Seven in the morning
Well, thanksgiving break is over and now there's one week of classes and then midterms. Everything moves way too quickly. It feels like I never have enough time to prepare for anything.
If you're looking for a fun strategy game, let me recommend Greed Corp. It's a turn based game based around eliminating the other players. It's a tile based game, and that aspect reminds me heavily of physical board games like Carcassonne or Settlers of Catan. The build options are very limited in Greed Corp, though. You can build and destruct harvesters, build armories that let you build units (of which there is a single kind) and carriers, and turrets.
On the surface, it seems pretty simple, but one of the unique parts about this game is that the tiles have layers, and certain actions can strip these layers until that tile is destroyed. By the end of a specific match, the level will look nothing like what you started with. This can obviously really mess up transportation or harvesting plans, and so is a very valuable or detestable strategy.
I bought it for $2.50 since it is on sale until noon today central time over at http://steampowered.com. Normally it's only ten dollars, which is still a pretty good price for this game.
And now off to campus for thirteen hours.
