Excellent fella.

guys, get COSSACKS game. ITS AWESOME. now I just wish it had russian language as well. and that my friend would hurry and gift it to me.

+1 Agree 100%. Dragon Pass is deceivingly addictive and Age of wonder shadow magic (only one I played) is a great strategy game.

Thanks, very kind. Although I would prefer if GOG could do it. For them it would be much less effort. Only 1-2 lines of code in a script and fixed forever.

you know what really sucks about this promo?
that you called it supremacy, and that STAR WARS SUPREMACY ,
a great old game , STILL is not in your line of games,
despite MANY requests.

Star Wars Rebellion / Supremacy is a LucasArts game, so now owned by Disney, who so far have been unwilling to put any of their games on GOG. 4 of the top 6 requested games on the community wishlist are other LucasArts games, so if GOG could sign them, they no doubt would... but when the rightsholder isn't interested, what do you expect them to do? Offer the game anyway, and be sued into oblivion?

We should be OK there. Bethesda hasn't shown any interest in putting Oblivion up either. 8)

Haha, I actually thought of that Bethesda game just as I'd finished typing the sentence.

Don't really mind that Oblivion isn't here, but Morrowind and Fallout New Vegas... those I'd buy again if Zenimax/Beth could somehow be convinced to give DRM-Free a shot.

You're welcome!

You're welcome too!
Thanks for the advice!

more likely funny question for those who know the game and some hacking tricks:

as for UPLINK: hacker elite - is possible to learn to hack a little by playing this game?

Nope. Everything is done by a software that you have to purchase... perhaps that's why the game disappointed me - not that I expect any sort of hacking manual but I thought there would be some code breaking elements and similar puzzles. Don't get me wrong, the game can still be a little tricky because you have to figure out how to upgrade your software and computer properly, how to behave to minimize the chance to be caught and so on. Plus the plot line is quite enjoyable. But no hacking per se.

KoDP is infinitely superior to Long Live the Queen. Their mechanics differ substantially. LLTQ is something of a puzzle game - every event is scripted, and there's an optimum path you can take in order to get the best results. So the gameplay, past the initial introductory playthrough(s) in which you see the basic story, is to do random trial and error until you find the correct sequence of activities needed to get the correct stats to pass the scripted stat checks. I find this type of gameplay quite mediocre, and it's sad to see the developer using it in more than one game (Magical Diary works in the same way).

KoDP, in contrast, gives you events randomly but the decisions available and their results are most often quite logical, if not for 21st century morality. The game goes through decades/centuries, there are 5 seasons per year, you get to make 2 regular decisions every season, and usually get 1 random event per season, in addition to events and event chains that your actions thus far have triggered. The regular decisions are the basic management gameplay - deciding how to use your land, how the patrols are set up, sending emissaries, sending trade caravans, going on raids, building fortifications, managing your workforce, making sacrifices, deciding which blessing to dedicate shrines to, going on heroquests, sending exploration parties, etc. The majority of gameplay comes down to profit and risk - you have many variables to look after (livestock, food, trade goods, population, magic, reputation, relations with every other clan and cult, etc.) and almost all decisions, both regular and during events, result in some change to those variables, while most carry some risk of failure. Your job, as the ethereal spirit guiding the clan ring, is to weigh the risks and potential benefits and make decisions in the overall interest of the clan. Failure is inevitable, but never catastrophic or irreversible. Your goal is not to achieve success at every opportunity, but for the sum of your decisions, whether they bring failure or success, to result in a net gain of variables, thus elevating your clan.

The beauty of the game, and the thing that makes it one of the best games ever, is the presentation. The art style, music and writing work together to immerse you and engage you - you won't be thinking about maximizing variables while playing, you'll be thinking about taking care of your precious clan! And the game world is very convincing, occasionally presenting you with situations where you'll have to choose between doing the right thing and acquiring profit for the clan. And you will want to do the right thing. The level of engagement is a double-edged sword, however, as a massive failure, such as the sudden loss of a young or middle aged ring member with heroic skills - someone who still had decades of being a living legend before their natural death, could easily drive you to quit the playthrough in anger and sadness, even though this is a multigenerational game and no single character is really critical to success. For that reason, I recommend saving the game before every high risk activity, like exploration and heroquesting.

Anything specific you want to know about Nexus?

In general, it's a pretty good game about managing a fleet of starships in various situations. What bugged me about it is that there's no proper progression early on - you keep getting your fleet changed between missions, not giving you the chance to enjoy building it up over time. This might change in the latter stages of the game, but I didn't get that far.

+1 for the detailed reviews, even if.. my post is almost 1 month old! (so those promos are gone) :P
In the end, I bought both KotDP and LLtQ (this one yesterday, luckly for only 2.5$ lol)

Yeah, I meant to write that during the sale, but I didn't have time so I kept putting it off. Even though the promo was long over when I finally got to it, I figured I'd post it anyway since you and anyone else that reads it could use the info for future promos.
