  • Knights and merchants

    It’s a bit like Warcraft without the supernatural stuff. You have to make a functional town that has farming, stock logistics, weapons manufacture, etc. and then you also have to win against a nearby kingdom.

    The mechanics are so broken. You can usually just wait it out for your enemy to run out of resources (to be fair it was the same in Starcraft) but every other level was a battle in an open field, and it was very hard to manage the actions of your army.




  • I did the whole Stargate franchise, including Infinity.

    My advice is to do what I did. Rip the discs to your hard drive to remove the cd rom as a speed bottleneck. Then start doing tests at different bit rates until you are happy with the quality:size ratio. From season 4 onwards there’s audio commentaries that are worth keeping, so don’t forget to include that audio track as well as any language and subtitles you’d like to keep.

    Good luck, have fun. It took me ages to work through it in my free time, but I’m glad I did. Also, from season 8 onwards, there are HD versions of SG-1 that were never released on home video that you may as well find a download of.
