  1. Jowood/1C games

    Silent Storm & Silent Storm Sentinels are on the same level as JA2 as far as I'm concerned. If you could mix the depth and AI of JA2 with the engine of Silent Storm (destructible objects, better interface) you'd have the ultimate turn-based squad game. Hammer & Sickle is lacking somehow in...

  2. PG3 - Let's take all their potato!

    That's quite the attrition rate :( Respect to the fallen :salute: In some aspects it seems like a modern battle, with the way air power raped our troops when given the chance. Did the Nashorn perform well with range 2 shelling of bunkers ? I always used 88's for that role in previous...

  3. PG3 - Let's take all their potato!

    Hope to make some kills this time around or get some bonus of whatever kind although that seems nigh impossible with the support role that artillery has. I'm curious what the Brummbar will do. This "monster" was designed for heavy street fighting after the experiences of Stalingrad. It seems...

  4. Frayed Knights: The Skull of S'makh-Daon: A Playthrough

    You seem to have a habit of letting your characters, especially Chloe, run out of endurance points. That will prevent your team from actually being able to act and will cause them to get hit more often. Make sure to rest your characters in battles (reminds me of Wizardry 7 really) if possible...

  5. PG3 - Let's take all their potato!

    Is there any decent mobile artillery available by now, like the Wespe ? Otherwise draft me for AT duty. A Marder would be fine. Would like the much underrated Nashorn in the future though.

  6. Let's Dance with Rogues - 47 - Divided We Stand (Finished)

    I actually managed to take out the general and his cronies without traps or explosives (after a number of reloads). First pickpocket the general and his men to rob them from their weapons and potions. Next "unlock" the torture device to free the captive. The general and his men will attack...

  7. Review Academagia - The Making of Mages Review

    I obtained the game through Impulse where it was recently one of the weekend offers (50% off or so). The game doesn't get everything right I guess, but to me it's a nice and enjoyable time sink. With the adventures I did not really encounter much bugs ?! The one problem I had, is that the...

  8. Drakensang: River of Time is actually A GOOD GAME?

    I couldn't agree more. It's just a pity, there's only a very limited amount of NPC's to recruit and use in your party. That's about the only thing that was better in Drakensang 1 though. It's rare to see a developer clearly taking criticism to heart and producing a sequel that improves on the...

  9. Dr Who and the City of the Daleks

    Actually I think the redhead is one of the best companions ever, better even than Rose (Billie Piper). Still River Song outshines her though, a pity she only appears in a few episodes.

  10. Review Drakensang RoT Review

    Rats are actually very rare, there is one minor side quest which has a load of them though. Some enemies will consistently go after your Archer and/or Mage, especially when they are the first to hit the enemy (realism FTW) but most of the time you'll be able to keep them at a distance from...

  11. Let's play UFO: Enemy Unknown - Update #25: It's on!

    Not too bad for a night mission. I always have my soldiers carry loads of light grenades and throw them around like mad even on day missions. This is very good for quickly improving strength, throwing skills, stamina and time units even if they don't actually kill aliens.

  12. Let's play Fantasy General!

    I played Fantasy General a long time ago and decided to fire it up again using DosBox, seeing this thread. What strikes me now is how the enemy typically throws everything it has against you in the first few turns. After a few tense turns, the enemy resistance is usually broken and then you need...

  13. Let's get horribly raped in TFTD! Orgasm now running things!

    You haven't purchased a load of gas cannons at the start to replace those pea shooters ? Like X-Com 1's auto cannon they're not very accurate but with HE ammo that's not relevant. Earlier on in the thread I saw some of the Codexians recommend using grenades. I'm curious to see how that works...

  14. Let's get horribly raped in TFTD! Orgasm now running things!

    Capturing specific Aliens gives you lots of tech but it should take quite some time before that research is completed, so it makes sense in a way and isn't cheating. I always take along Stun Rods (X-COM 1), especially on terror missions and when attacking large alien craft because of the...

  15. Let's get horribly raped in TFTD! Orgasm now running things!

    The 50's future retro style from Apocalypse is really hit-or-miss. The general atmosphere and feel is quite allright though. By implementing both real-time and turn-based, they managed to cripple both mechanisms. It's in the details it really fails, for instance the balance is totally skewed...
