Gladius is legit awesome. It's closer to a traditional RTS than a 4X even though it's turn based. You build up a base with different buildings churning out different units and you send them off into the meat grinder in the centre of the map. No diplomacy, a very basic economy. It's great.

More recent Total War games let you play coop with both the turnbased campaign and the RTS battles.

Tau DLC for Gladius out of nowhere! Looks very unique compared to the other races.

Looking for some reviews on this so went to r/4Xgaming... and the top post is a Redditors passion project making a death camp simulator where you can exterminate minority groups based on their religion.

When your artist quits because you ask them to design a nice big "exterminate" button that you can press to liquify all those pesky minorities, maybe stop and think a little.

Junkie Disease posted:Any good Campaign Coop games anyone would recommend that the coop doesn't feel like "were sending our blobs of troops at the same target" level of coop? Like some actual depth Total Warhammer. 2 player only but really good for those 2.

You get to play the campaign together as locked allies, and when one person is in a battle they can gift the other units to control.

Meridian posted:Since it has been out for a couple years, has anyone messed around with 40k Gladius - Relics of War? This game owns bones. Turn based, but throws out all the old TBS conventions and plays more like an RTS. The AI is great and the factions all play really differently.

blue squares posted:Is there a strategy game that combines historical city building with some degree of military gameplay? I’m thinking something where I build a city, in enough detail where I’m controlling the layout, making citizens happy, dealing with stuff like water supply and sewage, etc, but also running my tech and military progress so that I have an army that goes out and fights Northgard. Dawn of Man. The old Impressions games. RimWorld and the DF-likes.

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? Order of Battle is very good. The base game is free, and you buy modules. Avoid the naval stuff though. Panzer Corps 2 is the classic. There are lots of modules for that too. Unity of Command 1 is better than 2 for noobs. 1 keeps things simpler.

I liked the demo. It has a very rock paper scissors feel - tanks and air wreck infantry, dragons and stingers wreck tank and air, infantry wreck dragons and stingers. It makes combined arms maneuver important.

Where are my continent spanning armies, batteries of artillery backing up legions and legions of IG??? Relic could have made a different game. DOW2 is a tight, well made squad based RTS.

That was the good part of the recent Nebulous Fleet Command Dev diaries where they said they are introducing the whole economic management side simply to give you strategic options. A single doomstack fleet will not be able to protect the economy against multiple small raiding fleets.
