What other games complement your Dominions 3?

[Gandalf Parker]

I wouldnt mind StarDock doing one. They might do it right.
Too many of the clones tried to make it multiplayer.

Yeah.. I loved that game - both the (superiour) original that came out in the mag..

And the boxed set. I have a copy somewhere still.

Whistful:

Games I have played:

Berlin '85.
Rails West (Commodore 64)
Freedom in the Galaxy (horrible game, but groundbreaking mechanics)

MoM. Best.inGenre.Ever.
Xcom. Still remember being creeped out.

Swords and Sorcery - one of my favorite board games. Best boardgame simulation of what happens when armies meet wizards.

Down with the King
Kremlin
Dune

Tom Wham Games

BG series were so good - I was sooo looking forward to the Aurora engine - was sooo disappointed when it came out.

Do you play with all the expansion packs? Civ IV is a very Deep Game. I believe it is anything but simple. Try the expasion packs and increase or decrease dificulty or Create a map that suits your needs.

I agree that the game is emphatically not simple. But that's not what I said. I said the tactical battles are too simple, given that it has Warlords type of a system where individual units face off one v. one.

And yes, I have all the expansions.

My best friend and I came to the same conclusion. That the game itself was quite good, but combat is just so poorly handled, it ruins the entire experience. I'm looking for an Alpha Centauri II, with combat similar to Dominions, then we'll be talking turkey.

StarChamber. Much better than Poxnora IMO.

[Klepto]

Neverwinter Nights (on the Three Towns server mostly)
Wolf ET
Savage 2
Morrowind (the only reason I have Wine installed)
The X Games
Transport Tycoon, Wesnoth, Freeciv, Darwinia, Warzone 2100, etc.

... and many many more. My avatar/nick comes from this game.

For the severely geriatric only: Has anyone here ever played Dungeons of Daggorath? Talk about creepy...Bit for bit, easily the single best game ever made-and by 'bit for bit' I mean that it was made with only 8 kilobites. My icon has just under that...Or possibly more, I'm not really sure. And those 8 kilobytes feature: Great sound, better (legitimately spooky) atmosphere, a first person "shooter" with right and left handed action, a multi-level dungeon, upgradeable weapons and equipment, a realistic lighting system, 3D mimicing graphics-very good, considering it was made in 1982-innovative monsters, and a fairly difficult puzzle game-within-a-game. Oh and instead of hitpoints, it keeps track of your life with a beating heart that speeds up and slows down as you move throughout the dungeon.
