Like Total War of Battle for middle Earth 2. Also citybuilding and a population training mechanic like pic related or Popolous would be nice. So you "convert" your villagers into soldiers and they don't pop out of nothing from a building.

Pic related had a hard life.

>hated by fans of Bullfrog anyway, because of RTS and citybuilding elements

>is a pretty functional game, despite things under the hood being a complete mess

>will never ever ever ever ever ever ever get a sequel or worthy successor, only shitty indy games with shitty uncomfy graphics, who don't even attempt to introduce comfy citybuilding or RTS mechanics

People can't even copy Popolous and that game is a lot easier to copy, if you ignore terraforming. No one even attemps that.

the army building was bullshit because of the amount of time it took for people to age so if you had a failed assault enjoy leaving the game running for like a fucking week to try and get a standing army again when you could have just went the good route and made a bunch of buildings instead to win

Anon, did you play the game without making any breeder disciples?

>make small army

>your male population pretty much never recovers

whoop te fucking do

would be alright, if they wouldn't constantly get stuck in random terrain elements

and the enemy troops were pretty much dead the moment they get into your influence ring, so it doesn't even feel like much of a challenge

just keep building colliseums and win

the game design really wasn't thought through

Uh guys. Just a question, how big were the cities you build?

You can comfortably support an army in the low hundreds, if you build big enough. It's all just a matter of scale.

Also maybe I am alone in this, but when I conquer an enemy city, I actually build it up to make it medium town and a happy town. That's still for some reason "evil" though.

>and the enemy troops were pretty much dead the moment they get into your influence ring, so it doesn't even feel like much of a challenge

Have you ever tried a no wonder run?

>just keep building colliseums and win

Or an evil run?

I think you just don't appreciate comfy games, anon.

Black and White 2 is comfyness concentrated at an extremely high level.

There are very few games I can think of where you convert civilians into soldiers.

Fate of the Dragon

And

Battle realms

I can never play as pure good. It's too boring.

That's why I like Black and White 2. You can have a nice citybuilder, but you you can also attack the enemy.

Also it's not like you can ever lose. It's a Peter Molyneux game, anon.

Black & White 1 was one of my favorite games but goddamn did they fuck up 2 so bad. It was almost like a completely different game than the first one and having the opponent's faggot army come down constantly to be a pain in the ass made it way more fun to just be evil because of how often they come over to fuck with you.

Because you used war to solve the problem of the second Japanese guy being a faggot and constantly attacking bad anon you should have just built more buildings. Being good in the second game was fucking stupid.

Isn't there one level where its impossible to win as a good guy due to the amount of shit the AI throws at you? I think it shits disasters all over you while sending army after army or something.
