What other games are you playing? Auto-translated

Half-life, Sacred, Mechcommander, PERFECT WORLD, Heroes 5, Generals. I don't think I'm playing anything else right now.

I've been playing CivV a bit again, and I like it. What is it about Steam that spoils the impression?

The fact that I don same absolutely no need for it, yet it eats up gigamegabytes of Internet and RAM, and you can't delete it, otherwise Civ won't launch.

It can be switched to offline mode, it consumes very little, and it automatically downloads patches for the games. As for the RAM, it's pointless to worry about it; it's constantly in passive mode and is unlikely to affect performance.

It still bothers me ;) I just don't like it when the computer forces me to do something I don't need to do, and for what reason, anyway?

I enjoy playing various games – from home renovation to dealing with neighbors, and even weeding the garden. I love cooperative gameplay, but after the divorce, I mostly play single-player games.

I played the first Gothic, and I still play Warcraft 3 a bit. TMNT: Battle Nexus is a great game, and I especially like that you can play missions with 4 players, although I only played with 3 players because I didn't have enough controllers:D

I prefer strategy games, sometimes arcade games. Among strategy games, I like Code of War, King's Bounty, CnC, and Supreme Commander. Among arcade games, I enjoyed the LEGO games the most – LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Harry Potter...

There are worthy representatives in every genre.

Age of Wonders 2. Team games, 2v2. The advantage over Heroes of Might and Magic is simultaneous turns, as well as the ability to wage corporate wars. The tension is much higher than in a Heroes game due to the vulnerability of the mage. He must stay in the magic tower, otherwise there will be no magic. And while the units are fighting in different parts of the map. At the same time, the mage is constantly harassed: underground tunnels are dug by moles, invisible units sneak in, flying or swimming units attack the tower. The game's bestiary is full of nasty tricks. Also, there is no concept of a decisive battle. You might lose badly in the south, but win in the west, lose cities, and take others. Sometimes, it is not clear until the very last turn whether you have won or lost. Plus, you depend on your ally and how things are going for him. It seems like you've won, you're preparing for the decisive assault, and suddenly a bunch of unaccounted-for units appear out of nowhere to help your opponent.

Good game, but there aren't enough large maps.

I just realized that the plot of the second book of "The Lord of the Rings" is almost a copy of the game. Saruman sits in his tower and casts spells. His orcs storm Helm's Deep. Taking advantage of the absence of the army, dendroids with half-orcs break through to Saruman's tower and destroy everything.
It's almost a report from the game.

Yes, there are few maps, but there are also few games. At best, we get together once every two or three months. And five maps are enough for team play.

Yes, it’s definitely drawn out. That’s why, out of the campaigns, I stopped at the Meandor campaign, without finishing it. And in the game itself, the misses are very annoying. More so than in Disciples.

I play all the games, but I don't really like quests.

I used to be skeptical about them too. Try Limbo and Machinarium. They offer engaging logical quests.

I tried Machinarium, but I always run into a problem with all the quests when I reach a certain point where I can't pass it, and I end up searching for a walkthrough online:D
