WH40K Gladius: Relics of War out soon

JH, I think you're talking about intra-faction politics, more than diplomacy per se. A few games take a swipe at that (e.g., Stellaris), but most games eschew that sort of complexity for the monolithic "faction" first established in the original Civilization more than a quarter-century ago.

It is interesting how little innovation there truly has been in the 4x space. Diplomacy is an even more pointed example than research, I think.

For once I'm staying out of this one.

Discretion? On this board?

Surely you're not serious? ;D

He is...and don't call him Shirley.

JarHead, I'm so glad somebody caught that reference and was able to channel some Lloyd Bridges back my way quickly!

It would've been real awkward if people thought I was actually chastising him...

FWIW I am also fluent in jive.

Looks like I picked a bad week to quit amphetamines.

I should have never stopped sniffing that glue.

only hours left till the Chaos Space Marines DLC release :D

i am not sooo into Chaos, but i like to have a new faction in the mix to fight against

cant wait to send Space Marines or Guardsmen against them

The Chaos DLC was going to be a day one purchase for me. However I am still having that Vuikan crash error after about 10-15 minutes. Until that is resolved I will be using legacy builds of the game which won't be able to use the new DLC.

Jarhead0331 · July 18, 2019, 08:22:48 AM

I keep trying to get into this game every time there is a new DLC released, but something holds me back? I can't figure out if its the UI, the disappointment of not being able to colonize and fight on different worlds, or a combination of both.

I'm pretty happy with it as a Warhammer 40,000 game with random maps and several factions to play as and against. A step up from Armageddon.

I also wish the Space Marines weren't so generic. Add some flavor. Let the player pick from different chapters, each of which have different perks and rules. Is this there, and I am just missing it?

mbar · July 18, 2019, 10:49:52 AM

I am not terribly knowledgeable of the lore but as far as I can tell the Space Marines in Gladius are generic.

The Gladius devs have extended OpenGL support until they can squash the Vulkan crash bug. Chaos Marines it is then!
