Here I am replaying Warcraft 2 and this schmuck is complaining about his men refusing to burn a village in C&C. Do you realize how loving hard it is to send a goddamn message through a portal across an ocean and continents and mountains just to get a motherfucking Ogre to stop eating a bone and attack a dang footman????

The irony here is I've had Dominions 5 sitting in my library for years never played, but I'm still super tempted to pick this one up on release day. To be fair, I got enough playtime out of Dominions 3 that it still averages out as money well spent even if I bought every game in the series.

Dominions 6 is adding single player diplomacy! There are now supposed to be options other than forever war including non-aggression pact. Still looks to be extremely bare bones but it's a start.

Once upon a time I played Dominions (3) multiplayer, but these days I am casual and afraid of being kickstomped so I kinda want to play some low pressure single player even though I know that's not really where Dominions shines.

Broken Arrow is having an open beta for 2 weeks starting on the 31st. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1604270/Broken_Arrow/ Honestly I don't really remember much from the demo last year. The UI and some functionalities were not completed so it's hard to tell if any weirdness that's occurring was intended or not. There was strict NDA so there isn't much info out there on the current state of the game. It's going to be similar to Wargame with some World in Conflict sprinkled in. It'll have all the features Eugen wouldn't include for one reason or another like paradrop, customizable vehicle and squad, loadout for planes, NOE flying for helicopter, trophy and other similar anti missile system, tactical strike up to tactical nuke, etc. It's also going to be set in modern era so all countries will have state of art equipment available to them instead of the huge timeframe of Wargame. pedro0930 fucked around with this message at 23:23 on Jan 29, 2024 |

Personally I disliked the last broken arrow demo. It was more micro heavy and faster paces than wargame, which could be ok with me but the big problem was I felt little feedback from the game about how my units were doing, whether an engagement was in my favor, whether a position was favorable or not. Pretty game but it simply didnt "feel good" to me

Deakul posted:Are any of the Eugen Wargames worth checking out for solo play? Miss me some World in Conflict. Wargame SP suffers from the AI's play style. They usually like to throw units at you piecemeal so fight just doesn't feel very cinematic or interesting. There will be this intermittent stream of units coming down the same three roads until you win. Have you tried Regiments? It's even more similar to WiC and has better SP experience (though no freeform campaign).

IIRC from the Steam Nextfest demo despite taking place mostly in the modern day it still had a fairly wide range older equipment. Like M60s, F-14s, and Dragon ATGMs for the US side as options alongside newer stuff.

Dont worry, Marines dont get Javelins (iirc) because duplicating units across specs is to be avoided as a design principle. Perhaps you'd prefer the Dragon III from 2001? APS is a thing anyway, and stops any atgm (top attack or otherwise aside from double-tap missiles only some Russian vehicles get) on a 5 second cooldown. Used to be 1 second which was lol FPV's arent in sadly, hopefully its considered in the future Dandywalken fucked around with this message at 00:10 on Feb 1, 2024 |

Hizawk posted:This broken arrow public beta seems broken. Welp, I guess that's your regular beta woe. I managed to play 3 games yesterday though yeah, server was down a lot. Eligibility is still an issue...missing tooltip, text that's not scaled correctly, LOS tool is buggy (very slow, doesn't show range, bugs out and refreshes itself constantly, plain wrong half the time), no command line, etc. Income is also weird...it just goes up and down with no discernible reason (maybe because it only updates at an interval so it's hard to tell what's changing it). Infantry seems extremely weak. Their weapons are too weak to kill tanks, and even in building they get shredded by just MG. Unit count is quite low. I don't think I have more than 10 units on the field at once in any game. Zooming annoyingly doesn't go all the way out like Warno, especially when they have so many weapon systems that has massive range like cruise missile and heavy SAM system.

Dandywalken posted:Income relates to number of deployed units I think https://www.matrixgames.com/amazon/BrokenArrow/BrokenArrow_Basics.pdf Turns out there's a manual with lots of useful info in there. So income scales the total value of your deck and the total value of your deployed unit. One thing of note is that destroyed unit does not immediately change your income scaling. Your income only increase once the unit "respawn" in your deck.

So, Stormgate is just straight up trash, who knew? How the hell did this get kickstarted so successfully? It looks and feels like a much worse Starcraft 2 if SC2 were ai generated from a mobile game advertisement prompt.

Hating on a game in open beta is just going to draw in the people who feel the need to justify their investment to scream at you. Better as a content creator to wait until release and pretend you hated it the whole time. Idk the game seems like it's going to be Fine. It's a disappointment to be sure but it's also about what I expected from the game with no ideas. It needs a lot of polish to make what's there feel good to use but it's never going to be anything special unless the editor is good and a custom game scene can be built (unlikely imo).

I adore C&C but I will say it only really came into its own in RA2 and there was more differentiation between units than "4 flavors of tank with increasing cost and shootiness" TS was baller as hell and achieved that well but I think RA2 really hit it out of the park.
