So the last update made the Spectate mod official? Awesome.

No, but weegee, the modder who created the two things I mentioned, allowed to assign multiple teams to the same controller, and AI is treated as a controller type, so you can assign all four teams to it. Or you can defend the base while the two AI factions attacking it also fight each other.

He also added the ability to assign techs to teams. It doesn't actually lock you out of using other techs, but it gives you presets for quick troop deployment and I THINK it makes either your faction's tech cheaper or others' more expensive.

Also, you can pick whether you want fog of war or not, if you want the clear path to orbit requirement for brains, and starting gold from standard 2000 to infinity (actually just a couple millions, but you're VERY unlikely to use it all up even in a loooooong time).

"Child of Light" looks amazing, but sadly it looks like it's saddled with UPlay for a double DRM. -_-

UPlay is, IMO, the most exciting "You bought our game now you are our extra-software slave" client on paper, but is the worst-executed one (of the big-leagues, anyway). I have so many consistent issues with UPlay functioning, while even Origin isn't anywhere as bad.

uplay works fine for me.
Then again I only have 2 games that need to use it, and they're both really good.

RETRO CITY RAMPAGE IS $1 US FOR THE NEXT TWO DAYS

OMG GUYS

NO BRAINER

BUY IT

Tropico 4 bundle is $6 US. Also worth buying.

Tropico 4 with all dlcs included - 3$ (may vary depending on your region)

Haven't played it yet, but i heard it's quite good and with 85% discount it was a no-brainer

[BigD145]

Without DLC it's $3. With it's $6.

Any thoughts on Tropico 5? Like, are there review copies floating around yet or what? They've been pretty closed-mouth about it and suddenly it shows up as a $35 preorder on steam.

I've loved the Tropio 1 and 4, but going off my gut I smell a rat with 5. Practically zero advertising, no interviews or press releases that I've heard of, and a discount for preordering is too fishy for my love of the series to hop onto that train quite yet. They've made stinkers in the past (The pirates one kinda sucked), but this just feels like they know it's not going to do well and are just cashing in to try and recoup some of their expenditures.

 Of course, whether it's good or not, it'd be a good chance for me to make a video on it to get the word out. I just need more than five minutes in a day to myself...

I won't be preordering but I am somewhat excited about the multiplayer

[Zangi]

I'm probably going to buy Tropico 5.  They havn't screwed up the Tropico 1 formula, other then the radio people.  (I prefer the morbid approach rather then what they got now.)

5 was a known future entity last year. August 2013 was the first trailer.

Yeah I know, I saw the trailer and read the promised feature list. But they just jumped straight from that to the steam store, we're still pretty in the dark about it.

If it is nothing more than Tropico 4 with multiplayer and a few new buildings and random fixes... I'm fine with it.
