Gnomoria
http://store.steampowered.com/app/224500/ (http://store.steampowered.com/app/224500/)
- 2,38€

If you like micromanagement-heavy strategy games. A sort of a Settlers/Terraria/Minecraft mix. Obviously inspired by Dwarf Fortress, but i guess everyone who is interested in Dwarf Fortress already knows about Gnomoria :)
 
Great game in my opinion, and it is worth mentioning, that not many indie games get so many updates, improvements and small content editions as Gnomoria ( !weekly! ). 
 
Another important aspect of Gnomoria - a very clean design and interface. Very important for this sort of games :)

Been thinking of getting Miasmata, since I like exploring games.

Hmm.. I was looking at it a number of times, what alerts me, is the physics of the actual truck driving  :| Is it a simulator?.. Can i connect my beloved G25 wheel to it? Manual gear-change? Clutch?.. If i understood correctly, ETS2 provides a nice economy model, so there is more to it, than just driving, but if the driving itself is arcade'ish, i am not sure if it is enough..
 
When it comes to traffic simulation, surprisingly, GTA IV with mods, provide the most accurate city-driving experience. Sometimes, i smoke a bong or two, drop all the new mp3's i have collected, and drive taxi in GTA 4 for a few hours time :D

It's not arcadey. I also used manual gear-change for that extra feel. There's also a mod that makes the truck physics even more realistic, supposedly.

I have train simulator 2012 and the physics on that are pretty decent. Haven't sunk many hours in it due to time constraints but it's quite soothing to play.

You have to download the truck sim map. Adds complete countries to the standard map and check the download section for the trailer pack and the heavy cargo pack.

Nothing's better than towning a tank on a trailer up the Tunesian mountains :D

As simple as it comes along, it has something relaxing and even addictive to it.

Just make sure you get the nice mods like that map posted above, the cool heavy load trailer, the physics mod and even new trucks if you like.
Google ets2 mods and you gonna find some nice things :wink:

That's what you get with the Heavy Load Trailer Pack :D 33t and vehiculos longus :wink:

Thank you for that link - map mod is awesome. As well as the game itself. Still there are several things that I find annoying:
First, navigation - it would be really better if you had to plan the route by yourself
And second - that there is almost no punishment for crashes. When I drive with too high speed on empty road - I pay 500 euro for that. However when I break several cars and probably kill several people - I have to pay only 400...
No reason to try and play safe:(

Well, the reason for driving properly is with yourself. You're driving a truck, behave like it :wink:
I drive very careful because it's my truck and I don't wanna damage it :oops:


King of the Road :D

Probably gonna pick up Gnomoria. Tempted to grab Darkfall as well, but I don't know anybody who plays it and I have a feeling diving into it alone won't end well.
