I just bought Star Ruler don't know what to think about it,

I played a game for 6 hours and get a crash, now I have to start a new one because it keeps crashing...
I don't think I will keep on playing it, too much bugs for me, game is not finished yet, ships aren't refuelling auto, game crashes...
and It seems every sector I go into has literally hundreds and hundreds of CPU ships just hanging out,this is crazy and I'm playing a 150 systeme galaxy, and these ships are all running out of fuel because the AI isn't refuelling most of them...
I think 1000 systemes galaxy would probably just set my machine on fire.
It would be great if there was a ship limit, so that th Ai could not build thousands of ships...
most of time I kill all the AI ships with a 200 shielded ship and take over most all AI systems with only that one ship


Will try to buy Ai War, but for now I'm waiting Football manager 2011 to be released.

Still playing DW, I tried to make an AAR of my last game but my english is not good enough [:D]

Also playing Roma Surrectum which is a mod for Rome total war, it just has been released,great mod !

I had been hesitant for awhile, but finally got Warship Combat: Navies At War after my latest naval wargaming kick.

It fills a niche I'd been looking for - WWI & II turn-based surface warfare.

AI War for me, and I'm waiting for Schwerpunkt Middle East.

I still haven't learned DW, the fonts are to dang small for these old eyes.

I just got into HOI3 - not terribly realistic, but it is sort of challenging and fun, at least for newbies.

Been playing as Hungary...

First time, got crushed by the Russians.

Second time, learned how to fight land battles. I took Yugoslavia early, got Odessa and Crimea on the east front, but about the exact moment I ran out of manpower, the Americans opened the 2nd front in Dalmatia - crushed by Americans.

Third time, took (and fortified) Yugoslavia, and took Odessa, Crimea, Rostov, and the entire Caucasus when Bitter Peace happened (had to give it all to Germany).

After that, I figured I had the hang of armies, so now starting as Italy. I suspect that eventually I'll get bored, and get back to DW or WitP:AE. But meanwhile, having fun.

If you are going to play Italy then I have a suggestion for you. Do not try to wage war on the African continent by crossing the Mediterranean....You are pretty much screwed if you do....the British navy will cut you apart on the sea and your troops will starve for resources. My solution was to go through Yugoslavia, Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey, Iraq and then to cross the Suez into Africa.

Before enacting this strategy try to remove as many of your forces from Africa and then begin your attack on Yugoslavia.

Something to watch out for if your playing Simper Fi....by the time you conquer most of Africa the United States will try and land in Normandy...this will be a significant battle...you will have to help the Germans out or they will be dead.

AI War, Titan Quest Immortal Throne, Victoria 2, Civ5 (when i miss Wu Zetian and am in a good enough state of mind not to get angry at how lacking the diplomacy is), X3 Terran Conflict, and Elemental which really i shouldnt count since i stopped playing it long ago lol.

And *awaits flames* i recently started playing WoW again, i forgot how much fun it was. Even as a past WoW player (not that much though) its easy to get swept up in the "its cool to hate WoW, all the kidz do it!" attitude, before you come to your senses again and realize, hey, its actually the best MMO so far, bugfree, relatively balanced and doesnt run like a limp horse being forcefully dragged through dx11 environments that have nothing but brown shades of brown. (cough, age of conan).

It usually goes like that for me anyway lol;
*plays wow, gets bored after a few months, quits*
*plays dozens of other mmo betas, or failed releases, over the course of a year*
*gets sick of the ridiculous unfinished buggy unplayable state of every single mmo i tried so far the past year*
*reactivates wow, plays for a few months, has fun, eventually get bored*
*repeat*

Usually also includes EVE Online, though lately i've been reactivating that much less. Though im sure i will once the new character creator hits the live servers.

What character creator are you talking about? I haven't heard anything about this.

That one, they're bringing the new character (walking-in-stations) graphics in this winter, so people have a fresh portrait (with body) ready for whenever the walking-expansion hits

I bought AI war and the 2 expansions today, great game I think I will play it for a while

Do you know when the walk-in expansion will hit?

@sabre1,
good call, it ships this weekend.
as for patch waiting... too many games too little time.
(still playing most games in my sig.)

Right now I play 3 games.
Left 4 Dead with my friends.
Blood Bowl Legendary Edition in an online league (play this pretty much daily at the moment)
Distant Worlds daily since I finished beta testing Blood Bowl.

World of Tanks mostly

I have been to http://www.supaswap-ps3.com/ to check out whats there

Yeah I love this game, it is something I have been waiting for since I fell in love with Navy Field a couple years ago. I have both a EU and RU account going, looking forward to their North American servers going live. The price for gold is very reasonable, and they just release the US Tank tree.

Hopefully Clan Wars comes out soon!
