  • I need a strategy game which doesn't suck.

    I loved EU2, EU3, Civ4, HOI2, but thought HOI3 sucked ass while I got bored of Shogun 2 with in 48 hours. What's a good game which doesn't suck ass?

      Yeah I heard it was a lot of micromanagement.

      ACK!

        The new HoI2 expansions? Darkest Hour and Arsenal of Democracy?

        There's even another one called IC that works on top of either of those two (or armageddon) and adds a ****tonload of provinces (yes, that many) called Iron Cross.


        [edit:] Granted, it's more of the same, but it's still better more of the same

          I have Arenal of Democracy but it's a buggy mess which they haven't fixed (I have yet to see a single capital ship sunk in that game), I haven't heard of Darkest Hour so I will look it up, I also already have Iron Cross.

            I've played AoD + IC as the USA and sunk the entire Japanese fleet with my carriers (they've still got a couple of light ships going around), as well as AoD + CORE as the Soviets, and here the japs have lost most of their capitals, and sunk a couple of british and US ones in return.

              Sengoku is said to be the most polished PI game at release to date. It's a lot simpler than normal PI games, but it is basically Shogun: Total War reimagined into PI's grand strategy recipe.

              Darkest Hour is awesome, especially the Kaiserreich mod.

                Hm, it may be old, but did you try Rome Total War?
                IMHO it is still a fine game, especially if you use some of the mods that increase the realism of the game

                      Frozen Synapse is sold as pay what you want atm, so you can give it a try. However, it's a tactical game.

                        I have also been in the mood for this.

                        I Recently bought:
                        Making History II

                        But haven't really tried it out yet.

                        Is DH really worth it? Or AoD?

                            I'd say DH is well worth it, AoD not so much.

                              How does it compare to HoI3? Is there a Mac version?
