Commanders and Tactics WW2 Deck Building Game

@SS-GEN
Just another pay-to-win browsergame, not comparable with A&A.

@redrum Sounds about right. I’ve never played the original though.

No one has heard of AGEod’s American Civil War computer game?

My son just purchased it for $10 with Christmas Money.  He thought it would be an action game but it is not.  It is very detailed though and I’m still trying to figure out how to play it.

Command and conquer four is was released last week. Anybody play it? Its just so radically different from the other games especially the last one which was a welcome return to the roots of C&C. If any one bought it or is thinking about getting it educate me?

If you have ever played Total Annihilation or Total Annihilation Kingdoms, or Supreme Commander 1, check this game out.  Its quite different from the first Supreme Commander but actually runs and I think looks better than the first.  Its an RTS game centered around starting off with practically just one unit, your commander and building a base from there.  Mass and Energy are the only 2 resources but research points are technically a resource now.  You can upgrade your structures, units, and commander to help your efforts of winning.

The franchise is known for having gigantic experimental robots and just dominate everything around them with insane weapons and ramped up abilities.  For example, a artillery cannon that is a factory that launches units instead of shells anywhere on the map.  You can build a gigantic magnet to repel or attract enemy units, depending how your mood is  :mrgreen: .  There are 3 factions in the game, all have for the most part unique units that set them apart.

The unit detail is stunning, parts and pieces on all the objects rotate, fold, collapse, transform, move in and out.  Check it out, it got kinda weak reviews, 78 score overall because everyone wanted the same thing remade from the first game which is kinda arrogant I think.

@bbrett3:

Some people said it was just like Fallout, but with more customization, is that true?

I don’t really know.  I think Fallout 3 is more in depth, but I never played it, just assuming so from Bethesda.  Borderlands focuses on action, multiplayer, quests, and getting more and more loot. It’s really simple and the character customization is basic - 3 trees with 7 skills each (1 master) that is unlocked as you put more points in the tree.  The weapons are never the same except for the unique ones bosses always carry.  It looks nice and is well done, but plays really well.  You can kill quite a few hours on it the first time through, but once you know what to do I think you can run through it and even skip side quests.

If you like turn based strategy games, then you’ll love this game.

Good list, Yanny.  I have had the pleasure of playing/beating most of those games.

I know Oregon Trail was popular as hell, but I didn’t think anyone played OT2.  I loved OD’ing grandma on the laudanum.  :lol:
