I had an idea for a video game, imagine a spiritual reincarnation of Red Alert 2, except instead of the USSR invading the US, China invades Australia. This map gives me good vibes.

I’ve never seen anyone talk about this relatively new yt channel, they seem to post history of socialist counties.

I bought Universe at War on release and never actually played it lol.

I think Dawn of War (Soulstorm) is probably the best RTS of all time.

after posting this, I took a curious gander at their other videos and

he’s complaining about optional game modes like “not killing everyone” lol.

ok so there is grand strategy and tactics. Both probably the same in grand strategy, civ5 probably requires more thinking the tactics department. in civ4 you just make sure your stack of doom is bigger (more units in single tile).

my opinion: Civ4 is all around a better game. Most details are just better in Ci4. Except, Civ5’s one-unit-per-tile + hex-tiles are superior to Civ4’s stacks-of-doom. It boils down to what’s important to you, tile based tactics, or the rest of the game.
