Your point, and reddit spacing, implies you're, as they say, toxic and arguing in "bad faith". A specific culture that I can't say I like much of.
I like that I don't need to bribe someone to get something done, I like modesty that rejects getting tattoos, I like a language that's not as atrocious as German or even Finnish. Did you know that a lot of the world doesn't believe in independence of family members or their property? I like cultures that do. They're the more advanced ones too.

Have you ever noticed how astronomers never make claims like "this is the largest planet"? Instead they say things like "this is the largest planet in the known universe", or "this is the largest planet out of the regions of space we surveyed"? Can you understand how Murray's claim is different from that and why his "scientific method of quantifying human accomplishment" is bullshit?

I have 918 hours in Coh3 and I disagree

File: 83147832_p0_square1200.jpg (18 KB, 250x250)

This is a series managed by people who have golden formulas but refuse to refine what works and instead try out something entirely different. So I lost hope that they'd ever look back on CoH2 or Coh1 and try to return maintenance.

I respect the continued support for Coh3 and hope they get the game up to speed in terms of not just technical aspects but game balance as well. At the moment though it's hard to pick the game up and play. I think that's why the player count still floats low for what ought to be the dominating sequel.

It doesn't help that a lot of CoH3's mistakes show that they did not keep any old staff around given how many balance issues were lessons that ought to have been learned in the previous two games.

>>1753450
but russians hate coh2 due to its truthful and accurate depiction of the red army

>>1753869
Coh 3 is an attempt to course correct after the steaming turd that was coh 2. Weirdly enough that steaming turd was around long enough to attract some flies, which are now complaining that coh 3 isn't also a steaming pile of shit.

Vanilla coh 1 before op fronts was the best coh. Coh 3 is a close second. Then coh 1 op fronts, then coh 2 in the gutter.

Those who doubt have no clue about the beautiful elegance dance of vcoh and just want to build up their retarded mega armies and watch things explode.

The writers for this game should be dissembled and reconstructed into biocircuitry.

>>1753572
Reporting in having played it, it feels better than the demo. It has improved.
It's not homeworld and both the story and gameplay are at fault.

>>1753635
>Woman in bodysuit growing giant
>Not hot at all
Impressive
Why the fuck are there multiple minute long cutscenes out of gameplay focusing on individuals? Having the characters talk as the game continues against the ambience of space and your big ships slowly taking position or firing long ranged attacks is like the entire point. Why spend all that effort animating something that ultimately takes away from the game?

>>1754342
Because the focus of the story is on the women, not the Hiigarans as a people.

>>1754096

Serious question, but is CK3 at least worth trying?
I tried playing a game of 2, but the 1066 start date devolves into overpowered crusades and the other early start dates have their own massive issues.

Theres really only pike and shot and maybe some total war mods. I used to play a little flashgame sidescroller where you controlled a whole pike and shot formation, you could purchase more and more guys and specialists like Doppelsöldner with Zweihänder and halberds. Your enemies were bog standard fantasy creatures like orcs etc. It was pretty simple but entertaining for a while anyone might know the name ?

>>1736012
>the 16th and 17th century.
Probably the least well known european centuries right next to the couple hundred years between the dissolution of west Rome and the crowning of Charlemagne.

>>1733581
Probably part of it is that it's impossible to represent in a 1:1 manner and requires some degree of abstraction to properly depict something like an encounter between two mixed units like tercios. Pikes have been abysmal in every Total War made after Rome I, for example.

>>1734326

Fun fact, the Rocroi is one of the fucking smelliest cheese you have a vague chance to find in a normal supermarket.
No, this has nothing to do with the battle. Just wanna avoid others the potential trauma if you are visiting the region.

Bad gimmick because modern devs are too retarded and brown to make them fun.

>>1753041
It's fundamentally flawed. You always start with very small armies, filled with levies and junk militia, and end up fielding massive legions of elite units. Paradox system is the same.

>>1753976
thats not population, thats recruitment which could easily be solved with unit caps or doing it via Med 2

It's a bastardisation of Hegelian dialetics, yes, but otherwise spot on.
If the new Fallout TV show is anything to go by he might have achieved his civilisational synthesis, just not with the NCR considering how the Brotherhood seems weird now.

What the fuck, haven’t watched the show because bmwf casting (yes I’m a chud) but it sounds like they actually made the brotherhood way cooler than it is, in any of the games. I wish the brotherhood leaned into a much harsher and religious style like that. In fallout 3 they are just neoliberal libtards, fallout new vegas and 4 they are just a chud paramilitary

I wonder how those naval highways work. Having sea battles would be better, but the AI is usually so incomptent at patrolling their shores (invading Britain on the first 5 turns in ETW is easy as fuck) that this might be somewhat of an improvement.

It was only a few years into the game as well wtf. So much for carefully marrying your sole child and heir off. That’s fine though, I now own 6 fiefs (3 cities 3 castles) within the Southern Empire while everyone else has 2 or less fiefs. Idk why the ai loved me enough to allow me to obtain so many fiefs, but I’m so stupidly fithly rich it’s actually a pain in my ass to spend my money and I stopped bothering to ransom prisoners and looting battlefields (expect for very good loot or war mounts).
