Hey! I just got my email about the GOG sale!!!!!

CarrionCrow: Additional - quick heads-up, got a 404 Atlas bear while an order was processing. The game came through, but it's looking like the overall system is straining just a bit....
I've seen some slowdowns, and lost one post, but no GOGbears yet here. Somewhat surprised that the AoW giveaway didn't bring it to a crashing halt as soon it is was made public.

CarrionCrow: [who cares]

AgentBirdnest: Holy freaking crap! Your avatar just blinked at me! Has it always done that?
It's a .gif file originally, so that's always been a part of it. Didn't think the blinking part worked for people seeing it on GOG, though.

katya_stevens: Colonial Charter -- which expands the gameplay massively (and they're working on even more stuff for it).
Wow, how cool! Thanks for that link. I keep forgetting that so many games out there have awesome mods.

Got a bear trying to get to my cart, but once I got there checkout went smoothly.

Have seen it twice now, and yeah, I'm also figuring that the AOW giveaway is playing a part in that. Good news, though - only 167,698 to go and that strain won't be around anymore. -laughs-

With BFE, clicking an avatar shows the original file. I guess I've never clicked it until now. Scared the hell out of me.

It's okay. Just a blinking picture. Be glad it isn't my real picture, that'd seriously scare the crap out of you. ;)

Indeed :) Colonial Charter scooped up a few other mods I'd been using, and it's become pretty much my main one at the moment. I've found that some of the buildings it adds helps alleviate the end-game stagnation -- y'know, you have all the regular buildings you need, and all that's left is for your population to grow. Nope. Get some hemp or flax growing there, turn it into rope, and progress to newer buildings. Upgrade your clothier, make a whaling station.

(Okay, it probably pushes the end-game stagnation a lot further back, but there's a lot more stuff you can make, do, and grow with that mod.)

CarrionCrow: snip
Check your PMs for a little treat in gratitude for doing the Tracking this time around.

katya_stevens: Hmm, that's difficult. Banished will probably give you the most for your worth considering it's open-ended (and there's a very major mod made for it -- Colonial Charter -- which expands the gameplay massively (and they're working on even more stuff for it).

Other than that, I know Dragonfall got good reviews and should be worth a good portion of time. Legend of Heroes I'm considering myself, so can't really say.
avatar
IAmSinistar: I'd go with Banished. It's clever, deep, realistic, and requires a lot of play just to get good at. Strong value for money.
Thanks guys. I think Banished it is. Legend of Heroes will probably have to wait.

With your backlog, I have to ask, what were you missing and bought?

I can't believe anyone here isn't completely convinced I'm a Viking.
