Default OT: any other games?

Hey all...while I wait for the week of the 17th of November, I was wondering if anybody else has any other games they are playing? Or, any other games you know about that are good?

I have been checking into an old classic game, Empire Deluxe Internet Edition. Haven't bought it yet, still trying to decide if I like it....

At any rate, what games are out there where you can pay with credit card over the net, and then d/l the actual game? anyone know of any?

oh, yeah, another one that i am thinking about getting is War! Age of Imperialism....

What are your suggestions???

Hidden and Dangerous 2. Very decent game, but this is not strategy.

Stars!, Celtic Kings, Tranquility, King of Dragon Pass. Was playing in Star Wars Galaxy and GalCiv but I got bored.

And Master of Magic.
Also I plan on getting Age of Wonders: Shadow Realm which seems as close to MoM2 as anyone has gotten.

(and yes I do play games all day, Im retired military. Envy me. )

i seen Hidden & Dangerous 2 earlier today....how does that game play?

Also, I had Master of Magic, but couldn't get it to work on XP...

I have the demo for Stars!, but what is the "pull" of that game...I also seen that Wal-Mart now has both Alpha Centauri AND Alien Crossfire.....perhaps I will pick that game up...

Has anyone played Empire Deluxe though?

Alot of our players in the newsgroup came from Stars to Dominions. We told them that if they liked Stars then they would love Dominion, for the same reasons. Its a decent strategy game involving excellent surprising balances.

The only real complaint I had with Stars is that I didnt get in soon enough. By the time I started playing it they had the strategys pretty well locked down for solo, multi-play, 2-race alliances, 3-race alliances, small map, large map, etc etc. That was one of the thrills I had with Dom 1. Getting in early enough to take part in the debates, even toss in a few surprises. Im looking forward to that in Dom2 also.

gandalf, have you played Space Empires IV Gold? I have heard that SE4 is actually better than Stars!....i have SE4....and the demo for Stars.

But, Stars I just haven't really played much of...just a little bit...
