A lot of bragging, but where are the players?
?
playing their games, Slitherine replaced pdx as a grand strategy game publisher while paradox transitioned(lol) into sim / visual novel publisher
He's right, though. HoI4 was the beginning of the end. It says something when the most popular HOI4 mod was a straight up visual novel.
You mean The New Order? Yeah it has too much visual novel shit events but it also has fun new mechanics and a fancy HUD.
>HoIIMtemmie is a visual novel!
Not what I fricking asked, homosexual. Where is Slitherine replacing Paradox? In your head? In our hearts and minds? Paradox has fallen, millions must be given to Slitherine?
>the most popular HOI4 mod was a straight up visual novel
The most popular mod is Road to 56, not TNO and even if you were to only count alt-history mods, it's Kaiserreich, they have their own problems but I don't think you can call them visual novels.
KR is definitely a vr for most of its game time.
>I don't think you can call Kaiserreich a visual novel
>you think your game is good? Well lets see it do Call of Duty or FIFA numbers!
Lol, lmao. Hard cope, no? How about we talk about the quality of the games?
each distant worlds game is a buggy mess
as laggy and cookieclicker as stellaris is, stellaris still works
did the latest update fix DW:2?
I want to buy it but the reviews are so dogshit. I don't want to spend hours wrangling with the AI
I wouldn't say that Paradox and Slytherine fill the same niche. Paradox makes glorified RPG/visual novels branded as strategy games, appealing to masses. Slytherine publishes deep strategy games that appeal to a very small population of players who actually love strategy.
Then why has Slitherine never published a single decent game?
Never cared for it. I'm a total Gryffindor.
I like them, because they made Spartan, my favorite game when I was a kid 🙂
>British based publisher
>Have a studio in Italy
OK what game of theirs do I play if I want to paint maps and colonize primitives?
I second this question. A game with a pop system would be neat.
>map painting/pops
Field of Glory Empires, the pop system is basic but it does for instance simulate your expansion bringing in tons of slaves from conquered territories into your urban centers, and needing to deal with the consequent unrest. Also one of the few grand strats that actually tries to rein in map painting somewhat, through the decadence system
Empires is good but people can't cope with not being an all powerful God. Having to encourage development in your provinces instead of just picking whichever thing you want to make at whatever time. Abstraction scares the frick out of the map painters.
in FOG Kingdoms they're actually adding a way to (mostly) sidestep the card system at a cost if you NEED to have a certain building and can't wait for it, instead of the reshuffle system FOG Empires had
That sounds fricking awful. I am very disappointed. The only thing that needed to change was the translation of battles to FOG:II (both the exchange of Kingdom armies to Medi armies but potentially the troop generation mechanic for Kingdom).
This unironically makes me not want to buy it. I'll reserve judgement of course but it sounds like they're compromising instead of improving.
I like the Panzer Corps games and W40K Gladius and that's about it. I would say Distant Worlds but I think the original game was made by a different publisher.
Boy howdy, I sure do love paying $70 for 90s games!
I really liked Battlesector, even with the bullshit Exocrines.
They really need to cut their prices in half, honestly. They have been better about it in recent years, but I remember when I was younger and poorer, I never could justify spending $70-90 on their games, when even most AAA games of the time were only $60. Even now, a lot of their games are on the level of like $30 indie titles, but selling for $50+.
which games specifically is this post talking about
Shadow Empire
Rule the Waves 3
Distant Worlds 2
You’re acting like Slith isn’t also shit.
I do enjoy Slitherines foray into real time strategy. Terran Command is enjoyable and Broken Arrow will probably be my favorite Wargame eqsue game for years.
>charges full price 5 years after release
Well, at least they're not Battlegoat.
