Topic: Name some good stratergy games - page 3. (Read 5446 times)

C & C series are very good. Red alert, Generals. They are all good and can be very competitive when playing with friends. Although, be warned you will be addicted shortly after playing.

I guess your from US then. For others, it is business as usual 

I think Civ 3 was good too.

Yes, especially Civ 4  is playable with its decent AI

Yeah, i always play it with my brother, it never gets old.

Civiilization is good.

Wow, so usagi was not the only go player around...
I'm playing too, as an everlasting newbie (around 3k on european ladder).

And to OP, ever tried some "real" table games on sites such as http://www.brettspielwelt.de/ ?
7 wonders, Caylus, Puerto Rico, etc.

So many hours of pure joy.

Weird name

Lve the C&C Series
This is a very good. Very distinct units and structures between each faction.
Love Rushing with GLA :3

a community based game which is based on supreme commander - forged alliance. in my opinion best rts to date. if you played total annihilation in nineties then you'll love this.

Command & Conquer Generals with Zero Hour expansion pack.

Avoid space hulk 2013

It sucks balls like it's really trying to

There are plenty of good games listed in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=284839.240

Take a look.

Arma Tactics: another XCOM Enemy Unknown, but from another game dev?

Rise of Venice is still supposed to hit tomorrow. It doesn't have much hype or even information about it, but it's from Kalypso, so maybe some hope.

Dominions 4 is marked to be released in two days, though that's some type of "preliminary release date." If you pre-order, you can play the alpha - maybe prelim is beta. It's Dominions 3 (but 4), so they couldn't have introduced too many new bugs. 

Mech Mice is supposed to be released on October 8th. Mech Mice is an online 3D "turn-based, tactical squad game" designed with tweens in mind (I have no idea if it's an MMO). Hype @ www.mechmice.com/‎

Defense Technica is slated to release for PC on October 10th. It's a TD designed for smartphones I've never played. It's supposed to be a fairly well-done implementation in the genre. Hype @ http://global.com2us.com/ (I think they were going for a unique way to write "come to us" and decided not to use "cum to us" - or it was already taken... hard to say.)

An "enhanced edition" of Baldur's Gate II is set to be released on November 15th (with the caveat of Atari having a hand in it). They already re-released BG1, which features "over 400 improvements to the original game," but I haven't gotten around to it. Somehow, they also released a phone version. Go figure. Hype @ http://www.baldursgate.com/

Weiqi

you can play it online for free, also.

Chess and poker Online poker was a goldmine back in the day. I miss those days

This.
TDD is way better. BUt if you want a really good horror game from an Indie developer, play Outlast. It's just perfect, seeing from all the shit that AAA companies throw at us thinking that they games are good. Like, what they did to Resident Evil and Silent Hill? Playing those Indie games I feel good looking back to the old RE, SH and Alone in the Dark.

Fucking awesome.

Meh. Recommend you pirate it, then decide if you want it. I uninstalled it after a few hours of play.

Good. Yahtzee did a fine review of it.

Skipped Machine for Pigs. Reviews have it pegged as being pretty horrible. Frictional "outsourced" to the people who did Dear Esthar (HL2 mod), and allegedly, it came out as Dear Esthar, but using Frictional's game engine. Some compared it to a bad story mod for Amnesia: TDD. There are actually a bunch of story mods (overhauls, in a way -- it's a "different game") for TDD, maybe worth trying instead of Machine for Pigs.


I've been playing Eador:Genesis recently from an Extra Credits recommendation. Not near the end, I don't think -- there's a "microgame" which is RTS and takes 1-5 hours each, and a macrogame which contains all the different microgames. Winning microgames ("shards") progresses you on the macrogame, and it isn't linear (I don't think, but maybe -- that moralfag wizard really hates me no matter how nice I try to be toward peasants) -- this isn't unique, but it's implemented well enough and very fun. Microgames are old-style HOMM, hex-style. Everywhere you can move, you can conquer. It has a kind of dungeoncrawler feel to it (RPG elements, similar to HOMM), and the music reminds me oddly of Everquest. Idunno if it was the same guy or not, but maybe nostalgia is clouding my vision. Anyway, it's pretty fun. There's a lot of content, and it's actually difficult, which is nice to see anymore. There's a newer Eador... Masters of a Broken World, I think. I haven't had time to play that one. I have a feeling the original will take me at least a month to finish.
