Probably the biggest 2D RTS around, Rusted Warfare has a major new release

Quoting: Purple Library GuyIt's playing Mars from Holst's Planets as the background music. I like it already. I always wonder why that doesn't happen more, being as how it's the best SF warlike music ever written and it's out of copyright.
Can a specific version still not be copyrighted ? Like the song itself is out of copyright but a certain musician/orchestra playing it is still copyrighted ?

I sometimes wish AGS would get a proper successor supported on all platforms :unsure:

I would argue the premium vehicles do occasionally give you an edge over players on an equal BR. Not a massive edge, but an edge regardless, at least until Gaijin screws with game balance. And players moving onto new vehicles are objectively at a worse position than players who can pay their way through important component upgrades. You can argue that's just speeding up the grind, but when it's entirely possible that upgrading to a new vehicle might be a downgrade to your combat effectiveness for multiple games unless you pay up, I don't really find it particularly convincing.

And all this without mentioning the SL traps you can accidentally upgrade yourself into (yes, I played the French tanks and I had to go back to Italy to afford driving my tanks again), most likely intentionally pushing you into games with/against stronger vehicles to create psychological incentive to upgrade, lootbox mechanics and all the other meta-gameplay loops which prey on the players. Even by F2P metrics, WT has a pretty crappy monetization scheme and I wouldn't put a cent towards it.
You haven't played World of Tanks , have you ? :grin:
Same thing.
You get match maked 2 tiers above
So say you got your first tier 6 tank. It sports the gun from the previous tier 5 tank , and you can be match maked with tier 8 tanks. Great fun , all you can do is make them laugh.

Armored Warfare was the best since it had a co-op PVE mode where you could grind in peace. And it was fun. Game is pretty dead now sadly.

Quoting: oldrocker99enemies don't scale,
You can paint that in neon bright Hollywood-sign-sized letters on the cover :D
I absolutely hate enemy scaling in later games.
Bandits in daedric armor or glass armor. Getting killed by wolves or rats after tens of hours of gameplay , etc.

Quoting: grigiOpenMW 0.46 really was the point where it was very mature. I enjoyed it thoroughly, and for the second time, got stuck in the world of Morrowind.

It's strangely immersive for a place where nobody talks and people look like badly painted dolls. It just has a real nice charm.

I also ran many, many, mods at once, and delighted in how it containerizes them so that you can resolve conflicts easily. And then I just enjoyed it for 100+ hours with no crashes or game breaking bugs.
What mods do you recommend ? Have not really gotten into Morrowind that much.

Quoting: WJMazepasGuys, does the Hellraid expansion worth it? I only have "The Following" DLC and been wanting to get back to this game
Haven't played it but from what I've read it's very short. Not really worth the price. Maybe watch a Let's Play ?
