The main thing I'd say is that it's easier to move units around. Trying to move a large force in Civ IV wont involve ever having to halt your forces to manage their movement because they became incapable of moving due to the one unit per tile rule.

>>929032
>IV isn't much different from V
Thanks for the wew of the day
>>929036
Ranged warfare, no unit stacking and hexagon tiles are actually a huge improvement for gameplay which makes it more complex and gives it tactical depth.
Diplomacy in V is shit but it wasn't much good in IV either. And city states are nice.

Good goy.
I suggest you don't go all out with your first game or two by starting up one of the bigger scenarios. A good starting scenario is the tutorial one, the Korean War, although I would say the Yugoslavia 1941-1945 (I believe that's its name) is good, too.

>>929499
There's naval warfare, yes. There are even a few scenarios that simulate battles from the times of Napoleone. I think there's even one that takes place at Marathon, but I'm not sure. It may be a mod. There's a bunch of mods for the game online which you may want to check at some point.
It's definitely not the easiest game out there but I reckon you'll get good by playing a few games on the easiest setting and by setting a handicap on the AI.
Also, another tip: the pop-up window when going over different tiles may not appeal to you (it didn't to me when the game got update) - there is a setting in the options to turn it off. I also turned off the fancy graphix but that's a matter of personal taste.
How role-play friendly is EU IV? I want to lead a perfect Confucian state to the domination of all under heaven.
>>928905
They're full of shit. The cycle goes like this:
> Civ game is released.
> It's worse than the older game.
> Then the first expansion pack hits, and it's almost as good as the previous one.
> Then the 2nd expansion pack hits and it's better than the previous one.
> Civ game is released etc.
The best thing about Civ IV was the Revolutions mod and now when it's out for Civ V there's no reason at all to play Civ IV unless you really really like Fall from Heaven II.
>>928905
I've played both, they are different, some thoughts:
V is not dumbed down, you have to plan ahead, however IV lets you micromanage better. Stacks of doom vs 1 tile is just a matter of taste, combat seems to be better balanced in V though.
>>928855
Medieval 2 and Napoleon as well.
>>929638
pretty much this right here.
Civ 4 and 5 are both good games in their own right, and I don't think civ 5 is "dumbed down" as much as people claim it is.
civ 5 is basically a macro game, the entire strategy is managing growth and playing to your strengths and advantages for a long time benefit.
civ 4 has a more micro-oriented approach to it, they are both good games in their own right.

War is far better handled in civ 5, and the shit war was a major flaw of the series.
Unit stacks were fucking retarded.
Darkest Hour.
It's a paradox game that represents the world from 1933-1964.
You can play any country at the time period and try to form the world in your own ideal.
There is also a good alt-historical mod called Kaiser Reich, which is a world built on Germany winning WWI.

Ppl who claim that one-unit per tile is superior to unit stacking are those who did jack shit at early stages of the game. Instead of balancing empire building, military, and diplomacy, they would build pretty wonders and do nothing but tech. They would piss of neighbors like refusing to give away a tech to a leader like Shaka and Caesar (who will declare war when the diplomacy status is "pleased"), and do things like having exactly one warrior defend a city. AI Caesar would then bring a stack-of-doom consisting of Praetorians next to OP's border and subsequently beeline to the nearest OP's city. AI Caesar would zip from city to city, forcing OP to post a comment like this.

It's pretty easy to play the Ottomans well enough to remain a great power. The true task is to play the Ottomans well enough to actually rival or be better than the other great powers.
Granted it's only 1862, so don't count your chickens. I hope you've secured some continental alliances so you can beat up on either the Austrians or the Russians. That's the real fun of an Ottoman game.
Mount and Blade Warband specifically with the mod 1257AD.
>>930813
Kek I would say RS is pretty /pol/ as well. It's usually the axis team doing terribly racist impersonations of Jap soldiers. The Japs are so fun to play in RS. I used to play the Americans a lot because better guns but goddamned if the camaraderie on the jap team isn't wonderful. There's nothing like cutting down filthy white piggus with my katana.
>>931773
Greece is allied with the British, who I have recently allied with to secure my position against crises (there were major flashpoints heating up in my territory). I have mainly been focusing on maintaining my current territory because I don't feel I have the manpower to go on the offensive against the Russians or Austrians (I have a big army, but I would be fighting on multiple figures); I think I could defeat any one country in a defensive war, but I am cautious about going on the offensive. My next plan is to complete the conquest of Egypt.
Currently #6 on the Great Power Roster. Made big headway on literacy.
I am pretty new to Vicky II, and the wiki said it was supposed to be kind of hard because of bankruptcy. Next playthrough will probably be Sokoto, which I assume is much harder.

Is there any game that heavily features baroque architecture / style?
>>928905
This might be a dumb reason but I genuinely think the reason why I can't play Civ 5 is because there is way too much neutral/open space. I hate looking at a map that has huge gaps of unclaimed land, it just isn't realistic to me. A big thing that drove me in Civ IV was getting to the lategame so I could see my empire pushing against the borders of my neighbors.
I really want to like Civ V because a lot of the mechanics (namely combat, which actually takes a little bit of thought) are way better. It's just the map and the fact that I have to travel so long to get to my opponent that irritates me.
>>934730

>>930697

>>936657
you are right, civ 6 should fill the map with tribes and you start off as a tribe, each with their own AI or player, we have the technology
also maybe ck2 tier potential for rebellions, so if you forge a huge empire you have to keep it together and enemy AI will form alliances to counter-balance you, this would prevent a positive feedback loop and blobbing
also the technology system needs to change, maybe every turn there is a chance a city discovers a new technology depending on the buildings it has which then has a chance of spreading to civilizations it has contact with, spreading quickly if you have a lot of trade connections
you gain a technological advantage not by having a larger economy and investing more in research (contributing to positive feedback loop blobbing), you have to foster the best conditions for technology and you can only gain a small advantage unless you are physically separated like the aztecs and spanish
maybe also terrain dependent technology, for example flood plains are great for agriculture early on, then agriculture spreads from this latitude, places like greece start to become productive during the iron age, then places like italy, then germany and france, then the mongolian steppes and so forth
in normal games you start in latitudes where egypt and sumer were, but if you want you can start as a mongol tribe and try to contend with more advanced civilizations until it is your time to shine

Fuck you Johan, just fuck you.
Back to playing Liquor Factory Simulator I guess...

>Skyrim
It's a shit game that one gets bored of in a matter of hours. Morrowind, man.
Crusader Kings II
Medieval II: Total War
>>938576
is it good or just bloat?
They're making a medieval mod for Attila if you didn't know
>>940694
>Morrowind
Extremely overrated. Not to say it's bad, but the Morrowankers have ruined it by building it up into something it's not (what it is a decent RPG, with some seriously broken mechanics, and some interesting visual themes). Deus Ex, Fallout 1 and 2, and System Shock 2 all have this problem as well.
>>940437
Even Kasumi Rebirth looks better and it's just 2D flash with the same animations.
>>928925
are those fucking laser rifles? bullets don't emit light
>>940946
this has to be bait
>>928794
Red Orchestra 1,2, Rising Storm, and Rising Storm 2
Call of Duty 1,2,3, and 5
WW2 Online
Verdun
Besides that I'm not really sure there are any good /his/ FPS games.
As far as board games go, Axis and Allies Global 1940 is a good way to spend several days. Especially if you get a few extra boards for double blind play.

Being a hyperpower is fun.

this
>>936882
That's in the game via 'they believe you are expanding aggressively' and cities generating unhappiness and thus spawning rebels
Also the science and culture makes sense
Small 13 states rapidly change from colony to republic
British empire leads to masses of innovations due to excess raw materials
>>936657
Well then play on a 'small map' but add 3 extra players
Or play 'yet not another earth map pack' and be a European civ with over eu civ's

is it any good for wanking? played modded fo3/nv/tes4 for good wanks. how does it compare?

Oh, and Insurgency. Although discussion of that conflict is precluded by the 20 year rule.

>what are flamethrowers
If your team is worth a shit, and it usually is since players stack the shit out of the nips since it's ezmode with Banzai, flamethrowers can't stop the banzai. Like I don't know who thought to make suppression/banzai that strong, but they need to get nerfed slightly because you end up having a fucking seizure shooting at a single jap and even if you hit him it's not going to do any damage the first shot because LOLBANZAIMEANSNODAMAGE so you're going to get stabbed. It's going to happen. It's literally empty your weapon and pray the zip bastard goes down.

You are just really wrong.
>>940597
Man I know that feeling all too well.
You're in my thoughts and prayers brother.
Back in the day I must have played civ2 for hundreds of hours as a kid, it got me into strategy games. I'd like to play them again, is civ 4/5 worth buying? Been hearing lots of different things and I'm not sure.
>>941598
Civ 3 is best Civ.
>>941623
civ 3 wont work on my computer
>>941598
I personally really really really liked civ 4. then i tried out civ 5, didnt like it for the first day, then I really really really really really liked it. Maybe its not hardcore /his/ related, but I still really enjoy it. I love playing w all leaders, true start locations. Its such a clusterfuck over in europa
>>941661
What are you running?
There's patches and methods to make it run on everything up to 8 that I know of. Probably ways to get it to work on 10 too.
>>941702
win 7. Could probably make it and civ2 run with enough messing around but in my experience no matter how hard you try it always leads to some kind of bizarre gaming breaking crash or bug and you dont want that after playing for 50 hours and spending hours getting it to work, its just a pain in the ass.
>>941485
>flamethrowers can't stop the banzai
Spoken like a pleb who doesn't have the achievment for wiping 10 or more Banzaiing Japs out in less than 10 seconds.
>>936882
>also maybe ck2 tier potential for rebellions, so if you forge a huge empire you have to keep it together and enemy AI will form alliances to counter-balance you, this would prevent a positive feedback loop and blobbing
Na..don't like this. This would mean that players have an incentive to keep their empire small, which goes against the very philosophy of Civ game. Empire size shouldn't be dependent on AI alliances, and vice versa.
>also the technology system needs to change, maybe every turn there is a chance a city discovers a new technology depending on the buildings it has which then has a chance of spreading to civilizations it has contact with, spreading quickly if you have a lot of trade connections
This would result in players setting up a pangea map all the time because only this will provide the most number of trade connections early on. Same type of map all the time means low replayability value. Furthermore, you'll probably build the same type of buildings all the time in all of the games. If so, the tech that you would get would also be almost identical in the order you get. This would mean very similar outcomes = low replayability.
>you gain a technological advantage not by having a larger economy and investing more in research (contributing to positive feedback loop blobbing), you have to foster the best conditions for technology and you can only gain a small advantage unless you are physically separated like the aztecs and spanish
Why shouldn't the empire that has put effort into building a massive economy and expanding its size through war be rewarded with quick tech advances. Every actions that has gone to benefitting the empire in the long term should be rewarded not punished.
The last two points would result in low replayability value
>>941725
Best achievment is killing japs with their own sword
>>941485
>flamethrowers can't stop the banzai
That's the dumbest thing i've ever heard, flamers counter banzai perfectly
Many times i've seen a bunch of japs charge only to be wiped out by 1 guy with a flamer
Japs suck dick
Wont be entirely accurate due to Attila's damn map editing restrictions, but this might be pretty damn good, and as close to M3TW as we'll get for a long while
>>943043
On the topic of Total War, what are some good mods for Rome 2 or Attila that focuses on historical accuracy, realism and depth? I want some good quality autism in my life and I'm getting tired of grand strat after playing CK2 and V2 to death.
