CK2 has some great mods for the /his/ gamer.

e.g. pic related. It's a mod for Crusader Kings 2 focused on Western Europe during and after the fall of the Roman Empire. It's excellent.

All the Field of Glory based games are great, especially multiplayer. I'm very excited about Field of Glory II.

Sengoku Jidai is kind of annoying in that you can't visually see troop quality, though. They didn't fully think that through.

Buy the base game. Pirate all the DLC. It's the best way to play the game.

You don't really need any DLC for it but the Old Gods is highly recommended since much of the map is British pagan, Roman pagan, Frankish pagan etc.

So it's literally the same timeline as vanilla ck2?

>So it's literally the same timeline as vanilla ck2?

I mean the Western Roman Empire. Mod is 410-800 AD I think. The first bookmark starts with the Roman evacuation from Britain, the civil war between Honorius and Constantine III and the wars between Ambrosius Aurelianus and Vortigern. It goes up to the peak of the Frankish empire and the start of the Viking raids.

>>3243416
Ok, obviously not. Didn't realise it's Cornwalls Artus-Saga. Gonna try it out.

proof that Germ*ns think not but there own interests

How historically accurate is the construction of liquor factories in every province of a nation between the years of 1836 and 1936?

>This frees up manpower to convert to craftsmen, who can work your factories
>Build wineries and liquor distilleries, I haven't built much more ATM cause I'm learning what factories work best
This is as far as I have gotten, I'm about 1875 ATM. Also if you're going to do war, make sure you check infamy. I didn't and retardedly ended up completely disarmed and giving £100 a day to foreigners barely keeping my treasury and factories afloat

Alexi Grandi is the most influential man of the 1800s, taking the nation of Brazil from a state capitalist shithole along the lines of Memel to a first world lazy fair capitalist wonderland, with liquor factories as far as the eye can see

>/his/ game general
How about no. Generals are fucking cancer.

Why not do a weekend general? Start a thread on Saturday, and one on Sunday if necessary, and discuss vidya there. It works for the Elder Scrolls lore threads on /tg/, and keeps the threads from dying super quick and keeps people from bitching. I'd be willing to help make a pastebin, if people would be on board with it.

>>3243419
There's a program called Free Download Manager which circumvents that problem.

tfw there hasn't been a proper /his/ city builder since anno 1404 in 2009 but more realistically

What happened? Will we ever manage to supersede the impressions games?

>>3245424
Empire Earth has exceptional game balance but terrible graphix + voice acting. It was from the same guys behind AoE.

Attila has way better mechanics but Rome 2 has a way better time period. What do?
