Maybe it's gassed.

I will be playing Medieval Total War/Viking Invasion (with the XL Mod), as I stumbled across a fix that -- miraculously -- seems to have eliminated the CTD problem that plagues this old game so often (especially on newer rigs).  I cannot possibly express my excitement enough.  :D 

Have started a new campaign as Aragon, with my immediate goals to add Navarre and Valencia to my domain.  After that, the question becomes which better serves the cause of Christendom:  Moving against the Almoravids and leaving my Catholic brethren in northern Iberia alone?  Or do I try and unite my fellow Catholics first (and hope I can so quickly enough before the Almos can take advantage of our infighting)?  Decisions, decisions...

It was down for me earlier, but it's working again now.

Most likely my free time this weekend will consist of playing Beyond Earth, World of Warcraft, Diablo 3, and perhaps Age of Wonders III. I probably will spend time finishing up reading Foundation and Empire as well.

Martok this is an out of left field question but is Wallachia playable in the XL mod?

Tried the demo for Beyond Earth and despite my initial skepticism I liked it.  Will I buy it though?  Most likely but I might just hold out for the holiday sale and see if I can pick it up at a lower pricepoint. 

Now do I spend the money on getting Mount and Blade Warband so I can play the 1776 mod for it? 

In the meantime I'll probably play War Thunder and continue to build up my Japanese research tree.  Then it will be a little bit of Shadow of Mordor and probably some Destiny.  Last but not least I might try to fit in some Advanced Tactics Gold.


Edit:  Forgot to mention that I want to pick up another copy of a dvd I have called "Gamera Legacy:  1965 - 1999" for my brother.

CK2 FTW!

I love this game.  I can honestly say that they got everything right in this one.  Yes, tactical battles ala M2TW would be nice, but since that's never been part of this type of game, it's hard to complain.

Sorry Gus, I'm afraid not.  In the XL mod, Wallachia is a province belonging to the Cumans, one of the two Pagan factions (Lithuania being the other).  Can I ask why you were inquiring?

He looks cute in a fur bikini and wants to be a pagan.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

The fur bikini goes under the denim?

^I look cute in everything. Don't hate me.

I've been looking for mods and standard games to play as the Wallachians against the Turks forever. None that I've found have been particularly engaging...Knights of Honor, a Civ V mod, an ancient M2TW mod, and an AoE II mod...none really scratched the fang.

Hmm...how about CKII as a Carpathian count? Is that possible?

Yup, it's possible.  If you start a game in the Late Middle Ages, you can play as the Duke of Wallachia or the Count of Severin, a province in Wallachia.
