old games,old players

[Malgeric(can)]

Hey all ,I been playing 42,dc,and dc final for lord knows how long.I have been admin,player and clan leader at various times on other servers and now just like to play the game have fun and relax.Lately I have heard alot of other players complain the 42 is just to boring and getting lame to play, this may be so .BUT they still come to play so quit your complaining and play for what it worth.
Now moving on,Iam after some suggestions for a new game,to supplement my desire for a stratedgy based game. What i am seeking ,(for those that may be familiar with this ) is a pc game based on a old sid meirs game ,,,,,,,,Gettysburg,,,,,,,for those of you that know this game then you will know what iI am talking about.I have only ever played 2 games Online and this was my first one,Yes simple basic and old but it was very challenging with a good opponent.I do not want fantasy style rpg,or shooter style, real time move ment based strat.style game.I look for history based units ,so era is not important. What i do not want is some thing where you get things that do not exist or are based on future ideas.
Looking for unit control any where from platoon ,regimental or battalion size . Thats pretty well it thanks all

WOW, What a topic my brother....... However, I respond now carefully as in doing so, i tilt my hand and begin to reflect my aging..... Oh My! LOL

Anyways, There have been ( 2 ) Online games which had me at the core..... There was Motocross Madness 2 through the Microsoft Zone.... At the time, man it was cool and I motoed against some of the best online Motocross racers throughout the entire world.... I ran a gnarly International Crew under a tag ( NJDBR ). Man some excellent racing, I truly miss it and there has been no other like it to replace it after we lost the root Server...... LOSS>>>>>>>

Then there is BF1942 and it's various flavors.... That's right you meatheads, BF1942 is a rebound, but that's ok, it is one which stuck, it filled the need. Now, with it's aging and those in the society which cry of bordom, boredom, boredom..... I say this, go jump off a frickin bridge...... I have run my own bf1943 server in the past when I had access to a decent fiber trunk.... Then there is what I have now...... No further comment, DSL SUX.....

Ok, EA117 and it's dudes who host and operate this server, You guys, who make this server exist...... KUDOS gentalmen! That cant be said enough.... Ok I have said enough WORD!

All joking asided I know what type of game you are talking about. I played one called .... uhhhh Oh crap A.D.D. moment.... True War ... or Modern Warfare .. Real War thats it. Anyways it was your typical start small and build this building so you can make this. Then build barracks so you can have ground troops. If you have these two building you can build this special weapon .. anyways you get the point. It was fun to waste time. As for the Gettysburg game I always wanted to try it out as I have always enjoyed reading about the Civil War. I never got around to it but I did see that Sid Meier had come out with another game that was called Civilization ... I dont know if this would suite your wants as it starts from the beginning of man and goes into the space ages. But then again you may have heard about it already as it came out a few years back. If I see anything that looks like what I think Gettysburg was like I will let you know.

ahhh Mal.....if only the boys from the original DHA would fire up their server for ol time sake (the last time they had it up and running, Redneck abused me to no end, coz i kept popping him with my 50 cal lol )

an old fav of mine was Empire......... very simple game play, simple movements on units, but hours of fun either with AI or human players.....Civilization was fun to, and it has numerous versions of it about....another game that was not bad, was Super power (they made a sequel but apparently it sucked)....it let you design your own units and other things...single player only, but i still found it fun...it did have some depth detail for running what ever country to chose to run, such as housing for your population etc.......and yes, you could launch nukes at other countries

i believe i've played the civil war games ur talking about. i think they were like turn base, and the units moved to and from positions that were octagons. If so those games were great i wish my windows 7 could run them.
