What are some games where you have to manage supplies to your bases and armies? And preferably you should be able to starve the enemy by cutting off said supplies. Pic related, can't think of another RTS like that.
What are some games where you have to manage supplies to your bases and armies?
For the first point Hearts of Iron and Shadow Empire technically fit the bill, they do so poorly however. For the second you can only do it on small scale to pockets of the enemy in hearts of iron. in shadow empire the ai doesn't follow the same rules. I wouldn't play either expecting a deep, interesting or strategic logistics system, you'll be disappointed.
>Shadow Empire
this game is really poorly made with basic design being flawed as frick
>moron got so filtered hes seething in every thread
you love to see it
filtered by what?
stupid ai and shitty designs?
the game isn't hard, most difficulty come fro starting(rng based) position, ui is usable(barely), its just most game subsystems is made backwards and kept together by duck tape and prayers and most systems barely(if at all) work with each other, and what is worst its boring
i think the whole game is a big fricking shitpost because i refuse somebody is that moronic to project it that badly and still make it work
Hegemony Gold and Hegemony 3(didn't played this one tho)
food supplies are really important in Heg Gold tho
occupied cities with no food revolt, units starve and you can use it against AI as well
once I couldn't conquer some island as it had really small landing beach and my troops get blocked by hoplites and bombarded by city and light units when I tried to land and siege it
then I blocked it and then when they were starved just beat them up
your army failing when you lack food is also a thing
Hegemony Gold is the really important one, you can lose campaigns badly if you don't prepare your supply lines in advance and can do the same to the enemy. Make sure to plan things out and you get to see the reward. Having played Hegemony 3 its a lot dumber, because of the sandboxy nature of it and the AI there's rarely any actual sieges anymore. It seems like they kinda intended for players to make their own, more interesting maps. There was gonna be some DLC released for it, but the devs went dark on everything a few years ago.
tbh in Hegemony Gold Ai can't really attack with massive armies, most of the times its just end raids
Yeah the AI in both kinda sucks.
if you're talking about stuff like baggage trains, etc., i don't know
if you're talking about units requiring constant upkeep in the form of food/money/gold/resources, you can try
>cossacks european wars - units and buildings require constant upkeep in terms of food, iron, wood, units consume resources with each shot, etc. so you have to make sure your resource production back at home is constantly running or units start losing health/dying, gunpowder units can't fire, buildings start losing hp, etc. and you have speedy units that you can use to raid fields, mines and so on.
>seven kingdoms II. (i've only played 2, people say 1 is better but idk if the same things apply). you constantly need to have food and money and training soldiers requires recruiting civilians, those same civilians also produce food and work in your factories, so it's possible to target your oponent's towns and massacre his civilians thus crippling him. trade is also facilitated by caravans so you can in theory target those caravans
Rise of Nations
>play Russia
>move borders by rapid expansion to the point that enemy cities are enclaves
>they try to move army to capture cities
>destroy their supply cart
>floor is now lava
>moron homosexual thinks that +1 to attrition is some sort of magic spell
Ask me how I know you never played RoN. All Russian bonus does is preventing early rush, since your units will die before reaching enemy.
You're not wrong, but it is fun to play a conquer the world where you own basically everything by the end and with the right mix of wonders and quick expansion you can island the enemies cities and have fun slowly picking them apart. Doesn't need to be Russian but it helps.
Also in Homeworld the smaller ships can run out of fuel and become stranded which can be played tactically.
Wargame, Men of War. ~CoH
Earth 21x0 series. Your units need resupply on regular basis. Overstretch and you will end up with force that has no bullets to continue fighting.
2150 aerial resupply is some absolutely fricked pathfinding. Im not sure if I would recommend it for that mechanic specifically as it is kind of fundamentally broken at a certain scale and tech level and I think theres a weapon that leeches supply too? maybe ww3 black gold is less annoying in that regard. microing large armies and resupply in e2150 becomes a logarithmic time trap but with less units you start to realize how deep the game is. a shame really it does alot of things so well for a game locked to a grid
Warrior Kings has a simplified supply mechanic with ranged units mostly, however localized resources are a thing as well. Every town has a localized resource total stored in a warehouse and has to create trade routes with other towns. I enjoy celtic kings and warrior kings for similar reasons but completely different approaches.
I see Hegemony technically Homeworld Classic uses a fuel system for lighter vehicles to keep carriers and support relevant near front lines.
I know theres quite a few vehicular RTS as well with supply systems but i havent played many. I ended up on a rabbit hole again maybe Fate of the Dragon
>2150 aerial resupply is some absolutely fricked pathfinding
Which is why you should follow the US doctrine and build ten times more than actually needed.
Russian bonus is literally a gimmick, thou. It's barely C tier
So what game is this in the op?
Celtic Kings: Rage of War
>"celtic"
how does one make a game about a group that never existed
what the frick do you mean moron? most games are about groups that never existed
there never was a group called "Celts", moron.
there was also never a group called "zerg", autismo, how does that prevent one from making a game about them you drooling mongoloid
Is this another israeli trick to erase the white man's history?
He probably means that Celts never saw themselves as one group, i.e. the Gaels never identified with the Gauls or something, it's a modern constructed identity to combine these sub-cultures. It's like saying Indians didn't exist because the Catawban had nothing to do with the Chumashan.
>Play the Dacia story after finishing the main campaign
>No voice acting at all
>Thought I had broken the game or something, while looking at the files, for 15 years
>Discover today that only Italy had full voice acting for all campaigns
WTF
Nemesis of the Roman empire, also goes under the names Imperivm and Celtic Kings. Nemesis is the best of the bunch imo. Theres really nothing like it to compare it to, just try it yourself if you're into retro RTS
>Chadrax telling the literal war goddess that gave him magic powers to go frick herself when ordered to just do nothing and let Caesar anhiliate the gauls because muh divine predestination
Man I used to love this game, i played it too much, it's not perfect but it's a good alternative to the big RTS games we already know
I wish somebody would mod the shit out of this, I would love to see more civs, units, buildings, the same game but with more content
