its based on the civ 5 engine, 1upt, 8 civs i think and 3 ideologies, tech web instead of tech tree, will be "immediately familiar" to people who played civ 5 but also civ 5 strategies wont work

is that the one that doesn't allow stacking units so it's like one of those 15-square numbers games to move poo poo around?

civ 2 is the best civ

alpha centauri is great too but a little too complicated (raising terrain affects rainfall somewhere else and then ???????)

the game should be more like risk and less like starcraft

i once used terraforming in alpha centauri to starve out enemy cities, or in one case, i dropped the terrain enough to sink a land bridge that the believers were attacking me over

if you buy mario kart on the eshop, nintendo will give you one of these four veegees for free:
- Pikmin 3
- New Super Mario Bros. U
- The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD
- Wii Party U


at least two of those are fantastic games, and one is really good

Friend of mine gave me Baldur's Gate and I even still have the five discs right here. I'm going to just play this blind, but I remember playing the first part maybe 20 minutes in, where the group got to an inn, and some pissed off wizard just kept annihilating my party and I quit.

Anything to keep in mind or way past that part easily?

if it's the inn in nashkel after you have xan (after clearing the nashkel mines), use xan's Charm Person spell to charm the spellcaster, have him cast a spell at himself, re-charm him and repeat

there might be one at the friendly arm inn too, but i don't remember that fight as being too difficult

the one outside the nashkel inn is a bitch though

the one outside friendly arm is when you walk out and some guy casts an illusion of himself and it can be a tough fight if you dont micro your dudes
