Shogun 2: Total War
Hadn't really played this one much since the original release, aside from a co-op campaign with that guy who used to post here but got cucked by his lesbian roommate. Never been my favourite Total War - the time period is all right but there's a lack of roleplay and family/political intrigue management that makes it feel a bit shallow to me. Battles are too fast (but work well with the simplified sieges), and overall the campaigns are a bit too player-centric. Perhaps a good experience for new or casual players who just want to experience the challenge of a single campaign, but each playthrough becomes too "gamey" with features like Realm Divide and scripted wars, not to mention the ludicrous AI cheating (I believe this is the only Total War to not only give massive bonuses to AI factions, but even swap out their armies with higher tier troops when hidden in the fog of war). I think the positive response to the "balance" of the Shogun 2 campaign also reinforced some negative things about how CA approach campaign design in Total War titles.
The most common criticism of the original game is the lack of unit and faction diversity, but I don't think this tells the whole story. Fall of the Samurai improves on this point with the addition of new technologies like rail networks, naval bombardment and steam-powered warships, but the fundamental problem is that inter- and intra- factional relationships are so dull and superficial that every side involved lacks character. On the upside, the sound design, animations, visual flair and art direction are arguably the best in the series.
I mitigated some of the game's weaknesses with minor changes like Osprey-inspired visual mods and the excellent Strongholds of the Samurai, which replaces many settlement maps with their real-life historical versions (and unlike similar mods for titles like Warhammer, these custom maps generally work very well), plus the all the minor DLC that give some more unique units to the original clans plus slightly more specialized mechanics to the Hattori and Ikko-Ikki. I've seen the entire package go for less than 5-10 kwabucks in some sales, so whilst I'm not S2's biggest fan, it's probably the best introduction to the modern Total War series for new players.
Rise of the Samurai (Genpei War) - Mostly unmodified
Main campaign (Sengoku Jidai) - Modded
Fall of the Samurai (Meiji Restoration) - Modded

Cute. I need more.
I saw two options to get more copper from. One was a small patch relatively close to my factory. The other was larger but farther away and surrounded by lots of nests. I chose the latter. The base is getting attacked every 10 seconds or so. No problem.
In the meantime I was getting tired of solar panels and accumulators. So I went nucular. This is my modest setup with 2 reactors and lots of wires to control fuel cells, steam, and mood lights.
The lights turn green when the reactors are burning fuel cells. I didn't realize until now that steam can be stored in tanks indefinitely. Weird.
I should have researched nuclear power much earlier. Even 2 reactors produce more power than I'll ever need (to launch the rocket anyway).
While the rocket is being built, there is one more thing I wanted to do. Remember the copper mine that is constantly attacked?
I've made some alterations.
And clean-up.
The mine should be safe now.
I'm free!
Seriously, this game is insidious. Sometimes I load my game with the intention to just quickly do 2 or 3 things, and suddenly 5 hours have passed. Even now there is much more to do, to optimize, to research. But I've had enough. One reason for me to revisit this game would be the 8 hour challenge. Maybe next year.

A catgirl loli is something every RPG company needs:
Hidden second side of the island at last!
Plot touches on contemporary subjects like transsexuality:
Old-school architecture and fashion:
Silivia - putting major G into GILF:
United at last:
Standing on the corpses of our common enemies:
But even with Dana's addition to the party, the position of the onioniest butt in the game isn't threatened:
Alternate take:

Well ... shit. For the briefest moment I thought someone had made an awesome Arcanum mod.
