@mage Earth Wars is a decent laugh. It’s a base attack game that happens to feature Autobits and Decepticons, which is novel at least, and there’s a certain kick out, say, seeing Blaster eject his tapes for reinforcement, or Slag bulldozing through lines whilst on fire. Still trying to unlock a Combiner though – cheeky buggers made it so you need 3-Star bots or higher otherwise I’d have Victorion, Optimus Maximus and Superion in play….

and yes, The Fallen are a fun concept. And I dig the idea of renegade Astartes who haven’t fallen to Chaos and instead are still defending humanity in their own way. Adds a bit of nuance to things….

oh, and a Battletech update – the fine folks at Rock Paper Shotgun ran an article on the burgeoning mod scene for it and some of their favourites and my word, coupled with the latest patch they give the game some added oomph. I’ve installed one that lets you see the health of enemy Mechwarriora (handy if trying to take their mech intact), and there is a great one for Mercenary Deployments, which plays to the lore where companies take long term contracts with big payoffs at the end. Only downside your pay between missions is much less so managing your company becomes far more intensive. I love it!!
