Ded general: the general.

I'm gonna stop making this general.. it was nice knowing all 5 of you

We could try to combine with /domg/
That's a 4x as well I think

>a general so dead you have to actively beg for memes

So how do I stop Civ 4 from crashing when playing C2C? I'm in the middle of the classical era at around 800~ turns and each turn takes about a minute and has a tendency to crash randomly.
I turned down all the graphical options to low and it seemed to help a bit at least.

Why are Civ and 4X games in general so dead?

>>127973943
Not casual enough for normies
Not hardcore enough for autists

Tips for a newcomer to Fall from Heaven/Rise from Erebus?

>>127974763
ai is about as aggressive as a dead sloth even on deity in rfe so you can get away with doing whatever you want

Tothe anon in previous thread about cultural victory irl

You mentioned that something fucked up in top score, isnt top score in 2050?

I am assuming ISIS would be arabian special forces since they get no identification thing and their spies are constantly provoking rebelions and change of civics in other countries due to huge amount of money collected from trade of oil, and the need for war.

I'm losing wealth in Aurora and I'm really not sure why. What do I do?

Anyone play Age of Mythology? I'm a massive fan of the game, looking to make more butt buddies for playing friendlies and not-so-friendlies.

>>127978443
i play it but i on a pirated remake version
i still have a physical copy of the originan and exspansion
also, should we join with /gsg/

It's funny because you think the two are compatible

>>127983641
Personally i don't understand they put Rance in the picture but don't like civ

>>127988736
Civ 5 is a shit game desu

>>127973943
strategy games in general are

even sc2 is dying. casuals prefer mobas and there hasn't really been a well received big rts release since 2010. I imagine mobas are just a phase though, there'll be another big thing coming soon, I can't see the genre having any longevity.

>>127989452
It is like we back to old years. New generation prefer simple playstyle and some older generation still blinded with nostalgia. I just want my virtual reality asap.

What the fuck is endless space 2? Why?

Denmark in Civ5 sucks too much? Like will i be able to fuck up someone playing babylon?

>>127989452
With the amount of money involved in ASSFAGGOTS I think it's here to stay for a long time.

>>127991726
Generally civ in civ5 not balanced so people usually choose weaker civ so they can enjoy difficulty in game. If you want enjoy easy mode in deity you can choose Poland or Korea first then go slowly to other civ.

OH FUCK, Monty's an ass. Just because I don't want to open borders - and deal with all the horse shit his dirty explorers will dump on my lands - he destroys me. Should probably have opened borders. Hey I outlasted the Spanish, though.

>>127991726
It's en sequel to ES 1 or more like a remake as it will decanonize most of ES 1. Bigger, badder and better at least supposedly.

>why
Cause the first one sucked ass and was limiting the lore development of the endless universe.

>>127983641
>>127987458

I fucking tried to merge us again Thursday night. And at first some of the guys over there didn't care and I talked about endless legend some with some guys and then they freaked out, had a poal.me and then we were kicked out once again. I merged us with RTS and it didn't seem like it mattered. It's dead, it's been getting slower each time the thread is made. It's a dead dreams lads.

>>127992419
i'm tired of them that's why i ask about denmark, my friend is retarded so he plays only babylon and i don't wanna lose to him.

I am yet to find an rts as fun as this since it's release. axis are op as fuck in it, but otherwise it's probably my absolute favourite.

>>127993983
Romans/Poland/Mongolia

Poland and Mongolia = Settle where a lot of horses so you can do a lot of UU.

Romans just good enough to expand, because UA and Legio can build roads, so basicly you need a lot of Iron.

>>127994109
Does it hold up? I love WWII but I didn't know if it was worth getting it or not

>>127993983
oh fuck you mean religious way... Then Aztecs pretty good and others that i already called, just take liberty after that take honour find camp and farm it or better two. Take piety and double faith from shrines, than finish liberty and honour. So you now gonna make a lot of gold/faith/culture due to killing barbarians that spawn from camp and enemy civs. At least thats how i played Denmark with Religion+Domination.

>>127994284
surprisingly so. the graphics, although obviously old, hold up pretty well and looks much better than other games from that period (DoW 1, empire at war, rome tw etc etc). the gameplay is exceptional though, the resource capturing style is a little strange at first, but it plays really fluidly with perfect population limits (in the sweet spot halfway between DoW 1&2).

still has a relatively large playerbase for a ten year old game too, with about 2000 regular players on steam.

I'd definitely recommend buying it, the sequel is a bit off though (the minimap is horrific and the screen is always a little too clustered). I am though obviously a biased source, but it is the highest rated rts on metacritic.

Every game I steamroll in to scientific victory. I have been playing on 5 difficulty. Should I up the difficulty or remove science as a victory condition?

>>127994960
play multiplayer if you want a challenge you fag

>>127993487
Try going for domination or cultural victory instead. You can't win science with babylon. When you losing with science going to money route. Found religion quickly for Tithe and then grab a lot money from follower and trade. Then you can just buy tons of army and attack babylon before he get to next era.

Try starting with Honor and don't playing tall.

>>127994284
You should try Men of War, preferably with a fuckhuge mod that adds better penetration mechanics, like GSM for MoW:AS2.
Oh, and all the games past Faces of War are essentially the same.

>>127995304
I've looked at men of war but thought it probably wasn't all that good but I'll have to check it out. How was does it do accuracy? Like historical wise

>>127995304
yeah this too, although it takes a little more tism to get into.

I honestly don't know a legit torrent for it. Just look around to see if there is one. I make money so I usually buy my stuff. If you find one, link it so I can put it in the OP next time the thread gets archived. So later in the day.

Just mess around and re learn it. Maybe quill18. He's a cuck but he's been playing it lately I think.

>>127960705

>>127998738
I usually like to watch LPs from people who like challenges, play on max difficulty, not necessarily entertainers. (exactly how I play)

Aurora isn't exactly a popular game. There are some good guides but I dunno about LP's for it.

I play grand strategy as well, turn based is not that bad I promise you. It's just like pausing a lot and it always being paused.

>>128000160
The thing is, I just really really like the kind of way paracox game does things.
But I have no idea what aurora is like, I wonder how they do turns.

>>127999629
Another one clusterfuck spreadsheet simulator? Meh. It's nice when game is detailed, but when there too much fucking tables it's horrible.

>>128000320
Turn based isn't bad at all. I enjoy it myself. Paracuck games are interesting in that regard, but eu4 and ckII are shit so might as well play something turned based. That or stick with vicky2

>>128000427
>but eu4 and ckII are shit
I am a viccy 2 fag myself, but I really like CK2.

You have to try to roleplay a bit though. And with that I mean something different than just restoring the Roman Empire and moving your capital to Rome (eww).

>>128000340
It's honestly not bad. Once you get the hang of it, it's a lot of fun.

>>128000549
Lad I've roll played hard. It's just too long to be honest. It's fun, but the mechanics can be shit sometimes. I prefer v2 and I

Is endless legend any fun?

I played it for about one hour but didnt have any fun, I'm not sure if I should refund it or if it gets better.

>>128001068
Only cucks "roleplay", rollplaying is what any decent player should do.

>>128001678
It's fun. You just gotta actually play it. Mess around with the factions and see what you like. They all play different. If you like MP there's sometimes an anon who sets them up. Are you playing vanilla or have the expansions?

Community Balance Patch ain't bad, it has some good stuff like the Nations' special abilities but I'm starting to dislike how they have changed the diplomacy.
It is nearly impossible to push another civ to start a war and eventually they will team up and declare war on you like you were Hitler.
It feels like it was made for a domination victory in mind.

Don't care whether a person is gay/straight or whatever else. It's the incessant nonsensical posts that are (more importantly) devoid of content.

Not trying to be harsh, guilty Anon, but go play some games and then come back and report in.

Can this thread stay alive for like atleast a day it's really fucking saddening how fast these die

civ 4 question

in multiplayer, everybody plays domination, and its impossible to win otherwise?

>>128031090
You can win otherwise but people usually just gg out when someone's way ahead in science and has a big enough tech+army lead that he can't be beaten even if everyone goes for him at the same time

Anyone up for a game endless legend?

We have 2 already.

contact tuttyfruity on steam

doing the age of wonders tutorial now. I've found that the in-game encyclopedia is pretty lacking, basically what's written in the tooltip is all there's in it. Like I would've liked to know how wooden walls affected my city, but it's just "it gives ur city a wood fence LMAO".

pretty sad desu, game is fun FOR NOW tho.

Fear not, if this dies I'll make a new one (: and then it'll die and it'll be great

>>128041434
Does this support us free men of the seas or just the steam version?

>>128042639
That's pretty much it though, if you have done a battle already it gives a literal wooden wall in between your troops and theirs which you can use as cover for your troops.

It has some bonuses to ranged attacks and such too though.

>>128043064
wait is every battle instanced then? I thought there might've been an autoresolve outside the tutorial other than the instanced auto-battle

>>128043245
There is auto resolve but ye every battle can be played in the actual battle screen.
Chances are if the enemy is at the gates you probably want to play it out by hand, in which case you literally do get a wall for your guys

>>128043494
so it isn't taken in consideration if doing the overworld auto-resolve? No defense modifiers for likelihood to win?

>>128043641
I dunno, probably I don't see a reason why it wouldn't be.

This actually reminds me can we talk EL difficulty? I just got into the game and am about to finish my first playthrough and I have been playing on normal and the game felt pretty easy despite playing my first game honestly. I have previously played civ5 on the highest difficulties. How dose the difficulty system work in EL?

Dpn't ouy fucking die on me

guys...

>>128067437
AI gets bigger bonuses the higher difficulty you go. Higher FIDSI, lower upkeep, lower costs, more approval, etc.

Does anyone wanna play EL in an hour?

>>128071371
so basically same shit as Civ 5

If I have a gauss cannon range of 60k, a beam fire control range higher than that is unnecessary, right?

>>128071870
Essentially, yeah.

>>128071719
I'm cautiously interested but I literally haven't even finished 1 game against AI so I don't know if I'm comfourtable playing against players yet. I don't even really know what all the factions do

So I have the base Endless Legends game, what dlc do I get? Should I upgrade to the Emperor Edition? or should I not bother with any of them?

>>128081849
they're all actually pretty good in their own right, the problem is they're all different

if you get any really the order (and reason) is
shadows (new faction) > guardians (quests/events) > lost tales (quests) > emperor edition (only if you have Dungeon of the endless) > echoes (doesn't add much, good music though) > emperor edition

id say wait for a sale for most of it though, everything but echoes and lost tales goes on sale 66%, and those two are already at 25%. if you feel like you need dlc to keep wanting to play though, get one of the bigger two, since they actually change the base game.

really everything is worth it, they all make the game better, but echoes of auriga and emperor edition are the only two that really arnt worth full price

MAYBE UPDATE THE FUCKIN STEAM GROUP PAGE U LAZY KIKES

X3 was great. Too bad for its sequel.

I hope ES2 will focus a bit more on ground combat which I've found rather lacking in ES1. Also is that Auriga showed in the trailer?

It's dead, Jim.
Maybe Endless Space 2 will revive it, otherwise we just gotta wait for Civ VI

Game is getting boring. These win conditions take too long to reach? Should ramp up difficulty for next run. I'm playing normal now, first playthrough so didn't wanna go crazy with the difficulty yet. Think I'll do the same thing I did with Civ 5 and just increase difficulty and map size by one notch each every time I complete the previous one.

Does settling on hill give you a defensive bonus in Civ 5?
Is it ever worth to move your starting settler and delay your capital by a turn or two ?

>>128105765
It does. I doubt it's ever worth delaying capital by two turns but delaying by one turn is entirely fine if it's truly worth it. Just evaluate your options properly

I think this is the most relevant thread for my question?
As a kid I really enjoyed games like Pharaoh and Anno 1602 (and, sortof related, RCT). Slowly building my shit without too much micromanaging or fighting. Are there any more recent games like this? I'm getting too old for the really fast paced or complicated stuff.

Ceacar series could be for you if you like Pharaoh

Lethis as the other guy linked is one of the better new releases.


How about some other stuff like Rollercoaster Tycoon, Cimcity 4/Cities Skylines, Prison Architect or that kind of stuff.

>mon visage quand when I'm France

why do most people put cities 4-5 tiles away not 6-7 tiles away to maximize the tile consumption for population?
seems kinda inefficient when in late game when 3-4 of your cities are having short on tiles and gimping your city gains from food/prod

>>128137323
Because specialists.

>>128138075
elaborate

>>128138459
Specialists take citizens to use.

>>128137323
Early game is more important than optimal late game set up

And it's not even that inefficient, most of the time 2 cities are just as good as 3 cities on the same number of usable tiles, 3 cities might even be able to pick up some extra tiles if placed right.

>>128135286
Yes. Still the same game, though, no fundamental changes to fix it.
They did.

I know Endless Space isn't the best space 4x out there, but I like it a lot. Still working on an Impossible victory as the Harmony. Last time, I got sandwiched between the two superpowers: Sheredyn and Sophons. Only had 6 systems, only one resource monopoly, and the Sheredyn kept blockading my only source of Hexaferrum so I couldn't even build big tanky ships.

God damn it.

>>128142679
I can't even imagine playing on impossible, I got my shit kicked in so hard on hard last time I reverted back to normal just to refine tactics.

Also what would be the best 4x space round based game in your opinion? I got Master of Orion II somewhere but played it to death, StarDrive II, but not in the mood for that and Endless Space right now.

What mods do you guys play with on Civ 5? I get bored of Civ 5 quickly since it's easy and/or slow and I get bored.

I usually run the communitas mod pack + some minor mods to make AI more aggressive but I'm wondering if you guys use any other mods that are fun.

>>128157842
I'm gonna try the Superpowers mod. It seems like a lot of fun.

Does anyone know how to make Sorium harvesters work in Aurora 4x?
I just made a fleet of 3 harvesters that can hold 20,000,000 fuel each and now Earth doesn't have any fuel. I had to equalize the fuel because 1 ship didn't even get any fuel.
How the hell do I give most of it back? Also how do you automate it?

>>128191279
Whew.
Figured it out. I don't think it can be automated though. Not in the way you want anyhow. It'll just drop the fuel on the nearest thing marked "colony" and pretty soon you'll have an asteroid that's mostly and explosive ocean.

>>128192112

Anyone help please.
Pls don't be ded.

Err, nevermind... again.
Had to tick the "tanker" box in the ship design screen to make it go away. I don't want it to be an actual taker that other ships refuel from, but that's not really an issue.

>>128183935

The wiki is a crapshoot on how patient you are with clicking refresh and not getting 508 errors.

one of the most important things you need to realize if you havent already is, not every tech is good, even if its a faction tech, and not every unit is good, even if its a faction unit
it might not be the best, but its completely optional for a drakken to field 8 of his starting unit, but absolutely retarded for a cultist to do the same

from the sound of it, reroll. depending on what you are and what you're next to, even having a 1 region buffer could fuck your start over

It's not a 4x..

>>128215821
it's pretty barebones, but it is

AOW has good tactical combat but it throws so many battles at you that because the battles take so long (up to 42 units in one battle) you are guaranteed to get tired of manual combat real quick. AOW is a wierd game. HOMM strikes a nice balance between depth and fun. AOW goes overboard with the battle and is just tedious.

>>128215905
that especially after the battles play out basically the same. It's really a shame

SR2 is no longer in dev, its also a lot more fun than most 4X imo.

Indeed a shame because the battles are actually quite good (when there aren't too many). There is something wrong with trying to be a 4x with settlers spam, decentralized production, slow movement per turn and HOMM rpg elements like XXL map containing hundred of neutral camps, heroes and long epic battles.

If AOW put more focus on campaigns and scenarios and heroes actually matter more aka Romance of the Three Kindgoms/Nobunaga's Ambition then you would have a really smooth game. Alternative if it had improved 4x elements and a less elaborated tactical combat it would be something cool and new (the battles in current 4x games are really weak).

MUH DICK.

I feel like the thrash battles are done way better in HoMM series. Not only do the enemy units surrender easier but since your army is composed of stacks instead of individual units losing 2 halflings isn't such a big deal. Meanwhile in AOW the units gain experience and are more irreplaceable in that sense and auto battle often loses troops it shouldn't compared to the manual grind.

Does BE now not suck with the expansion, or it's still shit?

>>128223726
I heard it's slightly better but still subpar to EL or Civ5

>>128223726
Don't buy they are already working on Civ VI so it's more or less confirmed to be abandoned.

I'm finding use for terraforming installations in my game. Since Luna built shit tons of it's own infrastructure I can just cart that to whatever planet and I'm good until the 50 installations get the job done in 5 years.

I am however super super fucking pissed that they don't work on Venus. Gotta have ships for that. So now I have 20m assholes on Venus with no way to make them stop growing and they complain about being at capacity all the time.

>>128229864
I prefer the installations too for RP purposes but the ships are more flexible in their use and work fine on targets like Venus

>>128230167
I think it's up to your engine technology. If you have magneto drives or better then you can build ships that haul more than 1 terraforming installation. Until then it's really easy to build the regular installations on Earth and use nuclear powered cargo ships to move them.

Also you can try orbital habitation + installation combo too if you like.

Does weaponless PDC add protection level?

You can see the PDC in the design window.
No
