Crusader Kings II: Way of Life

Nuova DLC per Crusader Kings II prevista per il 16 Dicembre; Way of Life permetterà al giocatore di aggiungere nuovi elementi RPG al proprio personaggio.


Fans of Crusader Kings II will be happy to note that the expansion, Way of Life, will be launching on December 16th. The expansion contains ten different focuses and gives players more of an RPG feel to their RTS in the form of new diplomacy options and more.


Set a Focus - Give your rulers a “way of life” by assigning them a Focus that will give an immediate boost to their skills and help shape the course of their development through events and decisions – new and old. There are ten different Focuses available to your characters:

• Rulership – Be a better king!
• Business – Gold is good
• Hunting – Kill the beast!
• War – What’s yours is mine
• Family – the most important thing, right?
• Carousing - ahem
• Seduction – double ahem
• Intrigue – sneaky, sneak
• Scholarship – We love to learn
• Theology – Do it for the big guy upstairs

Combat Mission - Black Sea in pre-ordine

Combat Mission - Black Sea è in pre-ordine da qualche giorno. La lista delle features è davvero lunga quindi probabilmente varrà i soldi chiesti (anche se temo saranno più dei soliti 50 euro). Comunque belle immagini.

Per quanto il titolo sia godibile che senso ha spremere un'idea che non ha margini di miglioramento se non minimi e che non giustificano un titolo tutto nuovo?

Rilasciati Piercing Fortress Europa e Mark H. Walker's Lock 'n Load: Heroes of Stalingrad rilasciati

Rilasciati da Matrix due wargame 2d classici Piercing Fortress Europa e Mark H. Walker's Lock 'n Load: Heroes of Stalingrad. Lock 'n Load mi interessa poco, farò un pensierino per Piercing Fortress Europa, ma prima aspetto di avere infor più precise su com'è.

Wargame Red Dragon nuovo trailer

Nuovo trailer per Wargame Red Dragon

Uscito Conquest of Paradise prima espansione per Europa Universalis IV

E' stato rilasciato Conquest of Paradise la prima espansione per Europa Universalis IV; ecco il trailer di rilascio:

Uscito Histwar Napoleon

Histwar Napoleon è stato rilasciato oggi; ho visto i commenti sul forum e sono entusiasti, ma sulla grafica, non ho visto nulla che indicasse un cambiamento radicale nel gameplay.

Air Conflicts: Vietnam rilasciato

Il terzo titolo della serie Air Conflicts è uscito. Ricordo che Air Conflicts: Vietnam non è un simulatore di volo, ma un arcade, molto ben fatto, ma un arcade.

Histwar Napoleon in prevendita

Histwar Napoleon è in pre-vendita dal 21 Novembre e in uscita il 3 dicembre.

http://www.histwargames.com/boutique/en/

Ci sono varie versioni di acquisto, comunque il prezzo varia dai 50 euro ai 290 (purtroppo per il momento sembra possibile pagare solo tramite bonifico bancario).

La domanda è "ne vale la pena"? Ho già avuto modo di parlare del gioco varie volte sul Blog e la mia personalissima conclusione è "non si sa". Ad oggi, a parte la grafica, che è migliorata tantissimo, non ho la più pallida idea se il gameplay funzionerà in modo decente\sarà migliorato oppure lo stato dell'arte è ancora Histwar1 al suo attuale livello, vale a dire ancora pieno di bachi: non c'è ancora il livello brigata\divisione e far passare un ponte sembra ancora un'impresa titanica. Non esiste una gestione sensata dei corrieri e l'ultima introdotta crea solo una massa di messaggi di feedback ingestibile.

Quindi non posso che dire a chi si fa attirare dalla grafica: aspettate e leggete i posts degli utenti che lo usano e guardate cosa dicono. Il gioco è costoso non vale i soldi per il livello attuale di Histwar 1.

Rilasciato Conflict of Heroes: Storms of Steel

La nuova espansione per Conflict of Heroes è stata rilasciato l'altro giorno; Storms of Steel è incentrata sulla battaglia di Kursk.
