Anyone tried Unity of Command II? I remember enjoying the first one.

GyverMac posted:Been having a hankering to play Warhammer: Dark Omen lately. But its impossible to get a hold of (legally) and I fear it hasn't aged that well. That game was really fun, and I hope someone will make a game similar to it. Managing a mercenary outfit, equipping them with weapons and items, branching mission paths etc. You should take a look at Battle Brothers It also sounds like you might like XCom if you haven't played it yet.

Anyone have opinions on Stellar Monarch? I haven't played it but the videos I've seen make it look like a budget CK2 in space.

The 2016 Master of Orion remake is on sale for half off right now. I thought I remembered it being poorly received, but Steam shows it as having good reviews. Is it fun? How's the AI? I'll still go back and play Civ6 every so often, but the relentlessly hostile AI and poor tactics engine are always a disappointment.

DrManiac posted:Anybody check out old world yet? Civ + Crusader king sounds like a really cool match. It looks cool, but I'm waiting for it to not be an Epic exclusive. Exclusive releases are console nonsense and don't belong on PC. Thread for it looks super slow.

Mordja posted:Iron Harvest AKA COH with mechs has an open beta going on. https://store.steampowered.com/app/826630/Iron_Harvest/ The tutorial starts out very endearing, but then every mission after that you just get your teeth kicked in. Which I guess is true to the Polish experience during the World Wars.

Flail Snail posted:I'm looking for a new tactical game a la X-COM but haven't managed to find much ever since Steam's "related game" functionality became a bit poo poo. I've got pretty much all of the X-COM games, including the series stinkers Apocalypse and Bureau. I've got (and have enjoyed) the Mutant game. Additionally, my interests lie with something a bit more like Depth of Extinction - there's no real time limit, you can find (rather than "purchase") new party members through play, your party members can gain new abilities as you progress, and there are side quest type things you can do - but a bit less mind-numbingly samey as that game's missions. Is this another white whale to add to my pile of white whales? If you hadn't said you have all the X-Com games, I'd say what you are describing sounds almost exactly like XCOM®: Chimera Squad. You might enjoy Alien Swarm, it's free. Although it is a real-time 3rd person shooter that plays best online and the community is usually pretty rough on new players. Did you ever play Final Fantasy Tactics? Or the Disgaea games?

Any tips for Shadow Empire? I played about an hour today and it's not clicking with me so far. Not having any iron or any way to get it in my starting zone is probably not helping.

Mordja posted:After putting it off for a while, I'm playing Iron Harvest's campaigns, happily through family sharing, not my own copy, after hearing good things about the SP from my brother. It kinda stinks doesn't it? Maybe I'm being too harsh: I'd already known from betas and demos that it was a middling game lacking both the bombast and the depth of a COH, but I expected the mission design to be a bit more interesting than it is. And what's there has been mostly fine, I guess, (the train gimmick level was kinda cool) but let down by the game's underlying faults: spammy, tactically simplistic combat, small but annoying bugs that hamper your control, map design that seems contrary to many of the game's mechanics such as cover and destructible terrain, the complete lack of gore. Yeah, pretty much.

Love Stole the Day posted:BlackChain was cool and good -- it hits the same notes that Brood War did and is a good game considering it was a solo dev project. It even comes with a map editor, of all things, modeled after Brood War's editor. It's on sale for just $4 dollars. I'll give it a try at that price.

Mordja posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybitD0-Mpqc That looks cool, but it weirds me out that the spaceships with sails look bigger than star destroyers. I think Disney retconned them to be more reasonably sized, but I remember star destroyers being more than a mile long.

jng2058 posted:Hey, are there any newer Master of Magic style games out there? I've already done MoM, the Age of Wonders games, the Elemental line of games, Endless Legend, and the Warlock games and I'm not a big fan of the way the Heroes of Might and Magic games play. I'm looking for something in the same line but with a fresh coat of paint. Anything newish out there? You might like Brigandine. The price is a bit steep for what's basically a remaster of a playstation game, but I remember enjoying it a lot during the original playstation release. Wizards and Warlords on steam is an indie version of MoM. It's fun once but it has some mechanics like being able to build improvements on every hex and staff them with civilians that gets very grindy. The AI is also very hit or miss. Sometimes it does well, more often in my experience it doesn't do much of anything.

In Shadow Empires, it's pretty easy to deadlock your economy on the very first turn. I forget what the recommended build order is to get started.

DarthRoblox posted:It’s a good game, but they hosed up hard in trying to woo the hardcore AoE 2 players over without doing enough to bring in new players. It wound up in this unsatisfying middle with no player base seems like with the new expansion and now this they’re trying to breathe some life back in It's a perfectly fine RTS, but yeah, it's just okay. Not really interesting enough for me to want to keep playing. I do appreciate that all of the battles in the first, English, campaign, are a series of senseless family squabbles.

chaosapiant posted:Howdy Goons. I've been sort of eyeing those old-school hex based wargames on PC for years, but never knew where to start. What's a good beginner/newbie level wargame that's out there? Any recommendations? As someone who is also a newbie, I found Commander: The Great War to be both fun and comprehensible. It's a WWI strategy game, so lots of trench war and solid lines, but the occasionally opening for a flank attack or supply line raid in the East to keep things exciting.

Toebone posted:I've been hankering for a good PC strategy game to waste the entire winter playing. Last ones I played were Civ 5 and Cities Skylines, both of which I put dozens (Cities) to hundreds (Civ) of hours into. I prefer something turn-based or with adjustable speed, and not too complex - something with a good amount of depth to it, but not requiring insane micromanagement to be successful. I have Civ 6 but it never really hooked me. Open to any genre / style - historic, sci-fi, 4x, city builder, etc. What's the best stuff out there? Old World. It's a 4x like Civ but the choices are meatier and the AI is significantly more fun. It understands the game better and can put up a reasonable fight. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3920273

Reiterpallasch posted:i mean yeah like, if the player wins at antietam and smooshes the entire ANV against the river and wipes them out...if the game tried to handle that in any realistic sense you just would have to stop playing the game because there isn't any more game That's when time travelers show up and hand out machine guns to the survivors.

Time to buy it, join precisely two online games, oooh and ahhh at the new stuff then rage quit when my cute little army dies to a turkey Thanks to Googling this, I now know there are at least 3 "Thankskilling" horror movies about a killer turkey. I'll spare you the image links. I wish Dominions was more fun single player.

victrix posted:Reviews on this (especially dlcs) were rather confusing, seemed to be a lot of angry pvp players though (buy I repeat myself), so I ignored those and I'll give it a shot I played through it when it first came out. RTS is not my favorite genre and I still had fun. Not enough to be tempted into a second playthrough, but I felt like I got my money's worth. I don't remember it real well, but I think the economy is very tightly tied to expansion, with a strict and low limit on how many people can be productive in one location. So you need to expand early and aggressively.

victrix posted:Age of Darkness It's a lot like They Are Billions (TAB). It fixes a lot of TAB's mechanical problems, but the graphics are somehow less charming. It's very vibes, but it was just less fun to play than TAB when I tried it 6-9 months ago. I can't point to any specific problem other than the art.
