Bartimaeus Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 Oh hi. Sorry, I didn't see you there Since you're here already I just so happen to have an extra copy of Civ VI that I'd be willing to give you. Not for free mind you but in exchange for something else. I hope I'm not asking for too much but maybe I am, I dunno. Anyway, I'll give you this game if you agree to write up an in depth review of your first few days playing it. Just circle yes or no... or PM me Civilization games drive me crazy for the amount of cool stuff they do...but also for how they frustratingly miss out on even bothering to try to simulate other strategy and historical elements that I've come to expect after playing other turn-based strategy games like Total War and Europa Universalis. Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.
Oerwinde Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 Screw it, trying to write a decent in depth review is a small price to pay for a new Civ game. Sign me up if no one took it yet. 3 The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
melkathi Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 Screw it, trying to write a decent in depth review is a small price to pay for a new Civ game. Sign me up if no one took it yet. We want proper screenshots in the write up that illustrate the points made in the review or the sexist exploitation of women in the genre. 3 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).
kirottu Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 Anyway, I'll give you this game if you agree to write up an in depth review of your first few days playing it. Just circle yes or no... or PM me Writing reviews is the path to the dark side. 2 This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.

Oerwinde Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) Well, first impressions, disappointed in the lack of white male leaders. The Patriarchy is woefully underrepresented. I went with Frederick Barbarossa of the German Empire in order to maximize whiteness and Patriarchy. Loading screen and.... Sean effing Bean is the narrator?! As much as I liked Leonard Nimoy in Civ 4, this is even better. Ok, first order of business. I go into Graphics settings to try to change it to windowed full screen and all my graphics options are locked. So I exit to main and fix that so I can write this as I play. Load times when starting a new game or loading are awful. But its been that way since CivIV so I can deal with it. Start the game, freaking tundra, screw that heading north. Woah... I can't cross rivers, thats going to make things interesting... ok, now I can cross the river... I'm confused. So I found my capital of Aachen on some wheat after taking the roundabout way, my warriors are off exploring. One thing I miss about the square grid is using the number keys to move. I start building another warrior for defense and research animal husbandry to take advantage of the sheep and cows around my city. Looking at the map now, it appears that there are rocks in rivers indicating where you can cross. I actually like that. Met my first other civ, the English. I got a boost to researching Writing by meeting them. Thats kind of interesting. The civics mechanic is kinda cool too. The idea that it is separate from research is interesting, now I've built my first builder and am grabbing up the surrounding resources. Interesting that the first time you develop a resource you get bonuses to research. Developing my rice gave me a bonus to researching irrigation, and my cows gave a bonus to riding. Hrmm, I don't know if I like this... so improving tiles is instantaneous, but workers can only improve 3 times then they are used up and you have to build another. I am kinda terrible at this. Barbarian cavalry just looted one of my farms and I'm still stuck with warriors. Built the Hanging Gardens though. I like that it shows it being progressively constructed on the map. Its still early in the game and turns are taking forever. This was one of the problems I had with Civ 5 as well. It shouldn't take this long when each civ still only has one city. Vikings declared war on me right after conquering the nearest city state, so I'm moving on that. The river crossing mechanic makes war quite different. I have a chariot moving almost all the way to London to cross the river so he can come up around the back of Jakarta (the city state), since only one unit can get through the mountain pass at a time. Screenshots can be found here: http://steamcommunity.com/id/oerwinde/screenshots/?appid=289070 So far overall I like it more than Civ 5, but I still like Civ 4 better.

Hurlshort Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 It typically takes a full turn of moves to cross a river, I believe. So a scout can move 3 spaces across open terrain, two across rough, and only one across a river.
Oerwinde Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 Son of a... damned treacherous English. We were friends, had open borders, she liked my devotion to tech and that I was on the same continent as her, then she flooded my lands with units and declared a surprise attack.

The Japanese just did that to me. Thankfully I have a lot of city-state friends and they kept them busy while I mobilized an army.

Tale Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 That list is insane. 3 "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Tale Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 It's free to play in browsers. On Steam it costs a little and comes with some of their in-game cash to make up for it. 1 "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
sorophx Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) same with Westerado, I believe.someone will get lucky tonight, really good games on that list! Most titles are unfamiliar to me, though, I'll spend the next hour googling them, and considering my luck, the ones i'll like will have been taken already when I finally get around to requesting them from Shady Edited October 31, 2016 by sorophx Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland.

ShadySands Posted October 31, 2016 Author Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) I've made several edits already Instead of crossing them off I'm just removing them completely that you like Edited October 31, 2016 by ShadySands 1 Free games updated 3/4/21
Tale Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Apparently I still have Breath of Death VII and Cthulhu Saves the World to give away. There's just no interest here in cheesy no budget JRPGs. You guys need culture. Also Cogs. 1 "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
sorophx Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 I can't play breath of death vii without playing through the first 6 games Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland.

Oner Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 I don't believe you buy all these guys. I think you are some sort of charity bot from the future, spreading games before the great VG Crash wipes out the digital world. Or something. 2 Giveaway list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DgyQFpOJvyNASt8A12ipyV_iwpLXg_yltGG5mffvSwo/edit?usp=sharing What is glass but tortured sand?Never forget! '12.01.13.
sorophx Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 most of these are from "pay what you want" charity bundles. you get 6 to 10 games at the price of one. your post does have the word "charity" in it, so you're half correct 1 Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland.

ShadySands Posted October 31, 2016 Author Posted October 31, 2016 I get the monthly bundle but I rarely like the games in them but I rarely like most games these days. I'm getting old. I also get the other bundles if there is a game I like or a charity that I want to support I'll also occasionally buy games that are ridiculously cheap to give as gifts and the left overs I post here 1 Free games updated 3/4/21
