Guest Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 This might be the wrong place to post this but it's worth a try. I've been playing a lot of RPGs lately and now I feel like playing a cozy strategy game with a fantasy theme. Previously I've enjoyed games like Age of Wonders 1&2(Didn't enjoy AoW 3), King's Bounty and Master of Magic(very old) but it's hard to find anything like those. It seems most of the games today are either some hastily slapped together indie shit, or browser based cash-grab. I wouldn't mind a game where you build a village or a town for some change, but it's hard to find anything with quality. I want a game where I can relax and enjoy the atmosphere without stress, so it has to be turn based or at least not time-dependent. It doesn't have to be super new but the graphics need to be good. If there is in no such game I'll just accept it cause my search haven't yielded any results so far. I've tried Heroes of Might and Magic VI but that game suffers from lack of choice and strategy. It was disappointing that HoMM VII suffered from the same issues cause it looked great from the screenshots.The previous games in the series might be good but they are too old with outdated graphics.
sila Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 You mention you liked older titles like age of wonders, have you tried Disciples 2? It is kinda similar to those and can be quite enjoyable. Newer stuff is..... admittedly a mixed bag for pure strategy but.... You say you like rpgs, would you consider a turn based rpg like Divinity: Original sin? Edit: I just noticed Disciples 2 gold is 85% off on gog right now, would be a good time to try it out.
Deso561PL Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 Warcraft 3 with mods is seriously legit thing, but there is rumors that Activision finally(?) will do an proper remaster. If not in SC2 everyday is getting more arcade games wih Warcraft 3 assets.

Kamen Rider Kuuga Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 Well, I mean, the PS1/PSP Final Fantasy Tactics is a turn based strategy RPG. There's also Bahamut Lagoon, which was the original FFT.
Invictusblade Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 there are three games in my list Total war Warhammer Endless Legend Hard West (a XCOM inspired turn based fantasy western)
sila Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 there are three games in my list Total war Warhammer Endless Legend Hard West (a XCOM inspired turn based fantasy western) Well total war has turn based elements in it but its mainly for the real time strategy, definitely would recommend that game though, along with medieval 2. Endless Legend is a game ive looked at before, I really should give it a try tbh
ToJKa Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes is a turn-based 4x fantasy RTS i've enjoyed in the past.
godcalledsick Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Total War: Warhammer is as legit as it gets these days, can't wait for the sequel.Heroes of Might and Magic V with all expansions is very good also, tho a bit dated now if you care for graphics.
sen4mi Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes is a turn-based 4x fantasy RTS i've enjoyed in the past. Fallen Enchantress is a great game, but I do not know if its graphics would be considered adequate?
Guest Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Thanks for all the tips, but no need to mention popular titles like Warcraft, SC2 and WoW. I watch games closely as they come out and I have played all of those. I'm looking for a 4x game to be more specific and none of the titles mentioned catched my interest. I don't like war games where you control large armies that has clones of the same units. It needs to have an RPG element. One game that I liked the look of is Eador Imperium. Has anyone played that?

Does it have to be a fantasy game? Europa Universalis is quite fun, or Stellaris if you want some sci-fi 4x. As for Eador Imperium, it looks really nice but I have not tried it, definitely dropping that into my sales watch list though

Stellaris could be fun. I'll check it out.
Nexussuckstwice Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 I recommend couple of good old games Fantasy wars Fantasy wars Elven legacy http://www.cheatcc.com/imagespc/elvenlegacy_4a.jpg https://gamewatcher-images.s3.amazonaws.com/image/file/7/15/63447/00288251.jpg http://i.neoseeker.com/n/6/elv5.jpg Ascension to the throne Ascension to the throne valkyrie http://www.eprison.de/pics/games/442/pic_1233455660.jpg http://www.gameland.ru/post/44838/img/ATThrone-04.jpg http://fireflowergames.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Ascension_to_the_Throne_5.jpg and one new Legends of Eisenwald http://squarefaction.ru/files/game/10321/gallery/20150423003023_9f31d6fe.jpg https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5508a261e4b011797c2caf29/t/55bf8756e4b0b060942dcd74/1438615393543/ http://www.thatvideogameblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Quick-Look-Legends-of-Eisenwald-with-Gameplay-Video-425208-7.jpg http://bigger-boat.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/6.jpg Older games were so much sexier by the way. Although Legends of Eisenwald could be forgiven for its modest appearance , since it represents more of less real medieval Germany (with mystical elements), I still would be happy to see sexy mods for it, like typical fantasy women in revealing armor in old good days. Ahoy Modders? Anyone?
Nexussuckstwice Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 Oh, almost forgot another great new game (which is basically reincarnation of Master of Magic, now with Heroes) Warlock 2 Master of the Arcane http://www.theaveragegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Warlock-Master-of-the-Arcane-Preview-2.jpg https://vgtimes.ru/uploads/gallery/main/135715/ss_13e161b344ff587ebe8ff92dfb11d77e8b9c3.jpg This game also has some humorous elements (you gotta see those knights), one of the heroes actually Thief and the old Great mage himself - yes, kinda parody on Dumbledore. https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/warlockmota/images/7/73/Zui_i15d10.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140330100309 By the way its from the same people who made Elven legacy and shares many good things with it.
Nexussuckstwice Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 If space sci-fi is ok, then try Space Rangers Space Rangers 2: Dominators there is also new version http://store.steampowered.com/app/214730/Space_Rangers_HD_A_War_Apart/ Nexus The Jupiter Incident http://store.steampowered.com/app/6420/Nexus__The_Jupiter_Incident/ Haegemonia: Legions of Iron http://store.steampowered.com/app/294770/Haegemonia_Legions_of_Iron/ and brand new Battlestar Galactica Deadlock http://store.steampowered.com/app/544610/Battlestar_Galactica_Deadlock/ Amazing games!

Then add loverslab CK2 adult mods on top of that (compatible from what I played) and you got yourself an X-rated Warhammer mod for CK2 I personally like the warhammer mod for CK2 far better than warhammer total war. Plus all the adult mods for it are nice ;P
