Oh crap. You know that feeling, when you're queen/king of the world and all of a sudden there's a revolution or palace coup or something?

The "Tiki Bonus Pack" are 50 extra levels.

My humble contribution.. Orisinal

The music in some of these games is just.. fantastic. And the games can be beyond addictive..

I'll never get those hours (days, weeks) of my life back. Had to uninstall it or .. I'd still be playing it!!

Played all those and went to Rise of Nations. Much goodness. Terra Cotta Army is the shit!


OH! And I have a subscription to gameblast, which now carries popcap games too, but because I subscribe to gameblast, I got Insaniquarium for $9.95.

I have AoM Titans. It turns the game into "first person to unleash the titan wins".

I played through AoKings, and it was a lot of fun. I installed AoMythology and for some reason I just never really got into it. I always found it more fun to go back to Kings than to try to understand the new gameplay of Mythology.

Well, not exactly

Not strictly true.

There are big bennies to getting to Titan first, but it is not the finish line unless you just want to quit there. I have been in battles where the titan lost against non-titan creature/armies. It requires the lilliputians to take advantage of the titan's very slow movement and fire range and rate. Ranged weapons, hit move hit move keep moving or you're a smoking grease stain on the map. It can and has been done. I learned it from the computer opponent and then, knowing it could be done, turned it around and whipped it in exchange the same way.

Also, the titan versus titan battles are... what... titanic, epic! After adjusting my perspective to recognize that little sprite as a human sized reference, being chased by a monster the size of a big castle was very exciting! And then to to see them whomp on each other was cooool.

Ok, calm down... get back to work.

Ok, better now.

It turns egyptian temples (my favorite) into priest producing machines. A big (read 40 or so, at 100g each) army can pull down a titan, but you gotta be ready for it....

cowhead 03-08-2005 04:09 PM

the coolest thing I ever have seen.. (well.. maybe I am just this lame.) is there was a game of AoKings where it was a team match (and yeah I was just watching..lame) where one guy was building away at his city and the other one ran around getting all the wolves to follow him, well! he rounded up about 15 of them and then led them to an opponants city, where they then decimated it... damn brilliant!... lame

cowhead 03-11-2005 03:21 AM

oh dear... I assume I'm one of the last to hear of this site... reflexive.net ?oh I just made the mistake of downloading Richochet Xtreme... oh it's pong on crack.. it reminds me of an old Coleco game (atlseast I think It was Coleco...) basically pong in space. simple yet horribly addictive, I just sat here and burned my two hour trial period.. ooohhh... shiny

Like othello meets stratego. Approach with caution. MUCH fun, haven't figured out optimal strategy yet. I am batting about .250 or less.

My wife has a Club Pogo account. The muttering and cusing and slamming of the keyboard total obscures the amount of fun she claims to be having.

And for addictions I was stuck on snood for ages.

Just played my first 5 games against 'beginner'. I won the last one. Since the pieces are blue and red, I couldn't help thinking 'blue state' and 'red state'. Interesting game. Because you also can reinforce pieces, it has more strategy than othello since you can 'play defense' by makig purely defensive moves.
