>>539594310
HYUK HYUK HYUK

Daily reminder - space 4x with less than 100 systems suck dick.
>>539592173
Nah, it sucks dick to have such tiny ass galaxy and to have "big interstellar empire" be composed of 4 inhabited planets.
>paradrone
Swing and miss, im Aurorafag.
>>539591951
Which is retarded with MoO travel system - with freeform hyperdrive those systems would be useless, with hyperlanes many of them would be natural, important stations planets or not.

>>539479024
If you have any suggestions for friendlies or roster additions for the /civ4xg/ divegrass team let me know. A doomstack related player was suggested last thread and I've added that to the list of candidates.

Sexy cat people are absolutely realistic. You just have to believe. We'll meet them, some day.

>>539594681
we really need a rework of the roster but the general is so fucking dead that I don't know what we could add

>>539594928
Even if you don't know what players to add, you can always suggest new player models. It'll be easier once I get around to posting pictures of them and you can see how old some of the models are, like for instance Balanced For Multiplayer's model was made around the time Stellaris 2.0 came out and that's built into its model.

>>539594482
and there are some like that, for example in the map I posted the one named "incedius" has no planets, degon went nova early on and is just an asteroid field now

100 systems would absolutely be unplayable with these mechanics, and 100 is laughably tiny in the context of a real galaxy, there is no meaningful difference between 1 and 100 on a real galactic scale. unless you have in mind a way to manage millions of planets it's not realistic.

actually I think there was a game like that, after the empire or something.

>>539596087
Thanks for agreeing with me i guess..
MoO amount of systems is ass.
>after the empire
Indeed there was. It was pretty cool.

>>539598118
I'm not agreeing with you, I'm saying your superficial obsession with scale is retarded

the scale of moo is just right for the game.

>wanting to have strategic depth is "superficial obssession"
Cool story i guess.
Still, MoO sucks dick.

>>539599682
what does a million useless system add in terms of strategy?

>>539599682
complexity is not the same as depth

>>539600338
In a properly designed game?
Ability to hide, strike from different angles, need for establishing logistical chain, ability to do a proper defence in the deep, need for proper scouting, intel etc.

>>539604680
one of the downsides of free movement is you can't really have a defense in depth, thats what starlanes give you at the expense of other things.

in moo you certainly need to make a network of jumpgates to reinforce the front. you need to infiltrate spies to see what defenses they have, and every 4X ever have scouting.

so idk what the fuck you are talking about.

>>539540543
Nnnno, doesn't seem like I can.

Oh hey. No marines, but you can make fighters.
Oddly enough, the icons are people, not blueprints or the ship itself.
Odd.

Okay, I don't get it. There is... terrain of sort, with nebulas and gas cloud (why gas doesn't condense into liquid to then immediate freeze into a solid is beyond me), but also, there are... space walls?
I'm confused.

Mmm, these big health bars drop easily.
But fighters are pretty fucking useless, I think they're similar to the fighters in Gratuitous Space Battles and Sins of Solar Empires: very situational, but easily countered.

Haa, that's the building limit. Gotta keep it close to HQ.

Excuse me, "ship/biological" WHAT???

Oh fuck, the death animations are great. This game in general looks pretty good, but maybe it's my bias talking.

Oh.
Ooooh. I hope there's a way to reduce enemy armor, or else, endgame ships are going to TEAR through early game ships.
No way to recover HP so far, sadly...

Oh damn. So that's why fighters are good, they're ship, and can ignore "terrain". They can fly through asteroids, walls, and what else.
And they can only be hit by small defenses.

...ha. So that's why it's called Five Nations...

Well, fuck.
You cannot set controls ingame, you have to do it by editing a notepad document.
Since I use an azerty keyboard, I cannot set up control groups, effectively making me react as quickly as a narcoleptic yellow submarine.

Okay, heck is a caster ship?
And damn, I can tell this game is great, BUT... it has limited, finite ressources. And this stresses me.

Well, fuck.
Okay, so, there ARE ships that can heal others, they're mid-game Pasteur ships, made at the merchantport.

And also, even in easy, the AI is clever. I'm poking around to try to find its base, but it's already attacking my flanks, so...
gg

Alright, good night now.

CLEAR! *bzzzt*

>>539629768
No. Games deserve a step-by-step commentary to explain the mechanics in details.

>>539607613
>the icons are people, not blueprints or the ship itself.
Lame, but anyways, thanks for posting.
When you get further on in game, could you tell me what all sorts of ships you get in this game?

>>539629768
>REEE STOP MAKING CONTENT
>YOU'RE PUSHING MY GACHA THREADS OFF THE BOARD

>>539640248
From what I saw so far (and a little dive into the "manual", aka the wiki, dev please, move on to wiki.gg instead of fandom), there are (for the humans, mind you):
- the engineer shuttle, who do all the hard work,
- the freighter, who are armed (some xenos ships seem to have stealth instead)
For the shipyard:
- the fighters, who are cheap (50 metal), ignore terrain, but have weaponry specialized against them, and cannot be upgraded, but with proper support (aka a carrier) to protect them and repair them, they can be really good,
- the orca, some corvette thing? It can be upgraded, unlike the fighters, and it's resistant to the first line of defense, but they're a bit slower. Make a lot of them.
- the hailstorm, who is a missiles-firing ship. Little defense, bad against fighters and ships, but pretty good against defense, with a long range,
- a bomber? I couldn't play long enough to try them, I'm gonna go ahead and assume they're like fighters but even more fighters: hit harder, even less defense... They seem to be cloaked, according to the wiki, but are also a fuckload more expensive, a fighter is 50 metal, a bomber is 50M AND 75 tachyon, another ressource you mine.

For the merchantport:
- Kutuzov. It's a deployable HQ to allow forward building.
- Pasteur. It's the repair ship, with upgrade, it also regenerates shield and remove status effects. Uses energy, kinda like the Medic from that obscure game, Starcraft...
- Teller. It's a... "tactical thermo-nuclear craft"? Hell, I don't wanna know. Also uses energy, think of an AoE Yamato Cannon. Probably.
- Joseon, a support ship. Not quite sure what it does, apparently it's a pure caster. Think of the Science Vessel in Starcraft, but with a (small) cannon.

Then there's the deckyard units. I'm pasting from the wiki here:
- St. Georges, the Br*tish ship. Famous for the awful meal they serve the crew, and their obsession with tea. It's a carrier, so if you like fighters, you want one of these, or two, or three

Still for the deckyard units, there are also:
- the Avenger. It seems to have a mark II version? I'll see that when I'll get to it. It's a battleship, this thing is designed to fuck your mouth until you love it. Commanded by a woman, for some reason, I bet she speaks with a German accent.
- Dresda, some kind of "anti-shield, anti-fighter" ship? Not sure why it's so high in the tech tree, but I guess it's for when the enemy turtles so well that the missile cruisers isn't enough to break through.

Then there are also "heroes units" that I can recruitable at the HQ, but I don't know anything about them. I'll assume they're just normal units but stronger?
And what the fuck, the Renegades DLC added even more units to this? The wiki's kinda broken so I can't check these, I'll have to play the game again whenever I can.

To further explain the game, you have like... six ressources?
Metal, the basic one. An engineer will carry 7 of it at once, back to the mining plant, and it has to be ferried back to the HQ. An engineer costs 50 metal, same as a fighter. It looks like gold.
Helium-3, it's blue. Used as another ressource, mandatory to make anything that isn't a fighter.
Tachyon, it's green. Used for advanced training and research.
Energy, you get that one by building solar plants (+2/s per plant), or fusion reactors (+5/s). It has a low cap, and it's spent very quickly (I think a corvette is 75€, and every solar plant raises the cap by 200, so do the math), but it's unlimited. To my knowledge, you can't turn energy into metal or anything.
Supply cap. Build more supplies depots.

>>539643434
>Hero units
Sounds kinda like the story mode of Conquest.
In that game hero ships would have their own unique models, but you couldn't build them like normal ships.
Interestingly, in skirmish mode, while you couldn't get hero ships, you could get the individual admirals who were assigned on those ships in campaign.
You could attach them to any ship in your fleet and order them to abandon ship when needed.
Each different admiral would give some bonuses on their specific favorite class of ships, one would boost missile cruisers, another carriers, third would boost battleships, dreadnoughts and supply ships, etc.

>>539645289
>You could attach them to any ship in your fleet and order them to abandon ship when needed.
Oh, kinda like in Distant World...
In Five Nations, the hero units seem to be just fancier ships.

>>539626326
>>539628687
The old city builder player was spaghetti junctions

>>539645772
>Oh, kinda like in Distant World...
Kinda, but instead of being just a portrait in separate menu, in Conquest they were a unit on field (small shuttle) until they got assigned on a ship.

>>539646218
Neat. Anyway, yeah, in Five Nations, they're "just" fancier ships. Better stats, unique skills (like an AoE missile, or an electromagnetic pulse), and available a lot earlier in the tech tree compared to pure casters.
Also, first win.

>>539594681
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD_eV48dUZk
I remember our 8-1 victory against /pg/. It was just after stellaris was released so the team was stellaris dominated.

>>539646807
Also, that Rustom? Not in the wiki, so the DLC adds a new faction, AND more toys.

Oh. I could've just posted that and saved myself the trouble of writing >>539643176 and >>539643434.

>>539629768
/indie/ saboteur detected

>>539646807
There's something about this style of map and building placement that I find really unattractive.
But actually it's just how any RTS looks, isn't it. It's a flat, 2D RTS with no floor drawn on a distant background.

>>539648413
Sadly, yeah. And I suspect the backgrounds are randomized, because I saw some stars being closer your units than planets.

>>539648413
This is my problem with the look too, it's way too flat. Empire at War has a similar look for their battle maps but they at least give some appearance of 3D space with certain graphics occupying different z levels.

>>539652101
I think it's for the sake of clarity. If you want a 3D space game, I can suggest you O.R.B.

>>539653481
It doesn't have to be a full 3D space game, it's just minor aesthetic changes that makes the game look less stiff and flat.

Back to work.
I tire of working in France, French people are obnoxious jerks who think they're entitled to my respect because they're customers, even when they do really stupid shit.

>>539654802
Oh, so something like Sins of Solar Empire, where you can move the camera in 3D and ships do move on a Z level, just, only cosmetically?

Terra Nil is on sale. is it worth it or should I just replay Surviving Mars / Timberborn?

>>539654856

>>539664598
Agreed. And i love to hear artfags cry about it.

What are some of the most op chink shit mods for Stellaris?
Basically ones that make playing with Gigaengineering shit on max possible and actually winable.

The Empire Earth expansion is so dogshit. The took the "everything and the kitchen sink" game and figured out how to add even more to it but with even lower quality.

>>539664032
Today I'm playing as an archive robot gestalt. Obsessed with preserving the history of the galaxy it wants all the relics but is otherwise rather isolationist. Now we all know organics can't be trusted with keeping their archives in order, so if any of them have some big old relic we have to relieve them of that one way or another.

>kino galactic edge starting position

we're eating good

>>539673297
Tasty role-playing, too.

>>539674095
Yeah, sometimes Stellaris can be pretty nice with its starts
Too bad I already got some faggot breathing down my neck. At least they don't seem aggressive and being a machine gestalt means I'm shitting out a stupid amount of alloys.

>>539672493
>Stellaris ctd's when i try to open govt tab
Guess im not playing it...

>a strange pulsar with a machine world named Sterilization Hub 1A6F
Surely nothing bad can happen here

The machine world has a bunch of modifier that seriously reduce it's output, but its still a lot better than the broken ring segements with their 50% hab right now

I wish the Shattered Ring wasn't shattered.

>>539675728
That would probably be worse for a start because proper ring worlds can't produce basic resources at all.
Anyway, the machine world was bombed to hell and back for some unkown reason. It comes with it's own archeology site, so lets get digging

>>539674432
>have to fly through the badlands (nebula) to get to the nearest aliens
Is that where the original aliens came through who destroyed the robot's original empire? Who knows...

>>539675728
you can repair the broken section later

How is Stronghold Crusaders DE? I've only played the original Stronghold like 20 years ago.

>my neighbors are erudite explorer intelligent cats
That is certainly something
I also got robomodding and can no change habitability on my robots, too bad all the planets I found suck ass.
Maybe I have to take one or two from the cats

How nice to meet another machine out here in the cold of space!

I got Tropico 5. What am i in for?

>>539686228
An easy game. I haven't played higher than normal difficulty though. Once you get your town going just check the almanac for peoples needs and meet them to keep them happy. Oh and try avoiding building 4 way crossings stick to T-crossings because the traffic in the game doesn't know traffic rules to 4 way crossings can generate more traffic jams.

>>539686228
another haemimont masterpiece ruined by publishers

>>539688246
I think the game is okay. Nothing special, can be fun at times. I wished rebellion and foreign powers had a lot more bite to their actions. I like the different era thing but I think the cold war era should be the last because it was the dynamic of the cold war that allowed smaller countries to try play both sides.

>another free machine world
>on a chokepoint
>with precursor shields modifier
this run is absolutely blessed, geez

>>539690730
The Machine spirit is pleased with you for some reason.
You wouldn't have happened to generate some robo girls with AI, anon?

At last I truly understand language.

Noice, Tides of Crimson was an awesome mod, would rec for people who enjoy Civ 3. Beastmen were really fun gotta play the trolls next or Gobs.

>>539701941
For some example units I do wish they had a special city sprite for more tribal races though, but for something free I can't complain.

>>539702180
I really hate the soulless road grid
road upkeep was the best decision they made in civ 5

>>539702339
I'm sure you hate a lot more as well. But I do actually like the roads in civ 5 as well.

>>539702339

Holy shit this war for a simple relic reminded me why I hate doing Stellaris wars when not being genocidal. It took 13 fucking years, and I had to occupy every world and like 75% of systems just to achieve my wargoal.
Holy shit niggas I should've picked determined exterminator

>space pirates spawn in the system in the exact moment my transports are passing through, instantly vaporizing them
fuck this bullshit
that's enough shitlaris for a day

Mod?

>>539706285
should have had patrols
should have had guarding corvettes
also just reload

>>539706496
No, they spawn in unclaimed systems close to your border
I accidentaly destroyed one of the empires I was at war with by claiming all their systems with colonies (I honestly thought they had more colonies than 3), so my troop ships got caught in a system that had turned neutral and unexplored like 30 seconds earlier
Pure malicious swigger coding

>>539706758
>system that had turned neutral and unexplored
I like when that happens, you get to survey all the planets again.

>>539706758
Since when?
I was always under the impression that space pirates in Stellaris are just some random value that subtracts from trade if you dont patrol this shit...
They actually spawn with actual fucking ships now?

>>539707108
Yeah, I think that changed with 4.0 when they reworked trade
But they spawn a big ass fleet scaling with your own fleetpower now.

>>539707108
>now
buddy when's the last time you played

>>539707335
Like a month ago and i have no pirates spawn on me at all..
>>539707332
>But they spawn a big ass fleet scaling with your own fleetpower now.
God i hate that..
Having space pirates is such a nice way to have these smaller scale, singular engagements rather than open big fuck off warfare and every space 4x tries to make space pirates into "AI empire just one that cant be peaced or diplod with it"..

>>539762829
Pretty much all of them, but I have a fondness for real time, with unlimited ressources. If it's fantasy, bonus points.
Heroes of Annihiliated Empire, Seven Kingdoms 2 are right my jam, for example.

>>539764623
Maybe Populous: The Beginning, Rise of Legends, Age of Mythology. There aren't a lot of fantasy rts games. Maybe Cossack 3 as a history inspired one.

>>539765232
Played them all. Except Populous.

>>539766023
kill yourself

>>539766345
That's a bit harsh. Populous is old it's logical not many people have played it.

>>539646807
Do they plan to add "depth" layers like in Submarine Titans or auto-adjustable altitude like in Empire at War, or do they plan the game to be an inferior Starcraft from the get go?

>>539766952
Not all games are early access.

>>539757998
I was asleep

I finally completed this Epic Large Archipelago King game after 10+ hours... Never again. The navy warfare is cool but archipelago maps are way too slow for an epic speed and large size

>>539751807
Worldwide is a pretty good mod, lots of unique units for nations. My issue with it is that the you'll get a lot of small wonders that produce escortable units and sometimes these don't work without VP mode so you end up getting a stack of just escortable units.

Well doesn't that bode well.

Hey hey people.
Welcome to Quesadilla - Fantasy Kingdom Simulator. I might have the name wrong.
In Messada, you play as a prince, with kingly ambition, who is forbidden of leaving his bedroom because the second you walk out, horny maids throw their panties at you.
So you have to hire heroes to do your dirty work for you.

That means felling monsters, not plowing your maids.

Blackmessa plays vaguely like Driftland, in the way that you don't direct your heroes directly, instead, you plant fags deeply inside a monster's anus, and the monetary reward will influence how much heroes are interested:
- depending from their affinity (knights are more interested in defense flags, while rangers prefer to explore),
- depending from their levels (you better pay up if you wanna get Garrett, a level 1 rogue, to attacking Gromskull Whitemane, a level 99 black bear).

But we need money before anything, so let's build some lumbercamps, who will clear the map and make some delicious brouzoufs for us.

Build a fucking gallows and hang that disrespectful peasant.

The rangers are definitely hotter than in others fantasy kingdoms simulators.
And they get experience just by exploring, which is nice too. Sadly, they keep that nasty habit of fucking off once the map is fully revealed. Which can be a problem since this game features fog of war, so new monsters can pop up from the grim darkness to inhabit your rectum forcefully in a non-consensual way.

The guilds are definitely smaller in size, and feel more... I dunno, generic?
I dunno if it's me imagining it, but there's definitely a Warcraft artstyle, I see the same things in Ale & Tale, and in Godsworn, some vivid, very coloured stuff with large stones buildings.

>>539789230
I cannot bring myself to harm him, he sounds like an old friend...

I think "packed" is the word I'm looking for? There's definitely something with the artstyle that doesn't sit right by me.
Whatever, let's make an hero.

Also by royal decree, every ranger is required to sleep with the Prince to get their permit. So let me enjoy my ginger waifus.

Well, any hole's a goal, but... that took the wind outta my sails.
Anyway, game's a love letter to Majesty.

>mediocre
Yeah in bed too.
Shame this is in a different window, though.

We shielded now. I think.

The world is starting to feel less huge now that all the areas around me are getting settled and with ships sailing around.

Oh wait.

WHERE IS IAKIN NEFUD

It looks absolutely like a mobile game but i have to congratulate them for making your advisor a white silver fox AND making rangers actual hot women in bikinis.

>>539792810
No? They're not women in bikini, they have pants.
Also the advisor sounds like Majesty's advisor.

>>539792949
You know what i mean.
Its refreshing to see something else than mystery meat mutts with tarantula hair.
>that ass
Perfectly shaped.

>>539793171
Oh, that's what you meant, yeah. Through honestly, I have yet to find a game where dyed SJWs are ingame units.
And yes, this game is what I play to feel like I'm 15 again and aroused by anything.

>>539793410
Good. Seems like a cool game
>tfw i really need to install Skyrim again

>>539793935
Enclave is a port of a Xbox game, so it's not that interesting.

Second city protected.

>>539794098
That ass is tho..
>>539794671
I wish i was less autistic and have the mobile/cartoony aesthetic repulse me more as it seems all space 4x/strategy/colony builder game creators are fucking hellbent on it...

>>539795095
Indeed it is.

Among the good things Quesadilla do, showing WHY heroes aren't interested is a big plus.

stop fucking spamming
fully half the posts are your shit nobody reads

Shut the fuck up gacha faggot.

Keep posting.

>>539432472
I like this idea. Right now the perk is borderline a I Win button, having benefits build up by actions taken and reputation earned is fitting.

The game also advices to build houses. I'm not exactly sure why since I never had a pop cap issue, but hey. Free money.

The game still retains the same character progression than before, through equipement so far seem to be percentage based, so a level 20 ranger will get more out of a level 1 bow than a level 1 ranger will get out of a level 3 bow.

>knights
No. Knights are noble landlords, they are killing machines trained from their birth to murder you.
This is just heavy infantry.

As you'd expect, "Knights" have a preference for defense mission, and will accept it for less money than other classes.
This game lacks the ability to summon them all back home, though.

Oh yeah. And rogues are a thing.
Sorry, not rogues, but thieves.
During the mission, I made 4 thieves. I ended the mission with 0 thieves.

I would not recommend bothering with thieves.

Oh hey, the game changes how attack waves work. Now you're told where they come from, what's in it, and when, and you can weaken it by destroying lairs.
Compared to getting rat champions on my ass just as I build my second guild...

Forge is... a bit of a pain, it only crafts bows, swords, light armor and heavy armor.
Staffs and knives and what else are NOT made at the forge.

Wait, it's not Quesadilla or Madara or Blackmessa, it's... this.

>>539802002
Wew that is the most generic thing I have ever seen.

>>539802490
Yeah, the game is awful, art-wise, but I like the gameplay.
Like Godsworn.

>>539802002
archer tummy...

I wanted a bronze age RTS so I googled "bronze age RTS" and got this. It was cool but the AI is too retarded so when you learn how to defend and expand the AI is like a helpless babby.

Is there anything else that scratches the Bronze Age itch?

>>539805506
age of empires? which this looks like a pixelated remake of

Nice, squads are manually created now. Sadly they're very limited, only four of them. But they answer more easily to flags than isolated heroes.

>1k stars

>got bottled up six jumps out of the homeworld
Thank fuck i have cheat mods.

>>539806224
Yeah that game is definitely an AoE-like. I've been playing a lot of AoE2 in Feudal Age-only (because I hate monks and catapults and I can win by making zero soldiers, just filling up towers ever closer to the enemy with villagers), but it's too generic. I want something more specific to the drama of the bronze age and its collapse. Like sea peoples vs empires.

>>539807356
aoe2 is middle ages and plays massively different to 1, which is bronze age.

>le sea peoples
secularist cope for having to admit the cities destroyed in the bronze age collapse were the exact cities captured by joshua in the conquest of canaan

>>539807994
Thanks, I didn't realise they were so different, I probably haven't played AoE1 since 2003, I should try it again.

>>539808291
one of the big differences is aoe2 has more anti-rushing mechanics, and lategame turns into castle spam. like you said the towers are very powerful and if used offensively basically break the game. your defensive options are a lot more limited in 1.

the relics are also mobile self-driving arks (straight out of an old english legend lol) which can be captured like sheep, so there's no just sitting on relics safe in a church for the whole game

and there's also a victory condition for capturing holy sites dotted around the map

aoe2 is very turtly, between the more limited defenses and more active victory conditions 1 is a much faster and more dynamic game

Conquer or befriend - call it.

They're fully booked for friendlies.

Is Terra Nil worth a damn?

Now that robots are about to be able to be psionic and attune to the shroud, does it make any sense for spiritualist empires to be racist against them for lacking “souls”?

>>539821448
logic didn't prevent racism before

>>539819917
This is the first time I'm hearing about it, so I got no clue.

>>539819917
very cute little puzzle game
the pixel version is free

>>539819917
It's okay, a comfy puzzle game. I'd say about worth 10 or 15 euros

>>539795095
>it seems all space 4x/strategy/colony builder game creators are fucking hellbent on it
It's easiest to make the graphics for a few dozen units and buildings if everything is voxelbased or cartoon.

I tried it when it first came out, it was fine but pretty short. Dunno if more content got added.

Are you guys getting El2 in a few days?

>>539834652
Maybe

>>539834794
I was thinking the same, I'll probably watch some streams. the bad thing about 4x games is no matter what you're doing or who yoy are playing the progression is basically the same across the board so it gets old after 1-2 runs.

Where is there no fucking option to play cards wit boosted cost at their lower cost. like Galm I want to play her at 5pp not fucking 7.

>>539834652
Nah, I'm gonna be too busy with the DLC for Stellaris and SoaSE 2.

Alright lads, I am a civilization based on vampires and zombonees, which should I pick, ice, poison or life. This is purely roleplaying:

Ice pay maint. for buildings.
Poison decimates pops.
Life well grows life or pops.

is it just me or is distant worlds 2 positively glacial compared to DW1?

>>539838936
life of course

>>539774157
my legions got upgraded to sicilian swordsmen which are strictly worse

also I got used to playing with larger work radius so going back to the vanilla 20 tiles is weird
