Oo, I got my best results while I was on sarms and never played Settlers II the 'first time round' as it were, but it does look good from a quick google.

Also, welcome to the forum, Kinnison :)

I agree. Pharaoh was amazing. GOG is a godsend for old school gamers. I picked up so many games I played back in the day on GOG it's not even funny. Next thing I'm going to play that I bought on there is Settlers II.

I bought Warhammer Total War. First real attempt at playing a more recent TW game than Med2.

Played as the High Elves and wiped the map pretty easily. Played the Wood Elves and can't seem to build any momentum. The Amber resource mechanic is a piece of armadillo. It has been enjoyable, and I have particularly liked how unique every faction feels. Not so keen on how it is assumed that Finubar, Louen Leoncouer and Karl Franz have to 'reconquista' Ulthuan, Bretonnia and the Empire respectively, but I understand it is a game-balance thing.

On another note, Ladyhawk and I bought both of the new Assassin's Creed games. I am particularly enjoying Origins at the moment, while Ladyhawk has skipped it and gone straight to Odyssey, I think due to being able to play as Kassandra right from the off.

They're beautiful games. The attention to detail is fantastic.

I still keep feeling I should get TW:WH. I really can't justify the time I'd need to spend on it to in turn justify the purchase though, especially with Mountain Leopards, The Exile Princes, my book, and running this forum all crying out for more time spent on them. :(

That's fair man. It is a big time sink. I've been trying to juggle full-time work, TW, AC, writing up my huge backlog of Norbayne sessions and trying to finalise the rules. Its not easy. :p

Had a look at the first page of this thread and found some mentions of Lionheart. Haven't played it in years but by God it is a gem of a game.

I got it for free in a bundle with the old War of the Ring RTS, which also had its moments. I definitely ended up spending far more time on Lionheart in the end.
