Elves being a weak/dying/going extinct/ancient race being displaced by humanity is the most generic fantasy trope there is.

Examples:
Lord of the Rings
Warhammer 40k
TES
Dragon Age
Witcher

There's hundreds more examples but I just picked some recent ones.

>>12066
For a decently long while in TES there was a pan-human alliance which threw itself against every elfen force that opposed them so you can chalk up every elf force except for the Falmer and Lefthand Elves.

The Falmer were defeated in a war of attrition, being a low-density population inhabiting Skyrim they were basically unprepared for the mass-migration of fuckangry Atmorans, who mind had the favor of actual dragons on their side as well.

The Lefthand elves are weird, they are implied to be dimensional-hoppers in some sources so they may as well have just fucked off as they might've been genocided.

Orcs were said to have not have any kind of central leadership until the end of Daggerfall, so for the most part Orc tribes were little better than buff goblins.

Ayleids were destroyed by a coalition of Cryods (the pre-Imperials) and Nedes (the pre-Nords) working together, plus a good number of sympathetic Bosmer as well. The Ayleids were desperately outnumbered and without their slave-economy they could not produce magical constructs to help defend themselves because they relied on soul gems from their slaves to power them. Not to mention by the midpoint of the war a load of Ayleid lords turned traitor and supported the humans anyways.

>Bretons, being the weakest of all due to mixture with Elves, only massacres Orcs from time to time
This one is a bit less clear-cut because the Bretons were initially the slaves of the Altmer that lived in the region, but since they didn't enforce the blood-purity shit of the Summerset Isles and they eventually freed all of their slaves they freely intermingled and ended up producing an entirely new race with time. There is still a few island chains in and around High Rock which is more Altmer than Breton, but they are considered part of the Breton people anyways because of their shared ties.

The Dwemer didn't get eradicated as much as… fucked off? Were completely erased from history by a vengeful god? We're still not entirely sure. They made a giant brass artificial god in the process, whatever happened to them.

vro stop playing games designed for the undeveloped minds of children

Here's your hardcore street gang bro

Based, unironically love the WD2 vibe

I like how enemy cards get played after you use it for operations - it's a cool idea I intent to appropriate for my own game.

Events and event texts are terrible, though. Heck, 5-year plan is America's card which discards one Soviet card at random (and if discarded card is America's, it gets played) - meaning that developers think that 5-year plan was a NEGATIVE for Soviet economy, hence it's American card.

>>11666
Even if 5-year plan is a technically a US card is actually one of the best card you can get as the USSR. It's one of the very few cards (maybe the only? I can't recall now) that can allow you to discard a score card, you just keep it until the last operation round. (AND you also get the operations if that wasn't strong enough.)

I bloody love Twilight Struggle. Used to play it all the time, not as much nowadays bc of work.
I'd highly encourage newbies to stick with it for a bit until the pieces fall into place. It can be a daunting game when you're starting out, but you soon learn by heart what most of the cards do, and that's when the game becomes so much more fun. If you'd like to watch some high-level matches to pick up strats and stuff, Crow Crowlas on YTube is a pretty chill dude whose commentary is p. good.
Btw, the dudes behind this game made a follow-up called 1989: Dawn of Freedom (yawn). It's an even better game in my view, but sadly doesn't have a digital version so finding people to play with is too damn hard.
>>11666
Yeah, made by libs unfortunately. Even more hilarious than the 5 Year Plan (actually a god-tier card as >>11667 explained) is De-Stalinisation being one of the USSR's key early game cards that lets you move into South America.

>>11334
Yeah, I played it. Playing China Card after Red Purge is pretty dumb btw.

Even MORE hilarious, Gorbie-temed cards are powerful USSR-friendly cards.

It was just a random game I was setting up to take a screenshot lmao.

Fucking Gorbachev sold off the entire presidium even when he wasn't GS

Is meta-gaming frowned upon?

did you go hard on the colour revolutions in the pre-events? If so the burgers are gonna hate us and slap a trade embargo on, so may as well go hardline but try and keep trade with France

>>11648
cut envelopes completely, drive out the corruption!
cut salaries too and pour money into the state mechanism and KGB. We will keep the careerists frozen in fear by super Stalinism mwahahaha

for real it's a good strategy in the early game to reduce corruption, just leave republics envelopes at 50 or they will go apeshit. Perhaps it does not matter on realism though anyways

>>11907
I'm pretty sure slashing bribes radically now causes the party to hate you in the recent update.

>>11924
yeah they hate you unless you increase state mechanism and KGB. Then they are too afraid to dissent.

>>10224
also the socdem statusnquo is marginally better

>>10223
Same

>>10049
it was better than f3

>>10039
>communism not mentioned a single time
pretty sure the scylla pirates mentioned it

>>10201

god will punish you

What game?

>>11986
Hearts of Iron 4 with The New Order (TNO) mod
>>11983
I want John Glenn to do the space stuff, that's why I went sucdem.

This is the only game where I feel good using heavily the CIA to fuck up the world, no shame in killing Nazis.

>>11980
Come on, you can't expect Americans to give up all their spooks, they have to believe in the mythos of their fallen president.

Plus, JFK wasn't /that/ bad on black rights.

>>11990
I'm not trying to do good in video games for the digital people. I don't care. I'm just criticizing some of stuff the TNO people did. Really sometimes it sucks balls

>>11991
If you're not invested in the plot then why even play TNO lmao.

I would say that despite the insect spawning, mountains provide a degree of security that is not possible outdoors. Siege attacks, surprise attacks, drill attacks are trivial to defeat if your base is in a mountain; the mountain blocks mortar shells, provides an insane degree of wall thickness on at least three sides, and prevents enemy drop-pods from falling inside the base. Insects can be a problem early-on, but after getting proper weapons colonists shouldn't have trouble killing insects. They're actually a convenient source of meat especially on the more punishing cold maps.

fake western game

play Amazing Cultivation Simulator instead

I wish I still enjoyed vidya to get back into Rimworld. It was a lot of fun, specially with mods.

>>11840
How do I pick up things?

>>11900
You got a job? That will help to renew your desire to play video games.
