Another space based TBS game, and one that has sucked up more of my time than any other TBS combined, is [Space Empires IV](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Empires_IV). It’s nothing to look at but it’s a hell of a lot of fun to play, very addictive. You can download it from [Steam](http://storefront.steampowered.com/v2/index.php?area=game&AppId=1610) for $10.

It’s also easily mod-able if you like that kind of thing. There are many better AI mods out there.

Sean O’Connor’s Windows Games occupy some of my sleepless hours. Slay is a very simple hex based strategy castle builder that I’ve toyed with for years.
