    And if the Password Recovery doesn't work (there was an error transitioning accounts during the upgrade), use the "contact us" link right down the bottom right of the forums and harass us about it. Include your account name and its e-mail address (or whatever parts of it you remember).

    "This message is awaiting moderator approval": All new users must pass through our moderation queue before they will be able to post normally. Until your account has "passed" your posts will only be visible to yourself (and moderators) until they are approved. Give us a week to get around to approving / deleting / ignoring your mundane opinion on crap before hassling us about it. Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

    Armageddon Empires is to me one of the few games that brings a wasteland to live, makes exploration great and is filled with emergent narrative. Matchsticks For My Eyes nailed that in their retrospective.

    five years already? that can't be possible. He nailed it on the scarcity point, resources that are there to be jealously fought over and guarded are all to often a rare sight in strategy games these days.

    And of course the bloke is now making stuff i have little interest in.

    Yeah, time flies. Solium Infernum rocked but that cowboy card game he made after that sucked ass. Mildly interested in that Lovecraftian horror game he's doing now. Sounds like a mix between a roguelike and the Arkham boardgame. Will see.

    AE rocked for exactly the points he made. Exploration, scarcity and atmosphere together with emergent narrative made playing it awesome. I also loved how instead of growing stronger you often struggled to stay roughly on par during the game. Postapoc done right.
