    It gets fiddly managing items on cooldowns in your warehouses. Is there a way to say, put worker drones automatically in a slot provided I have some spare, or do I have to manually keep an eye on that sh*t?

    And German players usually complain that the newer (Ubisoft) Anno games are dumbed down and not fiddly enough
    Although I think this one and the onw before (1404?) were considered slightly better than the other Ubisoft ones.

    Same goes for the Settlers series of games by the way ^^

    I have no clue anyone more. My mind wrote over Anno gameplay memories.

    Great looking ship. I have been so tempted to play STO but know I will become uber addicted and everything will fall by the wayside lol

    I'm still playing through Doom. I didn't realize it was that long either. Quite surprising because I don't remember it being so long of a game!

    Available on steam by any chance?

    Nope. I think there is only one game released by Microsoft on steam. AoEIII.

    I like complexity, but there is no notification that your item is about to expire and having to reslot it constantly is inefficient

    Available on steam by any chance?


    Probably not.

    I also went back and played doom a while ago (Doom->Doom2). It was fun as hell, and was surprisingly difficult. I cant believe I used to play that game with the keyboard when I was like, 14. Games hold your hand so much these days, they just don't make games like that any more.

    hehe i hear you. When it came out free to play i downloaded it with very low expectations. But the game is actually pretty cool and fun.

    Bummer.

    And yeah it is and still is to some degree. And I played that game when I was younger, still amazed I beat the damned thing. And yeah they really don't. I like going back through everything trying to find the secret stuff that I somehow managed to find when I was younger.

    STO f2p??? I'm tempted as I've always hated Star Trek but I am kind of into it now with the new movies coming out.

    The only oldies I replay regularily are UFO(X-COM) and first two Fallouts. Same for various Stalkers, but those are not old enough yet to count.
