A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.
- Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian


If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

Thanks for the videos. Have this on my wishlist and am leaning towards a purchase. The Steam Summer starts today so hopefully there is a discount on FOG2 of at least 50%

FoG2: Complete is indeed 47% off on Steam right now: or 50% for the main game, and 30 to 20% off on the DLC.

Not sure I could be more excited for this release. Really appreciate the sneak peaks we have gotten from the front page here at Grogheads. Thursday can't come soon enough!

This is simply the type of game I have been waiting 30 years for.

My Steam hours are going to be frightening to see. :hide:

Anyone privy to what the price is going to be? I am going to wager its 39.99.

FlickJax

Would like to know that too :)

Just curious, what do you think this game has that other games haven't had in the last 30 years?  What specifically is this going game going to do that is so much better than others?  I am genuinely interested to understand what this strategic game will have that other's haven't.  Saw this review posted in the last couple of days...seemed generally liked.

It's good to see all hype and excitement for this game is high and I am looking forward to it myself, but I am being a little more cautious and trying to limit my expectations to it hopefully just being a fun good game they build on over time.  Just a little concerned people might be expecting too much from this game but I hope I am wrong in the end and turns out to be the game of the century:)

As for price speculation, I suspect it to be in the $39-$49 range...believe some of Ageod's recent titles started out at $39 so hard to believe it will be less than that.  Just hoping it doesn't come out as one of their "premium" titles where it costs $70-$80...truly don't expect this but who knows.

With all that said, absolutely plan to buy tomorrow unless it turns out to be some insane "premium" price:)

I really have no idea what the price will be. Bit the potential here for expansions is pretty much infinite. Empires is really deep when it comes to numbers and systems and the myriad effects they have on your civilization. For numbers lovers, that could be enough...never mind the huge amount of factions, military units, cultures, and history. This game is big, in many ways.
