    Manor Lords - medieval city-building with large scale battles

    Watched some videos. Building layer looks alright I suppose, hard to tell if it's interesting without digging in yourself. Combat is just a bland total war clone system as far as I can tell. Overall the game looks ugly and depressing. I suppose that's mission accomplished for simulating medieval...

    Magic the Gathering Arena

    Anybody play the weekly event draft where all cards have no mana cost? Good shit. First game - opponent goes first. Spends 5 minutes masturbating drawing half their deck. By the end of it he chunked half my life, discarded my whole hand and had lethal onboard. 10/10 felt like playing against a...

    Trading: buy high - sell low! Which games did the trade runner mechanic best and hwy?

    The only good trading game I know of is Trade Empires. Unfortunately modern windows seems to hate it with a burning passion and I've been unable to make it run in a playable way for years. Anyway, the game is about building a trade empire in various historical scenarios from ancient Mesopotamia...

    While you can use a 2h melee with a sidearm, a 1h melee and pistol has the advantage of being available for reaction fire. Besides gals are so strong that a 1h axe or mace will oneshot almost anything, and even a sabre is enough for most.

    If I remember right the eagle is really heavy for a pistol and that can sometimes be a factor with certain loadouts and heavier armor, especially if you use it as a sidearm. Eventually the specialized custom weapons make for the best one-handers for assault gals (kustom handcannon line). But...

    Gobbos make good pilots. Not sure about research building prereqs but I doubt it will work across bases. You could make a save and just fast forward on max speed to check. Manor missions are hard. Might wanna wait on them until you have larger craft, more experienced gals and good small...

    Starsector - RT 2D indie space goodness

    Was gonna say Blackrock as usual, but Alex actually succeeded in finally killing it a couple patches back. RIP. Glad I stopped playing before that since I can't imagine the game without it. Frankly I'm amazed at some of the old warhorses that still bother to keep their shit updated, though...

    X-COM OpenXcom Thread

    If anything then Piratez defenses are even more cheezable. As I said just run some gals through the tunnels and chuck explosives and grenades into the hangers. I don't mind the tunnels. But the sewers are just shit. They take forever to trudge through to find anything. Also they're dumb as...

    X-COM OpenXcom Thread

    In base assaults enemies always spawn in the hangers and lift but can go up or down into the tunnels and sewers from there so you need to at least cover the tunnels. The tunnels are also great for approaching the hangers safely and chucking explosives down on them. The sewers are only there to...

    Dwarf Fortress now on Steam with a graphical overhaul

    The trick for high value rooms for nobles is to flood them with lava. Shuts them right up.

    It comes with the download. You just need to extract the zip, copy over the UFO folders and run the game. You got it from https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php?topic=4465.0 right? That's the official release.
