Effing pronoun nonsense.

Ask me why I can't take any of you seriously

Very interesting unique talk, tacticon deserves more attention!

He / Him / Lol

gay race communism - we DONT want it. i'm from eastern germany i still see what this creates

Nice chat! I have to say, I never really understood where the idea came from that RTS cannot be a mainstream genre, while RTS games were are the top of the sales charts in the late 90's and early 00's. I think the relatively lacking sales performance of RTS games over the past decade is not because the audience is no longer there, but rather that the games themselves were lacking. Studios kept making their games more and more sweaty and competitive, chasing that imaginary e-sports crowd, while research has proven time and again that RTS gamers overwhelmingly prefer singleplayer skirmish and campaign. Studios have been stripping RTS games of many features that made them unique and awesome, in favour of watered down MOBA mechanics. In addition to that, most of these games were made on a shoestring budget and thus were never really able to compete with the production values of the AAA RTS games of yesteryear. Having said that, I have a lot of confidence in this new wave of RTS games. I feel that more and more developers are realizing what made RTS awesome and focus on that, instead of chasing the lastest gaming trends. The points touched upon by the panelists in this video confirms that.

A starship captain who, among other tasks, micromanages their crews' love lives. Do you also need to make sure each crew member wears clean underwear and brushes their teeth?

Are you serious? Adaptory?😐

Are you saying, "meow?"

When I think of a 'God Game' I think of something like 'From Dust'. Its about influencing, not controlling.

Very cool !

I'm sure one of these SHE/HER's is a bloke!

Great discussion, thanks guys - would recomment to watch for every RTS-fan.

Both of the hosts did a fantastic job. Very high-quality work. I am also in love with the design of the tactics table picture. Got a sub and like from me. I look forward to more content. Thank you.

nice Command & Conquer reference!

What are the games that appear on the 2024 banner ? I recognise the plague doctor from Darkest Dungeon but not the rest

TIME STAMP PLZ

Right miau :D 14:18

Lots of good stuff

games graphics look worse than 10 years ago

Songs of Silence is fantastic and I've been having a lot of fun with it. I'm excited for the new update, really want to try out the new campaign map and units.

Class. Good time to be a Strategy gamer. Thank you Hooded Horse, Havoc and all the Devs / content creators.

Would have been great to have the Games name on screen during the trailer, or a list of Wishlist links etc. Otherwise thank you so much Havoc and Zakh, also timestamps would be glorious. :/

Love it! So many games to fill the time... I'm going to need more time!

Thanks for setting this up! I've really been looking forward to it. Loved the conversations from last time.

Hope to see this event a lot more in the years to come... Wishing it a lot of success!

great presenters, gg.

From wich game dose the Plague doctor comes from in TACTICON 2024 logo ? its diferent from darkest dungeon, with deformed hands and hat.

Thanks for putting this together! Happy to have our squad tactics heist RPG, Cyber Knights: Flashpoint, featured in the TactiCon Steam sale.

Really enjoyed this talk, thank you so much for sharing! Excellent game design nuggets.

I completely agree on CK3, unless one really enforces self.imposed_rules, the game is boring. Just breed great characters with lots of congenital skills, then just hire the best characters for the positions you want, keep some money to hire mercenaries to crush any rebellion because AI doesn't account for that possibility, conquer conquer conquer... That's why I made a mod that would hide almost all congenital traits from the player, plus certain congenitals I made them much more common, and much weaker, attraction traits for example are just ridiculously overpowered.

I'm very excited.

These Tacticon videos are so great. Glad I stumbled onto these.

This information is pure gold. How are more teams not watching this?

40:56 the killing of worlds I love that book

Civ 4 is best civ

so stupid that you girls add He/Him to your names

As an inspiring strategy game designer this is gold! Thank you guys

very deep and intersting conversation, thank you

Thanks for getting these developers together! Really cool discussions!

Amazing to get a peak inside the discussions that create these games! Really like the discussion about whether (or more, how much) the AI should be asymmetrical. I think this is why I haven't liked recent civ games and one of the reasons I like Old World. Civs I to IV to me felt like playing inside a simulation. V and especially VI feel like you're playing an overly complex board game. To me the AI being deliberately asymmetrical and a part of the simulated world is far more immersive than when they act like another human playing the game. I play for the simulation of growing a civilization, not for a simulation of playing human opponents.

Hey, is there any footage of the Espiocracy stream?

The voice for both is clean and sleek good hosting found the showcase today,Just subbed
