Quoting: PatolaWarhammer 40K: Mechanicus is the first game to do justice to the fiction [External Link]

My take: besides the fidelity to actual 40k lore, the most interesting part of the gameplay is that they don't use cover mechanics. So the game is quite agile, you don't stagger your match by holding your units in place. And of course, it has lots of ways to compensate and substitute the lack of cover.

Oh yeah, now that you mention it. I never even reflected that it was designed without cover mechanics when I played. :O

Suffice to say, I apparently never missed them.

Neat!

I agree with ya Liam, Mechanicus is pretty incredible in terms of atmosphere, and I am certainly posed to play a whole lot more of it.

For this weekend though it will be a mix of Crusader Kings 2, Path of Exile and Final Fantasy 14. :D

Also hope you feel better soon! Take care, Liam!

Ooh, first game I got for my first computer, got it from a neighour who could not complete it and got bored of it.

I had yet to learn English and was only in fourth grade, so I never managed to complete it despite trying a number of times. Might be a good time to give it another try. :)

Sounds cool! Kinda do want to dig into this game, but I have it blacklisted until we get cross-platform multiplayer.

Do we know the "exact" reason for the delay? Is it primarily a technical problem, a financial problem or a political problem?

All that said, Civilization games tend to need to mature a bit so waiting isn't really killing me... just slowly torturing me. :whistle:
