Oh, there are no win conditions. FF is right, this game is just about simulating how well you maintain the neocon fantasy. Could have probably called this "Obama's Legacy" lol. Maybe they can make an expansion and call it that.

StashAugustine posted:Iraq was probably the big breakaway point with Russia, showing America was just gonna do whatever the gently caress it wanted and no one could talk them out if it. The Georgian crisis and the Libyan intervention were the next big steps but 03 is as good a start date imo Iraq was actually met with some degree of admiration from Russia: it was like "holy gently caress Bush is just like a Roman emperor he doesn't give a gently caress and just does whatever the he wants" but yeah Georgia 2008 was the red line so to speak

They did, I remember before 9/11 Bush was trying to ramp up tensions against China, but 9/11 happened and well we know the rest Though whoever was talking about COD abs fighting Russia again it did feel anachronistic back in 2007 playing Modern Warfare 2

Don't you guys remember that GW Bush was aggressively poking the Chinese in early 2001? The spy plane crash was that year and people (well, neocons and pundits) were lathering themselves into a frenzy until something happened in September that distracted GW from harassing China

How the gently caress do you make a game about ranking presidents and then not rank the president for the time period you play in? They loving have to make that Obama's Legacy module now and rank those fuckers  Edit: shouldn't you be able to use their game mechanics to score Bush, Obama, and Trump anyway?

aow 4 not having a proper campaign is a bit dissapointing but thinking about it a lot of the mechanics just arent well suited to making one the province system (which i like a lot, it allows you to create pretty internal borders), very limited healing outside your own territory, stacks moving slowly on the campaign map they make sense and are balanced for skirmishes but make creating a good campaign scenario with exploration and adventuring very hard unless you change all of them like, give cities a limited area they are allowed to expand to like what you naturally get in the underground (youd probably need to restrict city founding aswell) and add more healing/movement on the campaign map they are apparently adding a dreadnought-like class in the next dlc which i am exited for, it was my favorite one in 3 the changes to ancient wonders means i cant do my strategy of sending wave after wave of suicide drones to weaken high-tier ones enough to be able to take them early though also, played some unnamed fulda game with orange devil like two weeks ago and it was a lot of fun we first played two matchups of the infantry deck first game i played the pact motor rifle deck and ended up with a clear loss, it was my first game so not unexpected (zeppelin insanity gave me a lot of advice through out all 4 games which mitigated my inexperience a lot) second game i played the us infantry deck and having gained some experience and playing a defence focused deck that suited me it ended up very close (i dont remember who won it though lol) next we played the two tank decks with me starting with nato this time third game i made a big mistake where i forgot to put a unit in my backline and made an illegal deployment, realized it after my turn was over and effectivly lost a crucial turn that allowed him to take a very important tile and put me on the backfoot for the rest of the game as i tried to retake it with costly counterattacks that he could reverse on his turn still ended up relatively close in the end forth and final game very exciting and after breaking through his frontline i repetedly pushed into his backline and was beaten back every time with heavy losses on both sides (i got a lot of value out of the 1 damage mortar card) but i retained the initiative then when it was nearing the end steam had network issues and we were all kicked out of the session lol i would probably have won though so im taking it as a victory while the tank deck matchup produced more exciting and fast games with a lot of spearhead pushes and counterattacks the us infantry deck was my favorite, i like the defensive playstyle i has if anyone else wants to play you can add zeppelin (Xan, with the tf2 engineer avatar) on steam and he can set up a session

For that last loss condition, is being impeached an auto-loss or is it actually being removed from office? Are they using impeach properly or are they using it to mean being removed from office? I would also be interested to know what wars you start with in the different historical scenarios. I want to know what the game considers a war and what is considered just a military action.

I bought and played and finished Aliens Dark Descent over the last week and that's a really good game. The very ending isn't great but I really enjoyed everything up to that point and it does some cool things that other tactics games haven't done. It's a meaningful development of the firaxis XCOM formula in a lot of ways, beyond just being real-time instead of turn-based.
