What's wrong with that? UG: CW went 03 years with Early Access.

So what, it's Rule the Waves, but more streamlined and in 3D? How soon until they have more to show than a couple alpha renders with no gameplay implications? When are we getting a /v/ plays thread? And when's Admiralanon coming back?

>>15755242

Dunno, but they say we can expect early access by the end of this year, so it should be pretty soon.

Also gameplay-wise, I hope it is like Napoleon Total War naval battle, except with greater scale and customization.

It means there's a strategic map and a tactical map i.e. Total War/Ultimate General

You can't freely move the units in the global map like you do in the tactical map.

Darth is such an autistic faggot. I wish he tried to create good graphics for this games. Ultimate General ultimately fails to capture the player due to it's bland art style. I am not saying he needs to compete with TW graphics, but his games don't even reach indie pixel level which kills a lot of immersion and engagement.

The soldiers look fucking retarded moving on the terrain, the unit sizes aren't accurate representations and corpse piles look just silly. There certainly is some charm to it, but the graphics are fucking basic and he doesn't ever bother to accurately represent units sizes. Might as well use counters with strength/organisation/morale bars at that point.

>>15755828

How exactly do they look retarded? I'm not seeing the issue here.

Agree on the unit size, but again, it's much bigger than regular Total War, and there's no corpse piles in the game.

>but the graphics are fucking basic and he doesn't ever bother to accurately represent units sizes. Might as well use counters with strength/organisation/morale bars at that point.

You know that's bullshit you nigger. You can represent proportionally, the accurate to soldier detail is how Total War battles become progressive smaller in scale.

>How exactly do they look retarded?

The walking animations are very 2D while the terrain is 2.5D which makes it seem like the soldiers are floating along the path while playing their walk animation which is actually what's happening instead of looking like military units marching and of course there are corpses after fighting. They stick out like sore thumbs.

>>15755841

Dunno what the hell you are saying but they look walking to me.

Video as proof.

And there are corpses after fighting, but they never become a pile, they also disappear soon early.

>>15755845

I just don't like the graphics, I don't like the art style and I think it's dumb to have shitty graphics and then downsize units. Good for you if you like it, I also like some of the gameplay, but it just doesn't appeal to everybody. It's an objective opinion which I am free to have, especially after this faggot main objective of modding Empire was to increase all unit sizes manifold and then complain the engine is shit, thereafter making a game with downsized units himself despite having basic as fuck graphics.

>>15755857

OK, dude, whatever you say, but of all of the complaints about UG:CW, graphic is not one of it.

Some "proper complains" would be the game does not have a proper RISK map and that cavalry moves so goddamn slow (this can be fixed with mods).

But the graphics? Perfectly serviceable for a war game.

>especially after this faggot main objective of modding Empire was to increase all unit sizes manifold and then complain the engine is shit, thereafter making a game with downsized units himself despite having basic as fuck graphics.

And come on, a max size bridge of UG:CW is 2500 units, and the game is already big as it is.

An army in Total War is max around 5000 to 9000, so a division in UG is already a Total War army, and a corp has 04 divisions, so yeah, it's fucking massive.

Though to be fair, if Darth indeed makes TW equivalent, I wonder if he will still keep his army - corp - division - brigade system. That would truly mean multiple massive armies.

Why are some posts randomly deleted?

And damn, I actually wish this game functions as a bigger scale Battlefleet Gothic, would be cool.
