Drat. When I went to hit ‘stop recording’ at the end of my play, I saw — much to my horror — the button still said… ‘start recording’. I could’ve sworn I’d started it back on the Geoscape but it...

XCOM 2: Blogger Succession Game — Mission 15: Operation Furious Gasp

by Naithin | Aug 9, 2021 | XCOM | 2

This round felt surprisingly… un-XCOM-like. It went altogether too well, and I kept waiting for something to happen to shake things up and keep me on my toes, if not knock me right off ’em. It didn’t happen, though. Not in this...

XCOM 2: Blogger Succession Game Missions 8 + 9

by Naithin | Jun 12, 2021 | XCOM | 3

Important note for players: If you missed the Discord chat, we have adjusted the structure of turns! (This is also why I’ve played two missions.) Now, you play the strategy / base portion of your turn first. You play that until you select a...

XCOM 2: Blogger Succession Game – Mission 1: Operation Gatecrasher (Again)

by Naithin | May 4, 2021 | XCOM | 0

Don’t adjust your set- it isn’t broken. And it isn’t just deja vu, either. If you thought you’d seen this one already, that’s because… well, you have. The problem there, was that even though I had launched into...

XCOM 2: Blogger Succession Game – Mission 1: Operation Gatecrasher

by Naithin | May 2, 2021 | XCOM | 0

Eeeee! Exciting. Here we are- with the game underway, first mission played, turn order established, and the Succession Game page revamped to include this round and archive the details of the previous Civilisation VI Succession Game. Note: This...

Your XCOM 2 Succession Game Invite

by Naithin | Apr 22, 2021 | XCOM | 18

Yep. Yours. Over there in the corner. With the hat- and the face. Or maybe without the hat. *squints* It’s hard to see in this light. But with the Civilisation VI Succession Game now wrapped up, there’s room in my life for another...

Long Live the Queen – Eyes to Mars (Turns 391-400)

by Naithin | Mar 18, 2021 | Civilisation | 2

My word, the world has changed since I last was trusted with the reigns. We’ve become an absolute monster of a Cultural powerhouse for one. To such an extent that I wonder whether this may end up being our path to victory ahead of science,...

Long Live the Queen – Dream of Mars (Turns 321-330)

by Naithin | Sep 27, 2020 | Civilisation | 0

Right! *Cracks knuckles* Since it was last my turn, I’ve switched to a new PC and so redownloaded and setup Civilisation VI again. I’m sure I’ll find the odd default setting against my preference I’ll need to change as I go,...

Long Live the Queen — Gilgamesh Had it Coming (Turns 241-250)

by Naithin | Jul 5, 2020 | Civilisation | 9

Our military strength is 622, with the next nearest only sitting at 343. And they’re our friend. Right. Enough is enough. Gilgamesh is about to get a rather nasty surprise. Namely — I’m going to take Adab and Eridu from him. They...

Time to Loot Journal: May 2020

by Naithin | May 31, 2020 | Cities: Skylines, Civilisation, Deep Rock Galactic, Journal, Other Games, To the Moon | 5

New Zealand has seen at least the promise of a return to normalcy this month. We’ve run a consecutive streak of 9 days with no new cases. There is in fact only 1 active known case in the country. While there is still an acknowledgement that...

Long Live the Queen — War and Peace (Turns 161-170)

by Naithin | May 30, 2020 | Civilisation | 0

Since my last turn, war has come, gone, and come again. You can read all about it in the posts linked here. The people of England also found religion. You would think this might temper our warmongering instincts, at least a little. Especially...

Long Live the Queen — Science and War (Turns 81-90)

by Naithin | May 8, 2020 | Civilisation | 3

Here we go! Back around to me, and the world has seen some exciting changes since I was last in the saddle. You can find a list of everyone’s turn stories here if you want to get caught up but the one most important fact: At the beginning of...

Around the World in 80 Turns

by Naithin | May 6, 2020 | Civilisation | 6

Maybe not strictly true within the context of the game. After all, while In our Civilisation VI Blogger Succession Game we do in fact have an exploring ship — we haven’t yet settled anywhere off the mainland. But it may be true in a...

Time to Loot Journal: Blapril 2020

by Naithin | May 1, 2020 | Cities: Skylines, Civilisation, Deep Rock Galactic, Journal, Mount & Blade 2, Other Games, WoW | 2

While not something I’m going to dwell on — I think I will at least acknowledge that the COVID-19 lockdown is finally getting to me. Not in any serious, major ways. Rather just I note that my motivation levels are down, with each day...

Long Live the Queen — Establishing an Empire (Turns 1-10)

by Naithin | Apr 28, 2020 | Civilisation | 9

The Civilisation VI blogger succession game is here! And we have a whopping 8 players at this stage. For the sake of those reading along, I’m going to (more or less) jump right into the action. But if you’re a player, I have a section...

Civilisation Blogger Succession Game — Setting the Rules

by Naithin | Apr 26, 2020 | Civilisation | 12

Right! The game is afoot! Well; almost. Time to set the rules a little more firmly than we did following yesterday’s post. We had a few areas where people had a preference of a sorts, but not everywhere. So I figure the most interesting way...

Civilisation: Succession (Game) Planning

by Naithin | Apr 25, 2020 | Civilisation | 21

Sidebar: Civilisation or Civilization? I mean… Being in a country that spells via British English, Civilisation is right. But then, this is in reference to a particular game which is called Civilization. So would the latter be more correct?...
