I saw another one at lunch: Carnival King.

Crusader Kings. Is that RTS or TBS? Surely not FPS...

Oh yes, i should have thought of this. looked at the paradox forum - looks really good, i think they have an excellent sense of how medeival politial struggles took place.

Harry: well, im just impatient.

Crusader Kings is based on the EU engine, so presumably like EU it will be a real time game, but not one that resembles standard RTS in any way.

There is also the FPS Kingpin, (not about ten pin bowling ) where you take on the head of a crime syndicate.

I only remember the boardgame kingmaker (war of the roses - heavy political emphasis) - i seem to recall that it was cool.

Is there a PC version? Is it any good?

While based on the EU engine, it's a completely new one after what the lead programmer from Snowball have said. But it will be like EU regarding RTS, but I'd rather call it a turnbased RTS.(you'll understand if you've played EU1/2.)

We used to play kingmaker quite a bit. A typical good avalon hill board war game in medieval times. Unfortunately, like most of those games, it took more that a few hours to set up and play. Never heard of a PC version.

I recall playing it at the war gaming club mentioned in another thread - and i also recall a long set-up all kinds of nobility, office, etc cards to hand out, as well as units and royal figures to set out on a map of the Brit Isles. Thats why a PC port would be nice.


And I am very pleased that this post is about Kingmaker - for obscure mathematical reasons, it has done just that.

Kingmaker (the boardgame) was awesome. I used to play with my brother and a couple friends of his - great games of backstabbing and such. We'd set it up Friday evening and make a weekend out of it. Much fun.

Never tried the PC version though. Maybe I'll download it and have a look.

its an abandonware site. Some dispute about whether that should be considered piracy. but IIUC poly doestn allow links.

It is an abandonware site..........which makes it not out and out piracy, so your confusion is understandable Rah. But Ming has been quite consistent in his dealing with links to that particular site.

Yeah... that's one of the "Grey area sites".

However, while some of the games at that site are indeed legal to download because the publishers have indeed GIVEN PERMISSION... many of the games available on that site do not have such permission from the publishers.

Yeah... I know that those games are no longer supported... and that in many cases... the publisher doesn't care or enforce their copywrite anymore... But since it does provide games that are technically illegal to download... any link to that site is not allowed...
