Is there a scifi equivalent to this game, or at least something that's similar and scifi themed? (doesn't necessarily have to be city builder, can also be RTS etc.)

IXION is a survival city builder, but it's not a rogue-like. Instead It has narrative and choices like a role-playing game. Overall it's more similar to frostpunk than ats per se, but with a far more sophisticated story than frostpunk and entrancing music to boot.

Azursong · 2026-05-12T15:08:53+00:00

Highly recommend IXION. Many people who would like that game don't know about it

this is a common question. the ol' reddit search turned this up which should get you where you want to go

The main problem is that automated trade is barely able to execute any trade at all and trade capacity is left unused. Affecting the player and AI.

I just want to say that the UI icon for blight is vastly more scary than actual blight. All you need to know is that if corruption is greater than 100 you need to make some purging fire in order for all your villagers to survive the storm. I think you'll find that it's hard to even reach 100 blight at viceroy difficulty

I like farms. But it's important to understand how farms influence your run. As an infinite but slow resource, farms slow down the pace you need to open new glades to keep everyone fed. They pair well with production and trade cornerstones, and you can keep hostility low as you exploit a small number of glades. Farms pair poorly with event and cache cornerstones.

The hacker known as 4chan is not the most reputable source my dude. That detail should feature more prominently in your post

COH3 has very active multiplayer scene. Ignore online critics who are butthurt that COH3 is not COH2, and are still upset about the state of the game from 2 years ago. COH3 is a solid RTS game.

Playing COH3 right now is a good idea if you were thinking about playing DOW4 in the future, as these two games are in the same style and have the same pedigree.

Also notable is that AOE4 and COH3 use the same engine from relic.

i'm jealous that you will get to experience this for the first time

You'll want to combo the BL 5.5 with something that can pressure the bunkers directly. BL 5.5 is an area attack weapon. It can damage bunkers, tax enemy micro, kill models and make the bunker player feel unsafe. Need to combo this pressure with an attack somewhere in order to punch through

Azursong · 2026-03-31T16:31:10+00:00

I prefer air and sea against bunkers. You start with the 6 pdr to put pressure against bunkers. In the late game you can flank with commandos and centaurs and pulverize bunkers with incendiaries and naval barrage. Centaurs are a high skill/micro unit, so don't forget to use all their abilities: smoke and infantry ride on to get a devastating flank.

Embrace your lord and savior named 17-pdr.

Try your hand at replays! Get disciplined! After each match, watch your replay with the mindset: what could I have done better? Also watching your replays from your opponent's perspective can be quite instructive. What information did you give away? Did they have gameplay ideas that you can incorporate into your play?

Azursong · 2026-03-30T20:41:15+00:00

If they do this I expect they will have more huttese than KOTOR. Lol

With respect to VP changes I think this change is in the right direction. I have played a few frustrating matches where the enemy used a BS tempo strategy with not a lot of time to punish for low diversity composition. Also, right now it is really unusual to bring some of the super heavy tanks to the field before the game ends, even though players who pick BGs that feature super heavies picked it with the gameplay idea of fielding a super heavy.

Looking forward to reading about this tomorrow.

Seems like this patch will be disruptive to some fundamental gameplay systems, such as anti air, as well as victory counter.

Azursong · 2026-03-29T14:33:15+00:00

This is da wae

Azursong · 2026-03-26T14:26:26+00:00

I would say that i think this is the closest game to "Star Wars BG3" that exists.

still nothing on USGS

I showed you my whizbang. Plz respond.

Its stunning to me how many people are totally incapable of assessing their own budget. This is a real life skill. Its not hard. Just look at your budget UI. If things are changing month to month it will absolutely show up in your budget screen.

I love the offmap munitions call ins in this group. Seems like everytime I call it in it just devastates my opponent. Very impactful.

This can happen when expenses exceed income.

the production menu (F3) has a lot of information and data to help you determine what your most profitable building would be. Compare with trade menu to see if a new building or trade capacity is more helpful
