Thanks, I'll take a look at that.  I don't think I ever played past the first version.


SFC2 EAW and OP are far better than the original SFC.  More everything.

And OP works.

Just caved and bought Civil War II. I feel SO ashamed.  :'(

Seems like they usually are, but with the Winter Sale starting in just three weeks and it being longer, not much point in having a long Autumn Sale I guess....

Awesome.  Let me know what you think.  I bought it on release and was pretty enamoured with it; sadly it didn't sell and the studio are going to close. :(

I was eyeing this one, it was a toss up between this and Gal Civ.. Gal Civ won... Oh well maybe I'll grab Star Ruler in the next sale.

I bought GalCiv3 a short time back, on sale, despite telling myself I'd never buy another GalCiv game after the previous two. 

Started it twice.  Froze and/or crashed both times shortly after getting into the game.  Uninstalled.

::)

Did you report it to Stardock?  They're very good with bug reports.

Lessee...

Total War ATTILA plus DLC (minus Charlegmagne)
Witcher 3
Borderlands 2
FTL

For a tidy $75 or so...

Was very tempted by CMANO for $40 but still not quite in the sweet zone price-wise where I can't resist. Also haven't yet picked up DC Barbarossa although will at some point I'm sure....

Mostly thought I"m still spending all my time with Fallout 4. Amazing if flawed game...

Just mordheim - shortly will begin the adventures of 'short gus', 'kidney stones Bob' and 'huw of the valleys'

I feel somewhat responsible for this in various ways...  :coolsmiley:
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

Rome 2 is the girlfriend with the slightly large thighs and smallish boobs that's a great cook and doesn't bitch when you go out with friends. Attila is the dumb, hot chick you cheat on her with. And then feel guilty about it the next day. But you know she will forgive you for it once you've told her how beautiful she is. Tough choice.  :coolsmiley:

I was just asking about videogames - I didn't expect a confession (ironic, I know)

There are tons of crash reports with the same M.O.  on the forum.  Definitely a known issue.

I will start it up again, eventually.  Not in any hurry until it's had more updates.   I'm just afraid that it's gameplay will end up being as shallow as the previous iterations though.

Gameplay didn't impress me, initiated a refund.
