He has nailed the CAH experience, and didn't even need the answer conveniently written in a card to do so. Go play Werewolf/Mafia, I'm pretty sure there are ways to play online (I think you want online, given Herpicle's suggestion.) If not, check Codenames, Ladies&Gentlement, 2 Rooms and a Bomb or coup.

I'm looking for a survival/builder game, something centered around gathering resources and tools and slowly building up a self-sustainable base or community. Some degree of danger and/or combat is ok, but I don't want it to be the main focus. The base can be a castle, a spaceship, a town, I don't care as long as I can upgrade, expand it and add new functionalities. Examples of games I played that had what I'm looking for: This War of Mine Cataclysm DDA State of Decay Harvest Moon Factorio Rimworld Games I played but didn't like: Starbound / Terraria and clones - too much of the progression is tied into combat and just upgrading your weapons and picks with a slightly better metal. Lots of things to gather, but most are ultimately useless Dwarf Fortress - sounds good on paper, but is too much of a pain in the rear end to play nowadays. Whenever I get an urge to try it again, I give up after an hour or so Planet Explorers - buggy, ugly UI. Looks like you can make your own items out of voxels, but I want to play a game, not learn 3d modeling. I don't really care about the million multiplayer zombocraft games out there, but if there's one that's particularly good, I'm willing to try it out. No Minecraft though. City building games are cool and all, but I'd prefer something smaller-scale, where I can walk around my cool estate. PC only.

Banished maybe? It's a city-builder, but the "cities" are just small villages, and there's a lot more focus on the survival of the townspeople than in other such games.

Banished is great, but be prepared to die your first few games to silly rookie mistakes. Gotta say though, once you've built up a large town, gameplay can become slightly monotonous. Still a lovely game to play. I was going to recommend Factorio, cause it sounded just like what you wanted, but you've already played it! Thanks to you though I'll check out This War of Mine. Thanks.

Examples of games I played that had what I'm looking for: Have you looked at Sheltered? It focuses on a family who's survived a nuclear apocalypse. You send family members out into the wastes to scavenge for food, medicine, and other supplies, while trying to create a tolerable shelter for your people in an underground bunker.

While I find it fun, it's Early Access, so take that into account. Speaking of Early Access, Dead State was released some time ago. It's about survivors during the zombie apocalypse and building up your base, but there is plenty of turn based combat. There is a demo, so take a look at it.

I'm looking for a Dwarf-fortress style game (Except without the horrible graphics or unnecessary complex stuff) that has to deal with building a fortress/base/stronghold, managing its resources, and defending it from the alien invaders/zombies/enemy soldiers. I loved the original Stronghold game.I haven't played HD version or the sequels but I guess they might also be worth a try.

Thanks guys, looks like I'll be checking Sheltered and Banished. Out of the two zombie games Project Zomboid looks more sim-ish? I'll look into that one. I played Don't Starve, but it was too, I don't know, frantic? You have to be on the move all the time, I'd rather have a permanent base of operations.

I was going to make a post very similar to your post. I was a huge fan of State of Decay and This War of Mine. I'd say Project Zomboid is your best bet here. It's focused far more on survival than anything. There's the possibility you could take over a house, build a perimeter wall, add a second floor, collect rain water in buckets, and begin farming. It gets crazy. However, the game does play slowly and it's unforgiving at times.

Godmachine posted:I was going to make a post very similar to your post. I was a huge fan of State of Decay and This War of Mine. Yeah, it is a very difficult survival game that is more like 'last as long as you can until the zombie horde inevitably kills you'' than it is 'build an impenetrable fortress of doom with a farm inside and win the game'. You basically wake up in the middle of a random location (on a huge map) and start surviving. At first you have power and water but after a random period of time the power will go out (causing all fresh foods in fridges to rapidly decay, lights to not work, etc) and the water will stop (which you can prepare for by filling pots and cups with water and building rainwater collectors, etc). Your character can progress across a lot of skills (carpentry, fighting, shooting, fishing, gathering, farming, etc). You not only have to worry about food, water, and sleep but also psychological stuff like panic, stress, depression, and boredom. Injuries are super serious and even a single bite from a zombie can be game over (also getting an infection from a cut by climbing through a broken window or something). The game is still in an early access state so they are still adding stuff, but it's pretty fun from what I've played so far (I got it in the last Steam sale).

What's a god game where I can leave things unattended for a while, or be very powerful when I feel like doing stuff? I don't want to do lots of work levelling up my powers. I enjoyed From Dust but there wasn't enough actual growth, I didn't like Black & White because the player is not powerful enough in that game to be interesting.

RPG or open world style game where you play as the villain. ESPECIALLY if you can conquer towns and force them to pay tribute or something like that. Torture/interrogation also a huge plus. Overlord 1 and 2 were fantastic. Upcoming overlord game, well, i am skeptical about it. But still I want more. Dungeon Keeper is excellent too but it lacks the joy of terrorizing helpless villagers. Evil Genius is great but lacks RPG elements. Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout, etc. are nice that you can play an evil character but without some form of conquest to personally gain control of territory I find it lacking. Is there anything out there to scratch my evil domination itch? khy fucked around with this message at 09:25 on Oct 8, 2015 |

Maybe Mount & Blade: Warband? It's very light on the RPG and very heavy on the open world. Have you played any Grand Strategy games? Assassinate your brother, marry your daughter: Crusader Kings 2.

The Fable games all let you be evil and take over villages and sacrifice people to evil gods and stuff. Its not suuuuper deep but its okay. Mount and Blade does let you conquer people but also kinda meh. Overlord and Evil Genius (your av  ) are as good as it gets IMO.

I was just thinking though that I would love a villain/demon world conquest game with a bit more focus on the player character directly, and less on grand strategy stuff like Civ and the like.

Yep, what this guy said. JA1 and non-1.13 JA2 aren't worth bothering with in TYOOL 2015. Note JA2 has a Sci-Fi box you'll want to uncheck if you don't want to deal with sci-fi subplots involving robots, aliens, guns that don't exist, etc.

Well, that's not a matter of avoiding anything sci-fi in particular, and 1.13 has options for keeping the counterattack and making it less ridiculous. I always liked the counterattack; it definitely teaches you to make the most out of the early guns and judicious use of high explosives, assuming you don't roof/bar cheese it. But yeah for a first timer turn off Drassen Counterattack in the .ini editor program, and make yourself 6 IMPs (player characters, basically) because you can.

I've had a hankering for a going trading game with some RPG elements (or at least some sort of progression) along the lines of X3. It doesn't have to be a space game though. Game's I've tried and liked: X3 EVE Freelancer Dwarf Fortress (sort of suits what I'm looking for) Games that were close but didn't really do it for me: Cosmonautica Some of the Anno games The Guild series (gave one of the games a chance but didn't get into it. If you guys think it's worth it I'll try again if you have a suggestion of which one to try)[b]

For JA2, also keep in mind that your starting guns will likely be sucky sidearms so the first few fights will be pretty frustrating because you can barely hit poo poo outside spitting distance. Once you get some longarms and a small scope or two it'll get a lot more comfortable.

Front Mission: Gun Hazard plays just like Cybernator and is much longer. Gunhound EX on the PC is clearly inspired by those games. Ranger X on the Genesis plays differently but you might like it too. A 6 button controller is highly recommended, otherwise the controls get weird.
