even if they were treated as expendable cavalry (pretty much like every other soldier in the russian empire) they were capable of vicious attacks and were probably the best the russian had to offer when it comes to cavalry and ironically they weren't even russian in the true sense of the word.

Later on in Russian Empire cossack forces became pretty much light cavalry but I'm pretty sure even original Russian Don Cossacks have not originally been mounted. However, Zaporozhian Cossacks which are clearly shown in the trailer were almost completely infantry. Back in the day Khmelnitsky even had to ally with much hated Crimeans purely because they could provide light cavalry cossacks had always had a shortage of. Their strength came from huge amount of firearms used and general bravery bordering with insanity.
There's a reason Zaporozhian Host's emblem was cossack with musket.
Crusader Kings 2 is pretty fun. Lots of historical figures waiting to be kekolded and murdered in their sleep.
>>258111
Didn't know this, I was sure as hell than cossack = cavalry. Sure I fell for the meme.

The Mkb's were egregious and out of place, for sure. Couple of other guns too, as well as the mags on the PPSH's.
Starting with enemy guns was an unlock, though; It makes a good deal of sense, as soldiers often ended up with captured arms as the war dragged on. Lots of pictures of Nazis with PPSH's.

It's not hard. The problem is when vidya gets layered on top of Facebook, TV, and social lives it just contributes to wasting all your time.

Holy shit i'm so excited for bannerlord
For those that don't know, the mount and blade games generally take place in a fictional world that's allegorical to the real world, and bannerlord is taking place sometime around 860 iirc.

What do you guys think about age of empires 3? I bought it on sale on steam for like $7 and only played the tutorial. Is it accurate? Obviously, it won't replace reading and audio books.

Fuck you, you got me hyped now. It looks so good!
>>258279
>The Mkb's were egregious and out of place, for sure. Couple of other guns too, as well as the mags on the PPSH's.
MKB 42 was in battlefield testing at the end of 1942 so it's precence is so and so. I believe PPsH had the both the drum and straight mag from the start as earlier russian SMGs had problems with their drum mags
>>258385
One of the biggest balance issues in the previous games was that cavalry hitting infantry would completely cancel the horses momentum, although you could kill the guy you rammed with force, you basically had to stop the cavalry charge. This was counter balanced by allowing men to stab and shoot through their allies with spears and arrows, meaning lance cavalry was kinda op unless the enemy was defending a fort or it was a mountainous region.
As you can see in the trailor you can push your soldiers aside now, meaning cavalry will probably not get bricked walled by infantry anymore. I doubt this will mean stabbing enemies through your allies is fixed, but the games are always moddable so it could be fixed with mods later on.
>>258359
>3
The least accurate of the series. The campaigns are all fiction.
What /his/ games aren't just about fuckinnnnn warfare duuuude
>>258441
None
>>258339
THIS
Bear with me now.
The game is set in 1910 and the events depicted by gameplay are not historically accurate, but in-universe this is intentional. The bounty hunter protagonist is making up stories to try to make one of the people he's telling the stories to make a slip and correct him, because said person is an outlaw he's in pursuit of.
The game broadly follows a history of famous outlaws and gunslingers in the old West, and contains collectibles called 'Nuggets of Truth' that unlock explanations of the real life individuals and events behind the game's story.
BASED AGE OF EMPIRES
>>258441
Crusader Kings II comes to mind
EUROPA
BARBARORUM
>>258441
Assassin's creed probably. The story is laughable-tier for historical accuracy, but most the people are placed in the right time period and the cities are mostly reconstructed correctly. Not in Brotherhood though, way too much baroque before baroque was even around.
>>258477
GLORIOUS
BAKTRIAN
EMPIRE
>>258486
too bad Brotherhood is the best game in the series aside from that
>>258496
Yeah that's the sad thing. Gameplay- and settingwise Brotherhood was probably one of, if not the best game in the series.
>>258486
>the cities are mostly reconstructed correctly
This is honestly the only reason I play AC games, the settings are beyond beautiful. I try to ignore the cultural marxist narrative as much as I can and ignore the storyline altogether (although I do that with every videogame).
>>258493

>tfw you discover the different indianized hellenistic units
>mfw how the eugenisis hoplitai indohellenikoi look in their regalia.
baktria best successor state.
>>258505
well I suppose there's also ACIV but ACIV was basically great because it wasn't trying to be Assassin's Creed but instead more like the logical modern extension of the gameplay of Sid Meier's Pirates!
Speaking of which.
>>258441
- The Last Express (Murder mystery on the Orient Express on the eve of World War 1)
- QVADRIGA (Roman charriot racing)
- Children of the Nile (historical city builder)
- The Guild 1,2 or soon 3 (medieval economy, politics and intrigue simulator)
- Expeditions: Conquistador (kind of warfare, but focuses a lot on the RPG part. Not entirely historically accurate)
>>258517
Yeah definitely, Unity gets a lot of (undoubtly deserved) flack for launchissues and persistent bugs, but you can't deny it is graphically one of the most impressive games to have been made today.
>>258540
The Pirates of the Caribbean game was great with mods if you want ship stuff. The mods made every island accurate, and added some historic stuff to do instead of the main campaign (which was silly).
>>257499
This.
But I will say, as far as video games go, this is the most accurate depiction of politics out there.
I wanna play a game set in the Roman era but isn't TW: Rome or TW: Rome 2 - Senatorial Boogaloo.
Any suggestions?
Why do we have such shit standards when it comes to videogames?
Like everyone flips their shit about movies (Patriot, Braveheart, Gladiator etc) being inaccurate but then you ask what games are /his/ approved and one of the first answers is fucking Civilization.
>>257436
Game is a joke.
One more recommendation for you guys: Banished. Not really completely historical, but it is instead focused on building up a town with limited resources and harsh survival settings. I personally loved playing it, especially because it is really hard to truly 'win' per se. Mods make it even better, especially Colonial Charter, which gives the whole game a colonial theme.
The new update for the game should be out soon and it goes on sale (inb4 yarr harr, this is a game made by one guy all by himself) regularly.
>>257544
Not officially elite, but they were of impeccable quality.
>>258586
games are fluid and movies are rigid. Games can always be altered by the audience, movies cannot. That's the short answer.
>>258581
Ryse the son of Rome.
It sucks utter cock in both accuracy and game mechanics but well, it's Roman era.
>>258573
What's great about tropico is music though
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xn3L1OQlWs
>>258581
try civcity: Rome or Caesar IV. Or any Roman city builder, I believe there's a number of them. If you want something less warfare-y but still strategy-focused than TW you should look into Europa Universalis: Rome. It's a bit old though, most of these games are.

>>258603

It just so happens that some of the most historically accurate games are related to military and WW2 in particular, even though I'm not really a fanboy of that era.
>>258355
More like the 4th-5th centuries, I think. There's still an entity in the game analogous to the Wesern empire.

I played it more with a keyboard too. Still do from time to time. It had the perfect balance of difficulty and realism, and it could be adjusted too.
Other great games that are basically just set in a historic timeframe, for me, are Imperialism, and Imperislism 2. They're more resource management games than anything historical but they were fun and had good music

>>258153
cossack are the name of a people not just a regiment.
they had troops in all the trees of warfare but they're mostly known for their light cavalry like >>258111 said due to their violent and often reckless attacks and surprise charges.
they weren't as good as the scottish greys for example, nor as disciplined as the french dragoons but they sure were good at ambushing (and raping, looting and being anti-semitic as fuck)
napoleon lost many men during his russian campaign thanks to the cossacks who kept on rushing and ambushing the retreating troops all the way from moscow to paris.
but in the end they were pretty good soldiers,even if they lack the moral principles and valours of other nations professional soldiers - and that was a problem for stalin who decided to kill them all because genocide is always cool.some still exist and ironically lick putin's balls and behave like fucking lap dogs

Stalins problem with them was that they were monarchist, they are very proud of their religion and their heritage. Most sided against the reds and this was a problem. A major problem early on was that they were very anti-semitic, and most of the Red leaders in the civil war were Jewish.

True, but that's because there aren't many players. It's not a AAA title like Battlefront, and it's not free to pay, so it's bound to have a limited player count

What are you looking for in a WWI game? Do you want to wait a literal week for a artillery bombardment to stop? Just sit in a hole for 2 days doing nothing when you are not being attacked? Just chill with a gas-mask on as you wait for gas to come from the opposing trench into yours? Though accurate it wouldn't be not exactly wholesome fun. I do agree that the UI is shit, but it still is a beta so there is time to fix it. The whole fluid uniform thing pisses me off. The game is not the most accurate thing out there but at least it gives one a general feel for what the active parts of the war felt like.

It does not represent trench warfare, possibly mobile warfare.
But as you said, even a 50% realistic trench warfare game would be extremely unentertaining.
>>259043
lost empires added. like 8 new civs and African kingdoms added another 4. both are pretty good as each also adds new campaigns too.
>tfw no one will ever make a good Thirty Years War game
>tfw will never be Louis XIV, THE FUCKING SUN KING, and fuck spaniards, germans, and the whole of europe
>tfw never be a cavalier with a sick ass wheellock and ride dangerously close to pikes and firing into the lines
>tfw never be catholic german removing protestant scum
Seriously, why does no one love the 1600's? I can't be the only one? Siege of Vienna best day of my life. Venice v. Ottoman horde pls
Am I just looking in the wrong places or do people just ignore this era?
Hey guys. I am currently building a /his/ based Vietnam war game. It's aimed to be educational so I thought it would be better posted here than /v/. Basically what do you think should be in it? I have a bunch of scenarios planned (hamburger hill, Khe Sanh and Hue city) but beyond that and a basic ruleset I don't know.

Greatest ps2 game, and I'll fight anyone who even thinks they can prove otherwise.
>>261129
Well, I was planning on having civilian populations in each square which could be killed through collateral damage

Yeah, I dont play it in about 2-3 years and I still sing "Cuba te llama, oÃe la musica"

This. I loved it exclusively because of its music and charm.

Get Silent Hunter 3 to be exact
Install The Grey Wolves mod, Silent Hunter 3 Commander, and the little file that lets those two mods interact
Game is incredible
>>261133
Well, to be fair, I did get Britain to free India in a war prior to the Boxer's Rebellion, and I took Korea and Dai Nam. You did not. So take that
Vietcong is my all time favorite single player fps.

I meant you did not take Korea and Dai Nam. Take them while Westernizing, the Europeans are too preoccupied to intervene, and they have no spheres there yet.
Ryze: Son of Rome
[spoiler]how many people did I trigger with that[/spoiler]
>>260568
because by itself rome would be OP as fuck (not that it wasn't already fucking urban cohort shit)
and the technology/memory wasn't there to create a civil war in any other way
>>261302
Them dynamic borders
the multiplayer for M&B: Nappy Wars is fun as fuck if you get into a regiment/guild or whatever they're called
commander battles are also fun but a little clunky and difficult to get used to giving orders at first.
you would actually volley fire and shit its great.
Anybody else like Cossacks? Sequel soon.
>>261302
Been playing it all day.
>>261421
Joining a regiment is literally what killed Napoleonic Wars for me. It was fun as fuck to just mess around with friends in the public servers, so I got pretty decent and decided to join.
It was just pure fucking unadulterated prime-cut autism all the way down. This was a few years ago so I was around 19, and other than a friend who joined with me everyone else was 12-16 and terminally autistic. Retarded high-school edgelords who thought they were history buffs and had absolutely no idea what they were doing.
Is there any love on /his/ for The Operation Art of War III?
>>261490
sounds like you joined a regiment of fuckheads
I'm sorry your past experience was so bad, but anecdotal evidence doesn't cut it
This game was 2addictive4me

This is basically my Brazil campaign (My file was deleted, so this is approximately what it looked like... I can't remember what Europe and Africa looked like)
>be Brazil
>start a fuckload of wars of expansion with based Chile
>get Brit Bongs to help from time to time
>Take Liberia
>Make Argentina and Bolivia useless states
>did all this with a liberal government (first campaign so had no clue could change government)
>by the end all of Europe is either fascist or communist
>feels good
>>261492
Looks hard to get into.
>>261629
Yeah, it's definitely on the same difficulty as a paradox game such as Vicky 2 or HOI 3 if you're new, but it's definitely an easier and more forgiving "simulator"
>>261653
It looks easy on the system requirements though.
>>261662
It sure is, kek. I do recommend Unity of Command though. Super easy to learn, UI and gfx look slick af and has a great SP campaign
>>258599
If you guys got Pandora or similar genre music services, just search up "Latin Jazz," and it's all of the same stuff. I've been jamming out to some shitty homework and it's pretty great, though I'd rather be playing Tropico on my birthday than doing shitty statistical work.

>cities constructed correctly
>cities
Just the cities. The although the frontier was acceptably accurate in AC3, AC4 felt quite a bit off, and Rogue was a fucking disgrace. New York is actually acceptable, but the "River Valley" and "North Atlantic" areas trigger me with the horrible disregard for ANY accuracy whatsoever.
They game was still kind of fun, and was nice to actually have a game set in a time period that's not absolutely overdone, considering we had pirates, the two "freedum" revolutions, and Victorian london. All we need now is feudal japan and one of the world wars.
>>260405
Same event happened earlier today in my Ethiopian game

This. I hate that realism servers have veteran unlocks off by default when it's more realistic for veterans to have the enemy's gun. Even more hilarious when "historians" try defending it on the forum.
>>261490
This.
Besides, there's much better mods for Warband
>>259401
If someone created a game with a career mode like red baron, aces of the pacific and aces of europe but with infantry, that would be my dream game.
>>258339
Hearts of Iron 2 was better, I felt. 3 got a bit too complicated for its own good.
>>258355
Napoleonic wars, viking invasion, and Fire and sword expansions are worth looking into and historically accurate
>>257462
