Dominions has battles as a whole other thing... that you have no control over whatsoever. You put your troops in formation, tell the commanders what to do if a battle happens... and hope they actually follow instructions. Timeskip ahead a month and hope they didn't blunder into a bloodhenge when you were hoping to fight monkey barbarians instead..

I definitely would not recommend dominions to someone looking to not get overly involved with the battles

In multiplayer, definitely. In single-player mode, though, you can go pretty far just moving big blobs of troops around. If you put a bit more work in, setting a scattered line of mages with copy-pasted orders behind a thick line of infantry can take care of all your micro management for the next 20-30 battles against regular indies and AI raiders.

Conquest of Elysium for the single player dominions with even less battle micro experience imo.

Theswarms posted:Conquest of Elysium for the single player dominions with even less battle micro experience imo. It's a lot of fun. You can attack and dethrone god if you figure out how to invade heaven! Just make sure to put several enemy AIs as dwarf queens, since they have an immobile commander in their home base. That way, you won't find the game suddenly ending when they accidentally drown all their leaders in the same turn. A real plane-hopping dimensional conquest single player campaign can take a bunch of time, and I generally find it pretty decent fun all the way through.

No but I'm always happy to find a good excuse to get back into it. Is the 1v1 ranked scene still bizarrely active?

The thing with Planetary Annihilation is it just makes me want to reinstall Supreme Commander.

Is there a strategy game that combines historical city building with some degree of military gameplay? I知 thinking something where I build a city, in enough detail where I知 controlling the layout, making citizens happy, dealing with stuff like water supply and sewage, etc, but also running my tech and military progress so that I have an army that goes out and fights

TGG posted:Rise of Nations gets rather close to this, just a little heavier on the RTS side. Might as well throw Shadow Empire in at that point. IMO neither is a great fit. Sounds like looking at that Zeus city builder or another of that line might work. The real winner would be the cartoony Greek City builder whose name I can't remember. Don't even think it is officially sold anymore.

Grabbed supreme commander 2 for the steam sale. It's pretty good. Probably be a lot better once I figure out all the hotkeys and poo poo. Wish units moved a little faster on some of the big maps too

You build cool roman cities, fulfill the necesities of the citizens (water, food, health, religion, entertainment...), and recruit Republican Roman armies to defend your cities and slap barbarians.

The dev recommended way is put each ai in a 2 person team, so if one of their strongholds gets taken they aren't out immediately. Reduce AI difficulty to match their being 2 of each to your 1.

Build your Motte and then start zoning areas around it for farms and towns ala sim city. Fight off raids, initially barbarians from the north but eventually neighboring realms with organized armies and maybe a grand threat like a big viking raid or invasion. Meanwhile you need to build up your castle and surrounding industry by placing down walls and other improvements and recruit more men-at-arms and etc... Grow one of your towns to a walled city and place other fortresses down on your borders. Would be pretty fun.

Milo and POTUS posted:Did they ever make a lords of the realm 3 Yes but it's really bad. There's an EA title on Steam called Rising Lords that's pretty much LOTR2 but with turn based/hex combat and a card system. It's a little janky but promising.

Any goons where who play Cepheus Protocol? I just bought it the other day. It has a lot of features that I want to explore, but man it is hard to get into. One big problem I'm having is that as soon as i touch down to make a base, civilians start flocking there. And inevitably one or more of them turn and I suddenly have a bunch of zombies tearing down my base in seconds. I litterally got wiped within the first 10 minutes because of this. I know about the civilian shelters that can be built, but it sucks using all my starting funds on those, and then have to spend all that time micromanaging the never ending flow of civvies...

I like the idea behind a sort of real-time XCOM, but it looks kinda rough and I don't buy EA games in the first place. Hope it turns out good tho. I know there was a thread about it here but it's probably hit archives.

New RTS by Blackbird is available for playest, just go to the steam page and you should get access: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1072190/Crossfire_Legion/ It's...very Starcraft, way more so than I'd like.

Wishlisted and will buy when it comes out of Early Access. edit: Also, Iron Harvest >>> Deserts of Kharak.

That's why I'm extremely wary of the Master of Magic remake. Extremely overpowered units/spells was a big part in what made the original so entertaining.
