Dominions 4
Prepare to summon suns to scroch the land, accelerate the whole world so every unit starts aging faster getting all sorts of nasty attributes, prepare to freeze the seas so the underwater nations can't get out or in, preapre to summon giant globs of dead bodies that can go out of control and literally take over the entire map because they end up unkillable, preapre to make generals that can with the help of some magical artifacts take on on entire armies.

Oh god yes, I just wish there was more variety to it.

If you take a tower (or take back one of your own) it seems like AI will then attack you relentlessly so don't do it till you're ready. Also figure out how many towers you need to spam along side each other to deter AI from agroing you. Bit cheap and can get boring, I'm sure the korean esports scene does it differently.

The people making TG3 are the same people that made Superpower 2, so they seem to know a thing or two about making niche simulators.

They also have this series of articles about their planned AI system, which sounds interesting:

Motherfucker are you serious? Disciples 2 is a god damn masterpiece in game design compared to the abomination that is 3. It's barely playable with the expansion but god damn they ruined a fantastic series.

Feels fucking bad man.

Cultures 1/2/Northland were my fav games as a kid, campaigns weren't great due to the repetition, but fuck huge custom maps were just the best.

I really wish there were more village management/building games with an emphasis on the people.

The Guild series had potential, but is overall pretty shit and the Sims is about the closest i've found.

Nothing wrong with MOBAs, anon. It's what people want to play. Nobody is stopping you from enjoying the old RTS games, but the demand has simply decreased. I used to enjoy RTS a lot as well, but I just don't have the attention span anymore, and mobas are comfy.

Battle Realms.
It's a very unique RTS game since you actually have to actually train your soldiers.
By default you get a peasant hut that constantly produces peasants for free, you can send that peasant to a Dojo and train him as a spearman, or to a shooting range and get an archer. You can also combine different units by sending them to different training buildings - archer sent to an alchemist's hut will come out as a huge sumo dude with a huge artillery cannon. And if your unit goes through all of the training buildings he comes out as a Samurai that's pretty decent against everything. There are 4 unique factions, fighting animations are really well done and it even has a non linear (albeit pretty silly) campaign.
It went unnoticed when it was released due to being close to WC3, that was released only a few months later.

What are some alternatives to Settlers?

Wanted to play through S4 but it seems the game is broken on a bunch of ATI cards on Windows 10. Played through S2 gold recently, thirsting for more games like that.

Why do all the recent settlers games have to be complete and utter dogshit? The one where you control fixed size segments of the map and have to fight at certain control points killed any interest I had in the series.

Two things: Get your economy done correctly. You can also change your food for mines, so everyone gets fish at first until bread and meat are produced.
Secondly, the ai is retarded and you can abuse it. If one tower of the ai gets attacked, it send all units to defend without attacking back on their way to said tower. Also keep as little towers for yourself, it only attacks if the ai feels strong enough, not when you gather all units around your few towers

>>345465479
It's a fucking awesome game with great replay value since almost all playstyles are viable. Completed it as an archer, melée fighter, thief backstabber, mage, and combination of them all often.

The only thing that new players going in need to be warned of is the cryptic bullshit you have to solve in order to progress. I ran around for ages in the catacombs, trying to find the solution to progress further down each level. Don't even get me started on the part with the 6 runes you need to arrange.

I played it last year for several hours. The arcade like combat is really fun and doesn't require much to learn compared to most other more complex space simulations.
I just got bored at some point when it was pretty much do everything in this quest hub, then get a mission to go to the next system and do the same. But the story was pretty gud and fun to follow. Sadly I never had the chance to play it online, where people could be pirates, like a mini eve online
