I have worked my A$$ off this week in miserable heat, so, this weekend will be all about recuperating. I do that best by playing games. There will be Civ IV mp. Along with some prep work for next week's D&D session.
• Working on my penultimate Churchill ep (setting up the major insanity of the final turn).
• Checking out the new Kursk turn-based strategy released on Steam yesterday.
• Messing around with the Kingdoms medieval village sandbox generator.
• Involving with several multi-player projects.
I might play some Civ VI. I fired it up the other day and I love the production values put into that game. Music score is fantastic.
Also, I want to see if I can complete my IAF Leader 1948 War of Independence Campaign

Jesus. And people bitch about my music choices? :DD
Empyrion galactic survival...I'm working on my first capital class ship that is nearly ready for sustained space flight. In real combat, she'd get torn to shreds, but I'm still proud of her.
A lot of VR gun and sword play too, I'm sure.

Just got back into E:GS a couple of days ago. Forgot how much fun the game is.
MD....great song choice. About time we got back to something good. :-"
Main goal for the weekend is to get turn 7 of DC1:Warsaw to Paris back to Jason. Good game so far.... pressure building on the Poles....
Other than that I need to get some table play time in for the haul I brought back from Origins. My wife is going out of town on Sunday morning for a week so there will be lots of gaming coming up. :D
Still in Scotland so I am playing their driving survival game.
Get home on Sunday and may play some Shadow of Mordor, Witcher 3 and/or Medieval 2 TW Crusades campaign before cracking open Dishonored 2.

More importantly, they let Jewish hobbits into the country?

Given what's there, it's bound to increase the overall IQ somewhat :2funny:
I was sent here by the Zion Hobbit Authority to keep watch over Bawb, UCG and JD. From a distance, of course.
Being really short in Scotland must be tough. With all the kilt-guys flouncing around I mean. Especially on windy days. :-"
There are some gigantic people here. Like 5'6". Seriously though I have seen a lot of dudes that have to be 6'7" or taller, and 'wide like bull.'
I have also seen a handful of dudes who are shorter than me. Yes they exist!

You making it from scratch or plans? I've only used plans, it a lot of damn work to make from scratch. I do the smaller vessels from scratch but not capital. Show some pic's when you get her up and running, inside and out. Every time you mention Empyrion i want to go play, too many good games. Subnautica is scratching my crafting/survival itch right now, so far fantastic.
Heading out for vacation Sunday morning, no internet for a week. I do have Cm Red Thunder and WITE pbem turns to do. We started Road to Leningrad with me as the Soviets after fighting to a draw in Kharkov 42. Never played the Soviets in WITE, a lot of housekeeping and running the first couple of turns so far. The detail in this game is staggering, have to figure out which things to pay attention too. Some Subnautica time willing, although 7 days to die released a new update so that's pulling me and i also want to get back to The darkest dungeon, another fantastic game.

Totally from scratch. I designed it on paper before I started and what I ended up with looks absolutely nothing like what I designed. LoL

I was about to comment that the UI has gotten a little busier, and not in a good way; until I realized in the last shot you're probably using a drone? (That's you standing on top of the ship, right?)
Then again, I thought your base was your ship and vice versa, so... :hide:
Also, I noticed a VR symbol next to the game tag in my friend list: is Empy on VR now??
On the gaming front probably some CiV and for some proper wargaming some Strategic Command and possibly Campaign Series Middle East.
On the latter I've installed the Ode to Arab Israeli Wars scenarios, would you recommend any other mods / graphic mods?
As to short Scots the best I've met have all been single malts :)

Yeah...I'm using the drone to take the pictures and that is my character standing on the ship in the last picture.
The base was a ship. It's the crashed engine compartment of a CV.
Nice Jarhead, all you have to do now decide on your paint job. Have you had a test flight yet? Looks like a lot of resources invested. I haven't had a chance to use the auto mining thing, Did you use that? Hopefully it lessens the resource grind. Every time you post I want to go fire up Empyrion.

World of Warships with the usual kru.
Tabletop Simulator Grogheads 40k bout. If the stars align properly, Nef will issue forth from the Eye Of Terror.
plus learning Nemo's War, and doing a first run, on the real tabletop.

Have not used the autominer yet although I do have one crafted. I've used mostly a T2 Drill.
I have flown it in the atmosphere and took her into orbit, but it was before I had installed a gravity generator. I have since expanded the rear mechanical compartment and added one. My biggest disappointment is that it has no warp drive. I had no idea how big those things were and my CV is way too small to equip one. Will have to wait for my next attempt.
Got my new Go board today. I hope to plunk some stones down this weekend. Oh and play some Rimworld.

Sweet looking game!
I went nuts last night, and picked up Gettysburg: The Tide Turns, Order of Battle and the Kriegsmarine & Winter War DLC, and since I'm having so much fun with Cold Waters...I also picked up Atlantic Fleet. So, I've got lots of news games to try this weekend! :bd:
That being said, I still plan on playing my usual Red Orchestra 2.

Campaign is going terrible!
Not surprising. Better get those planes off the board and in the air. \m/
Give us an update when you can.

Atlantic fleet is good fun, but playing the Brits watch out for subs on the first few turns in the campaign, They are usually set up for firing early on which can make ASW ops very tricky.

Thanks for the tip! I'll remember that.
