I just finished HotU with my level 26 Wizard. That was one though fight.

DEFCON(Oh God what an awesome game!)
Dark Crusade

You mean that a grand total of two people are playing it right now? [img]tongue.gif[/img]
How is Dark Crusade? I heard they pretty much took out the storyline..

Bozos of Bones 12-17-2006 06:14 PM

You know me, right? And you know how mad and crazily in love I am with StarCraft. Well, Dark Crusade is the first game I've ever played that has me wondering wether or not it is actually better than StarCraft. Nothing else came remotely close. Dark Crusade is that good.
As for the storyline, you aren't lead down one any more. Instead, you pick a race, and proceed in claiming the whole planet, capturing territories from other races. As you go about your way of genocide, xenocide or whateverocide and preach the holy Greater Good, Name of the Emperor, word of Waaagh or whatever you do, you uncover bits and pieces of the storyline and history of the world, the planet and the races involved, as well as some rather awesome plot twists and points of interest.
Play Dark Crusade. I place it within top 5 games released in 2006(the other four being GW: Factions, GW: Nightfall, GalCiv2 and DEFCON, in no particular order). That's got to account for something.

Sounds interesting, although I'll have the buy the first expansion first. [img]smile.gif[/img] At the moment, GalCiv2 is on top of my list. Can you tell me how good the A.I. is?

Bozos of Bones 12-17-2006 07:06 PM

The AI is... weird. Sometimes when I play team compstomps with my friends we get trashed so badly and go "Holy Crap! That was on STANDARD!?", but other times they're really predictable and easily controlled. Luckily, there is a thing called Skirmish AI, a mod. Haven't played with it, but it's supposed to make the AI much more dangerous.

Sounds great, Bozos. :D By the way, by 'teamcompstomps, are you referring to multiplayer or do you and your friends play as a single team? Multiplayer was the one thing I missed in the original. What options do you have? LAN, single computer, internet..?

When I'm not playing WoW (very rare) I have decided to re-visit Master of Orion 2 :D

Bozos of Bones 12-17-2006 07:50 PM

What do you mean you missed multiplayer in the original? DoW has always had great multiplayer.
By "team compstomps" I mean me and a few of my buddies in one team vs a team of computers. I play over Hamachi.

Now that I have the work-around, I'm playing NWN2.

Actually, I was referring to GalCiv2. [img]tongue.gif[/img] My bad.
