[gameprogrammer] Re: Favorite Game

Rome total war... hmmm I love the battle system, but the campaing
tends to get boring especially when you are winning and the computer
begins cheating like crazy :P. I mean board games are supposed to stay
on the table not go to the computer, but oh well. Other than that
stick to the battles, and don't lower yourself to let the computer
decide battles ever, I once was stuck on a siegue with only 20 guys
vs. 1500 yet the king went onward and got killed, bad thing he had no
heirs..
Sim City, the Sims brings something psycological, and the results
scare me. What about Zelda? I still play some of those... and uhm
Populous, yeah and Dungeon Keeper 2.. those games and sacrifice have
the amazing ability to have battles that *seem* much grander and all
than many of those total war ones, all because of good sound effects,
gotta love them and Sacrifice, well enought ranting...
