Guest Posted 20 February 2013 Share Posted 20 February 2013 Recently back into playing Europa Universalis and wondered what strategy games FTers would recommend. Civilisation series goes without saying, what else have you got? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaspa Posted 20 February 2013 Share Posted 20 February 2013 UNO on 360 Pulverise your mind with the unrelenting, epic, skillfest of joy. The game features 3 whole songs, which lull you into a predatory frame of mind ready to obliterate your foes. A card game based entirely on luck, only a clinical vegetable could spud it up on the surface, but a cold, calculative, ball scratching extraveganza of wit and determination not to bath with a toaster immediatly afterwards. Pit your wits against millions of old people in care and clinical potatos today Warning : Game may induce sudden bouts of homocide, genocide and a need to violate people in lifts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trav Le Bleu Posted 20 February 2013 Share Posted 20 February 2013 Age of Mythology. King of Dragon Pass is an unusual diversion from your typical strategy game, but nonetheless is one. http://www.gog.com/gamecard/king_of_dragon_pass Hearts of Iron, now into it's 3rd incarnation. All based in WW2, you can take control on practically any nation that existed around that time. If you want to see if Portugal could have turned the tide of war, this is the game for you - it is however VERY complex, but rewarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 22 February 2013 Share Posted 22 February 2013 Total War. /Thread. Yeah my son loves that series, I found it decent but not quite my taste risk! greatest board game ever. Fun to play on the computer but not complex enough UNO on 360 Pulverise your mind with the unrelenting, epic, skillfest of joy.

Age of Empires 2 Also XCOM: Enemy Unknown Enjoyable a few years ago - occasionally put it back on Age of Mythology.

Was told that HoI is extremely complex, will probably pick that up on a steam/paradox special. i see Paradox have a new Napoleonic "march of the Eagle" out too. Will look into King of Dragon pass; http://www.tribalwars.net/ is very good! Know the name, can't remember if I've tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haydos Posted 22 February 2013 Share Posted 22 February 2013 Enjoyable a few years ago - occasionally put it back on It came out about 5 months ago. The new one? Have you tried it?

BoneDog Posted 22 February 2013 Share Posted 22 February 2013 I enjoyed the owd Cossacks II - Napoleanic Wars or something. "Aye Commander". Used to play skirmishes or whatever they're called on that quite alot. You could build a church or mosque and send out the priests to the front line for the chanting. Chopping wood, building canons and guarding windmills. Can't ask for much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mammalian Posted 22 February 2013 Share Posted 22 February 2013 Age of Empires 2 Just what I was thinking as soon as I saw the topic. What a game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike the Metal Ed Posted 23 February 2013 Share Posted 23 February 2013 I'm completely addicted to Civilization V right now, right up until I inevitably get ambushed. Also, yes, Settlers of Catan is great fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manwell Pablo Posted 26 February 2013 Share Posted 26 February 2013 Just what I was thinking as soon as I saw the topic. What a game! Amount of time I lost to that between the age of 15-17 = unreal. (More than add on pack than the orginal) I can remember getting a rating of 1700 on the MSN Gaming Zone and being elated . Must have about 600-700 games on there under my belt, at least.

MC Prussian Posted 26 February 2013 Share Posted 26 February 2013 I loved Colonization back in the days. I think you can still get it online. The graphics may look outdated, but it's very enjoyable and highly addictive. Other recommendations: SimCity and Civilization II: Test Of Time.
