id play it if it was free
dont want to give this guy money because his cold war game was garbage
Isn't his Cold War game just a free webgame? Or are you talking about something else?
*Were free
Hypothetical, subjunctive mood
I played a bit. Its interesting and there is a lot of variations in playstyle depending on who you are playing, but the core loop kinda gets repetitive. but there is a frickload of content, if you are interested in that period I would say its worth it.
and its completely open world, you can do whatever you want. theres no railroading. the overall concept is really cool, just gameplay gets boring
How long does the game timeline extends? I think It's be fun to bring back the young emperor towards the more culturally unified (i.e not Manchu-exclusive) china
>timeline extends
It doesn't
It's a collection of scenarios with fixed goals and end game after specific number of turns.
Also:
Why the frick would you bring back a Manchu emperor? It's as if Finns were trying to bring back Russian tsar
IIRC the side that won the Finnish civil war was led by a general (technically a Swede) who trained and served in the Russian Army, and was chummy with the other white generals, to the point it's not implausible He would have helped them if they weren't as fricked as they are.
And yo answer your question, for "legitimacy", where having a puppet emperor to counter/steal a bit of the Manchu population support for their warlords, while prioritising Han ministers and reforms
Shame, miss me with that one then
Mannerheim personally stated he would've supported the tsar over Finland.
If the game was set during Russo-Japanese war we could get a Mannerheim cameo, as he was travelling around China right after
>miss me with that one then
That's one of the chief reasons why this game doesn't pick off any meaningful playerbase - nobody gives a flying frick about limited time scenarios. The sandbox of all China, starting 1925, is at this point a trolling point, because nobody has any faith in Cinetik's promises to deliver it, especially given the sluggish pace of dev and being constantly focused on making yet another scenario. Besides, scenarios are easier to make, so no surprises here that he's focusing on that stuff instead..
It's not that the scenarios wouldn't be fun, but then you need a some sort of Campaign to chain them in a meaningful way.
Well then tough luck with that, either, as the scenarios are just random events from early-to-mid 1920s that happened in China. The only "theme" they share is that you are asked to play as a default the underdog force in them - and if you pick the strong side, you just steamroll everyone else without issue, while having maybe tenth of features to toy with.
anyone can drop steam files? csrin doesnt have them and i wanna play it.
Buy the game, then refund. It's not secured by anything at all, no need for crack, workaround or anything. Literally just copy files to another folder before you uninstall and refund
I am broke ass mf mate, I'd do it if I could, but i need money for that
>I don't have 15 bucks to spare and then instantly get back 30 minutes later
Why are you shitposting on Ganker, rather than working, if you literally don't have pocket change? I would understand if you were iffy about refunds or refunded a lot recently and afraid that steam would withheld your money (the game is certainly not worth those 15 bucks), but in any other situation, you are either a literal child or a terminal case of neet. Not sure which is worse
it's on igg
NTA, but that version is pretty buggy and outdated.
>but that version is pretty buggy
Same goes with the one that's on steam, so not much of a difference
It's on iggames
https://mega.nz/file/wQd2DIpD#97ArzKVlC50a3TF-VYcRl5dMfNs4Z5fWZkW2pD5x8kk
yeah it's outdated and i wouldn't trust igg, heard lots of talk about getting shit from their site
>Sincerely, unironically downloading anything from igg
How the actual FRICK are you supposed to play as the GMD in the little model china scenario?
I never have enought rifles or money for my troops and i cant conquer the whole of guangdong without bandits poping up everywhere and destroying my income. I have already restarted 30 times and i just cant seem to get a grasp on the early game without wasting 50 turns to consolidate the first 5 towns before even thinking about the northern expedition.
>play meme factions
>get memed
You play each and every faction the same way:
Muster extra soldiers in the first turn, weapons don't matter, then train them into max status with your best commander. Your faction doesn't have good/any commander? Play different faction. The turn you have maxed out training, take over the entire province. Combat resolution is completely fricked, all that matters is having max-out quality and 10k or more soldiers in your stack, everything else is a non-factor, unless you have machine guns and/or artillery. If you do, then you want your stack to never exceed 5k troops, so it can operate even in the poorest of poor provinces, and enemy will always send troops after you, since the AI only uses stack size to evaluate its chances, even if it has a spy planted in your army.
Also, since the game is broken, simply spam supervise ability when constructing stuff in any of your towns. This will cause it to advance ALL buildings - even the ones you aren't building or can't even access - by 10%. Set it up to 90% or more, but not actual 100% with that ability and then progress naturally with construction. Otherwise, expect to be wiped out by mid scenario, because half of the features doesn't work and you wasted time and money to build non-functional shit.
Damn it, how many virgins do I have to sacrifice for there to be a GOOD warlord era game for once?
>b-bump again!
The game is dogshit. No amount of bumps is going to change that. Just let it die, homosexual
NTA, but I'm gonna bump the thread again, just to piss you off
>to piss you off
>Dead thread about shovelware gets revived from page 10
>AUTISM MUCH?!
Imagine being on a video game board and killing time by acting moronic, rather than either discussing or just straight-up playing games.
Look im going to be real, i dont really want to learn a janky game. I much perfer easy to learn hard to master kind of games, so my question is, is this easy to learn?
No.
It's deliberately and intentionally as obtuse as feasible. The "manual" for the game openly trolls you about expecting any sort of gameplay explained, and the game itself is such a piece of jank, it's hard to tell if it's just so arbitrary and hard, or half of the stuff just doesn't work. Or maybe even both. I've lost track how many times I've started to preach Confucian values due to horrendous UI and somehow clicking a button half a screen away from my pointer.
I did.
Very, to the point of being barely playable.
Play the demo, then imagine the actual, "full" game thice as janky.
t. defended a Master thesis about Central Plains War
t. also caused Cinetik to have a meltdown after calling him out on shoddy scripting and never addressing a bug that breaks the 1925 Hong Kong strike scenario
Which faction is "maestro" wanking this time?
Hard to tell, but he clearly has a hate boner for KMT - it's not outright slandered, but he puts a lot of effort to blame them for anything short of earthquakes, hailstorms and whooping cough.
To be fair: virtually all literature on the period is negative towards the KMT. They were quite incompetent after all.
To be fair: you read none, and are just parroting memes
Granted I only read like 2 1/2 books on the period but I've yet to see anyone who studied it give a positive spin on the KMT.
>Game is set in 1920s
>yet to see anyone who studied it give a positive spin on the KMT
I guess ending the warlord era was a net negative, then
it was hecking "kino", anon
everyone dying of banditry and starvation was like in my favourite fantasy novels
KMT is tarnished by their ultimate failure. Temporary success is not very interesting unless there is some great leader who was backstabbed or something mixed in.
This is a game about 1920s not 1940s, anon
I was talking about the 1920s KMT.
I didn't mean to say that there was absolutely nothing positive about the KMT, but most authors and people that have read about the era seem to harbor a clear distaste towards it as they barely bothered to fix most social ills of the time such as opium addiction or rural poverty. The party itself was also complete clusterfrick with constant infighting and even Sun Yat-sen himself was involved in several political and military fiascos such as the Anti-Yuan war of 1913.
Even warlordism continued well after 1928 as most warlords just switched their allegiance to Nanjing instead of Beijing.
Pic related.
Do I need to handle you a list of preliminary reading on the subject or something?
Last time I've checked, Taiwan was a modern, prosperous democratic country with strong industry and army.
Because "maestro" always has his personal wanks in his games. New to his sloppily made clickers?
>Do I need to handle you a list of preliminary reading on the subject or something?
Not him, but I'd like that
Also nta, but you can start with China White Paper, or "United States Relations with China, with Special Reference to the Period 1944-1949". That's like the entriest of entry levels to the subject of "KMT fricked up and lost".
If that's too much reading for you, the subject might be genuinely too complex for you to bother going into any details. And I'm not being snide here, this is a genuine point and part of the reason why people are so eager to parrot factoids, rather than read actual accounts, papers and analysis
Would you celebrate the US if it lost the civil war and was forced to flee to Hawaii or Cuba? Of course not. Losing the entirety of China to a force as disorganized as the communists lead by a peasant like Mao is an embarrassment.
>Would you declare the France a failed state, because it got conquered by Germany in 6 weeks, with minimal resistance?
This is roughly your line of thinking. One that ignores cause, results and outcomes, focusing entirely on "who won".
Nobody did. Everyone lost. And the biggest loser is rest of the world, since we have pretty much worst China as the result of myriad of factors leading to it.
The war did not end with the fall of France. French troops, ships, aircrews etc. continued to fight in exile and retook the country just 4 years later. They are not remotely the same. France was relatively untouched by the war and most of the same systems remained in place afterwards.
>disorganized as the communists lead by a peasant like Mao
Mao was an incredible general. I'm not a communist, but he literally wrote the book that redefined guerilla warfare. The Maoists were extremely well organized and extremely well lead.

Neither Mao was a peasant (shocking, right?) nor his force was disorganised.
Also, last time I've checked, Mao got most of North China for free from the Soviets (who in turn took it from Nips), because Stalin miscalculated the whole Chinese gambit, while spending previous 7 years inciting population of Japanese-occupied territory to his cause..
I mean those are some of the most basic fricking facts, and you still don't know them, which paints you as an ignorant moron.
Anon who suggested reading White Paper was correct, because it explains in detail the clusterfrick that lead to the 1947 communist counter-offensives and then the infamous domino effect. Pro-tip: it wasn't NRA fricking up, they did perfectly fine for first two years and pushing communists hard. And it wasn't even a lost cause until 1948's Liaoshen Campaign, which fricked NRA sideways, but if they succeed with that one, it would frick PLA sideways instead. It was "all or nothing" for both sides.
the frick are you talking about
designer should have stuck to the cauldrons of war games
I've played it, razing China and sending conscripts to their deaths is fun.
What is this? A Long March simulator?
1920s chinese civil war simulator
Can I ask why about one-fourth of the 1920s minor warlords are the governor of Gansu who is already a footnote and every random butthole who went against him?
