CanMan friend me. I have dungeons of dredmor for you
As of last night we already are?
Also, who is oneangrypossum is? I see you have a couple fellow PA friends and a gift thank you from Darlan, so I'm not questioning your legitimacy. I'm just curious who you are.
I had to rejoin to get the holiday group achievement. Or maybe I could have waited 5 minutes and not assisted in the destruction of steam. The group number grew by 20k in about 2 seconds.
I'm buying that as soon as it'll let me. Thanks for pointing it out! I'd been waiting for something to use the $1.32 in my Steam wallet on, and I loves me some Defense Grid.
Also guys, if you want a fun city builder? Tropico 4 is hard to beat. It has a campaign mode, which modern builders seem to lack?, and it has a ton of humor. Its not superduper crazy deep (Build a power plant, a certain radius gets power. no building power lines or anything), but it is fun and the politics make it really interesting. You going to help out Europe because they give you a ton of trade money, but the action will piss off America who are not assassinating you?
Is it a good time for someone looking for a moderately casual Sim City experience?
I think so? But I havent spent a lot of time with a simcity game in a while. If you tell me what you like about Sim City I can compare it. It definitely is a lot more casual than simcity. It lacks a lot of the super tiny tweaks of simcity like tax rates and also no complex infrastructure (Pretty much just take care of roads).
The main draw of the game (for me) is you have to keep everyone happy, including other countries. If you piss off major powers like US or Russia, they can invade and replace you. If you piss of countries like Japan, they wont invade you but they can put up trade embargos and things like that. From the interior, you could piss off local faction leaders and spawn a rebellion. If you don't take care of your people's needs, they will be more likely to join factions.
Oh also a lot of the fun comes from being a dictator. If a rebellion starts? Its very easy to hire your secret police to kill the leaders. You'll lose respect from the faction, but the rebellion will also probably stop. Need more uneducated works to fill up your farms? Announce an edict that bans contraception on the island and open your immigration to anyone!

if you don't have it (sure you do) stalker is one of the best games I've played.
Which I'm already a member of.
My already-got Payday achievement is pre-popped, but the group one isn't. FUN TIMES.
