Napoleon Total War 3
I think I still have a Commandos CD, I should try installing it.Had a bout of nostalgia, bought Commandos 2 from Steam for ~3.
Someone should make a new game like this, in proper 3D, improved AI and up to date graphics...
Hey, glad to see someone else playing Avernum!
And the developer, Jeff Vogel, has gone on record saying he does not balance the game on Torment, on the grounds people playing on Torment is entirely a self-inflicted choice.
So you getting beat by trash mobs is entirely on you!
Anyhow, I've been playing more Skyrim with the Requiem mod installed. After disabling Frostfall (I want to explore the northern parts of skyrim without freezing to death, darn it!) and putting in around three weekends to get my Dunmer battlemage to level 16 I'm finally getting into the swing of things. I can start exploring the fun dungeons and taking quests.

How is SkyRe? From the Nexus page it just looked like a MOAR STUFF mod that didn't really address (for me at least) the two big issues with Skyrim: the sensation that you never really got stronger (Bandits at level 1 are going to be roughly the same challenge at level 1, up to a point) and that it was possible to really gimp your character with due to the leveling system.Woose! Get a big fur cloak and be done with it.
Requiem was one of the big mods I wanted to try out, but I'd committed to SkyRe, which rather set my mod list accordingly.
The one thing I did like, and that felt different from Civ V, was the aliens. Without a mod, barbarians in Civ V are hardly even worth acknowledging. After a hundred turns of BE, some of the alien nests had taken over whole portions of the continent and my exploration teams were just dodging around, trying to survive and find a way back to base. At one point, I finally had had enough and assembled a whole army just to go stomp the bugs, and it weren't no cakewalk.
Yeah, I didn't play long enough to notice, but I imagine my war effort would have impacted my economy in the long run. A couple units of infantry, a sharpshooter, two of the gun buggies, and two missile buggies. And my hippy neighbors were getting cranky that I was mowing down the local fauna. I mean, hey, they started it. I was totally going for the peaceful scientist approach until they started eating people...My first serious game of BE, I got stomped by the bugs because I treated them like the barbs in Civ V. I did eventually fight them off, but they had caused so much damage and I invested so much into fighting them that I had no hope of winning that game and fell woefully behind the other civs.
