RTS HUGBOX THREAD

>Age of Mythology
Wanted to get back into it but I've had so many problems with the remaster, it's driving me mental. Worst one is the micro stutters every few seconds, happens for seemingly no reason and requires a full computer reboot to possibly fix. Then there's the CTDs when (I'm assuming) it loads a unit or building wrong and I click on it

I like both Age of Mythology and Rise of Nations.

>good ole days terrans didn't wall
I've somehow started fucking up the wall like an utter shitter again resulting in a tiny gap that sometimes goes unnoticed, also feel oddly compelled to skip the main and wall the natural on that new disco map which inevitably ends in disaster

so? you can be tryhard faggot if you want to. but i just enjoy building shit and playing against cpu.

walling the natural is okay if you go for a fast expand, but staying on one base against a zerg I wouldn't recommend, unless you scouted a pool first but those don't go around anymore, except if you're below diamond

I've been getting into Starcraft 2 ladder recently. Did my placement matches in 1v1 for the first time since WoL, and i got diamond after beating all my diamond opponents. Most fun i've had in a long time.

I also installed Warcraft 3 and has been getting into custom games. Trying to learn Green TD in singleplayer before i join a multiplayer match, as the Green TD community tends to be hardcore if someone leaks.

That's fine, but then dont complain when you get bored at making 'Muh comfy cities' and play elsewhere, just to then wonder why RTS videogames are 'dead'

Hello, guys.
Why didn`t you play Planetary Annihilation?
For me it was the lack of single player campaing and no interested friends.
The same issue i had with Sins of Solar empire.

Picked this up over the weekend.
Ended up being quite busy though.

Zero-K, gonna learn how to into air as second factory in this FFA as soon as i stop getting my ass kicked

I recently started to play the AOE 2 campaigns and there are so many things that bother me I just can't enjoy them. Too many historical inconsistencies and so much nonsense.

This is just for the Joan campaign don't get me started with the others.

What bothers me the most is that this is an RTS game they could have given the French soldiers around her a + to Attack like a morale boost buff or something.

The lag that would happen every single game once people started building lots of units. Don't celebrate your game not having a unit cap if it's going to run like shit as soon as people build units

So... is Age of Empries IV a thing, or they gonna remake AoE III first.

Wouldn't mind that, to be honest.

most of Yea Forums is casual at all games, big whoop.

So don't get your hopes up.

i played it, found a google doc primer on the units and general strategy, got mildly competent, then the online died.

Then would Sins of a Solar Empire count in this thread? Because it's a 4x but is also an RTS.

also inb4 some pleb says it's just a game bro who cares about being accurate at all
It's a game that tries to be about real civs and people also kinda tries to be educational.

Its not dead if its doing better than before. All the player numbers are up.

Sure, we might lack a wide variety of releases, but doesn't most game genres? People still play Cs:go after 8 years, and there are no new games to compete with it. The new games we do get are usually pretty good, such as They are Billions.

GoG my man.

Basically, i consider a genre not dead, if it has a nice community to play with, not 3.5 same guys.

While i had a lot of fun back in the day playing RA2 and Generals ZH on LAN, RTS no longer have same communities as, say, FPSes, MOBAs (fuck Dota, btw) and MMOs (half my friend circle is returning to classic right now).

I wouldn't say there's a lot of Redwall in it. To me it felt like I was playing an Ironclaw RTS set in the Industrial Revolution, only without magic.

Back on topic.
What do you think about RTS mods? What are your favorite?

I really liked FOK mod for DoW, all that options and better distinction between anti-armor and anti-infantry weapons. Sadly, some battles became a real slog and UI for additions feeled extremely unpolished.

My prediction is that it will come out a buggy crashy mess with very poor performance. It will probably take months of patching before it's in a good state.

What are the best campaigns in aoe2? I went through Franks and it wasn't all that enjoyable. I'm having a blast playing online or with bots, but the campaign just feels so restricting.

Men of War: Assault Squad

I've been on a city builder kick, played the hell out of Frostpunk recently, but it's coming to an end. I've completed every achievement and solved extreme difficulty, and the threats on endless aren't enough to keep an endless run interesting past the first two storms.

I guess I might go back to Tropico, but staying in power on there is pretty easy, so it's all about maximizing your income and swiss bank account. My favorite is 3, but 3 has trouble with large population sizes, things start to break down around 1000 or so people due to traffic being a problem.

Right now I somehow manage to occationally fuck up reaper extend or 17 hatch or just YOLO when I see the enemy army - all to the point I'm not interesting in continuing the game after. There is no point in victory if you've already shit your pants.

I recently finished Halo Wars and found it pretty fun. Any other RTS games that are good for newcomers?

Warlords Battlecry, either 2 or 3 (completely different campaign styles so pick which you'd prefer). It's an earlyish RTS/RPG hybrid with legitimate depth to the hero builds, so even if you can't into the strat you can still build a monster of a unit to carry between maps and micro about the place

SC2 is a solid choice too, online is F2P and you get one of the SP campaigns as well

Why? For defense? A proper setup with shields goes a long way.
Also, you need to learn each phase of each mission; specifically, where the enemy will come from when the map expands.

I really enjoy SC2 but I don't pay that much attention to the esports aspect of it outside of korea time. And I guess that's SC1 anyway.

Also HoTS > WoL > LotV

The esports can be very fun to watch. That's the the reason I initially got interested in playing. Seeing Larva beat some loser using his foot was extremely entertaining

Just build some artillery then.

>le tranny meme haha I'm funny
Go identify as an attack helicopter somewhere else

Agreed
Again, that nuke game where she didn't have game sound for whatever reason is a GSL highlight imo

>can't scout in
Expect happy ships then.
Just place some spores/cannons (not too many) and get queens/stalkers into posisions.
Proceed to rush Corruptors/Tempests while being defencive, but keep a decent ground army.
Scout for enemy army composition then. It will probably be mass BCs.
Leave some infestors at home or be ready to recall. Attack the terran, kill 3rd and deny 4th base.
That's about it most of the time.

I used to play RTS games and I prefered the city building aspect. The impression games (Caesar etc) are nice but you kinda have to build around the mechanics of the game if that makes sense.

I'm not a big fan of city building games in the modern era either... Can anyone recommend me a comfy city building game?

Not exactly city building but Rimworld generally scratches that inch for me

I'm quite serious.
If a person tries to "transition", one identifies as a certain gender and assume a certain gender role - like being a housewife or something for a females.
Being an esports player does not suit it in any way.
Scarlett is just a loser that abused all that gender bender hype to get some fame and recognition. Just like some "traswomen" manage to win powerlifting competitions.
It's all lame as fuck and denies actual women.

Is Sins of a Solar Empire good? I know it's a strategy game but I think the title is pretty cool

Playing some Stronghold 2 and having a blast, is 3 really that bad ? and how about Crusader 2, want to try them out

It's sanbox so it can get stale after a while. Good thing there are a lot of mods to try out.

But elitism creates diversity and nitches. Nowdays every game feels the same.

Geoff "iNcontroL" Robinson. I saw him in a grocery store in California yesterday. He was wearing a greasy tank top. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was a little taken aback, and I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his fat hand shut in front of me over and over again. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle and fart as I walked away. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly

I was never involved with /sc2g/ on Yea Forums back in the day because I wasn't into rts back then but I can only imagine it died due to stagnation from a critical mass of kpop tards and people realizing that the game didn't hold a candle to brood war.

General was banned because the retards wouldn't stop raiding other generals. I think there's one up occasionally nowadays.

It's all flooding back, "I'm 404ing this shit" literally got thread deletion on that board disabled. Even before the mods did that, you had the other big generals move to tripfags creating threads just so it wouldn't get deleted so far through

On the contrary, I try my best to teach rookies all across Yea Forums and even Yea Forums itself
But after a few days, they simply lose interest, while it's understable since I can be overbearing at times given my 4000 hours at AoE2, it's still disappointing
The worst of all is that when I get invited to low level lobbies, in which I mightly resist to rush and carve everybody's a new asshole, but at the same time, Black Forest maps actually make me want to kill myself, so it's a limbo
Ironically enough, the best aoe2 players I stumbled upon dont use Yea Forums, so that might be a sign

>That's fine, but then dont complain when you get bored at 'Muh comfy singleplayer bing bing wahoo' and play elsewhere, just to then wonder why platformers are 'dead'

It's the same with DotA clones, except that people can protect their fragile egos by blaming their teams. But yeah, there's several genres that have died because a small gap in skill can cause a shutout almost 100% of the time, making it difficult for the masses to play.

Personally, I quit both SC2 after a year or so because of the nervousness I got every time I'd do a random 1v1, it wasn't that bad, but why do I care to continue to subject myself to it when I could just relax playing something else? I quit with a record of 66 wins and 5 losses sometime in Season 2, though I think about six or seven of those wins were undeserved (IE, opponent made a tiny, fatal mistake or I took a long gambit and it paid off, felt like a cheap victory). Did the same for Company of Heroes 2, climbed my way to the top of the leaderboard and started getting matched only against people in the top twenty to thirty ranks. Every game was nerve wrecking and the smallest of errors could bring a game down like a house of cards, it wasn't fun anymore because I had already bested most opponents and now it was just a slugfest at the top of the ladder in an insular community I didn't much like.

What kind of "unusual" settign you would want to see in an RTS game?
I remember there was Giger's Alien themed game.

Out of traditional systems, I like resource per minute. I think we've past the time where the micro involved of maxing resource gain is interesting, I'd rather resources be a strategic decision rather than maintaining constant production of workers and microing them to harvest resources.

I do like some of the more experimental systems though, limited resource counts, WiC's replenished resources from losses, stuff like that is neat, even if no one's adapted it to a tournament setting.

Aye, AvP Xxtinction. I think the campaigns all had unique mechanics but I only remember bits of the marine one, basically got a load of units at the start of the levels and had to micro them through
You'd think a console RTS would be more macro focused out of necessity but nah

I find resource per minute more stressful, because I keep watching the numbers go up and thinking "Go faster!".
Apart from that, I like them both.

I wish we'd get another attempt at something like Natural Selection or Caliber. NS had some great moments even if the balance was a little wonky, it'd be fun to see something built specifically for a combination of FPS and RTS perspective.

I think if I had to design a game similar, I'd split it into teams of six, three teams of six on each side, and one of the six being the "commander" on each group. The commander would micro a few drones around the players which would provide vision around them as well as let him use certain abilities (Think things like EMP, ensnare, shield, etc) drawn from a shared energy pool. The idea would be the commander has access to a lot of information and can act as a force multiplier for his team but can't really directly affect the battle himself. The FPS players would be the ones able to directly influence combat, but for certain things they'd be reliant on the commander to handle, such has hacking doors open/closed or handling other infrastructure things.

i didnt buy the SC2 expansions because i took one look at those widow mines and instantly knew they would be enraging to play against, didnt look at the game for like 5 years after that. years later i saw some guy in a thread say that he blamed widow mines for the games collapse and it took blizzard like 2 years to nerf them.

so, is there any discord/steam group or something for RTS anons to group up? I play a lot of CoH2 but I also play coh1 and MoW AS2 and we could play some oldschool stuff like OpenRA or AoE2/3 just for fun.

Yea Forums groups are always cancer but we could start a game in this thread.

really been enjoying them as well. they did great job with limited architechture etc

RTS games are dead because the people wanting to play in a solo tournament setting are pretty low, and the number decreases every time someone discovers they'renot hot shit like they thought. You start with the wood league dropping out, then the bronze, then silver, all the way up to masters, and suddenly you've only got a few dozen people left.

I think one of the options for attempting to reinvigorate the genre would be to build an RTS system that's kind of like an MMO. Before everyone gets out the pitchforks, hear me out.

MMOs show that if you have a gameplay system that focuses on keeping players engaged, they'll stick around even when there's "nothing to do." In an RTS context, the equivalent to an MMO would be doing things like objective based single player maps (Perhaps randomly generated or with some shuffled objectives/enemies/events during it) that you could do as a daily event, similar to WoW's daily dungeon or FFXIV's roulettes, a set of linked compstomps at various difficulty levels, or really anything that encourages players to play together in a team based setting and work for long term goals (Perhaps it's to unlock certain things for a faction, maybe skins, or something else).

Once you have a steady playerbase being kept by these methods, you introduce PvP, or start expanding on it. With the playerbase maintained, you won't have an issue that players drop out and never return, instead, they'll get their asses handed to them and drop back down to the PvE aspect, eventually recovering and picking up the PvP side again. While not 100% ideal, there's still be a population of players at any given time, which is far more than can be said for any other RTS outside of Starcraft right now.

fuck that
rts needs good map editor a la warcraft 3

Those days are gone. Anyone with skill at creating has moved on to things like Unity and Unreal Engine, where they can make something of their own without limits and possibly make money from it. Mods and custom games are becoming more niche as time moves on because of it.

Have you been living under a rock user? DotA2's got a map editor, and it does get custom games. The trouble is that when something blows up, everyone wants a piece of the pie and pounces on it, which winds up causing it to cease development and eventually die.

Autochess landed on there, became huge overnight, and suddenly Valve, Riot, and Epic all had to make their own version of the game, splitting the playerbase into pieces before it could form. If you think any custom game can get going in the modern era when someone sees they can code it in something else, you're mistaken.

>devs make RTS investing huge time into good design and balance to make the game fun to play vs each other
>retards keep playing vs AI that always behave the same way every game

RTS is dead because there is no influx of new players. You all gotta realize that if this shit keeps up, when our generation dies the genre goes with it.

Don't know exactly how to solve this issue, make simpler rts, use a popular ip, appeal to compstompers. Whatever it needs to be done needs to be done fast, else the genre will dissapear.

I've already stopped reading.

That could work as well, or even something like victorian fantasy like bloodborne.

I love fantasy RTS but there comes a point where the design of units start to get generic. Also, you mean path of exile world or pillars of eternity world?

I'll try that out, I haven't played much of 5 at all. Personally, I think city builders need a hard loss condition (IE, rebels throw you out of power) and a soft loss condition (You need to meet this quota of goods produced by the end of the game or you lose). If you only have one, you either have to make the hard loss condition too easy and thus the game gets boring or with a soft loss condition you wind up min-maxing too hard to simply fill the objective to the detriment of everything else.

I played some Open Transport Tycoon and had the second issue, basically, you don't really win or lose, the only thing that changes is how much money you're making. I was hoping Rise of Industry would be more fleshed out, but it seems like it either has you in a death spiral of debt or everything is going so smooth there's no risk.

Yep, elitism kills.

5 has this, I don't remember ever losing in 3 and 4 but on 5 I got my ass kicked several times until I got the hang of it, and even then things get hard sometimes.

3s and 4s on CoH are pretty imbalanced, puts too much focus on the late game, and Americans were never really strong at late game to begin with, on top of being reliant on tanks that suck in a slugfest. Just do twos or ones.

nah, team games are VERY balanced, the problem is that if you have one bad player he will drag everyone down with him since resources are always being used to the max. And if you have a good team you can rush early stuff and rekt the people who keep waiting for late game vehicles. also now that call ins are getting nerfed team games will see a lot more light/mediums.

It's inheritantly personal in RTS where 1v1 is the norm. Even ignoring the other guy, whatever he does, how good/bad he might play, you can lose from a series of fuck ups on your end that you're processing and poorly reacting to in real time.
Some people can't cope with the (possibility of) loss under such conditions

See this is the biggest problem I have with the game.
I can't help but play 3v3 and 4v4 because 1v1 and 2v2 are just too fucking small. In a 4v4 I really feel like I'm in the shit with my men dodging bullets and tank shots while my tanks are distracting at/flanking the massive wave of German armor.

Is that underwater?

A half working buggy mess of a game but boy I love it for its ambitions, out of all RTS games I wish someone would pick it up, polish it up a little and maybe slap some new content.

Not to mention the fact that the games are big time investments. Take all the negative things that cause people to get salty/anxious in fighting games (personal skill/training in learning character/faction incredibly important, mindgames and outplaying another human instead of cheesing a CPU, no team to deflect blame on, playing against an opponent much more skilled than you means you hardly get to "play" at all, etc) and add in the fact that matches aren't just simple 2-3 minute stomps. Barring getting rushed with villagers/builders in the first 3 minutes, you could play for a good 10 minutes before the enemy rolls into your town with an army twice the size of yours and makes you feel like a fucking idiot.

One advantage RTS games have against fighting games here are team/diplomacy games. Where even if you're low skilled you can talk your way into teaming with a strong player and supporting him despite being bad. Or maybe even going 3v1 with other new players against a more experienced player. But usually no new players are allowed in team games so they don't even get to experience this.

3v3 and 4v4 were shit in CoH 1, theyre actually pretty good in the sequel. Probably the only thing 2 really did better.

Yes, Submarine Titans

Because all it comes down to is memorizing the best build orders and micro, I’d prefer to figure out my own stuff even if it’s suboptimal.

Attached: oh god, im mechinggg.jpg (780x856, 30K)

My thing for large matches in CoH is more because my playstyle doesn't mesh well with them. I'm pretty good at deducing exactly how much I need to overcome a player's forces and how to flank so that while I might take some losses, my opponent always takes far more and is usually dislodged from their position and has to regroup. In a large team game, you kill some forces and take a beating, only for there to be more enemies behind those that continue to wear you down. Large games favor longer, more protracted battles that work on attrition over lightning manuvers that crush your enemies and allow you to continue to advance, and I just can't play that way.

That's one of the reasons I was so excited for the Americans on their release. The entire faction is balanced on a razor's edge of having a lot of firepower per unit and flimsy but fast armor, to the point where you really have to cut and measure exactly how much punishment you can take while gauging how much you can put out. The margin of error is small, if you get routed, it's usually your doom, but you have the potential to murder the absolute shit out of the enemy in short order before they can escape you, and for a fraction of the cost of the units they have that can do the same.

I haven't played in several years, but my only real complaint about the Americans was that they didn't have a lot of openings and were heavily reliant on riflemen throughout the early to mid game. Riflemen were strong as fuck, but when they get countered, you don't have a lot of answers other than popping smoke and hoping you can get in range of things. Nothing like clever scout car play, sniper attrition, or anything of that nature, just more firepower in the form of BARs and Grenades. I can live with the relative weakness of armor considering good use of it will allow it to do things other factions' armor can't (Such as the high penetration of the Jackson chewing through tanks at range).

If people here are afraid of being bad, why don't they play lopsided RTS team games against real players? Like a 3v1 or 5v1 if they're really bad. Surely it'll be more fun for both sides, right?

Who foaming at the mouth for Flash vs. Snow in ASL next week?

The fun in RTS comes from reading your opponents and knowing what they can bring to bear and countering it, when your opponents are bad enough, you just roll them no matter how they gang up on you until you reach the point where you simply can't match their sheer output of units despite playing better.

I was listening to the pylon show, a podcast mostly about sc2 and broodwar.
Artosis, one of the hosts pretty much buys every rts game and tries it, and he actually liked that game.
The other host incontrol liked to shit on him for playing that weird rat game, and once during the podcast they ended up looking up how many players the game had, and it was like 3 players at that time, it was a small single digit number, entire playerbase at that moment.

Orcs have 3 summons, humans have 2 summons.
2 factions. 2.5 on average.

AoE1 was better in many regards. Units are so imbalanced it makes the game a lot of fun. For example a single Centurion can kill 12+ Chariots alone, OHKO villagers, destroy towers without breaking a sweat. Elephants also cannot be taken down by pretty much anything and priests are so much more valuable.
Gold is hard to come by and therefore gold-intensive units are a bigger gamble. You might want to decide between upgrades to non-gold units or dishing out a few Cavalry. I feel sea warfare is also has a bigger impact.
The game is smaller, less diverse, but much more meaningful in all things you do while AoE2 is more balanced and has counters to everything.

I would
but I'm trash at the game

So under acquiring it should also say something like "Gained Through Capturing Units" ?
Does that describe the method sufficiently?

AoE 1 also had better cheat units

Nope, need to organize groups outside of the game to play it.

It would, but it's been years and I can't actually remember how important it is in the long run. Might want to double check with other gameplay footage just to make sure before editing

is this the manlet rage I have always heard about?

t. didn't really play AoE2

I genuinely sometimes forget how great the unit design in AoE2 can be. The only downside I suppose is the rock-paper-scissors design so one unit that is super tough can get countered in a practical manner by something. Example being paladins which are really tough but can be taken down super hard by halbediers, or cataphracts that are immune to almost everything except a shitload of arrows or gunpowder.

Heritage of Kings is straight 2000s RTS and is a worse game for it, kinda like Black & White 2

Add me: steamcommunity.com/id/tribalbeat/

Dawn of War is pretty much the closest we'll ever get to a more outlandish and dark setting in RTS. Everything RTS nowadays seems to be some fucking sci fi shit or akin to Civ.
Fair point. I remember playing AoE during one random match against AI and I couldn't for the life of me do anything to counter their unit spam so I opted to tunnel them somehow and make a sort of last stand with hoplites. They just kept crashing into my wall of nearly invincible units, even harder when I managed to upgrade them to phalanx

4v4 on highlands can be just as great. I remember one particular game where the terrain made it so that the only way to get from one end of the map to the other one was through the middle. Both teams fortified the shit out of that spot with castles, towers and all other sorts of stuff. It was just a sea of dead pikemen, skirmishers, broken down trebuchets and light cavalry

AOE3 may not ever get a remake, because of the AOE games that one actually aged relatively well, hell, its original MP servers are still up.

I liked it at first.
Kept me from going insane ICS after my first game, but that was partly due to ignorance, the meta before BNW(especially in g&k) was ICS but I was scurred of the culture cost penalty.
With the tech cost penatly that came in BNW it was still doable, but not ideal.

After covering the map with cities in civ2, I appreciated that it was more welcoming to tall strats where you placed cities sparingly. A bit extreme with bnw perhaps.

RTS went the way of the arena shooter

Because the devs are/were literal jews that tried robbing me off all my shekels.

I think the power gap between Tool and Bronze ages facilitates the hell out of rushing and makes it less fun for starting players but it's so satisfying, specially in the campaign, if you manage it.

I savescumming a lot there, the barrels surprised me twice and didn't know I had to click the banner on top left for reinforcements so Gandalf never arrived for me lol

we just want freedom my boy, oh yes - tip of the spear, feels oh yes

It is a legitimately super hard mission. Between having to juggle super few troops between the wall and the gate, the fucking crossbow uruks making short work of your elves and having like no access to anything except archers because horsies are super expensive you're in for one hell of a ride. Oh and then the fucking ballistas that absolutely destroy your armies with their 10000000 range. IMO it is the hardest mission in the good campaign second only to the gondor rangers mission where you have to take out a Mordor base and they keep spamming fucking mumakils

Do you know if the sequel is easier? I went blind so I took too much care of my heroes so they didn't level up enough and I sacrificed too many high level squads without noticing so I think I'm pretty fucked. And I know how the whole thing will end so might as well move on.

Is the ranger mission the one with the elephants?That shit sucked.

Do you know the exact nature of the issue?

can't virtualbox it?

The good campaign in 2 is easier by far. Elves are OP as shit and can 360noscope any army before it can even get in range. Dwarves are also pretty based, they're tanky and have busted heroes along with some fairly good meme units like the dwarven battle wagon, although they have shit for ranged units because the axe throwers kinda suck dick so you're pretty screwed against units like mumakils

The evil campaign however is an absolute fucking nightmare because you are outclassed at every turn. You start out as goblins and your army is always generally shit so you mostly rely on heroes to take out enemy units. Goblin spiders are the most decent part to that faction but they of course get countered super hard by even the weakest pike squad

The expansion to 2 is even harder. I don't know what the fuck they were thinking, and you can't savescum anymore because they made it so you can only save in between missions IIRC (been a while since I played it desu)

Colors get fucked and become blue/purpelish, mouse shits itself, AI seems to lag, you click them to move and they move like chess pieces, list goes on. Its a shame since apparently the game had an expansion pack I never got to play. Haven't found any effective fixes, especially since its obscure abandonware.

dgVoodoo would be my goto fix for graphical issues. Try that. Might even help with lag

I feel like “you build a building that provides that resource” should have it’s own name instead of being lumped in with “any”.

Also there's a trick to making your life a whole lot easier in BFME 1. In the first Moria level, don't let Gandalf get to level 2 before you fight the Balrog. If you kill the Balrog while he's still level 1 using just wizard blast (it's a pain but bear with me) he immediately jumps to level 5. Shit's fuckin bonkers and you're absolutely going to need him at a high level for Helm's Deep and Minas Tirith

>Colors get fucked and become blue/purpelish
Try having a "Screen Resolution" or whatever it is called open while playing the game.
It solves the color issues in starcraft and seven kingdoms.

If that doesn't work, then close down explorer.exe while playing, that solved the color issues in aoe2.
I remember making a .bat file that closed down explorer and started aoe2 for my dad so he could play aoe2 with proper colors.

Is this game good?
looks a lot like age of empires, which is my bread and butter

Referring to AoE?
That wouldn't include all the various ways food is collected though, sheep, game(deer, boar), ocean fish, shore fish, berries.
Any is lazy even though it's described in the legend, so maybe I'll change the AoE lines to be more descriptive.

If you're curious why that works, it's because having that open leaves Windows Aero running, which doesn't play nice with old games. Disabling Windows Aero by using a classic theme works well too, though that will cause issue with recording software if you like to make webms or stream.

I'll try that Gandalf trick if I go back to BFME1. I really want to try BFME2 now, it sounds pretty comfy to play with elves and dwarves and I can relax a bit if it's easier.

It's Age of Empires, but bigger. You have more resources to manage and much bigger armies. I'd recommend trying it out, but it's kinda awkward. I found that the game runs extremely slowly normally, but if you bump up the speed at all then cavalry move at the fucking speed of sound.

Ah neat.
A little disappointed that i'm not a tech-priest, but it's better to know why.

Thanks for the advice, will give it a try when I get a chance

BFME 2 is pretty comfy. The only downside is that the Gondor and Rohan factions got royally screwed because they got combined into "Men of the West" which is horseshit IMO because not only was Mordor expanded but evil factions got the new Goblin faction and Isengard stayed the same as well. Guess it was to make up for the new Elves and Dwarves

awkward how?
what are some must-apply fixes im im pirating the anthology version from GOG?

There's lots of upgrades that do the same thing and the scale of the game takes getting used to. Age of Empires has a lot of stuff streamlined.

Randomly started playing RoN today and ended up playing it for 8 hours. Holy shit game is cozy. At least until nukesand they start nuking your autism economic hubs.

I always cap it to the Enlightment so races still look unique.

I started playing warcraft 3 again after years and I've kinda forgotten how the campaign goes but I really felt like playing it again however I know theres the new remastered version coming out and I kinda want to wait and re experience the whole campaign again with the new graphics. Dunno if I can be bothered to wait.

Holy shit I loved that game I picked it up at yard sale at 14 and played the shit out of it. Loved the music and watching my dudes charge into battle

Anyone else have a soft spot for AoEIII? There's just something cozy about the wilderness feel to it and building up menagerie of saved animals and outlaws.

Play the edain mod, they give proper unit rosters to gondor and rohan, split elves to forest elves and rivendell elves, dwarfs get 3 factions with different heroes and some unique units, mordor gets a mechanic where sauron levels up when you meet certain challenges like having 20 orc squads, isengard is mostly the same, angmar is better.

With that said they FUCKING removed goblins, so if you like goblins it's a kick in the balls.

Whats the alternative? embracing being bad at everything and not improving?

I always found it humorous that nukes required knowledge as an input resource to build. It makes sense from a gameplay perspective, but it's also a bit tongue in cheek -- you get dumber for building a weapon that could theoretically end the world.

Yes. Most competitive RTS is cancer is play or watch. My idea of a good time isn't clicking faster than somebody else. MAWAS2 and Total War are the best kind of RTS I can hope for because they're more about the actual strategy of fights rather than anything else, even though Total War dumbs down to 'hammer and anvil' every time sadly.
