You know what made Empire Earth so great? The amount of epochs. Name one other game that stretches from caveman to the future, especially with more than 20 individual scenarios. It was like taking all the Age of Empires, putting them together, and then improving on that with even more eras. Doesn't Empire Earth II have like 4, like an Age of Empires would? I want another game with a ridiculous number of eras. I want another game where I can march the British army against a legion of tanks only to be waylaid by an army of 1000 cavemen.

>>60405766
You can pretty much recreate Minecraft gameplay and add even more with Minetest's mods.

There are even convenience packs that add all essential mods all at once so you don't have to search for the forums for every single feature that you want.

>>60405759
Yeah, Civ is a thing. Sadly I have never been able to get into TBS games, it is way too static. I am more the type to control individual units anyway. A lone boat sneaking through a heavily patrolled lake to reach safer shores. Unless of course it is being patrolled by a bunch of Hyperions...

>>60403623
>NAME A MORE LAGGY OLD GAME IN A.D. 2017

>>60405767
No kidding. I loved the campaign itself, but even better was the scenario editor. I will admit I preferred certain areas of AoE, scripting was much more powerful in that game, but just creating a world and playing it could easily end up a lot more fun in EE. I remember one of my favorite things was always to have a Command Unit walking around and the goal being to level up from the Prehistoric Age to the point where I can start sending forces to try to stop its relentless charge.

>>60405773
I don't get why no other RTS saw the potential EE offered, though I guess I have to blame the multiplayer competitive community for feeling Empire Earth games took too long. A couple epochs was no longer all that was needed, the main reason AoE got popular was because those were the only ones being offered at the time. With EE, suddenly I could play anything I could play in any Age of Empires. Even the epochs that were the same often had more units. You know it is depressing when a game ends up being less popular than it could be because it had too much to do. It was an amazing test, one I wish had gone a different direction.

GOAT soundtrack, but just a standard RTS clone with a great atmosphere

>>60405796
Fascinating. I didn't think a game that wasn't heavily known could have that many mods. It doesn't make much sense to me that Minetest has more mods than Minecraft when the latter came out earlier and is certainly more popular (even if most of it nowadays is kids that wouldn't contribute anything).

I definitely need to check this out. I pretty much have been wandering around in my Minecraft Alpha world (which of course means survival, which I prefer), so I would be curious to see how this compares.

>>60405813
A DK2 player can't dig down at all, so you pretty much are used to going horizontal, which is mostly what I meant. Factorio seems more like a top-down game, which isn't my style as I have always loved the first person perspective. Maybe I should have mentioned that is what I always did in DK2 and one of the main reasons I played it over the first game, Persuasion on an Imp was pretty much my favorite thing to do.

>>60405995
Trust me, I know that pain heavily. Perhaps you will know how much I resent the modern gaming community if I mention my favorite game is Thief 2. That is pretty much the epitome of every first person game these days. It was massive and open, like a sandbox, but also was quite controlled and had a goal in mind. The worst thing was when they decided they needed to appeal to console players and later kill all supernatural elements (which I always considered an important part of the game that would make it feel lacking if gone).

>>60405737
EE2 had 15 epochs I think
The problem was the limited variety of units. By the time you got to the modern eras you pretty much had 3 choices for infantry. Same thing for vehicles and stuff.
EE1 was fun because you had so many different units to work with. A whole team of like 20 marines, a handful of snipers, medics, machine gunners, AT, AA and more. And then with loads of vehicle support a large varried army was unstoppable.

Also zerg rushing with snipers was OP as shit in the WW2 epoch.
Or just 50 nuclear bombers.

EE2 made up for that kind of with special civ specific units. Like Germany got a jagdpanther and the Aztecs got a cool mobile rocket artillery thing. And there were more for each epoch too.

Hmm, perhaps I was a bit mistaken. I remember playing a demo and feeling something was off. Perhaps it was the lack of units, not epochs, I was thinking of. I just remember noticing from looking at the trees that there was a lot less to do.

And then you had Art of Conquest for EE1
Which was the coolest shit, because along with adding new units and special civ bonuses for every epoch you got an extra epoch that included motherfucking space battles.
And it was so awesome, you got like SAS troops and ICBM batteries for the modern eras, a couple special ships and infantry for the eras of knights and romans, palisades for quickly put together FOBs, new campaign levels.
Shit, back in the day when this was announced I think it was literally the first thing I ever preordered, RadioShack had a thing where you could order it in advance for a few bucks off. I've still got the box and everything tucked away somewhere with my old Pentium 4 and GeForce 2 machine.

This is never a good sign. Other examples of this are Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age 2. Both were dumbed down hardcore compared to the first games, which were pretty great.
Especially how they turned Dragon Age from a modern Baldur's Gate into a super dumb third person hack and slash made me really angry.

>>60403623
Wc3 TFT was truly the best game.

The single-player Campaign was great

1vs1 standard games, one of best competative scenes, it was really hard to get good at it, tournaments were amazing. Barely any cheaters/hackers.

Patches make sense, and actually upgraded the game for better

Custom maps like TDs, RPGs, football, Azeroth Grand Prix, Uther-party, etc, lots of cool and unique maps that feel like you're playing another game

DotA, first DotA is still fucking amazing, best 5v5 game to this day, IceFrog was not a sellout, community was better than 4chan's, we had to organize tournaments, create websites to store all replays, hotkeys , fighting to keep hackers/cheaters out of the game, streaming games only with internet radio.

Playing in a team of people who think like you was fucking awesome, lots of differnet tactics, styles of play, when you execute the perfect gang, hnnnnggg, still the best feeling in the world.

6.48b still the best version of DotA, to this day

>>60406197
Trust me, I am happy for Linux users doing this. Now with Minecraft being owned by Microsoft, it makes sense that there would be an alternative with a lot more customization.

>>60406222
Yeah, I just had always heard Minecraft was heavily modded and one of the most customized games of all time. I am odd in the fact that I often search for that potential, but then never really use it. But it does make sense that it has a giant user base of kids that don't mod.

This is pretty much why I play in an offline alpha build (well, one of the reasons, the other is that you essentially need to be momentarily offline for the audio to work in early alpha releases). Kids can be difficult, they often get impatient over the slightest things and have a problem with cooperation. I tell you, I have run into too many kids saying things like "Y aren't u here? Get here" or "Hurry! Plz help!" when they need an Iron Pickaxe to make a third "kitchen" for the house (note they are beside a chest filled with plenty of Iron Ingots and sticks) and I have traveled through several cave systems to get diamonds.

Now you are talking. I think I spent more time in first person just goofing around than actually playing the game properly. Let me tell you, it was satisfying to fight the legions marching on your castle as an insane Imp going against all odds. All the rest of those cowards ran away, I would sit there and beat them up. Mind you, they often would overwhelm me, but I would be lying if I didn't say there was fun in the challenge and determination to save my base.

>>60406357
Yeah, I never really got into the RPG genre. I just cannot stand the idea of grinding. The first time might make sense for the pleasure of upgrading, but after you are used to a high level character it becomes hard to start over. RPGs suffer from the logic of making you terrible to begin with. Sure, in a FPS you start with less guns or in a RTS with less units, but in a RPG you are being told you are playing less skilled than you were before. It just feels more like a time sink with some math than anything. Plus I am horrible at stat management. I do a lot better with FPS style games.

Dragon Age and Mass Effect weren't really grind heavy games.
I only played both once, at least for a full playthrough. Dragon Age was pretty unique in that aspect, because the different classes all had unique stories at the start of the game.
I ended up playing a mage, which is what I usually do in RPGs.

>>60406746
I probably should check them out, I found KOTOR to be one of the most passive and therefore best RPGs I had touched, but found Baldur's Gate too grind-based. Though then the problem becomes, when not grind required, that the game is too easy. It is a shame, I like certain mechanics such as talking to NPCs and upgrading my gear, but having everything come down to a dice roll versus by actual ability bothers me. For example, I can load up the original Unreal and fight a Titan with just a level 1 Dispersion Pistol, even though that enemy is quite powerful and I am using the lowest equipment in the game. Skill trumps equipment in a FPS, meaning anything is possible if you can do it properly. In a RPG, it is all dependent on if the die roll hit or not. Was my Agility high enough to hit the enemy? Do I have the Endurance to take him down? I am fine with it improving as I level, but if the best player in the game still could not defeat the hardest enemy without leveling I just find it unenjoyable. Get rid of the grind, now you just got a character that levels for you against enemies you can handle, so you might as well be playing a visual novel.
