Quoting: lvlarkHmm, might have to get this one. My attempts at a Japan playthrough have always stopped soon due to it feeling... lackluster? But not until summer - must not get distracted from work for the coming 2-3 months.
Student doing finals ? :)

Quoting: NakorOnFlipFlopsHave you played HOI 4 ?
Or do you want something even more micro managed than that?
You obviously haven't played Dominions 4, the king of micromanagement. Holy cow...
I heard of it and I think I even saw it on steam at some point.
Not for me.
Was just asking OP how deep tactics they wanted , is all.

Quoting: razing32How much you want to bet the lack of (proper) Linux drivers will bring it down like a rock tied to its neck :whistle:
You made me login for this one, well done :P

The Nvidia Linux driver is a binary version of the windows 10 driver, bundled up for Linux. Any performance differences between windows and Linux on Nvidia is more down to the quality of the: OpenGL port, OpenGL itself, Middleware, Lack of developer investment/knowlage, Engine inefficiencies between platforms etc..

I doubt the Linux driver will "bring it down like a rock" because you can apply the same theory to the windows driver by that logic.
Well , my comment was a half joke at some driver issues with Nvidia on Linux.
But the following you mentioned : " OpenGL port, OpenGL itself, Middleware, Lack of developer investment/knowlage, Engine inefficiencies between platforms etc.." pretty much mean you can't milk this thing properly if the people making the games and tech behind them don't give you a good milking machine ;)

Quoting: NakorOnFlipFlopsI guess the lack of interaction in battles is intentional. All Paradox games have this lack of focus on tactics during battle, all that a battle gives you is a result and some info that you can use in your strategy, like which unit type scored a lot of hits and which one didn't. I don't really have issues with the lack of tactics personally. Concerning the small amount of events, you're right of course.

Armor Clash II looks like a cheap RTS that could end up being fun, releasing soon

This does look like C&C

Curios if they do give it a campaign wit the the cheesy over the top characters and generals C&C:ZeroHour had.
