Silvery falls

Ooh. I can see that it’s a few days since I last updated my blog, so I thought it was time to write a bit about what has been keeping me occupied the last few days..

Mostly the game called “The Guild 2″ has been keeping me occupied. I really love this game. It is a game where you try to build yourself a dynasty in the middle ages (around 1400) in Europe, you get to choose from 4 different “classes” called Patron, Craftsman/woman, Rogue and Scholar, all those different classes have, at least, 3 different professions that you can choose for yourself, for example the Rogue can choose to set up a Robbers Nest, where you rob the carts that other businesses use to ship their good in or they can set up an Pirate Outpost, where you can plunder ships or again you can set up an Thieves Stronghold, so you can go out and break into houses, export for protection money and all such things, and that is just one of the classes..

Though what you can do in game isn’t really the greatest part of the game, the greatest part is how easy the game is to modify.. There are tons of different user created mods, which alter the game in one way or the other..

For example, one mod, which I have made myself, alters how many years passes between every game round. Normally the game passes 4 years for every game round and that was just too much. I made a mod that allows you to modify that to your liking. Currently I am playing with 1 year per round, and it’s a lot more fun..

You can also get a husband/wife in the game and get some kids to continue your dynasty, those kids you can send to school, they can get an apprenticeship and go to the university.. You can also go into the “political game” and run for mayor of the town..

There are just so many different options in the game and that is really why I love it so, and why I play it as much as I do. Now there are also levels in the game along with different skills and abilities which you can become better in, so there is a RP feel to it also, which helps a lot, but if you haven’t I really suggest you try it out. It’s not a new game so you can probably find it cheap somewhere, but if you do get it, I really recommend the addon also “Pirates of the European Sea” because that adds so much more content..

There is also a community made modification that adds a lot more gameplay, which is called Back to the Roots, and the best of all, is that it’s free. *grins*

Well, enough of my ramblings, if you are interested you can find the games website here.
