If you want to destroy my FRIDAY

[Toonces]

Your lack of gaming disturbs me Bison.

Continuing on with Assassin's Creed Syndicate...really enjoying it, may be my favorite of the entire series. I also want to play some Ultimate General Gettysburg and maybe even some Shogun 2 Fall of the Samurai.

Of course, the shininess of Attila TW Charlemagne beckons, but I am not ready for it yet.

Man, I'm just not feelin' the luv on Verdun like I was the first few matches.

I can't seem to figure out how to create my own squad, and then have that squad populate a decent part of the battlefield.  Also, squads are only 4 people and there seems to be a persistence to them, in that your perks are earned within the same squad only.

I feel like I'm fighting the game a lot.  I gave up on it after a half hour tonight of trying to figure out how to be just a plain rifle guy, and went to Rising Storm instead.  RS has a much more intuitive system; I kind of wish Verdun would stop trying to be clever and just get on board. 

As it is, it's not  a bad game, but it is not intuitive to make it do what I want, which is to make a Grogheads squad that can play on a very populated server.

What happened to Verdun?  Are we already quitting on this?

No, no. We're going over the top this Sunday.

Edited for too many quotes within quotes.

No, Tuna.  It was Gamespy. 

No chance on Civ V Barth.  You can prolly get it cheap in the Steam Winter sale.

jamus, think I made a big mistake.  Are you Floppy Donkey so on?

Yeah that's me...Probably should change that since most people don't get the reference anymore.

Ok it's the same as my forum name now.

[Anguille]

I may play one of the followings:

- Civ V
- Grand Ages: Rome
- Sins of a Solar Empire

Not sure yet.

I don't think there's much question that my gaming time this weekend will be dominated by Attila TW: Charlemagne.  I will forge the Kingdom of England a century before that pantywaist Alfred did.  8) 

Any time left over will be spent on either Cities: Skylines and/or beta-testing.

Couldn't find a Verdun thread, so am hijacking this.  I have a problem with this game in that I cannot remap the controls to my accustomed FPS layout because it picks up my various controllers instead of the keyboard.  Anyone know a work-around (I don't want to unplug stick/pedals/throttle just to play this)?

[Silent Disapproval Robot]

I had the same issue.  I dialed mouse sensitivity down to zero, rebooted the PC, and I was able to remap the keys without the game picking up my HOTAS.  (Then I sat there confused for a good 30 seconds when I started playing because moving the mouse wouldn't change the POV.  I R smrt!)

[Gusington]

I have a problem with Verdun in that I suck at it. Forgot to include it in the above post for Sunday, as IronX posted.

Martok post impressions of Charlemagne!

Rise of Flight
IL-2 1946
Just purchased Airport Madness: World Edition and having a blast with this little game. Very addictive.

Civil War II: The New Mexico Campaign--- fighting Confederate Partisans and Irregular Indians while trying to build a decent supply line from Colorado or California. Once I get it up and running, maybe we can get some fiber to those Indians so they'll settle down. El Paso seems as far away as China right now though.

I'm holding the line solidly around the Washington D.C. area as well as Ohio and Kentucky.  I am however getting absolutely smashed to pieces in New Mexico and Missouri.  Can't seem to get enough troops out there to stop the Rebs while they've got two 1000+ power stacks roaming around out there.  I hear you though on running the war out there.

Man I love this game!

THx - will give that a go

[Sir Slash]

Damn, W8taminute. That's a lot of rebs to deal with. I got no problem in my game getting troops. There's more than I need in Colorado and California. I just can't get them to New Mexico where I need them without them dying of hunger and thirst. And I totally never expected the damned Indians to be a problem. You're right though, great game.

So, my ongoing Civ mp with West is 450 turns or so in.  I've been angling for a Cultural Victory all game long.  I am 2 turns from completing everything I need to meet the Victory Condition.  However, my opponent has taken it upon himself to go to war with China, Korea and the Holy Roman Empire.  To his credit, he's holding his own and even advancing. 

The problem is, his turn times are 10+ minutes long!  And I don't dare tell him that I am 2 turns away from winning because I want to surprise him.  So, I have to suffer through all this crap in silence!  What's worse, we were just playing and he tells me his GF is on her way.  And wouldn't you know it, he had to go.  TWO TURNS!!  LET'S GO MAN!!!!!

Thank you for laughing at my pain :P  Yours is coming, too, the longer you play with us. ;)

got my ass kicked in BFBC2 - the age of the game and the nature of the players means most servers are mainly populated by Rank 50 guys in teams that own everything, you know the kind, hand grenade you from god knows where, shoot you before you can get a shot off, appear from the corner of your eye with a knife - and whole teams of them, changed server and had a better game but this server was just a pile of people throwing grenades and firing 40mm grenades, resupplying themselves and doing it all over again    still, its fun when as a new guy you sneak round the back and shoot them in the head and they get angry

after that got the EUIV bug, played a fair while into my original England game but was just going through the motions, not really enjoying it - started again, and decided to roleplay the country as if i was leader, taking the national decisions that seem right with me as opposed to playing the game and picking the most beneficial to the nation, gives me a closer tie to the land and the armies. Won the war of the roses and sat my own leader on the crown - Phillip 1 of York, have a decent heir, vassalised Leinster and took Ulster, i have claims on Scotland but they are guaranteed by France, so i need the big blue fellas to get tied up with a big land war with Burgundy and then ill get Scotland. Best friends with Castille, Austria and Portugal so my ass is covered in any incoming war - loving the game again, renamed the armies so they feel like mine and its a proper gut wrench to send them into battle

Some Mordheim before bed with the Grog crew, i have two games - the original one in the AAR based on the Warhammer Regiments of Renown, the Swords of Ulric, and i have also recreated the Fireloques of Farsland where everyone is armed with a gun - which sounds like a riot but ill carry on the Ulric one for now
