Steel Division 2 coop patch is out, allowing three people to share all control over the campaigns. Not a true grog, but it isn’t pure casual either. We’ve been having a blast.

I was surprised to see that Steel Division 2's numbers on steamcharts are lock-step with Red Dragon. Do goons still play? Would people be up for playing? At 66% off I'll probably hit the trigger just to see the SP, but it would be good to get the old gang back together to dunk on pubbies.

Likewise I had a great time in steel division 1 so I’d love to go pubstomping again.

As far as I can tell there hasn't really been a revival for SD2 player number, at least when I checked. There might be more players on during the weekend or certain time window. The main mode of play right now is ranked 1v1 which isn't really my thing. I've been playing coop with my friends. By the way, for the DLC campaign, all players has to have the DLC.

I'd be willing to hop back in, i have to score the last few DLCs but i have some understanding of the mechanics and such. I played in the steel division 2 league about 7 months ago and avoided getting relegated from division 4.

I tried strategic mind: spectre of communism out. theres some eurojank and bad voice acting but I think I might prefer the general flow of it to OoB.

Combat Mission: Cold War's Steam release was just delayed again. Sometime in August or September now. Apparently due to issues implementing the new PBEM system.

i've changed my mind on Strategic mind. The jank was tolerable but it's a loving headache to actually gleam information which is impressive when you're making a hex wargame.

maybe headache is a bit hyperbolic but this is what the game looks like by default  you won't notice unless you look carefully theres an infantry squad under that polish plane theres an option to outline units but for some reason thats off by default

This is what happens when you try to mix hexes with graphics. The purity of the nato symbology would have dealt with he situation easily.

In Shadow Empire model design does anyone know where I can find the min/max stats? If something had a score of 81 I really dont know how good that is because its not on a scale of 1-100 since some things go over 100 and its driving me nuts

Someone else can answer more completely but I think the scale is 75-115 or something like that.

Would love too, but I've been busy, so I've only played the first 2 missions so far. Hoping to get a chance to play some more over this weekend. Edit: Google search says from taking damage, but I can't confirm that.

Thanks. Should have checked there first, rather than the steam forum and here. Happy to hear that they have flexibility in regards to what generates momentum.

It's annoying that the dedicated servers are all 10v10 so you have to be lucky when you log in to do a MP game. Edit: is there a goon gaming discord?

So I've now played through the first 5 missions of battlesector. Really enjoying it and would recommend for any fan of 40k stuff. Also clearly has enormous potential for expansion/new factions. I'm hoping the publisher is going to support it just like they did with BSG:Deadlock over the next couple of years.

so I mentioned my complaints about Strategic minds UI but against my better judgement i tried out SM: pacific and holy gently caress is that midway scenario badly designed. The invasion force travels ahistorically fast and if you don't put everything on stopping them they'll land troops within like 3 or 4 turns and insta-win. And then you get an fmv that involves the rising sun being flown in new york.

Battlesector is a grogdream right now. I'm so enjoying this. I was completely in on Lock n Loads Tactical for the past few weeks (Another awesome game!) and this sucked me right out and now I have two games that I honestly feel are top tier tabletop CPU wargames. Goddamn life is good.

Goddamn life is good. Am I missing something with LnL? It always feel like I don't have enough time to even get my units close to the objectives let alone assaulting and clearing them.

Yooper posted:Am I missing something with LnL? It always feel like I don't have enough time to even get my units close to the objectives let alone assaulting and clearing them. Scenario dependant. Some you have a very limited amount of time to take objectives or kill x amount of forces. They usually give you a few ways to do it. Other ones you simply have 6 turns to go head to head, or take a bridge and hold it, etc. They mix up the scenarios up quite good. The AI can be braindead on a few of them because it just doesn't work well for a side, so playing the other side instead often works out better. If you're getting shaken a lot, that will be your downfall for almost all scenarios. You can use the "L" key to look for cover and come up with a path to the objective without getting shot as much, or being in enough cover that it's really hard to hit you if they do. Running your medic and commanders between squads so they can become unshaken easier on the rally phase is also worthwhile. Philthy fucked around with this message at 15:29 on Jul 26, 2021 |
