I have this installed and mean to play it sometime. It surely looks up my alley.

Wesnoth is actually part of the Arch repository. I wouldn't be surprised if it's in other distributions as well.
sudo pacman -S wesnoth

Quoting: Purple Library GuyCapitalism is just the only system to actually base itself on greed as the main virtue (although most actual humans aren't really very virtuous by our society's standards).

I can't agree with this. I could be brain washed, but I don't think greed is a necessary component of capitalism. It was supposed to be more effort equals more reward, however that relationship doesn't scale linearly.

I think of greed as "I want more than you have" whereas "I want more than I have" is not always evil.

Haven't read the entire KS page, but I like everything I've seen about this game so far. I really like the idea of greed being the curse. Greed is not inherent with capitalism but it's certainly a potential side effect.

This is my concern. I didn't have fun during the base building segments in XCOM. So, when I got to a battle mission that I couldn't beat, I had no desire to throw away an hour+ by loading an older save point. In fact, I think I own XCOM 2 from a Humble Bundle but I have like 5% interest in playing it.

But I do like turn-based tactics. I am a fanboy of Fire Emblem and I play with perma-death because I'm willing to restart a long battle if I lose a character. I just didn't find the HQ parts of XCOM fun at all.

I'm very happy to see this Ubuntu release. I like the changes in 18.04. Ubuntu Desktop is a huge advantage to the Linux worldwide community.

Quoting: crabelI think it is a great game, developers put a lot of love and effort into it. I can really recommend it, but there are also some buts ...

It's currently unclear when act 2 will come out and if one has to pay for it. It took me just about 4 or 5 hours to complete the game and get all possible steam achievements (ok, I had to consult a guide for the latter). So it is very short. IMHO it is either a tad pricey (10$ per act) or quite cheap (10$ for all 4 acts).

GOG full price says $8 for me and sale price is $6. I think that's quite fair for a 4-5 hour episode. Don't we remember the days of 8-10 hour games that were $40-$50 at release?

Anyway, I really don't gravitate to adventure games... but I'll consider this one. It looks entertaining.

Agree. I think I would get this if it had multiplayer.
