I've found a ranch works decently to train performer. Provided you have a bunch of creatures hanging out there.

Other Games / Re: Your Favorite "loot system"
« on: June 22, 2012, 04:03:22 pm »
The 3 most disparate games I can think of that fit:
Diablo 2's Eastern Sun mod. Sets/uniques could be broken down into crafting components that let you add modifiers of your choice to any gear you liked. The end result was a set you made that has exactly what you wanted for the character you wanted to play. Win.
Another Diablo 2 mod, Median XL was pretty sweet in that regard.

I like the mount and blade loot system for dumping a whole bunch of loot at you after the battle so you don't have to go look through everything.

I liked baldurs gate etc. For getting everything the enemies were carrying. Same with DF (though you get some bodyparts as bonus here :D).

Men of War/Faces of War/Soldiers: Heroes of WWII. Has a pretty similar system too, but you don't really get to keep it for very long with the mission based equipment.

Silent storm was pretty sweet too with the large amount of guns it threw at you.

Also, does Evil Genius count?

How did France get owned? I've never seen that happen before. To be honest, i've never seen England take that much land either.
With "death and taxes" mod England's in a much better position I think.

Girlinhat, you got kleptomania or something?
You say that as if it were a bad thing.
If it's not nailed down they probably didn't need it.

Dungeon keeper, Evil genius and Overlord (like others already mentioned) all have visual piles of coin and gold lying around.

If you want more mount & blade I think the new version of the Prophesy of pendor mod (3.5) should be out any day soon. They added a little more things to spend your coin on compared to the original game.

Perhaps trading games like patrician or port royale would work? You're a merchant and run ships around to buy and sell goods and amass as much wealth as you can.

There's also The guild 2 I guess. Although I don't remember which one of the expansions and stuff was less buggy than the others. Although I think it was mostly multiplayer problems.

Whenever I play Elona I end up grabbing everything not nailed down and collecting all kinds of random things I'll never get around to actually use.

Don't think you can see it in the regular game, but it has been addad in some of the forks (at least it was there in ELM when I tried that).

Necro powers go!


So, there was a new expansion announced a week or so ago called "Hearts of Iron III: Their Finest Hour". Will apparently be out "later 2012" if everything goes well.
http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?612134-E3-2012-New-Expansion-for-Hearts-of-Iron-III-Announced!

Looks pretty solid but guess we'll have to wait and see for more details.

I ran errands from the bounty-board coupled with some cargo last character, it worked pretty well since there tend to be a few people/items going the same direction. And you get platinum coins as well.

Yeah just noticed 2 cure mutation potions in the wizard shop, drank them but didn't cure the thing i wanted it to, tried to save scum and then the potions were gone :P. Guess i will invest.
If you find them lying around you might want to store a few for emergency use. It's not always easy to be prepared for everything in the beginning but it can come in useful later.

It kind of feels like the list gets longer and longer every time. It's really hard to pick one out and vote.

Good job keeping rack of the worst ones anyway!

Game seems to lag horribly every few seconds for more time than it actually runs for me. Not sure what to think of the game itself yet. ???

Prettyful animations though.

Just got to 30 and checked out the tribunal. Is it normal that the reports you get to look at are from january?  ???
It could have been just a few of someones reports, but I can't remember.

Love the game, still play it from time to time with a friend or two.
The massive scale of some maps, large variety of units and the cheaper ones still being useful throughout the game is probably my favourite parts.

Didn't like the sequel, it's a decent game I guess. Or it would be if it weren't supposed to be SupCom 2.

Been playing around with it a bit now. It's nice in the way that some of the problems with dominions (micromanagement) is gone. But it also feels like a lot the things I liked about dominions is not here (that nice combat system, huge variation of units and spells, so many players at once etc.).

Distant worlds feels a little like EU3 in space in my opinion. They're actually quite different, pehaps it's just the realtime thing?
