The Thanksgiving holiday will be here soon, so I have to do prep for a family holiday. That means cleaning, shopping, buying mints for pillows, etc. so there won’t be a lot of new content here for the next ten days.<\/p>\n

I will, however, give you a few incomplete thoughts about things I am playing.<\/p>\n

1) Asian Dynasties<\/a>\"\"<\/em> is a good expansion, but not as good as Warchiefs<\/a>\"\"<\/em> was.<\/p>\n

2) Armageddon Empires<\/em> keeps getting patched and I’m always a patch behind.<\/p>\n

3) Napoleon’s Campaigns<\/em>, the new game from AGEOD (the makers of the excellent Birth of America<\/a>\"\"<\/em> and very good American Civil War<\/a>\"\"<\/em>) is a little piece of sunshine in this very gray month.<\/p>\n

4) The Fall From Heaven mod<\/a> for Civilization IV<\/em> is still more color than balance. The AI has no clue what it is doing, but you get to see and make lots of fancy toys. I expect this is a lot more fun in multiplayer, but I can only handle one PBEM game at a time.<\/p>\n

5) I still haven’t installed Total War: Kingdoms<\/a>\"\"<\/em>, probably because I keep meaning to go back to my Europa Barabarorum<\/a> game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
