Wow, this actually looks good. The graphics looks "old school", but very smooth and modern at the same time.

I guess that this is not RPG where I can play as single character, but another party-based?

I don't think you can really put DOSbox into "linux games", especially since most of them are abandoware and GOG just put standard dosbox config with them.

OAD can't really compete in terms of quality. To me it seems that they concentrate too much on engine and technologies behind, without doing a good game design and trying to make game fun. Last time I looked, the sheep farming was still not implemented.

I share rather negative opinion of Stretch611.

I am currently playing Domminons 4, its great game that will last for ages. Especially due to some really crazy mods and "mods" and because it is really complex game where even after 500 hours, you are still newbie.

I am playing Skyrim through Wine, as always, trying new mods, new character builds...

I have been in some crave for ancient ages RTS recently. Unfortunately, there are not many.

I kind of like a few games from Slytherine, like Spartan, stand alone expansion Spartan: Gates of Troy and Chariots of War. I have managed to get Gates of Troy working through wine (it didn't worked before). They really need to make sequel for these games. Its similar gem like Knights of Honor. Smaller, but deceptively complex games with a lot of choice.

I have also tried to install Rome: Total War, but it crashes on start, so if anyone knows how to make it work on wine... Shame that Rome 2 was not ported to Linux. I need to look again at Attila.

If anyone have suggestion for good (so no 0AD:P) ancient/bronze game RTS/TB, especially if in Mesopotamia or so (less Rome-only please), I would welcome it.

Quoting: Purple Library Guy

Quoting: ColomboIt still lacks tons of content, especially in the midgame. There isn't really that much to do, only useless clicking when you are trying to manage stuff, that should have been automated in the first place.

Part of the problem is the insistence on "pure" real time. I wish there was a sort of "skip time to the next alert" button.

I don't think so. Stellaris is plagued by so much problems that are common to TB strategies as well (in fact, one of the reason why later turn in TB strategies takes so much time is because they often don't do automation of stuff).

Problem is that they screwed it. You can see, especially at start, that Stellaris wants to be exploration game. If you had 2-5 planets, its kind of make sense. Or just star system. You could make really good game in more cramped up galaxy with much more expanded the pre-FTL game. Game based on exploration, first inside your own solar system and so on.

But they insisted on huge galaxies and the Grand Strategy thing, so the combat is boring, it contains a lot of other boring underdeveloped subsystems (I am sure they will "correct" a lot of it in DLCs, but screwed up Paradox DLC policy is another totally different topic).

You can see that with every patch, they are trying to correct this. They are adding superthings at the end, galactic events, megastructures... But there is still this midgame that is boring, especially since weapons and ship design unfortunately went into "Go for the troops with most pips" thing.

Why I am angry?
They have strong 2 hours of game. Then it starts to be boring. Once you play it again, you will get most of the same events as last time at start, so it starts to be boring.

But because you played it more than 2 hours, you can't return the game any more.

Paradox used to be company that I used to trust, not any more.
