OK, so now that 5-6 of you have taken the plunge on this, who's going to write the review for us?!

Crazed cultist girls?? Will the wonders never cease in this game?

Quickly put this on my wishlist after first seeing it had been released; will follow impressions on this thread with interest!
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

Played this for a bit tonight. Definitely some interesting ideas. But man, you REALLY need to keep track of every rating and piece of gear you've given to every person you have.

Also, combat is NASTY. Angry natives will mess you up in a hurry even if you're trying to use cover and the like.

Huw the Poo

This is also available for Linux and Mac.

At rpgwatch.com there are  links to 2 reviews. Both very positive( 4/5 & 4.5/5). Though the dreaded word "bugs" has appeared.

And it's now available at Steamworks. Same price.

I bought it and fiddled with the tutorials a bit last night but I was pretty tired and on my 3rd beer so concentrating on the info in the walls of text wasn't going well.

Well, there are a lot of bugs in the South/Meso-American jungles...

If somebody's able to conquer the whole Inca Empire with just 6 guys, I'm gonna be impressed. I like the cute little girls in the Conquestador helmets though.

I don't know if the reviewer likes the game or doesn't like the game or doesn't like himself for liking the game.
