Going to finish my current campaign in
Civilization VI (With Korea)...aiming for a space victory.
May check the tutorial of
Imperator Rome which i just bought on GOG (winter sale).
Rest is still open.
Awesome song choice... :notworthy: Hoping to spend more time with Field of Glory Empires.
I agree on the song choice! :bd:
FoG Empires MP game will trot along as well as our Civ 6 game. I am also busy with Mechwarrior 5 and Conan Exiles.
On PS4 I have restarted Read Dead Redemption 2 after ignoring it for quite a while and I need a refresher on the events. This time I have every intention of playing regularly. Also I've been working on getting out of the base game area and into Iceborne in Monster Hunter World.
Then there is Tabletop BattleTech and a DnD 5th Edition campaign I am hosting. But nothing much will be done this weekend apart from drawing some maps and working on a few story items.

Hmmm...FOG sounds good. What's odd for me is that playing Unity of Command II made me think "What about regimental scale and half-day turns?" and now I'm playing Operational Art of War IV -- a very mixed bag of lots of scenarios -- but PBEM and smaller battles and shutting off the battle details makes it an okay game mostly.
So that and maybe some Post Scriptum and DCS.
I love how the director is up there singing along with them! -- don't usually see that. O0
BoC work and Civil War 2 AAR. Still puzzling over how to do a decent AAR in CMO. I don't really want to do video, but sometimes video snippets work best in that game
I also agree with the music choice!
Continuing with Kingdom Come: Deliverance, and Ancestors Legacy - have finally progressed far enough in the intro campaign and unlocked the other campaigns - Slavs, Teutonic Knights, Saladin, etc.
A game of Age of Empires II always threatens and looking to dabble a bit in Kingdoms and Castles too.
^what are your thoughts on Ancestors Legacy?
Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt
Possibles:
Field of Glory Empires
Field of Glory II - maybe a king of the hill battle is in order.
but I dunno really. :-\
Ancestors Legacy is interesting enough to keep me coming back and the factions portrayed are a little different than what we usually get in games like this...having a Slav and Teutonic campaign is what sold me. Graphics are solid and the game runs well.
That said, the voice acting is a little amateurish and cliched, and I am starting to see that each mission in the campaign chain is pretty similar: seize this, built that, kill them. I have not set up a skirmish game yet.
For those that enjoy medieval history and warfare it will be a worthwhile game. It's not really groundbreaking in what I've played so far, but it is worth the roughly 15.00 I paid for it. And I liked the base game enough to get the Saladin DLC for 4.00.
So if the idea of a medieval Company of Heroes gets your loins moist, Ancestors Legacy will too.
Stellar Monarch and Dominions 5. I hope to find time to try the patched version of TW Warhammer II.
The Wife's Christmas Party Saturday night, free food and drinks, so I'll be playing the Hangover Game come Sunday. :clap:
Solops -- Please let us (well, me anyway) know your opinion of the new DLC for Stellar Monarch.
^^ Same. I want to get into the game, but for some reason the few times I've loaded it up, I bounced off it. No idea why.
PBEM turns, FOG2 as the Arabs, BA playing a WW1 scenario as the Germans, and Brother vs Brother i'm the Union. I'll probably keep playing SCWW1 and find a game i can shoot stuff in, maybe Killing Floor 2 with the holiday theme or jump back into Doom 2016, although the newest Doom isn't really grabbing me but i feel compelled to finish it and i'm halfway through. I was going to start Warplan again but looks like the patch isn't coming out before next week, dang it.
I was taking a stab through XCOM:Long War again, and realized today that I've probably completely screwed over my progression by selling off sectoids a little too soon, before using them for critical plot research -- that I can't do now and maybe never will be able to do! #:-)
When I got swarmed by no less than 12 Chryssalids, PLUS upgraded Thin Man support, in one mission, I used that as an excuse to give up and plan a restart. ::)
(In the mod's defense, I'm playing on Dynamic War which shortens the overall mission-plot structure by a fair amount, thus explaining why I'm past the missions with Sectoids a little too soon.)

Having not played in a year I had to re-learn it. The first two turns took a long time. Then things speeded up faster and faster. Sometimes, with plans are in place I may spend as little as 30 seconds on a turn. Then, ops get complicated and it can take a bit to sort things out. And periodically, you have to sort through a lot of the info to make sure things are working properly. When I have my personnel and budget sorted properly, I generally just check Industry to monitor food and electricity production, flash by R&D and then move fleets. A periodic check of fleet composition after battles or when a new ship type becomes available is often in order. The patches and new DLC make the game seem more..."complete". There are more aliens to deal with diplomatically and the new R&D is more fun. The map is more colorful with more factions :) . I am trying my first game with random and hidden techs. It adds variety. The new megastructure and satellite system is still mostly an unknown.
The game can seem overwhelming at first because there are so many information tabs. What I found was that most of it gets looked at rarely. Once you know what is where and what matters, the game is vastly simplified. The long time mentioned above on the first two turns was re-familiarization with the game. Now I can set up and roll quickly. I waste a lot of time on many turns looking at the R&D page, wishing I had this or that tech. I think of it as the "Are we there yet?" syndrome.
Appreciate the input solops. I picked up the game on sale and I'm diggin it so far. How much do you manage your fleets yourself? Do you mostly set them to autonomous?
PBEM files and play testing for the WDS group on some JTS titles. Five more days and then I'm off for twelve days so the serious gaming starts then.
I like to manage my fleets myself, no AutoAdmirals.
