Mordheim: City of the Damned through Wine. Love the game. I am a huge fan of the tabletop game and while the digital version is not a straight adaptation, much to my chagrin, I actually think it works really well. The changes they made work better for a video game.

I never would have deleted my Windows Partition if I'd known that Civ V might be the last Civ game that I get to play.

Not familiar with the books, but I loved Joe Decer's Lone Wolf series and this sounds similar. Might be worth a look.

One of my favorite games. Love it. Never encountered any of the issues you mention though. Sounds like it may be fixable with tweaks in the graphics menu though. Maybe it's set at the wrong resolution?

Color me curious. If they take some cues from Sunless Sea this could be great.

I love 4Xs but real-time combat is a deal breaker for me.

I love the fact that as a Linux gamer I can actually afford to be picky now.

Two weeks ago I was playing Darkest Dungeon and loving every minute of it. Normally I don't care for high difficulty games but after beating Sunless Sea without saving or cheating I thought I'd give it a shot. Apparently I like hard games as long as the writing is strong enough.

But for the past two weeks I've been playing this game called Real Life: Work and Parenting Edition. It's really hard and pretty boring but the graphics are awesome!

Yeah that's why they've earned my loyalty. Shadowrun 2e was my life in high school. And I haven't played Hong Kong yet (I am really too poor for this hobby, lol) but both Returns and Dragonfall blew me away. Like I said, I'm indifferent to Battletech, but at this point I'd play any TBS from them even if it was Hello Kitty. Lol

I've honestly never cared about the license, but Harebrained Schemes have earned a certain level of loyalty from me and my ears always perk up at the words "turn-based" strategy, so I'll be keeping an eye on this.

Been playing the hell out of this for the past few weeks. Hadn't encountered any bugs but I'm glad they're still working on it.
