sombrero, do gaming w PC Games to play in local co-op?

I was a bit confused when you said local co-op. It implies 2 computers on the same local network(connected to the same router, no internet connection required). I think the term you’re looking for is split screen gaming.

When I looked at pictures of Spelunky games like Clonk and Liero popped into mind, I think there are options for split screen multiplayer in those games, they’re old school PvP games.

ono,

My friends call that LAN play or LAN co-op. To me, local co-op has always been a more general phrase, covering all of the above.

Its a bit dated but still good, Imperium Galactica II

Listen, Crusader Kings 3 is really interesting. You’re specifically playing the ruler of your nation, not the nation itself. You’ll play as your heir when you die. It’s much more roleplay oriented than other grand strategy games. Even Total War Three Kingdoms with its focus on the characters and their relationships doesn’t come close. Give it a look.

And obviously Stellaris.

Skua, (edited ) do gaming w Grand Strategy games?

Other people have mentioned Paradox several times, and they are unquestionably the big name of the grand strat genre. Their main games are:

  • Hearts of Iron. WW2 setting, pretty much exclusively about war. If you want to flex your strategic skills, this is the one to get.
  • Victoria. The 100 years before WW2. Primarily about industrialisation. Victoria games have by far the most in-depth economy systems.
  • Europa Universalis. These ones are about the era of European colonialism, spanning three to four hundred years with the Napoleonic wars at the end. EU4 is pretty the most like a Total War campaign map in feel.
  • Crusader Kings. 700 years of feudalism. The map in these ones is limited to Europe, the western half of Asia, and the north of Africa. Distinct in that you play as a dynasty rather than a country. These ones are the most roleplay-heavy
  • Stellaris. This is the only one I haven't played, so I'm afraid I can't say much about it
Petros, do zapytajszmer w K.Harris na prezydenta - wątek

Krótkoterminowo jest to sukces. Długoterminowo nic nie zmieni.

Natomiast w skali kosmicznej, jeszcze tylko czarnoskóry papież, i jesteśmy gotowi na koniec świata.

W 24h zebrała 100mln USD darowizn na kampanię. W niecałe 48h ogarnęła dość delegatów, by mieć zapewnioną nominację Partii Demokratycznej, oraz zapewniła sobie poparcie wszystkich Demokratycznych gubernatorów i całej wierchuszki partii.

Ze scenariuszem “Biden rezygnuje z ubiegania się o reelekcję” najbardziej martwiłem się, że Partia Demokratyczna się zachowa jak zwykle – kompletny chaos, obrzucanie się błotem. To by dało Trumpowi wygraną bez problemu.

Ale teraz, kurczę, nie wygląda to źle! W tych wyborach praktycznie nikt nikogo nie przekona do zmiany, na kogo chce zagłosować. Pytanie jest oto, ilu wyborców i ile wyborczyń zostanie w domach. Wygląda na to, że Harris mocno generuje entuzjazm, a więc mocno pomoże ludzi przekonać, by iść na wybory.

Generalnie czniać wszelką hegemonię i imperializm, ale Trump byłby realną katastrofą. Patrz: Project 2025.

Paradox has you covered. Crusader Kings, Europa Universalis, Rome, Stellaris, Victoria and Hearts of Iron. Take your pick and enjoy.

chloyster, do gaming w Are there any voxel-rendered (if that's the term) game like Voxatron?

Perhaps not exactly what your looking for, but there is an indie puzzle game based off picross 3d (one of my all time favorite puzzle games) that uses voxel styling

I loved Picross 3D 2 (or Round 2 or whatever it was called) on the 3DS! As you surmised, it’s not what I’m looking for, but I’ll try to snag it the first chance I get. Thanks!

Ugurcan, do gaming w Grand Strategy games?

How about Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord? It might be more action oriented than TW but still it’s a decent Kingdom-ing game.

BigLgame, do gaming w Grand Strategy games?

How in the hell have you not played a paradox game. Grab ck2 and go nuts. Stellaris might be what you want tho.

Ugurcan,

If you like to have a Sci Fi flavor, give Stellaris a shot too!

Donjuanme, do gaming w Grand Strategy games?

I mean… Welcome to 4x! There’s so very much out there. Have you really played no sid Meier’s civilization? That’s just a half step up on the empire building complexity (and a quarter step down on combat, which you don’t have much interest in if I understand correctly.) there are a number of other civilization inspired games that are coming out right now, as well as some older ones that have a different spin on the civ framework (I don’t have a list in front of me). Galactic civilization 3 is another half step deeper into the empire building genre, Stellaris and sins of a solar empire are also rubbing elbows with greatness of space 4x (sins is a very slow rts which might be intriguing to you). Back on earth we go for the much more involved 4x, crusader Kings, Victoria, and Europa universallis, those are entries that will make creative assembly, and their total war series, look like children playing with blocks and a peg board.

My kids and I had a similar though more humorous and less mind blowing experience after reading the “I crave star damage!” comic.

Don’t crave star damage unless you want bits of you carved out or frozen off in the future.

I had a hard time getting into it too, but I got to it. So I will paste it in.

From: lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/24552643 via lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/joes

The number of participants stayed the same. There were 2722 more tournament games than last year, the proportion of all games played went up 6.6%. 9 fewer people ascended 13 fewer games, with a higher ratio of 2.9 asc/player. There was only 1 ascension in Fourk, Dyna and 1.3d. 81% of games were scummed, 58% of all scums that month, basically split 2:1 between 31PwnMoat (again) and hecatonheir (last year it was dedal). Medusa was killed 87 more times, again mostly by Valkyries, but also dwarven Anachrononauts. 3.7 was played even more, dnh gained 7 ranks (+3.9%p), Un lost 4th place to HackEM (-4.9%p), Splice stayed in 3rd place, Spork/Fourk were played least, but 1.3d shot up 4 ranks from last place. On the australian hardfought server 8x more games were played.

And a comment from lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/joes

Clan DeepCavernGoobs managed to break all conducts in 19 games. malor ascended 11 variants; Merlek killed Medusa 9 times, only ascended 4, but got a trophy in all 21 variants. Only Umbire ascended 1.3d (uncrowned). jonosmalls and smurphy ascended Unnethack (jono even without Elbereth [also in xnh], killing all Riders and Baalzebub).

Grunt: Merlek killed Medusa and got the Luckstone, hothraxxa finished Sokoban. hothraxxa ascended NH4 without killing Vlad and the Quest nemesis. Fourk: recuerdo ascended, fitsf killed Croesus. FIQ: oh6 escaped in celestial disgrace, Merlek splatted on the Planes, Umbire killed Rodney. hothraxxa ascended DynaHack, bleeko reached Gehennom. fitsf and malor ascended SLASH’EM, ocnda escaped in disgrace. disperse and malor ascended SlashTHEM.

Damn, how is the Prey 2017 version one of my all time favorites but I didn’t know there was a 2006 Prey game.

They are completely unrelated. They just had a really cool name they didn’t want to lose.

It probably doesn’t help that it’s abandonware and was limited largely to the PC and Xbox 360.

A lot of people only hear about it in “top abandonware games” lists that would mention it and games like Alpha Protocol which was recently relisted.
