Sid Meier's Starships? I can be satisfied with a Galactic Civilization III news,(!), but there is no release date.

[A Crusty Knight Of Colour]

They're bringing back Frostlings? 

 

Oh sweet as hell. Penguin Stacks of Death here I come. 

 

[Kaiser Arian XVII]

It's very difficult to say Which is better:

Age of Wonders III

or

Endless Legend

 

But I prefer the second one.

If there is anything that grinds my gears about turn based rpgs is that once you get the hang of it the combat in these games start to feel drawn out, lazy, and overall like a chore.

 

This was very apparent to me in the second playthrough of Divinity Original SIn. I like the game and it's variety but combat, even though it was one of the best I had played in a while, becomes a chore when you know you are going to win but you can't speed up the pacing at all.

Exactly, it's like you've solved the puzzle and the future really just offers more HP for enemies and maybe some new colours of explosions.

 

It's such a shame, I'd love a game where the difficulty level didn't alter things like HP or damage but instead gave new and ever more challenging AI to play against. That way the point where you "solve the puzzle" combat wise would appear much later on your second play through for example

They're adding Tigerins as well.

 

 

All I want to see now the the Shadow Realm and Shadow Demons.

I can say in RTS games for example Age of Empires II and Rise of Nations, the hardest difficulty is using huge advantages too but it's spread between many factors. At the end it doesn't matter, if you play against two enemies (1vs2) you cannot possibly win.

Can we all appreciate two great turn based RPG's?

I wonder when Maxis is gonna start working on Civilization 6. Civilization V: BNW is so perfect, nobody thinks about Civ 6!

Maybe they can go Square again to appeal to Civ 4 fanatics instead of hive looking maps.

 

When I play more hours from Galactic Civilization III, I write a review for it here.

Chaos Gate, a proper old school turn based strategy. You have a limited roster of troops, they gain veteran status and awards, customisation, dead Space Marines stay dead.

 

Also, Best. Soundtrack. Ever.

Boooooring

Has anyone heard of That Which Sleeps?

 

 

A turn-based 'god' game, only in this case you are playing as Cthulhu trying to corrupt and destroy the world.

 

I only just now found out about it so I missed the kickstarter, but I will be picking this one up for sure when it comes out.

Been playing the crap out of Endless Legend after the news about the next expansion DLC came around.

[AventuroLegendary]

Still waiting on Fire Emblem Fates, out now in Japan. Carefully.... missing.... every.... spoil- ARRRGH!

[Cz-99]

I want a remake of Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones.

I'm pretty sure CIV fanatics had the least issue with the switch to hexagons.

 

What CiVI would imho need is to get rid of this nonsensical metagaming AI. It makes no sense that you can be best palas with another civilization but it suddenly turns tail and stabs you in the back just because the AI took a look at the scoreboard and concluded "bruh, u r 2 close to winning, that's no cool, bruh".

And the second big change would be to turn down the cheats the AI is using. Nonsensical war declarations are bad enough, but them suddenly insta-buying whole armies when they were positively impoverished just the round before is plain bad game design!

 

But eh, at this moment I honestly don't care much for Civilization anymore (and I've had thousands of hours sunk into Civ games). My TBS addiction is properly served with Endless Legend (new expansion coming up, plus I'll go to a Meet'n'drink event with Amplitude devs during Gamescom, woohoo) and as soon as I see GalCivIII getting a sale, I'll throw my wallet at the screen. Between those two games, I have no need for another Civ.

 

 

What everyone should take away from this if they aren't interested and/or don't share my opinion about current Civilization games, play Endless Legend. It's awesome! Way better than CiV and the fullprice space-skin DLC.

What would you want improved in that game? It's aged pretty well.

Make it twice as long and twice as hard. And for the PC.
 

[AventuroLegendary]

Not every game needs Lunatic+. Or a lazy thoughtful PC port.

[Fast Jimmy]

Heh.

I hope they'll bring back the awesome Espionage elements from Civilization III (Conquests) to the 6th.

 

In the meantime I was working on my Grand Strategy and 500 turn planning to work on the Emperor's difficulty. I completely mastered the (5) King difficulty. It's my 3rd emperor game, playing as Ramkhamhaeng on a continent plus map and I'm doing great at turn 440. The Naval battles are intense, I also had to change my ideology to Order, so I can get rid of -50 unhappiness. Now I'm kinda allied with Shakka(!) against England, Germany and Rome (especially the last two are very strong). I'm currently 3rd with 2300 points. I have never felt an awesome World War like this before. It shows the awesomeness of games with random maps. Each game is quite a different experience, a different world...

Actually, if espionage is what you're longing for, keep very close tabs on the new Endless Legend DLC: Shadows.

 

 

Really, after CiV was such a disappointment for me and Beyond Earth really more of a reskin than anything, the Civlization series has been going downhill fast, but thankfully Endless Legend is picking up the slack bigtime. It's my new favourite 4X TBS (at least for as long as get my hands on GalCivIII during the autumn/winter sale I presume). I'm pretty confident that between those two games, anything Civilization tries to come up with has to be substantially better than their previous performance if they want a piece of the cake. And the impression I got from many previously hardcore Civ fans (at least those I know), is that a good number of them are migrated towards those other two games, which is obviously bad, because when facing strong competition, it's usually the hardcore fanbase that keeps a struggling series financially afloat.

 

Well, at least the Civ modding community is the games' saving grace for now.

[Kaiser Arian XVII]

The good things about Endless Legend are Arts (visual and music), Resources, Tech-trees and Region management

 

But the largest map is not very big (kinda like the Standard size of Civilization) and Diplomacy is somehow weak (which will be improved with that DLC it seems) and 300 turns is low.

 

 

I only could conquer one state from my southern neighbor. Managing Technology is hard in this game.
