After the sucess of my first post and seeing how many people still love the most forgotten subgenre, I've decided to change it into a monthly thing. I don't know how long it'll last. Could end this month, could go on for ever. Let's celebrate strategy games!

Before anyone asks why a february giveaway is starting in january, 2 reason: 1) february only has 28 days and I want it to last 30 days. 2) I won't be here on tuesday to create this topic.

About the game: Since last month I gaveaway a hd remake of an old game, the GA of the month will be for a game released last year : Cossacks 3. Lvl 1+ as always.
This way no one can say that there aren't decent new strategy games coming out anymore. Totally not dead genre guys!
Btw, there are still 2 days left to join january GA.

Ok, after some encouragement, I've decided to create a group focused on strategy games, so we can play together, share news and create GAs for strategy games. Tell me if you want an invite!

Edit: Group-only event has started. Group only GAs

I'm not sure if I should change this topic to group recruitment since, it's not the focus of the thread. Should I?

I'd like an invite if it's possible. I mostly play Grand Strat games and the Total War series but end up playing stuff like 4X and TBS when I feel like it. I used to play Brood War way back in 1998 and even played in a couple tournaments. Zerg is bae.

Used to always play RTS and now I mostly play turn based strategy. I guess getting older makes you slower

I would also like an invite to your group as strategy games are my favourite genre by a wide margin! Don't let my steam play times fool you I have sunken hundreds of hours into Civilization V, Europa Universalis III, Age of Empires and Age of Mythology as well as Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2 (All hail Yuri!) before I started using Steam for everything. ^^
Nowadays I prefer turn based strategy over realtime strategy, I hope this still qualifies!

My favorite RTS is Total Annihilation. I remember. I really like the concept of AI War,, but haven't played it yet. The poll is all RTS, what about other strategy types? Total War? Crusader Kings? Making history?

february's poll is rts only because of the game that is being given away (a RTS). [January's was a more open one(https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/y98pY/do-you-like-strategy-games-january-2-days-remaining).

I'm unfortunately not that often available to play online, but if it's okay with you when I drop in sometimes I'd like to apply for an invite too :>. All my friends are console geeks and therefore suck at RTS anyway ;D.

I have been a fan of the genre since I played Civilization 2 in the 90s. It is turn-based, contrary to Age of Empires or Starcraft, but I suppose it qualifies all the same. :P I also love the games created by Paradox, including Europa Universalis or Victoria. :)
