Musopticon? Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 TLJ is in my top five alltimers. Rather awesome. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today.

Moatilliatta Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 It's in the top five of everyone that doesn't suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidesco Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 The only problems with TLJ are the gameplay and the later parts of the narrative. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian touristI am Dan Quayle of the Romans.I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands.Heja Sverige!!Everyone should cuffawkle more.The wrench is your friend.

Moatilliatta Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Later parts of the narrative? Some of the best parts are late in the game and some of the really bad stuff is quite early (Fiona and her six hour conversation for example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosbjerg Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Ahh I love that game.. Got me through high school.. It was one of the reasons why I trusted Funcom to make a good MMO - alas they didn't bring the same quality to AoC. Fortune favors the bald.

It was one of the reasons why I trusted Funcom to make a good MMO - alas they didn't bring the same quality to AoC. After reading a bit of Conan, I think Funcom did a very solid job of bringing that world to life. I also thought the first twenty levels was a well told story. I just lost interest when I hit the wider world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rostere Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I love strategy games, and one of my favourites is this game. "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samm Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) Rostere: what game are those screenshots from? This is Psychonauts, the Milkman level, which was partially frustrating unfortunately...

Gorth Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 @SammThat's Europa Universalis 3 that Rostere posted a screenshot from.

Rostere Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Don't be silly Gorth, it has always been a good game. Honestly, vanilla EU3 needed the addition of the "Autosend Merchants" option in Napoleon's Ambition badly. "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"

Moatilliatta Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Why would you want the game to play itself for you? Sending merchants is a large strategical part of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, vanilla EU3 needed the addition of the "Autosend Merchants" option in Napoleon's Ambition badly. Either that or leave it out completely. The mechanism was not suited for a more than a few markets at best. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Moatilliatta Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 While the system IS flawed (which system isn't), I liked sending merchants and making the strategical choices that it involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorth Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 While the system IS flawed (which system isn't), I liked sending merchants and making the strategical choices that it involved. And what in the new system prevents you from using strategy in distributing your merchants? “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Moatilliatta Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) Ehh... weren't we talking about autosend merchants? I guess it doesn't prevent me from anything, I just find it to be very strange to ask the game to play itself for you. Edit: I also have much hatred for the auto-distribute skill points in RPGs.

You still had to chose your markets though, by assigning them priorities. When I compete on 20+ markets, you bet I don't pause the game all the time to check if they are all filled up according to my desires. I notice when competing constantly fail in a place, because the number of merchants is constantly low or even dimishing despite me sending merchants there. Then I go check the market to see what has changed and what I am up against. Usually a foreign market where the controller has gained monopoly (and your compete chance is 1% against the monopoly holder). You can then either give it lower priority (make sure your merchants get sent to more profitable areas) or drop it completely from your list of destinations... or conquer the territory and make it domestic market Ok, now I almost owe a screenshot. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Moatilliatta Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Ok, now I almost owe a screenshot. In this thread? You gotta be kidding. Anyway I guess they have changed it since EU2 (I don't actually have the expansions, shhh it's a secret). I'd still argue that it's a useless loss of control since they now have that little-helper thing up in the corner that tells you exactly how many merchants you have in the different COTs and there are popups warning you when you loose one. I took a few XCOM screenies that I should get around to posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
