That would be me (It was more of me trying to explain the concept of this game properly)... But I'm a rather "stupid" gamer at heart (OTT: I'm playing DA on Normal and I actually use tactics) and so though I love the idea of these types of games but suck really bad at them (The demo seemed unbelievably daunting to me)

IINM, it was 4 hours (I could only last 2 hours before my brain fainted)... So... yeah.

I've already come to terms with this... I'm not "strategy" material... I like it, but not play it.

I wouldn't say its because I'm old... but rather, now that I'm old I realize that my love for strategy is just my idle folly

*sigh*

That being said, I'm now more open towards anything and EVERYTHING turn-based.

I read about their predicament this morning.

I likelove the idea behind AI War. It's game mechanics in its purest form. Shame I'm horribly inept at playing grand strategy games though. Perhaps I will purchase the game even though the demo scared me.

That being said, I could not get into Tidalis (The source of their financial woes) at all. The core mechanic itself doesn't compel me enough.

I look forward to your LP, because (As Dwarf Fortress proves), if I'm too shit to play a game, I can still get the same joy by reading someone else's experience with it.

Just wanted to pop in and say that I just bought the AI War + Zenith bundle earlier today (Or yesterday) since news that the game has been streamlined and improved (I actually tried the very first demo of the game and it was really REALLY hardcore), together with the sale, pushed me to finally buy it.

Finished the tutorial (In a quarter of the time compared to the previous one! Really!) and am quite surprised at really how simplified it is now. So, I'll be bouncing in an out of here with random thoughts and whatnot.

Cheers
