XCOM, Civilization, and Heroes of Might and Magic are the standard bearers for me. Someday someone will create a new HOMM game and include a map maker. Player created maps was one of the best parts of that game.

@buttonman1831 Год назад

Me too

@andreashansen5748 Год назад

There is a fanmade expansion to HOMM3 called Horn of the abyss. Its updated the UI, added a faction and much more. The team that made the expansion is working on another one too. There is a vibrant community over on twitch, so check it out

@mainstuff7858 Год назад

@laszlobandi6456 Год назад

battle for wesnoth- it's free and kind of unique. I mostly enjoyed modded multiplayer games but some of solo quests are interesting. also quite a few people did their thesis for programming in it and they still do so there are some crazy advanced techs other games might use later. hero generations- it's kind of small and you might get bored of it in a few days, but there are some unique things, like each step is a year so you are spending your life with movement, and you convert towns for bonuses and fix them up. there are a few interesting strategies to either set up economy for next generations, or rush trough enemies with strong heroes, and it's the genetics and randomness that makes it fun.

@waltblackadar4690 Год назад

I applaud the effort but a list like this has a problem with recency bias. For instance, Civ IV is the peak of that series and no one has come close to topping Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. Then there's MOO2 and MOM - often imitated but never duplicated or equaled. There's nary a wargame on the list - what happened to titles like Panzer General, Order of Battle or even something like Jagged Alliance? The Banner Saga probably deserves a spot rather than multiple Total War games (and Warhammer 2 tops that list, not 3). And those are just one off the top of my head.

@CruentusDK1 Год назад

Dead on with Alpha Centauri being the best of the Sid Meiers stuff. Still have a physical copy of this that I won't get rid of.

@CruentusDK1 Год назад

That's funny as that was the only game on the list that I thought didn't deserve to be there. Not a terrible game, just doesn't belong on a list of "best of ALL TIME". No depth, but then again, I didn't like Banner Sagas that much either. Just breaking down someone's armor is just boring. Needed some magic and healing, and not JUST by the necro AI enemies.

@aadmzx6440 Год назад

I would have put it at the top of this list. It doesn't do a lot of things but it does it perfectly : RPG elements mixed with Management and Strategy. And almost endless campaign and replayability if you can get past its difficulty.

@TheNameOfJesus Год назад

X-COM v1 was the only game that could ever actually scare me. For example, I'm carefully, slowly, moving a soldier a few squares, and out of the blue there's a flash of light and startling sound that some alien has just shot me. In a way, those instant reactions actually violate the idea that it is a "turn based game" because those instant reactions occur OUT of a player's turn.

@buttonman1831 Год назад

The original Xcom is hands down the best Xcom.

@1norwood1 Год назад

The pinnacle for me is Sid Mier''s Alpha Centauri I played it so much when I was young. Another turn based game I really enjoyed from the 90's was Lords of Magic, It was kind of ike Heroes of Might and Magic but I liked the combat better.

@tightmf Год назад

Alpha centauri is a huge omission.

@OldSkullSoldier Год назад

Alpha Centauri has upper hand over all Civ games up to this day. You can build any unit that you logically should - for a price of course. You can make you own social system, gameplay is 3D - height has huge impact on gameplay! I don't understand why so many 3D games only just have 3D models, but are in fact 2D. AC is opposite - graphics is 2D, but gameplay is 3D! Name one civ-like game in which you have all of this. Maybe newer Civ games have some elements, but newer all of them. Only issues were: lack of faction balance and AI cheating on highest difficulty levels - although with expansion you get extra 7 factions to chose, so everyone can have strong faction - or everyone can have weak one. BTW: from semi-turn based it's worth mentioning Fallout Tactics, which is a hybrid as you can mix turn based and continous-turns mode.

@MiyabiSFG Год назад

Other pretty big absences are no Shining Force 1 or 2, no Fallout 2, and no FFT.

i have about 12 of these. i have a trio of turn based games but are table top war games A.pike and shot campaigns B.field of glory ancient battles C.fields of glory medieval they are all turn based battles in different periods historically interesting (well, for me , i tend to recearch the real battles afterwards)

@cedo3333 Год назад

Sure i think too this list lack of proper table top war games . But he went for "mainstream" title apparently and you know those game aren't popular in "mainstream" culture.

@@cedo3333 So, apart from those listed by Dave Wright, what are great table top wargames on pc? I love actual tabletop, have never played it on pc.

@cedo3333 Год назад

@@hicetnunc1129 I'm really fond of Darkest hour with the mod WWI. I'm not that expert on those games but the order of battle serie is must have played. And there is a lot of fan made campaign which is better than the dev's. Hum... there is one title on the US civil war the title don't want to come up... Edit: Oh i found it: Ultimate general civil war. I would add the unity of command franchise but it lacks a little about management according to me.

I just want a game like Darkest Dungeon... Any recommendations? -Aside from Iratus, I've played that.

@smilko00 Год назад

How Rome: Total War and TW:Shogun didn't make in the list? Is this even an objective list or you just through out your personal ratings there?

@dslims1 Год назад

Cant believe Final Fantasy Tactics didnt make the cut.
