Warhammer 40K: Armaggedon - Turn-based strategy from Slitherine

[FuelBlooded]

Lordz?! They did some mods for Total War games lol.

Hopefully it's better than Space Hulk.

Space Hulk is good game after patch 1.4* was released; it is shame I am not fan of logic games and Spehce Merines** to play it past 3rd mission though.

*Seen game on Comrade comp and it was like Incubation done in WH40K setting, but 1.0 was buggy shit.

**Intro Movie is cool and very Grim Dark though.

 

[Grunker]

It is? They fixed movement speed and shit? Gotta get into it again I 'spose. You hear that, Trash?

It's a Panzer General clone. Basically the bottom of the barrel of the turn based "strategy" games.

Still miss out with core mechanics. No genestealers emerging from floors or ducts for instance. Though I kinda remember them adding these in a few DLC missions. Game is a poor version of the classic. Still better off with Alien Assault or the excellent old EA version of Space Hulk.

Btw, Lordz also did the excellent Commander: The Great War which looks like a PG game and even uses some of its mechanics but puts that into a massive WW1 wargame.

I haven't played Panzer General. I didn't play TBS at all before joining the Codex almost, so I'm way behind on the classics.

Panzer General isn't a classic. It's just old. It's a "wargame" that doesn't represent anything concrete and has a bizzarro game scale. Rites of War (another Panzer General clone) was a decline because it removed all simulationism from Wh40k computer games and opened the door to stuff like Firewarrior and DoW.
Looks like the rape is never going to end.

Man, kids these days .. Something about your post tells me that when we old guys were playing PG (1994), you were either not around or playing Boulderdash from your cousins leftover datasette.

 

[Malakal]

People seriously concerned about a franchise designed around overpriced plastic toy soldiers fighting and "pew pewing" themselves declining. Wow. Really? You take this shit seriously?

Hint: Awor is not a person you should be listening to.

Panzer general was a really fun game. It was just a bit to easy to find that winning formula.

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

Fantasy General was one of the games I really liked back in the day. Today I'd recommend OpenGeneral (an overhaul of Panzer General II with improved engine and easy access to different e-files), but admittedly I did not check on its development in over a year.

Not much weirder from a normal adult's perspective than taking computer games seriously and being concerned about them declining, ie what this forum's about.

I always thought games "declining" was just a meme over here. I came here for rpg discussion.

Yeah, show off about how you played shitty beer and pretzel pseudowargames instead of playing real stuff.

Please, tell me you're just trolling.

 

[Malakal]

No I am not trolling. I came here for unmoderated rpg discussion with no limits.

And I think that WH40K is a setting aimed at selling toy soldiers. Plastic models? Check. Overpriced? Check. Makes no sense and is hurr durr grimdark and edgy? Check. Chain-sword? Check.

watch out son you gonna get ignored

nobody calls chainswords stupid and lives to tell the tale

 

[Malakal]

Whatever I aint gonna argue. You know you are wrong anyway, Games Workshop only cares about selling their overpriced models and everything else resolves around that.

 

[mondblut]

WH40k is incredibly gay, but would work well with PG-like engine. I'd absolutely love Final Liberation 2.

 

[Burning Bridges]

I do not want to comment on Slitherine in general, but the titles made by the Lordz always left a very good impression on me. I would expect good graphics, a fast engine and not many bugs.
On the flip side they struck me as a bit bland feature wise.

Actually, it's centred around Horus Heresy novel series nowadays. GW was about to go under when someone from Black Library decided that it's a good idea to start writing novels set in Horus Heresy which brought them a lot of income. If only they'd ban Graham McNeil and Ben Counter from writing them... *sigh*

Also, game miniatures aren't "toy soldiers". They are both models for painting and units in a game.

PG is fun, but it is rather... abstract.

Sounds like: "miniatures are not toy soldiers, except they are..." to me
If it was primarily about gameplay, you would be playing with printed tokens, instead of wasting hundreds/thousands bucks on pathetic plastic toys.
Then you people dare to get butthurt about DLC ripoffs in computer gaming
