Not sure what I'll be playing.  Probably some Total Conflict: Resistance and maybe some Old World.

BoC work.  Playtesting Flashpoint Campaign Southern Storm.  Maybe some CMO.  And just maybe one post of the Rule the Waves 3 AAR.  Have a Happy Easter, everyone!

Happy Easter all. Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden and Diablo IV waiting in the wings.

I'm really enjoying Galactic Civilizations IV Supernova.  So far I played with peaceful opponents to learn, but my next game will be with more aggressive civilizations.
And Command Modern Operations for some real wargaming.

Mostly Star Trek Infinite so far. Lost my first game with the Klingons. Started a new attempt with the Federation.

Anguille -- Interested in your take on Star Trek Infinite.  Don't care about multiplayer or Star Trek canon.  How is it as a single player 4X?

Did this one end up being any good compared to Stellaris? I mean stellaris with a star trek mod has so many more features right?

Ok. It is officially dead. no more updates confirmed after only 6 months of steam store time. My problem with this is that they could not possibly have brought this game up to stellaris feature complete standards by then?

This should simply have been an addon for stellaris. That way it would keep any features stellaris addons and mods could bring.

I agree 100%

Just about to win my first game on normal as i am a relative newb to this series and I have had a wild ride with it and thought I was going to go under at one point. Also loving the aesthetics of this one.
The new Warlords expansion in the next month promises to improve things a lot in relation to combat though I have found things up top my level already :-)

A little bit of "War on the Sea."  Just installed the Dutch East Indies campaign mod and eager to try it out.

I like it so far. The Klingon campaign was my learning campaign and didn't go very far in the mission tree. Didn't manage to build up for the Borgs. The Federation was a lot stronger. The Borg destroyed all my planets.

Indeed, the game won't get any new addons nor updates which is a shame. All achievements can be done and the game can be completed with any faction. I am not very good with mods even though i did install the star trek mod once. Somehow it was all too fast (events etc.).

I intend to play and win at least once with each faction. Being old and slow it may take a while (or ever) to reach that goal. I love Star Trek but i am not a hardcore trekkie so i am fairly happy with this. I just wish there was a random map generator.

The siren call of another ARMA DLC has been answered and DLd - so that girl is back on the books for a smidge.  Honestly, going to need a dedicated drive for ARMA alone at the rate that I tack things on from the workshop hither and yon.

Otherwise, something in the air around here has clapped my sinuses something fierce and I feel like a hammered piece of shit so yay.  Don't recall ever being this beset by allergies before and I've lived in this region practically my whole life.  Maybe a side effect from 'vid?  Dunno.

-save some Claritin for me and have a good one, folks.

WARNO - Friend back from holidays who likes this one so will have a few games and get back into it.
Company of Heroes 3 - Still a lot of fun.
Warthunder - Event ship and camo complete. What a grind.

Maybe some star citizen. Too far behind to get the F7A token though I think. Way too buggy and time consuming.
