What's the best strategy game for SP? No xcom or other RNG bullshit, that doesn't count.
Silent Storm Sentinels
Stronghold
I picked up Infested Planet a few weeks ago and it does almost everything right as a singleplayer RTS. There's a story campaign plus randomly generated optional missions to set the mood, skirmish maps, weekly challenges, and a DLC campaign map mode with various extra mechanics. Many difficulty levels let you play however intense you like. There are lots of different weapons and equipment and you'll need to make the most of them to smash through various compositions of enemies, especially in that campaign map mode. Very pleased with this one.
>No RNG
Into the Breach is like 98% deterministic, the only thing random is what enemy types spawn in each level and when.
Then again, I'd say a strategy game without RNG isn't a strategy game at all, it's a puzzle game.
>chess is a puzzle game
>chess is a game for SP
No one said that, you blithering moron.
Still off-topic tho. But you know what? I'm not even mad. It's impressive how you derailed this shit thread with the old muh chess bait.
It was in topic as I was disagreeing with the notion that a strat game needs RNG to be a strat game.
You encountered the word "chess", misread it as "chest" and your latent homosex came out in the form of catty baseless accusations.
chess isn't a strategy game, it is a turn based tactics game
in a tactics game, you start out with all the units/pieces/meeps etc. you are going to have for the entire game. in a strategy game you produce units and have tactical battles with them
It really is, the game has been scrutinized so much over the centuries. In case you didn't know, virtually all professial chess matches is basically the players using someone else's openings and move orders that they have memorized. There is very little room for spontaneity or independent actions. As the game progresses it becomes more free-form. But still for the opening and the portion of the game that actually counts, it's super rigid and boring. It might as well be a puzzle game unless you are playing with the local idot in YMCA.
Well there's only so many openings. Of course you're gonna use an opening some else used in a popular game that is 1400 years old.
It's not just openings. In chess, there are wrong moves to make, and the right move to make and everyone knows the right one until half of the pieces on the board are gone. It's like professional bowling, where everyone gets a perfect strike almost every single throw. The opportunity to win comes not from being measurably better than your opponent but instead because you managed to not frick up first.
>managed to not frick up first.
If you can proceed further than your peers before making an error, that is by definition being "measurably better".
Yes
Imagine playing a game where "cheating" is having a solutions book.
Imagine that.
yeah. you always have all the information, so it's up to you to puzzle out the optimal move every turn.
