A sequel to the Deneb topic, who is also a super hotty

But, like, Nimufu (Nimfo) in Breath of Fire 2 is pretty hot, too... and there's the intro cartoon to Bewitched

...

Is it the hat? Is it the tight clothes? What's this have to do with Ogres?

Well, Witches in Ogre Battle have the very powerful ability to stun the entire enemy team... if you're lucky. The accuracy is low, but this would be a DEVASTINGLY overpowered move in most other games. And you can cast it TWICE

It's like every fight you have a Refresher Orb Tidehunter on your team!

They got nerfed a tad in Ogre Battle 64 - instead of always a stun they apply an element specific status effect. It's a LOT more accurate, but no longer AoE

...

So, what's your opinion on status effects in strategy RPGs? strategy games tend not to have bosses that are immune to all status, but status effects tend to be weak such as armour down and such

I remember Armored Core had a bunch of shit that could take damage, and you had to pay for repairs after missions. Hell you had to pay for any ammo you used too.

I wish they'd make Armored Souls

I don't think the genre is large enough to look for something with such specificity.

I know the Earthsiege games were all about it, maybe that just what their entire appeal was

Torchlight II, I'm not sure how to feel about these type of games. I just never have any space in my inventory and most of it is spent managing it, haha.

Torchlight 3 just came out...

I didn't like Torchlight 2 as much as Torchlight 1... Torchlight 1 had a weird humbleness to it

Oh that reminds me to check FF12 since they removed Denuvo.

Disgaea is an easy one, same with Ys1+2

But I noticed you have Tales of Maj'eyal on there, I put a lot of good time into that
Organ Trail is a faithful recreation of Oregon Trail, so if you like/hate the original it will be about the same
Artifact Adventure gets a solid 8/10 for RPGing from me, dawg - excellent game
Grim Dawn > Diablo 3
Binding of Isaac Rebirth is a must-have
LISA The Painful is top tier excellence
Spelunky is a must-have
Dead Cells is a must-have
One Shot is pretty good
Recettear is great
Ittle Dew 2+ is solid

Treasure Adventure World is a must-have at 90% off, a great game

This is cool. I had 2 PS1 games called Ogre Battle but played completely differently. One was like FFT but slower (and not as good, though it was still good) and the other plays out how you explain in the OP.

Man is this THE game if you like micromanaging your units though. Disgea has probably claimed the crown now but I was always constantly screwing around with unit formation and who had which items and which tarot cards to use and etc.. IIRC there were even little vampire units that would be useless coffins during the day haha. I should try and dig it up sometime, it was lots of fun.

Ya, for all the Disgaea sequels are worth - I get the most out of the first one due to the massssssssssive intrigue the item world brings

I can't recall, are you actively playing the game right now? or just watching videos of it? (that seems odd)

Not actively playing:

I do know that being overpowered drops your alignment, but that's typically not an outright victory condition... although it does affect quest interactions

Building up units and heroes and all the dialogue and interesting political stuff... iz good.

But rolling over entire armies with a god unit is more RPG than strategy.

...

In MotBQ the army strategy was a little different. Every unit type the enemy can spawn has its own custom orders of desired waypoints - and as such they'll rarely free lost towns or pursue your idle units. When a unit is destroyed or returns to base the enemy has a finite number of funds to replace their units... which is why it seems like sometimes the enemy has unlimited units despite how many you destroy: Slaying the leader and having them return to base may be a solid tactical move, but reviving just the leader is a relatively low cost move... a total wipeout of a unit bears the highest cost and drains the enemy resources the most.

Of course, there are a few missions where the enemy funds never seem to deplete... this is because CERTAIN units (Ogres, Gares, etc) don't have a hiring cost - and other units have very low hiring costs, so the enemy can send many many more of them.

...

It's different in Ogre Battle 64 where every map has a fixed number of specific units as well as triggers for specific reinforcements/brige destructions/etc... instead of a unit working alone according to a unit-type script the enemy has a better grasp of team strategy and will try to press their advantages when they can (which is almost never since the enemy is usually weak). As such when you eliminate whole units they tend to never come back, and routed units tend to be obsolete. However, individual units are a LOT more likely to make actually good moves like bait your units away from objectives while a second unit captures (as soon as the third mission even) and are more likely to gather a large force and sieege your HQ (something you'll almost never see since the trigger for it is rare... you have to have nothing on your HQ while controlling only the closest 2 towns to the enemy HQ)

On top of this, individual maps have more minor objectives; such as escort quests, merchant quests, protecting a bridge, capturing a scout, and so on... almost like campaign missions in normal RTSs

I always liked the Calculator class in FFT, but since it's a turn based game it's brutally overpowered.

If you had to do that math on the fly, that'd be kinda nifty.
