Sounds fantastic! I'm really tempted to back it myself. I like that GBA-looking style of graphics way more than the pixel style we see so much. I've also been interested in Dwarf Fortress for a long time but not enough to make myself learn how to play it. I'm pretty excited for this one.

The way you describe it, it sounds to me like they wanted to create a Memoir '44 game but needed to create a mechanic to make it indefinitely playable. (Memoir '44 is finite.) That mechanic turned out to be a grind. Bummer.

Side note: I really enjoy Memoir '44, even though you don't care about your units on a human level and you don't get to place your units either. The fun is defeating your opponent in the given scenario.

Ooo, I definitely like the looks of this one.

Quoting: liamdaweDid you read the source? It previously was a separate SKU, now it's going to be included with all versions of Windows.

That doesn't change my opinion about it. That's a change of distribution method.

Quoting: liamdaweI literally have no idea what "slash-dot-ie" is even supposed to mean.

I was referring to the https://slashdot.org/ website, where the quality of news posts greatly varies since it's open to all to post.

Quoting: liamdaweEditorials are opinion pieces, it's from my personal perspective and meant as a talking point, do keep that in mind folks. If you don't agree, that's fine :)

Sure, and that's what I was doing -- talking about the point.

I see this S version as a separate offering. I don't think anybody needs to get scared or spread a doom message to their poor Windows friends.

Other articles of this type on this site have been a bit more reasonable than this one. This one feels a little... slash-dot-ie.

Hmm, did your timed article publication bug out when it was supposed to wait until April 1st?

I didn't give it enough thought before, but reading this, I realize the game wasn't fun for me for the same reason. I haven't played it in months. I will have to try this new setup. Hopefully, it's fun!

The video sort of felt like Mech Warrior in outer space. Looks quite good.
