I'm sorry, which update reverted state owned constructions?
I haven't been playing for a little bit so as far as I'm aware, I the magical non-entity state, will own them.

>>2261790
I'm none of the previous anons but if you want clout you're better off improving the strength of other IGs relative to the landowners. Nationalizing farms is fine but you marginalize landowners way faster by changing franchise laws, strengthening capitalists as the wealthy class, or strengthening the pull of devout or armed forces so the aristocrats stop supporting the landowners

>>2261870
But that's what I meant as a contributor.
Franchise = poor clout, which I don't want in this situation.
Strengthening the capitalists <- I guess but don't I need the monopoly DLC to instantly create some capitalists out of a size 5 state built factory? I don't see how I can empower them, but I can see how I can disempower or at least slow them by making factory goods cheap or state owned. Right?

>>2261935
Keeping the industrialists cowed is easy, only allow local workforce owned or national industry. Unless you fully build out arable land in your entire country you will have peasants managed by aristocrats SOMEWHERE
And if you don't want the poors? Do landed or wealth voting, that excludes peasants and anyone below a fairly substantial wealth point while letting the more wealthy of the middle class have voting rights

Good idea. Just in case you're the same guy, AWD shouldn't be a late-stage faction, but a middle-stage one at most, and have other, less-represented factions (I made a list of potential ones some threads back, alongside the two AOTF ones) split off from them instead.

>>2258624
>For the standards of the time it was still something incredible.
Oh yeah, that's why I played it when it was barebones. It was the game I wished existed as a kid - a 1st person medieval FPS about fighting battles (not just an RPG like TES). And even back then there were mods that made it worth playing over and over once you ran out of things to do.
>Mount and blade is something that should exist for a Western Dev
It's was an extreme niche unappealing to western companies. Games aping M&B only started coming out well after Warband became a niche success in the mid-10s. And even then, they were fixated around the multiplayer duelling aspect rather than the larger concept.

>>2260722

I hate this shit so damn much. Say what you want about the game itself but warband's engine DID NOT age well. At all

>>2261832
It's pretty well understood the world over that Warband is a good game using a crappy engine and Bannerlord is a crappy game using a good engine. Everything bad about Bannerlord is a lack of content, a lack of features, a lack of immersion and a lack of balance.

I had an idea while showering this morning about how armies and parties could employ their troops more dynamically outside of battles: detachments. Imagine if you could select a few troops from your party or the overall army and separate them from the main body as detachments that had specific tasks or roles around your main body of troops, but werent considered their own parties with their own AI wandering off and getting killed like idiots. You could select captains for them and they would be in the map as a separate unit "chained" to yours with a line on the map but only do strictly what their task is, like:
>scouts
Light skirmisher troops and horse move faster and explore ahead of your party in the direction you're moving. They spot enemies first and retreat immediately to rejoin the main force if they are outmatched. If not, like when encountering 3-10 looters, they auto-engage. Several of them patrol around your party and form a bubble of reconnassance. Enemy scouts may skirmish with them before battle.
>reserve
Troops of any kind you choose are held back and follow shortly after you and will reinforce you as soon as you enter battle. This conceals your true strength from enemies and also keeps the troops most effective at dealing with certain enemies from entering the battle piecemeal.
>baggage train
Units will form a caravan following after you that can carry more loot and supplies and in which you can offload heavier stuff so your main army moves more swiftly. If attacked, you can abandon it and escape like a lizard losing its tail, but it will cost you all the stuff it was carrying and a few troops. You can have several of them if you have enough loose horses, use them as bait or to support a larger army.
>escort
Your own personal hand chosen group that will follow you as you temporarily split off the main party to do missions and other shit like stealth. If you wander off too far for too long the whole army will come back to rejoin you.

Why do you think the game would have "small islands" instead of having regular CoH maps flavored as islands?

>>2258457
They do decent damage to infantry I think getting two humbers with tulips will mean you'll be able to pick off any lone unit that doesn't retreat immediately

>>2258289
coh2 is a good game but its no longer as good as coh3 imo

my favorite coh2 cope is when they say it still has more commanders than coh3

Was planning on giving the galactic nemesis crisis a try for the first time but instead ended up forming another federation again since 2 of my biggest neighbours had the exact same governing ethics as me. Nabbed all the core planets from the Hegemony of Zummo and released them as my research subject so there's really no one around to threaten me anymore. Not sure if to quit or slowly work my way up the cosmogenesis again.

Oh, right, the question was about the remake.
No, no reason to touch that shit. Nor the DLCs.

>surrounding
Dominions already does this, but you should be able to move your units, as long as they are in the same rank, or at least choose which order they are added to the rank in, since sometimes units that I really wanted to be in the center end up being on the opposite corners, and having a gap in the center of your army could be useful if you want to use AOE spells on the first turn, and if you have units of different speeds.

>>2232669
Well, thanks to my genius level strategy, I managed to defeat both of them.
Death was easy; War was a pain in the butt.
Then I tried sending my army (pope, three cardinals and a shittons on templar paladins) against the mage college and got obliterated (too many mages). Hilariously, I still won the game that same turn when the AI tried to take over a tower defended by an archangel and his posse.

I like playing as vanilla human factions like Baron and Senator and just getting plain armies of normal dudes then marching them into hell.
Sadly it never works in my favor but I like doing it

I like playing as Necromancer, Kobold, and Witch and fighting against normal human factions like Baron, Senator, and Barbarian.

>If it's real, there is a wikipedia button linking it for you.
Not quite, there are legendary and semi legendary people in the game. And I think there are legendary and possibly real ones that have no wiki page links, if I remember it right.

>>2258342
>real ones that have no wiki page links
Yes. An wikipedia page has nothing to do with whether or not someone existed. Plenty of people recorded or referenced in contemporary documents and primary sources have no wikipedia pages simply because existing by itself doesn't warrant one.

Many samurai recorded in documents from the Warring States Era in Japan have no wikipedia pages, even if they are mentioned in someone else's page.
Lots of historical people, probably the vast majority, are known only because their names, with absolutely nothing else about them, show up in some document.

For starters, you can repair and upgrade gear, which singlehandedly unfucks the economy and doesn't make the helmet with 2 more protection cost 2000x more. You can repair looted low quality weapons and make solid cash on it. Upgrades of high-end items can end up being pricey but it's still a fracture compared to the full price. For me this gives it the edge over basically every other mod and I wonder why it's so uncommon.
Other than that, stamina system, good tournaments, good arena, sailing and boarding battles, much better party/prisoner system (the bigger your party the more prisoners you can take, prisoner management as a skill ceases to exist), very nicely done castles, the main quest is okay-ish, the usual "make your own faction" questline, many very distinct and good compaions, the whole map and items just look great and many, many more.
Once again, it's built on Viking Conquest, so stuff like the ability to read is important too.
Troop upgrade trees don't seem too unusual compared to vanilla but I'm not complaining about them.
