Absolutely. I went ahead and uploaded them to Google Docs earlier. Here are the links:

I just spent another three hours or so playing it. I was actually kicking ass for a while in Ireland. Grabbed a couple more counties and was almost done in capturing the necessary counties to create the title Duke of Ulster. Then my ruler died, and his son and heir turned out to be a shit stain of a ruler. Got into a war down in Italy over a couple of counties he held the title to, lost the war and ended up losing every title and claim that he possessed, so so long my years and years of hard work in Ireland.
Ultimately, I had to resort to some assassinating and other less than ideal practices to clear out everyone in line above and take over as Duke of Ulster via being the next in line as heir. That was also a difficult road as Emperor Magnus, who as Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire was my liege, kept throwing my ass in the dungeons, and I would have to get my regent to talk Emperor Magnus into ransoming me as a prisoner to get my out of the dungeons, costing a pretty penny in gold along the way.
Never fully recovered though. The dumbass son and heir wouldn't knock his wife up, ended up getting poisoned and died in an assassination plot against him by one of his vassals, and thus came to an end the bloodline of my dynasty, in April 1098.
Gonna take a break and may jump back into it with a new game and new start later today. This game is definitely fun as hell.
I know my playtime says I have played for 12 hours but I have knit played like 2 so I am really new to the game . The price has went up on steam for anyone who didn't get it yesterday. I think I'm going to pick up anno 1707 I like the old dawn of discovery I might also get all my civ 5 dlc.
Btw thanks for the upload I won't say anything bad about you for 1 day.

Its well worth the 8.00 bucks or so. Its a nation building game that has
one of the longest single players I have ever seen I think I have put in somewhere like 4 hours I am still at the very beginning.
See how useful those stats are already.I direct you to oweb26's image of "Games Played" on the previous page

As I typed that my wife said um....you did like 4 hours in one morning so to be clear I have put in about 36 but most of my time has been in the free build. It has a prima guide but there are plenty of "free" resources online that will tell you everything (even though the prima is only 3.00 this week). I enjoyed (enjoy) the game but I have the attention span of a 2 year old when it comes to video games.

Do you play Tropico 4 or do you have the modern expansion pack? Apparently the expansion. Pack hasn't got great reviews. However, i thought it looked good.
I have done both and honestly they played exactly the same to me just with different building that really did the same thing. for example they both have casinos which bring happiness but they look different. Its a really fun game the learning curve isn't too bad but it does have on especially if you were like me and didn't play any of the other ones.
The game is definitely worth the 7.49, I think I payed 12.00 for it plus like 12.00 for the expansion a couple of months ago.
Yeah, I bought Tropico 4 earlier this afternoon, let it download while I took a little afternoon nap.I played the demo for it on 360 a couple months back, had a lot of fun with it, so when I saw it was 75% off, I jumped on it. I almost bought it yesterday when it was only something like 33% or 40% off. Thank god I said said screw it yesterday and didn't buy.
If anyone didnt pick up CKII at 9.99 its still priced that at Amazon download.
I don't know how the hell it is even possible between work and other stuff, but according to Steam, I have somehow already put in 38 hours in CKII since buying it Thursday night.
You and I need to talk. I should pay you to get some of the things done that I don't have enough time for

Those times are screwy it counts the time when lets say you click the game but you get the pop up that says start playing CKII if you never hit that Steam is still counting that as you are playing. That's why it says I have 12 hours I left it on all last night at that start screen, I really only have about 1, 2 at the most of time played.
I was gonna say, there was no way in hell I had been playing for 38 hours. I mean, I have been playing the hell out of the game, I probably legitimately have 12-15 hours into the game, but no way in hell could it be 38, since I've only even had the game for less than 48 hours.
I'm actually about to fire it back up again though.
I'm sure we could reach an agreement on some things.You and I need to talk. I should pay you to get some of the things done that I don't have enough time for
In a further effort to distract myself from life, I decided to get Civ. 5 for my Macbook. So what do I need to know about the game?
Yeah, I thought I was having a hard time trying to give games equal playing time on my 360, it's even worse on my laptop.
As for Civilization V, have you played Civ IV? I'm assuming you have.
I actually have never played 4. I did some reading on 5, and it seemed very interesting.Yeah, I thought I was having a hard time trying to give games equal playing time on my 360, it's even worse on my laptop.

Well, it was quite an eventful night for me in CKII. After 15 years of wars, I had enough counties to create the title King of Ireland, then spent another 10 years capturing the rest of the remaining counties, eventually taking all of Ireland under my control and setting up a true Kingdom of Ireland. Then things almost went to shit.
Come 1096, the King died, his oldest son was heir and took over as King, only to have his 5 younger brothers not like that. The next brother in line to the throne declared war on his brother the King, beginning a Succession War. The brother called in all the rest of the siblings to fight, resulting in battles in multiple counties, and another 5 years of war before finally everything was put down.
Come the end of the war, three of my brothers were imprisoned, the remaining two brothers and two of the sisters had their titles stripped, and there was finally peace and calm on the Irish coast, bringing the Succession War to an end. To try and keep the rest of my dumbass siblings (not rotting in the dungeons) from pulling that bullshit again in the future, I had the brother who originally started the whole war executed while in prison. Pained me to do that to a brother and family member, but an example had to be made.
It also appears both my original ruler and now his son aren't exactly the most popular people. At one point, I had 13 people rotting in the dungeons, half of them imprisoned after the Succession War was put down and brought to an end, and the other half from people who had plotted to kill me, my vassals, or people in either my or my vassals courts and their plots were discovered. And when they get thrown in the dungeon, they get thrown in the dungeon and the key thrown away. I still have 7 people rotting in the dungeons right now. I right now have a guy who's been sitting in the dungeons for 20 years. I had a woman, one of my courtiers, who had been sitting in the dungeon for 16 years before dying in prison. Out of all the people I've thrown in the dungeons so far in this go-around, probably close to or over 20 in total for the entire length of this current game, only a single one has ever been granted their release by me, and that was because one of the bishops asked me to do so.
Currently in April 1105 when I saved and quit. Ireland is reunited and under my full control again, no threats or dangers of revolts. I'm now eyeing an attempt to possibly start up some wars in England and Scotland. I want to create the Empire of Brittania, consisting of the Kingdoms of Wales, Ireland, England and Scotland.
Ah, not a problem. I'll see if I can find some stuff for you on Civ 5. I'm not sure if I'd be able to explain it that great and do the game justice through my point of view. It's a fun game though. I'll try to find something to help explain some of the stuff and tell you what you need to know and post it in here later today.
