DonCzirr, can you tell about differences between Endless Legend and Age of Wonders III? I've got AoE3 and have watched EL on YouTube, but I'd like to have your opinion about them.

Also in case you missed it in AoE3, high elves there are common descendants from wood elves & dark elves. That's right: different elves got together and decided to make love instead war.

Yep - I had read a little on the merging and am hoping that they come up with some unknown splinter faction or something that allows them to bring back the DE as a distinct faction - they were lots of fun.

Bottom line with AOW 3 and EL is that AOW 3 is great for combat, Magic use (both tactical and strategic) - cool ideas for race / alignment relations and management etc. I also like the fact that they have a lot of minor factions you can do quests for or choose to integrate by force. Diplomacy is lacking a bit and the city building is nothing spectacular.

EL - Has a bunch of themed "Faction Quests" that gives you quality back-story (good writing and atmosphere)and a goal of leading your people to a better state / ascension from their current status.

In many cases, it is more about "Fallen Science" than about "traditional" magic - which has it's own very special charm. Combat in EL is 'meh' - I still do the manual combat but it's nothing to write home about. City / Empire building in EL also far outshines AOW III - especially with all the epic buildings and feats that are now available. After building up cities and technical wonders, it enjoyable to go around and survey the Game of Thrones intro style representation of your lands - it truly takes on a mystical science / fantasy atmosphere.

From my perspective - they are both deserving of a place on the hard drive and will fill a need - depending on the mood you're in.

Duke Nukem.[;)] One of my favorite classics.

I recall Good Old Games having that some time ago. Now it has nothing. Steam has only Duke Nukem Forever. There are number of Duke Nukem games starting from 1991. Which game is your favourite?

I'm currently drugged by The Lord of the Rings Living Card Game (https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/p ... card-game/). I have a lot of expansions and quest packs, so my PC gaming time is limited. And when the revised Yanks! for ASL will finally arrive... let's say that I'm already salivating.

I played Paradox's Stellaris for all of 10 hours. What a crock [:(]. You are really dazzled for a while, then boredom ensues. DW: Universe kicks it into next week. From what I read on Paradox forum, I'm not the only one who feels like this.

Well been playing World of Warcraft on player vs. player server, finally get to play Hearts of Iron IV as well. Wanted to see how far I can go in WoW lol.

Victoria 2 and Rise of Prussia lately. I'm buying Wars of Napoleon in a few weeks, which I suspect will take up much of my free time.

LOTR LCG is a really great game! I have the first cycle of adventure decks and the first dwarf expansion. That's a lot of cards already, I couldn't imagine having multiple cycles and expansions.

I agree with Stellaris. I pretty much expected that going in but bought it anyway hoping for the best. Should have saved my money for something else. I suspect in a year or two it will be really excellent, but for now its just a shell of what it could be.

Heroes of the Storm and Stellaris mostly.

Eyeing HoI4 pretty hard though.

1) Pike & Shot Campaigns

2) WinSPMBT. It had another update in April

3) LOTRO. Mostly PVPing as a warg. I am thinking about trying WoW again. I never tried the PVP when I played WoW many years ago
