Nebulous is a lot of fun. I think it's supposed to be naval combat but in space. The guy making it is apparently a USN guy or something.

Games like the Civs, Total War, and new XCom all haven't figured out that they're not great vehicles for really in-depth anything yet keep bolting on more boring bullshit. There's nothing wrong with being a beer and pretzels strategy game done well.

Has anyone played this: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1096930/Strategic_Command_World_War_I/

Is it any good? I've not played any of the titles in the series but I've been on the lookout for a WW1 game in this style.

Why are you falling apart? Most countries don't do that unless you actively make the wrong choices.

The easy way out is to join the British customs union. They usually have a stable market that you can carve out a niche in

Nevermind I just got into a customs union with GB and that seems to have stabilized basic consumer goods prices.

the true coh strategy was to let it’s poo poo pathing direct retreating squads of infantry to underneath hostile tank treads

We used the pionier bullshit where if you set up tank traps and put one point of HP into them they act as fully constructed to trap a Brit player's HQ truck in the first minute of a match and made them rage quit.

The game was dumb

Didn’t DAK deport the French Jews living in North Africa?

Apparently so The Holocaust and North Africa

The Holocaust is usually understood as a European story. Yet, this pivotal episode unfolded across North Africa and reverberated through politics, literature, memoir, and memory—Muslim as well as Jewish—in the post-war years. The Holocaust and North Africa offers the first English-language study of the unfolding events in North Africa, pushing at the boundaries of Holocaust Studies and North African Studies, and suggesting, powerfully, that neither is complete without the other.

The essays in this volume reconstruct the implementation of race laws and forced labor across the Maghreb during World War II and consider the Holocaust as a North African local affair, which took diverse form from town to town and city to city. They explore how the Holocaust ruptured Muslim–Jewish relations, setting the stage for an entirely new post-war reality. Commentaries by leading scholars of Holocaust history complete the picture, reflecting on why the history of the Holocaust and North Africa has been so widely ignored—and what we have to gain by understanding it in all its nuances.

Yeah but did you hear about that one story with Rommel telling a South African officer to stop being racist???

COH games are basically RTS games for people that never played Close Combat and Relic has never been good at making games. They're good at art.

I first got access to a KV-1 and at the very beginning of the first mission I got to use it its engine froze at its starting location.

I like it, though it has a long way to go. Plenty of Polish and DDR stuff still absent. So far I prefer it over WARNO.

The next DLC is supposed to have a full Polish and UK roster iirc. But yeah, it's a good game. I like how it's all about positioning, suppression, and force concentration.

It's even better. A lot of the devs are very proud and call it "Paradox's first materialist game".

The reddit complaints about landlords have also reached the C-levels of the company, and the executive class is having a witch hunt for communists because they're convinced there's a cabal of communists using Paradox to spread evil communist propaganda.

It is just genuinely stunning to me how completely and utterly they missed the point of colonialism. If you play as Indian minor, you end up only focusing on high end goods because that brings the most revenue and there is nothing stopping you, and you become the UK's main manufacturer of weapons\locomotives\etc, while it's the UK that ships raw resources to you.

Wait is this real because the reddit posts about hating landlords were fantastic.

I realized after playing over a decade of TW releases since Medieval II that I don't actually like any of the TW games since. They keep ramming so much poo poo into the games, but the whole point of the TW strategy layer is to set up context to ram army mans into each other.
