If they already have Vulkan up and running, I'd hope they won't need for to long to at least release a Linux alpha or beta. (:

Quoting: Brisse
Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTThe paradox titles are more round based strategy, aren't they?
They are technically real time but they play a bit like turn based strategy because you will be using pause a lot while micromanaging things.
Thanks mate, I see. Actually I'm looking forward to something SCII-like with a huge user base and working ranked quick match ladder games.

I'm not really a big fan of Total War - so I did not count them in. The paradox titles are more round based strategy, aren't they? Also yes, Warhammer ... the issues I got with it is there's no Linux <-> Windows cross-platform support. Therefor it's kind of dead for me unfortunately. :'(

Fianally - the maybe first game to Suppoer DX12 and Vulkan on Windows and there'll be Vulkan on Linux now: Very good for cross-platform benchmarks! Also, it will be the first real AAA RTS on Linux that I'm aware of. :)

Sunday Linux Gaming Wrap-up

I agree about the stability part. Arch breaks more than probably any other linux distro I've used. I'm pretty spoiled by gentoo though. If something breaks, it was pretty much my fault.
Interesting, I almost never have those issues with plain Arch. I did use Manjaro in the past as well, at least I was interested how well it performs. But while I did have several issues with derivates of Arch, I almost never get those with the original Arch.

Except for the breakage of a single program like banshee or fuse in thunar in the past.

I still do love and prefer Arch over any other OS for it's up to date packages, drivers, kernel, it's slickness and beauty of simplicity.

openage, the open source game engine for Age of Empires II and more games is advancing

Quoting: WendigoWould be cool if they took the assets from the new AoE-Windows10-Store-only game so that a lot more people could play it with modern graphics.
But that is AOE 1 - does the engine support this? Also: You might need to own the game yourself to get those assets - no matter if AOE1 / 2 / HD / 1 4k.
