4X Gaming / Re: Emperor of the Fading Suns now available on GOG!
« Last post by W8taminute on May 31, 2023, 04:24:24 PM »Runs fine on my aged Win 10 machine. I just updated my Gog version of this game to the latest patch but haven't had a chance to dive in and try it out.
There is no other space 4x game that is turn based, has both space and land combat (which is also turn based!), and is a logisticians dream to play if you're into shuffling raw materials around the galaxy to feed your war machine.
All of this and the atmosphere of the game has a somewhat familiar air to it, almost like a cross between medieval times and WH40K.
In this world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer. I have overcome the world.

Totally understandable; the game has a lot going for it.
For me personally, I'm mentally moving Age of Wonders 4 to my "Eventually" list: I'm definitely getting it...someday -- just not right now.
And then there's GalCiv 4 sitting there in the Steam store calling my name.
It's a heck of a game, and one I need to get back to. Stardock is doing all sorts of interesting things...

Sounds like the Dragon Dawn DLC and accompanying free "Wyvern" update will likely be releasing before Triumph and Paradox go on their summer break.
I wonder about the wisdom of releasing paid content so soon after the game has come out; however, there does seem to be a demand for it. And if they release Dragon Dawn in another month or so, it would still give Triumph enough time to hot-fix any major issues before going on holiday.

So a very basic scenario (there are campaigns as well) would pit a 5 man Terminator squad against a variable number of Genestealers where the marine player has specific mission goals to achieve.
You can actually find the 1st Ed rules as a pdf file.

So is this 40k on a board as opposed to a table top?

I think from memory, Rogue Trader came out in 1986 and SH 1989(ish).
