and doors no longer stop invaders, and constructed walls vulnerable confirmed so far. Ranged combat reworked in the most recent update.
End of Lua beta and merge into the main branch

>What has changed since I last stopped playing X years ago

Why is the game not doing any automated trades for me?
Market automation doesn't want to make new trades. I tried turning automation on and off. Tried turning it off for a couple months before turning it back on. There are a bunch of profitable possible trades. I tried removing all manual trades and setting all trade capacity to automatic. None of these worked. What do I do? My save is being bricked by this shitty bug. Pic rel is my trade screen after months of waiting for the automation to start doing something.

I genuinely wish there was a game that was based ONLY around this early phase of every civ game where you explore the map, expand your borders and grow your economy without the part where some agressive player rapes you. Preferably with more detailed economy.

This game has spoiled me as far as QoL in gaming goes

I don't care if you like it or not, if you're a SucKom moldy sandwich hugger or campaignlet or whatever, what I'm saying is that the QoL that this game has introduced is by far the best experience in controlling anything in an RTS and makes me uncomfortable to play anything else now. I want this level of easiness to play to another game like Age of Empires or even Starcraft clones. Runs on any potato seamlessly with 8v8 people as well, looks incredible, is a proper sandbox and supports modding as well on top of being free.

But I don't want more BAR. I want others to realize how much they have been sucking lately and how mogged can they be. I want more RTS with different flavors and rules in my life, not only more TAs, but with this level of quality.

What are you favourite classes? There are loads of great ones, so I can't decide which one I like the most. I ended up liking the Witch and Cloud Lord a bunch which I was surprised by.

Civilization thread /vst/
I know I'm late, but I finally tried Civ VI with all its DLCs, holy moly the downgrade.
Civ V(anilla) still invictus.
Not only it's more tedious, but the DLCs don't add anything fun, immersive (they just unnecessarily overcomplicate things for the sake of it, to make you waste more time while trying to trick into thinking the game is more deep when it's not) and the artstyle is kinda shit.

At some moment it becomes good, fun or I need overhaul mods?
Is Civ VII worth it?

PD: when the gameplay (specially the combat) is going to be like in the cinematic trailers (massive cities, massive armies, massive world to 4X'd)?

Rare /vst/ games thread #2 /vst/
ITT: Strategy games that no one besides (you) have played. Recommend rarities and discuss games that you vaguely remember playing as a kid or seeing in a magazine that one time.
Continued from: >>1919459

I'll start: Conflict Zone.
Early 00's strategy game that I haven't seen anyone mention in my entire adult life. I remember it being unique because you public opinion was a key currency. As totally-not-NATO that involved airlifting civilians out of conflict zones, and as the bad guys it involved sending TV crews to film you blowing up enemy troops and enemy atrocities. The better your rep, the more advanced units you could bring in. Actually pretty surprised few games tried to make public opinion part of gameplay. Not a great game, but certainly a mechanically unique one.

Your turn, anon!

What's next? /vst/
So, given fairly successful release of EUV it is certain that no Paradox shutdown will be happening in foreseeable future. That begs the question - what's next? Both Stellaris and HoI4 will be decade old next year. And while HoI4 is still very popular, Stellaris is falling more and more behind while getting plagued with technical issues, bugs, shit performance and the botched 4.0 rework. Maybe We will see Stellaris 2 announced next year? Or will they just keep milking these games until last drop? Any other ideas?

No

Are the dlcs worth it?

Some are, some aren't
Like all paradox games it depends on what you want, ask around

What do I do at the start of the game?

Build up a supply of construction goods to reduce construction costs

How do I reduce the price of a good?

Subventions are the easiest way to do it, otherwise you have to produce the good yourself or get a deal with a power that produces said good

Why are my states not buying anything from the market!

States need trade centers to reach the global market, a trade center needs access to a port to function
Meaning if you are landlocked you might have to go to war or sign a treaty

I signed a transit treaty with a country and my trade centers still won't trade?

That is because you need merchant marine to trade, which is produced by ports
If you have no ports of your own you need to "buy" merchant marine by signing a goods transfer treaty with another power

Why is russia being a dick?

Because they can, what are you gonna do about it?

is creamapi for this game safe and functioning?

Yes and yes, provided you get it from cs rin ru

Stellaris Thread- Thoughts ? Concerns ? Shitposts ? /vst/
I noticed no Stellaris threads on the board. I know 4.0 was a huge fuckup but I at least expected some talk about the new Psionic Expansion. How you fellas feeling about it. ( If any of you guys are even bothering to still play it lol). Is the UI update doing it for ya ?

Thread 2164048 /vst/
It seems that going "wide" always eclipses any sort of "tall" build and that no amount of upgrading will ever save small empires from wider ones.
In oldschool RTS like C&C it's obvious because those games don't have upgrades, so all you can do is build more.
That's why I'm wondering how a strategy game could make tall builds viable.
Even games that do have global upgrades usually cap out at +2 or +3, like StarCraft. In Dawn of War, you can upgrade your Space Marine health and damage a little bit but never enough to make true super units.
I understand why this is being done for balancing reasons and all that, but it seems there is no game that rewards a turtle player who successfully fights off rushes and then techs up. It technically works in StarCraft but not because of the teching, it's just because the rush player is too far behind after you counter him.

Stronghold Crusader comes close because you can find ways to survive and defend even when your farms are being raided, but it has no teching.
In the end, you won't be able to keep up with the attacker.

Your thoughts on the demo? So far what's your favorite:
>faction
>unit
>hero

Personal I found myself gravitating toward Dungeon the most. It got some really nice line-up. I think minotaurs and medusas are my favorite. In term of heroes I don't have yet favorite, but I like the dragon guy from Dungeon and the black armored guy from Necropolis.
