Your planetary dominion begins here.

Deadlock: Planetary Conquest and Deadlock 2: Shrine Wars, two excellent Sci-Fi turn-based strategy games that will allow you to explore the planet, expand your influence, exploit the resources under your control, and exterminate the foes of your empire, are available for $5.99 each, on GOG.com. This week only, you'll receive a 33% off discount when getting both of them. That's only $7.98 for the set of two!

[url=http://www.gog.com/promo/deadlock_stacking_launch_promo_280114][/url]Beneath you floats magnificent, untamed Gallius IV, a terran world newly discovered in this disputed part of the galaxy. Your colony ship is ready, equipped with all the basics you need to settle this planet. The select group of colonists orbiting with you are prepared both to build a strong colony and to defend it to the last stone. Other ships are also scanning the planet's surface, choosing the landing site for their colony. All past allegiances have been cast aside in the fever for this world. So begins Deadlock: Planetary Conquest, an intense turn-based strategic simulation. Seven races colonize a virgin planet, but only one will survive. Build your province’s structures. Conduct research to advance your race. Devise the perfect strategy of diplomacy, intimidation and warfare. Every decision you make will determine the ultimate fate of your people, your empire, and your survival.

Discovered, in the aftermath of the Gallius IV war, ancient and mysterious Shrines have revealed the location of an extinct alien home world. These Shrines unlock the most powerful technology in the Universe. Now, seven interstellar empires race across the galaxy to conquer this one planet and gain the secret power of the ancient civilization. That's the premise of Deadlock 2: Shrine Wars another exciting game of strategy, resource management and military conquest in the series. Each race fighting to dominate the planet has its own strengths and weaknesses - learn to exploit them to your advantage. Build, trade, research, attack, as you search for the ancient knowledge that will grant you ultimate control over the entire Universe.

Don't miss your chance to get the complete Deadlock series with 33% off discount. Deadlock: Planetary Conquest and Deadlock 2: Shrine Wars can be yours for only $7.98. Better hurry, because the offer lasts only until Tuesday, February 4, at 10:59AM GMT.

Walen: As I see it not quite.
You are right, I really don't understand why people keep saying it's alike. It's an isometric 4X game with a tech tree, that doesn't make it "like civilization", it's just in the same wide category of videogames .
Yes!

I have been waiting for these games for a long time. I have such fond memories of Deadlock 1

You both didn't understand the question I was responding to. The guy was asking for a relative comparison, and yes, Deadlock is "more like" Civilization than it is like a "unit rush" game. At no point did I say it was "alike."

I absolutely loved the first one. I've been saddened at attempts to get it to work again. So happy to randomly come to GOG and see it out!

It's just that you are the second person who compares Deadlock to civilization, and I felt like it could be very misguiding.
In fact I don't really understand the point of Amok because the 'build your base and spam your ennemies' is more of an RTS mechanic in my opinion, that said ...... I think it's quite the point of Deadlock to be honest, made in a TBS fashion : seize strategic sites, build an economy through an optimized logistic network, then make your war effort rolling....
I own an original copy of Deadlock and I love it. Is the second one worth it? What are the main differences between the two?
So excited. Spent like all of 1999 playing this and Civ II Call to Power.

Now I just want Civ II. Badly. Plz?

Just bought both Deadlock 1&2. I remember playing Deadlock, but had never played the sequel (didn't even know it existed!). What a deal! I think I paid at least $30 for the original.

I second that...
Well, this is interesting. Wishlisted.
A classic turn-based strategy that I've never heard of? That's a rare find indeed! Definitely picking this up.
I've been hoping and waiting for this, thank you very much gog. :D

I think it's worth it. It's almost the same as the first, except it has a new interface as well as more technologies, buildings and units. You can also colonize ocean tiles once you get the right tech.

To add to the previous poster, the sequel also features diplomacy and campaigns.
