It probably is, I guess. I can reach much farther, at least by sheer "centimeter on the map" distance.
On second thought though, the colonies do have some use since the charters sometimes create a new market on completion. The trade offices are worthless garbage though.

/dfg/ - Dwarf Fortress General
Siege Edition

Previous: >>2173236

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 (53.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).

>!!NEWS!!
11/03/25 - The first part of the Siege Update was released as version 53.xx, giving besiegers (goblins and humans) the ability to dig/destroy walls, build paths, more awareness of traps and killzones, and more.

>What is next?
Bugfixing/maintaince cycle and later Siege Update Part II, which aims bring some magic into fort mode by adding spellcasters and warlocks into the besiegers ranks, and have them set your dorfs pants on fire. Also some form of magical defence for your dorfs.

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

They cut them down all the time though usually they just remove extreme and Russian ones. It's never announced, at best it's mentioned in passing in the patch notes. I think a lot of Japanese ones just got renamed but who knows if it'll ever see the light of day.

AOE2/WC3 Hybrid
I am currently in the early stages of developing a real-time strategy game that aims to combine elements from Age of Empires II and Warcraft III. Both of these titles have had a major influence on me as a player and as a designer. Age of Empires II is remarkable for its strategic depth, focus on economic management, and large-scale battles, although I have always felt it is somewhat limited in a few key areas, such as unique unit mechanics and hero-focused gameplay. Warcraft III, on the other hand, introduced those very features through its heroes, abilities, and more character-driven armies, yet it lost some of the depth found in other systems, particularly in the balance of ranged units, counter mechanics, and naval warfare.

My goal is to create a game that brings together the strongest qualities of both styles. I want to capture the grand scale and tactical complexity of Age of Empires II while incorporating the individuality, progression, and fantasy-driven personality of Warcraft III. The idea is to give players the satisfaction of building a thriving civilization and commanding large armies, while also offering memorable units, meaningful choices, and greater variety in strategy.

I would love to hear from the /vst/ community about what you would like to see in a project that blends these two approaches. Which mechanics or ideas from either Age of Empires II or Warcraft III do you think are essential to preserve, improve, or completely rework?

I am also open to suggestions for other RTS games that might serve as good sources of inspiration. Whether they are classic titles or more recent releases, I would really appreciate your thoughts on what makes those games stand out and what lessons they might offer for this project.

Thank you in advance for your insights. I am looking forward to hearing your ideas and discussing what could make an RTS like this both exciting and rewarding to play.

Won't work.
Heroes units only shine when they have a major impact on any engagement's result. That's why WCIII has it's supply system push toward using small armies as much as possible, because if the masses get too big then the heroes become just a slightly stronger shmuck.

Throwing that...

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.

Concept for an EUV Fantasy Mod
Europa Universalis is the perfect skeleton to allow for an epic fantasy mod
>you can play as a Human Kingdom, an Orcish Horde, a single Lich Lord in his tower summoning an Undead Army
>but because EUV also allows you to play as "organizations" with no land, you could also play as a secretive Order of Illuminati-like Warlocks, who have to petition Human Kingdoms for permission to build their Wizard Towers
>you can have Orcs dynamically migrate to provinces where there is low control and not enough "Adventurers", who are their own POP type - you could have an entire system where these Orcs cause bad events, build their own buildings and eventually slaughter the population and join or create their own dynamic Orc Horde tags (they also don't "spawn" from nowhere, they have to migrate there from provinces, which already have Orcs)
>coming back to the Illuminati, since EUV has a dynamic system where the Byzantines can recruit Varangians from Swedish POPs in their country, you can just use that system to allow you to recruit powerful units from these secret organizations
>you should also have hundreds of different laws to sponsor different guilds like an adventurer guild, who cause (mostly) positive events from you, which are the only way to free your provinces from really powerful monsters like Dragons for example

I am honestly more excited about the possibility EUV presents than the vanilla game itself. The game has literally every single system you would need to make this happen. You could absolutely play as Demon Cultists trying to get sponsored by real countries, creating secret bases all over the place and eventually open a portal to Hell to get a Demon Army and become a real country (while also keeping your cult abilities)

True, even the early arquebus projectiles carry a significantly greater amount of kinetic energy than a longbow arrow or a crossbow bolt. Only real downside was accuracy, AFAIK. But this didn't really matter in formation warfare, meaning firearms quickly replaced bows and crossbows.

/vst/ 4cc autumn build up
Hello /vst/, its been a while since this has been talked about hasn't it. Yeah, needless to say Spring went horribly, in fact I couldn't even post to tell you guys the cup was going on because the fucking site was down. Regardless, it didn't go well and as such /vst/ is playing this autumn. To sum up the last year of /vst/'s performance in the cup. Well, to put it bluntly /vst/'s currently more cooked than Sigurd was after the end of chapter 5 in FE4.
However, there is light at the end of the tunnel, /vst/ has found a new manager and for the first time since Summer 2023 which if I can remind you all was the last time /vst/ made an elite final day. Finally, /vst/ has a triumvirate as a management group once again and I have full confidence in the other two co managers to steer this team in the right direction

Anyways to anyone who doesn't know what the 4cc is
>What is 4chan Cup? 4chan Cup is a virtual Association Football tournament, played with AI vs AI on Professional Evolution Soccer by Konami, featuring teams made up of various 4chan boards playing against each other.

As I have already recapped the state of the team the link to the poll is here: https://forms.gle/rcq7j3QuX4fxoFbU7

Starcraft Brood War - Soulkey Avenged Edition
In less than 24 hours, Park Sang Hyun, also known as Soma, will defeat Bisu, qualifying for the ASL 20 final, wherein he will defeat Snow, thereby avenging Soulkey's aberrant defeat and keeping the title in Zerg hands for the fifth ASL in a row. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

/v3g/ - Victoria 3 General
/v3g/ is a thread for the discussion of the game Victoria 3 mainly, however discussion of other Victoria games like 1 and 2 as well as mods or even similar games is allowed.

FAQ

is discussion of other victorias welcome?

Yes!

Can I come here to complain if I never played the game?

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

Rare /vst/ games thread #2
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!

holy fuck. How do I reach him? He just sits in his and spams traders on 1 TC and after 30 minutes he finally starts making those elephants. Too bad that 90% of the time it's too late and if our team gets some early gains we lose all momentum since it's essentially 3v4. If we are on the backfoot he can't contribute since he has no/weak army. How do I teach him to play RTS?

Best city builder in your opinion?
>Cities: Skylines
Shitties of them all in my opinion. In this one you have shit like 16 people living in a skyscraper and you can't even build realistic sized cities. The traffic simulation is supposed to be good but its nonsensical (drivers are incapable of changing lanes, the game puts pedestrian crossings through roundabouts etc.).
>Cities: Skylines 2
Not even top tier computers can run this past a certain city size.
>Simcity 4
You can build massive cities in it. Its a shame that the game was designed to build american style cities though (no mixed zones, no public housing, etc.). Game runs like shit too because of its old engine.
>Citystate 2
This is the best one in my opinion. Economics makes sense and you have neat details like poor people building slums if you can't fill their housing demand either through making enough housing zones or building public housing units. There is also an entire legislation system that allows you to make anything between a communist hellhole and an anarcho-capitalist dystopia. I wish the game was moddable though.

They make even less sense when you consider that most people in FP2 were born after the great frost, and only the old people remember the time before.
Everyone should just be accepting it as the way things are.

Your thoughts on the demo? So far what's your favorite:

>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.

I do wish the game had its own personality instead of just aping everything from 3 and 5. Even 5, while it could be reductively described as "3 but in 3d" still felt like its own thing. This one does not, all it does is scream "HEY HEY I have sounds from 3! And UI buttons and some effects from 5!"
