It was also in the second(?) Humble Bundle.

So Napoleonic Wars is on Steam now and is currently more than the compelete pack, 10 dollars for the "dlc".  So what exactly is going on here, wasn't NW a free mod a few days ago?

Alright, thanks for the help. Always had a soft spot for "true" horror games even if they are short fan games. I was worried I was reading through spoilers of in game events or something.

EDIT: After reading a whole bunch of the SCP and finding a working copy of SCP-087 I have to conclude that it's all fucking awesome.

You could technically placate them by killing enough of their population/injurying them that they have no will/ability to fight. The extermination part could just be cleaning up the stragglers.

Why not link direct to the source?

"Their fist big hit was the incredibly popular Baulder's Gate series, a Diablo style RPG"
I don't think I ever raged harder. I'm sure that was put in just to troll me. 

As for a scheming game there isn't really that much that offers it from a "role playing" perspective. There's a couple of sandbox-esce games like Crusader Kings II where you can use scheming and cleaver diplomacy to work your way up the ranks/complete your goals.

If you're looking for something that isn't morally black and white there's a couple things I'd reccomend (although most have already come up):
Early Bioware: already been stated but Planescape Toment is wonderful, as is Baldur's Gate.
The Witcher Series: good cRPG series where nothing is quite as it seems.
Icepick Lodge games: Pathologic and The Void will leave you confused and doubting the concept of morality itself .. if you can keep up with what's happening. :p

EDIT: Forget to mention there's a whole bunch of "paranoia" games. I heard The Ship is meant to be good. Basically you get tasked to kill another player without him/her finding out while you preform mundain actions like eating food and showering on a cruise ship.

Nice. But why didn't you just take London yourself? Aren't you allies with Ireland?

Sadly by the time I got there from Italy the Swedes had already landed troops in London.  I also believe I forget to metion Ireland has taken Celtic Brittany.

I decided I'll be trying to stay out of the Frenco-Irish-Swedish conflict as much as possible. Attacking each other only helps Jesus and by proxy me.
I think I'll be [trying to] refrain from playing EU3 in the next week, real life issues and all those boring things, but if I do I'll try and keep you all updated.

I'm acutally considering doing this again and making an AAR out of it if it turns out to be viable. It seems like a very good story, shame I'll never get the same luck as Ireland forming and vassalising Austria.

Europa Universalis III, Victoria II, Hearts of Irons II-III, Crusader Kings II. All Paradox games. Realtime grand srats. that will always test your mind. I'm personally rather found of EU3 but it depends on what time period/how indepth you like your games.

So on my latest map I decided I'll play as the Pope and do crazy shit.
My goal is to create the SHIELD OF FAITH (patent pending). The SHIELD OF FAITH is taking over all the costal provences of Europe and encasing them in a protective shield of PURE JESUS. No heretic or heathen thoughts can get in and any created within the confinds of the SHIELD OF FAITH will be dealt with quickly.

My Progress:
I've already united Italy and land locked Castile.
The North African Arabs are my vassals who worship the one true god.
France hasn't made much headway since I took the southern provences.
Bohemia and most of the HRE has collapsed thanks to a rare vassalisation of a weakened Austria who got back a ton of land by rebels.
England was capped by Ireland who is my current butt buddy, the only thing stopping them forming Brytenwalda is France who have taken London, I'm hoping this keeps them tied up enough so they don't start colonising/out navy me.
I forsee Ireland being my biggest threat since they're going to be the hardest to land lock and they'll be the first ones to colonise. Sweden will be a close second. I'll be waiting for an excuse to take Iceland to slow down their colonial abilities.

My goals:
So my first goal is to try and keep the glorious European master race out of the dirty pagan lands as long as possible and hopefully stop them colonising at all, don't want pagan thoughts coming back to the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.
I'm unsure what to do with with the Middle East and Asia, they're not Europeans and therefore I'm unsure if they deserve the glory of Jesus. I might just convert Russia (when/if they form) to the one true god and let them spread the faith if the Slavic people choose to do so.
As for the New World I think they're going to be beyond saving. I'll start the Great Inquisition and reduce the native populations to nothing and don't let anyone set foot on that terrible Devil land.

Any recommendations what else I should do with this terribly evil Papal State?
