Well, I have spent £200 this week on games from Gamersgate and gog , but nothing is comeing close at grabing my attention, because Dominions3 is just about the best game I ever played, so its Dom 3 for Me :)

Yes!

I'm also cramming some Dominions 3 the last few days.  Still learning a lot of stuff along the way.  I finally did get around to putting in the three recommended mods (from the multi-player thread) and it was a piece of cake what with the in-game Mod enabler.  I hope there wasn't extra stuff I needed to do other than unzipping & turning them on, as I recall someone saying that some of the new graphics weren't "on" by default.  :-[


Mods, that sounds good! Im still a newbie,the game is vast, so all this is great value for money in a game.

I was a bit wary of adding the CBM mod (the others are just improved pixel graphics for a few things) but it really is just a balance mod, mostly with some adjusted values so it didn't drastically alter the core gameplay or anything.

Dominions 3 all the way, baby!  Between two PBEM games and a single player game I have going, I seriously doubt anything else will get a look-in! 8)

AOW Shadow Magic thanks to all the great recommendations here. And you all were right as usual. What a great little game it is. Full of hidden surprises strategic as well as tactical and addictive as hell.

Splendid!  I'm really glad you're enjoying it.  I haven't introduced it to anyone yet who didn't fall instantly in love with it.  Just an amazing game. :)

If I have any time after all of this, I'm trying out some Niefelheim strategies in Dominions 3.  Against the AI I can almost always win with either T'ien Chien or Abysia.  But, I'm still only playing early age.

Pfft...what is this garbage.  Stick by what you say man!

Heh, sorry.  I realised that, however unlikely, what I said was a bit too "personally identifiable".

I need to play a few more turns in my Strategic Command: WWI grand campaign, and I'm hoping to also get in some more Rise of Prussia.  I'm playing as Prussia and I knocked Saxony out of the war and captured Prague before the winter of 1757-1758 closed down campaigning.  Unfortunately the Austrians are massing and the French, Swedes, and Russians are about to have a Prussian beating party unless I can drive quickly to take out the three other Austrian objective cities early in 1758.

I finally upgraded Scourge of War: Gettysburg to the latest version and loaded Chancellorsville, so I'm going to try a bit out that as well.  I stayed up way too late last night reminding myself how to command troops in that game engine.

Unfortunately, I'm also about to be involved in the two-front war known as A Visit from Your Mother combined with A Visit From Your In-Laws simultaneously.  This will culminate tomorrow night in the Battle of Having to Go to a Fancy Concert and Make Small Talk. Before and after I anticipate repeated Keep the Damn Dog From Jumping On My Mother-In-Law skirmishes. This may adversely impact gaming.

Thanks, now I don't feel so bad about that Spring Cleaning RTS game my wife wants me to play this weekend!

Ha.  That was my thoughts too.

Not really sure what I'm going to be playing this weekend. Skyrim, Distant Worlds, and Crusader Kings 2 are all possibilities.
PanzersEast: Have to think to myself.... will I play the first one by the Winter Sale?  Probably not, then I should remove Dragonfall
PanzersEast: but that is thinking too logically.... and Steam Sales are about ignoring Logic
