Do you like strategy games, because I like them very much;-)

There's something satisfying about strategy games. Each time I accomplish something, it's just a really good feeling.

So yes, I enjoy strategy games.

"rulers of nations: geopolitical simulator 2" Is really cool game

Used to be quite obsessed with the Dune game series (which also generated an interest in the books) and Civilization. For a while strategy was my genre choice. I tried a bunch of other similar games, like Age of Empires and the first two warcraft games, but most of them were just uninspired clones. In the end i lost interest and was lost to RPGs and survival/horror instead. I´ve often thought of giving strategy games another swing but once I stop doing something it´s really hard to pick it up again. As of today I hardly play computer games at all anymore, which really doesn´t seem like me at all. Maybe if I quit working and became a recluse again.
Nah, I´d most likely just waste the time I´d gain on books and gunpla.

`I do like a game with a good steep learning curve.

At the moment I've found a rather lovely niche war game by Gary Grigsby. Very complex and a massive scale. Probably the dwarf fortress of the war games out there. You need to know what your doing and have some understanding of naval tactics and air combat as well. Though half the war is getting your logistics right.

War in the Pacific Admirals Edition. Has a massive scale as it's main campaign covers the entire pacific theater in world war 2. It's a very serious attempt at re-creating the conflict. The scale is fantastic, very detailed orders of battle. Each individual ship in the conflict is represented. Also has a few "what if" scenario's too. The map goes from East Africa and Cape Town to the West Coast of the USA and the Panama Canal.

This fella has done a good youtube video of the general game play. Shows an organised amphibious landing on the Philippines

Oh and the default setting is that each turn = 1 day in the game. And as he demonstrates in the video an awful lot of stuff can happen in one day.

I always loved the first two Warcraft games and an old DOS game titled Panzer General.

I don't play many strategy games. I did love turn based strategy games back in the day, like the Civilisation and Master of Orion series. Never was much into real time strategy, though I did play a fair bit of Total Annihilation and Warcraft. Generally the more micromanagement there is in a RTS the less I'll like it. Red Alert 3 was the absolute worst for this.

For the last few years the only strategy game I've played has been Sins of a Solar Empire. It recently got a new standalone expansion, Rebellion which I'm playing a lot of.

^^ Greetings pawelk1986. I believe that I really enjoy playing the strategy game named Crusader Kings II.

Civ 2

X-com (particularly UFO and Apocalypse)

Jagged Alliance 2

Wesnoth was pretty cool

Oh I'd say Jagged Alliance 2 too, as well as Valkyrie Chronicles, except to me they're more games of tactics than strategy.
