The General Pooter Games Thread.

I'm almost tempted, but I've already got a chunk of it, and so many things to play already... Maybe next time.

[Morgrim]

I can't run Beyond Earth on my current computer, but tempted to grab it for when I get a better one. That and XCOM are the only games I don't have in that Bundle. Hm. Decisions, decisions.

[Psychosplodge]

I want beyond earth, but based on civ v I want it in two or three years when theres a "complete" edition.

[Erik Setzer]

Well, I think you can gift the codes for games you already have, so you might be able to save on the games you don't have, and then also get codes to give to a friend who doesn't have a particular game so you can play against each other or something. I'm considering doing that myself.

[Psychosplodge]

I can't get struggle to get irl friends to commit to an hour playing anything, so a hundred hour game of civ V? Not going to happen...

[Morgrim]

Turns out that the bundle is in 3 lumps, and you get a code for each lump that unlocks all the games you don't own in that section.

And then they put one XCOM game in each lump. So instead of being able to give the Civ games to a friend and keep the Beyond Earth and XCOM games, I had to use all three codes myself.

[Erik Setzer]

Wow. That's weird.

I've had some reasonably pleasant games of Civ V with a friend, but the last one we played pretty much to completion ended with me wanting to smack him repeatedly with his own monitor. We agreed to, once we'd wrecked the rest of the world, meet in a specific location with our armies and then go at each other. I parked my armies there while building up, and he asked me to confirm I was parking them there as agreed. I said yes... and he dropped nukes on them and started trying to nuke my cities. I set my empire to proper war production and started flinging nukes at him along with setting up an air force and missile defenses. He decided to quit (at least, unlike my dad, he admitted he was ceding the game to me, but in a cheeky way).

After a while, though, I was begged not to use America any more. Seems my expansionist attitude gives me a huge head-start for the later phases of the game.

So, does that Mordheim video game have female soldiers for human warbands or is it just limited to Sisters of Sigmar as a faction?

[Kirsten]

just fired mine up, loads of customisation options for appearance, but not gender. Sisters of Sigmar only unfortunately :/
four factions to begin with, and the humans have to be a specific province as well unfortunately, all reiklanders. personally I would want a Nuln female gunpowder army.

Aw. What about Chaos? Thought I saw some enboobened cultists or something in a video.
