Title: Mid Week Sale: Kalypso Strategy Pack Post by: Ginaz on May 10, 2011, 03:19:54 PM If you're into strategy games, Steam has a sale on now featuring 17 games. The most notable games on the list is the Tropico series.

Not sure about $30 for the whole shebang, though. Title: Re: Mid Week Sale: Kalypso Strategy Pack Post by: Paelos on May 11, 2011, 08:38:02 AM Darkstar One was pretty fun. It's a little on the grindy side for trading, but I had a good time with it.
Title: Re: Mid Week Sale: Kalypso Strategy Pack Post by: Sky on May 11, 2011, 01:23:24 PM For $2.50, I went for Darkstar One. Also includes Patrician 3 and The Great Art Race (which I thought looked interesting, too). Money is tight enough that I don't really want to drop even $7.50 on D3 and Tropico never grabbed me. The Roman stuff looks cool, too.

Title: Re: Mid Week Sale: Kalypso Strategy Pack Post by: K9 on May 11, 2011, 04:38:45 PM How about the Commando's series? I remember them being fun way back when, but I only really played a bit of the first one.

Title: Re: Mid Week Sale: Kalypso Strategy Pack Post by: K9 on May 12, 2011, 06:36:38 AM You're welcome.
Also, I'm discovering just how bad the Commandos games are. Serious rose-tinted glasses effect :ye_gods: Title: Re: Mid Week Sale: Kalypso Strategy Pack Post by: Morfiend on May 12, 2011, 08:38:55 AM I bought Tropico 3 + expansion pack for $4.99 on a whim. I dont know if I will every play it.
Title: Re: Mid Week Sale: Kalypso Strategy Pack Post by: Paelos on May 12, 2011, 08:44:23 AM I really really liked Tropico 3.
The only problem is figuring out how farms actually work in the beginning, and then figuring out the transportation woes of your city. Title: Re: Mid Week Sale: Kalypso Strategy Pack Post by: Strazos on May 12, 2011, 03:42:23 PM I too really enjoyed Tropico 3 once I figured out that the garages work as hubs with AE service coverage and that you really have to pay attention to local conditions when planning and planting farms.
Shame that I could never get Tourism to work right. I could build the docks/airport and the bungalows and hotels would get booked, but the attractions never made piss for money. Balancing between hordes of low-end laborers and having too many educated workers with not enough jobs + no one to do grunt work can be challenging at times. Title: Re: Mid Week Sale: Kalypso Strategy Pack Post by: Ginaz on May 12, 2011, 05:56:29 PM I bought Darkstar 1, Tropico 3: Absolute Power and Tropico Reloaded. The Darkstar 1 deal also came with Patrician III and The Great Art Race for free. Not sure what those games are like, but they're free so who cares? Although, some people do seem to care if they're given free games. :facepalm:

I tried to get into Patrician, but I do enough of that shit at work. |
