Hot posts in thread: What games are you currently playing?

Wish I could have gotten DWU for 20.

 

Hello all, sill not much time to play anything other than ISG but I wanted to give everybody a heads up. Matrix, Slitherine, and Ageod are all running some massive sales at the moment. (Massive as in DW is now about 20 bucks).
While I'm not plugging or recommending any particular game, I took advantage of the sale to buy some titles that seemed attractive but not at their normal price. So If you had something you wanted there, but weren't sure it would be worth the investment, now may be the time to have a look.

 

I'm in the same boat as CrazyElf lately with little time for games. The weekend though should give me some free time but I want to focus more on ISG. Testing the new systems was fun last week but it truly left me hungry for more, this weekend I want to play more "natural" for the fun of it. I see so many good things that have really brought ISG to a new level of play and sophistication.

 

Right now I am quite busy and don't have time to game much, but I have played a bit of Cities: Skylines.

 

Next week huh, dang. I now I have to try to squeeze in more time for GD. I also fired up Homm3 yesterday for the first time in 3 years.

 

In no particular order:
ISG
PoE
Eador
Civ3/4/6
Grim Dawn

 

I´m currently playing.... ahh no time to play anything else than ISG !!!

On my mobile, when i want to raise into a higher (or lower?) level of mind, i play 'Dancing Line'... good for focus and concentration training

 

Right now i play Starpoint Gemini Warlords.
Before that, I played some time Playerunknowns Battlegrounds.
And I wait for the new patch from Polaris Sector.

 

I still steal a minute or two in Serious Sam 1 HD, what a wonderful throwback to simpler times. And game load and alt-tabs basically instantly.

As for Starbase Orion, I'm nagging my friend to borrow me an iOS device to play it but no luck so far. Too bad SO port Kickstarter failed and the game I hear so much good about is locked to devices I have otherwise zero incentive to own .

 

Well gents,
It's not so much what I'm playing but rather my to do list.
Mez has eloquently convinced me to try Star-base Orion while vmxa and Ashbery76 combined have convinced me to try SotS which has been sitting in my library (untried) for about two years.
Unfortunately, I've been a bit under the weather of late and it has killed my drive and ability to concentrate for extended periods of time, but once I feel like my old self I will give them both a go.
I did dig up many reviews on both games and I still see a lot I won't care for in SotS,,, but
The endorsement you fine gents have given the combat (and AI in that respect) have me hopeful that it will present a challenge. That alone interests me enough to give it a go.
Starbase Orion on the other hand sounds very MoO2 like and quite deep for a tablet game. Now I just need to borrow one to try it as I never bothered with such devices, still it actually has me quite intrigued and I want to take it for a ride as well.

 

do you have Birth of America or Birth of America 2 ?

 

I h

I have Birth of America as well Baron. In a way, even though it depicts a later and more complex era, civil war is easier. Primarily this is because you can take those regiments and brigades to merge them into divisions and eventually corps. It is a magnificent game Baron but also very demanding, if there is anything specific you wish to know about civil war (both the war and the game) just PM me, I will gladly try and answer.

 

I have it but I have never played it - I know the whole AGEOD series and I have played for a while "Birth of America" against a friend of mine

 

Yes Baron Hanzo, are you familiar with it? Very satisfying game, very complex. Not 4x, more of a strategy tittle.

 

can you say me the complete title of AACW ? is it by the way Ageod American Civil War ???

 

Recently I got the urge for more of a fight, at least more than what is normally found in 4xs, so I fired up AACW, luckily I have multiple versions and can play one before the AI was hamstrung by community feedback.

I love the time period from a military point of view and read Hardee's rifle and infantry tactics from that era when I was young. This game could have been far more enjoyable if the devs had actually programmed the AI to take advantage of the inherent strengths and weaknesses of the opposing sides, but it is still quite enjoyable, dare I say truly hard core.

So between posts, I'm killing Yankees at a rate that would have made old Bobby Lee proud.
