You better >:(

I tried replaying Caesar 3 a while ago, but it's basically always the same, build houses, build structures to upgrade the houses, but the fucking houses keep degrading and upgrading randomly. And it doesn't even have funny bits like Sim City. Horrible game.

I tried playing this game and it lagged fiercely. I can play COH but not this? Don't get it.

just play AoE or the SW RTS game - much better, and the killing is much much quicker.

For a real pull-your-hair-out time, try Rome TW (or expansions)

Get Star Wars : Forces of Corruption Or some shit


Dont play ground battles. They suck.

Taking out a million battle cruisers with like some xwings and admiral Ackbar's concentrate fire (EVERY SINGLE FUCKING GUN YOU OWN SHOOTS WHAT YOU CLICKED ON) is the most fucking fun ever.

AoE and EE are totally not related in any way to Caesar, damn it, I think you missed something D: The first 3 Caesars were great.

And I've yet to play C4, because if I don't have time to post on DAC I don't have time for games d:

You did not report in. How does it compare to Caesar II? It probably gets worse with time I'm sure.

Eh sorry. I did start playing, and finished the first two levels of the campaign. Obviously they were like tutorials, which were okay to get me back in the rhythm, because I would have totally forgotten that I needed wells, engineers and firemen, and then I'd go bankrupt, have my people suffer from diseases and my houses burning.

But it's still a bit early to make a review; I somehow launched Gothic 3 last week and since then I didn't play anything else. Also the fact that I spend pretty much half of my evenings in bars to watch the Habs losing is making finding time to play Caesar hard.

Something on the graphics though : they're pretty, but it's strange that I have to set the details fairly low, AF and FSAA to 0, and use a 1024x780 res. to get an ok framerate, since I can play Gothic 3 with high details and Gothic 3 had the reputation of running like shit on any machine. Even in Crysis I can set the details to medium/high D: I wonder how it'll run when my towns are huge?

Medieval : Total War 2 is an abomination of pandering to cretinous shinies fetishists and an extravagant hell of superfluous micromanagement. :drunk:

Oh fuck your precious Habs and your Boom Booms and your Guy LaFleurs and your Rocket Richards. I live in Hartford man, not only did we lose our Whale, but then the team that never made it out of the first round of the playoffs (thanks to Claude Lemieux and your fucking Habitants in 3rd period of game 7) suddenly wins the cup.

tabarnac!

Still, we went back from 1-3 a few years ago against the Bruins, even though they finished 1st in the Eastern conference...

How bad was Begin's penalty, damn it? And I can't believe Biron's so good, it's pure luck.

Byron's not good, the habs just forgot how to score. For some reason they just find it fine to throw the puck from one end to another and see how close they can pretend to make a goal without actually doing it.

The way they played the last games is pathetic, if they can't make it tomorrow I won't be surprised. Looks like they don't really care.

Eh I dunno, they're doing pretty good with scoring opportunity, and they're better than against Boston I think. For some reasons the puck just hits the post though. And R.J. Umberger turned into an all-star player?

We're lucky to have the Kostytsins though, tthey make the future looks prettier.
