Well I certainly can't argue with that.  I've played various games myself for the same reason.  :)

On my to do list but I'll probably not get to this weekend:

IL2 Stalingrad
Dragon Age Inquisition
Wolfenstein (the new one that came out last year, can't remember the actual title)


On my to do list that I will play this weekend:

Mount & Blade Warband Gekokujo mod
AoWIII MP with MD and possibly Bob if I can get online at a convenient time for the U.K.    ;)
War Thunder (working on my Sparviero bombers in my German tech tree.  I also got a really cool quad 50 American half track that is a blast to play)

Nef - never tried any mods for Shogun 2 - the only TW I have not modded. I want to try to win au natural.

I have managed a win in both vanilla and using Darthmod. Both games were satisfying but I preferred the Darthmod experience.

I won my first campaign in vanilla Shogun 2 but it was down to the wire. 

It was an exciting game, but the Realm Divide and relatively short turn limit made it seem more like a race against time in the end.  So I began using an extra turn mod and another that reduces spreads the realm divide diplo penalties out over a longer period.  That being said, I can understand Gus wanting to beat vanilla first.

I picked up Warhammer Quest deluxe edition earlier this week.  It brings back fond memories of the tabletop game, although it's not terribly deep for a digital RPG and a bit pricey for a port IMO. 

I hope it will hold my interest for some very light Warhammer Fantasy fare until Mordheim gets the update(s) which add persistent character development & such (for something deeper).

Don't think I'd recommend digital Warhammer Quest to everyone.  Gotta like the IP and the boardgame mechanics.  I suppose it's a bit comparable to the recent Space Hulks.

But because of your post I checked out that Warhammer Quest game...looks a bit 'meh.'

In Armada 2526 Supernova, I've discovered another star system with an Irradiated planet -- a hellish world for most races in the game, but a veritable paradise for my Volmar.  Even more importantly, however, it's a Very Rich system; any colony established there will get major discounts to construction costs for structures and ships built there, plus hefty bonuses to both tax and mining income.  Oh, plus the system has an Oort Cloud, which allows the player to build a Comet Mine for extra income (if they've researched the requisite technology...which I have).  8) 


In Rome II: Wrath of Sparta (have I mentioned lately how much I really, really f-ing hate that name? >:( ), I've kicked off my Spartan campaign.  There's nothing quite like fielding Greece's best heavy infantry, plus simultaneously being allied with your arch-rival's two bitterest enemies.  Truly, I think Thebes and Corinth hate Athens even more than we do...  >:D
