if you aren't playing Civilization or Age of Empires, can you even call yourself a Gamer? <:doubt:448311464353202177>
civ 3 was cool i guess
Civ highlights what traits lead to successful civilizations (at least the first games)
do you have civ 3?
nobody researches "wahmens voting" <:what:448311923025510410>
I do have it. Haven't played it to be honest but I want to... I prefer the 2D graphics over the 3D
I played it a few times
Hearts of Iron IV allows for the possibility of some pretty based alternate histories
I have civ 3 shared to me on steam
Hearts of Iron seems fun but the learning curve is a bit daunting
My HoI IV won't load thanks to mods but that was a fun game
I've been playing civ 6 pretty regularly even when I'm at work
Indeed, Risk is to Axis & Allies as Axis & Allies is to Hearts of Iron IV
as far as strategy goes id say the best games ever made are most of the total war games, Star wars battlefront galactic conquest (the og 2nd game) and banner lord
my favorite is Age of Empires 2.... it's even made a massive comeback after 20 years. Big tournaments happening. Healthy community. There's enough to it to make it endlessly replayable, with so many civs and map types
And of course there's mod so that the nation leaders, generals, and admirals are all anime waifus in HoI4
helps that Definitive Edition has been released... expansions and updates frequently
HOI4 can hold your hand a lot too, you can outsource a lot to the AI
Don't expect the AI to do wonders, but it can help you focus on things you want to learn first
it just seems like there's a million controls in HOI4 that are very complex
I'm too old for super extensive learning curves
I could host a MP game to show you the ropes
you can be two (or more in one nation)
And for first game, be the US, it should be easy enough
yeah, nothing to do for the first 10+ minutes
and good industrial base, and safe from being invaded
yet
well, I've not seen AI Japan or AI Germany pull of a landing in the US
oh... I normally play as axis. But by then research is done and my framerate has tanked so I always abandon the late game before I can finish off the US
Age fo Empires 2 expansion pack is based.
I wish I had a system to play it tho. I miss unleashing my viking hordes on the britons.
system to play it? the requirements aren't that high....
My laptop will not play the remastered edition or the standard.
It downloads the standard but will not launch
Do you mean HD edition, or DE (Definitive Edition) which is quite new?
Definitive
I have the old edition cds and Definitive on steam
And the list of states is in the article
