Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad and Rising Storm

Probably the most historically accurate and authentic WW2 game out there at the moment

>>2365196
When did he say that?

>>2365459

The economy is significantly tweaked so you don't have absurd numbers of stacks in the first 50 turns, the AOR system, religious conversion is realistic and actually takes fucking time, the unit models are gorgeous and there was clearly a lot of research done about the period when they made it, a lot like an EB for the Middle East.

Also you start out the game with your good units so powerful empires are not usually shitty militia at the start and everyone gets their cool units right off the bat.

>>2365482
We probably played together if you attended the events yesterday and the day before. Too bad the mod isnt more popular

>>2365497
What mod? RO2 is a game.

>>2365494
Do campaigns still devolve into map painting grind fests with dozens of stacks everywhere? What's so special about the AOR system, I've come across a few in other mods but they've always just been "slightly more OP version of standard troop because muh Constantinople." I appreciate a slower religion game, but is it still all about parking a priest on a map or city and waiting?

The unit models do look great though. I played an early demo of it years back, but haven't looked at it since. Pic related is the only thing I really remember coming out of the submod.

I really liked Dominions 3 and 4. What are some games that I might like? I've never played Civilization.

>>2365044
Get Stainless steel for a fantastic experience.
>>2364590
Attila TW is great. Nothing like migrating, wandering, and looting around. CHnaging religion also added a nice touch. Too bad that it still has so many flaws.

R8 groscambodiums

I HATE NIGGERS LOLOLOLOLOLOL

>>2365518

whats special about this AOR system is that your ability to produce your native units is restricted by territory, and outside of those set territories you can only recruit the local AOR troops. For example the ERE can only recruit its native Varangian axe infantry in its starting territories, and outside of Anatolia and the Northern Levant you won't be able to recruit native Byzantine troops at all, aside from a building you can build in major cities called a Kastron which allows you to recruit some native troops like Kataphracts and Sparthatoi (every faction has a similar building but its called something different).

As for religious conversion, only the higher level churches can make priests and actually convert people, the others just provide a public order bonus. Religion is overall a lot more fleshed out, with Orthodox, Catholic, Shia, Sunni, Kajic Islam (that was a thing apparently) Pagan and Hindu factions.

>>2365578

What that AOR system also means is that replenishment is harder then base Medieval 2 and with the high recruitment and upkeep costs one battle can often decide whether a faction lives or dies.

The Combat Mission games are honestly fantastic, I just wish they weren't so damned expensive.

>>2365459
>>2365494
>>2365518
>>2365578

Why are the vast majority of Medieval II mods paced so slowly and everything is so expensive? I hate waiting 5 turns and spending 4500 florins on dirt fucking roads. I love the attention to detail and the tweaked economy and all that but I can't stand taking forever to build simple infrastructure.

>>2365560

>Stainless Steel

>Not Bellum Crucis

jk SS is good too!

Why do I never see Inquisitor mentioned? Inquisitor is the tits.

>>2365588
Early modders were obsessed with expanding the map and turn times to the point where anything close to CAs original pacing is practically heresy.

>>2365608
That was very rude

>>2365588

People got mad that Vanilla is so fast and quite frankly shit with the clearly superior Catholic Factions. I would Argue that SS is a good fit for you as it tones down the economy autism (I would make sure to turn off real recruitment though as that slows unit progression to a crawl.)

>>2365482
>Red Orchestra 2

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>2365624

too bad its fucking dead except for Darkest Hour.

>>2365588
The mod scene could use some fresh eyes at this point, someone with some insight on board game design. Most modders back then were really focused on fixing CAs bugs and pushing the engine to its limits, so things got a little crazy with unit mods, new maps, and scripting.

>>2365631

That's why when I play Medieval 2, I try to last as long as possible without blobing (playing as Milan and trying to keep Italy all for yourself was very fun, and somewhat annoying. Fucking Venetians.)

>>2364780

Zaka su Dalia!

>>2365760
I like to turtle in Northern Italy as Milan, building up a ridiculous economy for a few turns while holding everything at bay with smaller but superior forces.

Love to turtle as Milan. Motherfucking crossbowmen kills sieges. I remember losing most of my army to a siege against the >HRE, but my remaining four divisions of Milanese crossbowmen wiped out their army. Fucking Hilarious shit.

I concur the sea jews are fucking bastards. However, I will admit their heavy infantry is the shit.

>>2365782
I also enjoy to turtle up in Northern Italy as Venice. It's easy for the cities to defend each other. By the time gunpowder first comes I'd already have two barracks fully upgraded and pump out musketeers and pikemen. After this I like to show the rest of the world how I already graduated Medieval II and upgraded to Empire Total War

>>2365619
My big problem with the game is that I just get burned out so quickly. It was one thing to expand as Rome across the map, but even that got a little stale. The civil war aspect at least helped. But in M2TW it just feels weird and boring to take any of those factions and cover half the map.

Been looking for a new mod to play that isn't Stainless Steel 6.4 or Europa Barbarorum II. Every time I really get into EB II I get a certain distance in my game and a new massive patch with new tweaks and army reforms comes out and of course they are NEVER save game compatible.
