Wait for it to go back normal price and pay the creator what they deserve. It's only a couple bucks.

I think you're in the wrong thread.

Definitely, take a good look at my signature.

Because the creator doesn't get a say about if his game gets sold at a reduced price on steam, clearly

[Sergius]

UFO Afterlight for $2.50.

Don't buy the "package", nothing else in it is on sale.

I have been thinking about getting CK2 and a few other games I cant remember atm. Being Aussie we sometimes get stupid prices dispite having the stronger doller over the US folk. Can someone check to see if CK2 is at a different price the what would show for me. I cant say what it is due to beeing at work. But still...

Looks like it is $49.99 in both the US and Australian, 49,99€ in Europe and £37.99 in UK for the CK2 collection.

You can check other countries stores by using http://store.steampowered.com/?cc=us and replacing the us with your country code, so au for australia, uk for uk, fr for france, ru for russia, etc.

I can tell you that CK2 is an amazing game. I've been playing it with a friend of mine and we're having a blast. I spent a lot of time dealing with family squabbles... such as my prince raising his armies and trying to usurp my throne. I also spent a lot of time conquering the norse, stripping them of their titles and executing them while converting their people.

By the way, UFO Afterlight is a pretty good game. I find it scratches the same strategic itch as X-Com with a lot more complexity I don't like the combat quite as much though - I feel I have less control. But there's tons more complexity than X-Com, which is nice

The only thing I don't like about Afterlight is that you can't get a bigger supply of personnel. You get like 2 dozen people, and half of them only show up if some of the first ones croaks. And if those ones croak, you're done. I liked Aftershock more in that respect. But the art in AL is superior.

How far in did you play? You get more people as time goes on. And there is a mod or two IIRC which will add more. Also drones are amazingly useful. I had a squad which was nothing but an engineer and drones.

You can get up to a total of seven more recruits over the course of the game. Spoilered below.

You get two new recruits when

you suffer your first death. Note that it doesn't have to be a human death.

If you eliminate the beastmen threat by

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

closing all the gates one of your original recruits retires and his daughter joins up to replace him.

You get two reticulan recruits if you ally with them. You can also get two recruits from

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

the second reticulan faction that shows up

later, though you can't be allied with both at once. Combined with the

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

recruits from the first death

it should be obvious who needs to

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

die

to maximise recruits.

You can also get three recruits from

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

the martians when they finally show up if you can ally with them.

Recruits from non-human factions will dissapear if you lose your alliance with their faction but will reappear if you later reestablish it.

This doesn't count drones of which you can have as many as you have materials for.

Supreme Commander 2 is fairly cheap right now. I'm not into the whole speed-based RTS*, but for those of you who are, it's 66% off.

_{*By "speed based", I mean you have to be on Speed to compete.}

I finished the game.

See Metalax's post, above. You get about a dozen new recruits, including aliens and those who replace dying/retiring members. And the original team is what, another dozen? Hence my statement, a couple dozen.

Morrowind and Oblivion are 50% off for the week, for anyone who doesn't already own them. Note, if you are getting Oblivion, make sure you get the right version. Deluxe has all the dlc while standard has knights of the nine and shivering isles dlc only.

[Sergius]

Wish I knew which one I owned.

My client says "You already own" in both regular and Deluxe. If I hit "view DLC" on my library, says I have GOTY DLC. I suppose if I had deluxe it would say so?

[Mini]

GOTY was a different thing a while back, and I'm pretty sure it has all the DLC.
