>no lore
theres lore you are just mindless hater who never even played the game, it avoids the biggest flaw of most city builds which once you figure out basic building block game becomes kinda solved and only variety are campaign maps once those run out its over, Against the storm not only has different random quest every match, biomes with different resources which completely change the gameplay, great progression system and difficulty scaling, it has self generating campaign map which is different every time. Not to mention its very polished and has great UI (will admit its confusing at first cause it has a lot going on). Theres a reason it has overwhelming positive reviews on steam

>good but barebones

Completely agree, I want much more differences between races architecturally for example and unique building graphics for things like homes and production buildings based on race. I also want processed foods other than bread.

Song of Syx thread since last one archived.

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1162750

It's a low fantasy city builder in the vein of Caeser or Pharaoh series. Oh and for whatever reason, the creator decided to over reach and bolt on a total war component so you can micro like an RTS while taking over the world. City builder is pretty much done and the latter has the foundations in but still unbalanced.

Demo is free-forever and is only a few versions behind the latest stable, good to try so you know whether you will like to core gameplay.

Fantasy means many races with their strengths and weaknesses like Vegetarian pigmen, tall dwarves twice the size of humans, cannibal elves lizards and bugmen. Oh so you want to min-max with all these races don't you? Well, too bad they are all Racists as fuck and prone to murder each other without careful planning. Good thing there's a very robust slavery system for you to prosecute and exploit the undesirables yes?

Finished my bloodline rush run
>Started as the count of frisia in 769 become vassal of Saxony and falsely convert to nordic invite the last Merovingian to my court and convert him making his monk trait null married him to my dynasty while reclaiming my father kingdom and converting back to catholic
>Said son of Merovingian reclaimed his fathers kingdoms from the Karl's and married of into their families too Create the Holy Roman Empire and become a saint
>His son spend most of his time consolidating his realm and participating in the first crusade,most of the kingdom become nordic because the Merovingian guy falsely converted and started a cult.Erase every bit of nordicuck sympathizer.His reign was so long that i manage to get 50k of prestige and piety combined and his successor came in just before he died of gout being a satan spawn
>Satan spawn come to power take the crown from the pope hand and become excommunicated,participate in a crusade and the pope forgave me,become the most schizophrenic character by having the voice of jesus and being zealous at the same time being leader of the satan order. Finally he becomes old and i won a crusade for croatia reaching the 100k score beating capetian dysnasty.
In total i had 7 bloodlines with him with 2 being from the in game mechanics (heir to alexander and saint bloodline)
The other ones was Karl Martel,Merovingian,First Christian,Visigoth King. His nephew last in the direct line of succession had 10 that being the Venetian Doge dysnasty,Khazar Dynasty and The Breton king dysnasty (i'm using historical bloodline mod)
I held most of Western Europe by the end of the game
Pretty fun overall which only becoming boring by the last stage like every other paradox game
Next its the agot game where im the duke of red lake and already have the blood of the Dondarrion and Arryn trying to become the king of Stormland and next claim my right in the Vale while at the same time trying to intermarry into the gardeners dynasty

I'm very curious if Pink Panzer has learned anything since TNO. Has he finally learned to respect his players' time by not bothering them with unnecessary text in a strategy game, or has the new game given him new opportunities to spread his unbridled need for graphomania?

The hours you will spend designing new ships in the shipworks and testing them out in the campaign is not "short" by any means, kek.
>>1693263
This is my only complaint about it. You can only choose your own ships once, and must work with them under a very tight budget (unless you tinker with the save files)
I'd enjoy combat a lot more if I weren't scared to death of losing my only functional heavy cruiser in this side of the map. Though I guess that is also realistic

Previous poster here. You are right in that way. A bad harvest would mean eating moldy bread, disgusting beets and whatever the hell could be considered edible. I didn't say, "they would eat somewhat well for half the year" for no reason at all. At least there were relief measures by nobles (who didn't want their clients to die) and the clergy (who didn't want their parish to die) to alleviate some of the pain. The middle ages weren't the Irish potato famine, where soulless Anglo vermin, mind-raped my Malthus, would just let the micks die off or flee, while maintaining autisic laws about not shipping grain to Ireland

Well what specifically do you suck at? If you suck at macro, you can watch any of a million youtube videos to get an idea of how to macro more efficiently so your industry doesn't suck and you have enough material. If you suck at combat, it could be because your macro sucks, or because your division templates suck, or because you're not paying enough attention to supply/terrain, etc. Generally speaking the easiest way to succeed at combat is to just macro well, build up a large air force with good fighter and CAS designs, and let airpower win your battles for you.

You can actually win the game as Germany, without ever going into war, just by building a lot of planes. You can also help Japan win over the allies, with coups and volunteers. It's more fun than to micromanage an other eastern front campaign all over again.

>>1738579
are the airports in your controlled province or did you just build them in ally controlled territory? If you control the province your planes should have priority on the airport.
