Going to give the "Game of Thrones" mod for CK2 a try

I read that there were still some notable bugs with the latest version, last I looked.  Let us know how it goes!

No gaming for me this weekend.  Playing Driving to NC in an older vehicle with not-so-good AC

[Sir Slash]

Feeling retro so I fired-up M2TW and installed the Darthmod for it. Nothing like catapaulting dead cow carcasses onto castle defenders to take you back. The mod adds a few new tricks to make the game feel fresh and ups the challenge somewhat. And it's Darth's last mod which makes it of historical significance. And it's FREE. I  free.

Painting the map white as Carthage in Hannibal at the Gates for Rome 2. Then onto to either Valiant Hearts or the new Wolfenstein.

Some Rome II (the Getae get tough when the Getae get going), some WitpAE PBEM, Some boardgames (Hoplites, maybe some fighting wings in the form of Buffalo Wings meets Spirfires over Darwin...I played Achtung!  Spirfire! about 20 years ago, but I hear things are different now...its like, if you learned Great Battles of History over 20 years ago, then Simplified Great battles of History doesn't seem all that simple -- so I may make things simpler in my own way as usual).

Ogre Designer's Edition...it really is the porniest bit of wargamer porn ever invented.  The only thing that comes close is the wall map for World in Flames.

A whole lot of CMx2 PBEM.

Want to find an opponent for a Tiller Normandy '44 PBEM too...

Best,

I am not an expert Crusader Kings player so I may not see the bugs when I experience them... I may not know it's a bug. Do you know which major bugs they're talking about?

[Shelldrake]

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning....got earlier this week in the Steam sale....well worth the $4.99. Sort of like Two Worlds 1 meets Dragon Age Origin. Lots of RPG fun.

Base game not available anymore for $5 but the collection is $10 for the next hour. Is it worth it?

I don't really recall.  IIRC there were some crashes from specific situations.  It may well have been fixed by now, however. 

The East was recently added sometime in the past year (?) so the mod practically doubled in size.  I'm sure there have been some bugs to squash since then.  I was going to just play the last Andal-only version but I didn't see it for download at the time and figured I'd wait awhile until the new one was up to speed.

I have done some damage this year on the Steam sale..much more than ever before. On tap for this weekend:

Dominions 4, Gearcity, Dragon Age II, Ultimate General: Gettysburg.

Of these four, Dominions and Gearcity are the ones I will invest the most time in. I have a very strong need to top the 367K light trucks I made in the last game. I want to develop something the the VW Beetle..timeless in its design, and only upgraded over the years.

Can't comment on the collection, I only got the base game for $4.99 but now wish I had gotten the dlc's too. It's a lot of fun. It's not Skyrim(totally open world). It's somehwere between Two Worlds 1(single player) and Dragon Age Origin(spoken dialogue, good unfolding story).

[Huw the Poo]

As usual, I have all sorts of plans for what to play this weekend, but in reality there will be only...

Dota 2!

Oh, unless Yskonyn accepts my challenge in Frozen Synapse. :)

[undercovergeek]

Finished getting my Wizard to level 70 the other day, so this weekend I will probably spend some time working on my Demon Hunter in Diablo 3. I also jumped into Wildstar this week, so I will spend time with that. I would like to get back to my Distant Worlds game too. And also Age of Wonders 3, Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes, Eador, and Warlock. In the end I probably won't get much done beyond Diablo 3 and Wildstar and will spend the rest of the time reading American Gods, and Playing at the World.

[Toonces]

I do hope to get some Graviteam Tactics/Steel Armor in today.

I'm sure I'll also spend some time with my usual staples- Red Orchestra 2 and BMS Falcon...
