that screen shot looks a lot like Medievil 2 Total War.
I think the high point of the series (for me) was Napoleon Total War. a very visceral and visually stunning game that was highly addictive and very playable online in PvP battles. very smooth and very quick. like I said, it was chess on steroids.
Command and Conquer was like my first sweetheart (in gaming terms) and I stayed faithful for years. Later on it became clunky and cartoony with less strategy and more robot close combat which I didn't really go for.
STO is my first MMORPG. I am a treaky which is why I am here - I couldnt see getting into another as I really don't have the interest. the Genre has brought me here as a treky. Without this I would be sending an forces fourth and building an empire somewhere less MMO.
I have reached the end of the story arc here (near enough) and have almost exhausted every mission for the accolade ribbon - not an easy task with so many accolades bugged to death. I was thinking of a bit of an extra marital affair with perhaps total war again - and wodered if anyone had their finger on that pulse.
Ive' just been caught posting and...
Mrs Captain Moonlight calls me a geek - and looking back at my Trekism, online gaming, Knowing of the history of every campaign of note in history and knowing the difference between a neutrino and a graviton - I am coming to terms with the fact, she is right.
So on that note, any recomendations for other games that may be worthy of investigation?
