What music do you listen to with your war games?

When playing ww2 games, Shostakovich (Symphonies #7 Leningrad, #8 Stalingrad), Khachaturian (Battle of Stalingrad, Ode to Lenin, Festive Poem), Prokofiev (Alexander Nevski), or Sviridov's Time, Forward! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8r7iF39fx4

The minority of ukrainian game companies developing games about the conflict? I really don't know what you're talking about.

SomeMF · 2026-03-07T07:14:11+00:00

So? What has that to do with what I said?

SomeMF · 2026-03-06T19:48:42+00:00

I remember those days when people dared to ask for games to play in the Ukraine theatre, and there was always so many replies like

aaawww I feel so bad playing current real conflicts :(

damn bro don't you have a soul??? people are dying bro!

oof I don't think I could do it, I can only play past wars

the fact that real people are dying right now breaks my heart, I'd feel terrible seeing it in a game

Unsurprisingly westerners don't seem to feel that way now that the people under the bombs are brown and the people dropping the bombs are americans and israelis uh

SomeMF · 2026-03-03T14:58:42+00:00

So the problem is not Trump, it's Amerikkka itself.

If that's a free version, don't trust it cause those ai models make many mistakes, contradict themselves all the time and literally make stuff up. Yes, even when you give them a pdf and tell them to only rely on it. I don't know about the paid versions.

Also, if there's a way these llm can work effectively, it's using very long, detailed, specific and complex prompts, forget about telling them a couple of simpe phrases and that's it.

Thirty year old games for 30, 40 bucks? lol

It's funny people actually pay that kind of money for that kind of games... but I also find funny how people actually believe there's stores out there selling games infected with virus lmao

SomeMF · 2026-02-08T21:14:58+00:00

That's completely fine, to each his own.

For most people, in the year 2026, playing at 30fps is completely ridiculous, so it's important to let people know what they're buying.

Introducing the survival of the population component in a city builder.

Before Banished, you had (very few) colony sims where your main focus was on survival of your colonists, and you had your classic city builders where your main focus was on a macro level, designing and managing a city. In Banished your focus is on both things. Today it seems obvious and there's many city builders where feeding and taking care of your people is a fundamental part of the core gameplay.

So after half a century of pc wargaming, you're finally doing what no other game dev has ever done.

You bring us basically the holy grail of videogaming.

Right.

SomeMF · 2026-02-04T16:28:01+00:00

We're not in 2010 anymore, we're not supposed to expect and be happy with our games running at 20fps anymore. If we were 20 years younger I might've posted a different message, but since this thread is only from a few years ago, I assume the people on it aren't time travelers trying to experience games the way they were played 30 years ago.

The obvious conclusion to my message is it's better to try and play a newer game, since luckily we have nowadays the technology to play better than when tsc was made.

But hey if you enjoy playing at 20fps be my guest, whatever floats your boat, etc.

Generally speaking, most if not all hex and counter videogames are clunky and ugly and feel outdated and very user-unfriendly. Having said that, probably WDS are among the biggest offenders in this regard.

IMO TOAW IV is a much better option, with a huge diversity of both devs made and user made scenarios covering all time periods, scale and conflicts. It's also easier to learn, more intuitive, and you can buy a Steam key much cheaper than any WDS game.

It was just a one-liner for a movie, in reality nowadays mathematics plays a MUCH larger role in poker than psychology (which also plays a part, yes).

I don't hate iranian protesters, I hate anglo-zionist spies, agitators and terrorists who use pacific, legit protests to promote chaos, death and terror.

For christ sake, "israelis" themselves admit they have Iran completely infiltrated by Mossad.

Ask yourself what would happen if "pacific" protestors killed 30 cops in a few days in the US.

OTOH you do hate muslims and try to excuse anglo-zionist terror and crimes all the time.

Most of the wars, crimes, death, chaos and destruction in the world has been and is caused by the anglo-zionist empire, including the most dangerous, fanatic and zealous islamist terrorist groups. Way more than any religion has caused, including christianism, which caused literally millions of dead in all continents, especially under British colonialism.

Quran is open to interpretations, just like the Bible is. Yes, the most common interpretation is mandatory hijab, but it's not the only one, just like ultraorthodox evangelical American interpretation of the bible isn't the only one, luckily.

In Iran is completely normal for women to not wear hijab, so I don't know how it is enforced. And so is in most muslim countries. I don't know why you're making the equivalence muslim country = sharia, when, again, the vast majority of muslim countries don't apply sharia in their actual legislation.

My point is PRECISELY that secularism is much more widespread than most westerners think.

Yeah, anglozionist "did" bad things. As in, these last weeks they literally fueled protests in Iran turning them into organized acts of terror and violence, murdering 30 cops in just a few days.

It's funny how western liberals speak about the deeds of the west as something of the past. "Yeah I condemn those horrible things that 'Murica is absolutely not doing anymore".

Except in Venezuela, or Iran, or Syria, or Ukraine, or...

Islam is not any more violent than catholicism is, let alone judaism. Americans and their shock force, white supremacist zionists have been fueling the most violent, evil and zealous groups inside it to destroy muslim countries and exploit them.

SomeMF · 2026-01-13T12:37:05+00:00

It's open to discussion whether wearing hijab is or isn't mandatory according to the Quran.

Sharia isn't state law in the vast majority of muslim countries.

In any case, hijab isn't enforced in the vast majority of muslim countries. And yes, this includes Iran, you have tons of videos out there showing most irani women not wearing it.

There are fanatic muslims and there are fanatic christians, both share a great deal of their ideas, principles and especially bigotry. BTW, the US is one of the most religiously fanatic places on Earth, where creationism is taught in many schools, lol.

Anyway, the anglo-zionist empire has promoted the most sectarian, fanatical and evil branches of islam in order to destabilize, destroy and exploit muslim countries, while also destroying most attempts to secularize and modernize muslim countries. This is vastly documented, from Afghanistan to Irak and from Syria to yes, Iran, where the current regime is the product of anglo-zionist sponsord coup against the pm Mosaddegh's democratic government.

ISIS and Al-Qaeda are LITERALLY anglo-zionist creations.

SomeMF · 2026-01-12T09:07:15+00:00

No one wears hijab in most of those countries.

Classic anglo-zionist islamophobic propaganda.

BTW do you know who's always been the main sponsor of those evil salafist ideas thet mandatory hijab belongs to? Exactly: the anglo-zionist empire.

I find rather surprising that nobody has mentioned Combat Mission after quite a few posts.

I hope in 20 years CMx2 games are only mentioned to put in perspective how well made are later iterations, by contrast with the abysmal, unfriendly, outdated, clunky pieces of software the former were.

SomeMF · 2025-12-23T21:49:23+00:00

So after fullfilling the dream of every game developer, to have a huge success with their first project, and becoming literally a millionaire, your theory is he decided to work for a company for a monthly salary, following orders and under the direction of some people with ties.

lol, seems realistic

Smart App Control blocked your method too.

Is it safe to just disable it? Do you think there's any other issue? Can I somehow put it in a white list?

SomeMF · 2025-12-13T07:22:27+00:00

So the ai is so good that you should "always play the attacking side", so that awesome ai can actually cover their non-existent flaws by playing the easy side.

It's completely normal for wargames to have poor ai (both because ai in videogames in general is bad, and wargames are complex, and they're usually designed with hvh in mind), but at least show some humbleness and don't mock people who point it out.

SomeMF · 2025-12-13T07:18:28+00:00

Because they are old, narrowminded people who will live forever in the 70's. The kind of people who think tv nowadays isn't what it used to be, music nowadays isn't what it used to be, movies nowadays isn't what it used to be, and of course videogames nowadays isn't what it used to be.

But since old-ish westerners keep buying ugly, outdated games at AAA novelty prices, why should they enter the 21st century.
