I did find the suit bomb and 5 bombs in a lockbox in the starting system. I'll have to load it up again and see it that's a static change or was just random and I got lucky. Either way though there's also no reason you can't stop with the missions after you scan the station while you collect the things passively.

>>1759987
I don't think that is static, no. The point remains its tedium for the sake of tedium however.
The entire x series always has been "what space probably will really be like to control" to me so it makes some sense kek
The obtuse menus and controls in a lot of cases just feel "realistic" in a weird way but it sure doesn't make for good questlines.

>>1759995
Oh there are definitely bad questlines. My argument is just that the hatikva questline is really fast and straightforward by comparison. The only hump is the spacesuit bomb portion and after that it's all the home stretch.
Far more annoying is the boron questline or the segaris questline.

>>1759999
It probably didn't help it was one of the first things I tried to do because it sounded "easier". Trade? I can do that

Eerily similar to how fightin game faggots sound, they killed their genre with sweatiness and constantly cry how no one wants to play.
Esport fags really are cancer. Treating a game like a competitive sport is aids for a game genre scene.

>>1759520
you trying to claim Starcraft is not "micro" intensive is just retarded. Thats the "no"
You trying to claim rts requires base building is also retarded.
You calling RTS with no basebuilding or resource gathering RTT is peak retarded.

am I getting bad RNG or do base-stat spells do fuck all against anything? I just cast Fire Bolt on some spearmen and they didn't even notice.

>>1755458
a fully charged firebolt can kill a unit of spearmen if you are extremely lucky, if they are veteran or above its basically not gonna happen tho

>>1755458
fire bolt is basic spell, spells have the same rule as normal damage aka 30% hit chance (unless its something like chaos bolt) and get reduced by armor, when hitting multi figure unit its better to use something like fire ball cause it hits all units at once

Chaos Rift is great, since it makes a strongly defended city ripe for conquest. Just dont forget to switch it off, after you sack it.
Full chaos run with halflings is one of my favorite strategies, but very high in micromanagment. Casting chaos channel on every slinger, then sorting out the ones with demon wings. Flying elite slingers are no joke, and it gets really mean with chaos surge and warped reality.

Chainswords are an insanely retarded idea for a melee weapon.
Imperial Guard has cavalry units.
Sororitas have an artillery tank that fires missiles from a pipe organ.

chainswords make sense to chew through armour
cavalry units could be fine depending on the planet
what's wrong with organ missiles? its just decorations
chapters are doctrine reason, and crewing cause they are better than humans at it. if you want to maximise effectiveness you use astartes.

It is just that spearmen don't really inflict any damage upon their attackers. I noticed that my Legio were doing work and that these Armigeri Defensores look to be a better Legio.
I will make sure to keep some spearmen for the flanks.

>>1759756
That's a difference in playstyle then my main damage source are cav, or flanking ranged in the worst case. Infantry only serve as anvil for me, something the spears fo better than melee infantry.

>>1759773
That does sound like a good strategy but at the moment my cavalry really sucks. Scout Equities can't 1v1 any cavalry unit and I often rely on luring enemy cavalry into my spearmen and archers.

>>1759891
You shouldn't be using your cav to 1v1 enemy cav.
Tactically speaking, Attila combat is almost ALWAYS decided by whoever can surround the enemy first. 1 Scout Equites is passable, but 2 scout equites can kill just about anything if they can surround it, outside of the highest-tier cav. Always 2v1 if you can help it.
Anyway with regards to infantry, WRE sword units generally come in 2 categories: really tanky anvils like Legio and more killy hammers like Armigeri. You can usually tell which is which based on whether they have the stationary or mobile testudo, respectively.
Armigeri and other units from their line are good if you want something a bit faster to wrap around and start rolling up the flank of an enemy infantry line, but they'll usually take a bit more of a beating than, say, a legio on account of their lower armor and less sturdy testudo.

>>1759948
I have noticed that one you begin to flank and rear charge enemies then their morale just completely shatters and it usually develops into an outright end of the battle.

Let's sell water, that'll show the evil empire we're rebelling from.

I have fond memories of just setting up giant 4v4 skirmishes with AI as a kid, matches would go on so long that they started building turrets next to each other and then they would fire back and forth, real total annihilation vibes. Too bad pathfinding was shit, any large group of units would have a long ass command delay and then units would start making a conga line that spanned a good part of the map.

I also remember being very let down by the sequel, early 3d graphics, uninspired designs, and ironically even in the new engine the conga line thing remained. The only salvageable part was the soundtrack.

I only remember that it was a decent C&C clone I got for 8 bux at a computer fair. Review for its sequel were dismal due to devs not knowing how to pathfind in 3d

DR2 had gorgeous graphics.

>>1759872
yes it was considered a 10/10 revolutionary rts

They're going to do what the Empire Earth expansion did: each planetary body is an island and the space between them is... well, space instead of water. Then add "space" to every naval terminology ("space transport", "space warship", "space docks") and there you go.

There was an obscure game called Ancient Conquest that had a bunch of unusual QoL features for its time like a zoomed-out strategic map or ability autocast. It also had some autonomous commands that you still hardly see anywhere, like automatic harvesting in a specified zone, attacking a zone, defending a zone, or a scout command (move to a point and return if attacked).
That said, UI is not a big deal in most singleplayer RTSes as long as they let you box-select and attack-move.

Seconding this. Blitzkrieg is a ton of fun, really love it and all of the clones and spin offs. Very much a dated game, but I feel like nothing else has that right mix of jank and simplicity. Stupid difficult at times, but also can be a cakewalk after you memorize all the arty locations and counterbattery. It's worth a play on its own merits and uniqueness.

But it doesn't have much of an AI, which is kind of a plus for a singleplayer, lets you pace yourself, but you can't really skirmish and don't expect complex maneuvers.

I'm a giant RTS fan, and the only reason I don't play it is because it's overly time consuming.

If the remastered version of C&C didn't lack unit promotion feature I'd play it thoroughly. There's nothing more satisfying than gaining the upper hand, dominating, seeing your units get fully promoted, and then deciding you've seen enough victory; it's time to finish this.

The fall of RTS began when Westwood Studios got bought out. I believe there was a conspiracy to memory hole the game due to its red pill story line, but I also believe it simply lost manifestation due to total lack of convenience because of the fact you need a mouse, keyboard, and a fuck ton of wrist room to play it.

Most people aren't witty enough to figure out the game. One of the funniest things to witness is a balls to the wall RTS player in a heated match. Another conspiracy may be the game increases synaptic activity to the point that it is too good for its own good of society.

My actual love is RA2 due to user capabilities. Tanks automictically engage enemy in while motion, and unit have I say again the promotion system enhancement. If you youtube command and conquer you'll find a pretty decent documentary on the game series. They document the watering down of the game quite well once it was bought out. I still play the campaign about once a year.

In what sense? Match length? Depends on the game.

Online, it takes over 30 minutes to finish a competitive match. I think my longest match was around 6 hours. That game is a life eraser. My teens were black days anyhow

RA2 is quite a game to play and the AI will make you feel like an idiot when you first get started.
