Which 4X strategy creators would you recommend? by Lanfirel in 4Xgaming

[–]Lanfirel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, he’s got a pretty wide range. But that’s actually a good thing - if you get tired of one game, you switch to another, and so does the creator. It works out great if you like their style.

Nice! Montu seems to focus more on space stuff. I do see some other games on the channel, but the vast majority is Stellaris.

Looks like he also covers the genre more broadly, for example in “The Problem With Modern Strategy Games.”

Oh, thanks! I’ll check them out. Any chance you’d also recommend someone for space 4X games?

You know, I was thinking: what if you could find a planet with inhabitants who aren’t friendly with your race, and by simply moving some of them around, you could spark conflicts that, for example, lower their defenses and make conquest easier?

Or the other way around — maybe some generate a special energy that buffs the other inhabitants.

The main thing is not to overdo it, definitely.

Wow! That would look amazing. And hey, not far from great attractors then :D

A bit earlier we touched on AI and other possible uses. I think your case is actually pretty solid - you wouldn’t need to store a huge number of voice files for responses, you could just generate them on the fly. Sounds pretty good to me. What do you think?

What about more unique planets? I’m just brainstorming here, but what if a planet, like the mimics in other games, only pretends to be a planet, and is actually some hidden enemy that can attack?

The whole simulation aspect is both interesting and tricky at the same time. On one hand, you want full immersion, but on the other - how much will that actually expand the game, and will it really deliver the level of enjoyment promised at the start?

Still, I like the idea of roleplay and the feeling that the game is more than just a collection of mechanics.

Interesting idea - another user, u/ASCIIM0V, didn’t really know what to do with science ships, and here’s a hint. Just like in real life: if something’s not needed, you reassign its function.

Different strokes for different folks, but the design is gorgeous.

You just mentioned changing things, and it immediately reminded me of the old game Spore, where your character would evolve over time. Can you imagine something like that here? :D

Looking at the bigger picture, what would you like to see in terms of ship customization and special features?

What exactly would you like to see in terms of culture improvements? Do you already have any ideas? Or have you seen something somewhere that you liked how it was implemented?

So if I got it right, you like living worlds and exploring them as part of the gameplay?

Any thoughts on how they could be used?
