In my most recent game I managed to wipe out a civ while in the Classical era for the first time, and literally everyone I've met so far declared war on me, though I have yet to counter an actual assault, disregarding Pedro throwing a few warriors my way
Why is this happening now when world takeovers in later eras only result in mass denouncements and nothing else?
Even while experimenting with playing as Germany and deleting my first settler and taking over via recruited barbs, wiping out civs in the Ancient era hasn't provoked this kind of response
And they don't think I'm weak, because all of them said something along the lines of "The odds aren't with me, but I war you anyway"
Does sharing intrigue actually do anything?
>>124769547
it's a small diplomatic bonus
>>124769547
it gives a tiny diplo bonus
ES2 alpha playtest when?
What are the funnest victories for EL? I keep going science but restarting autistically before 100 turns. Still never completed a game yet.
>>124778621
>funnest
>>124779969
It should be a word so I use it
>>124778621
not fuckin' diplomacy
>>124778621
Quest ones, as they are different for each race.
is 4x kill?
>>124783501
No, in alpha.
Is there any good wonder/building mods for Civ? I am currently using Games of Throne/ASOFAI/LoTR wonder mods and there is not enough wonder and building to build, especially toward the ending era
>>124768653
I know that feel. My most recent game with Community patch, I spawned in the Americas as Germany alongside Celts and Korea. Early game I removed Boudicca because she was creeping on my land with settlers. Now it's year 1950 on epic setting and Ive been at war with the world all at the same time. I have not started a war since classical era, and I keep getting warmonger debuffs because the Maya, Shoshone, Isabella and Dido keep on attacking me. I had to force Global peace accords in congress just to stop them from attacking me. Only reason Im not drowning in warmonger now is because I've liberated 4 city states from Isabella.
shit
>>124790894
embark nigga
that or use the shitty bridge to your advantage
>>124791037
actually it was totally fine
>>124791306
Wow, i am quite a begginer, but, are the vaulters war machines, the lords shit at fighting, or the hero is actually compensating for half of the army ?
Or did you just managed to win trought skills alone ?
>>124792023
I would say he won because
- He upgraded his units 5 times, so they're probably a lot better than the broken lords
- Marines are great
- He probably used the chokepoint to minimize contact
>>124792182
>>124792023
Its a custom faction with both optimal offense and defense traits
>>124792023
like >>124792182
said, he used the choke point
heroes, even at low levels, have anywhere from three to like 5 times the health of a normal unit, along with higher stats overall, and his units are most likely upgraded, along with two of them being higher level than the stalwarts
every one of his units is ranged, given the battlefiend, best case scenario he could get 4 attacks onto one enemy unit each turn. while the enemy has 1 ranged unit, that only appeared turn 3, and is vary fragile.
most likely, he could run that exact battle with the remainders next turn, and still not lose a single unit, while the computer would lose most, if not all
>>124768347
>>124792023
AI puts units at the field in a very retarded way, chokepoints don't help it either.
I bet it had units standing on the reinforcements flags at the start of the fight.
>>124791306
>meanwhile, the ai has finished colonizing my continent
When is Endless Legend getting a fucking discount? I want to play it but I don't want to pay 25€ for it.
>>124795431
literally every single holiday and sometimes just for shits and giggles
so in 10-14 days and at 66% off
it also had one 8 days ago, so you know, keep more of an eye out
>>124795538
>it also had one 8 days ago
Well, fuck.
>>124795625
just wait till christmas then, if you dont own any of it, the new content is already 66% off in the bundle, but i think only 25% off on its own
considering they marked it down that much like 2 days after it came out, its already a deal
>>124768347
So when's this or ES2 coming out?
I need a good graphically immersive sci-fi 4x and Firaxis has forgotten how to make games that aren't XCOM.
>>124798726
es2 doesnt have a date, and the artbook from 1 still isnt out anyway yet
but knowing those frenchies, sooner than you would expect
>>124795431
FALL SALE LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AGO HOLY SHIT DO YOU LIVE UNDER A ROCK
>>124801257
>artbook from 1 still isnt out anyway yet
ES1 artbook as been released a while ago, we're waiting for EL+DoTE one.
>all the maps i make crash
>>124768653
Yeah if you start wars very early you´re gonna get DOWed hard. Later on you can just buddy up with someone and soften the blow but early game everyone will try to wipe you out asap. Best civ for really early game wars seems to be the Huns since few civs can counter their rams.
>>124782404
Late response, but I never even thought of that. My only issue is that I wouldn't know how to plan out for it because I don't know how the quest goes. I guess I just get a good balance of FIDS and military going?
>>124805578
for civ5? I'm interested in playing custom maps.
>>124813325
Yeah

I hope you squeeze as much enjoyment as you can out of it anon.
>>124818948
Good luck, I could only get 16 hours out of it compared to 153 in Civ5

>Foundation is Best Trilogy Edition
Foundation is pretty damn good
So i'm wondering.
Do Total Conversion mods for Civ V disable steam achievements? I'm working through myt backlog, and i'm using achievements as a completion substitute for a campaign. But Base Civ V is pretty sterile.
>>124824348
Anything where you have to go through the mod menu disables achievements
Which unit is best infantry unit in EL? What about best cavalry unit?
![outpost[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/w02itxq.jpg "outpost[1].jpg")
outpost 3 when?
>>124823879
My dick couldn't repel science fiction of that magnitude
>>124825468
NEVER EVER
>>124832506
>no game will ever have as realistic a research system where you assign scientists to a field and randomly unlock techs from there depending on how many you assigned
;_;
I never feel fast enough in Endless Legend
The AI always feels to be one step ahead, especially when it comes to taking over regions
ded bump
>>124810791
>and military going?
I think Wild Walkers are the only ones with a race quest that doesn't require conquering a region with an enemy city, so definitely don't shirk military.
>>124833239
that sounds terrible
>>124843176
it's great because then you don't know what you're getting
>>124844117
but i want to know exactly what I'm getting
>>124845082
there wouldn't be a reason to do science if you knew what you were getting
>>124777796
Q1 2016.
>>124840026
Forgotten too, but they do still need to find regions.
>>124824803
>best cavalry
Cavalry are utterly useless in EL. Fliers do everything cavalry does and do it better.
>>124848736
>flying units can't cross water
what's the point even?
>>124848802
Cliffs and forests
>>124848802
>>124835102
It's pretty similar to civ in that you can really only spend the early game catching up to the AI on harder difficulties
4chan is dead and so are we
Does anyone still play Endless Space? I guess it's never talked about because it's old, but eh.
>decide to go cravers
>literally two systems including home system before warp, both on wormholes
>both systems have only one planet each that is colonizable before 3rd tier colony tech
>rush warp
>the first warp leads to a full colony, influence area and everything
>the other side just has an outpost on the first system from a different AI
>can't break past them to colonize elsewhere
>can't build a sufficient military with only two systems with shit production
But I still didn't admit defeat until my home system and colony became depleted. I have never been so screwed over by a start.
Why does the AI love Order so much?
>>124853095
Well we're both back in business now
how does co op in endless legend work?
if i ally with my bro in the multiplayer campaign and one of us wins, do we both get credit for it? or is he technically an enemy?
hey dedgeneral, I'm coming from /gsg/, I'm thinking of starting up a 4x, which one is the bestest?Is Civ5 better than Freeciv?
>>124768347
>mfw no matter what it roll, deity will rape me with glass and sand
>>124798726
This look like a Age of Wonders 3 mod
Anyone got a link to Endless Legend with a all DLCs ?
Nothing good on KAT
Is there a steam group or anything?
It would be nice to have somewhere to try and organize games of EL etc
>>124855834
EL does not have team gameplay
there can be only one
>>124858362
Guy, there's a steam group link in every general's OP
>>124860065
sorry, I meant is there a steam group that actually does anything?
I'm not going to add 200 odd random people on the off chance 6 of them might randomly want to commit to a multi hour game.
Why aren't events used at all? There should be a recurring event for Friday night games or something; it'd send out a notice and there'd be bound to be some takers.

>>124768347
I be rollin like I'm at Cinnabon
>>124857461
starting up if you've never played one, id say either old faithful civ5 or even 4. 4, arguably has better gameplay, but it definitely looks worse, if thats your thing.
that or new hotness endless legend
theres alot more 4x to play, but civ5 is the most played to my knowledge, and EL has alot of new fans talking about it often.
for both civs though, make sure you get the goty or complete edition, whatever has all the dlc. for 4 its a little less mandatory, they definitely make the game better, but 5 is kinda shit without them.
endless legend doesnt need the dlc to be good, but they definitely help like civ4. you could hold off on them for EL though till christmas, since pretty much anything amplitude makes goes on pretty big sales, very often

Great fucking idea.

do you not?
seriously though, i do use the mod that makes every scout have the shoeshine ability, and just makes theirs better
>>124890216
I don't. I play with the hand I'm dealt.
>>124890285
I can do this on Settler too.

Might not work so well for Civ V, but being able to negotiate settling rights for an unclaimed region would've been real nice in EL
>>124890285
i dunno, i just dislike the two layers of rng massively helping early game, but i like ruins enough to not get rid of them
>>124889334
>>124889903
easy fix:
use the turn number and game id as seed for the rng, so if you reload the exact same thing will happen again, just like in xcom
>>124895438
No need for a fix, nobody cares if someone wants to spend 15 minutes reloading every turn for maximum efficiency. And in MP, there,s no savescumming.
>>124858041
AoW3 has much better looking cat waifus.
>>124898083
Yes
This probably isn't the right thread, but seeing AoW3 is allowed maybe i can still ask anyway.
In Heroes of Might and Magic 7, which Necropolis Hero is best?
I'm torn between
>Naadir (+1 ghost each time a stack of ghosts kills at least 1 unit) + badass portrait
>Layla (+60 mana), but it has grandmaster Prime Magic, which i want badly
>Giovanni (flanking bonus)
>Lucretia (vampires drain 70% of damage dealt), the idea of a vampire doomstack is tempting.
Is Grandmaster Prime magic worth it on Necromancers? I liked the idea to cast two spells each turn, but maybe -20 magic on the second cast makes this worthless?
>>124898083
say that to my face bro
about to play endless legend for the first time and i'm going to play as the wild walkers, any tips for a newfriend?
>>124901582
you need to research one time resource "buildings" to convert production to resources
the panel showing what buildings are already built is hidden away near the top middle of the city overview, kinda confusing
to get a trade route you must have a road building or a dock on all cities along the way
those were the things that really puzzled me early on
>tfw getting Forgotten as neighbors
Oh boy, here I go killing again.
>>124901582
in general early game, you want to research your industry building, and then one of your science buildings.
all techs are good at any point really, you'll learn which to get when pretty quick, but remember FIDSI is the basis of the game, so consider them somewhat important
>>124901746
>>124903712
Okie thank you for the advice and wish me luck on my first playthrough
>>124904640
really the only way you can fail bad on your first game, is messing up the tech tree, and missing/skipping good things, while grabbing sub par ones
if you do alright, or even just blatantly fuck up, vaulters (mezari) are the other suggested beginning faction to play, and they get a tech advantage, so that might help game 2
oh, and look for the army increase size tech when its available, 4 units is ALOT weaker than 8 units with a hero
and even if you dont get the equipment techs, dont forget to upgrade your gear when you have the dust and advance eras
>>124768347
roll
If you set the max turns to 1 and turned on time victory so that the game was over straight away, how would the AI behave? Would it be boring with no victory type to aim for or would it's behaviour get interesting?
>>124907707
Talking about CiV I mean.
>>124907707
It can´t really behave in any way if it has only one turn? Can´t even instantly DOW you because you haven´t met.
>>124907938
I think he means choosing to continue playing
>>124908039
Oh. Well in that case probably will turtle up and play defensive/neutral.
>>124917016
Can he get any uglier
