Dune 2

>>275621906
>comfiest base building
Cossacks, it's so comfy you don't even care about enemy, you just want your base to grow big and wealthy.

>>275622174
And then the AI sends some fuck to run around and capture all your buildings.

What are some fun mods for Yuri's Revenge skirmish game?
I'm pretty fucking bored with the vanilla.

I'm partial to Stronghold titles. Pretty comfy.

>>275622159
how can you be so retarded

total annihilation on metal maps is comfy as fuck

>>275622159
Look up the difference between strategy and tactics.
It'll help.

Is there a game that does "hold the line" concept as well as COH? I just want to maintain my MG nests and do some comfy mortar shelling while slowly advancing.

>>275622683
Men of War's campaign does this. A lot.

>>275622405
Especially because there's basebuilding mode without enemies. Thanks for reminding me anon, I think I'm gonna play a round today.

>>275622985
Too bad MOW runs like shit 15 minutes into any game mode. Also the lack of skirmish mode ruins it for me. Thanks for the effort though.

Guess what, SupCom2 tried to do the same. Same with End of Nations. All failed.
To appeal/lure more people into the RTS world, you have to make it more casual and easier. There is a reason DoW2 and lots of other RTS/RTT only attract a certain group of hardcore people. They don't bring in allot of money, but they do last. Unlike SC2 which lured lots of people but is pretty much dead now.

>>275638657

I wanted to love this game but they fucked it up by giving it unit caps.

Also I remember one mission, where you had to use the alien invaders troops to kill that traitor with the claws - you started in the bottom left and they had a base in the middle. Thing was, the hero unit you had could recycle stuff to charge up his super cannon which could shoot fireballs anywhere on the map, so you could just artillery out the bad guy and auto win, without attacking the base.

>>275639009
Nope, doesn't play like AoE2. Altough everything is similiar, it's kinda different. Just give it a try. It's not a bad game like supcom2.

>>275639430

Too bad Supcom2 failed in both ways. Its just shit m8

nigger you what

Carryalls were standard units in Tiberian Sun. And also the only way to get the Mammoth MK2 anywhere on the map without it taking a fucking age, you just had to watch out for anti-air.

I think you needed to build a repair center for carryalls to be available. But they were definitely in the vanilla game.

>>275639005
Of course playing on multiple PLANETS with their own moons and sun is better than playing on some patch of land, the map size is or will be supposed to scale with processing power so you can hypothetically play on a earth-sized planet.
>Even then, scale isn't the deciding factor in a good RTS.
Of course scale isn't THE factor, but it's an important factor. Improvements of either scale or detail is vitally important, and since improved detail usually lands you in some sort of tactics game scale would be the way to go with RTS games. Like, there's a reason why the AoE 2 remake lets you have like 1000 population, cause bigger scale is more impressive, on top of being more complex. Aesthetics and mechanics pushed to new heights. A game like starcraft 2 where your game-ending army is some sort of amorphous blob covering maybe 1/4 of the screen when packed together is lame compared to several 500 meter tall robots surrounded by a mass of thousands of smaller bots.

What RTS game has a nice city building aspect like Age of Mythology? I don't want a pure city building game though

A long ass while ago I played the demo of a RTS set in feudal Japan. It had no fantasy elements. Units looked small next to the buildings, nice proportions. Gameplay was similar to Age of Empires. Horses were stand alone units, you had to select a human unit and mount it. Resources included timber and rice.

I obviously don't remember the name, because it's a good game I played during my childhood and the gods makes us forget those things just so we can become frustrated adults.

If anyone could tell me the name of that RTS, I'd be forever grateful.

A friend and I usually just compstomp together while shooting the shit over skype. Good times.

Any good modern RTSs with good base building allowing for turtling but also not shitty gameplay?

EA is worse than Activision, I said it. Even though Activision is a piece of shit company EA is even worse, cannibalizing and destroying any decent studio it touches.

I like playing singleplayer campaigns and offline multiplayer versing bots more than competitive multiplayer. Hell, I really enjoy custom games a lot too.

Any good fucking games?

My all time favorite is RA2 but I have been recently playing CoH1 with Eastern Fronts.

Nothing like playing annihilation no pop cap and shitting out artillery units and pounding slavs to the ground while listening to Sabaton

>>275641314
I'd like to know this, too. I honestly can't think of any.

>>275641314
SupCom
Shields, walls, AA, artillery.
Use experimentals as defense.

Cossacks are also great since you need a decent amount of cannons to breach through tower/wall line.
I'd say American Conquest as well but that game is just bullshit

>>275641703
fuck sup com singelplayer. Every single map its spend 30 minutes pumping the fuck out of your eco and tech, and then stomp the map.

Fuck their design decision of having the map increase in difficulty based on whenever you complete an objective. Shit leads to only punishing doing things time efficiently and playing sim city for an hour before actually playing the map.

Give me some more comfy immersive city building game /v/(with decent combat as a bonus)

Settle is kinda boring
I played Ceasar III and IV... pretty good building game but combat still mediocre
Fucking love Rise of middle kingdom, its 2D art is top notch and gameplay is very good but suffer the same problem with combat
black and white 2 is meh
Dungeon keeper 2 has good gameplay but got boring pretty quick. Also combat is stupid, almost every unit is auto control, just drop fuckers over enemy troops then watch
Children of the nile is underrated. I understand the hate since it's nothing like pharaoh but they nailed the Egypt society and actually let you act like a Pharaoh, immersive as fuck.
Try some from anno series but never get fond of it.

TS runs like shit on everybodies machines. The engine was half-complete and was incredibly poorly optimized. They fixed -some- of that by Red Alert 2, but only so much that it ran without slowdown on then-modern hardware - but that, too, choked down if you started amassing hundreds of units.

They should make a new RTS where you have teammates in which some gather the resources and handle the base building aspects and tech while the other handles the combat. Would be fun as fuck planning for optimum output. Would be fun going through campaign like that with a bro.

I used to want something like computer AI in Starcraft to be controlled by someone that handled resource gathering while I went and wrecked shit based on the units provided me by my teammate. Multiplayer versing would be fun as fuck and would add a new layer of strategy requiring cooperation to function as a well-managed machine of death.

no; carryalls were different from the orca transport. Carryalls looked like a goddamned flying caterpillar. The orca transport, shown below the mammoth mk II was not availible in the vanilla game. The buildings next to th e engineer and the orca transport also appear different than what's actually in the game. The top one looks like the uplink center and the bottom one I don't remember what it is, but it looks like those tiles were replaced for the actual game.

I love that goddamn game so much and I hate EA with a burning passion for killing videogames.

For me its story.
First of all, yeah, yeah, ruskies were bad Mckay.
Seriously, its obvious propaganda, you would have to be a retard or murican to actually believe this shit.

During the game you play as a despicable human bean.
Even nazies didnt receive such shitty treatment in movies or games, ever.
Usually nazies were either chaotic evil or lawful evil.
Ruskies in CoH2 are not even on lawful-chaotic/good-evil chart.
They are more on a repulsive/disgusting/fucking monsters and everything that is bad with humanity, kind of chart.
Shitty russian accent breaks the mood for me as well.
Constant highlighting that ruskies hates their own kind, when sending soldiers straight at MG you can hear orders, go comrades, they cant kill all of us, or something in this vein.

I am not particularly interested in historical aspect so I could swallow some discrepancies.
I could do this if ruskies were shown nazie kind of evil, cold and soulless murder machine, too bad they are really despicable in CoH2.

While I can get behind historic aspect of the game, I have no desire to play as scum of humanity, I just feel repulsed, I much more prefer heroic aspect of both armies first CoH had.

Mobas are a subgenre of RTS. The major difference is between the players of mobas and old school RTS.

For mobas people don't have a problem with competition, being attentive, strategizing and coordinating with team members.

The "true" RTS players seem to be playing RTS like city building sims like they need a single player safe space because they have difficulties socializing, dealing with pressure, and staying focused

The last Allied mission where you capture an old Soviet base and later get an Allied MCV near Yuri's location?

Because it doesn't skimp out on the content, unlike what most sequels do today. Also Yuri's Revenge is by far the best expansion pack ever.

Supcom2 is really the fucking worst sequel to a game I have ever played, supcom 1 is among my all time favorite rts's I still play it from time to time with friends. I was so fucking hyped about 2 and I played it and it was such a huge piece of dogshit

Right now I play company of heroes 2 alot, some sc2 for true comfy I play anno 1404, which isn't an rts ofcourse but still comfy as fuck

I liked the visuals, and you can feel it wanting to be populous/B&W, but it has no soul

Holy fuck, is that even WW2? It looks like some futuristic great battle

It would be if it had a campaign for Yuri.

RIP RTS genre.
We we will never see amazing isometric games like Broodwar, RAII, and AoE2 again.

>>275649148
Yeah, that sounds about right. It was probably the time that I realised just how high the skill ceiling was in RTS games and how much of a shitter I was at them. I've got better since, hence why I asked.

SF1 was so much better

Man i miss the old days of playing RTS online and testing new strategies and stuff. I bought SC2 on black friday but i regret it, the multiplayer is all about who can mimick the pros faster.

If you're looking for a bigger challenge, reinstall RA2 and grab this >>275644000

That's what I meant about "color over what happened then too"

>>275648906

Oh I know that mission, what you must do is IMMEDIATELY capture the oil derricks south of the allied base as well as build an ore refinery and other stuff down there. If you don't, Yuri is going to take over that area instead.

Once you have access to super weapons and robots, the level becomes piss easy.

have you tried forcing low priority, single thread, windows compatibility XP2 and all that?
Also, if you're on Windows 8 or 8.1, you are utterly fucked for playing any of the classics.

does anyone have that pic where it shows the flight path of projectiles from different RTS games?

it all makes sense now

How do I get sc1 to work on windows 7? I tried all the fixes on the internet but for some fucking reason the screen is still fucked up with weird colors when I boot it

>>275649610
I don't know if SC2's problem is that the intnernet wikis/youtubes ruin "secret strategy" or that Blizzard cant make good games any more

>want to play warrior kings
>it's bugged so I can use formations because whenever any of my formations is engaged it keeps selecting that unit for me

Maybe that's why I just started playing full pagan and spamming demons and barbs.
