If you buy the bundle it's 10 bucks off and you get FOG II with it.

Even if you already own FOG2, you'll still get the $10 Off discount by choosing the Bundle option for purchasing FOG:Empires.

Yeah.. I don't think they give you an 'extra' FOG II.. just a thankyou for already buying that

A little tip if you plan to use FOG 2 for battles...after you install Empires, you need to run FOG 2 once so it can complete some setup.  You don't have to fight a battle, just run it and get to the menu and then exit.  Then within Empires you can export battles.

 Well guys. Have played 15 turns or so as Judea (for spying purposes😉)

The UI is brilliant and the game runs like a dream.

One thing I didn't realise was that when you manage to form a province you get not only a halving in decadence from the constituent regions but also a free Governors Palace which provides +5 Culture.

Nice :bd:

Let's put it this way. You guys who have been waiting for this game are NOT going to be disappointed.

Setting up our MP game was a breeze by the way . Good job Slitherine.

I can wait a day or two for some comments before purchasing. I just want to make sure it is not a disappointment like "Imperator: Rome" seem to be for some people. I'm still waiting on that to see how it develops from here. However, I have high hopes for Empires.

Sure, seems like a smart plan if your not sure....I think it will take a number of days for people to really form reasonable opinions on a game like this, although initial reactions are good to read, I suspect won't get the full picture for some time until people really dive in and get to later parts of the game.  Everyone reacted to "Rome" quickly because they had a lot of ideas already in their head based on past history, with this game that doesn't exist.  Personally, I think there will be room on my shelf for both.

A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.

If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.
