Rome II

[Gusington]

Empire is by far my least favorite. Shogun 2 - Fall of the Samurai and Medieval II are tops for me.

[Bison]

My favorites would be Rome and Medieval II.

[Gusington]

Rome - Barbarian Invasion may be my third favorite.

Rome was my favorite but Empire is up there. I just love the era. Finally had Rome 2 show up in my library so downloading that now.

The ship to ship combat in Empire is nothing short of amazing IMHO! The sounds of the water splashing, wood creaking, cannons firing. Just very atmospheric. And seeing the big warships duking it out never gets old.

Medieval 2 is my favorite, though.

But from what I've seen of R2 it might very well be the new 'emperor' of the bunch! The more cinematic approach is something I really dig!

[Gusington]

Yes! Rome II is looking to be quite the loin-moistener, as the kids say. No not those kids...those kids over there.

Same here.  the Third Age Mod would be my third favorite.

Those wacky kids! They say the darnedest things. My favorite is, "Shut-the-hell-up old man. Who's talking to you?" Anyway. I'm getting all my yardwork done this weekend so I can play the hell outta this one come Wed. I'm also having all the phones dis-connected and my windows blacked-out.

Tomorrow I have dedicated to family. Sunday to yard work. Monday's holiday to beer.

During the evenings I will play my new copy of Aliens: Colonial Marines and perhaps dip a toe into Ace Patrol.

Then...it's all Rome II for at least a month. And I don't who I was fooling but now that I've started reading up on the legions, my first faction will most likely be...the Romans.

I guess you have no choice if you start with the mini campaign. :)

I highly recommend you dig into Ace Patrol.  While I was originally wary of it for being 1) A tablet game, and 2) cartoonish, I've become a convert. 

It's game mechanics are very much like that of old tabletop air combat games.  The only problem I've had getting into it is the lack of documentation on game mechanic specifics, and a general lack of informative tooltips (it's an iPad port so no wonder).  I've figured out most of it by now, however. 

The various mixtures of maneuver choices, depending upon what the pilot has learned as he/she gains experience, and the extra maneuvers and restricted ones for every specific aircraft type add some varying styles.  It'll have you thinking a turn or two ahead due to how some maneuvers rely on the results (plane orientation) of others.

Two Left Thumbs Up!   It should keep you until Tuesday (or Wednesday if someone messes up the TW launch  :P )

Seriously! I'm mystified at all these people playing ROME: Total War II and picking Athens, Sparta, Ptolemies, etc. Guys, they didn't name it LOSERS: Total War!  ;D
