[...] talking about Scientology, Cryptic Comet release their Cults Of The Wasteland free mini-add-on for our favourite turn-based strategy game of 2007. That is, the ever-lovin’ child of Vic Davis, Armageddon Empires. I love it. It was Tom [...]

Cryptic Commet owes you one. I just bought the game. That’s the second indie game I’ve bought over the internet in my whole life (first one was darwinia), since I usually don’t play games that cost less then 20.000.000$ to develop. Can’t be bothered with that indie commie punk stuff usually.

The power of RPS compelled me!

I play it pretty much solely in Windowed mode.

Andrew: I still haven’t. Sorry, man. I’m enormously behind on everything.

Just in case people haven’t spotted this, there’s a Windowed_Mode update you can download from the website. It does exactly what it says on the tin.

“Okami: The “F” key is the automatic roll key. It saves a whole lot of clicking.”
Damnit, I learn this NOW?

I love the game, for many reasons mentioned above. The only thing I don’t understand are the Xenopods. They are not only the only team I’ve ever beaten, they are the only team it takes me 30 turns to create a unit.

So you’re saying that a well-timed email from the developer can get you playing a game again?

Takes notes…

Thanks for writing about this here, and getting EG to publish about it. I suppose I need to read DQ more often, but there are just so many hours in the day and…blah blah blah. In the end, I thought I kept a fairly good handle on videogames and I’m genuinely ashamed not to have heard about Armageddon Empires back in July.

Awooga.

My Gillenometer is reading dangerously high levels of NGJ. Please evacuate the area immediately.

Agreed – how difficult would it have been to make the attack button switch to roll dice under your cursor? Having to move the mouse several times for one dice roll (which could amount to nothing) is one of few flaws in this otherwise highly addictive game. I would love to see apatch improve upon some of these interface issues, so i can get even more games completed even more quickly.
