field of glory EMPIRES

[Galdred]

but they didn't announce anything for their Wargamer day That is a big disappointment...

 

[Burning Bridges]

pocus (games dev) has confirmed that there is an empire 2 game in development for some time but he cant say anything about it yet.

There goes my little hope that they start making great games again.

 

[razvedchiki]

hint from the developer (yes one guy makes this!) about the next game with the cryptic tfe71
http://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=534&t=107319&start=20.

tfe71= the fall of empires 700-1000 maybe?

There could be a FoG Empires Medieval coming or am I just fabulously optimistic here :

Would be awesome, if true.

It would be fantastic if they went full feudal on medieval.

I do hope they don't pretty much abandon it like they did with FoGE. FoGE is a great game and could have so much work done on it yet.

Gimme Crusader Kings/Knights of Honor with turns, give it to me NOW.

How would you feel about fantasy CK2 adjacent game? Aka with actual content. Unlike CK3.

ck2 have warhammer fantasy mod,it was pretty good back in the day. But fantasy shit is the best direction paradox could go at the moment. They are too cucked to make a good modern day game,the nu viki game will sjw shit. New ck is copy paste with uglier graphics,new eu will most likely be the same.

All CK2 fantasy mods are limited by the engine. No random maps, no real magic system, etc. Very sad.

It is what it is,there is nothing better. EU4 does have a nice fantasy mod if you are looking for something new,would recommend playing as the kobolts,it is pretty fun lol.

Just what my doctor ordered, that's what it would feel like. I'm surprised we don't have fantasy GSGs.
Considering Paradox owns Triumph now, I'm surprised they never used the Age of Wonders license for it. It would be perfect, the timeline in the AOW manual looks like something out of a Pdox game, with wars and counter-offensives. Could even make all sorts of start dates.

2 have warhammer fantasy mod,it was pretty good back in the day. But fantasy shit is the best direction paradox could go at the moment. They are too cucked to make a good modern day game,the nu viki game will sjw shit. New ck is copy paste with uglier graphics,new eu will most likely be the same.

There's also the Warcraft mod for CKII, its pretty neat. They're now making a CKIII version.

I mean Sovereignty Crown Of Kings kinda went there. Probably needed better sales to get into a DLC groove to really flesh things out.

For strategy fantasy wargames I recommend this little one:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/567080/Wizards_and_Warlords/

Fairly amusing.

Sovereignty had a lot going for it. Shame it went nowhere.

Not a grand strategy game like FoGE though.

What were the best features? I liked it but to me it was like 20% of a game that needed a lot of updates.

What's the current status of this game? Is it worth it?

It's a great game on it's own right, but it seems the developer abandoned it.

 

[man-erg]

It's an interesting game. Some original ideas. Actually resembles real ancient history, unlike that Old World Civ 5 Fantasy mod that came out the other month. FOGE is light years ahead of that. What put me off is the turn times get longer and longer until you spend more time watching the "Processing Please Wait" message than taking your turn. It's an AGEOD descendent, they improved everything else but succesfully ported their traditional poor performance in to it.

 

[Galdred]

I really liked the game a lot. I even loved the clunky integration with FOG2. However, micromanagement becomes heavier as you advance in the game. I had great fun playing small nations, like Athens and Sparta, but playing something like Rome felt tedious late game.
For what it's worth, I'm eagerly awaiting the sequel, and it was the Slitherine game I preferred (combined with FoG2) of the last years.

 

[razvedchiki]

fogE to fog2 intergration battle loads faster than any battle on modern total war games, on my old laptop it takes like 6-8 secs max.

 

[Humanophage]

I wonder who thought it was a good idea to allow the AI to sell provinces. I just bought the part of Egypt with the pyramids and the sphinx for a couple of turns worth of income and some useless manpower.

P.S. Perhaps for the better. Imagine Paradox-style whack-a-mole with armies, except it's turn-based... and with a loading screen every turn.

 

[Humanophage]

Just your friendly Greek merchant buying Rome and everything surrounding it from Rome.

 

[HeroMarine]

It will never be balanced

You should post this to the steam forum. The Dev still checks in from time to time and may fix.

 

[Humanophage]

This game is great, but really needed more love.

I hope Kingdoms has a newer engine with better performance. That could allow them to work on it further.

The two big flaws are:
1. The loading screens. Good grief. If they had to do it, at least allow people to browse the last turn's spreadsheets in the meanwhile. Immershun is important for these games and tabbing out is unpleasant.
2. Much easier to implement, but the game needed normal documentation. Even the manual doesn't quite explain things. Many things seem almost undocumented, and the absence of some Civ-pedia with search is just sad.

On the other hand, it is still addicting and has some depth, but rather low QOL.
