The only parallel is that you're a Ukraine tier zogslave if you think you get anything out of fighting Rumburg. At best you sacrifice hundreds of thousands of your people for something only the superpowers will really profit from.

Makes sense. I think some random groups can occupy abandoned forts and some other site, so that then they start showing up on the embark screen as civs, But so far had only ever seen kobolds do that.

last update on the fort before bed, we have breached the caverns and immediately started slaughtering the local tribes, no dirty frog people yet though

Is the steam version downgrade? I went throught reviews and noted some people said it lacks something from the original game before steam.

>>1740733
Yes, for at least a month/a few more months/a year or so, then it will be at parity content wise with pre-steam.

Good concept, poor execution.

Why doesnt my starting city have any associated territory? How do I expand?

>embassy now consumes jews
oh god oh fuck why

>>1740747
You only have your capital at the start, you have to buy or conquer territory.

>>1740762
There's some territory nearby with very little people, I presume they have no garrison. Can I just waltz in with 10 guys and claim it as my own?

>>1738665
That's true, however I still think your original idea of orders being lost, delayed or captured could still work, albeit it would require messengers to agree not to lie and comply when captured.

>The Swiss were armed with very long pikes
they used shorter pikes actually, they ferocity come from them being freshly converted, freshly liberated mountain Negroes and them having big surplus of males in harsh environment
similar tactics(of bayonet charges) was done by revolutionary France

>>1737746
it was more similar to how rioters fight the police
with braves charging up close and throwing shit or trying to bonk somebody from opposite team
well trained/spirited forces could try to charge and bonk enemy in mass and enemy would resist or fold back

>>1737585
maybe in earlier titles with moral shocks that could easily rout whole armies
now when both sides have high morale so they need to grind each other before one side breaks(or just get killed)

>>1738648
Just design one yourself. Field of Glory Empires is basically just that, another game/program which runs off/on FOG:II logs.

Keep grinding, you'll get better eventually unless you are handicapped.

Get bow saw right away, get wheel barrow when you can afford it and have many farms. Build your first town center on wood, you are going to need more lumberjacks as you expand and the TC will give you faster access and secure it a little more. Also build farms if you are booming or going for infantry or cavalry

Just play Field of Glory: Empires, a game superior to imperator in all ways.

how do you unfuck evasion in BTA
shit ruins the entire game

>>1740334
Maybe, depends on how the evasion changes got added. If they use something like permanent evasion as a separate mod it's easy because you can either change the settings in the mod folder or outright remove it.
Might fuck with other shit though.
I'd check but I don't really want to bother installing the mod.

Lmao. If you refuse to fire because you have low to-hit then HBS has fucked up your approach to BT.
Base HBS is so fucking easy it's insane. Just get behind and aim shot to the rear torso anon. If you're frightened of a world where shots are 100% and you can't just land them wherever then good. You're growing.

Are you retarded? The first version of chess did use dices to determine which piece to move. It was rng allergic autists who ditched this because they were convinced that this way of playing was better.

>Reminder that chess doesn't even have a placement stage like superior board games like GO
I fucking swear, 95% of all people who claim "go superior to chess" are brainlets who never played go and are too retarded for chess. Thus dropping this bullshit in every argument they get with anyone who defends chess.

And yet you have nothing to say about Seega which is my preferred game of the three despite having no community or following around it.

>>1735242
>It's not played competitively
But it kind of IS. The community is often filled with people who get a faction win then change things up, admittedly, but there are large multiround competitions held every year.

Besides if we're talking about tactics games with rng that have competitive scenes there's Field of Glory.

>>1739634

I found the story very charming but the gameplay a grind

>>1740395
>gameplay a grind
Feel that way too, my dudes are always way underleveled when the game gives me the main quest, it's as if the exp is balanced with only 2-3 parties to power level and stack permanent traits, then the dev added morale and injury mechanics later to pad shit out. And it's weird to have quest with recommended level 6-8 when the power spike between level 7 and 8 is huge because you unlock better skills/spells at 8.
Also dex classes are shit unless your dudes have good strength growth from traits because fire emblem stat bullshit of physical damage tied to your STR.

>>1740447
>stat bullshit of physical damage tied to your STR.
I think it is pretty widespread, dnd has this too.

dnd has finesse weapons that scaled damage dealt based on the user's dexterity. This game has classes locked to one type of weapon, and both dexterity based classes are based on STR to calculate damage as opposed to DEX. Add to the fact that both DEX classes only has 50% strength growth, and you have one hell of a pair of shitty classes that only crit for shit damage at range, while STR classes can take hits with their heavy armor, deal good amount of damage in area, can spend resources to increase their accuracy on lvl 1 eliminating their lack of DEX to hit shit, and can charge to enemies on lvl 4, and INT classes deal better damage with magic and has utilities on the top of that too e.g. buffing resistance, debuffing enemies so they can't attack and move at the same time, bypassing resistance by using different spell elements, etc.
