Just got Factorio and played first 2 tutorials. Minecraft/FortressCraft from isometric perspective, where player character crash land on alien world, builds an industry from raw materials, walls and weapon platforms to defend against local wild life.

Game is already nearly a year old. It got renewed attention when developer was subjected to some political nonsense, to which he delivered an epic response:

quote:

You can take that ************** mentality and shove it up your ***.

Censored for this forum. # of positive Steam reviews spiked over 10 fold, and a number of YouTubers say they buy the game. As did I. Decisive victory for developer.

Slitherine & Matrix wargames have plenty of material for political nonsense: glorification of war, its participants, their politics, their flags (remember Confederation battle flag debacle few years ago?)... With this in mind, I urge Slitherine & Matrix personnel to take a close look at the political nonsense Factorio developer got dragged into, and take notes so you can come up with appropriate measures should you ever become a target of such nonsense. So far it looks like Factorio dev gained decisive victory where many others have suffered heavy losses and even decisive defeats.

Matrix and Slitherine forum pretty much pro US, UK and the Commonwealth player based forum more narrow about nationality than in maybe Steam games audiance .So the topics mostly about 1 voice and side. But still liberal in some sense for non English speakers. What do you mean by politics? Cheers.

It's an Android/IOS game, but with Bluestacks you can play on the computer.

Oh, and getting my head handed to me in WiTE2.

Aurelian, I have to thank and blame you for your recommendation of Train Station 2. I've been playing it constantly since your post and loving it. Relatively light weight, but engaging and fun games like this are a great compliment to WitP AE or in your case, WitE 2.

Finished up a CMBS scenario playing the Ukraine side, it was the first time I got to employ a Tunguska in a CM battle. What a beast! It chewed up three BTR-82a without any return fire.

I have an on-going small campaign in CC:PITF. It's morning of the last day s still some battles yet to come. I'll probably take on a CC:GTC campaign next.

I recently purchased FOG2 Medieval only loaded it to make sure it was installed correctly and also downloaded the WWII mod for Armored Brigade and the Normandy mod for CC:TBF haven't tried it out yet. I'm also getting the CMO itch again. So plenty of options for the next round of games.

What are CC:PITF, CC: GTC, and CC:TBF, please? I know what the Combat Mission games are, but have no idea what those acronyms stand for. I hate acronyms. :o)

Thank you in advance!

Oh - as for what I'm currently playing:

Lock 'n Load Tactical Digital (PC)
Solasta Crown of the Magister (PC)
Fantasy General 2 (PC)

Hostage Negotiator (solo board game on the table, until the cats knock crap around)
