Turn based strategy games - Topic profile

There may be some but I have not heard of them.  I know there is Civilization, and I plan on getting it, but I was looking for more traditional types like Final Fantasy Tactics and the Disgaea games (on playstation).  Can anyone make any reccomendations? Thanks in advance. "When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die."

Thanks for all the replies guys, I will go check some of these out. "When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die."

I'm talking something along the lines of Fire Emblem or Vandal Hearts? Anybody any idea?

Thanks peeps, i'll try E Sonata i think

So this seems to be a much underappreciated genre, and I thought I'd get peoples opinions and recommendations on it. I personally haven't played too many of them, other than things like Civilization, and the combat in things like Fallout, so I'd be interested in your suggestions. What are your favourites (no other requirement other than that it's turn based, although being good would help)?

homm4, by far my favorite homm game. ( I loved how the heroes were actually units on the battle field for once. ) Then there alplha centuri, total war games don't count i guess. Hmm, then theres ummm... Actually thats about all the good turn based games I've played.

Hello I'm in a bit of a pickle at the moment. One of my all-time favourite games is Age Of Wonders. I just love playing it, always have. Problem is I can't get it to work with CrossOver. I don't fancy doing a full Parallels install for just one game, no matter how much I love it. So I thought I'd have a look at some alternatives for my real-time/strategy-based fix? ...

Well, I downloaded the demo of Civilization Revolution and it is sucking me in. I am never been a fan of strategy games, but this one has a trick: it is turn based. Like most RPGs indeed. I think Civ Rev will be for me what FF VII has been for RPGs in the Playstation. There are many similarities like Levelling up in different "skills", the battles when an enemy attacks you look like ...

QUOTE(mattness @ June 14th 2008, 12:50 PM) I do of course like the Civ series, but have yet to try CivIV. As I've said in previous posts, I have had bad luck with 3d engines in Strategy games. The 3D part of CivIV is fine, as far as not being annoying goes (not so fine as far as being fast, at least on the Mac version). QUOTE I am intrigued by Massive Assault. I seem to ...

I was thinking that despite this last little "patch" with the Mets, the Brewers are 7-4 in the last 11 games (.636 or a 103-win pace). That's still pretty good! If the Beer Men had gone 4-2 vs. the Pirates, 1-1 vs. STL and 2-1 vs. the Mets, we all would be feeling great, and the Beer Men would be..... 7-4 in the past 11 games! Same record! True, it would be nice to beat quality opponents ...

I don't often talk about self-published books here on SF-Fandom. There are many, many people who self-publish and most of them realize very poor sales (compared to editorially-chosen books promoted by regular publishers). Of course, a lot of self-published books are non-fiction books, how-to guides, recipe books, poetry collections, and personal memoirs that won't have mass market appeal ...

Stardock announced multiple "micro-expansions" to be available for Sins of a Solar Empire throughout the next year. The first of these expansions, Entrenchment , is currently being developed and will be available in late 2008 for $9.95. This expansion is said to add new weapon upgrades and defense platforms. Two other expansions also in the works will add new diplomacy features as well as new ...

Just for the record, readers, I’m here as a Plebeian (and I heart that word) – with a normal three-day pass I paid for with my own hard-earned money. I’m also hanging out with three friends and am subject to what they want to do, not what I want to cover. I have not once pulled rank as a Kotaku correspondent to score free shit or get into crowded events (okay, maybe once, but that was for ...
