My favorite game of all time. Haven't played in a while, so I booted it up the other day. Looked up and it was 4 am.

I was very much into it in the old days, part of the Scenario league, helped create a lot of stuff for that.

Stayin alive is half the battle.

Invest in more powerful spells and don't fight archers with claymores.

I'm going to start again, what class and stuff is the best? Knight, mage, what?????????????? LOL

You don't have to start over, just fight smarter.

For example, archers are weak little snits, raise your shield (the right mouse button) and run right at them, when you get close they pull a weak knife and stop shooting arrows. They are dead vs a good sword at that point.

I don't have a shield!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Xenophon]

You can get a shield easily, most highway men have one, if you kill one, pick up his shild.

There is an easy place to find a bandit, from Chorrol, take the black road east, before long you will see a fort on the road, there is a Bandit hiding on the left just before you enter, he's a Kajit, three shots of your flame will kill him.

I've got a folder full of 'em. Any particular ones you worked on?

 

[Xenophon]

All the ones Bebro worked on, some of the Kobayashis, some from Steven Hartnel.

A lot of Jaybee's stuff from the Spanish civilization site also.

Oh, and explore the guild halls, all of them have weapons you can pick up and sell if you like.

The Fighter's guild in Chorrol has really expensive long swords there for the taking.

Great way to fast money and better stuff.

A friend turned me on to Oblivion and while I like the game, I'm having a hard time trying to stay alive. *laugh*

Sitting under the tree waiting for me is "Dragon Age" Reviews are hot for this game so I cannot wait to check it out Christmas day.

Dragon Age is an amazing game. I just finished it on Wednesday. Great story, very open-ended in terms of gameplay, and the battle system is pretty fun. It will take some getting used to, though.

They are coming out with a HoI III very soon.

You can spend a lot of hours on that, and it's older cousin 'Victoria' (same kind of game, about 19th century, in fact, you can export the save and play from 1836 through 1964).

Just bought it....Might not sleep for for or five days now.

Update....Game won't run without Pixel Shader 2.0.....SHIT!

They say III is not as good as 2 was.

I'm doing a massive game right now, started as Prussia in 1836 in Victoria, and now in HoI 2 Armageddon as germany in 1942, Russia and China are no more, and Germany had a huge Navy with 10 CVs and 52 Battleships posed to take on the RN and USN.

 

[Oddball]

Yeah, well I guess I'll check out the recycled computer game stores for that one.

 

[Xenophon]

You can get them both for 20 bucks each from Gamer's gate.

Be sure to get Victoria REVOLUTIONS which is the improved Victoria that plays 100% better then the original.

I think you would like that better anyway, trying to create Italy and beat the French to Africa is a lot more fun anyway.

What game are you guys talking about?

 

[Xenophon]

What game are you guys talking about?

Victoria revolutions where you can play any country on earth from 1836 through 1935..

And Hearts of Iron 2 armageddon which allows for using your complete game save from VR or you can play the historical settings as any nation on earth from 1936 to 1964.

In both games you search technology and build armies and fleets, the first is an emp;ire building effort, trying gain colonies and annex countries while building industry (and keeping people at home happy in various forms of gov).

The second is WWLL leadup, war and aftermath.

That looks sick...makes me wish I was still in my college days and could just spend days playing that .

Both are extremly addictive.

HOI has no many things, for example, do you invade France now, or wait until your researchers come up with pzkw IIIs?

Should you build a navy and try to invade England?

Should you as japan, NOT declare war on the USA and just take out China first?

As the Soviets, should you attack the Nazis when they invade Poland? (this is a favorite of mine, even doing this I didn't beat germany until 1944 after a huge attrition war along the balkan mountains and the Vistula)

How about the USA joining the allies sooner? Later? Not at all?

You can even shift the governments and leaders, and make the USA Fascists or communists.

How about the Kaiser running germany instead of Adolph?

A romanoff instead of Stalin?

Its all here brutha.
