Imperium Galactica 2 is better than Sins as a real time 4X and cheaper.

I've never heard of this game. I'm gonna check!

I bought Solar... played it once and never played it again.. It could be cool.. I just didn't get into it.. Empire and Medieval, I've spent many hours on..

Same here but I played SoaSE a lot and never could like it. Empire Total War, excellent game so far.

Two completely different game types. Both good, just depends on what you want.

I'll have to give Solar another try... I guess it's just Game ADD... too many games too little time!!

Boy I agree about too many games and too little time. Life can be tough on us gamers. [;)]

I tried for days to like Sins, and everything about the game is done well. I just don't care for it and I'm not entirely sure why. After beta testing Distant Worlds since last summer, I really don't like any other space games out there now. I got spoiled. [X(]

I definitely recommend it. IG2 is one of the few real-time space 4x games I've enjoyed (looking forward to adding Distant Worlds to that list soon). [:)]

Empire is on sale for 10.50 at Direct2Drive...

Never mind.

I would suggest forgetting those two and get Galactic Civilization 2 and Medieval Total War origional with Vikings Invasion expansion. Why play mediocre games when you can play some real good quality ones?

Does Medieval Total War have auto save?

ok, So I did pass on sins, BUT I am truly enjoying Empire modded wit hDarth mod and actually Nappy modded wit hJams realism mod plays very well, I know they are beer and pretzal games, but its nice to see the huge improvements in graphics and the liek ..
thanks for the heads up E, will check out matrix space game too... seems there are a lot of interestingtitles out now, and alos more in the pipeline!
 

Larry, It is an easy thing to save your game and keep playing each turn.. I like MED2 modded, but truly I like the empire and nappy better, did actually say that?
so savign and moving back a tur nor two is simple

Thanks for the info.

I believe when the Vikings expansion came out Larry that it included a QUICK SAVE feature but not autosave. You could press like F5 function key and it would quicksave your game and you could also press it before a battle and it would quicksave that as well. I definitely prefer games today with autosave though because of all the crashing issues and video card etc. issues nearly every single game today has.

It is really easy with all the tot war stuff to save and continue

This is true freeboy but fact still remains you have to 'remember' to save manually. I would still prefer it just go ahead and autosave just before every battle automatically.

I also play Crusader Kings and am glad it has a feature that allows you to save once a year at least. OOTPBB is another game that requires an autosave because as the database gets full it starts to crash as well and I've lost months before of play before finally having it save at the end of each week.

Autosave should be a mandatory feature though from now on with any new games because there are just too many computers with just too many different setups out here now. Even Galactic Civilization 2 has an autosave and if I'm not mistaken it has a double autosave. The Guild I & II have them as well and I thank the gods for them because both have crashed on me at some point or other.

agreed, the problem with an auto save often, but not always, is that you get one auto save.. what if I want to go back twnety truns when I did X and change it! but I do agree.. easy is often better

Does Medieval Total War have auto save?

Yes, MTW has auto-save, although I can't remember if it does so every 5 years (turns) or every 10 years.

One caveat with MTW: If you have an Nvidia 8xxx series video card, you may have trouble running it. There are fixes/workarounds that'll work for a lot of people, but some folks can't seem to get the game to run no matter what they do.


All that being, said MTW is an awesome game! It remains my favorite Total War title, despite its age.

After the 1.6 patch I can now recommend ETW and it's onsale some place I think for $10.50 or was a couple days ago.
