Tanukitsune Posted July 9, 2012 I tried the series with relative success? I played Armored Princess and liked it until I felt the pacing was too slow because I had cleared a few islands and hadn't made much progress in the main quest. If Grotesque Tactics is considered to be like King's Bounty, then that series I managed to play and beat them, they were much shorter than the King's Bounty games, which I probably why I liked them.

falconne Posted July 18, 2012 You mentioned SM Pirates... you might like Patrician 3 (not 4). You play a Hanseatic League merchant trying to move up in the world by trading, manufacturing, building ships, fighting pirate fleets, a little dynasty building and some political manoeuvring, etc. If you like economic games with historical flavour, I highly recommend it. There's also Port Royale 2, made by the same company, but lighter on the economic side. If you want a more recent game, you could also try Paradox's "Commander: Conquest of the Americas", the spiritual successor to East India Company. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fallen Posted December 2, 2012 Elite, Masters of Orion, Pirates! Civ 2! ... those were strategy games! It is nice to see a lot of people going back to retro-game styles and making games that focus on good game play and not all the other ... stuff. Though, as a fledgling artist, i do love the beautiful ones! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
