Hi Everyone
I hove been looking for a new game, and I thought that the collective wisdom here might have some suggestions.
I am a huge fan of the turn-based military games. I really do not like the real-time games. Don’t know why, they just don’t do it for me. Unfortunately, the golden age of TBS seems to have passed. However, I figure that there must still be some folks making decent ones, and so I am looking for suggestions.
Just to provide a little context, my two favorites of all time are Panzer and People’s General. I still play them from time to time, but at this point they are pretty used up. I do like Civ (IV was great, I am not that impressed by V) but it is a war game second.
Also, I think I like a “medium complexity” game- some games just go a lttle too deep into the administrative activities, and for me, if that is what I wanted I would get a job. That’s why I think I like the General series. It is not over simplified (like the original Empire), but not a slog like Supreme Ruler 2010 (great concept, just too much work). As an aside, I was disappointed that they advertised that somewhere as TBS, but in fact it was RTS- their rationale was that you could set it to pause at the end of each turn. BS, I say, since I sitll had to manage the moment by moment actions of my units.
Anyway, any thoughts?
THanks
