Ultimate Admiral: Age of Sail

Gusington · September 17, 2020, 07:40:40 AM

Yeah I was hoping it would be on sale right now too.

You guys are such cheap bastages. How many quality Age of Sail games to you have to choose from now? The developer deserves the support! O0

Confirmed if I get the game right on steam now I get the barbary campaign.

I have had it on steam since day one, but can't figure out how to get the DLC....comes up as a purchase for me.

It shows up in my library. But I bought the base game on their website before it was released on steam.

This board truly amuses me. Almost as much as TheChive, but for different reasons. All the lamenting and teeth-gnashing about lack of good wargames or creative designs for wargames. A good developer comes out with a game that is unique and different, and also gets generally good reviews. The first people on this board do is say they'll wait for a sale. Way to support a good developer.

The value of a new and innovative game goes down with the number of unplayed games in your inventory.

Yup. Sometimes we disappoint me too. :pullhair:

I agree, looks interesting and I'll get it at some point. I'm just too engaged in naval action to even bother with this.

I've enjoyed what little I've played of UA: AoS. The campaign needs some work. I would definitely consider buying it at full price if you are interested in fighting sail, particularly as there aren't a lot of game available from this era.

Yep, me too...I was in with the game from day one.

OK RyanE then I'll expect my gifted copy in Steam from you any minute now. Glad we can amuse you.

Not trying to stir the pot but this exchange reminds me of Joe Pesci and Ray Liotta at the beginning of Goodfellas. "I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to fuckin' amuse you?" ;D

Well to be honest RyanE's obnoxious comment made me more annoyed the more I thought about it.

Usually people that spend or count other people's money are great at parties.

Anyway, not that it's any of RyanE's business, but I am a very early supporter of Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts, which I commented on a few times up-thread and really enjoy.

And on top of that, I've been a founding member here since 2012 and worked at the Wargamer for 10 years before that. But he still felt the need to post 'way to support a good developer.'

Maybe I'm just sensitive.

Gusington · September 17, 2020, 11:57:10 AM

And btw JH's comment on me being a cheap bastage is true. But he can say that because he knows me.

Skoop · September 17, 2020, 03:37:03 PM

Lately I pass on games not because of money cause that's no issue for me. I'll spare no expense if I feel the need to. It's the economy of time. I start triaging the game with an "am I really going to sit down and play this more that a few hours or is it going to Rip me away from what I'm currently obsessively playing." If the answer is no, I close the steam page and move on.

I thought I read somewhere that it may only be available on the beta branch at the moment?
