I have the sneaking suspicion that one of the character designers had an infatuation with Doctor Doom, this character from the main menu of Kohan II: Kings of War has quite a striking resemblance to him

Okay, Divinity 2: Ego Draconis is just too busted to play, maybe in the future when I'm more willing to install the fan patches that supposedly fix it I'll give it another chance, but for now I'm going to shelve it
So I am now switching to something that could be interesting for a video and replaying the obscure #realtimestrategy Kohan II: Kings of War, for those curious, it can be seen as a more complex version of the first LotR: Battle for Middle Earth

Switched cloud storage providers and I decided that while waiting for my files to be downloaded to my local machine, I went ahead and fired up #RedAlert2 7vs1 AI.

Okay, I've finished #AgeofDarkness my final judgment is: mostly positive, if you want a detailed explanation, here's the review I've made on steam, the text is too long for the alt-image, so here's also the link if you have a screen reader

I've done a bit of a cleanup in my Steam Wishlist, thirty or so games were removed, half of them are games that were announced but got eventually abandoned, or games I hoped would get better with updates but never did
Also, I think I figured out what caused those stutters in #AgeofDarkness
The game was made in Unreal Engine 5 😑
I have the creeping sensation that the stuttering in #AgeOfDarkness is mainly provoked by the subtitles when the characters speak, I've just beaten a level with few dialogs, and it almost never lagged, how does it happen that your subtitles are slowing down the entire thing!?
Homeworld is a space-based real-time strategy game where you lead the Kushan exiles to reclaim their homeworld after their planet is destroyed. You build fleets, gather resources, and navigate 3D space to defeat enemies. The game features a powerful soundtrack by Paul Ruskay.

Continuing my journey into #AgeOfDarkness I've discovered more prickly edges
For starters, units don't tend to stay glued to one place when idle, and can get carried away, which is bad if you want to keep formations orderly
Second, despite having a Radeon 6700xt, Ryzen 5700g and 32 gb of 2666 mhz ram, I've encountered some annoying stutters, hopefully setting the graphics at medium should fix this
I've decided to pick the RTS #AgeOfDarkness up, I bought this during its EA period because I liked the concept of a game like They Are Billions set in a fantasy setting, but I was a little dubious because the post-release reviews are lamenting the presence of game-breaking bugs, so I wanted to see for myself once and for all
So far so okay, apart for some janky animations and lacking audio
I'm finishing up #SupremeCommander 2, only a couple of levels left, neat RTS with bonker size battles, and okay story, though one of the moment that left me speechless was the appearance of this fire breathing Dinosaur, it was so random
#dungeonsAndDragons and #realtimestrategy mixed into one in #Dragonshard
When I first played this game, it clearly gave me #Warcraft3 inspired elements. Unfortunately it did not have custom maps.
I do like that battles can take from both the ground and dungeons.

At "Amiga Games that Weren't" there is information and a preview version of "HiWar", a Red Alert clone that was later released as "Tridonis" on the PC.
Es gibt endlich ein neues Command & Conquer: Tempest Rising
Stand by for #Homeworld Classic test run...
OpenGL enabled... Adjust to highest possible resolution.
Pixelation within acceptable parameters...
All gameplay tests green.
We're clear to go.
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD.
Who would've thought that wanting to play #Homeworld1 Classic would be such a literal odyssey in space... (Courtesy of Gearbox who, if they already have to remaster HW1 in a wholly different engine, can't even sell a playable version of the classic game... 🙄)
Anyway, after much trial and error and some help from my friend @sebulon (shout-out to you 😉), I can FINALLY enjoy my beautiful retro starships in their full glory.
And thus, the REAL journey to the homeworld begins... 😌
(Was about to say "keelah se'lai" at the end until I remembered "oops, wrong game" - or is it?...)

I kind of miss RTS games with a great single player campaign. Personal gold standard are of course Homeworld, Starcraft and Warcraft III for me. Using the framework of realtime strategy to tell a story can make sense for a variety of stories, but - and I might be wrong with this - the last ones I can remember were, I don't know, perhaps Grey Goo and Halo Wars 2, who at least had a great presentation.
🇬🇧 Well, that was quick - apparently, I only need to wish for #Homeworld to be on sale for it to happen. 😂
Anyway, I treated myself to the HW Remastered Collection during #SteamSpringSale, so I'm probably going to start my journey into outer space soon! 😊
🇩🇪 Tja, das ging schnell - scheinbar brauch ich mir nur zu wünschen, dass Homeworld auf Rabatt ist, damit es wie auf Bestellung passiert. 😂
Jedenfalls hab ich mir die HW Remastered Collection im #Steam Spring Sale gegönnt, also werde ich wahrscheinlich bald zu meinem Abenteuer im Weltraum aufbrechen! 😊

🇬🇧 And that's it for #HomeworldDesertsOfKharak!
My first foray into the #Homeworld series, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
It's a really good #RTS, although it took me some time to get used to some of the mechanics.
In any case, I'm looking forward to playing Homeworld 1 - eventually, as I haven't bought it yet. 😅
Till then, I think I will play around a bit in DoK’s Skirmish mode.
🇩🇪 Und das war's mit Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak!
Das erste Mal, dass ich mich an ein Spiel der Homeworld-Reihe gewagt habe, und ich habe es sehr genossen!
Es ist ein echt gutes RTS, obwohl ich einige Zeit gebraucht habe, um mich an einige Mechaniken zu gewöhnen.
Auf jeden Fall freue ich mich darauf, Homeworld 1 zu spielen - irgendwann in Zukunft, da ich es noch nicht gekauft habe. 😅
Bis dahin werde ich wohl noch ein wenig im Skirmish-Mode von DoK herumspielen.
