>I play RTS for the 'comfy' city building
I really hope non of you do this.
>>338088781
I did this.
>>338088781
Literally the best part
>that friend who suggested that 'you build first'
It always feels good to zergrush you faggots
>>338088781
Literally the only reason I play it
>>338088781
Plebs live in cities; factories are for pattricians
>>338089043
It always feels nice to defeat you faggots through judicious base building.
>>338088781
Every time I play HoMM3. If I'm not concerned about winning it's actually pretty easy to stabilize your position that leads to an impasse between you and the AI, and it will pretty much completely leave you alone after a while.
I wanted this in Knights and Merchants too, but the game just wouldn't let me.
>Spend hours free building in Stronghold
Like I give a fuck how you feel about my playstyle

Fuck we were such scrublords, but fuck man, all that Cold War diplomatic shit was cash
I do. I always get crushed though.
Did they ever remove the bullshit 200 pop limit? Never understood why modern games past 2010 had that other than muh competitivefags.
Playing empire earth on the biggest map on continents from stone age. Shit was cash.
>>338088781
I played AoE only because of this
I do.
What are some comfy-tier rts that reward "turtling" to the extreme? I don't want offense. Just want to build a nice comfy base
>>338088781
I like to think that the decline of RTS was at least in part due to the rabid hatred most developers seemed to have for all buildings and stationary defenses, which eventually drove off too many players.
>>338090098
MY NIGGA.
That was the comfiest shit.
>>338088781
that's the best part of rtses, building a cool settlement
competitive rts players need to go fuck themselves, FPSes were the go-to competitive game and RTSes should have stayed for fun
>>338091292
Forged Alliance. Your bases will generally always look the same because you need to balance space, adjacency bonuses and explosiveness of power generators, and turrets are still technically a waste of pop compared to mobile units, but the AI is both aggressive and retarded enough to provide for nice tower defense games.
>>338088781
Are there any good medieval simcity-like games?
>Inb4 Banished
>>338092215

>>338091292
>reward "turtling"
Why the fuck should a game reward you for playing it safe?
>>338092117
Turtling in FA only works against the AI though. Any good human player will rape you, because you don't have mapcontrol.
If you want to go ultra comfy in this game, I'd suggest trying out some of the countless wave defence maps.
>>338088781
>dropping 20+ cracklings and a defiler inside your enemies pretty sim-city
feels good
>>338089043
>not taking his advice and building photon cannons at enemy base entrance, then behind their resources
I used to play Age of Mythology online with my friends and we had a rule that the hostilities only would begin when everyone had built their city. Good times.
I need to know some good rts to play with my buddies. Base building is a must and unit diversityWhat they do not what they look like
>>338090637
>other than muh competitivefags.
you have competitivefags?
>>338088781
Literally me, I miss base building
RTS Stories?
>Played Rise and Fall Civilizations at war
>Online 2v2 Rome vs. Persia
>Map is basically a bunch of bases overlooking an underlying quarry with resources
>Both build up bases
>Go on offense
>Conquer 1 member of the other team, they run and hide at their ally's base
>Own ally also gets subdued
>Down to 1v1, with our allies being our bitches
>Conquer quarry, besiege enemy base
>Can't infiltrate base, soldiers, even cavalry are cut down by catapults and towers
>Decide to go hero mode (A feature where you go into FPS and control an OP hero)
>Go stealth under the shrubbery while my troops invade base
>Single handily cut down all of the catapults that kept killing my troops until all of them were just a bundle of sticks
>Enemy invested all of his capital on catapults, didn't have enough troops to subdue me
>Successfully invade base with entire army, win match
Fuck, I miss this sort of shit. Why can't they combine a first person perspective with RTS? Was it really too hard for normalfags to comprehend?
>>338092423
Building horse archers is playing it safe. Building fortifications is not. Especially in games with dedicated siege weapons that literally delete everything that can't run away.
>>338092895
No mans land

>>338088781
"20 minute no rush"
>>338088781
I did this until I moved towards emire management/4x kind of games.
>>338094327
Jokes on you faggot because I still did this with Sins of a Solar Empire.
>not playing warcraft 3 with a comfy all dwarf or all troll base
i loved the wookie architechture in star wars galactic battlegrounds
it made for such a messy, sprawling city look, really nice for basebuilding
trade federation had boring looking architecture which kind of makes sense but it's still boring
I mean no one plays RTS anymore, so you get your wish one way or the other.
>used to play rts games with friends
>had one that no matter the game, no matter the agreed upon rules, would just spam the first combat unit and rush
>eventually we got sick of him and started walling off his base/resources, and killing all his workers and military buildings
>he'd spend entire games yelling at us in chat because we wouldn't let him build up any army while we built cozy cities and built up our own armies carefully
>People from /v/ want top play Tiberian Sun
>"sure"
>Game is organized
>FFA 4 players
>Singlehandely kill all three in the early game because they were all building walls and pavement
You guys understand that the objective of an RTS game is to KILL the opponent right?
>>338088781
I prefer city building games. Especially in space, like Space Colony.
>>338093236
not a story but

LMAO jus rush ebry tiem who care xD
>>338093236
Ever play Battlezone?
If not, play Battlezone.
Best RTS games for dumb fun. What do you recommend /v/?
>>338096115
Yeah, and when you suck all the fun out of the game for the sake of that one objective, you get a dead genre.
>>338096849
>Want to play Sim City
>Missclicks C&C
Their fault.
>>338088781
I did this. Started way back with C&C Tiberian Sun.
I've never been able to get into RTS games because I always sucked and wanted to make it all look nice
Fuck me
>>338088781
Literally the only reason to play an RTS
>>338094791
My negro. I loved turtling as orcs or humans, even if it was a shitty strategy.
desu senpai the battle section of anno 1404 was shit
>>338096849
>>338098482
>>338098484
>"if u dun play da gam liek i do U PLA DAH RONG GAEM RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
>>338099049
To be fair to that anon dude you're basically doing the same thing. Sperging because someone doesn't play the game how you want.
>>338099049
>I play in a way that isn't designed which makes me lose the game, totally fine!
>>338098630
I always wanted to take my time and build up a well-balanced base instead of all-inning on offense/defense.
>>338096115
For a lot of people that's not what's fun, hence why custom games were/are so popular.
>>338094791
I liked blinging out my heroes too much to be passive in WC3.
Still spent too much time on my bases. The 'reception area' in nelf bases where the shop and all the moonwells are, defended by tree guards, made to look like an elegantly asymmetrical garden, and human towns with dozens of towers nestled in little bunkers made out of farms. I actually managed to win several games for my team by breaking multiple enemy armies in my towns. Holy fuck the joy of an undead attempting a ghoul rush then getting stuck in a corner between several moonwells and a couple of frisbee cats.
>>338099030
>ad hominem
>with a reaction image
>it's a comic from 4chan
>and a strawman
It's like pottery.
I mean, yeah, doubling down on econ and teching up is never a smart opening in any RTS ever made, but people like you are why I stopped playing against randoms online.
>>338088781
Are there any games like that for the 3DS?
>building comfy cities in rts
>no rush
It's like you don't like to harass with a few units and taunt when you proceed to steamroll them.
>>338100410
nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu if u dun want to fight with nothing but shit starter units ur playing the game wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111
>>338088781
I sure as shit do.
RTS is my cozy go-to.
>>338100820
Yes, it's exactly like that. I don't enjoy that.
>ITT: plebs who play against AI because its le comfy
>>338098482
i'd rather it be dead then shit
So glad RTS is dead.
>>338088781
>RTS
>comfy
what
maybe if you play on default difficulty vs. bots it's "comfy" but if you're not always on your toes then you're playing an RTS wrong
>>338090238
I hate multiplayer.
>>338101626
Ironically, you lot made it both.
>>338100823
What in the fuck are you even on about.
>you now remember there used to be an /rtsg/
>you now remember /rtsg/ died a cruel death
>>338102206
Someone shitpost it to death I'm guessing?
>CoH
>Vire River Valley

Comfy
>>338097845
not him but bruh BZ was the shit.
I never see anyone on /v/ talk about it.
BZ2 was fun for building and modding.
>>338102980
I have ~300 hours played in COH2. I'd like to say I enjoyed it given how many hours i have, but i'm not sure if that's the case.
I rage quit / rage uninstalled that game so many times due to outright broken units, terrible bugs (like machine guns setting up backwards), and fucked game balance that I'll never play it again.
What broke me was BAR american spam that would just run straight through an MG cone (if it even set up the right way) and spraying down my MG squad with no losses taken.
I even installed it again the other day before promptly uninstalling it because I realized that getting mad about bullshit wasn't worth whatever fun I'd have.
FUCK COH 2.
Fuck it so hard.
>>338103363
Play CoH1 then.
>>338103363
It's weird how the only genre that ever got reactions like those from me was the RTS. I reinstalled Rise of the Witch King the other day, lost all of my veteran cavalry to a single angmar sorcerer, killed the game through procexp and wiped every trace of it off the hard drive.
>>338101815
Can't be wrong if I'm having fun.
>>338104303
Because it's horseshit when you have game mechanics that you are supposed to master to be able to be good at something, only to have them subverted (either by bugs, hackers, poor balance, whatever) so that you get fucked in the ass.
MGs facing the wrong way for MONTHS and not getting fixed was absolutely intolerable and heinously retarded. Why should I play a game that the devs obviously don't give a fuck about?
I don't even get that mad at other vidya, only COH2.
>>338104789
Even CoH 1 had it's own weirdness, but CoH 2 takes things to the next level, including RNG when it comes to tanks firing at other tanks.
>King Tiger shoots an enemy tank to the side
>Almost no damage dealt
Oh, okay
The first time I ever played SC2 about three years ago, my buddy and I were playing online. I think it was 2v2, and it was our first real online match.
I don't know how the guy managed to do it but it was only like 4 minutes into the match and he absolutely DESTORYED us with a huge army. I wish I could watch that replay and see what happened, to this day we still have no idea and we haven't touched online play since.
>>338105021
>ISU wipes your full health, full model vet 5 squad from outside screen range on the first shot
'no'
it doesn't necessarily have to be RTS but what are some good games where the point is to make a comfy base to hole up in and weather attacks? all I can think of is dorf fort
So is ashes of the singularity even remotely anywhere near as good as SupCom?
>>338105651
Absolutely not
>>338105651
God no. It used to be a tech demo, as a game it's a trainwreck. Avoid.
>>338105920
>>338105810
What a shame. Also, isn't it one of the few games out right now that uses DX12? Or am I mistaken?
>all these faggots who're upset at people who rush them while they're trying to build their city
That's why you have to establish a militia to go with that pretty little city you're building, idiots.
>>338089294
>all those objective mistakes
It just ain't efficient sempai.
>>338106165
Stop jumping up and down, we heard you three hours ago.
>>338106165
Won't matter because the autismo in the game will just put everything into making an army, and if you don't put all your focus on military you'll lose.
>>338088781
I play RONs. Come at me.
So are there any good recently released rts?

Fuck comfy fags, who /competitive/ here?
Been playing on AoE2 HD, ELO around 1875, mostly play on fast speed, team games, RLM, 300 pop cap.
Celts are so fun to play.
I miss playing as Saracens.
So any competitive lads here? Anybody want a fight with me?
