I reloaded Gettysburg last night. Boy it really stands out what an improvement  Waterloo is with regards to Graphics, GUI etc... I have no desire to play Gettysburg like that. Hope they upgrade it eventually.

Moreb as you play Witcher 3 you can will see more wilderness areas open up. The urban areas, like Novigrad, Oxenfurt, etc., really felt like realized cities to me too. Probably the best cities I have seen in any RPG.

That's good to know. I love the glossary in this game. I havent had any time to play since saturday night but I hope to get a couple hours in this evening. I need to fix a shimmering effect I have for some reason. I hope it has to do with the NvidiaHair settings.

^What kind of NVidia card do you have? Geralt's hair was highly touted when the game came out last year :)

Yes the glossary is great too, I have spent hours reading it.

I have put about 50 hours into Witcher 3 and I am at Lvl 19. According to GoG I still have 85% of the game yet to explore, including the DLC expansions. It's the kind of game I think about when I am not playing and even playing something else, and also how I am playing falls short when compared to Witcher 3. I just can't get enough of it.

EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW GAMING HYDRO COPPER 8 Gig

It is mostly on the edges of metal items.

Sigh. So was mine. Today? Not so much.

^You and me, we're the same.

You have a beastly card, it must just need some tweaking. I have a GTX970 and haven't had any issues at all, game looks insanely good.

Yeah, I'm going to have to do some research. But not tonight. I just want to play.

I think they may need to be calibrated. The one on the left looks a little slow. Should I ask about the key board? Probably not.

Somewhat to my surprise, I've ended up playing a fair bit of Master of Orion: CtS the last couple days.  Currently have a Meklar campaign going, and am enjoying myself quite a bit. 


Considerably less to my surprise, I also played a good bit of Medieval Total War/Viking Invasion this past weekend.  Inspired in part by my current reading of Bernard Cornwell's Saxon Chronicles, I started a few different games in the VI campaign before finally settling on the Kingdom of Northumbria. 

It's a faction I've rarely played, largely because it's supposed to be almost fiendishly difficult:  Your lands aren't particularly rich, you have wild, aggressive Scots & Picts to the north, an expansionist Mercia in the south (who, by the way, is wealthier than you), nearly all your lands touch the sea (which makes you vulnerable to raids by Vikings), and -- perhaps worst of all -- most of your provinces have an abbey (which makes it that much more likely the Vikings will attack, as the abbeys can be plundered).  Sounds like fun!  :D  Depending on how the first few years of this campaign go, I may turn it into an AAR.  Might as well trumpet my glorious failures for everyone to see...

Also played a campaing of Horizon...had some good expansion until the AI empires launched a full attack on my colonies...now i just have Earth left...lost. Keep on forgetting how bloody good the AI is in that game.

I played a bit of Horizon as well. I forgot how much I like it. I've even decided to try to finish off my Star Trek mod.
Please definitely let us know if you finish the mod, bbmike.  I'm still interested.  :)
