    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...

    Quick Battle in the main menu. You can select any craft and mission.

    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.

    X-COM OpenXcom Thread

    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.

    X-COM OpenXcom Thread

    Double check that you put it in the right folder (UFO folder in the root folder). Make sure you're using the bundled OXCE that comes with the mod and not a random version. If it still fails look at the error message and/or the stderr.txt file. Ask for help on the official forum, the devs and...

    X-COM OpenXcom Thread

    40K is good. Piratez is a masterpiece. Both were widely discussed in this thread before, search the thread to read some impressions.
