Conquering Total War: Warhammer 3 as a pirate with a pathological aversion to ever touching grass Born to plunder. World is an ocean. 410,757,864,530 dead elves. Image credit:Creative Assembly/Sega In the dingy portside taverns that pop up, seemingly unbidden, like roiling blisters along the coastal towns of the Old World , the name Count Noctilus is spoken only in hushed whispers by those blasted enough on grog to forget themselves.

Cutesy fairytale citybuilder Fabledom hits 1.0 later this month And they all lived middling ever after Image credit:Dear Villagers, Doyoyo Games Fabledom somehow passed me by, but darn if it isn’t leaving early access in about a week and a half. May 13th (unlucky for some) will see this fairytale kingdom city builder launch into 1.0, after a comparatively short but successful early access run on Steam . It looks very sweet, and reminds me of a kind of Foundation meets Lakeburg Legacies - at least based on the trailer, which puts an emphasis on it laid back and idyllic citybuilding, and love....
