I will admit this here...I had to rage quit Baldur's Gate 3. I played about 15 hours and found my way to The Battle of Emerald Grove which I absolutely could not win after a couple of tries. I will return to the game at some point with a different avatar build but damn can that game be unforgiving. Anyway...

...it will be Trepang and Resident Evil Village: Shadows of Rose this weekend, with Diablo IV, V Rising and Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars waiting in the wings. It is almost October, after all, the best month of the year  :twirl:

Days Gone also beckons.

Going to play the early access for total war pharaoh this weekend.....but since everyone nowadays hates the total war series and the topic, will quietly enjoy it for what it is...

Beginning to have fun in DCS again. Viggen rocks.

And Baldur's Gate 3.

^Good luck.

And Grim I would love to see impressions of Pharaoh...I am hoping to be shocked by its novelty and quality.

I don't hate the Total War series, I still play it regularly. But I don't like what it has become in, say, the last 5-7 years.

Shootin' Nazis (alive and undead) and filling my eyeballs with Eerie comics is my general plan; figure on dealing with specifics as they arise.

p.s. Oh, and having a round or three in World of Warships as I finally have a carrier or two to putz about in.  Not as much fun as SPGs used to be in WoT, but okay in their own way.

With a couple of different choices you can avoid that fight.

^Yeah I know. It is quite the byzantine rabbit hole, tracking all the choices. I wanted to avoid that fight altogether and just kill the female 'evil' leader whats-her-face, but events took off outside of my control.

Gal Civ 4 Supernova and maybe some Last Epoch.  Also playing A Most Fearful Sacrifice boardgame on the three days of Gettysburg.

Re-discovering Hexs of Steel.  I finally figured out that there is a grand campaign you can play from 1939 to the end of the war.

I am trying to rekindle my love for all things Total War with the 1100 A.D. Mod for Rome 2. So far I'm good for a second date but not ready to take her home to meet Mom yet.  :embarrassed:   Have a great weekend Grogs.

Grim. Sometimes it feels like the world is a negative place. I hope you enjoy it. Don't want to spoil anybody elses fun.
I'd love some impressions. Especially over what they have done differently or improved over previous games.

Starfield.  It has got its hooks into me.  And BoC work.  And CM Shock Force 2 in the Fight Club tournament.  And a CMO AAR I need to finish up.  And preparing for a War Plan tournament.  And mowing the yard.....

Is that mod better than 1212ad for atilla total war?

Post by: Gusington on September 30, 2023, 05:53:55 PM
^It is more complete at this point and runs really smoothly. Submods are released for it regularly as well, like the 1177AD mod that covers the first Crusades. Additional factions are also introduced pretty regularly.

Would love to get this board game but I don't have space for a table big enough to handle the large map.  :embarrassed:  :embarrassed:

Yep, me too....ever since it came out wanted to pull the trigger but I also have limited space, plus I would only play solo.  Don't think it has any solo rules but people say it still can be played that way.  But typically I don't enjoy playing as both sides where I would make all the decisions.

Started watching Daniel Day Lewis's Lincoln movie.  Got me in the mood for ACW so I installed AGEOD's ACW2.  Hadn't played in years.  It is not a game you can play easily when you are distracted (I'm watching a friend's dog for the weekend).  Way too much to remember as you set up your turn.  Had some trouble getting it to run under Win10.  They say to run as adminstrator but I've had that fail too.  Just kept starting it until it ran(from one to four tries).  No crashes once it starts up so far.
