Ok 2nd run on this fucking thing.
>155 motherfucking regimes
It should be a total goatfuck.

Sell me on this game
Assume I'm autistic

>>2081426
seconding this
Assume I'm also autistic, enjoy /tg/ stuff and gainfully employed

>>2081410 (OP)
Why did you disable majors?

>>2081426
>>2081526
Well it's a 4X, it's a mix of politics, management and war, there's rpg stuff. The setting is cool too, you're a new regime in a galaxy emerging from a dark age after the fall of a galactic empire.
Lots of customizable stuff too, so if your autism is deep enough you'll enjoy it.
I like it a lot but two things, I've never played other games of this type so my perspective on how good it is for what it is is limited, aaand I've gotten pretty frustrated with how unintuitive it can be, but that might be because of the former thing I said and not the game itself. Overall I think it's best for if you want to RP shit. I mean look it up and look at the graphics, your imagination has to do some of the work.

I picked the Robinson Crusoe option and I thought it would pit me against a hostile planet, like an isolated colony struggling for survival, I didn't consider it would just disable majors. Either way I didn't think it through si ce that premise mostly works well for something like a city building sim, not this game.

So actually I shifted on what I was doing and I started rolling until I got a bunch of populated zones. I'm gonna go planetary conqueror. I'm gonna see if having no majors and focusing all on minor diplomacy pays off. After all those are the factions that you can convince of unification, client state status, protectorate status, etc. After all, it's a huge planet with 155 factions, I'd say it's a lot of room to experiment in building a huge empire out of that.

>>2081808
>>2081812
It's gonna be boring as fuck.

>>2081886
Your mom is boring as fuck.

>>2081954
If you think endlessly grinding the same handful of minor factions over and over again with no way to actually lose is fun, i don't really know what to say.

Play multiplayer. Set yourself free

Any good places to set up casual PBEM games? One of my friends has it but it takes him forever to get turns done, to the point where I'm forgetting what I was doing last time I played.

>>2085060
There's an official discord

>>2085127
Thanks anon

All you need to know is that it has bazillion modifiers and absolutely ASS UI

>>2087990
Yeah this is a more succint description.

>>2082397
Fuck off, MPnig beggar.

>>2081426
The atmospheric thickness and gravity of the planet you generate are extremely important to how effective aircraft you produce are and have impact on what technologies you use with them.

You will never be a real Shadow player.

Mad Max and 40k theme. 4X elements mixed with wargame and rpg. Heavy logistical element with truck, trains, fuel and ammunition. There's even a private economy. Customise your own units. Every planet is randomly generated and simulated, with history, plant life, regimes, even aliens. Soon a politics DLC is releasing.

>first game
>didn't think about this
>develop aircraft
>they have an operational range of like one or two hexes
>wtf this shit is useless
It was very disappointing.

>>2090069
The autistic adherence to realism in planet generation does hurt the game

After figuring out the basics I've decided to give Hard a try and the game proceeded to promptly kick my ass
In my last attempt all my infantry was constantly at risk of getting eaten by 1.5k+ large packs of man-sized carnivorous frogs and what I think are supposed to be land-octopus-things
The previous attempt ended after my neutral neighbor took half of my territory near the first city and then promptly demolished me with GR walkers
I might try pushing for more infrastructure first before expanding

Extremely stupid question how do you raise up another battalion?

>>2090367
Anon, read the fucking manual.

>>2081410 (OP)
Is there any way at all to set parameters for world generation so I don't have to re-roll 10000 times for my super autistic niche world?

>>2091529
No.
Vic hates fun.

If I already like SE will I like this?
