Well done on the image op.

Bless the faithful.

>STALEARIS
You have one job.

ONE
JOB

Should've been Hyperlaris

it's accurate because it is a STALE game

No. It must be objective, with all the memes out. I'm not surprised that the horatiofaggot is a shitposter, but I'm surprised that the gang shitpost too.

t. NO FUN SPIDERFAG
Get the fuck out.

>everyone i dont like is spiderfag
kek

Smells like spiderfag, talks like spiderfag, autisms like spiderfag
Therefore is functionally spiderfag.
Go fuck a black widow.

>hates spiderfag
>must be horatio shitposter
Fuck off horatio.

Spider sauce when

So I WANT to get into Cities: Skylines, but if the starting maps are this incompetently made I don't think I can.

Now you're just making it too easy.

Because say what you want about SimCity (2013) but at least I could actually make parallel roads.

...

>that samefagging
Embarassing!

How else are you supposed to get warscore? xD

>spiderfag to dumb too understand ip counts in Veeky Forums threads

>tfw no Aurora with a focus on economy instead of military
Sad

tfw you spend weeks playing civ VI, because civ VI hype, trying to figure out the game. It looks so nice. The new gameplay mechanics show so much promise.
No matter how many times you tweak the map or what mods you try, you just can't seem to get a satisfying game.
See Endless Legend in my steam library.
>that game had some cool combat but surely it can't compete with civ VI right? I mean Civ has always been the best.
After many a more frustrating hours of trying into the Civ VI finally decide to give Endless Legend another go.
>Instantly captivated.
>Instantly fun.
>Instantly feel like I'm in control of my empire again.
>oh EL i should have come back to you sooner and should never have doubted you.

It's just amazing what a pile of garbage civilization has devolved into. The gane was released yet again in such an unfinished state that it' s unplayable.
And after a year there is literally no attempts to try and fix the game although they're still able to push out another shitty dlc every other week.

>how to fuck up near perfect game

The sauce must flow

google nancy bonds

> civ VI hype

What hype? Anyone can tell you that it's the worst Civ launch, and the worst 4X launch since SotS2.

I forced a hyperlane only game and research-cheesed to be the only guy with Jump Drives. There's a Devouring Swarm with twice my fleet desperately following me around as I jump between two spiral arms taking his planets.

I can see why Wiz didn't want to have to try to balance this.

How do you research cheese?

You need the Milk strategic resource I found a ruined Science Nexus right next to my house and focused on bringing it back up.

But to do anything with a science nexus, don't you need major mineral income, thus forcing you into the same playstyle as everyone else?

You're making the first newbie mistake, extening the initial highways for a reason beyond providing a foundation for an initial 4 lane avenue or roundabout.

That wasn't an attempt at a city; I was extending the initial highways to test if the map would be viable down the road once I started to expand.

It's not. At least not until I can expand to the outlying tiles, and even then I would have to manually rebuild the pre-existing highways one-by-one.

Nah, just like 20 or 30 k.I kept my planets under ten and focused entirely on defense and building up my infrastructure. Once I had my defenses set up I could bleed off the larger empires by ambushing their transports and getting their doomstacks stuck on one planet while I built up a counter.

I actually got up to 58k mineral limit several times while waiting for the ascension perks I needed. Spent my time refurbishing a ring world.

>everyone i dont like is sipderfag
dumb horatiofag

...

So, what was your approximate date and monthly mineral income when you began the nexus project?

I don't remember the exact date, but average mineral income was in the 400s.

>Enemy AI declare war and capture one of my cities/systems/planets
>My own army/fleet is close to reclaiming it
>Allied AI comes turn before that and take my city/system/planet on its own and refuse to give it back

Every 4x game, everytime.

By the way, how much would be "1 population" in Civ IV? Aka, how big would be city with 30 pop in real life?

>By the way, how much would be "1 population" in Civ IV? Aka, how big would be city with 30 pop in real life?
That doesn't make much sense.
Historically, cities and populations were mostly stagnant or oscillating. Its only thanks to modern agriculture and medicine that population really started to grow.

Not if you had migration to it.

I just want to imagine what kind of monster must had been AI in Caveman 2 Cosmos game where it once captured my 150 pop city and razed it instantly for no reason.

Nope.
Cities actually had to sustain by immigration. Because historically, people died faster than they were born in cities.

youtube.com/watch?v=JEYh5WACqEk

It's a logarithmic scale. A 30-pop city has much more than 30 times the number of people than a 1-pop city.

For Civ 4 the exact formula is 1000*Population^2.8.

So a 30pop city would have about 14 million.

~1.24 billion deaths.

>Caveman 2 Cosmos

thanks for reminding me this unfiltered, concentrated autism exists.

isn't it literally impossible to finish (or even get a bit into) due to loading times getting absurdly long after you'd played a while?

Holy fucking shit.

Why AI likes to raze cities so much?

I stopped caring about that everseething pile of putrid garbage after every single settler I've ever made got killed by one of the millions of random fucking wolves simply because settlers can't attack back

Childhood is hating Miriam because bullies you with her bullshit +25% attack units

Adulthood is realizing that Miriam was right

Nah, like 4 or 5 years ago, it was still somehow playable until very last techs but then I realized that by mistake I allowed "mastery victory" or something like this, which wold null every other victory conditions, instead making them give bonus points when turn limit will hit. Which would take way too long. Second game was played on medium map and lasted until half of tech tree, when I reached culture victory. Was bearable however.

I wonder how would it run now. I mean, back then I had i5-750 CPU, now I have i7-6700k since last year so I wonder if that would speed things up. It did in case of Civ V where I finally could play largest map with many civs active.

I can't speak for the AI, but the problem with conquering people is that you have to govern them afterwards. If you just put all 1 billion of them into death camps then the problem is solved permanently.

>the worst 4X launch since SotS2.

Beyond Earth still exists

>Discover continent that nobody else claimed yet, in C2C renessance period
>Doomstacks of wolves and other wild animals

Wolves hunts in packs, Arisen.

What's wrong with BE besides "it's not Alpha Centauri 2"?

Why don't you just escort the settler with a military unit?

>Thing is hyped up as Alpha Centauri 2
>It's not Alpha Centauri 2
>not by a long fucking shit
>"what's wrong with that lol"

fuck you

SotS2 basically killed its developer, reducing them to the point that they had to shift to roguelike games (the genre where hobbyists compete with each other to make a game over the course of a week). Beyond Earth was just a commercial flop.

>implying I cared about the hype
I didn't even consider playing the game until long after the release

isn't it still absurd, like 60,000 turns to reach the time limit and endgame being in space and shit?

i would like to play it some time because it seems like the cutting edge of how far you can push a game with mods

ok

I cant really recall but it was more like 1000 turns limit.

Anyway, I still liked it and would play it again, to be honest. Week long games are actualyl kind of fun.

>tfw only you actually enjoyed Beru-Beru despite all her flaws

I guess its because I played Rising Tide first instead of base game at launch.

Fuck off thundertits.

alright, I probably had it hyped up a bit, It's still hueg and impressive. Do you have to be a vic 4 pro to actually understand and enjoy the mod?

It's just a 4X game on marathon mode. It's not complicated except in that the only people autistic enough to play it are welfare cases whose PCs are too ancient to handle modded Civ 4.

It obviously have never been beta tested.

Neptunia is fucking cancer.

Not as much as horatio.
>inb4 "lol i post sauce aren't i le the provocative!!!"

Lower-class British teenagers calling everything they don't like 'cancer' is fucking cancer.

Britbongs are gross. They have buck teeth, and delusions of grandeur, on top of being giant hypocrits.

>it gets spread around by gay weeaboos like metastasising cancer
>it chokes all life out of non-weeaboo shit
Sounds pretty cancerous to me.

Ha, the british is angry and starts to shitpost.
Typical teenager behaviour : "if I don't like it, I'll shit the thread so that nobody else can use it !!!"

Is this the idle games general again?

Could somebody explain to me why AI is overall more powerfull than me despite having much less colonies, way less technology discovered and such?

stellaris might as well be an idle game
sit doing nothing for 10 years while your research finishes

AAAAAAAAAAH!!!

Every FUCKING day with these STUPID fucking MEMES! I've had it up to HERE with stupid fucking memes! You guys make me want to KILL MYSELF! Is that what you fucking want? For me to fucking KILL MYSELF and write on my suicide note "Cause of suicide: Couldn't handle all of the stupid fucking memes, killed myself"? Because that's what it might as well fucking say!

You guys are literally, L I T E R A L L Y incapable of having even the SIMPLEST of fucking discussion without "MEME THIS, MEME THAT, HAHA HORATIO SAUCE, HERE'S A PIC OF SPIDER, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA EBIN AMIRITE?" Fucking STOP IT you pathetic fucking FAGGOTS, you are such fucking cancer that I cannot even fathom how you fucking scumbags live your dumb gay lives. Don't you have a job to get to, schoolwork to finish or a family to attend to? Do you literally do ANYTHING productive with your lives other than post stupid fucking memes on the video game section of a god damn anime imageboard? You fucking people make me sick and you're damn lucky I don't have any of your fucking addresses you fucking pieces of shits. I'd spit in your faces.

...

shoo shoo yank mongrel

...

I don't usualy post these, but since (you)'re asking so nicely...

Surprise, it's America hours.

What the fuck is wrong with this thread? For once, we have an OP that isn't me or horatio, and people are raging even more than usual.

...

I didn't know november was autims awareness month...

Maybe getting the autism out early prevents it from festering.

stopped reading halfway

Is this guy complaining that you need a military in a 4x game

They're sensing weakness and atemting revolution.

Next time, I'll make the thread, so that we can have 20 nice posts of me saying Horatio to stop fucking himself, and then we'll go as usual, talking shit about Wiz, complaining about Supreme Commander, and talking about Unreal.

I like killing rebels. It's like free XP.

Or you could just stop being an autist and trying to hijack threads with your off-topic shit?

Dude, calm down.

>it's a burgers can't comprehend curved roads episode

...

Military power is probably rated higher, considering that you could get annexed in a few turns.

Please respond.

Also, how the hell AI actually get such population? Fucking 45? With no farms?

The AI always cheat.

Your spy made a typo
Or maybe they have different mechanics or something

>non autism OP
Thank you.

i miss this pasta

>Every 4x game
Well, not Stellaris because of the occupation system

forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/doomstacks-the-death-of-strategy.1053569/

Even Paradrones are complaining.
