As far as on release Civ games go, it's fucking amazing.

Compared to it's predecessors who have expansions and years of mods on top of them, it's pretty shit.

>>162346359

People hated 5 on release and now it's pretty much what everyone plays.

The lesson is not to buy Civ games - or any games, really - until they have an expansion or two and have dropped to half the price.

>>162348654
Pretty much this. I remember people not budging from 4 until 5 got expansions, and I'm sure the same will happen again.

>>162348824
>I remember people not budging from 4 until 5 got expansions
A lot of people refuse to budge even now, the change was huge. It was like, I dunno, the S2 -> R2 gap. A lot of people will stick to S2, Empire, Napoleon, and the pre-warscape games, because that's just how big of a difference was between the two titles.
VI needs to be fixed and needs to be fixed fast just like R2 needed to be fixed (CiVI isn't that bad but the idea is the same), but V is just better right now. In almost every way.

Some really good detail on these things

>>162349806

I still think 4 is superior to 5 too. It has the best artstyle of all civ games too. Bright but not overtly cartoony.

>>162355962
Personally Civ V's artstyle was good for me too, and I really like hexes.
I just fucking wish they could somehow add hexes to Civ IV and make it perform better
Then I could play C2C with hexes

>>162356216

I really hated all the shit brown and pastel of 5. Sure, the art deco menus look great but the game itself looks like a fucking ogre swamp.

>>162356529
I actually didn't like the menus.
To give an example of my aesthetic taste, imo the best windows design was Windows 2000 with their hard edged grey menus.
I didn't really like the brown and pastel but to me I'm talking about the models, somewhat more 'realistic'.

>>162366506

Never used anything except your chosen weapon group/tachyon/kinetic batteries. Research is far too useful to waste upon gimmick weapons and 99% of the times you want to research economic techs anyway so you can turtle up and build your galaxy-reking doomfleet without tanking your research.

Did a 20 hour playthrough in MP with a friend.

Did a war with a Fallen Empire in the end where there was a lot of cat and mouse.

Two things I've learned after this long game.

1. Kinetic Weapons are awesome, especially Flak Artiellry and Giga Cannon fleets.

2. Wormhole drive sucks when it comes to large fleets,
Warp Drive is so much better for both speed and range because In the start my fleet tends to get caged behind enemy lines after peace.

>enemy outnumbers me 3-1
>he declares war on me
>run laps around his empire, destroying mining and research stations
>if you loiter in the fringes until his doomfleet is in the inner solar system it takes him a super long time to chase you after warping out
>none of this really matters anyway because it gets boring long before it becomes effective

>>162384181

War is always boring as shit in stellaris.

>>162387124

it's a little more interesting fighting human players because they'll actually shift fleets and ship designs around to counter you, as well as making smaller fleets to go around destroying your infrastructure in response

it's still pretty boring though

>>162383493

>1. Kinetic Weapons are awesome, especially Flak Artiellry and Giga Cannon fleets.

Energy weapons used to be king simply for particle lances.

You could legitimately do nothing but spam autocannons and particle lances with some strong point defense back when the game first came out and you'd melt most fleets.

Since they restricted lances to XL weapon hardpoints they're pretty shit, (though, so is the giga cannon, you can swap that out for more kinetic artillery and get more DPS and more flexibility).

Current weapon balance is neutron torpedoes and kinetic artillery with auto-cannons and point defense as far as I can tell.

>>162381737
Fucking insane, dude. The smallest T1 scrub is as tall as a tree. And a tree is fucking huge, at least on Earth.

At least it means that nukes are up to scale. No wonder the guy who dropped it on Hiroshima went crazy.

FEs awakening is possibly the best thing in Stellaris right now, alongside discovery. It encapsulates the sci-fi feel perfectly. A giant and ancient galaxy, full of terrors, dangers, relics and mysteries. Ancient aliens, abusive precursors, so infinitely advanced you can barely even understand their strange minds.

And they are coming back.

>>162396823
Feel the same way. I love it when FEs start awakening and that "oh shit" feeling where a challenge might actually appear. It's great.

>>162396823
damn straight
too bad once they've been dealt with nothing really happens anymore
i would really love other events like this for the later parts of the game

Enjoy the best fantasy factions ever created in any game ever, anon.

EL was pretty boring for me after the first game

Does anybody else get the impression that the "unhappy" leader animations in Civ VI are practically designed to be as infuriating as possible, to encourage you to declare war on them?

EL with all DLC has too much menuing, which doesn't bode well with simultaneous turns.

>>162404632
Maybe, their losing scenes always make me hard.

Okay, I got it. It's pretty clever, actually. Each unit is actually a captain, and upon upgrade, can get a little helper to fight by his side. At level 2, he get one, at level 5, he get four.
You're limited to, what, twenty captains, but if you upgrade them, you can quickly go very high. But at the cost of a reduced versatility. And healers are shit.

It reminds me a bit of Star Ruler 2, with fleets being reduced but not always destroyed, and being able to quickly recover.

>>162416690

Hey, guys, Stellaris question here.

Which is better, the Direct Democracy government, or the Theocratic Republic government?

The first is Individualist/Materialist and gives happiness + increased leader XP, the second is Individualist/Spiritualist and gives happiness + additional food.

Both get access to the Galactic Stock Exchange (empire) and the Hyper-Entertainment Forum (planetary), but Direct Democracy gets the Research Institute (empire) while Theocratic Republic gets the Symbol of Unity (planetary).

http://www.stellariswiki.com/Government_types#Direct_Democracy

http://www.stellariswiki.com/Government_types#Theocratic_Republic

Which would you say is a better choice overall?

I could see Theocratic Republic (and its enhanced form, Transcendent Republic) being one of the better ways of keeping your conquered xeno pops in line (happiness + negative ethics diversion) but their reliance on a planetary building kind of puts a damper on that.

Does the sector AI build planetary uniques, or is that something that I'd have to do myself?

>>162428192
>+ additional food.
I don't think that is worth it over the +15% leader XP

But depending on your empire the -15% ethics divergence from Transcendent Empire could be really good. But I still prefer Irenic Democracy (+4 core systems) or Subconscious Consensus (+10% happiness +30% leader XP) as I like to keep the least amount of species as possible.

Pretty sure sectors build uniques, whether they build the right ones is another question though...

>>162428192
>>162429396
Don't forget that Spiritualist gets you Psionic Jump Drives, not to mention all of the other psychic technologies.

>>162428192
Personally, I don't think ethics divergence goes well together with individualism, because the whole point of individualism is that it doesn't really matter much if your pop's ethos diverges. And Ethic's divergence seems to be almost pointless for keeping the conquered peasants in check since they already start out with different Ethics.

I once did a game with alphamod and the ethics+government rebuilt, and went for one of those hive mind -50% divergence full anti ethics divergence things. Ended up with most conquered planets being around -70 divergence or so. After a decade, the effect was that "some" of the pops "might" be less fanatical in one of their previously held beliefs. So in normal play, I don't think it's feasible, low ethics divergence is mostly a preventative measure. Once you conquered pops that don't have your ethos, it doesn't really matter if you're positive, so it's best to embrace them for who they are. It's current year after all, diversity is your strength. So from a pure gameplay perspective, I'd go with direct democracy.

Ethics divergence is more important if you really need to keep your Ethos, e.g. if you want to have militaristic slavers. Especially if you're going the xenophobe route, because that means you can't purge or enslave your main species, so not a single one of them can be allowed to step out of line.

If you want to keep conquered pops in check, the only good method is happiness or slavery. So I tend to play the game either as a utopian paradise, or full on authoritarianism.

Second, the maps are big. Like, insanely big.
Third, the units are so fragile : an anti-air light vehicle can one shot an helicopter.
Fourth, I get money by capturing people, which is nice, but I have a FUCKING HUGE hospital that can only hold ten people.

The hospital acts like the Hacker Center in C&C meaning you can only station 10 in them but still get money from other hackers around the map (or n AoW keep capturing enemies)
Also how do you like the fact that heavily damaged vehicles and infantry actually sit back and dont participate in combat despite being selected?
Also send your infantry in buildings or behind cover (carwrecks etc), that gives them some needed survivability

>>162432618

Crawling is extremely powerful in that game. A shame only marines can do it.

But I really think I need to install the base game, I got High Treason because it was in two parts instead of three, but there's no tutorial.

>>162431219
I like it because it makes it easier to take advantage of the resources I have available in the early game but I switch to martial empire in the mid game to get my war on.

After playing Seven Kingdoms 2, Act of War, Rise of Nations and Dragonshard, I kinda want to try more games.

I always find it hilarious that Dragonshard was made by the same studio who developped Battle Realms, since the basic concept is pretty similar.

As a general rule it seems, the previous Civilization game will be better until the new one gets both of its expansions. Was the case for Civ IV -> V, is the case for Civ V -> VI. Although Civ IV is still better desu

What Chaos god is the best god?

>>162443501
Khorne would split you in two with an axe.
Tzeentch would turn you into a copy of "I have no mouth and I must scream."
Nurgle would rot you into sludge and you'd like it.
Slaanesh would slowly carve out your bones and make you feel pleasure and pain to lengths that couldn't even be described.

I choose Khorne. Sure I die but at least its JUST that.

Quick Stellaris question

Does multiple Wormhole Stations at the same spot make my Fleet jump faster?

I had a fleet of about 130k yesterday and it took about 60 days for it to jump.

Could I halve this by building another wormhole station or do I have to split my fleet into a number of fleets equal to the number of wormhole stations because of the queue system?

Original War, get it on steam for most recent dev-approved fan update.
Smaller scale than your average RTS, instead it has persistent character progress, some bits of persistent maps and a few choices and consequences, so you'd better play carefully and plan ahead.

Looks a bit like Jagged Alliance.

Tanks that are either piloted by unique persistent characters, radio-controlled with less comabt efficiency or robot-controlled with smallest combat efficiency and no field repair.

Not steam or GoG but if you havent you should check out the classics. Brood War, Dune 2,the early C&C games, Tzar The Burden of the Crown, Warcarft 1-2. If you like space 4x you should try out Imperium Galactica 1-2 too, 1 is just great with its RPG elements and climbing the ranks. I loved how you just start as a sector commander rebuilding colonies and not as a supreme commander of everything.

Sort of. Multiple stations don't speed up your jumping technically they just let you have multiple wormholes opening at the same time. BUT, bigger fleets take longer for their wormhole to charge so you can split your fleet up when you're jumping somewhere to make it faster and then re-merge them when they're at their destination so you still only need 1 admiral for the fleet.

>>162436230
Non steam or gog game but if you can find a torrent for metal fatigue give it a try, I loved that game, it's all focused on giant modular design mechs as your main combat units, it's pretty good imo.

UA: Centralized Development: May not create settlers or annex cities. Capital city may now work all tiles 6 range out.
Bonus: Units have a combat bonus while in friendly territory, but suffer from attrition when in enemy territory.
Unique Unit: Diplomat/Surveyor. Unit that works like great generals do in V and allows you to annex the surrounding tiles of the unit if next to your border.
Unique Building: Provides a unique luxury the civilization does not currently own for each adjacent World Wonder (or within 2 tiles?)

>>162510351
Wouldnt work. Players and AI ignore tons of wonders and it would let you amass them with ease, plus having that much production in one city from tiles would guarantee most late game wonders. Would be impossible to stop snowball if you didnt have an aggressive neighbor in ancient or classical.

Its fucking stupid, why dont they use mechanics that already work? I really like how every city is an investment in IV, it will take money, time and effort to eventually develop them and you can bankrupt yourself with overgrabbing but
you have to expand or get left behind, which is a basic 4X thing. It made me so mad to see huge tracts of unclaimed land in the modern age in V There is a rthyme to expansion in IV and its different in every game based on the lay of the land and your needs and other players etc. Its never the same experience, building an empire always feels fun, there is always something to micro or make a tiny bit more efficent.

I expected it to be a command unit that can actually join a unit but a long range arty unit is fine by me

Lost Souls are cute.

But that unit is lazy, it's just the Maledictum from DoW's final cutscene.

Mfw I found out this game is single threaded and went to looking up fastest single threaded performance and got hit by the "feels."
I bought an e5200 when I had a q6600 so I could OC it to 4.2ghz to play dwarf fortress faster.
My quick google search didn't find a successor to single threaded performance.

I always thought it was kind of lame that there wasn't any way of ascending to energy/virtual forms in Stellaris.
I mean, Alpha Centauri shipwreck survivors could do it, why can't they?

>>162527573

Stellaris misses a lot of late game ubertechnology. Even fucking Spore let you to be a full on mad scientist, creating/transporting species, reshaping planets on your whim, making custom biomes and stuff.

Plus I really miss rare übertechnologies. Fallen Empires and million year old ruins should all have something unique and completely special, a "path not taken" something so advanced and weird youre scientists are struggling to make use of it.

Player tech levels plateu out way too early, I want to build fucking ringworlds and invade other galaxies.

>>162527573
It should be an endgame. Or a spiritualistic thingy, like the Protoss in Starcraft with their Khala hivemind that allows them to shitpost while fighting.

>>162527781
To be honest, fucking with the ecosystem was my favourite part in Spore. I really liked seeing an asteroid come to life as you create an atmosphere, then release various lifeforms to stabilize it.

A fucking shame it's ruined by the spice system and by the fact that it doesn't give any real bonus except "get more spices lol".

>>162527895
>I really liked seeing an asteroid come to life as you create an atmosphere, then release various lifeforms to stabilize it.
Same, I don't understand why they left it to mods to make it possible to terraform dead planets for that matter either.
I imagine it'd be a nightmare technically and for balance purposes but still.

>>162528090
Honestly, I think a game centered on that whole "rehabilitation of a ruined planet" would be fun to play. With cute graphisms like Slime Rancher, and complex interactions between varied species.

I almost feel like reinstalling Spore now, but I know I'll have to go through all the annoying phases to unlock space again, and then grind these fucking badges to not have to return to my home planet every 30 seconds.
Terraforming was fun, but the rest of the game was so bad, dammit.

How you can have fun with AoW III? Is it a bigger challenge on higher difficulties?

>>162528518
Play as the undead. They're fragile as fuck.

>>162528663
never liked undead in fantasy. Besides, this game seems to be based around having some elite killer squads of experienced veterans that you constantly feed map units, so with a fragile faction the only change I see is that I need to dump production into meatshields until my veterans can take a hit.

I'm currently playing as a dwarfen theocrat just as a point of reference. I thoroughly enjoy the hero creation options and racing to tombs/ziggurats to get more units and items.

But I didn't know that with theocrat you can actually reach a stupid perk that makes your units resurrect if you win. Seems a tad overpowered.

>>162509367
Build national parks and the Maracaná.

It makes sense that you can't have a lot of citizens before the modern era since the world's population skyrocketed starting from the last century.

>>162519824
Yes gramps, your game was awesome and us youngsters are ruining the genre, they should have totally stopped making games after such a master piece.

They were so ridiculous in DoW2.

>>162528893
wait till end game when stacks of tier 3 units are flying around like clouds of bats
but yes, the basic gameplay is more like warlocks/fallen ench series, the simcity part of aow 3 is minimal with o mods. its really all about heros and armies bashing into each other after a lot of early game exploration and questing

>>162528893
AoW is good for autistic role play, it has a decent mod scene too. Undead are fun, one of their late game spells has a 30%chance to rez an army that died anywhere on the map for your faction, which can get expensive to maintain, but you just throw them at things makes for a really cool undead horde vibe done way better than most games.

>>162528893

I don't like the undead factions in classic fantasy, because they feel uninspired to me more often than not.

I think that I liked Undead more than anything in Disciples II. They were fucking awesome there.

>>162529670
I did, it has the best art/music, but I didn't get the last expansion though.

>>162529826
Man, almost everything was fucking awesome in Disciples 2.

>>162529213
well, in my game I received "summon feathered serpent" spell from a dungeon and since I went hard for magic I can spam it like no tomorrow. I also have a city with the ability to build feathered serpents too. I just don't use them, because I see the AI is nowhere near my level so I just roam around the map and collect items.

The moment I found a mantycore mount was wildly satisfying, not gonna lie.

yeah, one of my favorite games ever. I loved the combat system there and the designs of units (attack animations were awesome). But specifically I loved the spin on the undead, with "Death" unit, fucking OP paralyzing Swiss Army Knife infantry and the overall dark fantasy atmosphere, especially in Human faction

>>162529826
I really liked how inspired the undead were in Disciples II, but the game itself was not really my thing. Every time I try that game, my units get rekt by a level 1 human spearman the second I walk out of my city.

I loved the Legion of the Damned and how as your units upgraded they became more and more demonic. Also having all your heroes fly, their take on ranged units and the big demon tree as a whole were great.

>>162530262
the early game is a slog, i'll admit that.

The main problem you face is that you must level up on certain monsters until you can handle bigger ones, like lone wolves, single orcs or some goblins/peasants. Spearmen are already tier II threat that you shouldn't take on early.

I think the biggest gamechanger for me was picking Guild Master leader, because he pays less for leveling up cities, and leveling up cities is important because it's the quickest way to heal your army. Picking the guy with 15% regen is weaker since the melee heroes are shit

>>162530513
Aaaah... So rather than me having no skill, I just didn't understand how the game worked, I was stuck in a Heroes of Might or Magic logic.

Through to be honest, the Disciples 2 expansion that let you play with undead is probably harder than the base game.

I loved the Gargoyle line in Legion. Sturdy as fuck, relatively quick to level, awesome intimidating attack animations (at least the evolved ones).

>>162530587
which expansion? There were only 2, Galleans Return which basically was what would be called NG+ today (campaigns for leveled up heroes) and Rise of the Elves. Undead campaign was already in the base game.

I always liked playing custom scenarios more, where you need to start from level 1, rather than jizzing over having units at max level that have max damage, which is kind of the state of online community (at least in Poland).

>>162530876
My bad, I checked my Steam account, I was actually talking about Disciples 3 rather than Disciples 2.
Same problem anyway : I get rekt the moment I leave my city.

>>162527781

>Fallen Empires and million year old ruins should all have something unique and completely special

Don't be silly.

Now here's that 3000 EC and 2000 M when you already have +900 of each for every month.
