RTW is still my favourite battle game. I really dislike the new games campaign map, so cluttered and hard to see wtf is going on.Never really liked Medieval 2 either.
Also, I played the new ones and I don't like what they've done to generals and the family tree, as well as the battles. AI might be better but the battles are less fun imo

Does this game still have hoarders who will take up all the food and starve everyone else? That always pissed me off in the early game since you have to have basically everyone working at food production at that stage.

Pretty much the best tactical simulation we have for modern battles, but it's still bad in terms of AI and recon. UI also sucks hard, but that was improved in Mius Front.

>>2995856
I've played like 300 hours of HoI4. Base game is already pretty good in my opinion, and they've patched out most of the autistic stuff you had to do to play on release. Plus there's a lot of mod support that make minor countries more interesting, and allow for alternate maps/scenarios which extend the life of the game a bit more. I would recommend it. It's much simpler than EU4, but since it's a Paradox game, expect to spend a good deal of time learning how to play. None of the DLC is necessary so far.

My only real complaints are details like unrealistic casualties (they actually call them "killed", and 40-50,000 men didn't die in ACW battles), and artillery is kinda underwhelming, but then again I read that artillery only caused around 10% casualties in ACW.

The economy is not hard to figure out at all.
The problem is that money ends up being worthless in the game as it is too easy to come by. A game that is supposed to be about industry becomes a game of who has the largest population to kill the other, as there is no benefit for huge amounts of gold

Gonna be a bit contrarian on this one. Mostly because instead of a video game based on history, I have two that use *applied* history

Kicking it old-school, the Genso Suikoden JRPG series involves learning about neighboring countries. The pinnacle would be the last game in the series, Suikoden V, that has a lot of naked politics playing before your eyes.

The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim is also great because you have to navigate various cultures in the now as well as get some basic understanding of the ancient Dwemer culture

Now they're all gone, I can't capture new ones and don't wanna sit around idly sailing the caribean for trade-materials to build one.

Those cultures in game are so shallow though, better off just reading shit at the Imperial Library than actually playing the game for that

>>3004251

Not only is it not /his/ related, but the cultural lore and writing is so eye blindingly shitty I don't even know where to begin. Try at least Witcher 3 instead, there's a much deeper cultural development than "these guys have pointy ears and love eating potatoes".

If they are financially comfortable they will promote, leaving those who can't get their everyday needs fulfilled behind, and rebellious.

Also, once I played, the POPs needed cheap clothes and furniture, so I built a lot of those factories, subsidized them, and allowed the POPs to purchase from the stockpile in order to simulate govt-subsidized goods. No, the capitalist fuckers sold them abroad instead. In a complete welfare state. FUck. I have no clue anymore about its economy. Anyone can help me? I'm playing HPM mod.

Oh yeah, forgot my favorite one.

There's no way to embargo other countries because all goods go through the World Market middleman. Which means that your factories will sell guns and tanks to countries you're at war with and there's NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.

thats sad. is there any game for that era worth playing?

Fallout 4 isn't great. Main problem this time around is the voiced player character, so you get four dialogue choices at any given time, which usually amounts to:

>Yes
>No, but actually yes

So that's a bit limiting. The writing and overall plot's not exactly stellar either. At least the Combat's better?

incorrect. Factories ALWAYS sell to domestic and sphere PoPs first, and leftovers go on the world market. Thats why sphereing is important, you get access to their RGOs and you have a larger market you have first sell rights to.

The problem with Kaiserreich is, that the Germans run out of manpower after one war. They can defeat the french, but then they are a complete push over.

In my Canada game I liberated Britain and then landed in France and then the Germans imploded due to that after I had worn myself down liberating the western part of the country wearing my divisions down to less than 50% manpower.

Other than the usual Paradox and Total War games, I'd recommend TESIII: Morrowind. It's a fantasy RPG, but it always had a different feel to it than most fantasy games. It's heavily inspired by historical events and if you're a historyboo, you'll catch a lot of subtle references.

Also, with the massive amount of jewing Rockstar has done with GTAV, I hope they don't try to shill their Shark card or the Western equivalent in RDR2.

What historical references are there other than the blatant 1st century Judea ripoff?

>>3008955
What's the gameplay like?

Commandos in the Wild West

You've got a team of several people, each having specific skills (one can lure enemies, another one can handle dynamite, another one can carry and hide corpses etc)

Used to love HOI3 but then iwith HOI4 being trash I looked for different games and found this.

>>3009430
It's absurd the difference in AI between HoI4 and WitE. You would think a game that simulates the hundreds of divisions and millions of men on the eastern front would have bad AI, but it has really good AI, especially compared to HoI4 which is almost non-funcitonal even with the dumbed down mechanics.

>>2994565
Weird, i learned with Victoria 2 but now any paradox game below that in "difficulty" rating is boring as fuck

>>3008909
what game?

>>3009423
You forgot there are literally black women in the wehrmacht and half the story is going to be about the Holocaust.

I'm sorry that not everyone is a genius like you. Pic related is probably what you look like. One of my friends can't even figure out EUIV, so I'm doing alright.

>>3010332
It's kinda true though, what the lesbian loli implied. It's because you can automate a lot of things in HOI3. So, while it looks daunting at first, it might be simpler than it looks.

No love for Call of Juarez featuring the best protagonist ever, Reverend Ray Mccall?

>tfw gunning down outlaws with a revolver in one hand while reciting the bible in another.

Admittedly the first game didn't age so well but the story in the first two is still superb, one of the few prequel games done right.

HOI4 AI is so retarded you can paint a massive front with a field marshal, roughly draw a front line and leave them to it.

Ireland should not be able to beat England alone by 1940.

What y'all think about Company of Heroes 2 and Verdun?

Try hearts of overhall. It makes the vehicles somewhat realistic and unbalanced instead of retarded.

....why doesnt it go to low income workers who build the shit? Wtf?

I had fun with Vic II but I stopped trying to do things that made economic sense and started doing things that made me money in the game. IT was kind of stupid but it was fun i guess.

>>3010367
Yeah, I honestly haven't played much of it. All I've done is conquer Ethiopia as Italy which was actually pretty easy. But on the surface all the UI and mechanics look intimidating.
