MunterHunter Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Any suggestions for a good PC based Strategy game? Simcity5 was a huge let down, Crusader Kings2 you need to do a MBA before you know how to play it, I've played Civ5 to death already... anyone have any other suggestions? New or old, doesn't matter as long as its a good, fun, enjoyable game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianwuk Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) Another vote for Starcraft 2. EA are also re-re-re-releasing Command and Conquer as a free to play title shortly so that may be worth looking in to as well.

ianwuk Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Can you tell us whats so bad about the new Sim City? I was thinking of getting it From what I have read the AI is not so hot for the cars and people in the city. Constant connection to the internet upsets many and the area size in which to build your city is not big enough so you constantly have to rearrange it all. I have not played it though. I may try it out when it finally reaches the Mac soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MunterHunter Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 The AI is dire... the land plots are woefully too small (try getting a good working city of more than 250,000 residents!) no offline mode, the server stability was really bad (meaning you couldn't play!) I like the online idea, play 'regions' with friends, but i think they should have made an offline mode. Basically its a step down from SimCity4 I had such high hopes for this game, but it was a total let-down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davejonesbkk Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 wow, such a shame. I remember pre-launch there was some marketing blurb from EA and one of the developers was talking about what this scaled down version was better and I was thinking he was nuts. Yeah Ive heard of Dwarf Fortress, it looks pretty hardcore lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narkeddiver Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Taking this topic in a slightly different direction (apologies) an old 8 bit strategy game that some might remember - Lords of Midnight - has been converted to the iPad and android and PC and mac versions are in the works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjie Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes is good, it's like Civ 5 with a Fantasy type theme (Orcs etc..). Also Company Of Heroes 2 has a free open Beta at the moment on Steam, that's also a very good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkockney Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Company of Heroes, anything from the Total War series, Wargame: Air Land Battle, Panzer Korps Afrika, Rome 2 (coming September), Defcon: Everybody Dies, stuff from Shrapnel Games. And for something completely different (and maybe the most interesting thing you'll ever play?): Spy Party Where essentially you must behave like the AI do, complete spy related tasks and fool another human player into thinking your character is AI controlled not human controlled. Very interesting concept and great fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tahmid Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Another vote for Starcraft 2. As well as Warhammer 40k(especially recomended) and XCOM (the new one, I was too young when the first one came out xD also has some rpg elements) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirstymelb101 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Age Of Empires. Red Alert (don't know why anyone didn't mention this). Diablo 2. I know it's RPG but still a great classic. Roller coaster Tycoon is awesome! It's non-stop fun and will keep you entertained for a few weeks at least. If you wonder why a girl like me plays games? Well the answer is simple - I grew up in a home with 3 Asian brothers who were, and 1 still is a hardcore gamer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsadryheat Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 (edited) all of the above and Galactic Civlizations II. I stumbled on it a few months ago. Big fun. Take over the universe one turn at a time. I'm too old and slow to play shooters with twitchy youths these days, but I love the turn based strat games the most. I can't count the number of games I've owned over the decades, but sim city was never one of them.

I have no idea about it being the best. it's a lot of fun though and very tough at anything past average difficulty. It's a different strategy than playing the land based war games like civ or total war. For $20 it's a good deal. Many hours of gameplay to waste the day away.
