So trying to decide on a turn based 4x game to get. About to be able to get an actual up to date computer and have money to support strategy gaming again. Time to play will be limited so want to get the best one. My favorite strategy game of all time is still Sid Meir's Alpha Centauri - for both the strategic depth but honestly more so for the fact it has characters and story. I still remember the names and characters of each of the leaders (Morgan, Zackarhov, Lang, Miriam). Passed AC, Civ 6 is a favorite as is Endless Legend. On endless legend though the fact the story for each faction really ended the same didn't do it for me. Looked at Stellaris for a long time but the lack of what I consider real win conditions - say like building a ship that goes to another galaxy - puts me off. Old World I have this problem with as well. Rouge Like mechanics and randomness in my strategy games I don't think I would like so against the storm is out (though could be convinced otherwise). Looked very closely at Zephon especially after some of Rock Paper Shotguns coverage but man are the graphics old school. Thought about Age of Wonders but it seems to be several short stories rather than one long one...really want a good sci-fi one ... would love alpha centauri with updated mechanics and graphics ... sigh. Thoughts?

Hello! Monika here from Boomzap, creators of strategy game Legends of Callasia. It was our first game in that genre and it was a huge learning experience for us, so now we're working on our next strategy game. Last Regiment is a fantasy-themed strategy game with single-player campaigns and simultaneous turn-based multiplayer wherein all players plan and resolve their moves at the same time. It takes the best parts of Legends of Callasia, makes a bunch of neat changes for a faster, deeper, and more strategic game, and allows player to design their own levels through its built-in map editor. The game is still in its alpha stage, but we are opening its development progress and livestreaming it on Twitch! The weekly dev stream starts on April 19 10PM EST at twitch.tv/ninesquirrels. Most, if not all, of the art we'll be making for this game are hand-drawn and digitally painted. Here's Olivia, our lead character. If you can guess from this close-up image, we are building the game in a fantasy world set in the mid 1700s. I'll be posting our progress here, with screenshots and wips, after our first stream.

I wonder if anyone here has played warlords, the old classic turn based strategy game for PC. Very tactical and with a lot of freedom for the player. A bit like chess, but on a huge board and with loads of pieces. Not pretty graphically though. Anyone know of it and want to have a duel? http://www.warbarons.com
