PSA: Game Discounts

[Josquius]

I shouldn't buy games though FOG Empires does increasingly tempt me.
Whats the relation with FOG 2? Completely separate games or there's some interplay there? The Persia expansion at all worth it? Just noicing offers around it.

Separate games but you can resolve Empire battles using FOG 2.

Early on that is what I did, but since they have improved the ingame battle resolution I have just been playing Empires  as a stand alone as it is quite good.

Persia is definitely worth it.  It adds a lot - for example each faction plays quite differently. It is a different experience from the base game.

Since they were both on sale I got both Steel Division 2 and Mius Front. Let the best game win.

So without FOG2 the battles in Empires are EU style, with its more Total War?

[Berkut]

Is FOG Empires strictly Roman and such?

More leaning toward EU style, you don't move the units around the battlefield but you see the battlefield and how each unit performs.  The makeup of your army is critical.

It is a time period game, so everything from the Roman period is in and same with the Persian DLC.  The game does a good job of dealing with the Helenic world as Rome emerges.  The Persian DLC does a great job simulating the rise of the Persian empire.

I'm looking at Armored Brigade on Steam.  28 bucks.  Anyone play this?  Doesn't Tamas work for Matrix Games or something?

Not since end of last year, no :p

Armored Brigade is pretty neat and can be quite fun but it does require some interest in Cold War era tactical warfare.

Since they were both on sale I got both Steel Division 2 and Mius Front. Let the best game win.

Any opinions?

Total War: Troy is out and free on Epic Games for the next 24 hours.

Total War: Troy is out and free on Epic Games for the next 24 hours.

I am going to grab it because why not but I must say I am extremely uninterested in the topic.

I'm extremely interested in the topic (and wish there were more Bronze Age games ... hoping for a Field of Glory Empires expansion ... or army lists for FOG2), and while the reviews aren't horrible, they also don't seem to be great. Basically it seems good, but not as good as Three Kingdoms or Warhammer II.

That said, I broke down and have now registered with Epic to claim this game.

Epic is great for collecting free games and never playing them.
