I think it is still a straight dungeon crawl. It has some nice puzzles to solve and the odd hidden area and treasure, but you still basically just try to get to wherever it is the game wants you to go. At least it gives the impression of more openess.

It does not just have ANY rat people. It has THE rat person.

The Tractor Squad beat the first challenge! It was a tough fight and the four farmers ran like hell. They crowded into the tiny cave just off the testing grounds. The guardians tried to follow, but did not fit. They lunged at the farmers through the entrance and it was all that Plowcow with his bone club and Pasturat with his dagger could do from getting dragged out. Fieldsnake threw knives and darts at the monsters and then, when the healing potions ran out, alongside Barnbeetle pushed to the front to give the other two a moment to catch their breath. Thinking victory was in their pocket, Plowcow dashed forwad again, mooing a battlecry. The guardian easily evaded the charge and darted in under the minotaur's defenses. Plowcow went down. Then Barnbeetle hit the monster with a branch, splattering its innards across the rock wall. Bruised and bleeding from bites, the three farmers dragged their unconcious friend to the healing crystal.

Founded the Tractor Squad in Legend of Grimrock 2: Fieldsnake, a lizardman farmer Plowcow, a minotaur farmer Barnbeetle, an insectoid farmer Pasturat, a ratling .... farmer No combat XP for this team. They only level by eating.

Because you never listen to us? We were talking about how awesome it is on both forums that we have in common

Nah, it's more like a Shinji Mikami salad. I'm too scared to google that.

Sounds as one would expect from a Bethesda game. All it needs now are bugs that will never be fixed by the devs but that the modding community over at Nexus will take care off. And a body replacer, nude mod over at Nexus. Then it is a true Bethesda game

That is currently going very cheap on GOG...

VI was amazing. VII was to me the last good one. Then again, after VIII was ported to PC without a Quit option, I can't say I truly bothered with the series again

I really wanted to play some Final Fantasy game and XIII seemed like a good choice. Then I read Drudanae's post about the download and checked the install size in teh system requirements. Decided against buying it. I don't knowingly buy games with such a huge install - more often than not the size isn't justified.

Endless Legend "post launch plan" posted on the dev blog: http://forums.amplitude-studios.com/content.php?489-Endless-Legend-Post-Launch-Plan tl;dr: Big patch in-comming, then modding support, then free dlc.

Pre-Alpha available to those with the appropriate pledge tiers. (I think Transistor and above) Awesome!

Exactly. They even made the stretch goal to get the same composer back, so it truly feels like syndicate wars. Since I started playing around with this I have two sentences stuck in my mind, even though they haven't been said in Satellite Reign: "Move along. Keep moving."

I must have been watching the thread creation in slow motion then or bullet time, or how the young people call it these days

What took you so long? I was this close to making a thread myself Just couldn't come up with a name...

Please consider while viewing following screenshots that these are from a Pre-Alpha Build

Satellite Reign pre-alpha. Already a lot of fun.

That's the one Basically a rock, paper, scissor thing with more than rocks, papers and scissors. And obviously those choices not saving you if you only have a colony ship and the other person has a huge fleet

Yup they added that to Endless Legend because the game was unplayable before. We still need it in Dungeon of the Endless

The tooltips aare something they ahd already done right in Endless Space. The UI can be a bit too sleek for some - fonts can be rather tiny My first faction seems to always be the Dwarves. The increased dust income is nice. If you want more minor factions you need to play Cultists.

41gigs? Seems some dev team never figured out compression.

Age of Wonders 3 was a mess at release. The AI was so terrible it defined new ground of terrible AIness. The patches and expansion since have improved the game a lot, but I haven't been able to bring myself to truly give the AI another chance.

People don't seem to be happy with what they got

I like the concept of Sorcerer King - being the small village of gauls resisting the roman legions.

Started a game of Long War. It deffinitly improves on the vanilla experience.
